and he doesn't want to mention anything about the Butt Butt rumor? or am I missing something here?

 

[Z25]

But it did, everyone knew about TPHD. >_>

But they can't punish the eshop, it doesn't technically exist!

 

[Bananija]

I'm to lazy to read back, but what's the general opinion here about Cloud statue as a pre-ballot/ballot character? Just curious.

 

[AreJay25]

What do you think all of the recent maintenance was for?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

and he doesn't want to mention anything about the Butt Butt rumor? or am I missing something here?

Well, considering it is dead....*shrugs*

(Edit: Also, what is up with me constantly using the word "considering"?)

 

[N3ON]

Lol @ making exceptions for the sake of the joke.

Ok, my bad, TPHD didn't leak. Or it's not a big deal. Or it was eShop so it doesn't count.

Whatever you guys want me to say. xD

Honestly it's as good as dead. And I think we should all move on from it.

Butt Butt is dead,like speculation rules.

 

[IsmaR]

Yo @ManlySpirit is back??

How you been, brother? It's MonK4!
You still working hard in the martial arts??
How's Spain?

This post is merely to inform the masses, but Manly has been thread banned, and can no longer reply here.

Suggest people not discuss him anymore/take anything to profile messages/PMs.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

I can see it being put in the back burner but at this point, we shouldn't expect him coming at any point.

The demand is still there but his chances had massively dropped and we shouldn't have the rumor extended again.

We did it after October and we did for the Direct but after now, you have to be grasping at straws to say he was delayed again.

Excpet the video about the SK rumour clearly stated that they knew who the next character is set to be with them saying it was Shovel Knight. So yeah it is dead. It was definite that it was meant to be Shovel Knight next, it was wrong about it.

Welp. I still think its dead myself. Although, I just wanted to point it out from the Source Gaming article to make some aware that @PushDustIn said that.

Holy **** the dislikes lol

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Seriously though, what is this about something happening in Paris?

Edit: Never mind, just saw. Good lord, what the **** is wrong with people?

 

[Schnee117]

Seriously though, what is this about something happening in Paris?

Terrorist attack.
About 40 dead.
60 with critical injuries.
Up to 100 being held hostage by a guy with loads of explosives.
State of Emergency and all borders closed in France.

 

[Solfiner]

Am I still dreaming?

Nope, Cloud is still in Smash.

Well then.

Not gonna lie though, I am extremely hyped. This made up for the long wait.

 

[Substitution]

And in all honestly I've been getting sick of it. Every time it's discussed it's always the same recycled points leading to nowhere (and the occasional flame war). Not to mention we already jumped the shark by kicking out the guy who brought said leak in the first place. It's just too vague with little backing.

 

[Bedoop]

I would love crash, if we got another sony era rep that wasn't snake, can it be Crash? He dominated everyone for awhile and would be a great addition to the 3rd part rivalries . He was a huge gaming icon and Sony's been teasing for awhile( it seems) that they want him to return. Imagine him returning in a new game and then show up in smash! That be amazing!

EDIT:
Lol just saw this:

Yo
Mr. Bunny is becoming one of my favorite Nintendo Characters simply because how silly he is
I legit want this guy in Smash now

 

[N3ON]

Whatever its not dead but we'll know what's what in a month.

 

[Solfiner]

Terrorist attack.
About 40 dead.
60 with critical injuries.
Up to 100 being held hostage by a guy with loads of explosives.

Holy **** the world is going insane

What's worst is that it said the next 1-2 months

We heard about it in late August, we gave until maybe September and October. Then extended it for the Direct's timeframe.

And now it's a day after the direct and we still giving a THIRD shot.

I don't feel like going through this crap another month because somehow Cloud doesn't interfere with the ballot.

Whether he's here or not, I don't care but he's been given too many passes because the guy at Unseen 64 CAN'T be wrong.

I'm gonna leave RogerBase's possible rumor alone because that's another different can of worms

 

[Strofirko]

I don't think Shovel Knight is 100% dead,but the things right now is just the collective of the lack of ****s given after we got this.

About 40 dead.

Up to 100 being held hostage by a guy with loads of explosives.

Just as I read this, it's shows up on TV
To anyone in France, I pray for your safety

 

[Champ Gold]

Also to change the subject, I pray for the families of the victims in Paris.

No one should ever go through that pain

What the **** is wrong with people. I can't believe people are this psychotic nowadays. I really do pray for France's safety.

We didn't kick him out, he basically just went drama mode a few times whenever a user here criticized him or half-seriously implied he was lying.

Pretty sure he just recently whined about us again on twitter.

 

[Ikenna]

If Cloud's stage music has some Chrono Trigger soundtracks and/or my favorite FF soundtracks, it would be harder for me to skip Cloud + stage DLC.

Started around the time of the France vs Germany match which the French President attended.

"Unfortunately".

Yeah Push, we get that you don't like Shovel Knight. But that was unnecessary.

 

[AreJay25]

Japan had an earthquake today, almost got hit by a tsunami too.

And now I hear about what's going on in France.

Not a good day. I hope that they all find safety.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Welp. I still think its dead myself. Although, I just wanted to point it out from the Source Gaming article to make some aware that @PushDustIn said that.

It wasn't based off him being one of the first, it was based off him being the next character. Between the estimate of SK being supposedly "revealed within the next month or two" and that not happening, him not being the next reveal and the fact that all the third-party characters we have gotten are major, iconic characters with huge significance and gaming history (something Sakurai explicitly stated was a requirement for a third-party character) with SK fulfilling none of those attributes means there is absoluetly no reason to even consider this rumour.

Besides, it's pretty clear that a major point of the third-party DLC characters we have gotten are the kind that would easily outsell every single majorly requested Nintendo character and would be more profitable for Nintendo, even when taking into account the fact that the profits would be split up. In contrast, you can have select any majorly popular Nintendo fan requests for Smash and they would be guranteed to make more money than SK, considering that

• They are Nintendo owned, so the profits go completely to Nintendo instead of being shared with a third-party company
• They are all more known world-wide among Smash/Nintendo fans partially because they have recognizability among the Japanese Smash fanbase, unlike Shovel Knight who is barely known over there and come from better selling games on Nintendo consoles. Only around half of the 700k+ copies Shovel Knight's game sold was on Nintendo platforms and it's not as if he has great general popularity in non-Smash context unlike Cloud and Ryu

Even looking beyond the fact that all the third-party characters we have gotten are big name characters, SK still doesn't make a lick of sense from a business point of view unlike Cloud or Ryu. He is a high-risk, low-reward character in comparison to many Nintendo characters.

 

[Captain Fun]

Tamaki never promised Shovel Knight and only reported on it as rumor. Sometimes rumors are right, sometimes they aren't. I think at least in terms of discussion, the SK rumor has run its course.

Cloud looks kinda neat but I'm more excited for the stage. That really looks good.

 

[Chrono.]

"Unfortunately".

Yeah Push, we get that you don't like Shovel Knight. But that was unnecessary.

I think he meant more along the lines that he'd rather see no more rumors and that our current ones be dead. (something he's been vocal about) Regardless of the character.

could be wrong tho

I'm pretty sure he said that specifically because he, like me, are huge fans of the idea of SK in Smash.

 

[Bananija]

To everyone in Paris, I wish you all the luck you need.

To be fair, you can find a writer's opinion in newspapers. For instance '"The Dutch food isn't good, we're used to spicy food, we've only eaten bread for the last 6 months" says Jonathan as he eats a chocolate biscuit' was in De Telegraaf today, Oddly enough no remarks about how the refugees demand free televisions and are having a hunger strike for them

 

[SuperMii3D]

And thus, this is the power of Friday the 13th

All joking aside, I do hope things turn out okay.

I was about to make a joke about Cloud reveal turning the world upside down but this is genuienly sad. Sad and scary.
