Just what we already know. Zippo says two directs. Doesn't know the dates, but thinks Animal Crossing is the 20th. Literally just a direct translation of Zippo's post, more or less.
I want it to be true as unlikely as it seems. All I want to know what to expect for 2020 please Nintendo.
He could be piggybacking for all we know.
1988: Ryu Hayabusa
I assume he knows stuff because Sabi piggybacks him.
You know I've been thinking about this. What if Sakurai made a completely original character for the Super Smash Bros series and was like birthed from the defeat of Galeem and Dharkon? That'd be kind of cool if it was like one of the DLC characters and it gets like Galeem and Dharkon powers. I'd like to see that.
The guy's source(s) were apparently verified by ResetEra mods, a site that's notoriously harsh when it comes to fake leaks (perma bans iirc). Said moderators also have their own proven sources, and are known to tease the odd thing here and there, so they should know if a contact is legit or not.
To be fair, ResetEra at this point has lost virtually any means of verifying if someone in the industry is legit or not. Zhuge and Emily Rogers are gone, so assuming Zippo is legit, he would have had to be verified before that.

If memory serves, he went back on that statement after a while. Still before the actual reveal, mind you.
I don’t think I caught that. Then again I don’t really trust Zippo so I haven’t been paying attention to his ‘leaks’ and I’m fairly certain he did then try to apply to Byleth to it. If he withdrew his leak and then tried to apply Byleth to the leak he claimed false then it wouldn’t look good on a budding ‘leakers’ track record.
I just wanna see FP6 first so I can judge on the direction Sakurai will take the pass.
If Zippo really didn’t withdraw this stuff about fighter 5 being similar to bayonetta then it’s probably better to trust mandycan than him. At least can hasn’t got anything wrong thus far and I am fully aware of the twitter trick btw
Thing is given the whole "Vergeben Sucks" makes it hard to take him seriously and for all we know he could be piggybacking on other sources.
And what a good bias. We don't deserve Palutena.
To be fair I don't trust Vergeben during the entire FP5 cycle, but it seems I got his trust back.
Same here. He may had gotten faulty information and gotten some stuff wrong but he's a very reliable source.
But would you rather trust someone with a seemingly spotless track record who has a particular distaste to say the least for another leaker or a leaker who came out of nowhere, hasnt really leaked anything, if memory recalls correctly is ridiculously cryptic with leaks and has made a leak, had it semi debunked but instead used the character that was announced as a door stop to shoehorn in why they really were right about their hint which was probably fake in the first place? Not that I trust any of them but I’d rather trust Mandy than Zippo
Keeping expectations low because again MandyCan could be piggyback riding.
I never actually said I trusted Mandycan though. All I’m saying is if you don’t trust mandycan you shouldn’t really trust Zippo. And anyway the reason mandycan could be fake has absolutely nothing to do with piggybacking it’s just because they could have done the Twitter trick
Or he could have just kept himself obscure, made a bunch of predictions and then made his account known once he picked and chosen which predictions he made right.
But I literally pointed that out. That is the twitter trick
And this is why I call them the higher-ups. They're just a step ahead of everyone else.
Yep Vergeben predicted Everyone coming back, Ridley, Belmonts, Ken, Incineroar and such.
1998 - Wood Man (Megaman 2)
Has IAmShifty said anything since Hayabusa?
Don't recall to my knowledge.
Nope. I’m also fairly certain they were wrong about Hayabusa since they backed him coming before 2020 but nothing materialised so even that throws into question whether you can trust shifty
I still say he's worth keeping an eye on again he predicted Piranha Plant and Dracula and Marx as bosses.
