The guy who leaked all of this might still have his 3DS copy of the final game, but he would have no idea how to actually unlock everybody I imagine (or the methods take more time than he's gonna have before his copy is taken), and since it's already hosed him over I doubt he's gonna bother giving us more. He was only doing it to rile up /v/ in the first place. (Which 100% worked, there are so many Smash threads over there now, it's pretty much all Quinnspiracy threads or Smash 4 arguments.)

Someone made fun of his nephew for saying his uncle worked at Nintendo and sometimes you just gotta take one for the family.

The guy who snapped the initial photos and videos is probably not the same person as the guy riling up /v/ with them. It sounds like this was being passed around among a small tight-knit circle, until this one guy got ahold of it and ran straight to 4chan.

I legitimately hope this is the case. I want footage of this man standing up in court explaining that this was exactly his reason for doing what he did.

I also want the footage to be blurry, shaky-cam leak quality.

In a swerve, it turns out the footage is actually someone filming their monitor playing a short film they enacted in their mom's living room made to look like a court.

If you superimpose Reggie's face onto the leaker it turns out that they just touched up a picture of Reggie to look different.

That's exactly what happened

Mother loving Leaker (4chan guy) got contacted by the ring and it was found out he had the roster images and that was about it, the ring sent him a cropped image as proof they were in the know and told him to keep it a secret and if he did they'd share more info. MFL then ran straight to 4chan and made the cypher with the cropped image while yelling RIDLEY AND ALL THESE CHARACTERS ARE IN and the group debunked him right away.

My favorite are the people who are such condescending dicks about it.

Like calling anyone who gives it credence a "stupid idiot retard nerd," or claiming giving credence was like claiming 2 + 2 = 5.

Like, drat, way to be an overbearing rear end in a top hat and wrong at the same time. It is indeed hilarious.

I was hoping it'd be true, just because of how dumb some people were being about it. And now I can't stop laughing. Duck Hunt dog is just a bonus. (And Ice Climbers unfortunate collateral damage.)

I have egg on my face cus I was dismissive of it adamantly, but I'm not trying to save face when I say I started to feel this way too. I was watching the GameXplain video on the leak (because I hate myself) and the one dude was so dismissive and sure it was fake to the point he said something like the choices were "too asinine" to be real.

The Bowser Jr footage is what really seals the deal, since not only is it incredibly well-animated, but it also includes footage of Bowser, who has had many changes since Brawl that a would-be faker would have to replicate.


I know a fair bit about how Brawl mods work. I'll put it this way. Mewtwo in Project M plays very close to Melee Mewtwo, right? But it's because everything that makes him possible is in some way used on other characters or effects. His float is borrowed from Peach, his Shadow Ball is borrowed from Lucario, his teleport is borrowed from Zelda, Disable works like a Deku Nut, etc.

You could make a character who can achieve effects only Assist Trophies or Pokemon can do, like Togepi's darkness move, you can mod it so Mario's fireball does that Tabuu instakill stuff, I've never seen it done for obvious reasons but if you wanted to you could make it so when Marth swings his sword the screen's borders start shifting around like when the Devil is out.

What I'm saying is, you can do some really crazy and unique poo poo with the characters, you can animate new normal moves and the associated hitboxes for them, but the tangible effects of those moves have to be within what Brawl offers. Which is still a lot. And keep in mind that I'm speaking in layman's terms, animating characters for Brawl mods and creating new movesets (referred to as PSA files, which I think is "Player Stance Animation"?) is a metric fuckton of work.

That thing where Bowser Jr. ditches the Clown Copter to recover and spawns a new one after he leaves his fall stance? Nothing comparable to that effect is present in Brawl. I'm no expert, but I follow Brawl modding a lot and I simply do not think that would be an animation you could achieve in a Brawl mod.

I know no one in this thread actually believes it's a Brawl mod, I guess I'm just elaborating.

That was always the more pathetic scenario. For one, most people who "believed" it said it in terms of "I think this is true" in tones of cautious optimisim rather than "you're a blithering retard if you think this is false". Even if people went further, it's hard to score nerd-cred by being credulous. If someone did go on a tirade about how it was definitely true, they'd come off as awkward and dumb at the time, no matter what the case turned out to be.

In this case people were falling over each other to call everyone else dumb to look cool themselves, when they were in fact being the dumbest.

This was the optimal case for hilarity. I'm satisfied.

I'm pretty sure the stupid idiot retard nerd thing wasn't completely serious because who says that.

I don't have hurt feelings over it and neither should other dudes saying it might be true, and hell if there was a reverse collage if it ended up fake sure throw me on it.

Need to be able to laugh at yourself golly.

Dark Pit is basically a clone who loving hates Pit for being a whiny suck up to the gods and takes every chance he can to ruin Pit's day.

He uses sniper rifles (staffs) and the like and everyone in universe makes fun of him for being a little shithead (he gets a ton of insulting nicknames like Pit Two (pitoo) etc.)

He gets better by the end of the game though and is pretty rad. You even play a chapter as him to save Pit's life after he burns his wings down to the bone

If you switch the Duck Hunt Dog and Wii Fit Trainer's time of reveal (as in DHD is revealed at the first E3 and WFT comes much later), then people would be saying the DHD seemed like an obvious choice while the WFT made no sense. The only reason people tolerate WFT's existence is because she was one of the first revealed characters and people 1. Had time to get used to her 2. She didn't seem to be 'stealing' spots from anyone else at the time.

Timing matters. It's usually better for a character's popularity to be revealed early, because then they don't have to 'compete' with other characters down the line. Even though Shulk and Little Mac took the same amount of development time, no one is going to say that Little Mac 'stole Ridley's spot' or whatever, while I've seen some people already express that sentiment for Shulk today.

Kid Icarus Uprising has hundreds of unique weapons, it wouldn't be difficult to come up with a substantially different moveset for Dark Pit just based on those. It'd be a lot easier than, say, making a moveset for the loving Duck Hunt dog.
