Hmmm. Fans of Pokémon! Which Pokémon would you consider part of the “core cast” who are missing from Smash?

Does this Sabi have credibility? I know they are supposedly a Microsoft insider but I have personally never heard of them until they started saying Banjo is in Smash...which is probably the reason we are seeing this person now.

Sabi was PolarPanda on here, and actually has a source who is a Nintendo Ambassador. That's all I know, though, aside from some things she's leaked and gotten right. She has a friend at Nintendo who's friends with the ambassador, and she knows the ambassador as well; both give her info - this is all if things haven't changed, as I don't receive the things she hears personally, since I'm not part of her Discord nor have I ever sent her private messages or anything. She has verified her Nintendo source with some users on this website, however, and I know nothing about whether she has sources elsewhere or not.

She doesn't know if Banjo is in Smash or not; she thinks it could happen but isn't going all-in, the main rumor from her some people on here care about is Rare Replay being on the Switch (which she isn't going all-in on either, but seems more confident in it).

dont remind me that time is going fast

Wanna hear a shocker?
It's almost one year since Smash Ultimate got revealed.

 

[Aurane]

Merry Christmas everyone.

 

[Teeb147]

Thanks for the warning! See y'all till E3.

If she says a day before, it wont be yet, but if ever you feel you need to bow out when leaks start showing up, i dont blame you ;p
Im not sure what im gonna do myself yet, but i figure they're not going to know everything anyway, so we'll see.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I've heard they nerfed Wolf Blaster, how bad was it?

 

[Erureido]

For Attack on Titan fans, I was reading on the Shingeki no Kyojin wiki that the final arc of the manga has either begun or is about to begin. Is this true?

I haven't been into AoT for a while, but I've heard that the story keeps getting better and better, even after the Krista

Historia is royalty

arc, so I'm thinking about picking up the series again.

Erureido You might know

My apologies for the late reply since I just logged in, but to answer your question, the final arc in the manga is basically on the verge of beginning. The current manga arc feels like part 1 of the final arc, though part 2 might be short. I don't want to spoil the specifics to better explain, but you'll understand what I mean when you reach that arc.

And yes, I can attest to the series getting better and better! Plenty of interesting revelations have happened in the series that made the story even more interesting, the characters have developed even further, and there is even some engaging political intrigue! The Battle for Wall Maria arc, the arc that immediately follows the Uprising arc, is widely considered to be the best arc in the series by the AoT community, and it's also the arc that is currently being adapted in the anime right now. That arc is also when the long-awaited basement twist happens.

Spoiler: Going into a bit more detail about that

Without spoiling what is, let's just say the basement twist is quite the shocking reveal and is what really makes the story bring in a whole new level of engaging! It also paves the way to reveal the backstories of some characters we've known for some time, and it may change your opinions on them in a good way (I know it did for me!).

I should also mention the anime adaptation actually made some changes to the Uprising arc, mainly reordering some of the events and cutting some scenes here and there to improve the pacing of that arc from the manga. You could consider watching that arc in the anime and re-reading that part of the manga to see which did that part of the story better. As for the current arc the anime is covering now, that one has been a 100% faithful adaptation of the manga.

That's about it I can say regarding where the series is now without going into too much spoilers because it's obviously best you go into the story without being spoiled, but yeah, that's my recommendation.

I've heard they nerfed Wolf Blaster, how bad was it?

It's slower by about 3 frames. so not as spammable, but it'll still probably be a good option in neutral.

 

[Metal Shop X]

*See patch notes*

*See Ken got buff hard*

*Remember about old posts about how Ken being bad just suck due to no Daigo Parry in high level*

Is...is this the power of the Monado?

Also, sup guys.

Thoughts on this?

It’s got potential. The concept is kind of neat.

Chris Pratt and Tom Holland in the main roles makes this have a lot more potential though. Could make for a good duo.

I heard from the Smash Discords that Pichu got slaughtered by nerfs

Bigger hurtbox and all of their moves deal more damage to itself

 

[staindgrey]

Seems that way.

Seeing the buffs some characters got though, I'm no longer as happy about Corrin's buffs last patch. None of those buffs had any major effect in how she plays and this time she got nothing.

Low tier for life.

Looks interesting and I like Holland and Pratt, but trailer was kinda bland. I hope the next trailer is better.

Yeah the Discord was rejoicing when they saw that Pichu and Olimar are easier to hit now. I'm kinda sad that I didn't pick up Pichu before the patch, Pichu pre patch was like god's punishment on earth. But hearing this news makes me breath a little easier. Hope they fixed the bair too that chained so well it broke me yesterday when I fought one of the best Pichu mains on the Discord.

 

[Z25]

Yeah it’s only a teaser so they didn’t give much.

Kind of reminds me of the coco teasers. Where we got a decent look at the world but not the story until the first official trailer. Then the movie starting gaining steam. I’ll be watching for news on this for sure.

 

[Mic_128]

The patch added the ability for amiibo (figure players) to join arenas.

Ahh, thanks! Was hard to actually find, since most places were gushing about the VR news.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Don't make any mistake: Pichu is still a monster, he's just finally been anchored for mere mortals to have a chance against him. Likely not gonna be worse than high tier if we suddenly decide he's not top tier worthy anymore.

Also, as for more Mario Maker news: Nintendo's embargo strangely mentions "You may only feature the playable characters Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Toadette." A bit strange to specify this, huh?

We may indeed have unlockable characters. Only time will tell, of course. Just brace yourselves if there aren't any unlockable characters so the disappointment hits less.

 

[Deleted member]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Uhh, might be a good to hide in the bunker now if you don't want to get spoiled on new games, since E3 spoilers are going to be coming very soon!

Polar Panda is taking a big risk here.

 

[Alicorn]

Come what may then.

I love fantasy settings and creatures, so I'm really intrigued by the idea here. I'm not sold on it quite yet, but it's still Pixar...there's a good chance it'll be more interesting then the first trailer shows.

Not that Pixar isn't immune to mishaps, but I'm still optimistic about it. I expect it to be decent at worst.

So a new Japanese Indie World video went up.
Confirmed June release date for Cadence of Hyrule
And Shovel Knight DLC for Just Shapes and Beats

Lot of stuff going for this rumour then.

Yeah this is looking pretty real.

...But can I just say I hate it when a leaker mixes in speculation with what they have to say? Even if they admit they don't have any sources backing it up, it still adds to the confusion about what's real and what isn't.

This says nothing about Erdrick/Banjos chances, but people are still going to use it a point for Banjo just because this guy is perceived as more "credible".

Cough cough Grovyle

I heard from the Smash Discords that Pichu got slaughtered by nerfs

Primarily the increased his self damage and hurtbox size.

So he's easier to hit and reaches kill% sooner

That means everything in this leak is now confirmed. They never said to know anything about Smash and the rest is done

Cadence of Hyrule just got officially announced for June.

VR Plant leaker is.... well they're pretty much legit at this point.


Damn shame they didn't know anything about Smash.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

For whatever reason my big stupid gut is telling me there’ll be a dual reveal of Steve and Banjo.

Or just a dual reveal, with one being released right after or shortly after E3, and the other being slated for late summer or early fall.

only good thing Bout it being those two is I get to save money

Yeah?

Well the other day

Blasting down the highway was a guy on one of those bikes where you lean back on.... inside of a paper mache-looking thing that looked like a lima bean, with a glass or plastic dome for his head on the top of it.


Everyone was stunned, but burst out laughing after he zoomed by at like 50mph.

Today's Three Houses twitter bio is for Lysithea.

"The eldest daughter of the Earl of Cordelia. Of all the students who entered the military academy this year, she's the youngest at 15. She excells at magic and is a young genius, but that doesn't mean she gets complacent. She gets angry when she gets treated as a kid and hates monsters, so she has a childish side to her!"

Spoiler: Leak Content

Considering it specifically says she hates monsters, the story aspects of the leak are coming true now too...

Also due to what she says in her second picture blurb, it basically confirms the other students are 17-18, firmly placing them at college freshman age (in case people still thought it was High School Emblem).

 

[ZephyrZ]

One time while on a road trip, my family got stranded in this little town called Wickenburg due to car issues.

Turns out that on the exact day we got stranded there, they were having a horse parade. So that was a neat (and smelly) little experience I had.

 

[Deleted member]

Can't blame you honestly. I'm staying, but man have things gotten hectic.

Anyway, best of luck out there!

It's not because of that, don't worry.

Why you leaving, exactly?

Man, this place just keeps getting smaller. Best of luck out there.

Honestly, as rude as this will sound, I've really just lost interest.

Is there any mention of balance changes with the patch? I guess maybe we have to wait for news from nintendo..



Didn't know you very well, but if you think that's best for you, take care of yourself but visit back whenever you want.

Thanks!

Aw, really? Sorry to hear that. Feel free to come back any time.

Thanks! x2

This is real sad. I wish you the best on your future endeavors.

Why is this sad? lol I didn't contribute much. xD

Well that stink, hope you the best wherever you go, man.

Thanks! x3
