We should just automatically disregard any 3DS character leaks that take place on Battlefield...

Except for the Palutena one that one was pretty legit.
Hahaha the double standard of this post is really funny! But ironically I think the same thing! Battlefield is too common and just like "oh ok yea thats battlefield uh huh"

Its pretty generic IMO. Battlefield? How about a stage we haven't seen yet if its really a leak?

Yea Palutena leak is so convincing it doesn't matter if it was battlefield or not.

Was the palutena leak the first to leak a character with a battlefield background?

Maybe other leakers are trying to copy palutena leak success.

So I guess we could be suspicious of battlefield backgrounded leaks.

No, there were a few before it, and I think practically every leak has been a 3DS Battlefield screen.

This is a load of horse****. The original post featured Palutena, along with some comment like "The team is aware she was leaked, but don't know who did it." Despite, you know, the guy trying and horrendously failing to be smart by making it seem as though he guessed Rosalina based on the December date, when the Palutena leak didn't take place until more than a month later.

Also, this came from GameFAQs. A rare moment of legitimate humor from one of its users.

We would get bingo too fast on some leaks lol


*edit Also nintja has made another leak over at gamefaqs and then announced a hiatus till next month???

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/68781916

Hey guys I am back for another batch of information I have received.

I was able to get some information regarding some pokemon who will appear in the next game in pokeballs
Hawlucha- jumps into the air and slams down on the nearest player
Zoroark- makes the screen go black, when the light comes back there will be a clone of the person who threw the ball. It will go around hitting the other players disappears after a while.
Porygon Z- Replaces porygon 2
Serperior- Creates a leaf storm across the stage
Slaking- Appears asleep when summoned if someone walks by it will hit it with a focus punch, otherwise it will just sleep and then disappear

Another tidbit I got was the fact that we are getting My Music again this time around. It will act similar to Brawl with of course new music tracks. Unfortunately I do not have info on any tracks besides the fact that the Brawl and Melee theme tracks will be making another return as tracks for Final Destination.

I wont be getting more information until sometime next month but hopefully this will tie you guys over until then. Sorry for such a small update.

Also, right on cue. This one's a continuation of some older ones, not really that exciting.

I said this over on GameFAQs, but even though I don't believe Nintja, I think that, if he's trying to jerk everyone's chain by "leaking" controversial material, he's failing miserably. An expected game mode and a handful of non-controversial (aside from maaaybe Zoroark) Pokemon aren't stirring anyone's emotions.

Neat ideas, but I doubt it's true.

Boring. I like Hawlucha, but I really don't see how that Pokeball would work. Also, Slaking is super random.

This is perfect in every way. And so true. It should be put in the OP.

Yeah, I can't say there's anything noteworthy about the Pokeballs, plus Zoroark seems like it be a bit complicated to pull off.

I don't remember such a thing.
This: http://gonintendo.com/?p=32159

"Well, I really do love Super Smash Brothers. It’s a great series…but, Nintendo hasn’t asked me yet if they can use Mega Man in their game. I’m still waiting…we have a little bit of time left, it’s not coming out for another few months. They might get around to asking us if we’d like to put Mega Man in Super Smash Brothers. Maybe if somebody from Nintendo is listening to this podcast, they’ll give me a call."

A GameFAQs post that's legitimately funny? The world must be coming to an end...

Hell maybe Miiverse actually contains intelligent discussion now

*checks Miiverse*

Nope, never mind.

This would just put another boost for the Betternet leak... regrettably.

I hate how everything seems to be falling into place as that leak says.
Like what? After Diddy's reveal without Dixie that leak is on REALLY flimsy ground, plus the only thing they've gotten right so far was Little Mac, who was arguably the most predicted character for the game and the one character considered an almost universal shoo-in.

My main gripe with the Betternet leak is that there is no playable Mii in sight and the fact the roster is only 3 rows.
The betternet roster does have Miis, they just don't list it in the original list. If you check how it lines up its rows, Mii is on the 3rd row.

@ Taojaz:

I fully expect that neither Lucas, Ike, Wolf or Snake will be revealed before E3, and if Ganondorf gets revealed in a Nintendo Direct then, then that's the final nail in the coffin for me. It's one thing to guess characters, but having such bold statements like "Ganondorf will be revealed in a Nintendo Direct during E3" in pretty damning if they come true.

If E3 comes and nothing happens, we can toss it in the trash, but IF that happens, Ganondorf in an E3 direct, that's not just good guessing, that's insider information.

Still, the 3 row roster concerns me more, I find a 4 to 5 row roster much more likely.

May I see the link to the bingo thread just for the reactions?

Well, better to cope with your disappointment now than later if it's true. I'm having to with the likelihood of Lucas being cut.
I don't think it's that likely. But that's because I don't believe there will be any cuts. If there are, then he is at risk indeed.
I like leaks that include Ghirahim not because I like Ghirahim, but because it's so funny that some leakers still do that.

The more you guide people into believing leaks because of said "favorite character" the more likely "leakers" will put them in their leaks. So favoritism shouldn't really make you believe the roster.

Believe, yes. Like, no. Nobody liked the true Brawl roster leak, therefore it seemed unbelievable.

If they are reasonable and plausible choices despite what people say, I could agree with the leak. :p
Liking or disliking a roster should be something that should be left aside when looking whether a leak is true or not.

What were the true Brawl leaks, anyway? And were there a lot of them?

I think the Betternet roster would be fine is there was no Toon Zelda. Sakurai's making all the other newcomers so unique I doubt we'd get a stupid clone-newcomer again.

I dislike the Betternet leak...simply because it cuts Mother's reps from 2 to 1. Sure, 'in theory' this eliminates a semi-clone, but it's cutting out an entire part of the franchise's history and representation, of a really small series mind you. That limits the stage selection, trophy amount, and music choices down to just Earthbound and probably Mother 1.

If Smash 4 is to be a game where every character is Unique, then I could be down for that... but then I see Toon Zelda/Sheik and I :facepalm:

If characters like Falco and Ganondorf are going to be tweaked to make them less clones, great, but then don't just go an ADD another clone.

I still can't get behind the Betternet leak, aside from the points already brought up, I can't see them dumping the most iconic Pokémon from PT and then replacing them with newer Pokémon. It's not only asking for them to get the Lucario treatment (except far worse), it's means that Sakurai deliberately disregarded the original characters despite what he said about bringing back everyone he can.

I'd be fine with the betternet leak. It has Palutena in it so I like it. But so do most leaks.... I like most leaks.... Anyway I don't believe it for the sole reason that we are so far away from release. It doesn't make it impossible though, it could be true..
How did this leak get brought up again anyway?

I could totally live with that roster. Not only does it have my Pac-Man [inner screaming intensifies], but it also has Mewtwo returning and a bunch of very likely newcomers that actually make sense. That said, it's also really safe and really playing to the fans' requests, which unfortunately doesn't always seem to be on Sakurai's agenda. I approve of this leak, but as much as I hate to say it, I still doubt it's true.

But if that picture has not been edited in any way, that guy has some good prediction skills. The post was made on Dec. 4th. Both Rosalina (12/18) and Mother Brain (2/7) got revealed after the post was made. So.. that's something.

Edit: After looking at it a bit more, again assuming no photoshopping has been done on the dates in that post, he also correctly predicted Ashley a month before her reveal (1/15). That's three for three. I'm going to save this picture to my desktop and keep an eye on it as stuff gets revealed, because so far this is the only leak I've seen that I can actually believe in, unless someone can prove to me it's been debunked.

-Toon Zelda is playable
-Pokemon Trainer no longer commands Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard (leaker did not specify who replaces them)
These two statements make me hate the Betternet Leak.

I don't like the idea of Toon Zelda, but I DO like the idea of Pokemon Trainer using unique Pokemon from a different game, perhaps the starters from Gen II. If they kept that up, then in the next Smash, they could have him use Ruby/Sapphire starters. I think it's a cool development, but also probably time consuming.

I have a hard time gauging just how to feel whenever a leak suggests a change to PT. I'm among the few that love Squirtle and Ivy but HATES Charizard, so knowing that I would be losing two characters that I like upsets me. But, at the same time, I can't know how much I would or would not like any replacements.

I still think the betternet leak sounds like butternut.

In any case though I really hope it's fake because frankly, the roster rather sucks. But the worry is that it is true and it'll be like pre-Brawl all over again.
