Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Jigglymaster]

Instead of TeamReal vs TeamFake

How about TeamDirectThisWeek vs TeamDirectNextWeek

 

[Artorias]

How the **** do you fake something on the official site?

Didn't mean it like that, i ment the leaker needs a galaxy brain to model his fake after the failed update of the site

 

[Deleted member]

How unlike the Grinch.

But his heart grew 3 sizes that day.

 

[KMDP]

How about how literally everyone on that list is in Ultimate now except Goku and Shadow (excluding Grinch leak)?

Oh god, you're right...

He's just storing cheeks in his food for winter. Leave the poor boy be.

Koopa species part squirrel, confirmed.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

I swear, Flint's Inktober uploads keep taking longer. Anyway, here is the one for today:

 

[DiamondJoyride]

Exactly, at most Nintendo is just like "This leak? dismiss it, treat it as fake"

I mean it is what makes the most sense, the less people believe the leak the bigger the impact of the surprise is, and that's the best thing for Nintendo.

The thing Gamexplain didnt consider is that being absolutely silent about the leak raises the most eyebrows, because it means that something was said internally.

That seems like the most logical thing they would do. Although I can't think of anything else that they would do, so...

 

[Roberk]

Ain't believing anything until someone shows game footage or it's revealed by its own merit.

Better to be safe than sorry. Even 99% can still fail.

Hell, sometimes something can be 100% and still fail.

 

[Luigifan18]

How's the conversation gonna go?

"Hey you've never met me, but will you guys break NDA, burn professional bridges, ruin your reputation, and incite a lawsuit you can't win to lemme know if the video game thing is real?"

"**** yes we will bro, and **** yes it's real!"

We need to make half A presses to see the green pixel better.

But first, let’s talk about parallel universes and the murals visible on them:

The website has inside a version of each mural for each possibility. If the mural gets darker, a version of it is programmed, if it gets edgy, there’s one for that.

If we want to get to the parallel universe where the green pixel is shown better, we need to make exactly 10 half A presses starting from the latest blog updates buttom.

Just ignore TJ “Henry” Yoshi.

builds up hype for 12 hours

Where are my sides?

 

[doomedtacox]

Before we get carried away here with "banner glitches" that no-one actually saw, alignment errors, a video getting deleted, GameXplain being weird and a crazy theory from @papagenos , let's remember:



Mind you, a lot of this evidence doesn't sound as airtight now as it did a few days ago, but I still think we should keep it in mind.

It was never airtight, it was like a punctured tire all along.

 

[Will]

Didn't mean it like that, i ment the leaker needs a galaxy brain to model his fake after the failed update of the site

That's what bugs me the most. What is it supposed to be updating? If it was clipping out the supposed leaked characters, that sounds pretty ****ing stupid when they could've just kept the already modified banner from before. It just doesn't ring any bells for me.

 

[Saelind Genesis]

Can we all admit that the "slowing down reveals" argument is not a good one though lol

 

[ChronoKatie]

Oh my, I have no idea what is happening but it looks like some crazy stuff went down X_X

 

[monadoboy]

I actually wanted Chrom lol.

I still can't believe the Awakening trio is Chromplete

 

[CannonStreak]

At best it's a dumb thought, and at worst it continues the narrative of insiders playing mind games with the fanbase. Please think a little before throwing out ideas; at the very least your ideas should have some foundation in reality or some evidence to back them up, especially in regards to Grinch leak speculation.

I'm going to assume this is sarcasm for the sake of my own sanity.

Ugh, you are starting to get annoying, tehponycorn.

First, stir up discussion might not have been the right word, but I meant all this in a more positive, non harm to themselves way, as in not getting themselves in trouble with the fans. I meant that they were trying to add to the surprise, simple as that.

Second, you don't think these insiders are faultless innocent people, do you? Because it seems you are acting like it. I could be assuming, but still. It is not bad to defend a group of people in itself, but here you technically generalize the Smash fans you say get on the case of the insiders, and not only that, you seem to assume every one of us is trying to do bad things to these insiders. I wasn't doing any harm, and yet you acted like I did. There isn't something that makes you attached to these insiders to a "defend them at any cost" level, huh? Not everyone is pestering or saying bad things about these insiders, and by "not everyone", that includes me. So chill, not everything you see is a threat to these insiders you seem to care about, to the point of being easily getting on the case of others for the smallest things.

Sorry for the little rant, everyone else, I just had to get something off my back.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

My guess is that their reason to reach either conclusion is not something they'd be able to discuss in their usual format without certain complications arising

This really isn't an excuse though. There is so much to talk about concerning this leak that they would not have to discuss their insider information.

 

[lightdrago]

Can we all admit that the "slowing down reveals" argument is not a good one though lol

Only if we agree that the insiders being paid off isn’t a good one either!

 

[KMDP]

**** Isaac,

Excuse you?

Only if we agree that the insiders being paid off isn’t a good one either!

"The insiders are being paid off" is not a good theory.

"The insiders are under NDA (or at least acting like they are to keep a good relationship with Nintendo) is, though".

 

[Will]

Hell, sometimes something can be 100% and still fail.

I mean, Master Ball works that way too.
I wonder if there's a chance you can get a Goldeen from those.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

So what do you think's on the blog today?

Shout it out!

 

[Radical Bones]

I think I've figured out what happened on the website with the banner cuts.

I mean, it could only be one thing, right?

Spoiler

Cut Man, slices up the competition!

 

[Will]

So what do you think's on the blog today?

Shout it out!

I'm feeling like a today

 

[Royalty1702]

I would laugh if the next direct turned out to be something like this:
-Starts Direct
-Reveals Gen... Mallow
-Isaac is an Assist Trophy
-Reveals Dan Hibiki
-Shadow is a boss
-Karate Joe is an Assist Trophy
-Excitebike stage
-Reveals Banj... Conker at the end
-Ends Direct

 

[GaroMaster]

Just like him being Shulk wasn't one.

I mean, they look pretty similar.

 

[ExitWound]

I mean, they look pretty similar.

that's just a photoshopped little mac

 

[Buzzwole]

We already got ROB if I recall correctly.

 

[Saelind Genesis]

Only if we agree that the insiders being paid off isn’t a good one either!

But it's... Not the same? The insiders argument has a possibility of being true. The other one, doesn't. After all, reveal were already slowed down lol.

 

[Mc.Rad]

I like to think it’s more akin to infinite monkey’s on a type writer and shakesphere, but we are the monkey’s, the shakesphere is a convincing leak, and the typewriter is our bat**** insane speculations

 

[Nekoo]

I mean, they look pretty similar.

Yuup, Leak confirmed I guess.

Wasn't it always weird how they used a frame of Mac frowning to make one of a render smiling?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Instead of TeamReal vs TeamFake

How about TeamDirectThisWeek vs TeamDirectNextWeek

Neither. TeamDirectHowAboutNow. Drop everything at the office Nintendo.

Let's get this ball going. Chop chop chop.

LET'S GO.

 

[SneakyLink]

So what do you think's on the blog today?

Shout it out!

Mr. Game and Watch

Reason: Game and Watch Gallery 4 came out in 2002 (U.S. date) this very day (although not in Japan so my chances are 20%)

 

[Iko MattOrr]

After all, Vergeben was wrong when he said there will be no cuts.

 

[Radical Bones]

So what do you think's on the blog today?

Shout it out!

I think we'll see Yoshi today.

Zinith , I think today will be your lucky day!

 

[Ignoritus]

Show me evidence that multiple people saw the site glitch out. Not word of mouth. If multiple people saw this, surely multiple people screenshot it.

The 4chan picture that has been passed around was a real thread that was posted 5 minutes after the direct.
https://boards.fireden.net/v/thread/431477580/#431477580#

Your argument hinges on the notion that this man decided to fake a site glitch within five minutes of the direct ending for no discernible purpose. What reason would they possibly have to make that up?

On top of I can tell you that I personally remember this having occurred, and a few other Smashboarders have said they remember seeing this on the site after the direct as well.

Why are there no other screenshots? How many people have screencapped the bug where Superhappy Tree's name is in Spanish? No one, necause it's a minor site glitch that nobody expects to ever have insanely convoluted relevance to a leak two months later and hence there is no reason to screenshot it.

this week please

 

[Phobos_Anomaly]

We already got ROB if I recall correctly.

That's correct, R.O.B. has already been shown. I think we're down to like 14 fighters not shown. I think.

[Dyllybirdy]

Geez, why are there so many people here!

What's going on, what?
