The thing about Loz is that he's not exactly proven to be correct 100%. Given how the rest of his info was incorrect after e3, i theorize that he might have been involved with the setup during e3.
I'm fairly certain mimique doesn't have insider info, they're just very good at paying attention to fine details, noticing trends and making accurate predictions. Alax and His Cat on youtube made a pretty good video breaking down all of his posting this is what it basically amounts to. Whenever they post something, it's never in a manner in which he's telling you that this is info he has, but usually things he's sure are going to happen or speculating having a good chance of happening. The biggest interest I have is his speculation that ATs are going to be "choose-able" before you go into a battle in some mode and can be used like actual assists you might see in other fighting games like Pokken Tournament or some of the Naruto Ninja Storm games. He has some evidence to back up his claim too which is pretty sharp-eyed. So I'd take his commenting to be very informed and educated guesses albeit surprisingly sharp and accurate ones. He's someone who is worth valuing their opinion for speculation.

, if you're interested here's the Alax video. His AT prediction is somewhere near the middle/end. Thought you might like to see it.
Wait, Assists that assist you in battle?
Well, seems like we could solve this right now should anyone have any of his predictions that didn't come to pass...
The way they are making ATs, it's highly possible. They seem more like half-playable characters than before. Being able to dodge, attack, use at least one special move, and of course, get beaten up. It makes me wonder if you can even choose which characters you want to show up when you pick up an AT during battle. Imagine the chaos you could bring with just the Moon AT, or "Waluigi Time". Heck, it's quite possible you could do that with the Pokeball too. I say that because I found it strange that they never mentioned the Master Ball yet. But who knows?
Thank you Silo for that new piece of evidence, it make sense, just like the list of Trophy whit Isaac missing, someone from Brawl is missing!

this video is perfect.
Do you allow yourself to use items? Like the Bramble Seeds or potions?*taps foot impatiently waiting for the next smash direct of some sort*
Well, least I'm making progress in GS PP only run, beat Kolima. Next up is the Lighthouse.
I would like to believe so. He knows we are all hungry for more info. So he probably puts these hints in to keep us busy and see if we can guess right. It definitely generates hype. Especially as of recent with Isaac and Skull Kid. And probably gets people who have no clue who these two are to learn about them and get just as excited as we are.
Just for the record, I went through all of his tweets just now dating back to before E3 and I haven't seen anything wrong. Like I said before though, every tweet he's sent out has been not as a leaker but just a speculator. All the important ones are in that video I linked, but there are others that he makes offhand like "funky kong is too big for smash bros" lol. But he made comments like "willing Ridley into Smash Bros" before E3 Direct. Basically predicted K. Rool before the August Direct. Nothing so far that he's predicted is wrong so far.
I'm kind of skeptical about any of these things being hints. They feel too subtle in the first place, but even if they were hints, you're right, it would be weird for Sakurai to possibly spoil future newcomers for people who can pick up on these potential hints.
I think it allows for discussions and speculation, and it gets more people talking about smash and the character in question which benefits Nintendo when more and more people are talking about smash and potentially bringing new fans to the series. So yeah I'd say it's a marketing strategy to some degree
It's a technicality, but is it because the GBA couldn't handle that many adepts? I was pretty sure that it was to mix up the variability in gameplay. Imagine it - if both linked players at the same 4 characters, both players would do the same things to each other and wouldn't change up their strategies to fight. It's a mirror match each time. If you had 3 on 3, you could at least be forced to guess who your linked challenger chose in order to have the correct mix of djinni/adepts to fight with. I was pretty sure I read or heard that from somewhere, maybe a gamefaqs FAQ way back.
I'm all right with using items if need be, just can't use Djinn moves, Summons or Normal Attacks. Gonna be on the lookout for items that restore psynergy in the future.
i mean even if people see these hints and some pick up on it and others don't most people aren't gonna believe it I mean we also have our doubts so if that was his plan then he's a genius i mean look at how angry some people are when you even mention Isaac deep down theres gotta be some truth to it all there afraid lol they don't want it because they know the truth but they don't want to accept it truth is we got our golden boi (i hope)
It's also possible that he deleted the tweets where he predicted something incorrectly right? I still don't believe this guy has a perfect record for predictions
Someone mentioned this earlier, but there was actually a neat little pattern in there.
I'm probably giving this more consideration than I ought to.... but maybe it's a reference to Golden Sun? (because of the Golden part)
The Moon is kinda evidence for Skull Kid, I guess? I don't buy the chairs theory. As for Isaac, I guess he agrees that the Rathalos picture looks like a Golden Sun fight. I don't buy either, but it would be great if they were true.
That is a lot within a two week period.
I don't know, I guess it is possible, yes. There's no blanks in his tweeting history though. From what I see, he'll repost and tweet every so often and he's certainly not a Smash-centric channel like some others are. The disguise is pretty good if he's actually trying to be a leaker and doing it off-handedly like he has and revising things that he's posted in the past. I'm not even vouching for him in particular, it's just simply an observation that he seems to predict pretty well and has some interesting insights every now and then. Like I said before as well, he's not particularly 'leaking' them at all and it's also not like he's posted a ton of info to go off of.
We're still at 2nd place. Haha.
Actually you guys are in first. You passed Ashley when not to long ago. As for the Geno thread, I don't think we are anywhere near that number. Just passed 3,400 though.
Whoops. Got replies and "views" mixed up.
Definitely! And you guys are number one now! It's great to see Issac and Geno have come so far from supposed oblivion to such major parts of the newcomer speculation forum.
Even though there's a chance these characters arent gonna be chosen, i hope that it isn't the case. They've been waiting for this opportunity for decades.
As a fan of My Hero, this pleases me
I'm really hoping that Ultimate's DLC will in part serve to round up any top ballot absentees if there wasn't enough time to complete them all. With Isaac, Geno, Skull Kid, Bandana Dee, Banjo & Kazooie, etc. waiting in the wings and the possibility of a Pokemon, a Rhythm Heaven rep, Elma, etc. still looming over, I'd be shocked if there wasn't at least one noticeably popular snub from the base game.
Very happy to see Ray so high. Smaller series totally deserve more representation.I don't know if this image has been posted here, but it's a pie chart of the remaining contenders of the Smash Poll Consolidation document. To say Issac is in a good position is an understatement, but I am curious on your guys opinions on some of the other placements.
