This is off topic and may be a dumb question but is Shulk going to be in the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles X?

I guess this is like, the community's punishment for spreading those leaks like wildfire. No more interesting Pics of the Day....just Menu shots from now on.
Sakurai : Did you know that Smash Run is an exclusive mode on the Nintendo 3DS Version?

I think they said the game is taking place in a different world than the one in the original, so i guess no...

Also Congrats on getting Shulk, supporters!:colorful:

Oh a different world huh? I would hope to see him return in his own game considering he's more than likely in Sm4sh.

Most likely not. If Nintendo decides to make Xenoblade a long-running series, then Xenoblade will probably be their Final Fantasy or Tales where each iteration is a spiritual successor and a standalone title.

I'd personally hope so, they've shown an image of someone who looks similar to Shulk, and the Monado is the Xenoblade in Xenoblade chronicles.

Anyone else think it's funny that
Shulk told Melia he'd be there for her and then ditches her once they find Fiora? Just watched Chuggaa's episode 40 and laughed about it to myself

That was her reaction when Shulk tried to help her?

I would have just left her where she was and just look for Fiora, unless she was important to the plot and even then I would hate having her around.
It was more of an instinct reaction as opposed to a rational one. :p

As much as I love Melia, this is one of the best gifs involving her and Shulk. Sums things up quite nicely.



And now a close up..


I'm so terrible

*gigglesnort* I think we can rest easy. The amount of work it would take to fake that...it would have to be a mastermind plot involving a whole lot of people with a whole lot of experience (modding Brawl down to the high-damage smoking effect? Oh please)

That + the pictures of the day showing stuff present in the leaks. There is absolutely no way the leaks are fake imo.

If not Shulk then somebody who looks a lot like him. Maybe an ancestor or something. We still don't know enough about the game to tell.

Here's hoping that this Japan 3ds direct reveals a Smash trailer/direct.

Anyone want to discuss the Gaur plains stage?



As you can see here, Gaur plains is that vast open field field on Bionis Leg that you're on when you first enter.

Since it's a plain, that makes me wonder if it's a walk off stage.

On another note, I think it's more than likely that Territorial Rotbart is a stage hazard.
or maybe it's juju crashing his buggy

Maybe the stage takes place on the Raguel bridge. You can see the nice vista, "mushroom" platforms, lake and waterfall. And maybe Juju can be stage hazard crashing his buggy to the bridge like in the game :troll:

I'm expecting Gaur Plains to be a massive stage with walk offs. Hazards can possibly be mechon , armu or other enemies. Based on the icon I don't think the stage will take place near Raquel Lake. I'd say it'll be the area on that map marked Gaur Plains. Grass environment some hills. Maybe a platform or two

Yeah, i think this sounds really plausible. I have always imagined the Gaur Plains stage to be something like this.

My Raguel bridge suggestion was sarcasm btw, if you're referring to it.

Wait, there are people who still think the leak is fake? I thought we've moved past the denial phase of grief and were on bargaining...

If you pause right here you can pinpoint the exact moment her heart breaks.

So Ninendo is holding a behind closed doors event at Pax that's press only. Supposedly they're showing the final build of the 3DS version. Keep in mind too at Nintendo last closed doors event Pac Man was revealed. Not saying don't get your hopes up but there is precedent.

Raguel Lake has built in platforms, might be a good fit for Smash.

I ship Melia and Shulk, it's a difficult existence.

My life would be complete if Juju's buggy was a stage hazard, but I figure armus and Territorial Rotbart are more likely. Man, Territorial Rotbart will be friggin' terrifying, though. At least for people who have played Xenoblade, just like the Ultimate Chimera in New Pork City got scarier for me after I saw an LP of Mother 3.

Sadly yes, some are still in denial.
I'm not sure if it's so much denial as suspicious about certain aspects. Doesn't help that it seems like others are using the information to forge their own fakes now that the menu schemes match with that particular leak.

It is one thing to be suspicious about small details of the leak or even Duck Hunt (since there is no video footage of them), but Shulk and Bowser Jr. are all but confirmed at this point.

I don't like the idea of stage bosses (Yellow Devil appeared waaay too often in the Mega Man games at E3) but he'd make a fun hazard or boss possibly.

Definitely not arguing about the video footage. Heck the main reason I believe the roster picture in particular is because of the matching information from Shulk from the video footage. I've watched the video enough times to look for anything that might stick out to me as a fake and was able to find anything, so I'm definitely not denying the videos.

It's more how much one trusts the other picture leaks and text leaks that have sprung around it. I have no issue with them all, but it was obviously going to have some major detractors surrounding it just like when Brawl's leak happened.
