SSB4 Rumours and Leaks

[Retroend]

I made a 50-man roster using the four most believable leaks (Mii/Pac/Mac, Diddy/Dedede, Translator, and this new "Namco Visit" one). They all seemed to coinside with one another, with the only problem being Diddy and Dixie being together in the Translator leak, but not the Namco Visit leak. They could easily have been separated on the roster for whatever reason between the leaks, or just separated on this version that the Toots guy apparently played, but I don't know. I don't think I'd mind this roster at all, really.

this is what i think.

DK- dixie is probably a seperate character anyway. 4 DK characters.
Zelda- Sheik could come back and there are rumors of maybe ghirahim being playable.
Metroid- don't know about Adam being playable. maybe that slot should be for ZSS.
KI- no changes on this roster.
Kirby- no changes.
Pokemon- i can see mewtwo coming back.
Fire Emblem- Ike could be cut but i doubt it. chrom i can see as playable.
Star Fox- no changes, but i wish they would add Krystal, just because i want more female characters.
The characters i'm iffy about are isaac and snake. i love isaac, but only 1 golden sun representative? i figure they would deserve 2. and snake i don't see coming back. i think brawl was his own time to be playable. and wheres takamaru? theres been a lot of talk about people wanting him in. so far, i'm glad that people are also wanting shulk as a character. it would be interesting to see him fight in smash.

thats just my opinion though. something about the previous leak just seems off though.

Uh can't you take those images and put them into something that tells you what kind of camera they were taken with, the time of day it was taken etc? Unless this guy can decode, there's no way he can change these things as they are coded into the images when they are created by the camera phone. Just check the date it was taken.

For what its worth, whoever took these photos DID get into the actually HQ.

That's my dream roster (minus Lip and Takamaru). It's too good to be true.

Here's one of the photo bucket links if you want to try to look into it more. http://s268.photobucket.com/user/TeekyCres/media/namco1_zps361f8190.png.html
I am not sure how the site works but I think privacy settings or something are on which prevent me from looking into more detail. If only the guy who posted them would just comment more.

 

[Arcadenik]

LOL Adam over Anthony? What would he do? Tell people not to use their special moves until he authorizes them?

You guys wanted those pics really badly.
There's nothing in them that showcases anything Smash. They're tourist pics, really.
I also looked into it and the Pokemon I meant was Oshawott.
As for the artwork of the new characters, I only saw them from head up. Chrom was facing to the right, Dixie Kong had her mouth open and looking down, Issac and Adam looked sorta neutral. Shulk was also looking to the right.

I went and searched for "namco office" "Japanese office workers" etc. to see if I could find any photos quickly off google regarding these.

I did find the outside of the Namco building http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/NBGI_Headquarters.JPG and it matches the inside of that last picture perfectly.

I'm going to give this one the benefit of the doubt and keep my eye on this information. He's listed specifics on portraits and pokes, so there's not much we can do but wait until more of this info is comfirmed/deconfirmed

Get rid of the extra zelda and Isaac and Adam then that will be more likely

Correct. And actually, there is no .exif data (what swordbreaker mentioned). Of course, that data can be wiped. HOWEVER if you look, the images are not all the same dimensions. 1024x572, with one being 1024x577. Doesn't seem big but it means they were not taken by a phone/camera/whatever and instead, most likely, cropped (explains the inconsistency in dimensions). Judging from the quality probably a video.
Also if you search the PB user name a single thread on bell tree forums comes up with the search result being an image to a Brawl tournament bracket by a user who seems to very much like Smash.

I took it into a program that gives you all that data and it looks like it was changed to png which changes things, as photos are not created in png format natively. Since it was edited and saved as a png that means that its treating the image as it was created based on the png file and not when it was actually taken with the camera.

Thank you, no more Adam.

 

[dezeray112]

Sorry to ask but I know that Adam was mentioned in the "Toots" leak, but who is he?

http://www.metroidwiki.org/wiki/Adam_Malkovich

Basically, Samus' first Commanding Officer. Mentioned in Fusion (and the AI that guides Samus is modeled after his mind), and has a significant role in Metroid: Other M.

Significant in that he's the reason you can't screw attack super missile and power bomb your way through the game. (and also he's the reason samus almost had a heat stroke because varia suit needs to be authorized)

 

[König Nickerchen]

Yay hope this is wrong, new chances for Mewtwo, Krystal and Mii again. =)

Hmm.....I see. Well, I've never played Metroid Other M before. Thanks for the information.

And how Samus constantly falls over him like a high school crush.
...You know, there were many things wrong with that game...

Your lucky, I actually sat through Theater Mode. I could say the story's duller than a rock, but that would be insulting rocks .

 

[SlickWylde]

I think people waiting for a spring release are going to be severely disappointed. :/

So it was that bad?

Anyways, even though Toots may hold something, I'd keep a good eye on this for now along with what Sal Romano and the Neogaf claim (the one which stated that Ashley is an Assist Trophy) claimed as well and see if what they stated is true within the next couple of months.

 

[CroonerMike]

Even if this rumor is correct there could still be secret characters and such. Either way, I am excited for the game no matter what characters get in. Although I would love to have my K. Rool <3.

 

[swordbreaker]

I honestly don't think so. Unless Nintendo has something in their direct to save them they have to get this out ASAP. As insulting as this sounds, Hyrule Warriors really does show how much panic Nintendo is in from lack of titles right now (It's clearly a desperate attempt at a distraction title). Just hope for version updates.

Anyway, back to Toots. If that's the person's photobucket, I'm pretty sure the roster leak is fake. Don't know how they got the images, but looking at the Animal Crossing website that the account is tied to (if they are the same person) it's seems that poster is very active on the board (over 5,000 posts and still active) , yet makes no mention of a trip to Japan or Namdai offices despite having posting activity on the day he was at the offices. There are some other things I could bring up, but there's really no point I guess.

To be honest, I wish that Yusuke guy would just AIM ChaosZero and have him tell us which ones for sure are fake and not comment about anything else. Also wish someone would just leak everything. There are TOO many this time around and it's actually pretty boring at this point. It be more entertaining getting the roster, watching the breakdowns/joy than pulling hair out and doing detective work.

I'd take summer at latest

 

[Shorts]

"Ridley and King K. Rool are not playable because Sakurai is looking for uniqueness."

Not sure if I should be feel annoyed or if I should laugh at that. It's a pure load of garbage.

And both those characters could still definitely not be playable.

It's worse than that. I haven't even scratched the surface. And please, don't get me started with that scene in the Pyrosphere. I'm still trying to forget.

 

[Muster]

Yeah, summer seems realistic to me, considering the game will have been in development for two years this spring, and The main reason brawl took so long was the glorious cutscenes in SSE.

There's also Sakurai's mention of "beefing up" the game, implying they are refining it at this point.

 

[IsmaR]

Opinions are opinions, but the consensus loves to over-exaggerate what was likely the opposite of what everyone was expecting in a new Metroid (especially coming right after the critically acclaimed Prime Trilogy).

I liked the game, but this is neither the time nor thread to discuss that.

I'm sorry. That was absolutely necessary. From one leak-buster to another, nice work.​

What? Samus hasn't always been a fragile little butterfly? Color me surprised!

...Did we see the same game? There was nothing redeeming (except for Anthony) in it.
But, I do agree, as much as I like yelling at this game. I'd be better off doing it in another thread...

What? Samus hasn't always been a fragile little butterfly? Color me surprised!

Oh yeah sure, cry at the THIRD time you fight him... That makes perfect sense in Sakamoto's delusional mind!

PIECE OF CAKE!

 

[Dark Phazon]

2014 is the year of yoshi? f'in ghey if you ask me. should be the year of smash brothers and the best smash brothers to date of all time. a smash brothers that will have mewtwoking analyzing frame data on a new game and not a gamecube game. a smash game to boost sales across the globe in a race to the meta game as fast as we all can some time in 2014 at midnight. a smash game that makes old and younger people enter the competetive scene of fighting and demands a spot at evo 2015 despite it being wireless.

i mean yoshi's island was good but gtfo here with the year of yoshi...

That is GhEy where is the year of Ridley? When is the next leap year? LmAo

I hope krystal is playable in smash 4
in smash 64, we got fox
in smash melee, we got falco,
in smash brawl, we got wolf
in smash 4, keeping up with the trend, ADD KRYSTAL
(and also add palutena chrom (don't cut ike), miis, and the like)

[Hinata]

Like some other people here, I'm glad this roster wasn't real. I refuse to accept any roster that doesn't have Lady Palutena in it.

Unless said roster was the official one.

In which case, I'd have to grin and bear it.

 

[Accf124]

I made a 50-man roster using the four most believable leaks (Mii/Pac/Mac, Diddy/Dedede, Translator, and this new "Namco Visit" one). They all seemed to coinside with one another, with the only problem being Diddy and Dixie being together in the Translator leak, but not the Namco Visit leak. They could easily have been separated on the roster for whatever reason between the leaks, or just separated on this version that the Toots guy apparently played, but I don't know. I don't think I'd mind this roster at all, really.

I would love that roster if it had Samurai Goroh, Waddle Dee and Mach Rider.
