Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

To be honest dude, your attitude is no better.

No one is calling the dataminers evil save you.

Honestly, I think he isn't being serious, but anything's possible with Con0rr amirite?

 

[Strofirko]

No, what he did post yesterday was that all leaks are fake.

Today, someone asked them the above and he replied with this

See, 2 hours ago.

Yet his response about the midgar track list was made early this morning.

 

[Fenriraga]

Okay, so we got a patch then?

See you all tomorrow, may as well savor one last surprise while I can

 

[cmbsfm]

Oh damn it might get leaked then? Someone got a direct link to the stream so I don't get spoiled via google or something?
Or PM me it tomorrow?

 

[Con0rrrr]

To be honest dude, your attitude is no better.

I'm just teasing man.

It's just rather silly the attitude towards leak compared to last year. Very silly.

Honestly, I think he isn't being serious, but anything's possible with Con0rr amirite?

If you believe hard enough

 

[Deleted member]

Guys, if the game has been updated
Why is no one checking for balance changes?
Relevant

Spoiler

 

[IceBreakerXY]

How did he even datamine it?Was there even a patch

 

[Z25]

I'm staying, I find leaks unlikely and if they show up here, they will obviously be spoiled, so we could not click them.

 

[Con0rrrr]

By the way.

I'm adding Isaac and Ice Climbers to my prediction list

because reasons

 

[A Distant Demon]

Possibility of datamining exists?

why is this theme so good?

BATTLESTATIONS ALL HANDS! PREPARE FOR SALTY IMPACT!

. . . it's time. To launch the hype missile

Spoiler

See you on the other side. Assuming we survive.


Im suspicious of RTB because reasons.

I'm outta here as well. Gonna enjoy Sakurai's final presentation without any spoilers.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Can we at least be told if we're getting more than 2 characters? Pls, this is the only question I need answering.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

As of now, I have every single Mii hat in Smash Wii U. DLC or otherwise.

 

[Souless_shadow]

I know I just came back after a long hiatus but I'd really rather not be spoiled. I guess I'll see you all after the presentation to roll around in the hype

 

[Strofirko]

By the way.

I'm adding Isaac and Ice Climbers to my prediction list

because reasons

We found the real leaker kill him with fire.

NO ONE HAS ANSWERED MY QUESTION! I NEED TO CHAT WITH YOU GUYS! HELP! HELP! I'M SUFFERING RIGHT NOW!

 

[ChikoLad]

I'M SCARED OF NOT BEING MARKETED TO AHHH DONT LET THE EVIL DATAMINERS REVEAL MASAHIRO SAMURAI'S MASTERPIECE BEFORE HE CAN SELL IT TO US

I came back here briefly because of an alert and I know this might be a joke in some ways but....really?

The attitude from some of you former leak group members is actually appalling sometimes. Not just talking about this example but in general.

I love the hypocrisy in the Smashboards community.

>Dev build of Project M gets leaked
>Mods crack down on it, nobody is allowed to link to it or talk about it much, everyone is all like "I'M SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED PM DEV TEAM I WON'T DOWNLOAD IT OUT OF RESPECT BECOZ DAT LEAKER WAS FILTHY "

>Official Smash leaks happen (yes including actual unreleased builds since that's what happened with Ryu and Roy)
>It's completely OK to discuss it, mods actively encourage it and making fun of people who want to retain the surprise is also encouraged as if they are some extra terrestrial species, datamining is encouraged, it makes front page news without being hidden for those who don't want to see it, and asking people to have the basic decency to spoiler it is frowned upon and gets you a lecture on The Importance of "Leak Culture". And people saying they don't care about what Sakurai thinks even though it's known he feels deep dissatisfaction when his work gets leaked.

Seriously screw the Smash community.

I'll come back tomorrow just to see the reactions and possible balance changes but yeah, don't want this surprise ruined.

And you hold your breath and count to 10.

 

[Fenriraga]

Okay, so can someone clarify something for me?

Is there for sure a patch? Or is it just a 'maybe' right now? Need to know how cautious I should be.

Like I said, not scared or hypocritical, just want this one last moment to be perfect.

 

[wedl!!]

Leaks being painted as a positive thing is kind of gross actually.

Considering Bush knows how the Midgar music list looks compared to the 4chan leak from yesterday, I dunno, you tell me.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

CyberHyperPhoenix ask RTB question.So i ask again how does he have this info without a patch

 

[A Distant Demon]

Spoiler

CyberHyperPhoenix asked RTB if the patch was even out

he got a response.

EDIT

 

[N3ON]

Yep, I picked few requests characters from few communities. To be fair, I have hard time to tell which characters smashboard backed up so much.

I believe Smashboards has an atypical abundance of Bandana Dee popularity (for the west), and a rather large contingent of Rayman support - though I believe places like Youtube and Miiverse might also share in the Rayman popularity. Some questionable company to keep in that regard, but whatever lol.

And there may be others I'm forgetting.

 

[Con0rrrr]

It's almost as if.

There are different people on the website. And that one person may not represent the entire community.

 

[ChikoLad]

Please don't.

And you hold your breath and count to 10.

Deny it all you like but that's exactly the way this community is and there is no way you can defend it or sugar coat.

It's unadulterated bull at it's finest.

I have no problem with people liking leaks but this high and mighty attitude you guys have at times is just ridiculous. The hypocrisy on display when Project M got leaked makes it worse.

You are missing the point.

The mod team are supposed to represent common ideas especially when making rules.

It's OK to discuss Smash 4 leaks and other Nintendo leaks in this thread. It's actively encouraged and you get made fun of should you even ask for something simple like the use of spoiler tags or even say that you are leaving until the official info is out.

But Project M? Nah, you get an infraction for discussing leaks there.

Funny how that works.

 

[Chrono.]

Y'all... Y'ALL

@Aidan_PC @kittenp233 Yes.

[Soul.]

I'm not sure if waiting for the presentation is a hard thing to do.

Leaks are pointless when the thing is just a few hours away.

 

[Z25]

Y'all... Y'ALL

@Aidan_PC @kittenp233 Yes.

— Random Talking Bush (@RandomTBush) December 15, 2015

Let's be honest this was obvious, even if nice to know.

 

[---]

Probably going to take my leave until tomorrow, but I might as well do my annual buff/nerf vibe list.

Spoiler

Major Buff:
Minor Buff:
Slight Buff:
No Change:
Slight Nerf:
Minor Nerf:
Major Nerf:

No Opinion:

Luma I still think could use a minor health nerf. Sheik needs her pretty much all her specials to be slightly less safe given their stupid amount of uses. Ness could use a B-Throw tuning like Sonic got (though it still should be the strongest in the game IMO).

Slight Nerfs are mostly bias and inexperience in the Zamus match up, although Wario I think is slept on because Waft in a 2 Stock environment.

Slight Buffs are mostly just vibes. Samus's meta is definitely rising from what I can tell, and I've seen some good Zards. Mega still needs something beyond special buffs. Mewtwo I'm not sure beyond fixing his grabs like WFT and minor hitbox changes. Duck Hunt is probably the character who is the most random in terms of tier list guesses, I've seen worse than Zelda to B-Tier viable.

Minor Buffs are mostly self explanatory, but I'm feeling less strongly about them than I did in the past. I've seen some good Dedede mains recently as well IDK.

Pikachu I don't know crap about. Meta Knight's meta is definitely getting up there, but he gives me Ryu/Diddy vibes. The Marth clones IDK, Lucina seems she could use something but I don't know crap about Roy.

Project M leak put a bunch of young guys in their early 20s at risk of a completely unreasonable lawsuit that could have ruined their entire lives.

Smash 4 leaks might some people a tad upset that the trailer didn't reveal it for them.

I understand your argument. But don't even try to pretend like those are the same situations.

 

[Chrono.]

I'm not sure if waiting for the presentation is a hard thing to do.

Didn't stop the Ryu/Roy stuff.

And yeah we knew about them months in advance for the soundfiles but the update was still fully leaked.

 

[Z25]

The comments on RTB's post prove how he knows the leaks are fake:

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Ain't no reason for anyone to be rude to anyone.

If people want to be spoiled? Let them be ****ing spoiled.

If people want to be unspoiled? Let them remain un****ing spoiled.

There's no reason for anyone to make an ass out of themselves over a ****ing video game.

 

[Strofirko]

So much divergent comments,that I can't agree with any of you guys.

 

[epicmartin7]

Well, that's at least reassuring.

@Aidan_PC @kittenp233 Yes.

You can tell that everyone is getting anxious now. Arguments are starting and people are posting fairly often now.
