>Ness's dad (a sprite of a telephone) gets an icon
>the Absolutely Safe Capsule gets an icon
>Duster doesn't get an icon

Okay, is there some kind of weird gag going on here?

Spoiler: Spoiler

Master hand being made playable again? I'm down for that it was pretty fun playing as him in Melee

Spoiler

The best part is that Master Hand is playable legitimately now.

GAME SET!

 

[DarthEnderX]

Good for you.

You're probably in the wrong thread then.

Oh yeah. 99.999% of leakers ever have been fakes, but he's PROBABLY wrong...

 

[osby]

GAME SET!

This is going to end just like last time. "OMG, who are we going to get? Banjo, Shovel Knight or Rayman?"

cue Bayonetta and Cloud.

 

[Wiziliz]

I honestly feel like Chrom was the last (non-paid DLC) character added to the game, haha.

If Ryu hadn't leaked he had been just as big shock energy as those two.

I just looked at the old Geno support thread for Brawl to see what Brawl speculation was like back in the day. I gotta say..

were people really that angry that there were only 35 characters?

Duster has one. He was one of the ones shown in the Smash Direct as well.

Sora fans playing Ultimate be like:

 

[JacobLeBeauOFFICIAL]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

O o f

What reason would the team have for purposefully glossing over Porky? I'm expecting something to be planned for him. A boss, a character, maybe even just free spirits and icons added overtime. I just find his absense super strange.

Spoiler

For one, it's fairly clear that Spirit selection was not the rote standardized selection process people are making it out to be. There's weird spirit choices across the board. It's fairly obvious they either

a. Picked characters specifically based on whether or not they could come up with a Spirit battle scenario for them (which would easily explain the absence of characters like Porky and Adeleine who don't have great matches the on the roster)

or

b. The people responsible for Spirits were largely given free reign to pick whatever tickled their fancies because the team wasn't taking PNG selections as seriously as some people here are.


Either way, in Porky's particular case I wouldn't be surprised if he was planned as a boss but was low priority and cut.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Etika is high profile enough that I'd entertain the idea that he MIGHT have gotten an early copy legitimately.

I don't think he's the brightest sometimes, but I don't think he's dumb enough to pirate a big game like that and advertise it either.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Sora fans playing Ultimate be like:

Applies to Geno, DQ, and classic FF fans as well.

Sephiroth is the second worst outcome, only behind Slime.

 

[Shroob]

Not sure where you're going with here. Pretty much everything Verg said would happen, happened.


If we end up getting a SE rep as dlc, that only leaves the fabled MC content.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Duster has one. He was one of the ones shown in the Smash Direct as well.

Do you mean a spirit? He has a spirit, but not a player icon.

Spoiler

At least he gets a spirit tho, Porky gets nothing, which is even weirder with the context of a phone being a player icon. Idk man

EDIT: Celica and Rex don't have icons either, even tho they have spirits (Celica shares them with Alm).

"Villain rep" though.

Seven years between sequels is a long time, it got peoples hopes up.

 

[Deleted member]

Square Enix Fan Playing Ultimate: "Wow! This game is amazing! I hope we get Terra, Sora, Erdrick, Neku, Chrono, Lara Croft or 2B in this game!"
Vergeben:

At this rate, I might go a ****post spree.

 

[Cereal Bawks]

Sephiroth being DLC could mean One Winged Angel comes with him.

 

[A.G.L.]

Literally what it would be like fighting a Sephiroth main user.

Ugh...The Brawl days of speculation. Speculation back then was a straight up mess, people did wanted Geno back then but honestly, the real competition for third parties back then after Snake got revealed was really between Sonic and MegaMan.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Surprisingly, a quick check of GameFAQs yields only one thread about the leaked SE list.

I surely thought they'd be crawling over it by now.

 

[PsySmasher]

Hey guys, remember the good ol' days of Brawl?
-Random tripping
-A CSS that was actually a complete rectangle
-The floaty knocknack
-The "top-notch" platforming in Subspace (don't @ me for this)
-And an 8 year old me thinking that I couldn't play in the "Group" section by myself for like... 2 1/2 years.

... Good times.

Spoiler

Master Hand has been confirmed to be playable during the WoL? That's pretty awesome if true. Only ever saw video for it for Melee so would be nice to get to play it at least once

 

[Ezclapper]

Applies to Geno, DQ, and classic FF fans as well.

Sephiroth is the second worst outcome, only behind Slime.

I promise you it won't be Sephiroth lol that makes not a lot of logical sense and I doubt Nintendo would even attempt to ask for him. There is a reason why not a lot of people talked about him till today. Most likely DQ if I had to guess, I would love Sora though.

 

[SoccerStar9001]

What did Verg do this time?

 

[Flyboy]

Do you mean a spirit? He has a spirit, but not a player icon.

Yeah, I was mixing up icons and Spirits. Sorry about that.

 

[Shroob]

I don't remember the Brawl aftermath fondly.... At all.


While I'm happy with pretty much any roster we get, the time of Brawl's leaks were....dreadful.



People thought Ness was cut due to how the English blog for Lucas was worded.

People discredited ROB entirely.

People thought Game and Watch was a one-and-done gimmick for some reason.

"Mewtwo? Where's Mewtwo?"

"Wolf? Not Krystal? UGH!"


Not fun times.

At this point has thrown the whole allstar 3rd party thing out the window cough cough cough cough

 

[Idon]

Sephiroth being DLC could mean One Winged Angel comes with him.

Yeah but with Bartz Klauser, you'd get Clash on the Big Bridge.

AND THE MIGHTY GILGAMESH.
You can't let down Gilgamesh, man.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Not sure where you're going with here.

I misread your post as "wrong" instead of "wrong thread".

Wow. Sonic and Mega Man? Who won?

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

We were so young back then, we didn't realize, didn't understand. Back then we just based our thoughts and feelings off of the perfect rectangle of 35 characters, we couldn't have known that there were actually thirty-NINE characters. Wolf and Ike were clones, It was a simpler time....

 

[FirestormNeos]

In all honesty, for all the crap I give ya'll, I've been enjoying Ultimate's hype cycle far more then I did Smash 4's.

My favourite moment in Pokemon X and Y was when my Greninja wielded the falchion and single-handedly wiped out Drasna's team.

 

[Deleted member]

AND THE MIGHTY GILGAMESH.

Um.. can have a 30 page report on what the heck that is by Tuesday

 

[RyuhoFox]

Id argue that a lot of people not talking about Sephi till today came a great deal from the SE is stingy argument more than anything. Along with not thinking we would get a second character from the same series and possibly some bias mixed in where there are other characters like Geno people are hungry for.

Honestly outside Geno and Sora and something DQ not much came up for conversation for SE reps. Even then I do recall Tifa and Sephiroth at least being mentioned a couple times before this.

 

[osby]

People thought Game and Watch was a one-and-done gimmick for some reason.

"There's no way R.O.B. will return, everyone hated him."

"So, we can all agree that Wii Fit Trainer is the first to be cut."

One day...

 

[Idon]

The only thing I remember from Brawl speculation was that Lyn wasn't in it.
I was SO certain that the Lord of "Fire Emblem" as they called it would get in.

****in' hours lost replaying FE7 making a moveset for her.

 

[SoccerStar9001]

Can someone show me where Verg is claiming Sephiroth or something? I am really lost here.
