ZeRo's mystery announcement

[RODO]

I FIGURED IT OUT!

@ TSM ZeRo and others are adding items into the meta game.

That would be...interesting. Wonder how that would work

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Most hype news in the thread TBH.

No items?

It's obvious they're adding Smash Balls.

Was this not hype enough?

 

[sassafrass]

Haha man you just wanted attention. I don't blame you, but trying to pass off what you did last night as "helping the scene grow" is just incorrect. You could've kept quiet, you could've waited however long, but something inside you wanted to tease us, get us hyped and more importantly, talk about you... Which is all fine and dandy unless you can't actually announce it. Then you just want attention. I don't have a problem with that in itself, but like I said, don't pass it off like you're the offspring of Mother Teresa and Gandhi.

I think that's an unfair assumption. Let's just be glad that we have something to look forward to.

 

[ImaClubYou]

I think Smash might get a TV show and ZeRo along with others might be in it, lol.

 

[sassafrass]

I think that's an unfair assumption. Let's just be glad that we have something to look forward to.

I disagree that it's an unfair assumption and we have always had something to look forward to... You know, the game itself. But whatever no biggie, we can move on.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Let me get this out.

1. He can't say because they have yet to try it out.
2. He says it'll grow because it'll be appealing to both sides of the community. Casuals and competitives.
3. It indirectly involves Nintendo. Nintendo put it in their head.

They're adding items.

hmmm idk when did he say it would appeal to both sides?? I just know he was talking about representing the side that didn't get as much attention (competitive side).

10/10 Can't read enough times.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

He said it wasn't Sm4sh related.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Oh my god...


When you BUY a freaking game, you OWN it. You posses a copy of that video game. You are legally allowed to make a copy of it for storage, but distribution of the copies is illegal.

Project M might use music not in brawl, if it does, that would be illegal.

I don't think a few words like that can loop around a copyright law, I feel like asking the big N themselves over it.

No you don't. when you pay for a game you pay for a licence to use it. You don't own it, otherwise you could make an infinite amount of backups and distribute them all. Owning a game is different to owning a licence. You can tell you own a licence when you're only allowed a limited amount of backups. This is why when downloading games of the eShop or Playstation store you only have a limited amount of times you can redownload it.

Not that you aren't completely correct, but that was off-topic for this thread.

That said, I can't wait to see the actual information.

Sorry. I just can't stand people being wrong.

I hope the information doesn't eventually dissapoint everyone who hyped it up.

I don't know. ZeRo could simply just comment to say if this was the case. I barely followed this thread, just wanted to point out something was off-topic so it doesn't continue and all.

 

[RODO]

ZeRo said it wouldn't be announced for a few months now so I'm sure that's not it.

 

[serazac25]

There was a rumor going on about Melee's virtual console release. Maybe we can have 5 smashes in the same console, (5 cuz of P:M)

Edit:I mean what other games will it be compatible with the GC controller adapter? I guess there will be in a near future, but still. I don't mind a re-release HD thing with online or just HD w/o online.

Online Melee would be ****ing fantastic.

A simple Virtual Console port would be okay, but I've already got a copy of Melee and a Gamecube. I'm good.

 

[ChillySundance]

I think it'll be a dedicated tournament circuit for serious team matches or something like that. It's a relatively unexplored meta compared to 1vs1 and it appeals to a crowd that's been left out for a while (team players) and it can be applied to all 4 games in the franchise.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

well ZeRo Did release a tier list of everyone from the demos.

could that be the announcement?

 

[Tristan_win]

It's not going to be a melee port or a melee update with better graphics because IF that ever came out it would butcher the latest smash popularity.

 

[OptimistNic]

So in the ZeRo AMA (found here http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/280mk9/hey_im_zero_e3_smash_bros_invitational_champion/) he was going on about an announcement he was excited for. Unfortunately Nintendo (I assume) said he couldn't reveal yet. I have a guess as to what it is: the game build is different from the demo and he has played it.

Now why am I guessing this? Two things.

1. ZeRo states that he has found a 60-70% combo with ZSS. It seems hard to believe that it would be possible for a true combo to reach those percents in the build we witnessed as characters were usually knocked too far away to follow up on.
2. When someone asks what the surprise is ZeRo responds with "it will change this meta game." That too me has to mean either a new tech was discovered or there was something missing from the build we didn't know about. Demos are known leave mechanics out that may not be ready, with some demos even using old builds from past games just to showcase the game (brawl did this and so did mario kart). I'm starting to believe he has been shown the actual build of the game that plays slightly different to what we witnessed.

This is all just speculation, let that be noted, and it's very possible the demo build could be final and ZeRo just found some hidden depth, but I'm very excited for what's to come.

So maybe the demo was borrowing most of the Brawl engine because the other stuff wasn't ready?

 

[RODO]

Could be. That certainly isn't unheard of for demos.

 

[Pazzo.]

I'll just sit here and wait like a good boy.... and hype myself.

 

[Hydde]

I cannot say, it would ruin the surprise completely!

As a heads up, @ the announcement: this is basically something I'm doing to further grow the scene, since I'm 'catering' to one side of it that's been forgotten for a bit recently, but it's for the scene as a whole and it's positive and it involves me.

When I meant ' Changing the metagame', I actually meant not @ Smash 4, but instead, that it would change things up for a side of the community which (I hope) it will eventually mean good for everyone and moving into the future. It's all about being a family, guys.

Now, that's enough teasers. I can potentially announce this in the next upcoming months, but for now, I can't.

HOWEVER, because I failed to deliver, I stayed up until ~5AM replying questions in my AMA and will continue to do so throughout this day.

Really sorry for any inconvenience I caused, it wasn't my intention. I'm just trying to help the scene become better. Maybe I'm overhyping it? Depends on how it's received, but I think that it will do a lot of good to the scene.

Once again, thank you everyone for all the support. Much appreciated. For now, this will be completely underground until it can be announced.

This sounds something in the lines of more support from nintebndo for the competitive community at the very least.

 

[TSM ZeRo]

Guys, please don't jump to conclusions!

 

[MechaWave]

It'd be nice if you would stop talking about this altogether. Then maybe, just maybe, people would stop too! What a world, huh?

 

[RODO]

Guys, please don't jump to conclusions!

Never!!!

 

[Malkior7]

The announcement of Ridley being playable would definitely change the meta game

So much this...

I mean let's be honest here. Why does he need to keep mentioning that "it involves me"?

Clearly we can see that, since only you are aware of this information you speak of at the moment.

This 4P FFA w/ items fun-based tournament really went to his head, didn't it? Let's look at the check-list...

- Importance of the information and that which the information applies to has now changed multiple times ("It will affect the meta-game" [later] "When I said meta-game I meant it will help grow the smash community!").

Never mind that the meta-game and the smash community are two utterly different things that build completely and utterly separate forms of speculation and hype and announcement possibilities.

- Continues to mention his "special" involvement in whatever it is.

Not surprising considering the self-absorption that is so apparent from this invitational business. Clearly he's not the only one involved otherwise nobody would be stopping him from talking...so touting his own involvement is just irritating to anyone.

- Feigns the announcement, then retreats because he isn't allowed...yet states Nintendo is not involved? Clearly this is either a back room thing or some kind of in-community group thing...That's why if he states who's involved it would be a give-away.

Brace for a shallow over-hyped announcement.

 

[sassafrass]

Guys, please don't jump to conclusions!

Okay, I know I said was going to let this go in my last post, but are you kidding me? How do you expect people to not jump to conclusions? This is an extremely passionate community and I am 1,000% sure you are 1,000% aware of it. If you don't want people to jump to conclusions, you should not have teased them, simple as that. But if you are desperate for attention like you seem to be and want to be kept in the spotlight, go right ahead and tease us with another announcement.

The thing is, I'm not even saying this isn't going to be a huge announcement. In fact, I hope it is massive! I just do not appreciate the way you are handling this. First off, you claim you have this generous soul that "just wants to grow the community" with something you aren't even sure you can announce. Then when people's speculations run wild (like you KNEW they were going to), you tell people to back off. Not cool man, not cool...

 

[DraginHikari]

Guys, please don't jump to conclusions!

Yeah... around here I'm pretty sure that's like asking someone to dodge water while outside during a hurricane.

 

[Joe73191]

Give him a break. He made a mistake. He accidentally said too much and now that he is trying to correct his mistake we jump down his throat? Look if we have to wait then we have to wait. Acting like this is not helpful. You don't want to ruin it by doing this stuff to the point that whatever it is is cancelled do you? So stop and back off. In fact this thread should be locked to prevent people from ruining something potentially great. Please mod, lock this thread.

I know some peeps here must be nerd raging because he doesnt want to spoil the surprise, but come on.

Or not. He said he COULDN'T announce it anymore because someone forced his hand.

This slop-show he started is just an attention-gathering mechanism.

This slop-show he started is just an attention-gathering mechanism.

Admittedly he was premature in mentioning anything, but there's no real indication that I can see that he's just doing it for attention. He is excited about whatever it it, so why assume the worst of the situation? Not to mention that by sitting around speculating and/or being annoyed at the people who are speculating does nothing but generate more of that oh so ill-gotten attention that he so desperately needs apparently.

 

[Minato Arisato]

Ugh, this is starting to bum me out. I don't think the announcement will hype me up in the slightest now that I've read through this whole thread...
