Event - E3 Invitational 2014 Smash Countdown Site Hints At BIG E3 Character Reveal

[*The Sensus Crustulum*]

Probably Ridley or Mewtwo; at least here on Smashboards, those are the most anticipated characters.

Maybe but assuming it was one character, why would it be worth waiting for 17 days?
If this was real and all we get is Mewtwo, that would be p***-poor.
It has be one big character, I don't even see the appeal waiting for 17 days just for Ridley.
This is probably fake anyways.

Not 1, but 17 characters

Nice try, Sakurai doesn't update on weekdays.

 

[TORNADO BUS DRIVER]

its fake.. but i'm pritty sure i know who its refrering to..

 

[YeppersPeppers]

If this is indeed real in some way, could it possibly by referring to Nightmare from Soul Calibur?

The violent sword sounds fit.
The demon part fits.
The mercenary part though...It's kind of a stretch, but Nightmare is pretty much the evil alter-ego of Siegfried (protagonist), who led a band of mercenaries.
Also, Namco loves teaser sites, so what better way to tease a Namco character than with a good ol' fashion Namco style teaser site?

I dunno. I'm just rambling. It's most likely fake anyways.

EDIT: Could also be Siegfried, I guess.

I'm with you with thinking that it seems to be referring to a Soul Calibur character, but why not Mitsurugi? He actually is a mercenary, and the katana fits more with the sfx. Plus, he's the mascot of the series.

Because I had no idea who Mitsurugi was until 3 minutes ago. I honestly know diddly-squat about Soul Calibur. I just did some quick research on Nightmare, because he's really the only character I know from the series.

 

[LiteralGrill]

The email used to make the site was a random hotmail email. Expecting this to be fake...

 

[R0Y]

Very, very fake.

 

[CaptainCrisb]

Is anyone being serious when they say Kratos? Like, seriously?

 

[RIDLEY is too SMALL]

Kratos = 0 votes.

 

[CaptainCrisb]

Kratos = 0 votes.

And let it stay that way!

 

[papagenos]

seems to point to Dante...Maybe nightmare because of capcom / final destinations new look... maybe "fake" i dont know my friend said smashbrosus official twitter posted it but i havent checked myself yet

There is no official Smash Bros. US twitter actually. And didn't Sakurai state that he wasn't going to add fighters that mainly appear in fighting games?
Anyways, I can almost guarantee this is fake. But if it ends up being real for whatever reason, SNAKE.

That twitter account is a fan account. Not real.

 

[papagenos]

oh alright then im definitely saying fake if the twitter is unofficial

 

[Fatmanonice]

Guys, I figured it out: Ridley now wields katanas. Where is your god now?

 

[APC99]

I'm 100% certain it's fake.

But, either way, let's look at the facts:

A demon mercenary is coming to Nintendo. The most obvious answer is Dante. However, why would Capcom get two?

With the swords, my second idea is probably Lloyd Irving.

 

[Sol_Vent]

The writing on the site is way too cheesy and unprofessional. Even if it wasn't for all the other evidence, it's still way too fake to live.

However, I believe the character the site refers to is both Siegfried and Nightmare. In addition to the earlier comments, the site also says something like "their fight for dominance begins again." That might refer to the whole fighting for control of the Siegbody thing.

Considering they've already got Mega Man in there, I doubt they'd get a second. Still, I could see Capcom stipulating that they got a second representative in exchange for letting Mega Man in there. Seems like something they'd do.

 

[Dr.Megaman]

Its real.....

Who is it?!

That is a fan twitter account -_-

 

[GamerGuy09]

That's the fakest fake thing to ever be faked.

 

[Morbi]

That's the fakest fake thing to ever be faked.

This reminded me of this (famous) quote.

Spoiler

But yeah, this is blatantly fake. I am surprised that ANYONE fell for it.

 

[Pazzo.]

Ha ha, no.

Nice try to whoever made that.

 

[Dr.Megaman]

Fake but we have to applaud the man/woman that made the site.

 

[Yoichi Hiruma]

Well, everyone assumes it's third party because it says "comes to Nintendo". But (assuming this is real, which I'm not), what if it's ACTUALLY the new IP Nintendo's revealing at E3?

Is anyone being serious when they say Kratos? Like, seriously?

I think it's referring to Tales Kratos, not God of War Kratos.

 

[ChikoLad]

Can't we have a mysterious Smash countdown that's legit for once? ._.

 

[KiraYoshikage]

That is a fan twitter account -_-

Im already aware. You should read the posts in the topic before posting.

 

[Dr.Megaman]

Sorry I posted that before I read the other comments.

 

[Dr.Megaman]

I agree with
Yoichi Hiruma. Maybe it is a new Ip that shigeru miyamoto is working on. In the past he did say he wanted to work on a FPS game. It does explain the sound effects on the site...

 

[Zink Imp]

Way to take the bait.

 

[ChunkyBeef]

Well, everyone assumes it's third party because it says "comes to Nintendo". But (assuming this is real, which I'm not), what if it's ACTUALLY the new IP Nintendo's revealing at E3?

Except it's registered to a Hotmail account. I don't think Nintendo's so cheap they wouldn't give all their employees Hotmail accounts instead of unique ones. Or any other major game developer, for that matter.

 

[Jumpman84]

It was a pretty blah-ish site. The name One Final Smash makes no sense, either. Unless that's a new game mode....

 

[ToothiestAura]

Too fake for words.
> No Nintendo site links to this.
> No Nintendo logos (or anything beside the Smash Bros one).
> The timer is wrong. It leads to the day after the Nintendo conference during E3.
> The website's name.

Also, my god those sounds. It's like Fruit Ninja. That really sells the authenticity.

 

[Davidius]

This is so fake that it must be real.

 

[Banjodorf]

That was the most hilariously fake thing...ever.

The stock sword slicing actually made it harder to watch for me, because it just. kept. going...

Entertaining, I guess?

 

[aldelaro5]

euh... ok I get it it's fake so why this isn't locked? (seriously if the hotmail account isn't obvious enough).

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Someone at Facebook posted this. Doubtful since Sakurai didn't mention it. But lets see if my friends at smashboards have something to say...
(sees thread)
...yup, and you had to pick Ryu and KRATOS for that poll of all the possibilites? (I was thinking Nightmare from SC).

 

[Ultima777]

This is drastically different than what we've seen on the website. Some of those sounds are pretty out there for a Nintendo game (I've heard some stabbing sound effects... not really child friendly). I've even checked the official website myself and this "onefinalsmash.com" doesn't have a link on the official website.

I'm going for a pretty clever fake. Though, if I had to take a guess on this "mercenary," I say that it could be Shulk, Chrom, or Snake. For the "demon," I suppose a villain of Ridley or King K. Rool would fit this bill.

EDIT: Looks like the post above me debunked it.
Also, the time of that website is off. We will reach exactly 18 days and 0 everything else in 59 minutes, hence 2 PM Eastern time. This doesn't really match up with the 9 PM or 10 PM Eastern time that they planned for the 90 minute Smash Direct at E3. (unless they planned for a 2 PM Direct)

Chrom isn`t a mercenary he is a Lord. Ike is a mercenary though. He was revealed already though so definitely not him. :D Shulk don't know but I don't think it is him. Snake is a mercenary so it could possibly be him. If this is real that is.

 

[Hong]

Come on, folks. If anything is sent out to the press, I wouldn't hold anything back. This is obviously fake if no refutable source has been given anything akin to publicity material or information.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Guys, Snake wasn't cut from Smash. This is the countdown to his reveal.

 

[SSBCandidates]

OK my takes are:

-Some guy trying to make a count to coincide with whatever E3 reveal will happen.
-Scoprion. He is a demon, sort of mercenary and has used swords. Ed Boon wanted for him to be in PSASBR, and on Injustice he was a guest trying to be as less guresome as possible.
-Dante. The real Dante, not Donte. He was in that NamcoXSegaXCapcom game for the 3DS.
-Snake. Yeah he is a mercenary and the MGS V Snake considers himself a demon.
-Siegried/NIghtmare. As stated as Brad says.
-Gregor. Latest mercenary from Fire Emblem.
-Ridley. He is big and demonic like.
-Alucard. Was going to say a Belmont, but Alucard is closest to a demon. Despite the Belmonts have somehow powers from Dracula. Also a sword user.
