Jesus 272 guests
Wonder why

 

[RandomAce]

Woah! So many guests!

HELLO GUESTS! IT IS I, KING NOIPOI!

Seriously why so many guests viewing?

Jesus, is that why Smashboards hasn’t been slowing down lately?

Did something big happen that we’re not aware of?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Maybe because the next Smash Direct has been announced and we haven't looked it up yet.

 

[Zinith]

Best make a good impression while they're here

 

[Noipoi]

Don't worry fair guests. I, President King Noipoi, will ensure everyone here is on their best behavior for the duration of your stay.


So uh...howzabout dem leaks?

 

[Iko MattOrr]

Best make a good impression while they're here

What about another round of the Box vs Blog theory flame war?

 

[Fenriraga]

Pretty sure it's just because we tend to be quick as nails finding and discussing leaks, fake or... Ken.

A lot of em are probably just keeping the tab open in case something neat happens.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Looks like the guests are going down.

 

[NextChannelGames]

Guest? Welp friends it seems like we might actually get Minecraft in Smash with all these... Text Messages that get posted.

Sora might be the real rep then Geno because I felt he is more... we’ll known but hey it would be awesome to have both.

 

[Shroob]

I think it's because r/smashbros caught wind of that predictions dude from a few pages back.

Prediction dude? What was it that he predicted

 

[PK-remling Fire]

I've been offline for the last two days, did something big happen?

 

[Polan]

holy **** almost 300 guests. did something happen or what?

 

[Starbound]

I think it's because r/smashbros caught wind of that predictions dude from a few pages back.

The Twitter guy that Blue brought up?

 

[Jchrono95]

Just need one current guest to maybe make an account and speak up

Edit: current peak is 288

 

[Shroob]

Prediction dude? What was it that he predicted

He supposedly predicted a lot of the reveals, and his final newcomer list is:

Ken
Incineroar
Shadow
Steve
and Geno as the first DLC character

Huh, not bad choices really. Though I think the SE rep would definitely make sense being DLC from these rumors the past month.

 

[RandomAce]

I think it's because r/smashbros caught wind of that predictions dude from a few pages back.

Oh yeah, him!

He kinda died off a lot faster here than I expected, after in one of this tweets he included percentages in his “leak”, it basically gave the impression that he is only speculating at this point. Not to mention that his recent “leaks” are basically what people have been talking about at the moment. There isn’t any merit to him right now, and if he is right... aren’t those what most people were predicting anyways?

EDIT: The thread count went from 261 to 207 after my post. I’m a leak slayer!

 

[Shroob]

Yep, the thread on r/smashbros links right here, so:

*Ahem*


HI REDDIT

 

[Dcas]

We really, really need a direct. This drought of official news is pure madness.

 

[Shroob]

We really, really need a direct. This drought of official news is pure madness.

Bruh, this ain't nothing.

June to August was way worse.


We at least got Isabelle 2 weeks ago.



I want a Direct the first or second week of October like no one's business, but this ain't nothing compared to the first drought.

 

[PLATINUM7]

We really, really need a direct. This drought of official news is pure madness.

It hasn't even been a month since the Direct with Isabelle.

 

[Midget Master]

I do prefer to get my Smash info from Sakurai. You know it's always clean. When you get it off those random guys on the Internet, you never know what kind of stuff they might be lacing it with. Need me some Directs.

 

[Dcas]

It hasn't even been a month since the Direct with Isabelle.

I mean something substancial, something like the august direct. Mostly that they announce everything thats missing so these fake leaks can come to an end. Its fun to speculate based on solid data but at this point, people are literally speculating over written leaks by randoms lol.

 

[Shroob]

It hasn't even been a month since the Direct with Isabelle.

I get where he's coming from though.


Yeah, we got Isabelle and I'm mucho grateful to have her, but... it's been an entire two months since the last Smash Direct, and there's really nothing 'new' to discuss.



I think deep down, a lot of us want the next Direct to just stake a whole bunch of these theories, leaks and fan rules in the heart and be done with it already.

That's always been the case. DaybreakHorizon can vouch for that

 

[Jchrono95]

I mean asside from Isabelle being confirmed as a character there really hasn't been anything to discuss. And with Isabelle there wasn't much to discuss.

 

[ZenythSmash]

I personally prefer Celica over Black Knight tbh

Celica could be a Robin semi clone with a Pichu like self damage gimmick instead of using up tomes

i think both would be excellent
imagine the super armor frames

 

[Shroob]

The way I look at it, the sooner we can kneecap all these goddamn theories and fan rules, the happier we'll all be.


At this point, I too subscribe to the nihilist theory, because all theories are obnoxious and bull****.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Can confirm. Speculation is heavily driven by "leaks" and vice versa. It's really an interesting relationship.

[N3ON]

Drought? Lacking something substantial? That's insane and insatiable, we got six newcomer reveals in the last two months. You know the last time we got six newcomer reveals in the span of two months? That's right, it was never.

Just... take a breath. You guys will never be satisfied if learning of 73 characters and 103 stages in the last four months seems inconsequential.

 

[ZenythSmash]

Also, Verg does seem to be unravelling a bit on Smashboards and is being overall very defensive.

This topic for example
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77040303

Some are comparing it to loz, although I don't really have much opinion on the matter

FAQS is a ****hole
i keep asking him to just leave there and stick to reddit or start a little blog with a comment section open but **** man. having to deal with stalkers and blantant crosssite posters from 4chan /v/ because he rumored a character.
i hope Hitagi doesn't have to deal with this nonsense either

I don't think it's even wanting 'new' info as much as it is wanting satisfaction of seeing stuff like the music theory or blog theory put six feet under.


I don't know about the rest of you, but:

I'm ready for the speculation cycle to be over.

Do you have cookies?

I only join groups based on how abundant their cookie stocks are.

 

[Zinith]

I'm not a "Nihilist," I'm a "Skeptic." There's a difference...

As a chocolate chip cooke connoisseur, I can assure you that we have an abundant amount of cookies. Top quality too.

Nihilist theory is also great because with it, you can believe whatever the **** you want. You don't need evidence. Who needs that? Just believe what you want to believe and disregard all of the false profits.

Guests, I implore you to disregard these false profits. Box theory, Blog theory, Music theory, Chair theory, all are built on circumstantial data that is impossible to prove. Do not believe in their lies. Instead, believe in your own truth, and you shall not be disappointed.

All leaks exist on purpose
No character is guaranteed
Everyone's gonna get leaked
Come play Smash

 

[PK-remling Fire]

At this point I'm really only going to take image leaks seriously. These weird theories and many many text leaks just ain't cutting it for me anymore

 

[Jchrono95]

See the theories were fun to keep in my head but I never really took them completely seriously, and at this point with all the animosity around them I think everyone will be better off if they just all turn out to be wrong.

 

[ZenythSmash]

Well I can honestly say is that in regard to music theory after Dark Samus:

That leaves two theories remaining: Box Theory and Blog Theory.

Box Theory needs to be killed ASAP, because I find it so stupid since it mentions that we would get final 2 newcomers.

as for Blog Theory, I have nothing to say about it.

the box theory will die once we see Minecraft content in Ultimate
