SSB4 Rumours and Leaks

[RODO]

Wow...the hype is real guys. And I think Sakurai took everyone wanting more female reps a little too seriously.

 

[PLATINUM7]

So any leaks say viridi is playable? If so the pic of the day says otherwise.

 

[PreacherDudeRox]

It'd be hilarious if tomorrow another character leak pops up. I'm not sure what we'd do with ourselves. "AAAHHH!! AHHHH! WHAT'S GOING ON!?!"

Not sure how I'd react.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Viridi is in the daily pic. HE KNOWS!!!!!!!

 

[Johnknight1]

Man, Virdii, female characters notices, and this Palutena image controversy=???

This is either a perfect storm or Sakurai knows crap is going down the toilet.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but Game explain already has a vid posted on the Palutena rumor/leak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSTDXDFkC4k

That actually had good analysis.

 

[AEMehr]

As for Kirby... well... nothing's really changed!!!

That moment in the brawl trailer still gets to me.

Edit: Sakurai just pulled a troll move!!!!

THE PLOT THICKENS

The Kid Icarus coincidence is strange...

 

[Radical Bones]

Sakurai is the biggest troll. Viridi in today's picture. He has to know!

 

[Banjodorf]

Well then.

Adding Viridi to the list of things that are NPCs and therefore do not have outlines.

...I think he knows...

Holy ****!!

 

[SmashShadow]

Sakurai just happens to update Miiverse with a picture of Viridi. The plot thickens...

 

[PWN3]

Sakurai just won the entire Internet. I don't even care, this was beautiful.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Palutena pictures around internet, Sakurai reveals Viridi in background


I love it,

 

[SlickWylde]

What's interesting is the real pic looks fake, like I bet you could analyze it and "disprove" it. haha (I know it's not, my point is that it's almost impossible to disprove that "leaked" picture, because even official ones have weird looking things in them)

Very true - when it was first posted here, I thought it was a joke.

They should have used Samus instead.

THE PLOT THICKENS

The plot doesn't thicken, it expands.

Seriously, he might have even done this on purpose, and by that I mean the leak, the acknowledgement of the leak, and the likes. This is a master troll, after all.

He wants the attention, and I think, come E3, he's gonna get it, and hype these 2 games up to high hell, heaven, and Hanky Panky Land.

 

[Banjodorf]

See I'm still of the opinion this whole thing was his doing.

It's just...too good...

Well, that certainly makes Palutena's chances look great (they were great anyway.) Man she has a good potential model.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Well you know what we were saying. If it isn't today, it's coming another time in the future like a press event or anniversary.

 

[AEMehr]

They should have used Samus instead.

But Kirby is like main character!!!
(it's funnier with kirby anyways, wouldn't have the same charm without the pink puffball looking at his redesigned comrades in confusion)

The plot doesn't thicken, it expands.

much like dong

 

[Johnknight1]

Well then.

You think he knows=??? I know he knows.

He's been hinting at Viridi being a NPC since around August. This has been coming for nearly half a year, and he reveals it NOW of all times, with the 2 other somewhat realistic female characters who aren't under 500 pounds of armor. Seriously guys, it's as if Sakurai let this happen. That or this man had this update for later, and moved it up. Or, more likely, he's a wizard Harry.

 

[Banjodorf]

At the latest I expect to see her at the direct in March. So there's that.

Now if there's a Direct friday, what they'll show still has me extreme intrigued.

It's just...too good...

Well, that certainly makes Palutena's chances look great (they were great anyway.) Man she has a good potential model.

I think this whole thing was of his doing. I mean, he's de facto confirmed several characters already, specifically the Ice Climbers and Captain Falcon, who haven't been confirmed as playable yet. Why not create some sort of "is it real? is it not?" hype. He did this by trolling Ridley fans, and now he's doing it by de facto confirming Palutena.

Guys, I think the time for pessimism is over. Expect this to be confirmed by the end of E3, FOR REAL!!!!

The era of the leak is upon us... and Sakurai and us hardcore fans are okay with this. In fact, we embrace it.

LET THE FLOODGATES FOR LEAKS FLOW WITH TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE, AND LET THE ROSTER ROLL FREE OUT THE GATES!!!

Sakurai... I think unleashing like a dozen characters at E3 (mostly veterans with maybe 1-3 newcomers) is the way to go. Just open stuff up, and let it be FREEEEE!!!!!

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

I don't think he let it happen, but this feels a bit odd to be a coincidence. He can't out and out post Palutena (you don't want to reward leaks), but this feels like he's letting us know that "yeah, that was a leak. I know about it."


...or, you know, it could genuinely be a coincidence.

 

[Johnknight1]

I love it,

My reaction to all of this summed up in a song:

 

[Nintendotard]

If anything Palutena's scheduled release just got postponed xD

This is the second time I hear Falcon was already confirmed by Sakurai, I think it was on an interview or something, could someone please link me that interview?

 

[loganhogan]

Viridi knows Zelda's and Rosalina's secret that they're lesbians she just caught them.

 

[PreacherDudeRox]

Yeah, now that you mention it - not rewarding leakers would lead me to believe it's a coincidence.

3 goddesses in one stage there's only 1 goddess missing I feel very confident about Palutena now.

 

[Banjodorf]

Now here's hoping I don't wake up tomorrow and find out this whole thing was a dream.

TO BED!

 

[Johnknight1]

It was a Famitsu column Sakurai did.

It's on the source thread (which is sticked), and the reference is via an IGN article on said print magazine article, and it specifically focuses on when Sakurai talks about balancing Bowser.

But yeah, Sakurai essentially did that with the whiteboard post, mentioning the Ice Climbers specifically back around E3, and then by bringing up Captain Falcon A LOT!!!!

Honestly, it would make a ton of sense if Sakurai just confirmed the "for sure" Brawl characters at E3.

Heck, I would suggest even confirming all the Brawl characters at E3. The hype it would cause would be through the roof, and the Sony and Microsoft fanboys would be pissed they wouldn't get to play as the real Snake, Solid Snake, in the hypest hypefest of all hypy hype hype!!!!

 

[Nintendotard]

Er...Zelda is just a princess given the wisdom from the godess of wisdom. Rosalina is just the protector of the galaxies too

But going back to my post...we do kinda have to find somethig new cuz im pretty sure Palutena really is not gong to be announced anytime soon especially if this is real

 

[XStarWarriorX]

So is anyone HYPED to the max as I am right now?

that move from sakurai is just..... freaking perfect.

 

[Shroob]

Where's Admiral Pit gushing when you need him?

 

[Johnknight1]

Now if there's a Direct friday, what they'll show still has me extreme intrigued.

In March feasibly either Little Mac, Ridley, Palutena, or K. Rool could be confirmed. But yes, I would think before E3 is more likely, whereas the more hype reveal like K. Rool or Ridley will be saved for E3, along with the most well known Nintendo characters not playable in Smash, Miis, and obviously Pac-Man, which at this point is a given.

But alas, it appears our next imminent reveal is Diddy Kong, unless Sakurai destroys our expectations and either shows off Dixie solo or the Kremling King himself!!!!

 

[PreacherDudeRox]

I don't know how y'all feel about this:

Sometime in the future, Palutena will be revealed, with her own little trailer and cool artwork. It'll be awesome to see her confirmed.

I just feel like the developers are going to pull a "Brawl intro" and make it so the cutscenes the newcomer characters have in the game are just the trailers they had.

I see thanks. Well its not like I doubt Falcon is in teh game. But I f I recall correctly that IcE climber mention was brought up by IGN as an example, bit by The Smash developing team.

I mean I'm pretty sure he meant that was the case, I don't expect him to make EXTRA super-amazing CGI cutscenes after making one for every newcomer.

That would suck. I want something like melee's into since it was so awesome.
