Have people at least stopped having any confidence in the Cacomallow costume "leak"? Because in my mind there's no conceivable way that those assets would have been made that far in advance and still not have been released by now.
It has thumbs up Ken. There is no conceivable way it could be faked.

If it's not dead now, it's definitely on life support. There's making things in advance, and making thing a full year in advance; Especially considering how we already have a Bethesda Mii that isn't Cacodemon. If CP7 swings around and we don't have either, we're pulling the plug.

Some Geno fans seem to still have hope, something about things being made way in advance? At least, that's what I got.

By the way, was somebody on this thread a Filia supporter? I doubt this affects anything, but I figured they would enjoy this.

https://mobile.twitter.com/sgmobile/status/1294347711983030276 (I think there might have been some mild language, but I couldn't tell).

Don't worry, it's coming to console too.
That's a surprise; I got Skullgirls recently and the roster didn't seem to have changed much from when I played it a while ago, so I thought that development was done on it.

Can you show me picture on who they are?
Sakura's from Sakura Wars and Chosen Undead is the Dark Souls player character. Sakura wears traditional Japanese garb. Chosen Undead is usually depicted wearing full-plate European armor, though they can be in robes or leather armor instead. Not a picture exactly, but that's where they're from.

Nate also mentioned the funny 28 number. I'm not complaining since they're saying info but why is it only Nintendo insiders that play 5D chess when giving out info? No other leaker I've seen does this from any other community.


Anyways here's a pic a friend sent me that summarizes what they're hinting at:

Can't wait for their responses if they're WRONG again.

I really hate leakers, so for them to be wrong again would be so great and make people realize that they're in it for the ego.
I understand, and in a way, I have to agree. They always seemed to be unnecessarily seeking attention, mainly by using their sources and maybe by abusing their power by saying things they are not supposed to. They should get caught and learn not to do that again for that reason.

Unpopular Opinion: if someone is in the leak game and regularly leaks stuff, they're probably not a good person.

I can see enough to even agree some. I also think it is unfair that they have access to information that others do not.

I can't help sense if we were on a reliable Direct schedule again the flood of "leaks" would be somewhat lessened. At the least circa two years ago you knew you'd roughly get one in Feb/March, June, & September. Now the speculators basically treat every week as free real estate to peddle rumors about presentations.
Any "leaks" about certain characters kills me man. Like any time I see something about Crash, they tighten my heart. I want to believe

I would be shocked if we DIDN'T get Crash. He seems like Ken in that it such an obvious pick that it would be weird if they didnt go all in with it.

I think I am missing something, but first, they, the leakers say something about something happening between the 11th and the 22nd. Then they say there will be an Indie Direct on the 17th and a General Direct or something else on the 24th. And now a General Direct on the 28th? Unless I am wrong about something, what is going on here?

Eh...nothing really seems as obvious for Crash as "they're advertising clones as a feature and this one character's got an iconic clone".

Who cares if she's a villain? She's still the face of the series. Between Minmin and Pirahna Plant there should be no problem going with her - assuming Sega even wants to push Valkyria Chronicles.
Not to mention, many people when discussing Tekken and Soul Calibur, tended to shift more towards Heihachi and Nightmare, as opposed to Jin, Kazuya or Siegfried, despite being in the more traditional protagonist role. Granted the Mishimas have shifted roles a decent bit, but Jin was usually the "least evil" of the bunch.

I'm sure it'll be the exception and not the rule, but like you mentioned, we've seen stuff like this already.

has verge said anythign since the lol rumor?
Afaik, he hasn’t said anything about Smash. He said some stuff about some other games a couple months ago but after that I haven’t seen much from him.

People said the same thing about Shadow & a RE character too. Crash is one of my most wanted characters but I’m not putting too much faith in almost any character*, this hype train’s been too wild to make any 100% certain predictions.

*My sole exception being Rex, who I don’t even want. He seems so likely IMO.

Well, if Mega Man X was playable, I must ask: What weapons would he have in his moveset?

I've stated my stance on leaks before but in a nutshell

If Wrong:
Generates hype for something that isn't true, especially since the content leaked is often times much better than reality.
ex. Every Fake Pokemon Roster leak ever

If Right:
Ruins the surprise especially for something that would've been an out of left field reveal.
ex. Ryu in Smash 4 ****er was leaked twice for pete's sake

Just remember that after the fact, once the content is revealed and eventually released the fact that it was leaked is moot, but at least I'd like to be more excited about it during the intended reveal as opposed to expecting/waiting for it's reveal weeks/months in advance.

Yeah, either would be the case. Though wasn't it Nintendo who kinda slipped up on the Ryu in Smash 4 part?

I mean it was 'technically' their fault, but it was dataminers that uncovered it by rooting around the game's files.

A leak is still a leak though, doesn't really matter who leaked it.
