Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[CaptainAmerica]

You guys really should have learned this from the 2chan fake. Something THIS eerily accurate would have been picked up on VERY quickly, it wouldn't have suddenly sprung out of the blue over a month later.

The admin themselves directly called it a fake. Stop clinging.

This.

If it was that scarily accurate, why did people not go nuts that night and call out how it foretold everything. Instead, it sat silent for a month.

People are getting smarter at fake leaks now. And with all of the ones we’ve had in the last few days, I think I’ll wait to get hyped until Sakurai says something.

Also still annoyed that none of these fake leaks are offering my favorites.

 

[Over9000BPM]

If I ask for buff men can I also ask for Samus to get her chest back.

Male and female characters should bear the burden of having unrealistically hot bodies equally in my opinion, so go for it

 

[MrSmashFour]

Not exactly being overtly helpful, though they seem pretty confident with the original post not being a leak. I'm going to try and contact the admin directly next.

And there goes my argument. Thanks for getting her (I'm guessing) to clear it up. Sorry to anyone I've offended, I get pretty heated if I get too involved in leak debates

The Switch is going to actually explode.

 

[Polan]

Sooooooo where was the lawsuit filed at GameFAQs for their numerous leaks? Why hasn't NeoGAF/ResetEra been clobbered by the Yakuza? Why does everybody think that Nintendo is going to come break your kneecaps if you say Simon Belmont is in Smash Bros.?

Unless they're directly posting confidential material, the most Nintendo can do is angrily glare and look for whoever spilled the beans so they can "have a talk" with them about their job performance.

There's no need to cover anything up.

>nintendo hasn't gone after a site for text leaks though else smashboards would have been obliterated off the face of the earth.

can you actually read?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

French leaks? Now I’ve heard everything. While we are all here debating the legitimacy of the leak, they are over there doing this....

 

[Nethermoosen]

But that’s objectificati-Oh wait, they’re men. So that’s okay

It is funny to see the double standards.

 

[P1ZZ4CHU]

Organised = / = co-ordinated.
They're two different things. Organised just means it was well thought-out, co-ordinated means multiple people took part.

What's more likely here? That someone talking about a thread involving a Smash Bros. Roster Leak means "random keystrokes" when they say "random characters", or "random fighters" ?

I think we need to shoot that admin another message so we all can stop arguing over every possibly mis-translated word...

"organized is not coordinated"

Characters are what letters and numbers are. It's the official term. It's one of the first things that comes up when you search anything about computerized messaging. How the absolute flipping flup would "random fighters" make any sense? Nobody would be dumb enough to make that claim and there is no Nintendo assassination corps. to worry about so why would they make such an awful claim? They posted gibberish to get a legitimate post and edited it later for kicks.

 

[Will]

Admin confirmed themself on the 4chan thread by posting something about ketchup on the site. We're diving deeper into the fake realm.

Imagine actually attempting this...and the game doesn’t lag out or crash

Hi, moderator of jeuxvideo.com here !

First of all, when I asked if Dukeofdeath5 was from Nintendo, it's not because I had something to hide. I would just have redirected him to an administrator as something that sensible should be done by them. And I have to admit that I was a bit afraid of a lawsuit.

As I said, there is no way to confirm wether or not this is a fake except by asking an administrator. And I'm not sure they are allowed to disclose it. But as my coworker (and friend) pointed out, a fake leak was organized a few weeks before and even if there is no way to be sure it is this one, I'm gonna say it is fake. The author was just lucky I guess.

I think someone talked about the URL earlier, but frankly the system used by the website is completely erratic so maybe it is not the right direction to look at. But the "42" means it was posted on the "18-25" forum so this part seems to check out.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'm gonna refresh the page for half an hour and then go to bed. Sorry for my poor english !

 

[Over9000BPM]

As I keep saying, I’m a-ok with male characters being impossibly good looking too, it’s only fair

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Ofcoarse I still always assume to real otherwise

It’s worth looking into because he’s getting stuff right

And the difference with this and the 2chan leak the date can’t be altered

So you believe the post was indeed real and that the leaker was lucky? That seems more than luck to me

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Apperantly one of the mods I've been speaking with has made a Smash Boards account and is going to be answering questions, so uh, look out for them

On /v/ the mod "KirikRung" posted and said that the post was edited with inspect element, with confirmation that it was them.
I'm thinking the leak is fake, but I'll reserve judgement until the admin mentioned previously replies.

There goes that one then.

Lasted longer than the shell 2chan leak I guess. That's a new record.

No awards will be given out.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

duke is not nintendo

We are Nintendo.

 

[Zathura]

But that’s objectificati-Oh wait, they’re men. So that’s okay

It’s okay because they’re fictional, not like I can hurt their feelings

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

You have no proof of this, I could have been an undercover agent the entire time, why do you think I browse message boards, it is to smoke out filthy leakers

 

[MrSmashFour]

I agree that it's fake now but

Organised and co-ordinated are similar. Not the same.

Is Dixie kong going to be in smash?

 

[Nethermoosen]

I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about people being judged for talking about one or the other. Buff man=shapely female. Otherwise, double standard.

Edit: That said, I prefer to drop the conversation. I should have kept my mouth shut anyways.

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

I think what he's saying is the user made a legitimate post, filled with nonsense, so he could screencap it and then alter the text.

But then what about the responses afterwards?
And wouldn't there be a sign that the post was edited?

The 'random' characters/giberish statement seems like a stretch, the 2 users who answered the post said 'Osef' which means basically 'We don't give a ****'.

Spoiler

2 options regarding this statement imo:

1. It was an organised fake leak involving 3 users and unfolding over months (very elaborate plan for a fake leak)
2. KirikRung either don't know what she's talking about or don't want people to know about this leak (it was deleted few minutes/hours after it was bumped today)

Both options seems like conspirationist bs... so i really can't tell if the leak is real or fake. Choose your conspiration

Asking out of curiosity, but the fake leak you're referring to was posted prior to this one? So there's the possibility that it is real?

Thank you very much for coming over here and speaking with us. It's greatly appreciated.

 

[Malkior7]

Real talk though

In the case it this leak was made randomly I feel this leak has way too many correct guesses too be random. it's happened in fake leaks before but there was only like 2 maybe 3 correct lucky guesses but this leak? 4 playable characters, a stage boss, and stage morph. I've seen a lot of leaks in my time and none of them have had this much correct info (if any correct info at all. Also not including images leaks just text leaks) the chances are just so astronomically low, not zero, but low.

In the case this leak was faked by waiting almost 2 months and editing correct info in. I have a hard time believing any troll would waste their time to wait for that especially since there was not guarantee a direct would happen in August it could have happened in November for all that person knew now if it was made after the Direct was announced I could have seen that happening. It just doesn't add up to me.

Idk for sure but to me neither one of those logically add up but that's my take on it anyway.

 

[NintenZ]

Honestly if Isaac is in the game then this is actually huge because it could possibly revive the long-dormant Golden Sun series, I know Smash has done types of things like this before, but the entire series would no longer be dead as a result from this.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

French leaks or fake leaks aside, what would be the internet’s reaction if we got Fortnite content? Specifically, a stage?

 

[Over9000BPM]

It’s okay because they’re fictional, not like I can hurt their feelings

Finally someone GETS IT. Like if someone spoke about a real life woman the way I talked about Samus, I’d wanna slap them. But she ISN’T REAL.

The only good looking male character in Smash is ...nobody else (as for females...just )

 

[Kveldssang]

Can't be 100% sure as the "inspect the element" thing cannot be detected, but I'm pretty sure this is either fake or luck. I know leaks are not new to this forum as they leaked a part of the high-school diploma subject a few years ago, but I can't see how a french teenager would be able to know something like that...

 

[Deleted member]

French leaks or fake leaks aside, what would be the internet’s reaction if we got Fortnite content? Specifically, a stage?

In all seriousness, I haven't played Fortnite at all, so I have no clue how a stage would look or play. I do like big stages for casual matches though, and if it was a big stage, I'd be all for it.

The fandom as a whole would probably throw a fit.

 

[Starbound]

French leaks or fake leaks aside, what would be the internet’s reaction if we got Fortnite content? Specifically, a stage?

Can we get a battle royale mode alongside it?

Perfect reason to hit 100 characters and Sakurai is the only person I trust to make a good battle royale game.

 

[Zathura]

Finally someone GETS IT. Like if someone spoke about a real life woman the way I talked about Samus, I’d wanna slap them. But she ISN’T REAL.

Exactly, Id never say these things about real guys, let me stare at my digital men in peace

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I doubt this person knows that. And even so, will her inclusion sway your opinion if a leak (or any leak) is true or not?

You underestimate the power of people with tons of free time and no inhibitions.

I know, I just wanna clear up some misconceptions about my attitudes towards women. Fictional characters, regardless of sex have every right to be tougher, stronger, faster and hotter than any of us.

So just to clarify:
Is random "characters" referring to fighters or letters/symbols?
