Isn't this coming from the man who likes to **** on other peoples characters? Honestly, as a man who supports multiple potential newcomers, I found way more support for actual discussion here rather than being told my character sucks on a daily basis because it isn't Geno.

There are some cool people in the Geno thread, but you're showing me why I avoid that place.
That's an awful lot of assumptions man. I'm in multiple threads, Geno just happens to be the one i visit most because it's more lively, is my top priority, and is the one i have gotten to know the most.

Hey folks. Anyone have any speculation as to what the heck this development means?



Check for yourself on both of the official playlists if you don't believe me:
There used to be only two private videos on the playlists. Now... there are three. Hmmm.
One of them is definitely a trailer, we getting something in the game awards, boys and gals, I can feel it.

Didn't the aforementioned 5-page ****post extravaganza start not too long after one of the mods (Desert Bloom, I think) made a post here specifically saying to not post memes?
The board is weird as ****. I get a harassment warning for getting pissed off at Twitter guy using obnoxious laughing images when my anger amounts to wanting him to come off as a jackass. However, we have posters around who actually have targeted me with edits and act like I’m in denial because some now-iffy leaker apparently has the word of god. It actually feels like an internet parody brought to life.

Okay my bad. You don't **** on other characters who aren't Geno. You **** on characters who you don't want. Glad we cleared that up.

If you want him to come off as a jackass that's just inciting and harassment. :4jigglypuff:

They're memeing it up to be the word of god because of your exaggerations. This is quite literally your fault if I must say.

You know geno is owned by square right?
Also if they were to add him without square problems then what I think is that they would at least put geno in his own series to avoid problems so It’ll be smrpg instead of super mario. And of course it will keep the new worlds thing going and add in a few more 3rd party spirit upgrades like shantae and rayman so if any series giving geno his own series is the way to go to avoid square problems

and one more thing. That plantman twitter account you just trashed on, that was mine. That ain’t cool man.
I hope Kosmos is real so that stupid plant guy looks like a complete jackass. I know it’s petty, but **** this is obnoxious as hell.

Phoenix wright: Court record and evidence collecting (Like MVC3)

Sora: Keyblade transformations and flowmotion
You know, as someone who doesn't think Sora has an amazing chance as character 5. I kinda hope that even if they go with KH3 Sora, they at least use the Session limit from KH2.


To me it feels like the perfect Final Smash for Sora. Obviously, they'd need to speed it up, but if they manage to pull it off; it would definitely be one of the flashiest final smash in Smash.

Really? It sounds like to me that people are actually sensitive and really stupid at the same time. There were memes about Projared being a rapist or an absolute asshole of a asshole, which were total bull****. There is big difference to desire a outcome that’s not even bad and bullying.

My viewpoint is Corrin was either going to be Smash 4 DLC or was going to be an Ultimate newcomer, so if you want to think about it that way at least this way Corrin didn't "steal a slot" in Ultimate. It was bad timing but after we got an entire game catered to the fans' wishes, I'm not going to lose sleep over what I perceive to be a misfire. I was upset at the inclusion back then too but I can't conjure up enough energy to be upset anymore.

That said, if I was going for a shill pick to promote a 2015 Nintendo game, I would have picked Elma. I'm just saying!



4 years
This post might be late, but for the record...I'm glad we got Corrin, they were actually my most wanted back in Smash 4 (back when I knew them as Kamui (still the better name by far)), and I still enjoy them. Lucina, and Palutena were also on my most wanted list.

my guess:

Sora will be the new fighter in conjunction with Geno, Chocobo, chrono trigger, Neku, Roxas and 2B mii costumes.

Far from Smash
The music he'd bring is also much easier to negotiate for since Yoko Shimomura is already on the Smash composer team and she doesn't demand ridiculous prices.
This is something I wish we could get legitimate clarification on.

I've only ever heard anecdotally that Uematsu in any way owns the rights to some of the music he's composed for Final Fantasy; I have not seen proof of this, nor of this being the norm at SE.
Sugiyama is known to be a special case due to the way the rights to Dragon Quest were originally worked out. The orchestrated vs. MIDI thing the series deals with should indicate just how weird the agreements are...

So, it could very well be SE that's the impediment, at which point the composer doesn't matter. We'll only really know if someone actually comes out and states what the issue is.

You know geno is owned by square right?
Also if they were to add him without square problems then what I think is that they would at least put geno in his own series to avoid problems so It’ll be smrpg instead of super mario.
Ooh. Can the series icon be a star?
That would be fresh.

No you're just being pretty rude.

His redemption arc is justified but no one in that incident was entirely innocent. Not by a long shot. But that's just how petty drama is.

In all seriousness, i really miss trophies. Collecting them was just as fun as playing the game.
This man's preaching the ****ing truth.

I know he has probably nothing going for him, but how would y'all feel about Maxwell from Scribblenauts? It got it's start on the DS and was fairly popular back then, and it's a running series that can be found on pretty much and console including mobile device as well. I think he could be a really fun character in Smash since he literally can summon anything.

You guy's are everything wrong with this community. Maybe we wouldn't need to form "echo chambers" if you all weren't ****ing assholes.
The drama that started from your thread didn't come from over here, it came from GameFAQs! So, you are already blaming and going off on the wrong set of people, on the wrong site! If you want to take it up with some people that caused the drama, go over to GameFAQs and make an account and defend your guy. Yeah, we have some opinions on Fatman, but we don't care that much to start drama over on another thread for no reason.

Heck, these past couple pages on here has been nothing but sh*tposts! So, take it up with GameFAQs, don't be scolding AT US when we could care less about what goes on over there!

Oooh, oooh, what about Agnes from Bravely but the accent on her name is messed up for the fifth time?

I'll be frank, I don't like Corrin as a character (in Fire Emblem) and I hate Fates. But Corrin in Smash is pretty cool; I don't get how people can argue that a dragon-sword hybrid character is just another "Generic anime swordsman"; especially when Smash makes both aspects of them clear.

I wanted Elma more then Corrin, and I would still take her over Corrin any day; but I'm not going to be salty about a characters inclusion 5 years later. The people who still take the Corrin and "generic anime swordsman" meme seriously need to grow up.

Yeah that would be a perfect final smash.

I feel like if Sora does get it it'll definitely be his KH3 version, if they use his KH1 or 2 versions he wouldn't be all that different from characters already on the roster but his KH3 moveset gives him stuff to make him a bit more unique, such as the flowmotion attacks and Keyblade transformations. Plus he can summon amusement park rides. He'd potentially be more broken than Sm4sh Bayo. Lol

I understand why the development team didn't put them but it still feels wrong to take them out. I just hope this doesn't set a precedent for future Smash entries where trophies never come back.

Can we just ignore the flame and go back to character speculation? This is the only thing I'll say about all what's happening. I don't want this thread nor the Geno thread to be locked, so please stop.

Don't quote/reply to this part of the post, I don't want to continue this discussion.

-----------------------------

I was thinking... do you remember that Japanese guy who "leaked" that female character from a fighting game with a "flying weapon"?

I'm thinking that maybe it was a legit leak... I'll explain.

Probably a friend of that person is really an insider, and knew that the next fighter was going to be Terry.
That person probably told the name of the character and a small description to the "leaker", and that person had no idea of who the character was.

Terry is both a male and female name, so maybe he was told "Terry from Fatal Fury, a fighting game", and he revealed it on twitter.
When he got all the attention, he came up with the "flying weapon" thing and all those lies to make it look like a fake leak, probably to protect his friend from being found and fired.

Just a theory... I said this because I once was told by "a friend of a friend" (but I also know that person even if I rarely see it) who works for a toy company, what the next line of collectable figures of a famous series (I don't want to say the name, though it was nothing directly related to Smash nor Nintendo) were about, before any official announcement.

I could have leaked it, even if I have 0 interest in that series and I don't know much about them aside that they exist; but I didn't in respect to that person, because I know the risks.

It was an identical situation to my theory about the "female character" leak with the exception that I didn't leak it; so it's totally possible IMO.
Not saying that it was 100% legit, but I think there is a chance that part of it was real.

Trophies were one of my favorite things when playing Brawl as a kid. Going through the Trophy Gallery was like taking a trip through a museum dedicated to Nintendo games. I'd spend good chunks of playtime in that shooter minigame trying to collect new Trophies.

I get why they were cut for Ultimate, but couldn't the Fighter Spirits at least have some sort of flavor description?

I just miss the descriptions. If Spirits at least had flavor text beyond who the character is and what game they're from, I'd feel the absence of Trophies a lot less. Granted, all the translation work for that would be immense.

I’m rude, but I actually am smart enough to comprehend actual harassment. I been through it, seen it in many forms, and could determine the degree of it. People avoiding getting punished for harassment with memes is a ****ing problem.

,,,Did something happen while I was away?

Seems things are a little...tense.
Basically someone on Gamefaqs called out Fatman in the Geno thread, and then the Geno thread got upset at the Newcomer thread for talking about the drama.

So really nothing at all, better to just ignore it and move on.

I don't know how accurate or well written the descriptions of the spirits are, but there is a website that gave every single spirits a description

Doesn't replace having it in game, but it's cool and I appreciate the effort that went into it.

Trophies were a lot cooler when there was less stuff well documented and you were discovering characters, games, and entire franchises for the first time... but honestly, by Smash 4, they just didn't have the same charm anymore and they were being gate kept behind so much annoying stuff (God Smash for Wii U loved to make so many of its features nigh impossible to access if you didn't grind for hours upon hours). Honestly, it just doesn't bother me that we moved to Spirits since I especially love seeing the Spirit battles and getting the little references.

Projared is not a member here, and attacking or defending him is not an excuse to be an ***hole to other forum members.

Probably. You know who that isn't a problem for? Anyone whose default mood isn't being an ass.

Trophies remind of me of why fighting games don't use sprites anymore: way too much resources go into them and a good chunk of people aren't aware of it.

Saw the thread jump 15 pages in 7 hours so I figured something happened lol.
We all gone mad waiting for DLC Fighter 5. Also the smell of Fatman was here.

If you're so high IQ then use some of those points to realize that being rude in general is a problem. :nifty:

You don't know Smashboards very well, do you? ****posters get annihilated eventually. Ask @punished faygo
