Sorry dude if that bluntness was a wee bit rude off me there.

We cool?
I mean, I get it, I didn't think it was a huge leak at all, but a leak is still a leak so I spoilered it anyways. You were right to be a bit upset, I just wanted to joke around a bit with it. And it's not truly major imo, but yeah, better safe than sorry.

Anyway, the big talking point on places like /v/ atm

Basically, a Gamefaqs poster said that the next character is all 4 BotW champions..... in one slot, as another transformation character. People have been going ape**** due to Imran Khan making a joke about them which included the word "Smash cut", Arlo predicting them, and Gamexplain putting out a video on them today.

I really don't buy it, at all.

I figured you were talking about this.

This seems like something that’d be in the base game of smash 6, not Ultimate dlc. 4 whole characters wrapped into one? Yeah, I don’t think so. 2 was already pushing it.

But I do like the idea, I think it’d be pretty fun actually. So I wouldn’t mind if it was real.

But it’s not real :101:

This actually just occured to me today as well.
I was watching a few different videos and podcasts on E3. Many of them think BOTW 2 could easily get a promotion character. Which I honestly agree on. Still, I don't want Zelda. The four champions would be pretty hype. If we get any BOTW rep it should be them.

We still should get Impa though tbh.

I mean the big thing for me is


We just got a transformation character, who are basically 2 echo fighters, and now I'm supposed to believe a 4-in-1 with 4 unique movesets?

So let me get this straight
You're telling me that Rex was a challenge because of the high polygon count, animations, and difficulty with time constraints that they had to cut him, but all 4 BOTW champions can get in with individual movesets with seemingly no problem

Yeah, bull****.

Sakurai's just a man of culture, he would know which of those deserved more effort.
:p

To be fair with Rex, Sakurai said it was like an Ice Climbers deal, where having both on screen at once was too much, this idea would be like Pythra or Pkmn trainer.


Still fake tho.

Neither does GX, their main man Jon left
I would not be surprised if someone gave arlo actual info. It be very unlikely though.

GX though, yeah, the Good Vibes Gaming crew seem to have some info, but not anyone left on the GX channel. Steve for example on GVG mentioned, talking to various sources he had in the industry that would know about a Switch Pro both in and outside of Nintendo. He was positive that the Switch Pro was definitely not in production, when those rumors first started a few weeks back, because he trusted his sources.

So if anything GVG might know something, but who knows.

Also just saying KillerCage KillerCage but nice Made in Abyss pfp.

That anime is quite............something. Perfect for destroying people's expectations of anime.
Thanks. MIA hit me hard due to me recovering from a personal tragedy.
I'm quite happy it got a movie adapting the 4th and 5th volumes and will be getting a second season & a new game in the near future.

Ok so I saw something on Twitter that will supposedly be in the Direct tomorrow, it’s not Smash and it’s 3rd-party + there’s both box art and gameplay screenshots and it seems real:

It seems to be a remake/compilation of Super Monkey Ball games:

Can't wait to once again experience the game that revolutionized the JRPG genre and created the color red, Shibuya, and jazz music.

Bruh my friend trusted me enough to tell me she’s being abused by a teacher at our school.

This is just like Persona 5!!

I’m not asking for much.

A dope smash reveal, some Pokémon info, maybe some squids, and Donkey Kong.

‘Tis all I ask.
Pokemon's a 50/50. Doesn't Gamefreak handle their own stuff most years? I remember Sword/Shield being at E3 once I think, so it's not too out there. Splatoon I think has a solid chance of showing up.
