If a new Smash game or port be announced, will Smashboards allow us to revive the Leaks group?
Oh... the good old days of debunking photoshop and "I have a uncle who works at Nintendo"

I legitimately remember that Palutena leak that some people still think was the real deal.

And how Toucan Sam was actually one of the better made leaks despite obviously not a thing that was gonna happen.

Good times. Good times.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Well...

STOP WATCHING US, DOLLAR BILL DUDE!!!!

If there's no 3DS redo when the Switch port happens or does not happen.

The leaks will be easier to tell fakes I'd believe. So many of the ''good" fake leaks were based around the 3DS.

It was just much simpler for the leak makers.

Granted....Rayman. Rayman was hella hella believable.

I saw this on my Facebook feed and I'm NOT SURE whether this is real or not.
I hope and think it isn't, but I'll leave it here to see if anyone can confirm it because I'm getting really tired of what this started

I will say this.

If this is their theory, then they aren't very good listeners.

One does not order green tea with sugar.

Sugar is for cheap green tea


Or honey, which is a better sweetener

 

[Wario Bros.]

What do we have here?

That's not even the point but I agree.

A idiotic looking controller.

 

[Deleted member]

Well it makes sense to me. You bought the game, but they made it, and they can do what they want with the maps and modes

If you bought a pack of chips, wouod you like to be forced to eat it in a specific way?
The customer should have the right to use what they bought, with their money, in whatever way they want

 

[Coricus]

Yeaaaah it's not as terrible as a lot of Pokemon stuff is but the Splatoon Comfort Grip easily looks better and since you already own a non-charging grip by default the money's probably better put towards a chunk of the price of a Pro Controller.

I've heard someone grumble about the Splatoon 2 Pro not having this kind of design before, but I'm a lot happier with what it has than something like this.

Upon a reasonably creditable rumor coming out, we would probably create a heavily rule based* general thread and go from there. The Leaks Group was originally suggested to BluePikmin by the Staff because previous leak threads were toxic cesspools that we no longer wanted to directly deal with.

*Ex. Posting stuff from 4chan or bad photoshops would lead to spam infractions in most cases.

 

[Ura]

If nothing else Smash speculation should be fun this time round. I've tempered my expectations very dramatically since the DLC days.

Speculating who the next character could be is always interesting even if some of them are obvious (Inklings, an ARMS character, etc).

"in whatever way they want"

 

[Opossum]

They really missed an opportunity to make the grip pure red and then release Joycons that are blue with yellow circles on the bottom.


Then the Joycons in the grip would look like Mario's shirt and overalls.

 

[New_Dumal]

I remember that I posted on the Leaks group, about D.Hunt/Shulk/Bowser Jr.
last leak :

"Are you guys really believing this because he preddicted a Bowser alter-color? Bowser Jr. in a vehicle? Duck Hunt? Ok... I was always on the side who likes to believe, but this is going too far"
----
After Cloud happened, Mickey would not surprise me anymore.

You're just being obtuse here. That obviously isnt what was meant.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Honestly, a fake leak about Shovel Knight with a Runbow stage is the very reason I'm here in the Nintenzone Social.

Gewd times.

I was here as I told Fumi about an unused sword texture for Prince Sable and he tagged me here

 

[Opossum]

Not gonna lie, the fact that Salmon Run is arbitrarily time locked killed most of my interest in buying Splatoon 2, since it looked like a really fun mode.

Hearing their justification for it only cements my opinion, which is a shame.

Mark my words: Smash 6 will have Goku; the Saiyan one, not the monkey oversued one.

WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT GOKU??

Why not Vegeta instead? Huh?! HUH?!!

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Cloud and Bayonetta did really change the third party game a bit at least. Mostly Bayo though.

Cloud was shocking purely because people think of Sony when they think of him, but that was already a thing with Solid Snake.

Bayonetta however was the first case of someone being more of a cult third party lesser known character getting in.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I dont even remember why I came to the leaks group it was so long ago. Im pretty sure it was for Gematsu or something? I know I asked for an invite from BluePikmin August 16th. . .2014


Oh how time slips away. :X

WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT GOKU??

Gohan with Great Saiyaman alt or bust

We still have no idea how much of an exception to the rule she is by being a ballot character

This is the only Goku that should be in Smash Bros.

<Channels Shishoe>: DAMMIT OPO


Phoenix will be in Smash 5 btw

 

[Wario Bros.]

Go play Super Smash Flash 2 if you want Goku

 

[Schnee117]

Halo 5 get's **** for moving playlists around frequently and for Mythic Firefight (aka one of the best ways to gain levels and REQs) being time locked.

But say Splatoon should let people play on the maps and modes they want when they want and that's no good.

*sigh*

Phoenix will be in Smash 5 btw

But he's not in Smash Wii U

 

[Coricus]

What I find interesting is how it ended up being pointed out that the tea maker actually did have a point about the tea not needing sugar but at the same time the conversation steers into comparisons that end up feeling more like strawmen than actual arguments.

They aren't restricting Salmon Run to arbitrarily take away your toys. Whatever reasoning was involved clearly had at least some kind of research as to the effects of leaving it up constantly versus setting up time frames that no consumer would listen to regardless of any actual legitimacy, I highly doubt there's some cackling madman sitting in their fortress of evil reveling in the tears of Splatoon players. Hence they feel the comparison between the tea maker and Nintendo is accurate.

Whether or not that was actually well thought out is something that can be approached over time. I know whoever's in charge isn't even remotely as smug as the Frenchman came off or they wouldn't have upped the schedule from 12 hour intervals to 24 hour intervals in the first place. They know they aren't flawless, if they keep insisting on it they must have something they tested out that makes them worry what would happen if it was running constantly. Whether or not they had reason to worry about it is another thing entirely, but I highly doubt they're sticking to their guns just for the sake of being stubborn.

*EDIT* It's valid to have complaints, it's just almost definitely not meant personally and thus not worth treating as a personal insult.

*EDIT 2* Clearly both sides of the argument started getting strawmen since I started typing. If we keep using emotionally charged hyperbole there's never actually going to be any room for debate.

 

[AreJay25]

Clearly, we need Cell over Goku. Who else is going to challenge Dedede's perfection?

I walked out into the living room and Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries was playing and I heard Sylvester say,

"Now where did that walking advertisement for Slim-quick disappear to?"

And I instinctively said, "**** off".

 

[Deleted member]

No, he's not talking about the supposed boxart leak

He's talking about that 4chan TEXT leak
We really are back to the pre-release Smash period if people are making whole videos on text leaks


Also, I think I got into the leaks group because I was following the official Leaks thread, which then got completely closed after E3 2014.
I think I joined the leak discussion sometime after the Smash Direct, before that, I was just on general speculation and character support threads.
Between E3 2014 and the July reveal, most users seemed either bored or indifferent towards leaks since Gematsu was God and if you didn't suck on its **** you were wrong. All leaks were either fake becayse they were piggybacking Gematsu or fake because they didn't have Shulk and the Chorus Kids.
Robin ressurrected discussiin in such a way that hadn't been seen for a long time, and oh boy, there were some good ones.
I wish we still had access to the group because I remember a guy who made a thread on it who said Chrom wasn't playable and Lucina was a Marth costume and ALMOST EVERYONE jumped ship after July 14th and it somehow remained alive while fighting with Neo's leak for credibility(the former had Ridley in it so guess what everyone wanted to believe?).

I mostly remained as a lurker though, mainly because I was only on my phone most of the time and it was a Nokia one who could barely load Smashboards and there was literally no way for me to post.

Other highlights include the reveal that the Palutena leak, THE Leak for most of pre-release, was fake. This also happened in the middle of the whole ESRB leak so many didn't even understand what was going on(thanfully, the SSB Wiki lists it as fake in their Rumors page so I hope there isn't a poor soul who thought it was real all along)

Is...is that the text leak that @APC99 admitted to making? Haven't watched the video.

Eating a bag of chips in your own way is way different then buying a game that was made by people of a different culture then ya. Wtf is wrong with you

Yuo, it is.
It's not even the issue of him being late but goddamnit it's a ****ing text leak

First, no other Japanese games forces limitations like this, so the cultural reasoning is bull****.
Second, if I wanna eat my sushi with a fork, then I'll eat the damn sushi with a fork and no one can or has the right to stop me. The sushi is mine now, I don't care how you intended it to be eaten.

And once the product is in the consumer's hands, it's theirs. The company shouldn't further dictate how or when they're allowed to play a product they payed for. Splatfests are one thing; they're a notable event that makes itself different each time. There's nothing stopping Salmon Run from being a regular mode beyond backwards corporate restrictions and resistance to change.

Please don't be an apologist for bad business practices and anticonsumerism.

The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, huh? If no one minds, I have 2 questions:

1. The show's rerunning on Cartoon Network, right? I haven't been hearing that wrong?

2. Does anyone think Kids' WB (the Warner Bros. Television children's block where Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries first aired) will get a mention this year by Warner Bros.? I mean, its 22nd anniversary was 4 days ago. Which was ON A SATURDAY.

cant move a goal post farther than where they start when they are exactly on opposite ends of the earth my dude

or did they not say "anyway they want" now obviously they didnt MEAN to say that but they also said something so broad that was included into what they said, all im saying is if you dont want people to put words in your mouth dont set them on the plate in the first place

 

[Coricus]

See, this is what I found interesting about the full interview. Not whether it was right or wrong, but the cultural difference.

Western developers bend over backwards to give the consumer what they want, because the customer is always right.

Japanese developers make what they feel is the best way to handle a product and insist you trust them with it, because the customer may not have the perspective to know what they'll enjoy most.

That's at least the logic behind it. It's interesting.
