Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Deleted member]

I signed up for Smash speculation, not leaker celebrity gossip

Please, this isn't Drama Alert

All the leakers know that Fighter 5 is Keemstar, and this is how they're teasing him.

 

[TheCJBrine]

If leakers didn’t want to retire, they should’ve found a real job instead of trying to be part of that horrid insider community.

Anyway, do main directs usually happen in the same month as/a few weeks after an indie direct?

 

[XorahnGaia]

I wanted to take this opportunity to clear another person's name. Krono on Gamefaqs was accused of the Seven Squares and basically just begrudgingly accepted it because of Vergeben and Sabi's blossoming efame. As you all know, it caused a number of people to lose their jobs and more or less lead Hitagi and Xenother to retire. Krono was innocent and, like Paragon, the community owes him an apology:

Are you saying that the "Paragon leak" was something that Sabi and/or Verge fabricated to ruin his reputation?

If all you're gonna do with this is guilt trip people, you should leave. Sabi's the villain here who's actually screwing people over, remember?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well no matter what there's a Sony and a Nindie Direct tomorrow so we won't hit another lull in stuff to talk about.

Though that might be what we need right now given the tension.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah you’re right, I’m thinking I got my robohuman terms mixed up. Fixed it right after I posted. Good catch

Fun nerd fact: That's why Androids 17 and 18 in DBZ are called 'C17' and 'C18' in Japan, because they're cyborgs and not Androids. The Androids was a mistranslation.

 

[Fatmanonice]

"retire" lol

this **** lame my dude

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't aware exposing fraud was "lame" or would you prefer to go back to "Guess Who" based on the e-celeb you all claim to resent? Didn't realize people losing their jobs was so "trivial" and people responsible for this were honestly meant to be held in high esteem despite all the infighting it's caused in the last year.

 

[Droodle]

Just backing up Sabi's reply, the original poster seems to ignore the fact that both Banjo and Donkey Kong are technically in the same world due to Banjo's cameos.

So I don't think people can use "KOS-MOS isn't a new world" as an excuse. When Banjo technically also does that.

Personally, I am hopeful of her chances; but I'm still taking it with a huge spoonful of salt.

Imagine thinking that illegally leaking private company information to a large group of angry, fairly vitriolic manchildren wouldn't lead to you or your associates getting ****ed.

 

[ZevBenjamin]

Its lookin like KOS-MOS at the VGAs. The codename leak seems pretty legit.

what codename leak?

sir this is a children's party game speculation thread

 

[Fatmanonice]

The point is to clear someone's name who was "cancelled" by the community and, again, was blamed for one of the biggest Smash scandals in the past year.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Heh looks like something has happened in my absence. Been cleaning the house then played with my dogs.

So if I'm hearing correctly there's evidence leaning towards KOS-MOS' inclusion?

 

[TheCJBrine]

Are you implying that the "Paragon leak"was something Sabi fabricated?

Sabi didn’t fabricate it, but he did accuse Paragon of trying to mock his C&D situation despite Paragon claiming to have a C&D before Sabi. Sabi has apparently blackmailed people, too, including his NoA source.

Heh, Sabi goes from seeming cool and nice, to being full of himself, and now this crap.

 

[Opossum]

I've legit never heard of Krono until now. I fail to see how he was "cancelled."

And not to minimod but this really isn't the place for this after the mods told you to stop in the Geno thread.

 

[JustMyself13]

Again, we didn’t cancel anyone. We are not the entire community. We don’t care about leaker drama. This is the Newcomer Speculation thread. All we do is s**tpost about Kasumi and Baboom and Darth Vader.

The screenshots aren't working for me so I don't know what's being said, but I remember that incident during the Erdrick debates. Why did he just accept it?

 

[Deleted member]

Sabi goes from seeming cool and nice

I dunno, breaking NDA isn't exactly what I'd call "nice."

 

[Fatmanonice]

Okay, where should I go with it? I don't have Twitter and multiple people including Venus of the Desert Bloom asked me not to put it in the Geno thread. Honest question: where would I go with this? A simple suggestion and I'll bounce or even request posts to be moved.

Idk, they seemed nice last year/earlier this year, before they became this famous leaker in the community.

Don't do it.

"Evidence" is not the term I would use. Just some odd stuff coming from Verge.

Go make a Twitter then.

That's what I honestly don't know, I'm afraid. I just feel this isn't the place for it, at any rate... but I don't really know what is.

I swear to god if there is a Photoshop Babumivader out there in the wild

Verge said their source said “not sure” in relation to KOS-MOS, which just sounds like he’s trying to cover himself if the text leak is real.

 

[AngrySun88]

Remember when the speculation community was about actual speculation and fans discussing characters they wanted instead of leaker culture and wannabe "insiders" trying to create drama? Good times.

Gentlepanda get on it.

Does make for good reading material

Twitter's garbage if any of this e-celeb stuff has been case and point for that.

 

[yeet123]

what codename leak?

there was a leak last month that got a few things (albeit fairly easy things) correct about Direct dates, BUT it had Banjo's dev codename ("Buddy") which would be incredibly hard to know at the time.

It said KOS-MOS was fighter #5.

If you believe Vergeben, KOS-MOS would be off the table.

[Garteam]

sony out here joining the nintendo/xbox party

makes you think

I honestly feel like this is being super underplayed.

A Sony character just became much more likely.

Did it have Terry as "Dolly"? Because, in my opinion, that'd be a lot more impressive than guessing Banjo would be codenamed "Buddy".

Nintendo (as far as I know) seem to be doing a really good job keeping this fighter under wraps for people to keep on arguing for attention like this, lol.

 

[Ovaltine]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Ssssooooo, since some people in here like my art, I figured we could do with something a little different

Hope my boy makes it and that your favorites make it, too

 

[Sysreq]

Maybe something's changed since I went to bed last night, but someone admitted that they made the drunk cat leak that piggy backed off of the codename leak yesterday, which would kill it.

I know there's that other TGA leak, but I find it pretty shaky. I'm actually leaning towards KOS-MOS not being FP5, despite wanting her. If I get BTFO I don't really care since I win either way lol

Their PlayStation division also took part in that Smash tournament from Famitsu.

Those are separate 4chan posts, and the KOS-MOS one is highly likely to be a copycat.

 

[Night Gale]

I can count the amount of f***s I give for KOS-MOS on one hand. Hell, Shion is more interesting. However, if there's a small chance that KOS-MOS is the next character, then that means that the best Xenosaga character can be in as an echo, color, or costume swap.
