But it's been stated those 2 (4?) are special cases.

I still hope Pit's alternate Side and Down Specials are other Arms and Orbitars and not just slightly different effects- If DK can shoot a tornado out of his fists, surely Pit can swing a Compact Arm or fire off his Eyetrack Orbitars.

I sure said that!

Aren't there 108 weapons in Uprising? I'm sure they'll have different ones in the animation.

Taurus Arm makes too much sense, though.

I, personally, want some Boom Orbitar action.

[up][up]Yeah, there's 108 basic weapons, plus the Sacred Treasures and a few mechs like the Cherubot and Aether Ring.

[up]I was thinks something like "Eyetrack Orbitars shoot two projectiles with very strong homing but leave Pit stuck in that defending animation for a while," for example.

Other Arms and Orbitars would be nice.

Though, we saw that one of his Palutena Bow variants is just a more controllable arrow. But I'm holding out hope for that just being because changing his bow would require changing the model on every one of his basic attacks.

I have a message from another time...

The Palutena Bow is (hopefully) a special case compared to the other two, yeah.

I will laugh so hard if it turns out to be false, since that'll pretty much destroy his credibility.

Though Shulk seems like a reasonably safe bet anyway.

Now I kind of want it to be false because I really don't want Chorus Men in but I can't think of who they'd use instead.

Prepare for Monado Monday. Really, aside from Chrom I'm fine with the remaining leaked newcomers. None of my most wanted, but aside from Ridley most of them never really have a chance anyway. My main problem is that we need a villain of some sort, whether it's Ridley, K. Rool, Medusa, Black Shadow, Captain Syrup, or Bowser Jr. No on Validar though. Make it a somewhat decent villain.

#49563: Jul 13th 2014 at 9:42:14 PM

I wish he didn't reveal it. That just killed my hype for Monday. I wanted it definitely to be a surprise. Albeit, if it's wrong, even more sweet(if only because it'd be less boring than something we already know). But with him getting pretty much every character right anyway...

Also, people need to remember the Xenoblade guy tweeted tons of SSB stuff anyway. That meant nothing regardless. Sal actually saying he'll come tomorrow is really the only thing that makes Shulk the likely one, and nothing more.

Shadow?

I'm pretty happy with the roster but right now it's looking pretty unlikely that we'll get Ray 01 and Sceptile. I still think those two would have been neat characters. Isaac is also pretty up in the air.

I wouldn't still worry about the Gematsu leak ruining all of the surprises. Remember, there will always be newcomers that we will learn nothing about until they are unlocked in the game.

Kostya (Unlucky Thirteen)
#49567: Jul 13th 2014 at 9:46:53 PM

There probably aren't that many more newcomers. Assuming Chrom, Shulk, and Chorus Man all get in that brings us up to twelve newcomers. Realistically I can't see there being more than two or three more.

#49568: Jul 13th 2014 at 9:49:01 PM

The leak itself isn't the problem, it's saying who shows up and when that actually ruins the surprise even more. One of the 3 showing up would've still been an overall surprise, somewhat lesser, but now he's saying it's definitely Shulk. There is no surprise beyond "how he plays", which alone doesn't generate nearly as much hype as him showing up along with how he plays(both matter overall. Although for some people, only one of those they may care about. I care more about who it is than the moveset alone, mind you).

Overall, the leak actually did make the game less hype-worthy due to the lack of a lot of surprises. While a lot of characters were easy to call(Pac-Man, Miis, Palutena, Chrom, Shulk, Little Mac, Mega Man), not all were(Villager, specifically Greninja, Wii Fit Trainer). The less we know, the more the surprise hypes us in the end. It's not really different from reading too many spoilers at this point. They tend to make the product feel less interesting overall.

Really, even if it is Shulk, there's no way it wouldn't be him between the Gematsu Triforce (I still think it's fake, though.) It can't be Chrom because we just got Ike before E3, and they probably would want to save the Glee Club as the last newcomer to give their reveal a shot of WTF for people who aren't already aware of the "leak". From that, I'm assuming that if it's someone that wasn't leaked, it's Shulk.

The specific Xenoblade guy who tweeted it has only tweeted whenever there was Xenoblade news coming up. So he basically spoiled it long before Sal did. Still wish it didn't happen though.

Something bugs me about this leak though. A lot of our assumptions about it (Pokemon from XY, Lucas possibly being cut) stem from the leaker having outdated info. Yet this indicates that the leaker still knows something. Strange.

Wait, I thought the Xenoblade guy retweeted pretty much all the Smash hype?

Irene the leak could still be fake. Saying it's Shulk isn't really that amazing of a prediction since that's been the going theory ever since this was announced.

It would have been nice to be surprised, but whatever. I just care if they look interesting to play, so fine, whatever, it's Shulk.

Just be interesting.

What Anom said.

If that's the case, then never mind.

@Kostya: I know it could be. But at this point, I'm finding it hard to not believe it when he's gotten 8/11 character reveals right, and could be 9/11. Albeit, having guaranteed character DLC is hardly bad anyway, so... a bit of bias is here. It's the fact he got enough right that made me actually find it believable. Now, while I do believe Wii Fit Trainer is remotely guessable(and Villager even easier to guess), I think getting that much right is suspicious.

As for a lot of weird stuff that was miswritten, I don't know why. I think he clearly knows something, but could be lying about other stuff too. But that's my overall take on it.

Shadow?
Kostya (Unlucky Thirteen)
#49575: Jul 13th 2014 at 10:02:22 PM

Honestly the only guess he made that is shocking to me is Wii Fit Trainer. All the other characters(except possibly Villager) are just incredibly obvious picks. Even Shulk is one of the most obvious characters to reveal tomorrow. Now if he predicted Greninja the day before he was announced or something I'd definitively believe him but at this point it could still be luck. He also didn't have any knowledge of Rosalina if I recall. That says to me that he's just gotten very lucky and is saying he might not know everything to cover his ass.
