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

[Shroob]

Link? Been waiting to report on this.

Found it on Neogaf. One of the guys who went through the new update.

 

[ThePsychoWolf]

You know this might be a sign that Banjo & Kazooie were considered but were cut from the process because of a bad deal.


Or Nintendo and Konami

Or Shovel Knight, or Shantae...

Though it could just as easily mean that the character(s) are still coming, just not finished yet.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Found it on Neogaf. One of the guys who went through the new update.

Looks like it was sprayed with Mountain Dew.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Looks like it was sprayed with Mountain Dew.

Call of Duty: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Starring Geno.

 

[Z25]

Everybody chill, don't count eggs until they've been hatched.

So Billy hatcher confirmed?

 

[PushDustIn]

Man I wished they extracted it properly.

 

[Substitution]

This has been one of the strangest nights for Smash. But since we are getting closer to the end of Smash speculation it's fitting in a way.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

"We were going to add more 3rd party characters, but it ended up not working out, so thanks to all that time we wasted there will be no more characters. Please enjoy Cloud."

 

[Substitution]

"We were going to add more 3rd party characters, but it ended up not working out, so thanks to all that time we wasted there will be no more characters. Please enjoy Cloud."

And then we blame the 3DS version.

 

[Shroob]

Makes me wonder if buying Cloud+Midgar will get you these 2 hats.

It seems absolutely insane that they'd sell 2 Mii Hats on their own and not in their usual bundle.

 

[Opossum]

Man I wished they extracted it properly.

All I can think of is this.

So close to doing it right...

 

[Das Koopa]

Lemme just level with people; that twitter has a lot of troll posts in it and as far as I know no other dataminer has come forward with that information, so I remain highly skeptical, unless they're noteworthy/respected.

 

[Champ Gold]

Man, if there was a deal for third party characters that didn't work out then I should have betted that Cloud would be the only third party fighter.

There would have been some Dan Hibiki avatars roaming around


But nothing has been confirmed yet so just hang tight folks. For now, enjoy this song about a gay priest resetting the world and making 5 parts of your life meaningless

This for you Tree Gelbman

Part 5 was already pretty meaningless anyway.

Can we get married and have the gay butt sex already? I mean you have extended my people's hand at marriage, which is a great 80's rock song.

 

[Coricus]

C'mon guys, let's jump in to the last ride.

For us, it was the day our speculation died.

But for Sakurai, it was Tuesday.

*laughs*

 

[Champ Gold]

I don't know, dancing metrosexual gangbangers sounds pretty meaningful

 

[ThePsychoWolf]

Seriously though, do we have any proof at all that this guy isn't bull****ting us? None of the other dataminers seem to have mentioned it.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Only two songs...

I swear they stopped caring about music after Dreamland.

 

[Shroob]

He was one of the guys vying for attention earlier, and Nikki said there was nothing to say there were new fighters.

 

[tsvlink25]

I dunno, that remix of the Mario Maker title is really good..

 

[Champ Gold]

I don't swing that way but thank you.

I just like Queen. But I love We Will Rock You more

 

[tsvlink25]

Do you guys really think they'll release more after the direct to complete this patch or something?

 

[Fenriraga]

Honestly, all these incomplete files kinda fuels me and my save file theory. It'd make sense for a lot of these to be incomplete (the two character stems, Geno's hat untextured and without the body suit), because they transfered them somewhere else.

But just a theory... a GAAAAAAAAME. That's what Smash is. A game.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

All I can think of is this.

So close to doing it right...

That was amazing, I laughed so hard.

 

[Shroob]

Do you guys really think they'll release more after the direct to complete this patch or something?

Personally, I don't 'think' more is coming tomorrow per se, but I definitely believe we'll see more in the Direct itself that will come at a later date.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Leak.
Leak everywhere.
Come on time, can't you go just like a little more fast than usual? Please?

 

[Curious Villager]

This is interesting:

@Justinsuu Could have been worked on at one point and they decided to stop for whatever reason. Perhaps a disagreement in licensing

— Daniel (@lordocap) December 15, 2015

Disagreement in licensing? Sounds like it could be related to a third party.

*starts to get this feeling one of them may had to do with Layton and the whole voice line shenanigans.....*

I feel sad.....

 

[tsvlink25]

Part of me wants to relive the explosion of Roy, Ryu, and Lucas all releasing at the same time...so I hope we get at least one surprise character tomorrow too, but I won't be disappointed if we don't, because cloud looks cool.

 

[Shroob]

To expand my idea further, I believe we'll see the end-game of Smash tomorrow in the Direct, but it won't be available until a later date. Cloud is what's 'done' now, so we'll get him now.

 

[StormC]

If this is all we're getting tomorrow to play, I'm glad we're finding out now before having high hopes during the Direct.

I'll probably buy the Geno costume. Big fan of SMRPG.

 

[Shroob]

It's kinda funny how many people abandoned thread, when basically all we found was what we already knew + one hat.

 

[Substitution]

*starts to get this feeling one of them may had to do with Layton and the whole voice line shenanigans.....*

I feel sad.....

To be fair, nothing has been revealed yet. For all we know it could be placeholder data for the actual fighters.

 

[Arcanir]

I honestly don't see any reason to believe Xenoblade X Life at the moment, the rest of the dataminers either have previous credentials (ex. Nikki) or just gave us the proof, the only thing we have with him is his word. Unless he decides to back it up, I'm going to remain skeptical on him.

As for the rest, it's pretty interesting. Geno getting a costume is pretty surprising, but definitely a nod to his popularity and it makes sense for him to get that. Unfortunately though, it seems to reaffirm what some of us thought about Mii Costumes and show that they're more "consolation prizes" then anything else, which likely means no Inklings or K. Rool this time around. Midgar getting the Suzaku treatment on the other hand is not surprising, but very disappointing considering how much music FF has that could've been used for that stage. Kalos is an oddball in all of this those since it's the only non-SE related change that was found in the update, so I'm curious what the deal is with that.

All I can think of is this.

So close to doing it right...

As someone who's studying in Archaeology, that made me laugh and cringe.

From what I've heard, it's a change for 8-player Smash. That's all I've seen from the dataminers.

 

[Mikegamer0608]

I'm calling that we're gonna get a Sora Mii Costume.

 

[powerprotoman]

inb4 they only uploaded the Sqaure enix content and theres more we dont know

 

[Shroob]

Is there maintenance going on tonight?

 

[SuperMii3D]

Oh boy, Geno hat. Will probably buy, but we need some more characters! Only 16 hours left!

 

[StormC]

I'm calling that we're gonna get a Sora Mii Costume.

Sora is partially owned by Disney so I doubt it.
