Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Potato_]

I don't know anything about his translation position, but in many cases yes, yes it would.

I said this about the whole "Eric Bricard wouldn't get in trouble if the leaks were fake!!!" argument, and I will say it again here.

Your employer does not care if you are only "pretending" to violate NDA. Any attempts to use your access to confidential information to influence public opinion will be treated as a leak of information.

If he was responsible for translating anything that required any level of trust between him and a client, he just publicly proved his willingness to violate that trust.

This is a good point.

What Mystic said might not even be real, but the fact that he even said it is proof enough to potential employers that he is willing to spill the beans on stuff like this.

I do sympathize with him though. I hope he's able to get back on his feet.

In case you didn't notice, you're part of the Smash community as well...

Being part of this cesspit of a community doesn't prevent you from criticising it.

 

[Z25]

Sucks to see what happen to Mystic. I thought he didn't need to say more and was fair with his post yesterday/this morning. So its upsetting others forced him into.

He seems like a good guy. Hope he can get better and still get a job.

I think next direct will at 8 November, because it is still the year of the 8 by Nintendo (splatoon 2 and so on). First Smash Direct was 8.8.2018. Next Direct should be originally 7.9. The 8 November is exactly 1 month until release from Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
The release from this switch Super Smash Bros Ultimate Bundle is not a big deal. The game itself is not a part from this yet. So, why casting a Direct on this day?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Tweet you quoted is misinformed. That tweet was from 5 hours ago.

Ah my bad then. Apologies.

 

[NintendoKnight]

Not necessarily, if an employer realizes that one of their employees is willing to behave in a manner that suggests he/she would divulge secretive information ... that could be grounds for discharge. Even if the individual never did such an act, the fact that they tease it or potentially leaked faked information would be wrong.

Certainly if I was in charge of a translation company responsible for handling information not available for the public ... I would want to be sure that my employees behaved in a respectable manner online and not divulge what they do at work.

Ah, there it is. I should have realized that myself. Thank you for the explanation.

Ultimately, the only thing that has been proven about leaks such as this one is that people with inside information are essentially playing with fire. If they don't handle it properly they may get burned.

I hope people stop giving any other insiders crap now. The insiders have been in this game long enough to not say too much when something like this pops up. This is dangerous for many people and actual jobs and reputations are at stake here.

 

[monadoboy]

Still have no idea why so many people are acting like there's a direct coming

 

[Pyra]

We really are a buncha jerks, huh?

I’m the meanest of them all
Some say they wouldn’t touch me with a 39.5 ft pole

 

[Untouch]

So some anon over at 4chan recorded the extra Cleo/Steve footage of Isabelle and Yoshi. Apparently it's just a TV spot that's different than what's online. It's a pretty short clip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGtF37sKKzM

Yeah that's kinda what I thought, odd that this is the first time anyone noticed it.

 

[Ura]

So the community is to blame for a guy that potentially ruined his career for a decision he himself made? No one held a gun to his head. If he knew the risks at all he would've kept his mouth shut.

Yeah while it's horrible what happened to Mystic and I really hope he can rebound through all of this, he willingly leaked this stuff. There's no need to blast the community for this.

 

[JacobLeBeauOFFICIAL]

"Okay guys I'll tell you what my sources have told me to try to clear things up...."

"**** INSIDERS! HE'S BACKPEDDLEING! WHAT A HACK!"


"Well, may have lost my job."




I hate this community sometimes.

You aren't a special snowflake yourself. It's fine if you feel bad that he lost his career, I do too, but don't just throw an entire community under a bus because some people act like this. Emphasis on SOME.

 

[Starbound]

In case you didn't notice, you're part of the Smash community as well...

Yes and we're all part of something that can be downright awful at times.

 

[amazonevan19]

Yup, not something I'm proud about. It's like BDSM it hurt but I like it.

Me coming in to this thread and out again after reading that

 

[Chrollo.]

“We want insiders to be more transparent! We want them to be less vague!”

*Mystic becomes transparent with us and behaves like everybody claims they want an insider to behave but it ends up that it may have costed him his job*

“Oh he should’ve kept his mouth shut then and not have flaunted information around”

Seriously, the **** guys. Do you even think about the **** you post before you do?

Edit: And this isn’t even what aboutism or anything of the sorts either. It’s legitimately the same people who whine about insiders being too vague who are whining about Mystic being too open.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Still have no idea why so many people are acting like there's a direct coming

It's being rumored by sources

 

[Heracr055]

Enough with the ****ing Grinch.
How many more lives and careers are we gonna ruin because we want to know if our stupid puppets and rugs are playable or not?

Technically these people are doing it to themselves by delving into this sort of thing.

Also...let us please take a quick moment to acknowledge that Minecraft was something really special when the beta came out, and offered up something that pretty much no other title had before. It went downhill after all the spells and other things became available, though, and even moreso when it was sold to Microsoft.

Edit: From that Switch commercial we got to see Isabelle's fishing rod miss Yoshi (who jumped over it). It looks like the cooldown on the fishing rod was low

 

[Originality]

We really are a buncha jerks, huh?

Just because some people who like the same thing as us are jerks doesn't mean we're all jerks. The community has some bad apples but literally every community has some bad apples.

 

[ZeldaPlayer87]

The Direct is about to leak? OMG I think I’m going to squirt!

 

[Tart]

Yeah that's kinda what I thought, odd that this is the first time anyone noticed it.

Yeah it's strange, wonder how long they've been airing it? I don't have cable/satellite myself.

It's almost like those are two different groups of people or something.

 

[Gameboi834]

The Direct is about to leak? OMG I think I’m going to squirt!

Why would you post this

 

[Schnee117]

Also at anyone victim blaming Mystic:

You ***** are part of the problem. **** off.

 

[Radical Bones]

We really are a buncha jerks, huh?

Nah, most of us here are doing the right thing, honestly. Don't get caught up in the negativity of it all.

We're mostly passionate Smash Bros fans, but there are plenty of people who take it too far an escalate to aggression.

On both sides.

As long as you keep behaving with respect, you're not a jerk.

With a fanbase this large and this passionate, there are bound to be people who ruin it for everybody.

 

[Pyra]

The Direct is about to leak? OMG I think I’m going to squirt!

Jesus Christ just join the stupid guilt/no guilt conversation
It would be better than what you just said

 

[StrawHatX]

Congratulations guys, we got someone out of a job for some ****ing pixels in a game to be confirmed. Hope you’re proud of yourselves.

I get where you’re coming from, but can we please stop generalizing everyone together for the actions of a few?

I feel very bad for Mystic, and I believe the guy because he sounds sincere and has a good track record. But I didn’t make him leak anything and I didn’t harass him. Some lowlifes did.

Can we not fight amongst ourselves here?

 

[Deleted member]

*sigh*

I don't like the idea of anybody losing their work, but I wish Mystic hadn't replied to anybody.

So the Legend of Zelda TV show possibly is in development right now..

WELL EXXCUUUUUUUSSEE MEEE NINTENDO!

Man, I cannot wait to see Link finally talk like in his TV show right now!

 

[TMNTSSB4]

The Direct is about to leak? OMG I think I’m going to squirt!

...please don’t...

Still have no idea why so many people are acting like there's a direct coming

hunger and thirst for Smash

 

[Luigi The President]

Okay no I'm actually going to NintenZone this time

Hope to god we get a Direct Thursday and this can finally end and we can all be snarky leak buddies again

 

[AreJay25]

Yeah it's strange, wonder how long they've been airing it? I don't have cable/satellite myself.

I literally just saw the ad on TV about an hour ago, if that helps.

 

[Fane]

Anybody care to enlighten me on what happened with Mystic?

 

[Zinith]

The Direct is about to leak? OMG I think I’m going to squirt!

That's disturbing

 

[RandomAce]

Who made their name or an alt account named Eric Bricard?

The internet is full of people that make questionable decisions.

Dude made it for the lols.

It's the internet

I think this community in general needs to stop acting like a "Special snowflake" as you put it.


NO OTHER fighting game franchise goes to this length over character inclusions in their rosters.




There's a reason practically every other FGC thinks Smash is a bunch of manchildren.
