Got 7 (technically 8) characters right? Nope, all lucky guesses, Gematsu is ded 100%, that's all folks, Dark Pits for everyone .Outdated info remains outdated info no matter how you look at it.
Well, the leak was wrong. It's likely that the leaker did, in fact, have some sort of inside information at some point. It's debatable how much is actually accurate, so we shouldn't be too hasty in saying the leak isn't worth considering.Hindsight bias? Hindsight bias.
Seriously, Sakurai said himself that Greninja's spot was a placeholder. Didn't that raise a few alarms? Moreover, he still got two characters right in his second leak, no matter how unlikely/likely they are, and his first list should have proven he's credible enough.
Let's not be hasty in calling the leak wrong.
I like reading your posts in Ron Swanson's voice, it makes it sound confident and intelligent everytimeThe way I see it, Shulk and Isaac are pretty similar in chance of inclusion. Isaac has more concrete evidence for his inclusion, while Shulk's evidence are good indicators and not necessarily substantial. Regardless, I like both characters and would be happy to see one or both of them in the game.
I know from experience that leakers get several things wrong. It's common.Let's not be hasty in calling a leak that guessed Chrom wrong. Ok.
Did I say it's 100% right? I'm just saying it's not 100% wrong.Well, the leak is incorrect. The leak claimed Chrom would be a playable character, but he's confirmed to be part of Robin's Final Smash. Sure we can say it's outdated or whatever other excuses out there. But it's not 100% correct, therefore making it incorrect.
Outdated doesn't mean wrong.Outdated info remains outdated info no matter how you look at it.
So, Barbara the Bat confirmed?Honestly Isaac has more going for him than Shulk does.
AKA: Isaac was previously an assist but hasn't been shown in that role, Shulk has pretty much nothing.
I really would rather Isaac but if Shulk did get in I'd go with it.
His first leak got 6/6. His second leak got 1.5/5 and then was proven false. Obv it's still correct because the first one was, right?Got 7 (technically 8) characters right? Nope, all lucky guesses, Gematsu is ded 100%, that's all folks, Dark Pits for everyone .
I don't think "fan support" counts as substantial evidence for a character's inclusion.
Substantial? No. Nor does it make a character incredibly likely (as much as I'd love to see Geno).If fan support was an important factor then Geno, Ridley, and K. Rool would be all in Smash.
No you did not, however you did say, "Let's not be hasty in calling the leak wrong."Did I say it's 100% right? I'm just saying it's not 100% wrong.
My point is that calling it dead and completely unsubstantial to speculation is just as foolish as when people thought of it as gospel and ironclad truth before Robin's reveal, we shall wait and see.His first leak got 6/6. His second leak got 1.5/5 and then was proven false. Obv it's still correct because the first one was, right?
...I just said that it's not 100% wrong.No you did not, however you did say, "Let's not be hasty in calling the leak wrong."
I'm simply responding by saying that it is indeed wrong.
Oh, of course Isaac has a very real chance. He's far from impossible.Substantial? No. Nor does it make a character incredibly likely (as much as I'd love to see Geno).
I was stating that saying he has "Zero Chance" was absurd. He has clearly caught enough attention to be an assist trophy and has the moveset potential for more. I don't see Isaac becoming a fighter, but he has a chance since Little Mac proved that it is possible for an Assist Trophy to become more. I am merely saying that this equates to SOMETHING, however significant you may deem it.
It's still incomplete, and left out Rosalina and got Chrom flat out wrong. To assume Chorus Kids and Shulk are both all but confirmed at this point would be unwise. For all we know, they could get Chrom'd as well.Got 7 (technically 8) characters right? Nope, all lucky guesses, Gematsu is ded 100%, that's all folks, Dark Pits for everyone .
I agree, but let's not count them out yet either.It's still incomplete, and left out Rosalina and got Chrom flat out wrong. To assume Chorus Kids and Shulk are both all but confirmed at this point would be unwise. For all we know, they could get Chrom'd as well.
From the two of them, I see Shulk as the more likely. Chorus Kids seem like Chrom, a placeholder name for a character from the same franchise. Technical difficulties could hinder Chorus Kids greatly as well. Or they could've been skipped entirely, and reworked into Rosalina, who's also a duo character with her Lumas AND coincidently left out of the leak.I agree, but let's not count them out yet either.
Could it; perhaps, be because those who worshiped the leak as gospel are the ones who believe that the leak was refuted entirely? The same incompetent individuals that failed to recognize the the leak was not completely accurate (there were many inconsistencies) are the same people who believe that nothing else on the leak will happen.My point is that calling it dead and completely unsubstantial to speculation is just as foolish as when people thought of it as gospel and ironclad truth before Robin's reveal, we shall wait and see.
You know what other great MU's I'm looking forward to?Isaac is badass, and would put Robin to shame with his combination of Psynergy and sword fighting. It's a match up am greatly looking forward to.
Yes, you JUST said that. I responded to:...I just said that it's not 100% wrong.
Christ, we're arguing semantics at this point. Whatever.

Don't think so, i'm sure False Sense always worshipped the leak anyways .Could it; perhaps, be because those who worshiped the leak as gospel are the ones who believe that the leak was refuted entirely?

The protagonist of X is completely customizable, and doesn't share the same...charm(?) as Shulk would. There's no reason to think he would get "Chrom'd", considering the reason Chrom got passed over because Sakurai thought he was lame.

Shulk stands the greatest chance, cause he has no competition in his own franchise as far as I know of. However, the protagonist of X -if not Shulk himself- could eventually take his spot to.
It's in Link's character profile on the site IIRC.Hey Quick Question,
Was THIS
A Pic of the Day or was it one of those pictures that came with the huge image dumps?
Nah it's always been pretty bad, even if Gematsu hadn't been proven wrong, people would still have flame wars about it's legitimacy until we got the full roster anyway.By the way, the only thing that demoting Getmatsu did was make speculation 10x worse.
Really? I think the opposite. After Gematsu, I think speculation became much more friendlier towards other characters. People that wanted other characters outside of the leak regained hope. I apologize if I misinterpreted your post.By the way, the only thing that demoting Getmatsu did was make speculation 10x worse.
... That's actually what he doesn't like about itReally? I think the opposite. After Gematsu, I think speculation became much more friendlier towards other characters. People that wanted other characters outside of the leak regained hope. I apologize if I misinterpreted your post.
Everyone thought Gematsu plus the all veterans before the Robin reveal was the final roster, it was sad.By the way, the only thing that demoting Getmatsu did was make speculation 10x worse.
I agree for the most part, but I think the big issue is the fact that he did indeed get something wrong. By getting that one thing wrong, it opens the door for the rest of it being, potentially, wrong. It can't be trusted. It's still useful for speculation, and everything the leak got right up to this point still earns a curious head-tilt, but there's still undeniable proof that it's inaccurate. That one inaccuracy throws suspicion on the whole thing, even if that seems unfair.The protagonist of X is completely customizable, and doesn't share the same...charm(?) as Shulk would.

All of the people saying Gematsu is fake because of one inconsistency are frankly, incorrect. Leaks have been wrong about certain facts here or there for other games, like Pokemon X/Y. They got the typing of two starters mixed up, but 90% of it was correct. Does that make them a faker? Probably not.
Gematsu got Chrom wrong. Yes, he was wrong. On one part of the leak. He got Wii Fit Trainer AND Mii Fighter. People seem to be forgetting that. He leaked that Mii's were titled, "Mii Fighter" the morning of Nintendo's stream at E3, and it contained the exact same list as the second leak.
Him not getting Rosalina doesn't matter either, because the leaker never once said that those were all of the newcomers, and better yet, why leak a character everybody knew about? That doesn't make any sense!
Sure, he could be wrong. I'm not denying that. But the reasons I'm seeing aren't really damning. All I'm seeing is, "The things he got right don't matter. The ONE THING he got wrong was what matters." We aren't in the development team. We don't know what happened. Only time will tell with the Gematsu leak, and that's that.
I'm not sure why I'm being mentioned here...Don't think so, i'm sure False Sense always worshipped the leak anyways .
Not everyone.Everyone thought Gematsu plus the all veterans before the Robin reveal was the final roster, it was sad.
Objectively speaking, by getting one thing wrong, he got one thing wrong. It is not relevant that the rest of the information is potentially inaccurate. It is your prerogative to feel that way; however, it is not supported by any rational reasoning as the information has yet to be contested. You can choose to not trust it (a wise decision), that does not materially alter the notion that your opinion on the matter does not make it any more inaccurate.I agree for the most part, but I think the big issue is the fact that he did indeed get something wrong.

Ultimately, it shouldn't effect speculation at all. If it were a perfect world, anything unconfirmed and not directly refuted should be fair game for speculation. However, we live in an internet where one person's guess is often deemed to be "better" than another person's guess.
Of course you don'tI'm not sure why I'm being mentioned here...
