I just realised something in that Sonic Mania trailer.

"123KM"

Mania is really the true Sonic 4 now.

In all seriousness, I think the elevator could actually be a plot point. Maybe like an elevator that travels through time and that's why some of the levels they go to are old ones?

The elevator lacks a Sonic CD button though, which is odd since they just confirmed a stage from it.

If you wanna get SUPER loopholey. . .you don't need any magic elevator to travel through time in the area CD is set in.

Really, I have no idea though. Just thinking via post.

With modding for the 3DS and Wii U we're going to get bombarded by Smash leaks aren't we?

I love how the Clair one is called "Bossy Lady".

I hope you guys missed Smash hoaxes leaks.

I missed quality smash hoaxes leaks.

You ever just hop on to the Internet, read a page and just wonder "Why are people this obtuse?"

Sometimes I do, but there's a bunch of other thing to do on the internet. At some point, you have to consider your time and attention as a limited resource. Lest you go down rabbit holes and stress yourself. Walking away from the net is good sometimes, you know?

 

[Ivander]

Wow... I spent the same amount of orbs and didn't get a single Lyn, one of the two I wanted the most, the other being Charlotte. I did get the other two however, Caeda and Cordelia, the former with a +Atk nature and the latter with a -Atk nature. Happy to have not gotten all 3* units like I did with the previous banner regardless. While I wanted a couple grooms, the art is fantastic with all four.

Glad Camus is coming next, have over 20k feathers waiting to max him out right away. Always liked his design in Heroes and enjoyed getting some use out of him as Zeke in SoV. Second favorite cavalry unit next to Mathilda who ended up stealing his Gradivus. <3

That -Atk is unlucky, but can't be as unlucky as I was with my Cordelia. She got a +RES/-DEF IV. Because of that -DEF, she's going to be tied with Mae for 3rd lowest DEF. She will be a nice Mage killer though. My Lyns are nice in terms of IVs. One Lyn has a +ATK/-RES, another has a +HP/-RES and the last one has +RES/-HP.
Still, probably not as lucky as I was with my first Spring Camilla, which is a SPD+/-ATK, which apparently is the optimal IV set for her Gronblade Flier Emblem build, as an Neutral ATK only adds on 2 more people she can defeat and +ATK doesn't add anybody else.

Camus is going to be great when he comes out. Great Attack, Great HP, Good Speed, Good Defense, Distant Counter Weapon and Goad Cavalry. Definitely going to go well with my Horse Emblem team of Xander, Reinhardt/Ursula and Cecilia.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Polygon sure doesn't do their homework sometimes: An article called "There’s already an Arms fan game — and its creator wants Nintendo to see it"

That is the exact opposite what the creator wants. His blog specifically states he doesn't want the game to be known enough due to fears of a cease & desist.

Still a neat game to play.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

**** it, considering the roster we're getting, characters I want to see in FEW
Shadow Dragon: Sheeda, Ogma, Barst, Merric, Minerva, Xane, Tiki and Camus
Awakening: Lucina, Robin, Sumia, Olivia, Anna, Tiki, Virion, Vaike, Lon'qu, Gaius, Gregor, Henry and Gangrel
Fates: Jakob, Oboro, Leo, Elise, Peri, Niles, Arthur, Nyx, Charlotte, Keaton, Ophelia, Soleil, Nina, Velouria and Anna

OBVIOUSLY I don't expect even a quarter of these characters to make it in

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I heard that they aren't adding the protagonist from each game in Fire Emblem Warriors which probably means Hector, Ike, Roy, and Lyn will all get shafted.

Color me disappointed, honestly.

Hoshidan Nine-tailed Kaden for Fire Emblem Warriors let's go (hopefully at least. Still the person who I'm waiting for in Heroes too.)

"We couldn't, otherwise too many swords."

"Also, we are proud to show you our 4 sword wielding original characters that none of you will care about!"
*post release*
"Who are these 'Miciah', 'Hector' and 'Ephraim' you speak of? And also these 'Sigurd' and 'Leif' people? Sound like pure sword users to us! Also Skull Knight is too scary for kids so we didn't include him in Beserk Musou"
Tecmo Koei probably

I love how fast everyone here tore the Smash leak apart.

It was just like old times.

Brings a tear to my eye.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Friendly reminder that Smash leaks (or "leaks") will increase site member count.

Like the good ol' days.

Nothing really bad or anything, just people being really obtuse in their desperation to defend something. Basically just mental gymnastics.

I don't want to get into it here though.

Sounds similar to "THE ONLY TOXIC FIRE EMBLEM FANS ARE THE ONES CALLING US TOXIC FOR PLAYING REAL FIRE EMBLEM GAMES!!!!1!" **** I saw a while ago

 

[Erureido]

Guess I might as well refine my FE: Warriors wishlist in light of the news:

Shadow Dragon: Minverva, Catria, Palla, Est, Jagen, Camus, Michalis, Tiki, Navarre, Cain, Abel, and Gordin
Awakening: Vaike, Virion, Frederick, Lissa, Nowi, Tiki, Gaius, Stahl, Lon'qu, Henry, Olivia, Laurent, and Inigo
Fates: Takumi, Oboro, Hinata, Kaden, Hinoka, Sakura, Saizo, Kagero, Shiro, Selkie, Laslow, Benny, Charlotte, Arthur, Niles, Ignatius, and Dwyer.

Most of the characters listed are in doubtful territory, but I'm pretty much buying the game as long as Takumi is playable.

That cutscene artwork of Conrad revealing himself looks perfect for avatar material for me, but too bad I'd have to wait a year to make it possible since everyone still doesn't know he's the man behind the mask right now.

Hoshidan Nine-tailed Kaden for Fire Emblem Warriors let's go (hopefully at least. Still the person who I'm waiting for in Heroes too.)

Yoooooo, someone else is looking forward to Kaden in Heroes? Glad I'm not the only one. Someone's got good taste in characters!

Kaden would be awesome in Warriors, but I too am hoping he makes it into Heroes at the very least.

We need more of his hilarity and smugness!

 

[ChikoLad]

My wishlist for FE Warriors:

-Rinkah
-Kaze
-Silas
-Felicia
-Hinoka
-Takumi
-Alfonse
-Alm
-Clair
-Lukas
-Mae
-Boey
-Leon
-Jeorge
-Anna

I only expect Takumi though, and maybe Alm as unlockable/DLC.

I realise there is a fair bit of over lap in terms of archetypes, mainly because that's just a list based on me being attached to the characters (while also viewing them as at least semi-reasonably plausible). To cut things down a bit though:

-Rinkah
-Silas
-Felicia
-Takumi
-Alfonse
-Alm
-Clair
-Boey
-Anna

Fates: Ryoma, Xander, Takumi, Leo, Kaze, Keaton, Oboro, Benny

Ryce verified (language warning)

Skull Knight is too scary for kids so we didn't include him in Beserk Musou

He's in it and has a moveset, he's just not playable for some stupid reason.

This doesn't add up with what a spokesman said in an interview. 28 characters isn't enough when you're reusing assets from a game with more than that

That's kinda what I meant. Yet **** horse gets a skin

 

[Burb]

Here's another screenshot from the same source, this one looks significantly dodgier.

Yeah, this one pretty much killed it for me even before seeing people point out the inconsistencies in the ported 3DS content screenshots.

Smash Run being brought over and given co-op as originally intended sounds reasonable (Sakurai is known to re-use scrapped ideas from one iteration in another), as does the Paper Mario stage being brought over. Break the Targets returning in its Melee form, on the other hand, sounds more like someone's pipe dream.

I mean, it's far from the most ridiculous pipe dream I've seen in a leak (that honor goes to Miahstorm's "Melee physics toggle"), but it still gives me the same feeling. And that's not even touching the sketchy HUD.

With all that said, it's easily one of the best Smash screenshot leaks. Mad props to whoever made them (assuming those of us on #TeamFake are right, which I'm quite certain we are).

[ChikoLad]

If you pre-order Sonic Mania on PSN, you get free themes. Aaron also tweeted that he's looking into making sure the PS4 Collector's Edition has them too.

Only one female character left according to Ryce. Probably be a Marvel one for parity (We have Chun-Li and Morrigan for Capcom and Captain Marvel for Marvel).

This doesn't add up with what a spokesman said in an interview. 28 characters isn't enough when you're reusing assets from a game with more than that

Spokesmen say all sorts of ****. Plus plans change and they have a deadline to meet (though they should really delay it).
Plus Ryce and Saikyo risk getting banned from GAF.

Why would they take out Ammy and Wright?

Because Capcom's gonna Crapcom.

 

[Coricus]

Honestly, fake leak season is kind of the best leak season. It's just attention getting enough to be hype inducing and entertaining without the question of reality sending people into rage mode. Real or fake this one's pretty tame, but where you have one leak. . .

Too bad the only copycat so far off of this had such a stupid reasoning for how they got the game that even the people that believe this one won't touch it, LOL.

Hopefully the two weeks leading up to E3 make for some good stupid fun. I'm kind of astonished how much I missed this. Come on now, bored gamers, amuse me. Who knows, maybe we'll get a wild card legitimate leak that no one believes mixed in with the fakes that people take hook line and sinker.

I trust Ryce, just that Capcom's gonna catch a LOT of **** for that. If they were confident enough to have a release date, then the plans couldn't change that drastically

 

[Burb]

Reminds me of this really awful fake leak from the DLC speculation period where this guy claimed he got a "unfinished demo" of the DLC from an IGN employee. The guy recorded a really poorly photoshopped CSS, and the whole thing inexplicably picked up traction.

Good times.

 

[praline]

My wishlist for FEW is Lucina, Ike, Tharja, Azura, Lyn, Charlotte and Eirika.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So far, Ive seen more people saying that smash leak is fake them people saying its real

Meh. Didn't stop Liam "Tamaki" Robertson or Spainkiller.

To be fair, that tends to be the case, even with the real ones.

Up until the videos were posted, the majority believed the ESRB leak was fake.

 

[Schnee117]

The spokesman stuff came from when the game was announced. We then had a hiatus before they announced more characters and the release date. That hiatus happened for a reason.

Meh. Didn't stop Liam "Tamaki" Robertson or Spainkiller.

They're irrelevant.

Ryce has literally never been wrong on Mahvel amd if GAF finds out you've been wrong once, banned

Also only one non-MCU character, which is ABSOLUTELY Venom

I dunno, Injustice 2 had a hiatus of similar length between the Harley/Deadshot trailer and the Story Trailer

 

[Burb]

They're irrelevant.

Not really, no. They're textbook examples of people willing to gamble their account on a leak.

Sure it's not MvC, but it's evidence that this sort of thing does happen, and thus, "They'll get banned if it's fake!" isn't really a valid point in their favor.

if GAF finds out you've been wrong once, banned

I'm fully aware.

Hence why I gave examples of people getting banned for incorrect leaks. The gamble is worth it for some people who think they have legit information.
