Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Cutie Gwen]

Would I ever steer you wrong?

I didn't ****ing recognize it was you lnao.

Also damn this topic is making me think of how different everything would have been done about Snake had he been an Ultimate newcomer and not a Brawl one

Well. That settles that.

wow, a thread of people calling it fake. he really showed those smash nerds

 

[Tako Tuesday]

Ugh, I'm stuck on the 3rd case in Phoenix Wright. Can anyone who's played already maybe give me a hint on how to clear this?

Spoiler

The final day, when Dee Vasquez revises her testimony to say that she knew Jack Hammers was injured, which is why she didn't bring her script to Studio 1.

I'd rather not use a walkthrough, because I feel like a cheater when I do. If someone could give me a hint, that would be nice. I've been stuck for so long!

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

You should've seen Sabi's Discord server. They ****in' jumped on it.

PapaGenos' server was surprisingly more skeptical of it. I'd have expected the reverse, but okay.

 

[Nekoo]

You didn't see Sabi's public discord then.

Well. That settles that.

That fast?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

That fast?

Yes. That fast.

Welcome to speculation.

 

[UberPyro64]

There's something off about the voice acting and the script I find. You think a reveal like this would have more of a lead-up. That's why I'm having trouble buying it.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Nono you see, some guy who used to be on that public server said Verge is lying so it must be true!

Rule 1 about Ace Attorney. Check every last detail. Does she talk about steak? Cause that ****ed me up when I first did that case

 

[GKMLTTSB]

I kind of expect that if there is a TGA reveal, it may go along with another announcement this time.
Sakura + Sakura Wars Collection or Shin Sakura Taisen for Switch
MS character + Rare Replay on Switch
etc.

It never really needed to be a 'big' character anyway, IMO, but if people expect greater gravity to follow the next fighter reveal, that's a good way to up the impact.

Best thing you could spend $45 on outside of literally anything else.

Seriously?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

One thing I'd like to note that if that was real and Mario taunting wasn't him teabagging, what would have been the point? Just cancel the game at that point

Imagine spending $45 to do this.

Welp, that does mean the leak is fake.

Monsun, you sunnuva *****.

Women first.

You know what game people are speculating is going to show up at TGAs?

Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind.

 

[Izanagi97]

So I'm guessing the audio in the tweet and the 4chan post are the same thing? Didn't know it turned out to be the result of some loser wasting $45 to prank a bunch of desperate speculators

 

[SneakyLink]

Grinch leak person: Hold my money

 

[Ben Holt]

In my opinion, here are the truly internet breakers. Mind you for all different kinds of reasons:

Kratos (Sony IP, having all the gaming giants in one game, extremely popular, etc etc)
Chief (The Boogeyman of Smash. Often cited in jest when speculating. Seen largely as being impossible)
Crash (One of those platformining icons and an early post-Sonic rival to the Mario series)
Heihachi (Would send waves throughout the FGC and having the three most influential fighting games under one roof would be extraordinary (though T7 already does but it’s Akuma and Geese))
Lara (Sony icon but legendary in her own right. The salt and hype was be crazy)
Goku (Just cause it’s Goku)
Sora (Sora’s inclusion would throw away all the preconditioned notions of IP rights and such - especially if Disney content is added. I can see the internet having a heyday with Disney content in Smash)
Fortnight (Cause it’s Fortnight)

Yea, pretty much. Except Goku. Sakurai name dropped him just to say that it's never gonna happen.
Sakurai would sooner strip at his local bar if he were desperate enough for money to add Goku into Smash.

 

[UberPyro64]

Monsun, you sunnuva *****.

Apparently Monsun didn't make it and is just trying to take credit for it. But it's still suspect regardless.

 

[StormC]

How much money do you think mariotehplumber spent to make the Grinch Leak?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Imagine spending $45 to do this.

I mean, there's that one dude who made the Grinch stuff and Google Theory, this is nothing new tbh

 

[Izanagi97]

I mean, there's that one dude who made the Grinch stuff and Google Theory, this is nothing new tbh

Not to mention I'm pretty sure some of the stuff involved there might have been illegal

Would need a voiced taunt for the true Halo experience.
"Hey you little a-green sack-a the ****! Mario slept-a with-a you momma last-a night!"

Probably with more cursing.

 

[Deleted member]

So you're telling me that it is probably fake, though he isn't the one to be credited for?

 

[UberPyro64]

So you're telling me that it is probably fake, though he isn't the one to be credited for?

Basically, yeah. I mean I don't know for sure if it's fake, but that's what I'm thinking.

 

[N3ON]

People raising other examples like it's still not ridiculous to spend money on this kinda stuff.

 

[Deleted member]

There isn't enough evidence to dogpile on this leak.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Ive been to the local bar Sakurai goes to. When he gets plastered, he often takes request for Smash characters.

 

[StormC]

Did you spend money on this? I won't tell anybody. It'll be our little secret.

 

[Deleted member]

Mind if I can ask where this bar is, and then leave a note for him at his favorite seat, saying they should add Rex, Pyra, and Mythra as playable.

Nope. She talked about steak earlier but not this time.

Speculation right now FEELS like a drinking game.

 

[N3ON]

Pfft, of course not.

But on a completely unrelated note, I wouldn't suggest commissioning a fake mural any time soon, they don't come cheap.

I don't see why Heihachi, Crash or Lara would be internet breaking. They all seem quite possible at this point.

Speculation right now FEELS like a drinking game.

Take a shot every time a character is thoroughly discussed.
Take two shots if said character is deconfirmed.
Finish your drink if it didn't last an entire week.
Finish two bottles if said character was a frontrunner, yet took an ample amount of time to deconfirm.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Nope. She talked about steak earlier but not this time.

Then please write out the new testimony and the new part of it. Maybe the list of evidence too

People raising other examples like it's still not ridiculous to spend money on this kinda stuff.

It's like how Sonic 06 made people think Secret Rings was good, I'm used to worse lol

 

[Deleted member]

So what's the final verdict? Fake? Real?

 

[Hexodus]

Well, that was over fast.

Hopefully we get the reveal at TGA. I don't need it to enjoy the game, but it'd be a little nice to know the full contents of the fighter's pass by the time I get my hands on a copy of Ultimate this Christmas. And also I'm not sure how people are going to feel if the reveal is a month or two from now and the more reliable leakers keep silent that whole time. Bad, probably.

 

[Jomosensual]

I want Master Chief but that's clearly fake. IDK how or why someone would only have the audio and I'm pretty sure I hear crowd noise early on.

I had to take drinks even for my Falcom characters of Adol and Rean, I never thought they'd be discussed more than me making them a thread and the deconfirmation happened.

Long as more people discuss them i'm happy to take those drinks though lmao.
