SSB4 Rumours and Leaks

[gamiac2002]

Played: No.
Confirm: Yes.

We have the internet. If she did, we'd know it by now...

That still doesn't kill the possibility.

 

[BKupa666]

I don't know, let's throw one of these really hard at some passerby and see if it sticks.

If anything, the gumball would bounce like Mario's fireball if it's not a straight-up Peanut Popgun reskin, not turn into some sticky fantasy of the hopelessly idealistic.

So yeah, the people talking about how it's unlikely some (English) interview candidate would just walk into NoJ and see SSB4 are on point.

...I think you're taking this a bit too literally.

All right, fine.
Since I don't have any knowledge. How about you?
Can you confirm?

This is coming from the same franchise where people can conjure fire and electricity out of thin air, turn into metal, levitate, and eat other people entirely, but somehow gumballs encasing the opponent in gum is somehow impossible?

 

[BKupa666]

...I think you're taking this a bit too literally.

A Gumball Gun that doesn't fire gumballs? What, should I now expect the Peanut Popgun to fire cashews because actually expecting it to fire its namesake is too literal?

I think it's a case of Occam's Razor, @ FlareHabanero . Could the gumballs have some fanwanked status effect in Smash? Sure. Are they more likely to just serve as the pellet projectiles they are in their source material? I don't think it's questionable.

Xenoblade said it best.

[BluePikmin11]

Well..

Sakurai decided to give out the inside nut instead for a personal preference.
So no it's not Cashews, although that's a good idea.

That's the point I'm making. I can't confirm or deny. I never played the game. I'm just saying it's a logical possibility because this is Super Smash Bros. where ANY character can have ANY moveset that Sakurai deems fit. I could go on to say she can still have the ice move despite NOT having the ability in the game itself given there are characters in Smash that have moves they've never had in their respective games ( i.e. Falcon Punch, DK's headbutt, etc.) but that's a whole other can of worms.

So, wait, let me make sure I have this straight.
I, nor you, cannot say anything, even with the vast Internet, because we haven't played it.
Yeah no, that's not how it works.

 

[BADGRAPHICS]

Wow, guys. It's like the topic has been pulled out from underneath you, and you're tap dancing on the bare floorboards of this thread.

The leak is obviously fake. Dixie is still allowed an ice move, hypothetically. Are we done yet?

Yeah no, that's not how it works.

At the end of the day, I honestly don't care. I'm just sitting here browsing this thread and thought I'd chime in.

Why yes, yes it is.

 

[Turtlar]

In regards to Dixie having an ice attack...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU0s8aK2xIc

So while it's still very unlikely, it's not entirely unheard of.

Okay, back to lurking for me.

 

[shadowjosh]

Bleak confirmed .

I wish that leak was true, but it's not. I mean, he noticed three AT's and a pokeball pokemon while conducting an interview? That also seems unlikely.

There are still lots of better moves to represent Dixie. I seriously doubt a snowball move would be chosen.

 

[foolssigma]

Besides Dixie somehow possessing ice powers, I found it odd how Shulk's AT move had absolutely nothing to do with his character. Definitely fake

 

[Dravidian]

Monado Buster. Can be described as a slashing move and is a signature attack.
That being said.....I hope it's not true as I'd like a character from each of the Operation Rainfall games.

 

[FlareHabanero]

My main problem with this is that in this case, they could of used something else more compelling. Like say Monado Shield, Monado Cyclone, or Monado Purge.
I mean using Monado Buster sounds way too straight forward.

Another lurker here. I have played through Tropical Freeze (at about 130% or so now) and can confirm there aren't any ice attacks done by any of the playable characters, Dixie included. That being said, it is possible that she throws a snowball or a water fruit as she does in DKC3 and DKC:TF respectively assuming this "leak" is legit.

(On an unrelated note, I've been following this thread since the Palutena leak. I might pop back in again.)

 

[WonderSmash]

Now when you say she has ice attacks does that mean her whole moveset is ice themed or maybe she has like one attack that kinda resembles frost? Or are we speculating completely?

A gumball popgun sounds like fun though

 

[TewnLeenk]

I want your avatar :o

Still no more leaks found...

We could match! :D

Any new leaks? I haven't been on all day?

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

The language suggested it was one attack.

It's not completely without merit, in my forgettable opinion. Ice attacks and freezing are in Smash, but very few moves actually utilize it. Ice Climbers and Lucas are the only ones I can think of. Oh, and a random effect of G&W's hammer. And I suppose Kirby if he copied a move. I wouldn't rule out that Sakurai would try to increase the distribution of ice attacks to make it more worthwhile to implement the effects.

[DaDavid]

They are in no rush?

I'd say Sakurai's statement about getting these games out disproves this instantly.

 

[SuperMii3D]

I havent been here for a while. Feed me the leaks of say, uh, 12 hours ago.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

Yet another:

• "All characters from Brawl return. (Yes, even Ike and Wolf.)"
• "Mewtwo is the only Melee returnee."
• "There is only one Landmaster final smash."

Things like that make it sound more like a Smash Bros. fanatic and less like someone who would have genuine exclusive knowledge about SSB4.

I'm inclined to believe that when we finally do get a genuine leak, it will be by a lowly programmer who isn't intimately familiar with past Smash Bros. and couldn't tell you who's a newcomer or who's final smash has changed, etc.

 

[The Nerd]

Yet another:

Neato. November release sounds plausible, but the no hurry line is suspicious. This is supposed to be a killer app for the system, waiting longer could be damaging and we've been told that they intend to meet their deadline.

I don't think all Brawl characters will return, but hey, cool if they do.

Mewtwo coming back seems to be a given.

Mii & Chrom are both what I would call shoo-ins. Palutena's leak seems realistic, so I'll believe her as well. Excite Biker would make me sad (no Mach Rider?!) and Dillon would be... interesting?

The rest of the information isn't all that interesting. Fairly generic but believable leak. I don't think it's real, but there is no way to tell unless something from this set is confirmed as contradictory; Excite Biker or Dillon AT or the leaf item being shown false being the most likely. It's designed in a way that makes it impossible to disprove soon, which is annoying.

 

[DragonRob20]

Guys make a leak that will make me happy . Miis and Excite biker makes me upset :/

It appears to be an in-game screenshot, yet it's horribly unclear. So... yeah. I'll ignore it.

and even if it is real they just leaked characters we expect to be in

The background looks exactly like this screenshot.

You can tell by the things next to the right platform that match whats next to "Ganondorf"s head.

That beep block skyway level wasn't thought through by this fake leaker
If blocks appear and disappear to the beat, either:
-There is only one song for the stage
-The development team wasted their time programming block timing for multiple songs
Yea, I don't think so.

It could be the Hanenbow of this generation, though, if it were true.

I don't think the leak is real, at all, but I do like the idea of the beep block level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=qWPTQO-Ig3w#t=63

Look at the intro for the beat blocks in Galaxy 2, they make the noise before the song even plays. It wouldn't be hard to speed up or slow down the beeps depending on whichever song is playing.

Looks fake. The shadows aren't big enough. If that makes sense. Look at the shadows for all the 3DS screenshots.

 

[abrinx77]

That picture leak is much more interesting actually. Although it is absolutely horrendously blurry, the background seems to be correct, and I expect both of these two to return. If this is true and Ganondorf does have a Wind Waker type styling, that would be pretty awesome.

 

[DragonRob20]

ITS ALL ABOUT ME :O lol

Btw this captain gannon pic is glorious :D

Yet another:

Don't care about any of those newcomers, maybe the Excite Biker. . . Mewtwo is cool beans. . . "Pick up leaf, throw it at opponent, and as soon as it leaves your hands, it turns into a random object, or piece of furniture." I think I'd be VERY pleased throwing a piano at my opponent. Anyway, I'm not buying it, but I like that idea.
