Attack of the rumors

[Wildcat]

I'll believe it when the proof is on the Dojo. I demand evidence! XD

[Snuka7]

How can you believe this guy! We have had so many people spreading rumors and we follow every one of them!
It was probley just a fluke, because if he did have a contact with Nintendo and was spreading things about the game, wouldn't he be in so much trouble?

Edit: Wildcat, I am with you. Evidence needed!

[Flip]

I'm keeping my mouth quiet. If I open it and speak my opinion, I'm wary to be shot ;p

[NinjaRygar]

HA HA!

I think it's time for the truth, which of course, many of you smartly believed. I have NO source, I made it all up. I just took up what NyaseNya was saying and went with it. Is NyaseNya lying or not? I don't know. I was just as surprised as anyone else when Sonic was revealed on Wednesday and I was even more surprised to see I was right about the Brawl demo at E for All. I tried to predict certain aspects of Brawl, but as time went on, it became harder. I can't guess what Sakurai is thinking, trust me, it's hard. I mean, who would have thought we'd get a PictoChat stage?

It was all a lie. Megaman, Captain Olimar, Animal Crosser, trading trophies online, etc.... all lies. Why? I know it was wrong, but you have to admit, it gave everyone something to discuss. I noticed that there were much fewer topics on the Nook Wars and other highly debated things. But now I must say, I too have gotten sick of it, and so I shall end it. And for those that remember BrawlMessenger, a so called "prophet" from a while back, that was me as well. No, I am not the guy from Starmen.net, whoever that is they are reliable. And McAster, who works at Jeux-France, who said that wavedashing is not in Brawl once he played it at the Nintendo Media Summit 07, is very reliable.

Just wanted to clarify those few points. I'm sorry to those whose hopes I brought up, but hey, what I said is likely stuff, so it's possible it's all in. And so, that's that. I must say I'm surprised anyone believed me at all, especially after I switched my predictions from Tom Nook to Animal Crosser. And one last thing.

My username is BlueWave, but why? I was hoping someone would catch it as a hint that I was lying. A while back, before the name Wii was revealed, the name BlueWave was rumored. Who started the rumor? Me. BlueWave was an awesome name, it went along with Nintendo's blue ocean theory and referenced the blue light on wii. Well, obviously that was fake, but it seems no one made that connection. Oh well. So yea, just thought I'd clear that up. Smash fans have better things to speculate on now, including the mysterious surprises hinted at the end of the newest Nintendo Power magazine and the DS icon on the DOJO site. Farewell.

He just went with it. Like I said.

[kirbychu]

He admitted it so soon? What a quitter!

Anybody know what he's talking about when he mentions Nintendo Power there?

[Luke Groundwalker]

Haha, oh wow. Although I do think most of his "predictions" will probably come true tbh (come on, they're obvious; Dedede and Olimar in Brawl are almost a shoe-in).

Gives me hope we might see more third party characters in Brawl, like Bomberman, instead of just Snake, Sonic, and Megaman (don't want too much, though, I honestly just want Geno and Bomberman).

[Smashchu]

Pretty slick he made all the others.

[Luke Groundwalker]

Dunno if this is appropriate for this thread (will make a new thread if I have to), but it does have a link to the whole BlueWave thing (it IS from Nya), and it's kind of a rumor, I guess: smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=123562

Basically the guy who was quite right about Sonic is saying that Brawl will be the first dual layer Wii disc and will be 8.5 GB in size, and news on the European release date.

[TV Eye]

Sounds believable. I'll buy it, BTW, what does duel layer mean?

[Da Robot]

It's a disk that's scanable/readable from both sides I think. It's used when you have a lot of info and don't want to cram onto two dics.

GTA: SA on the PS2 (don't know about the Xbox one) was dual layer because it was such a big game. Though I'm not saying SSBB will be gameplay like in any way.

Was it really? Because my copy of the disc has only one regular "Shiny CD" side, while the other has art on the other. One of the prostitutes they use in the official game art. Or am I misunderstanding the concept?

[Da Robot]

Actually, I was wrong about what I said. I think a friend of mine who had the game told that's how it works. I thought it didn't sound right.

Below is how it really works.

Info from Wikipedia file on DVD's

Dual layer recording
Dual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per side, per disc, compared with 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Philips and Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM).[6]

A Dual Layer disc differs from its usual DVD counterpart by employing a second physical layer within the disc itself. The drive with Dual Layer capability accesses the second layer by shining the laser through the first semi-transparent layer. The layer change mechanism in some DVD players can show a noticeable pause, as long as two seconds by some accounts. This caused more than a few viewers to worry that their dual layer discs were damaged or defective, with the end result that studios began listing a standard message explaining the dual layer pausing effect on all dual layer disc packaging.

DVD recordable discs supporting this technology are backward compatible with some existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.[7] Many current DVD recorders support dual-layer technology, and the price is now comparable to that of single-layer drives, though the blank media remain more expensive.

[Smashchu]

So the shiny side has two layers I take it.

[kirbychu]

Yeah, a dual-layer DVD is still only readable from one side.

DVDs with two sides are pretty rare... the Friends DVDs are in that format, but I've never seen it used anywhere else.

The DVD set for the first season of Superman: the Animated Series has a double sided DVD for its second disc.

But yeah, that's the only place I've seen it.
