Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS - Settle It In Smash!

[Solly]

Shovel Knight in Smash would be amazing. It's fun to fantasize, especially when we know that Shovel Knight is getting something 'megaton' on Nintendo platforms that 'isn't what people expect.'

Yacht Club Games themselves said that the listing was fake, though

I don't think any indie characters stand much of a chance, especially ones who don't have Japanese presence. I'd love to be proven wrong. 

[Mando-Whirl-Wind]

Daisy doesn't have an Amiibo, what are you talking about? Toad does have one, though.

oh, sorry thought she got one for mario party

[Thigolf]

We don't even have Amiibo for the already released DLC characters, why would we suddenly get one for a character not even announced? More likely if its real, its a Splatoon thing; its just Shovel Knight himself for the Shovel Knight games and it was listed incorrectly as Smash.

Oh, right, I didn't even keep in mind that all the other DLC characters don't have amiibo yet and will likely not get some until next year (minus Mewtwo) - so yeah, the "Just a standalone Amiibo" seems a lot more likely now.

Yacht Club often says they don't have any idea about something or say a listing is incorrect when it actually isn't, though. After the European release date for the 3DS/Wii U Versions popped up in the eShop, they also played dumb and said they didnt know if it was true, when they actually recorded a message for the Nintendo Direct that day in which they announced the release of the game, and they also said the retail listing of Shovel Knight on various retailers was fake, when it later actually turned out to be real, so I'd take their deconfirmation with a grain of salt, they are a playful bunch sometimes xP

I wanted to note that, but the possibility of them playing dumb does exist. I could see a standalone Shovel Knight Amiibo; Yacht Club could even be saying the listing is fake because it says "Smash," when they're only planning a standalone Amiibo instead to release alongside Plague of Shadows. So I'll give that a possibility.

[Solly]

 I'm not sure I buy this being an amiibo listing for a regular Shovel Knight amiibo either.

To reiterate, I don't think this is real. But the retailer is saying that the listing is based on official info, and that info includes it being part of the Super Smash Bros series. I don't think they'd be half-right or half-wrong. If they really knew that a Shovel Knight amiibo was coming, I think they'd know where it was from, too.

Most likely false information. Remember the Mike Pollock interview? Voice actors commonly make mistakes and do so many jobs that they often have no idea what they actually worked on. This guy likely remembered he had some extra dialogue he read and didn't know where it came from, so he assumed it was Smash.

 

The phrasing just doesn't sound right: "I guess I AM that extra!"

He doesn't know what it was, he just knew he had extra dialogue in a session. That's all. The origin of the IMDB thing was fake because fake stuff is added all the time to IMDB.

I get where you're coming from, but if that's all it was, why'd he delete the Tweet and make his account private to everyone but verified followers, instead of replying with something else?

I mean I'm pretty indifferent to him being in Smash and I'm taking this with a grain of salt, but y'know.

He deleted the tweet because he realized it was a mistake. As for making his account private I heard that it was always private, he didn't suddenly change it.

I'm upset that people are so childish as to drag voice actors into this stuff. Most people with functioning brains realize that bugging the talent on social media is barking up the wrong tree, but they'll do it anyway, and every so often something like this happens. 

If Layton isn't in, Mr. Miller still knows he fucked up by saying what he did, and protected the tweets for his account. Not a good day for him. If Layton IS in, he broke NDA and could face serious repercussions over this. That's not to say he will, but this is the type of thing that can cause companies to not rehire their actors. It's frustrating that people will act like total children and nag people like him for the opportunity to ruin a surprise without considering the possible consequences.

You make a point with actors not always knowing what they're acting for. A lot of recording sessions and auditions are 'blind' and sometimes actors won't know how or where their material is used until a certain point. But a month passed between when he said he wasn't in the game, and when he said he was. I don't think he'd do a 180 if his only reason was that he remembered doing a little extra dialogue. That doesn't add up.

Wouldn't an "oh wait never mind, I was thinking of something else" be better than just deleting it and not saying anything else? That makes the rumor more believable TBH.

Got me on the second point though, I never checked his profile beforehand. :V

[Marcello]

I've said since early on I'd like Layton to be in the game, so I'm all for this being true.

[Salamander]

If they went all-out with Layton, as I'm sure they would, then I think he has the potential to have a really wild moveset.  He's not one of my personal picks, but I'd be really interested to see how they would handle him.

[JaidynReiman]

I'm good on Layton. I'd much rather have him than Shovel Knight or Shantae. I just don't believe the rumor, that's all.

 

EDIT: Even if it was King K. Rool who was leaked I still wouldn't believe it without solid evidence. All I see is a voice actor that messed up after a fake IMDB listing.

when was he leaked? 

[Salamander]

He wasn't; it was a hypothetical situation.  The suggestion is that K. Rool being apparently "leaked" in a similar fashion would on the face of it be more believable than Layton, but still not actually credible enough to truly be believed.

I didn't say K. Rool being leaked would be more believable. I was simply stated that even if K. Rool had been leaked I wouldn't believe it, and my implication is that I'm not dissing on Layton of Shovel Knight being leaked just because I don't care about them in Smash. K. Rool is my most wanted, but even if he hypothetically gets leaked, I won't buy it (unless there's solid evidence to back it up).

 

when was he leaked? 

FFWF was correct, though. I was only speaking on a hypothetical, since K. Rool is my most wanted character. Even if he got leaked I wouldn't believe it without solid evidence, and I'd still be skeptical. I'm skeptical about all leaks. Especially after Artsy Omni.

(Although, during the past few months before the K. Rool costume was revealed, there were quite a number of "leaks" involving K. Rool. All of which were fake of course.)

[Radiant Hero Ike]

anyways

He was joking around.

SO WHO WANTS TO LINK ME TO THE NEXT LEAK

 

[Shiny Gems]

when was he leaked? 

That's what I want to know. I never recalled the king being leaked anywhere.

[JaidynReiman]

Well, first of all, I never said he was leaked. All I said is that even if he WAS leaked I still wouldn't believe it (implying I don't deny fake leaks just because they don't feature characters I want, I just don't believe fake leaks period).

 

Second of all, there were several fake leaks over the past couple months that featured K. Rool on them. The reason he was on them was because of how much he was being talked about online for the ballot, especially after the TM symbol was found next to his name in Jungle Climber's VC release.

I see. Well, I did play along, but I one thinking you said he was leaked. I just followed along in an unwise way. I would believe the leak if there actually was one (and you actually knew of it) anyway, given the fake leaks we have been getting lately.

Just wanted to share this poll, if you all don't mind.

I thought I made it pretty clear by saying "even if it was"... I try not to imply things, but honestly, I don't see how that can be read as "Even though King K. Rool was..."

[AshGreninJovan]

I wonder why a lot of people here still care about fake leaks that might be coming to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS & Wii U. It's just a fan artwork. Just wait for any new content after Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot comes to an end.

I apologise for misrepresenting you; I genuinely thought I'd understood your intention to be that K. Rool was a more plausible entrant rather than one you would be happier to believe in if you could.
