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

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Welp, I'll be doing my assignment for the next hour, so if anything major happens, can you guys chuck me a tag please?

See ya in a bit XD

 

[Firus]

I was just snooping around on Reddit and found it. There's no source for the image which led me to believe it was fake, but I just posted it here in case something developed.

Yeah, unfortunately sounds fake. Still, it's very well done. I'd be interested to hear if anything else was found about its origins.

At last the days of True Blue Warrior are over. (maybe)

This kind of a big deal though, I've been a Young Link supporter who's been defending him for quite a long time. Probably the only defenders alongside TheAnvil

As I said, I know it's a big deal, there are just ways to express it that are less of an eyesore.

You mean like animated gifs?
That takes time. :<
(I understand)

I mean more like words and sentences, a mass of animated gifs would probably be better avoided too

Tried to do a search by image on Google using this trophy but didn't come up with anything. :/ Too bad, I was hoping it'd lead me to something of interest maybe helping prove/disprove it.

 

[BluePikmin11]

No way I'm doing a mass of gifs, I usually just do one.

Regardless, that looks like a very Smash quality trophy, on par with the other Smash character trophies in the game, that looks pretty real.

 

[Kenith]

I dunno, it looks like the Hyrule Warriors model.
The equipment is original though. He doesn't have a sheath in HW, I jus checked.
Also, I was wrong, his sheath matches the one in Ocarina of Time.

 

[vaanrose]

uh is this fake
it might be fake

Guys, you can see some background effect the guy who made this didn't fully delete. It's fake.

It's 99.9999999% fake.
It's not in the files/ text.
RandomTalkingBush would have posted it if it was in the files, as all the trophies are grouped together.
I didn't see it when I was snooping around the text.

I was hoping people were joking when asking if it was real. It's so obviously fake it makes my head hurt.

... Oh wow, you're right. That's a weird thing to leave behind. >_<

I see it!

Did you ever list the characters (and stages) that had changes made to them?

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

I'm late to the party.



HYPE!!!

 

[Kenith]

Where did the high quality sword-and-shield models come from?

 

[PushDustIn]

Not yet. I'll probably post it after the Direct. Since Nintendo is issuing copyright claims, I don't want to make myself (more of) a target, just in case. Probably nothing to worry about since I did the whole datamining thing in the original version, but still.

(Also RandomTalkingBush hasn't heard anything yet either)

 

[Das Koopa]

Young Link looks like a malicious serial killer

 

[eltacoenojado]

Looks like we'll have no problem getting to 100 pages before the direct haha

 

[Swamp Sensei]

...

Well that's not very nice.

 

[BluePikmin11]

You sure, there's gotta be more to it though. :<
Something is seriously up.

...

It was a joke, you know that. :<
I would never mean it.

 

[cmbsfm]

I've been sharing this with all the social groups I frequent, and god damn it I need people to see it to make my time working on this worth it, enjoy:

Only your hype levels, my friend.

 

[Shroob]

So, we're gonna datamine the **** out of the 3DS version, right?

It's only been less than 20 minutes since it's been posted.
We need to look at it a bit more, just saying, this much more high quality than Artsy Omni's Rayman leak, I can tell.

Blue, you're on the same level of the Ridley deniers here.

It's fake, just move on.

We've been looking at it. If this was any other character, you would think it's fake.
Where did this magical trophy come from if it's not in the update?
Source: some guy's copy of GIMP or Photoshop.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'll go sleep and see what happens tomorrow, tell me guys if you found a Pichu trophy soon. :L
I'll just keep low expectation since you guys told me so.

You can see the background where they didn't completely erase it. Also, the feet don't sit very well on the base. I'd also say the base and character quality are different and blatantly from different sources. I got that from just looking at it for a couple seconds. I'd bet actual money it's fake.

We've upped our game since Omni's leak, so I'm not surprised such a high-quality fake has been busted so quickly

 

[Kenith]

It's an edited version of Hyrule Warriors Young Link. That's why his eyes are messed up too.
Sorry, Blue.

Aren't the eyes usually like that in many of the character trophies though. Trophies are of lower quality than the actual Smash model. Goodnight guys, I'm sleeping late.

Get over it, mate! It was convincing, but the lealer did a stupid mistake that conpletetly gave it away.

So i skipped every post from page 54 until the Royu trailers came out and read everything since then. AMAZING JOB on the article @ PushDustIn @Spazzy_D and @DMurr I can't wait for the Smash direct. Hopefully in addition to Lucas, we get Roy and Ryu tomorrow. And a tease at more DLC that wasn't in the files. Like Wolf. I think we can all agree he's inevitable at this point, yes?

 

[Radical Bones]

I just realised that All Star mode is about to become way harder with 3 more characters and I struggle beating it now. Humph.

For Wolf, the real question has always been "when?"

 

[egaddmario]

Okay guys, i've been reading this like all day trying to catch up, but now it's 12:43am where i am. Going to "time travel" to 10:30am via sleeping. I'll catch you all later!!

It's about time for me to go to bed too. Hopefully I can wake up and see some normalcy.

There is only chaos to be had on a Direct day. Embrace it.
