SSB4 Rumours and Leaks

[Gunla]

OK, so the "prediction" guy also claimed this as well:

Spoiler

Elite Beat Agents

Someone put it on the record books that I think they'd be an amazing AT.

More proof towards a Direct this week.

Hyper Drive is on sale? Better go remind a friend.

 

[Mysteltainn]

You mind telling me what's wrong with that one?

There's nothing wrong with it.

Sceptical = United Kingdom / India / New Zealand / Australian / Canadian spelling.

Skeptical = USA's spelling.

Same word, both are correct, just different regional spelling.

As for the latest leak, my stomach hurts from laughing, especially when he brought the other Young Link into the mix.

I'm pretty sure it's spelt skeptical here too.

That leak had me at the Wall Picture Link.

Giana Sisters confirmed.

Nintendo needs to do a nintendo direct. They need to hype us up so we are excited for the Wii U! They need something to wow us so everyone can say

 

[shaggypatriot12]

I really dont see the point in discussing the Mr.Prediction "leak" when we can literally wait till wednesday at the earliest to know if he was right. Cus if theres no direct announced on wednesday then the whole thing should be discarded immediately....*crawls back to lurk in cave*

Exactly.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Some people are extremely overattached to melee

I've been waiting for someone to say that forever. I know some disagree, but it's the truth.

 

[Arcadenik]

I am not sure what more Nintendo needs to do to wow us for the Wii U... it is like saying we are not happy/satisfied with the games that are currently out and not happy/satisfied with the games that are coming out this year (or next year).

The thing is, the games on Wii U are fantastic, Super Mario 3D World is an amazing game, but it isn't really that exciting when it comes to hype. Mind you it is one of the best games this year. But we need a game that builds and carries the hype train. Smash bros will help, but it shares that hype with the 3DS. We need something that will create this reaction http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VE2Dc1sx71U. It could be Zelda Wii U, Metroid, Kid Icarus, something completely new. That's what will truly save the Wii U.

 

[Jawz]

The release date cant come any sooner!

 

[Depressed Gengar]

I have a feeling the WiiU might not even survive for Smash 4... I hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Snagrio]

So what did I miss from last night? Just more "prediction guy" discussion?

 

[GreenReaperGod]

Pretty much. There was some evidence of a direct planned for this week, but it ended up being something else

 

[Snagrio]

Eh, I'm pretty sure if not this week then the next we'll have one. The next 48 hours or so will determine as such.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I wouldn't say the sales is the big announcement right away. Sometimes companies put some of their old games on sale when they have a big announcement to get some extra suckers attention. I'm still giving hope for something this week.

 

[toonmarth29]

i just had a thought which could of been said ages ago butif snake is in what moves will he have because sakuri (forgot how to spell) said he is trying to not have weapons in the game.

 

[SlickWylde]

i just had a thought which could of been said ages ago butif snake is in what moves will he have because sakuri (forgot how to spell) said he is trying to not have weapons in the game.

When did he say that?

 

[relisthain]

wait has mr. prediction said anything about the phantom?

 

[toonmarth29]

When did he say that?

When he showed the ray gun

 

[Substitution]

i just had a thought which could of been said ages ago butif snake is in what moves will he have because sakuri (forgot how to spell) said he is trying to not have weapons in the game.

Not those kind of weapons, he was referring to real weapons (shotguns, machine guns, rifles, etc). If he did, then Snake wouldn't have the moveset he got in Brawl...
Note: It's Sakurai...

 

[mimgrim]

Not those kind of weapons, he was referring to real weapons (shotguns, machine guns, rifles, etc). If he was, then Snake wouldn't have had the moveset he got in Brawl...

Snake still used real life weapons in Brawl.

Sakurai just didn't want him to use a gun, more specifically a real gun. Things like bazookas and grenades and missile launchers are fine cause explosions have a long history in cartoons. xD

 

[relisthain]

would someone be so kind as to as "mr. prediction" about the phantom, might be an easy way to disprove him.

 

[Hinata]

Or prove him right. That's always a possibility.

 

[relisthain]

Either one works for me.

 

[Snagrio]

I don't get why this particular prediction is getting more attention then the usual "leaker" does. Guess it doesn't matter since the truth will be known in a few days.

Oh, yeah... people got too hyped for Twilight Princess in that reaction video you linked to... and look what happened? People were disappointed with the final product when it actually came out.

 

[Hinata]

Yeah. I don't believe that leak, but he could always be right.

 

[APC99]

I don't get why this particular prediction is getting more attention then the usual "leaker" does. Guess it doesn't matter since the truth will be known in a few days.

I guess the reason people are so into this "leak" is because, unlike most other leakers, this guy is constantly on his thread giving answers, where as most just leave their info and disappear into the shadows, leaving questions. This guy, even though his "predictions" are considered fake, is honestly trying to give the people answers. So, that's why everyone's crowding around Mr. Prediction and awaiting (or even anticipating) January 30th, to see if we'll get Shulk.

And even if there is no direct revealed for Thursday, it's completely possible we'll see Shulk updated on the website. There's no specific evidence which officially states all newcomers must be revealed in a Direct. Ike was revealed randomly on the website back in Brawl's dojo.

 

[BluePikmin11]

It's probably getting attention because it's a fresh kind of "leak" that people are actually falling for.

Oh, yeah... people got too hyped for Twilight Princess in that reaction video you linked to... and look what happened? People were disappointed with the final product when it actually came out.

Yeah, because realistic Zelda graphics are always the best Zelda games.

That's not what happened. First off it sold so many wii's. second is that when it was released people clamor that Twilight Princess was the best Zelda game, and that it was the best game, period. It was critically acclaimed at its time. It was not until a couple of years after release that people saw flaws in Twilight Princess and the hate started.

 

[DraginHikari]

I still don't quite understand the Twilight Princess hate to be honest, I didn't think it was any better or any worse then other 3D zelda games. To be honest it did take a few more chances with the way it told it's story, but in the end I didn't think it was a bad thing.

That's what I thought, since as you said most just throw out information before vanishing without a trace, and that isn't the case here.

And I must admit I'm in the camp of those hoping for Shulk, especially as I've gotten back into Xenoblade (haven't played it in months) yesterday. But of course I'm keeping my expectations in check nonetheless.

A lot of his answers to questions about the game such as what some of the assist trophies do sound like great as well as unique mechanics. I'm still skeptical of him, but I can easily understand why people (I'm one of them) keep checking back to see what he will say next. A lot of the users on Gamefaqs similarly stated they are just there for the entertainment of what "mr. prediction" will say next.

To be fair, there's not much to talk about as of late...

 

[foolssigma]

That is also true. It is only inevitable that something soon will spur a lot more conversation, though besides pre e3, no flow of new information is truly predictable
