There have been a lot of rumors in late, so I wanted to make on big database of them. I'll try my best to get almost EVERY rumor ever made for this game.
Turn up that ****! It's Sakurai!
This was the very first rumor ever. It stated that on a Radio show in Japan. He said Ice Climbers and Game & Watch were lout with Bowser Jr. and Ridley were in, not to mention Y. Link would become Celda Link. The rumor turned out BS when everyone found out the Radio station in question didn't actually exist. The guy who made it also confessed!
Custom Characters?! Or, at least, custom movesets.
This was the second one to surface, but never became big. It said two things: That courses would have destructible terrain, and you could customize a characters moveset. While this rumor has never officially been debunked, we can tell it's probably not true since the moves seem set in stone. Although, there was destructible terrain.
The Prophet speaks!
This was the rumor that made everyone a pessimist. On GameFAQs, someone posted that there would be 36 characters in Brawl (minus transformations), 15 newcomes, and that one franchise from Melee was not to come back (and all 12 SSB characters were confirmed). What sealed the deal is he said there would be a newcomer and a veteran that week. What happened? Pokemon Trainer and Peach were shown in the span of that one week. He then followed up saying that Lucas was coming that week and Ness was out. Strange. Diddy Kong doesn't look like Lucas.
It's SO BIG! 8.5 to be exact.
When your credible, people listen to you. That's exactly the case here. NyaseNya predicted the Sonic update and video 4 days before it happened. Not to bad. He/she later said that Brawl would be 8.5GB, making it the first duel layered Wii game. Sadly, Europe wouldn't get this game till April/May. Bummer. This one, unlike many other, has yet to be confirmed. Sadly, the topic on Smashboards was locked becuase LOL NO S0URCEZ MEANS NO TRUE LOCK in typical idiot mod fashion.
SPOILER ALERT! Mother 3 spoilers ahead.
Say what you will about Starmen.net, when it comes to anything Mother/Earthbound related, they're on it like white on rice. That's what happens here. Though the Mother 3 translation blog, they mentioned that there would be major Mother 3 spoilers, and they will try to speed up the project so that people can go into Brawl without the worry of being spoiled ahead of time. This one is still at large and won't be cleared up till we have the game.
Ride the Blue Wave
What is the best way to promote your trolling. Ride on someone else's rumor and let it roll. That's what Blue Wave did. After NyaseNya predicted Sonic, old Blue said the same thing. NyaseNya was right. He was right. It's all good. He later made a post on Nsiders2 saying A LOT of things. Capt. Falcon and AC guy were starters. Dedede was an unlockable. Jiggly and Marth return. Target Test was back. Paper Mario had an assist trophy. Those are only a few of the claims he made. Of course, what started out as an epic troll was ruined when he came out and said it was a lie only a few days after making it. Can't win them all.
So Wait, when IS Brawl coming out in Japan?
It was stated in Coro Coro that Brawl would come out on December 22 IN JAPAN. It doesn't seem like much, but with a credible course, it could probably be true. Not to mention many Japanese retailers also had this as Brawl's date. This rumor has never been confirmed or denied and with the delay never will be.
Animal Crossing gets a rep. It's.......AC Dude?
In a famiutsi interview with the Animal Crossing creater, the topic of Brawl came up. He said that at first, it was just an item or two, but later it turned into a full fledged characters. Yes, the Animal Crossing rep would be a playable character equipped with shovel, ax and net. This one is actually still at large. Many people think it's deconfirmed, but the magazine that said "idiot" reported was actually from Coro Coro. Facepalm indeed. However, this one has fallen of the face of the earth as far as anyone else is concerned.
Geno? In my Brawl!
Yep, the most recent rumor. Came out today actually. According to Super Mario RPG Legacy, three sources have said that Geno will be confirmed that week, possibly the next day. The site's admin claims not to know how credible the sources are. This one is very much at large. A web page that is suppose to be 1up says Nintendo has told then that tonight will be Geno, but the site isn't 1up. In the end, Geno was not updated that week. So, DEBUNK!
Super Smash Brothers Brawl delayed AGAIN!
The one rumor no one wants to come true. This one is a bit of a two parter. First, an e-mail was sent to Amazon.co.jp saying Brawl was to be delayed again. The e-mail came from a shady source so it was quickly forgotten. BUT, NyaseNya said that Brawl would be delayed again in the US. Many people feel that the person isn't credible, and feel it's fake. Sadly, this is still at large so anything can happen (especially when Nintendo is involved). This will also prove how credible NyaseNya is.
IDK my BFF Serebii
Smash trolls always take advantage of a good opportunity to make a rumor, regardless if it will have any info or not. That's what one guy on Smash Boards did. While everyone awaited the Coro Coro magazine (hoping to have Brawl info) one new member decided to become the next prophet. You see, Serebii.net added new info on Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon 2 on his site FROM Coro Coro. So, this member said that he had a AIM conversation with Serebii Joe in which Serebii Joe told him new info from Coro Coro. He said it showed Capt. Falcon, Luigi, and Ridley (as Meta-Ridley). It also showed Port Town and Ashely's Mansion as stages. It didn't take long though for this one to be debunked. Many claimed Serebii doesn't have AIM, and he was asleep during the time. What really destroyed this one was that there was no new info in Coro Coro. Serebii also denies it.
More to come! If there is a rumor I missed, or you have found a source, please bring it up. Hope you enjoyed.
