No one said you had to believe the new leak, we were saying you can’t discount the other actual leakers.
There isn’t much for this rumor right now but people were having fun discussing.

your free to an opinion, but when there’s actual facts backing people like verge and want not you can’t say it’s fake because that makes invalid when they have already been right 10 times over

Actual facts? Guessing something happening is not facts. People guess all the time. Some do better then others.

Alright answer this then.

how tf did verge guess the entire roster minus like two characters?
Because you don’t get that lucky

Smash u, smash4. I forgot what he was important for.

 

[Z25]

Smash u, smash4. I forgot what he was important for.

What?

verge wasn’t around for smash four for one.
Two are you talking Sal Romano? He was also very right and arguing he wasn’t would be pretty ignorant

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Sigh.

Vergeben had (I can't speak to now) a source that leaked him that Ridley, Snake, and Ice Climbers were in Smash Ultimate. That came true.

Simon Belmont leaked because of Nintendo, but Vergeben had been saying that for months ahead of time anyway.

Dark Samus, Richter, and K.Rool did not leak. Not sure about Chrom.

Piranha Plant leaked, but nobody believed it. Incineroar and Ken absolutely leaked.

Like it's one thing if you don't believe a picture leak. More power to you! However, the whole "Insider" thing? Yeah, that's real. People get stuff leaked to them because of who they know and they may share it with a small group of people.

Insiders knew the Grinch Leak was fake since it leaked. It made them question their sources a tad, but I can say that cross-referencing sources happened quite a bit, and that's how it was figured out among "insiders" (yes, even from this very board) that Grinch leak was a hoax. For Wii U, it was leaked to a few other people and myself that Mii Fighters were coming with Palutena and Pac-Man at that particular E3 event.

Nintendo leaks stuff all the time. To think people don't get that sort of information aside from public leaks is underestimating the movement of that sort of information.

For the record, Sal Romano was correct but outdated. I know this, again, because of people I know. I'm just posting this because I can say that it happens...it happened to me.

 

[Lamperouge]

I don't care for a single character in that "leaked" pass.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Would the Fortnite building mechanic even work in Smash? Don’t give the typical “Sakurai made this happen so he can do anything” response, I legit want to see if there’s a way to incorporate that and balance it for Smash.

Theoretically, yes. Maybe down special could select four or so different types of blocks to place, sorta like Shulk's neutral special, and then he can place one at a time down with his neutral special. It'd be a bit gimmicky, but a character that can manipulate the environment around him would be interesting.

Tbf on the last party everyone assumed that because it made most sense logically. It baffles me that people still don’t believe it was real though.

And?

I didn't care for a single ************ until Terry got on screen.

 

[Z25]

jonsey using building would interesting actually. He could place a wall to block shots or keep the spacing(maybe include editing walls?).

you could use ramps and stuff too to really change up his movement potential. That would actually be kind of fun to see though. It might be hard to manage and balance but if done right would be pretty unique

 

[Hinata]

Nintendo leaks stuff all the time.

Hell, half of our current DLC roster was leaked ahead of time by Nintendo just screwin' up.

 

[PF9]

I wonder how popular Incineroar is at universities with Tigers as a nickname (like Auburn, Clemson, LSU, and Missouri).

 

[Lamperouge]

And?

Alright.

 

[Will]

Richter is the only baby that somehow made it out unscathed.

Oh and I guess Chrom too, but no one really expected Fire Emblem #7

Alright.

I'm glad we understand.

 

[SneakyLink]

I say the leak is fake...

because it doesn't have Otto Matic!

 

[Lamperouge]

I'm glad we understand.

Wasn't the removal of Ike's "Chrom alt" from Smash 4 a pretty obvious sign that Chrom would be added? Same with Dark Samus.

 

[Hinata]

Wasn't the removal of Ike's "Chrom alt" from Smash 4 a pretty obvious sign that Chrom would be added? Same with Dark Samus.

The real hint came from the fact that they refused to show us Robin's Final Smash.

And then Chrom ended up still being a part of it anyway.

 

[SneakyLink]

Wasn't the removal of Ike's "Chrom alt" from Smash 4 a pretty obvious sign that Chrom would be added? Same with Dark Samus.

Dark Samus yes.
For Chrom, I remember it being along the lines of "They didn't show Robin's Final Smash yet which means Chrom is in!"
Guess where that led?

Watch Kazuya or Augumon get leaked by something stupid like, an early amiibo listing or the website getting updated accidentally.

Nah watch it be KOS-MOS instead.

 

[SneakyLink]

Y'know I'm half considering writing this Fanfic where Ed Edd and Eddy go to Galar but I don't know if I should...

What I need is motivation. Maybe I should make a bet or something...

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

From what I'm reading on GameFAQS, there's talk that it's a joke and that Sabi is making fun of it.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Where's Vergeben when you need him.

 

[Aurane]

From what I'm reading on GameFAQS, there's talk that it's a joke and that Sabi is making fun of it.

much shock. very wow.

 

[SneakyLink]

Where's Vergeben when you need him.

Vergeben is like those Genies you see on reality TV.

He appears only when unnecessary.

 

[PeridotGX]

From what I'm reading on GameFAQS, there's talk that it's a joke and that Sabi is making fun of it.

and just when I was getting really confident in Maxwell

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Where's Vergeben when you need him.

I have the urge to make this into a Larry-Boy meme. But images are broken.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Oh wow, I didn’t know Epic Games literally killed their own game. Apparently Fortnite isn’t even in their own store; and they deleted every tweet of theirs?

Weird marketing flex, but okay.

edit: they didn’t remove their retweets, though...and I just found it in the store, so idk, I guess people were wrong, though idk if people can run the game or anything. The store was also automatically in a different language for some reason :S

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Write a plot for Sonic Adventure 3.

The only requirements are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, and a new hedgehog must be involved. Anything else is fair game.

Go!

ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS!

Spoiler

Story: This is going to be a game that has darker themes set up like Forces, but actually executes them properly. As in, the stakes are both 1.) high, and 2.) they actually FEEL high at the same time. There are also going to be mini-arcs that connect into one big arc, just like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, especially 2. Here's the basic premise: Eggman wins. Against all odds, Eggman ends up winning and is able to hold Sonic captive while he builds his Eggman Empire once more. In order to capture Sonic and win in the first place, a strange life-form falls to earth (a hedgehog like creature), who has no memory of who they are. And on a side note, NO... nobody confuses Sonic for this new hedgehog character in this game. Confusing Sonic with Shadow was the biggest plot hole in SA2's story, and it makes no sense in the first place. The "confusing Sonic for someone" else shtick is dead and will stay dead. Anyway, Eggman brainwashes this new hedgehog into capturing Sonic. Said Hedgehog also is sensitive to the Chaos Emerald power, and Eggman has never seen anything like it. He capitalizes on this and harnesses this power through the new hedgehog (we'll call him "Nu" for now) in order to capture Sonic and get that final emerald... Eggman has 6 emeralds at the start of the story and needs the 7th, which is currently in the hands of Sonic. Sonic busts down the door and tries to fight Eggman, but Eggman has brainwashed Nu into doing his bidding by now. Sonic loses, and is captured. Eggman takes the final emerald from him and uses it to build his empire once more. Knuckles is the one to head up the "resistance" just like in Forces, but Tails will serve as his best and top adviser concerning freeing Sonic, as opposed to the unsure dead weight he was in Forces. They end up pulling off a prison break a while down the timeline, but Eggman is two steps ahead for once. By the time they're able to free Sonic, Eggman has already scattered the Emeralds all around the world. The entire globe is riddled with his henchmen robots, and he's built stronger robots than ever in order to guard each and every Chaos Emerald. The OTHER caveat in his plan is that he shattered each and every Chaos Emerald. So, not only are they gonna be tough to grab in the first place, but they must be re-assembled as well. It's up to the OG 3... Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles in order to save the globe from Eggman's empire and to restore peace and balance to the Force... I mean, their home planet.

Gameplay: The main draw that I have to the Adventure games is that there are so many different playstyles, which adds to the uniqueness of the games! But, the one flaw I have with this design is that certain gameplay modes aren't always well-designed. Example: In Adventure 2, the speed stages with Sonic and Shadow are fantastic. Tails and Eggman can be fun on the mech stages, but are typically longer and a little more unfair. And, treasure hunting with Knuckles and Rouge is good overall... but only for the first half of their stories. So, you have one gameplay/stage type that's consistently great, one that's pretty good but not as polished, and one that is, well... mixed at best from fans, we'll say. So, in order to make gameplay work in SA3 things need to be fun, straightforward, functional, and not cheap. Here's how it'll be split up:

Each of the OG three will have 7 stages to work through as they split up and search the globe for the missing Chaos Emerald shards. Unique, new stages as well. With the 7 emeralds, each emerald will be split into 3 pieces... meaning a total of 21 pieces to collect. Sonic must collect 7, Tails must collect 7, and Knuckles must collect 7.

Sonic- Speed stages. Stage 1 is the "prison break" stage, and the following 6 stages are all on his own path. It's what he does best: fun, fast platforming. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Knuckles- Treasure hunting stages. Stage 1 he'll be paired with Tails in order to free Sonic. Both Knuckles and Tails collect pieces along the way. After that, he goes off on his own to collect the other 6 pieces. Here's where things get a little different: while he still has treasure hunting in his stages, the landscape and length will fit the perfect timeframe: not too short yet not too long. Along with that, we are also bringing back the radar from SA ONE, not two. Two's radar gets wonky, but SA1's is typically more accurate. So, SA1's radar is brought back. Knuckles will also have the best music and most immersive stages since they'll be the slowest. It'll help with experience.

Tails- Tails is a weird case because while I don't mind the mech shooting from SA2, it wasn't received well by many fans. The mech stages got 50-50 reviews. So, here's how SA3 will be different: Tails will have sections where he must collect parts in order to build a machine in order to obtain an objective or to get through an area. It's similar to Legend of Zelda in the way that Tails' levels will have more puzzle solving than Knuckles or Sonic. However, these "puzzle sections" will be shorter than the speed sections... that's right, we're mixing together fast-paced platforming in with just little bits and pieces of puzzle game elements. The mix needs to be appropriate enough to still feel like a Sonic game, but the puzzle sections must be interesting enough to keep the audience engaged, while also having a good payoff in the end. Example: assemble three parts to form a bomb. Place the bomb right next to an otherwise unbreakable wall. Inside that otherwise unbreakable wall is an extra life, or a special stage, or even an emerald piece, etc.

To summarize: Sonic has 7 levels, Knuckles has 7 levels, and Tails has 7 levels. The final boss and true ending can only be obtained after all 21 Chaos Emerald pieces are collected.

Ranking system: Getting a good enough rank on a level may land the player rewards and unlockables. The difficulty will also be fair: SA2's ranking system, as cool as it was, got really hard sometimes. Unfair, even. But in SA3, it'll be different. The difficulty will be closer to Heroes and Unleashed where it's tricky to get an S or A rank, but it doesn't feel nigh-impossible. Speaking of rewards and unlockables...

Chao Garden: It's back. Rejoice. And with a couple extra modes thrown into the mix as well.

Stage names: Thought this would be cool to do. I aim for variety in themes. In finding the emerald pieces, each character goes in a different direction. Here are some ideas I had:

Sonic:
1. Silver Citadel (prison break level)
2. Coastal Cove (tropical, for nostalgia sake and also because I can't think of anything else right now)
3. Rickety Ride (a mine cart level like in the DKC games but with added rails and canyon sections like Rail Canyon)
4. Arid Altitude (desert level with sky-high dunes and sand... that's rough, coarse, irritating, and it gets everywhere )
5. Snow Stop (A winter-y, Christmas-themed level with treacherous icy slopes and ski resorts)
6. Wilderness Way (A forest level with enemies that are stranger and more irritating than ever)
7. Eggman Eternal (An ancient ruins like area similar to Chaos Angel from Advance 3 that looks relatively in-tact but all of the colors and themes of the area are... off, due to Eggman's corruption of the place. This is to get the player motivated to take on the final boss soon enough. Also takes inspiration from Titanic Monarch once you get to the center of the level)

He will also most certainly have rival battles with Nu throughout.

Knuckles:
1. Silver Citadel (prison break level)
2. Carnival Chaos (see Casino Night and Carnival Night, but there are both day and night sections. Rotating cycle of day and night if you will)
3. Fire Frenzy (A volcano level filled with traps and janky stuff)
4. Tropical Trouble (Jungle level)
5. Aquatic Alcove (water level, but without rising and lowering water like Aquatic mine. It'll feel closer to Death chamber)
6. Archaic Alley (a beautiful ancient ruins area in broad daylight that used to be in good condition but is now wrecked. Think Greek ruins)
7. Rocket Rage (inspired by Egg Rocket from Advance 1. Probably the hardest level on here, and aptly named as well)

Tails:
1. Silver Citadel (prison break level)
2. Windy Wave (an air-borne/wind level that has a mix of a mining level type and a cavern level type. Tails will be flying the plane at one point or another)
3. Skyscraper Scramble (a city level set at night, with bright flashy lights all around)
4. Harvest Hill (autumn-themed level with gorgeous leaves falling and all that good harvest stuff)
5. Destruction Derby (a junkyard that has seen better days)
6. Virtual Vice (technology base that has machinery that's unbelievable. Think Cyber Track from Advance 3 or your favorite sci-fi movie)
7. Sky Sprint (cloud/heights level)

Bonus Levels: To play in time trial and for leisure once you get some unlockable requirements completed:

Sonic- Green Hill
Knuckles- Pumpkin Hill
Tails- Casino Night

Final Level: Cosmic Collision. The trio beat a powered up Eggman and peace is restored. Nu is freed from his brainwashing and joins up with the heroes as well in order to take down Eggman once more.

This post took me about 45 minutes to write. You're welcome.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm just going to ignore this rumor until something new about it pops up.

 

[SneakyLink]

Is it sad I'm actually serious about the crossover to the point I picked a starter and two other 'Mon for each Ed?

Perhaps the rest of Smashboards could pick the teams with the following restrictions in mind:

Ed will definitely catch:
-Grookey
-Ralts
-Wooper

Edd will catch:
-Scorbunny (would've had Ed catch it but he's allergic)
-Honedge
-Koffing (will evolve into Galar Weezing)

Eddy:
-Sobble
-Corviknight
-Machop

All of them would also get one Dynamax Pokémon each.

I mean its already fake to begin with if it says Claire will get in over freakin Jill or Leon.

Ed would definitely catch any Pokemon that looks like a chicken or monkey.
Edd's a bug, plant, and technology enthusiast, so he'd definitely have a lot of intriguing grass, bug, and electric types.
Eddy gets his starter and immediately catches as many Meowth as he can so they can use Payday over and over again.

 

[Rangez]

Speaking of, I wouldn't exactly mind having Leon in the roster. Not because he applies to the "Nintendo-console connection" rule (a rule at this point should be dead in the water but speculators still keep bringing it into prominence.), but just to have someone else from Resident Evil other than Chris and/or Jill in a crossover fighting title. It also helps that he's a fan-favorite character in his home series.

Yes for Ed, also anything that looks like a mutant (hence Ralts and Wooper).
Edd I did consider him getting Grookey but I remembered Ed is allergic to rabbits (but he doesn't mind it. Or anything).
I can definitely see Eddy doing that, but if there's no Meowth to catch, then he has to win battles for money.

Alright then, let's make a bet. If I win, you have to keep writing your fanfic. If you wn, I'll get back to mine.

now what to bet on?

Bet cancelled, I'll write it anyways.

I'm not sure about the rest of the Cul-de-sac. Maybe that's what the bet can entail? The entire teams of the Cul-de-sac?

Just no legendaries please? I don't wanna pull a Tobais here.

No that’d be Sarah.
