EGM Rumor

I read in EGM (electronic gaming monthly) that in the subspace emmisary, each character is going to have it's own individual plot, kind of like Sonic Adventure Had. Does anyone know if this rumor is true?

Judging by todays update it's possible. It looks like characters might have their own events to deal with.

It would be really cool if each character had their own storyline, complete with cutscenes that are as graphically beautiful as the ones already shown. If this is true, then i'd say that the "Halberd Hijacked" idea would make more sense, and that would be Meta Knight's plot.

You can't spell EGM without EGM.

Basically, does it matter that it was Aprils? Yes, it was an April Fools Joke, but they didn't say it was until the November Issue, and kept pushing Fake Screens.
Really? I only saw that in the April Issue. Ah well. It was so long ago.

Look, it will have multiple paths. Like Sonic Adventure? No, I doubt they'd put that much effort into it. I say it'll be like Sonic Heroes, where it all tied together, but it didn't have it's own story so say.

I believe so becouse in the pictures. You see them contacting Pit,Samus etc... one at a time and shows how/why there in this fight.

So there will be ,but if it goes beyond a cut scene are something remains to be seen.

No, I mean Sonic Adventure, in the sense that each character had their own thing going on, that eventually crossed paths with all the other characters.

How stupid do you have to be to take something like that in EGM's April issue seriously? They do an April Fool's joke EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Yes. It matters it was April. It was April Fool's. It is a joke. There was only ever one fake screen, it was in the April issue. If you can prove me wrong, prove me wrong. I don't promise I'll shut up though.

Anyway, this is likely just a misunderstanding.

I know what you mean, but I doubt/hope Sakurai goes that far.

If they do that, it leaves less room for characters. Which I'm ALL about.

For sure it will have branching story lines that'll tie in together in the end. As Sariku stated not as much as Sonic Adventure but more like Sonic Heroes. Characters paths will cross and they'll team up and they'll evetually meet up at the very end. I'm interested in how Mario and Pit met. :laugh:

Easy. Mario got PWN'D and landed on Skyworld.

I think that Sakurai would be creative enough to include 30+ characters, and have them all cross paths with each other at one point. He doesn't seem to dissapoint that often when it comes to this game.

The crash would be slightly amusing, but most likely, Pit will discover Mario's Unconcious body while flying around the area.

Knowing any time Mario's ever hurt badly, some new ally recovers his body afterwards. ie: Paper Mario.

He could easily make it over 40. And who said Branching Story Lines?! EGM IS FULL OF MORONS, they don't know anyhting about Video Games. They want Publicity, and now that Halo 3 has everything revealed, Smash is the next best thing to "poke at".

The segment was "50 things you didn't know", which then that means 47 lies about other video games too. They've got a lot of explaining to do, if you're right!

I could very easily be wrong. But I don't see why the Smash Community can believe anything they say right now.

Ohh Sonic in Melee. You know there are STILL people who believe that? Whats next, Deoxys was a Pokeball in Melee that only had a .520734 chance in 87687866876987 to get? And it wasn't in the Debug menu? If they do that, you can call me a god.

Deoxys didn't exist when Melee came out.
That's EXACTLY why EGM would say that. "THEY TRIED TO SPOIL YOU GUYS IN MELEE BY SHOWING YOU A PROTOTYPE POKEMON, AND WE'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO ACCUALLY FOUND HIM! START PLAYING WITH ITEMS TO SEE HIM, BWAHAHAHA!"

Only smart people would see the rips of Deoxys is from PBR.

You realize that is was a stupid prank? one year, they did a Topless Mode for DoA: Xtreme Volleyball. Nobody believed their credibility. EGM is a pretty good video game source magazine for every month except for April. They don't usually joke around on stuff like that, when it's not April. Plus, the other 3 facts that they gave were all accurate.

1. Smashbros.com updates every weekday.
2. The 3 newcomers are Ike, PKMN Trainer, And Diddy Kong (this was before Lucas was announced)
3. Sakurai's first video game he designed was Kirby's Dream Land.

They can't lie about facts like that. You can ask any n00b on this forums. 99% of them could tell you the same thing.
