The "mysterious" rumor

By the Assist Trophy thing, he means that some regularly requested playable characters (Ridley? Diddy? Dedede?) will only be appearing as Assists.

But he said "recurring" characters, not requested. I'd assume that means ones like Falco, Dr. Mario and Pichu...

Me? I don't believe this rumor quite yet.

Just because it's on the internet...

[nocturnal YL]

34........ I guess that'd be a bit small for the roster of SSBB. The expansion is so big that it looks like the devlopment team wants to chunk in tons of info!!!!!


Anyway, if that guy's true...

By saying "the killing of the 6", I immediately thought of the clones now Ness is killed, and either G&W or IC (I'd say IC, since there's now someone else representing the Famicom) would be gone. Dr Mario will surely be killed. So there goes - 3 from the following: Roy, Young Link, Falco, Ganondorf and Pichu.

Link is now in TP form so there's no point in making Young Link stay, and Roy would probably be killed for his lack of specialty. And then Pichu would probably gone as well since people keep complaining how weak Pichu is althuogh I'd disagree. There goes.


And actually I want to see him leaking 3rd party related stuff.

[Flip]

The only bit of that that is really new news is the assist trophies thing, assuming this guy's legit (which regardless if he is or not, my stance was always that he's the best damn thing we go). Does this mean that like... Lucario is Pokeball fodder? Sukapon's an AT?

I really doubt Dedede and Diddy are relegated to ATs. Of anybody whose name doesn't start in "Son" and end in "ic", those are the two most likely and fan-clamored characters around. After that there was Ike, and he's already there. So the next down in the tiers are Ridley and Krystal, and then it gets kinda blurry if they're fighter worthy or not.

I think the point that everyone is missing her is that despite the fact of this guy telling the truth or not, what he has done is basically combine all the information we knew into one solid prediction. These are things that really anybody could have deduced (as I know I tried one time before, and figured we'd have 32 fighters), but he was the one who threw it all together and made a legend out of it. One of the biggest problems he has going against him is not that people are fighting over its validity or not, but people saying, "Okay, tell us something that we couldn't have guessed as well."

And THAT is why the Pokemon Trainer/Peach controversy is so crucial. He was right. And if Lucas is next, he's right again. He's telling the truth, or at least really damn good at predicting stuff. We could have thought all this up ourselves if we worked it out, but he did all that PLUS one better. Nobody saw Pokemon Trainer coming. Nobody.

And to add fuel to the fire. Remember what Starmen.net said? About how Mother 3 content WAS in Brawl? And that it would be spoilerific?

Way back, when Sakurai announced the musicians for the game, he included the Mother 3 music director. Back when they were discussing Mother 3, the director had said he was working on Mother 3 music for a big Nintendo game coming out soon.

The Franklin Badge carries the design it had in Mother 3. And if Lucas appears in Brawl, even WITHOUT the villains of the game, his stage, his STORY in Adventure mode, everything about him becomes a spoiler to Mother 3.

Starmen.net is helping the case of Lucas, and I'm totally buying it now. Come next week or two, when we see Lucas on the frontpage, this guy better start disappearing fast. Kids are gonna hunt him down.

There's a few recurring characters on most people's lists that only made it as Assist Trophies.
Forgot the list part.

Also, YL, who is representing the Famicom now.

[kirbychu]

Oh, so he means characters that recur on peoples' lists?

Well... what an odd way to say it.

How can you say Ganondorf will be kicked?!

Mario = Link

Peach = Zelda

Bowser = GANONDORF

Remember what Fry said here. It seems to be that way because Sakurai mentioned Balloon Fighter and the others as the alternatives to the Ice Climbers.

Hmm, didn't see that.

[nocturnal YL]

I...... see........ But that's why I want to see 3rd party leakage! I wantt know if this guy really "predicts" stuff well!

tveye, I'm not saying Ganondorf will be kicked away. Read the next paragraph ater that. I really meant "all clones minus Falco and Ganondorf will possibly be kicked out".

Whoops, my mistake...

[Spud]

Still analyzing the heck out off the rumor.
Characters So far have been on these days:
Wed, Fri, Thu, Mon, Fri, Wed, Mon, Tues, Thu, Thu, Tues, Wed, Mon, Fri
Characters

Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
3	2	3	3	3

To fill in the next Character update would have to be on tues.

---

Now lets go on a leap of faith and say that that is true the update days are now:
Wed, Fri, Thu, Mon, Fri, Wed, Mon, Tues, Thu, Thu, Tues, Wed, Mon, Fri, Tues

Tues is always next to a Thus so lets make the next one Thus Then the next Tues

Wed, Fri, Thu, Mon, Fri, Wed, Mon, Tues, Thu, Thu, Tues, Wed, Mon, Fri, Tues

Now Wed is always next to a Fri or Tues so lets make the next one Wed

Wed, Fri, Thu, Mon, Fri, Wed, Mon, Tues, Thu, Thu, Tues, Wed, Mon, Fri, Tues
Now where are we?

Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
3	4	3	4	3

Now Monday has always come before Friday so lets make the next two day Monday then Friday.

Wed, Fri, Thu, Mon, Fri, Wed, Mon, Tues, Thu, Thu, Tues, Wed, Mon, Fri, Tues, Mon, Fri

Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
4	4	4	4	4

Now lets sit back and see to what degree I'm right. ;D
If so, He has no need for Insider Info, He's just saying that for attention.

EDIT: AUG 22 2007
Or, you know I could be entirely wrong

[TV Eye]

Wow Spud...very nice. I hope you are right!

"Next update TUESDAY!"

[Spud]

I haven't looked into Which Tuesday it is though. Likely either this week or next.

[Smashchu]

I think he'll update whenever.
