NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[Deleted member]

Curious, but which character or stage leaks have actually been true?

Thinking of it, only one that comes to mind is the Ryu/Roy from the 3DS files. I don't recall a leak ever being true that wasn't data mined from a file.

There could be some but I don't remember them.

 

[Burb]

about time we get a leak to rip apart.

We just had two on Sunday.

I just gave you several examples a few posts ago.

There was at least four real leaks. Ninka_kiwi, Vaanrose, ESRB, and Roy/Ryu.

 

[Das Koopa]

Actually, this is huge evidence it's shopped.
He's got blue splotches around him like's been cropped out of, say Battlefield, and despite being mid-Spin Attack, there's no weapon trail.
Additionally, he has no real outline from what I can tell, even when viewed from that size.
I definitely call fake.

Is he actually mid spin attack? I assumed jump.

Regardless, Burb's right- these are too thin to be team lines. Either it's the very poor quality of the image, or this was a really good shop. Starting to bet on the latter.

He's definitely mid spin.
Compare the screenshot to this Wii U screen of Toon Link spin attacking.

It's almost the exact same frame of animation.
I know 3DS and Wii U have graphical differences, but the 3DS version does have effects like weapon trails. This image does not.

 

[Deleted member]

The difference is minuscule.



Ninka (Leaked Shulk, Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, Bowser Jr/Koopalings, Duck Hunt, Alph, and the Brawl cuts)
Vaanrose (Leaked Duck Hunt Dog and Bowser Jr)
ESRB (Leaked all of the above characters plus Falco, Ness, Wario, Jigglypuff, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B, and Ganondorf, as well as Mushroomy Kingdom, Corneria, Magicant, SNES Mute City, Gaur Plain, WarioWare Inc, Flat Zone 2, Pictochat 2, Distant Planet, and Gameboy Dream Land)
Roy/Ryu Datamining (Leaked Roy, Ryu, Dream Land 64, and Suzaku Castle)

Every other leak has either been fake or contained inaccurate information.

With Ninka, Vaanrose and ESRB, were these accompanied by screenshots? were they ambiguous like these recent leaks are?

Didn't notice cause edited posts don't notify.

 

[Burb]

I don't blame you, one of the two leaks on Sunday was utter garbage that was killed almost immediately thanks to the leaker thinking it would be a good idea to use Young Link's Hyrule Warriors art completely unedited.

With Ninka, Vaanrose and ESRB, were these accompanied by screenshots? were they ambiguous like these recent leaks are?

Ninka and Vaanrose were both text leaks. Ninka's leak mentioned Bowser Jr having the Koopalings as alt costumes and that he'd fight in the Koopa Clown Car (which was a pretty big deal, since at that point, nobody had guessed something like that. Every Bowser Jr moveset people imagined was based around the paintbrush from Super Mario Sunshine). It also mentioned Alph as an Olimar costume and every single cut character (including the Ice Climbers).

ESRB had a mountain of photographic and video evidence.

This leak reminds me of that old Palutena fake.

All righty. So for all intents and purposes, there has never been a truthful leak about Smash Bros. 4 via a rogue screenshot that didn't have a bunch more to go along with it.

I bring this up because I notice the Smash fandom in particular has a ton of leaks, and not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but I don't think people should be believing in picture leaks unless there are multiple screenshots and actual evidence as every single thing in Smash 4 history has been proven false via these lone shot/faker methods.

In what way?

The two leaks have nothing in common.

The ESRB leak started as a few screenshots (mostly of the select screen and HUDs), but slowly built up over the span of a week or two, culminating in a couple of gameplay videos and an Imgur album full of screenshots.

 

[Champ Gold]

I actually want Great Bay back

I like its theme and would be nice to bring back a fun Melee stage

Wish it was a real leak so we could get stages like Pokemon Stadium, Yoshi's Story and Big Blue back

 

[Das Koopa]

After having done some testing, outlines dramatically begin to reduce in size upon closeups. I turned regular outlines off and selected to play team battle, then paused the game. With the quality being as poor as it is, it's entirely possible that the lines are being used as minimally as possible and that the close-up shot reduces their presence on screen.

The bigger issue is, as pointed out, the spin attack.

EDIT: Pausing the game mid-spin attack got me nearly the exact same shot, with no spin attack trails. I'll attempt to see if I can upload the shot anywhere.

 

[Naoshi]

A real shame that Melee stage DLC feels so unlikely

Has any Direct footage of the 3DS version used outlines at a setting that isn't the default size?

 

[Substitution]

HD Poke Floats or bust.

 

[Champ Gold]

I don't think so. There's a lot of returning stages people want back from Melee even stages that were crap like Big Blue and Poke Floats.

It's not impossible especially with stuff like Pokemon Stadium, Fourside, Rainbow Cruise and even doing some stuff like putting the 3DS Melee stages in Wii U like Brinstar & Coneria

 

[Deleted member]

I don't think it's unlikely imo. Maybe they're doing it like, 1st pack = N64, 2nd pack = Melee, etc.

 

[Kenith]

Big Blue wasn't crap though. It was the best stage.
Especially because of this:

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

Sorry to interrupt, but appearently the director of Poltergeist, Gil Kenan, is going to be the director of the Five Nights at Freddy's movie.

Just thought I'd point that out.

 

[Naoshi]

Big Blue is my favorite F-Zero stage

So weird they didn't bring it back at all when it was already in Brawl.

 

[Das Koopa]

I'm going to test and see if outline size even matters on closeups, it may not.

First, I'm going to get my Miiverse set up and upload this picture

SMRPG does not deserve more attention. It came out 20 years ago. It's not relevant. I have over 20 fan polls with Paper Mario top 10. Paper Mario is arguably MORE specialer then SMRPG; I can't think of any other game where you control a protagonist made out of paper, in a world of paper; and to top it off, an RPG.

-Having merchandise doesn't mean Nintendo cares more. Why do you assume that?
-Where's your source, besides 5 reviewers, that "SMRPG was one of the best games of all time" ?
-Nope, they werne't. They were revivals of old series. SMRPG is not a series.
-Paper Mario is more popular and known then SMRPG. This is a fact. It has more sales and more games. Also, Paper Mario isn't a spiritual successor to SMRPG.
-What do you not understand? The first game shouldn't get more love if the only plausible rep from it is a 3rd party.
-THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. OH MY GOD. YOU KEEP SAYING THERE'S SO MANY FINAL FANTASY ENEMIES! HE IS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T "GET A REDESIGN"!
-A humongous company like Square Enix won't nonchalantly tell a random youtuber and nobody that "Geno is 2nd party and could be in Smash". Not sure if that's even legal.
-Future, yep. Been 2 years. No word.

You're correct about the Ephiram thing, my mistake.
You keep stating the same things over and over again. It is honestly tiring. Like, can you not accept a third party character who has been in one game (don't BS me with that Superstar Sega cameo) does not have a chance over a massively popular recent character who has been in the Nintendo family for over 10 years, and has 4 games?

Spoiler

in your opinion it doesnt but in mine it does its legend classic and grandfather of mario RPGs, fan polls doesnt mean anything "yay shovel knight is number 1", for me its not i didnt feel something special about the game; i cant think of any Mario RPGs game that made you control Peach and show what she actually got in a world with clay style

-why wouldnt it? they wants to make people have more fun and make more money
-did i say "one of the best game of all time"? no i only said it was rated high by companies and its being called "classic legend"
-SMRPG was going to be a seires before mario paper happend
-what is it then? a game that has nothing related to SMRPG? there is similar 7 stars there and some similar items from SMRPG
-whats the problem? the only problem would be getting the right to it. but SMRPG characters were created to be in a nintendo games and never leave nintendo console they are a mario characters after all
-there are alot of things in SMRPG that looked similar to final fantasy games just like chrono trigger it might be not 100% the same thing but its too similar
-not sure but nintendo used SMRPG characters in super mario-kun comics without needing square
-they dont to want to spoil anything right now

that never has been a rule

So, the director of an underwhelming horror film? Truly we're in good hands.

Man, Nash has no chill.

 

[Das Koopa]

line thickness doesn't appear to matter upon closeup with team colors, or the difference is negligible and can still be masked by bright/blue colors and bad quality

 

[Deleted member]

Contains curse words. (for the rules)

Wow! Dude's gotten heartless.

[Das Koopa]

both closeups/paused

Spinattack mid attack without attack trails

max thickness lines on team battle

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Man, Nash has no chill.

PLEASE CAN YOU SHOW ME WHERE YOU FOUND THIS?!?!?!?!

I just need more win quotes....

 

[Captain Shwampy]

Looks like Splatoon will have more anime crossovers than just Ike Musume

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

THAT LOOKS AWESOME AS ****!!!

All it needs now is a Mario Sunshine crossover

 

[Deleted member]

Very tight looking weapon. Doesn't fit the game, though.

 

[Naoshi]

I actually have trouble imaging how that would fit in Splatoon, especially as an ink gun, even though its a crossover item. Still, that looks pretty cool.

They got some of Ken's too.

Actually it's possible without mods to do this without dying in Smash 4.

Just play (or ) can work
Max out their speed stats in Customization
Do Bunny Hood Smash and bam, Sonic can run on Big Blue without dying once

Looks like Splatoon will have more anime crossovers than just Ike Musume

That great but also hilarious since Psycho Pass is gonna have a video game coming out soon.

It's Xbox One exclusive.
I'm serious

Pretty good article on this btw

Termina Bay returning would be awesome, but I'm calling fake.

Also congrats for finishing police academy @PushDustIn.
