[up]Technically?

  • Hey guys, if Shulk makes it in I'd totally want to see a Seven assist trophy!
  • Yeah, Seven would be awesome because they're the Walking Spoiler that's actually XXXXXX and that did YYYYY

Well, that's not quite like what happened, but you still went ahead and replied to a subtle reference to a spoiler with a whole explanation of the freaking thing.

Its funny how we are talking about not spoiling what happens in the game, and yet Palutena trailers mentions Chaos Kin in such a casual way.

In all seriousness, I'd love for Seven to be playable. So many cool attacks.

[up] I'm all for us being more spoiler-sensitive than the trailer.

Considering how Palutena's trailer pulled Late-Arrival Spoiler so casually, it wouldn't surprise me at all that Seven came right behind Shulk, at least as an assist trophy. I'd be totally down for a playable Seven, but it's unlikely.

Even if it is foreshadowed heavily, it isn't foreshadowed to someone who hasn't played the game.

And the mention of the Chaos Kin thing in Palutena's trailer... I dunno. Smash is weird.

And if you guys are mentioning Xenoblade spoilers, please be extremely cautious... I'm keeping up with Chuggaaconroy's playthrough, and the last major thing he did was take on the Mechon M71 in Gaur Plain.

The Subspace Emissary spoiled half of everything in Mother 3. This is nothing new.

Even the main thread of Xenoblade is still spoilers on, so you shouldn't have a problem with us bluntly spoiling stuff without warning.

Massive spoilers regarding Seven: It's extremely unlikely, but I'd love to see what Snake would have to comment about her. I mean, blond cyborg wielding ridiculously sharp blades and with a superpowered red-eyed mode. Are we talking Seven or Raiden here?

Given Pit's casual spoiler in Palutena's trailer and the appearance of Sheik in Melee blatantly spoiling her identity, I don't think Sakurai cares about spoilers. So if "Marth" and Seven are assists, it wouldn't surprise me. I totally want Seven as an assist if Shulk is playable, it's my favorite Xenoblade character.

[up] I don't think Seven's sex is really a spoiler. It's not like Seven is the only female party member.

[up]It's not as much her gender as it is her description. People can connect dots easily, if the deductions in the comments by some folks who never played Xenoblade in Chugga's playthrough are to believe

Smash wouldn't care- Pit talks about a huge spoiler off-handedly in Palutena's trailer, Mother 3's Porky is the second boss of the Subspace Emissary, Sheik exists...

[up][up][up] I get that much; I was simply objecting to the use of "it" as a pronoun, when "she" doesn't give much away, outside of other descriptors, such as overall physical appearance, hair color, etc.

You know, the word "they" and its forms is perfectly acceptable as a gender neutral, singular third person pronoun.

You know, its not really like there is a lot of places you can spoil Seven in Smash. Aside of Trophy description, its not like any one can really interact with Seven.

But anyway, I will add Rocket Belt and Cucco things to the Just for Fun page.

Personally, I appreciate the spoiler tags, even for games I don't play. I'm upset at the KIU spoiler in Palutena's trailer, but I've had that game since release, so it's pretty much my faultnote . Plus, well... my avatar title isn't just for show... (In fact, I changed my title to that in response to Palutena's reveal.)

Not to mention, one of the official trailers for Uprising spoiled that part of the game (or at least the part about Pit fighting Palutena) right at release, so yeah, I think Sakurai has a weird policy about spoilers in general.

Sakurai: Story spoilers are fine, as long as you don't post cutscenes.

Ugh.

Anyway, yes, "they" works fine. I was mostly objecting to the idea that keeping that bit of info ambiguious is even necessary.
