Vergeben Split

Just to keep this topic relevant. I still support either splitting the Vergeben rumors into it's own page or migrating Vergeben's correct/confirmed leaks to the Leak page. Reason being the section is too large at over 9,000 bytes. The One IP Dude (talk) 05:18, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

Last time, the admins decided on the discord (apparently; I don’t use discord) that Vergeben wasn’t notable enough. I heavily disagree with this notion. Vergeben is still talked about on reddit and gamefaqs, and I don’t even think Gemastu went on for this long. I’d argue that Vergeben is more notable than Gemastu based on how it’s been ongoing for over a year alone. Also, even if we shouldn’t split him, the fact that the only thing missing right now is a Minecraft boss doesn’t disqualify the fact that the rest of his info was correct. Since Loz18 is on both this page and the leaks page for his correct and incorrect content, we should leave the Minecraft mentions on this page, then move the rest over to the leaks page. Lou Cena (talk) 13:50, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

I support this proposition. CardboardLuigi (talk) 14:07, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

I support Vergeben is clearly notable enough. Jf811 (talk) 22:11, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

Support. Clear notability. Bwburke94 (talk) 17:26, July 7, 2019 (EDT)

Kraut Man Bad REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Seriously you still haven't done this yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.56.148.18 (talk • contribs) 00:58, August 1, 2019‎

We're still working on it. --Tailikku (talk) 23:49, September 2, 2019 (EDT)

Like you're working on the title change/split/merger with rumors that has been going on for five months now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.56.148.18 (talk • contribs) 00:53, September 3, 2019‎

I think you might be satisfied now, considering that the verdict has been reached. --Tailikku (talk) 11:40, September 3, 2019 (EDT)

Milk-BOSATU rumor

There is a rumor going on right after E3 2019 that a Japanese twitter user named Milk-BOSATU (or niconico_test_1 at his twitter account) has sources related to one of the DLC fighters in the fighters pass.

https://twitter.com/niconico_test_1/status/1050302553118859265

This one of the sources that Milk-BOSATU got right and this is just before Smash Ultimate was out and it said that the Hero from Dragon Quest will be in smash as a playable with alts based off other heroes (he also said that the hero doesn't have any female alts) and the Switch would have VR content, both of which are right (the Switch VR content is later revealed to be part of Nintendo Labo series and the Hero's alts are revealed in his trailer.).

Next up, Milk-BOSATU has sources given from his friend named, Mr. H and he stated that Mr. H went to Nintendo and saw one of the DLC fighters, here is a collection of links that Milk-BOSATU got from Mr. H.

https://twitter.com/niconico_test_1/status/1141276425644695552

Here is so far we know about Milk-BOSATU's info on the next character.

• She is a female.
• She throws a weapon like a hammer or a boomerang.
• She looks like a fighting game character which means that she might not be from a game franchise with a fighting genre.
• She will come right after Banjo and Kazooie.
• She is not Neptune or Reimu.
• The 3D model of her doesn't have color (probably from a 3D software).

Would you put that into the rumors page? --Andreepika11233 (talk) 16:25, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

• I personally think it should. It's reminiscent of similar rumors. CardboardLuigi (talk) 19:00, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
• Even though it's already on the rumors page, there's one big hole in the speculation: Team NepDon said that "H" visited Nintendo where they saw the untextured female model, even though Nintendo isn't the one making the game, but rather Bandai-Namco. --Tailikku (talk) 16:14, August 8, 2019 (EDT)

Moving to "Rumors"

While I personally think it should be moved instead to "Rumor" (we don't call the leak page "Leaks" after all), it always bothered me that this page was called "List of rumors" while the leak page was simply called "Leak". - EndGenuity (talk) 17:00, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

I support this move.--Tailikku (talk) 17:39, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

I oppose this move. Simply calling it "rumor" sounds very incomplete. CardboardLuigi (talk) 21:38, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

What if we moved Leak to List of Leaks instead? Lou Cena (talk) 13:44, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

I feel like that's a bit too wordy. Maybe Leaks would be a more suitable name than List of leaks. -- Scorbunny (talk • contributions) 14:12, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

I'm in full swing support, but I'd call the page Rumors instead since we are talking about numerous rumors. -- Scorbunny (talk • contributions) 14:12, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

Support for reasons mentioned above. Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Gamer Leave a message if needed 14:14, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

I support this move. The One IP Dude (talk) 13:35, June 28, 2019 (EDT)

Strong oppose because I think "leak" should instead be moved to "list of notable leaks", and this goes to "list of notable rumours". Toomai Glittershine The Interspacial 11:00, July 6, 2019 (EDT)

Support in theory, but superseded by the other request. I'd prefer both to be "List of..." if they had to share a title. Bwburke94 (talk) 17:26, July 7, 2019 (EDT)

Slight update: per my post on the leak page's talk, I am fine with any name as long as the names are made consistent. - EndGenuity (talk) 18:18, July 7, 2019 (EDT)

So, um... have we reached a consensus here? Asking so I can move this and/or Leak. Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Gamer Leave a message if needed 14:00, July 29, 2019 (EDT)

There's a complication with trying to make the move, since it claims that the page "Rumors" already exists, even though it doesn't exist. I think what is going on is that it is hitting a snag with the redirect.--Tailikku (talk) 13:43, September 13, 2019 (EDT)

Oppose "Rumors" sounds silly.SupαToαd64, the Best 06:37, September 24, 2019 (EDT)

Paragon Leak

So I only just now found out about this leak, but it's pretty interesting. Basically, before E3 2019, a Discord user by the name of Paragon claimed a number of things about the Fighters Pass, including the presence of Hero, with the Luminary as the default alt along with Erdrick, the Dragon Quest 8 protagonist, and one other one that they didn't recognize (Solo). They also noted that they would kick off the Direct (though they used the term "trailer") and that they would have a JRPG mechanic (presumably the MP Gauge). They then went on to say that Banjo's reveal would be a repeat of K. Rool's, but with Duck Hunt being the fakeout. (Additionally, they claimed Breath of the Wild 2 was happening.) This makes their next two claims a little more plausible - Challenger Pack 4 will reportedly feature Undertale representation, with the character likely being either Sans or Frisk, along with the claim that Waluigi will round out the Fighters Pass. Notably, Paragon also says that K. Rool's fate in Banjo's trailer - being buried underground - will lead into the Undertale reveal. I can understand that there are issues here - Waluigi is an Assist Trophy, and the rumored characters clash with other reputable leaks, but unless it's been debunked already, I think it deserves a spot on the list of rumors section. I've had my own reasons for thinking an Undertale rep could get in as well - we know Nintendo chose the DLC characters, and one of the first articles for the Indie News channel on the Switch was a two-part interview with Undertale dev Toby Fox. (This was in September, if I remember correctly.) There was a picture headlining it, showing Toby - his face covered up by the Annoying Dog - standing outside of Nintendo of Japan's headquarters. and the article confirmed he received a tour of the building. I would think that the interview was also conducted there, but why? Wouldn't it make more sense to hold the interview over the Internet, or even at Nintendo of America HQ? It makes me think that Toby was brought to the Japan HQ for a reason - Nintendo wanted to approach him about the possibility of including an Undertale character as DLC for Smash Ultimate. I think this leak might have a shot at being legit, but at the same time, I could definitely see that not being the case. Thoughts on adding it to the list of rumors section?

Oh, and here's the image: https://twitter.com/JakeofAura/status/1139994686691651587/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1139994686691651587&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcomicbook.com%2Fgaming%2F2019%2F06%2F19%2Fsuper-smash-bros-ultimate-nintendo-switch-dlc-waluigi%2F

PikaPhantom (talk) 16:09, July 17, 2019 (EDT)PikaPhantom

I saw this. Given:

A. a huge lack of major indie representation seen in Smash (we only have had Commander Video, Shantae, and Shovel Knight, but where are bigger ones like Cave Story or Binding of Isaac?)

B. Sakurai's near-outright refusal to make Waluigi a character

C. the fact that anyone can make a leak

I'm more inclined to believe that this was a case of someone having legitimate information (Hero and Banjo) and adding whatever they want on top to make them seem to know everything. That has happened before. Granted, if this proves to be true, I'll eat my words, but right now, I don't think this is all that noteworthy to put on here, because I only ever really saw a few people talk about this. Aidan, the Rurouni 16:16, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

I'd agree that Waluigi means it's bull, but i don't get why the presence of some indie content means more is less likely. Who even asked for Isaac, anyway? Crittler1000+ (talk) 15:09, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

I thought it was proven false, they're still parading this one around?

On a side note, King K. Rool being buried underground is obviously a reference to Gruntilda's fate at the end of Banjo-Kazooie, not the opening to Undertale. The stipulation at play here is on the same level as that "pancakes theory" regarding the same trailer. CardboardLuigi (talk) 20:35, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

Reply by random non-english guy - Waluigi could just be a symbol, someone that disguises another one, a code name, a lure... - The reference to Gruntilda's fate isn't an obstacle to it becoming the opening to Undertale.

About the Adeline “leak”

I leave you with this. Read the whole thread. https://twitter.com/shameless_SMT/status/1156121889460412416 Operationgamer17 (talk) 07:22, July 30, 2019 (EDT)

Terry Bogard

Yall motherfuckers are slow when this has been buzzing around all weekend, and then Kraut Man himself even confirmed the name as his "Leak" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.56.148.18 (talk • contribs) 21:39, September 2, 2019‎

Actually he didn't. He claimed that it would be Terry, not confirmed that it would be Terry. Again, you really seem to be obsessed with hating on Vergeben just because his confirmed rumors are still listed as rumors. But that's just it, he's still making claims. --Tailikku (talk) 23:49, September 2, 2019 (EDT)

Once is coincidence, twice is conspiracy, three times is enemy action, and He basically got half a dozen things right.. Meanwhile the DARLING of Smash Wiki Loz18 admitted over discord that his own "Leak" was a crapshoot guess he got lucky with, and got literally everything after that completely wrong. You people are hilarious with your UNIRONIC Kraut Man Bad shit that you dont even know when someone is parodying you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.56.148.18 (talk • contribs) 01:09, September 3, 2019‎

WE never said Loz18 was the darling, YOU did. I've almost half a mind to report your IP for your behavior, calling people almost unaffiliated with the wiki. And as was said before, he got lucky with his information, but he's still making claims so it's almost impossible to put him on the Leaks page.--Tailikku (talk) 10:05, September 3, 2019 (EDT)

And just proved my point by saying Vergeben is making "claims" after every "claim" ended up being true. Meanwhile I suppose Loz18 made actual leaks right? Isn't Skull Kid fun to play as?

Can you actually chill for a bit? Vergeben now (controversially) has a page, and Loz18 was year-old news. CookiesCreme 17:25, September 3, 2019 (EDT)

Oh Tailikku, what were you saying about being lucky?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.56.148.18 (talk • contribs) 19:14, September 4, 2019‎

Certainly not you, not Loz18. Again, you need to chill about both Vergeben and Loz18, and you need to learn to sign your comments.--Tailikku (talk) 19:22, September 4, 2019 (EDT)

I will repeat. Once is coincidence, Twice is Conspiracy, Three times is enemy action.. We are now up to at least 9. Or should i not believe my lying eyes and keep maining Skull Kid? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.56.148.18 (talk • contribs) 19:31, September 4, 2019‎.

That last option is the most viable for you, since Vergeben never made the claim for Skull Kid; your "waifu", "blessed" Loz18 did. Please, just stop.--Tailikku (talk) 20:09, September 4, 2019 (EDT)

Then why is Loz18, someone who over discord admitted his only real "Leak" was just a lucky guess still legitimized as a true leak. Far before Vergeben got that and WAY before Verge got his own page hmmm? Why is verge's section on said leak page with a prefix that Loz18 doesnt have when his track record is far and away better than Loz18. Why is it you think i been pulling this parody of Smash Wiki and the Kraut Man Bad act for so long to the point that you forgot the point of the parody. :P Maybe it's because someone is getting special treatment while not to the point of idolitry, it is to the point that other more proven leakers have not been given, especially the one who has gotten basically every claim he's made right.

Conspiracy or no, just give it up, now that you've outed yourself as a troll. --Tailikku (talk) 17:55, September 5, 2019 (EDT)

7-Eleven Posters

Since the two 7-Eleven posters we're intentionally published by Nintendo to advertise their content (albeit only in Japan), wouldn't those not count as rumors or leaks? Searingjet (talk) 13:23, September 3, 2019 (EDT)

The rumor comes from the date that they'll be taken down, not from the poster itself. Aidan, the Rurouni 14:28, September 3, 2019 (EDT)

In that case, wouldn't that just be speculation akin to the "box" theory, which isn't listed on this page? Searingjet (talk) 18:05, September 3, 2019 (EDT)

Miku-BOSATU 2 rumor

Should we consider this a fake at this point? It seems that Terry being the fourth character directly contradicts most of his/her claims. Rdrfc (talk) 18:29, September 5, 2019 (EDT)

I don't think we should, seeing as they mentioned that the fighter is female, and Terry has only been female for one game (not counting being Midnight Blissed in SVC Chaos).--Tailikku (talk) 19:41, September 5, 2019 (EDT)

The Terry we got is male and their source implied that they saw a model of the character in development.Rdrfc (talk) 03:54, September 6, 2019 (EDT)

He did not claim that the character was the 4th, so we should wait. --Capstalker (talk) 10:39, September 11, 2019 (EDT)

Terry has a ponytail, so it's understandable that he would think it's a female. --Fool to the Floss (talk) 15:29, September 11, 2019 (EDT)

No, he said the character wears Japanese clothes, obviously not Terry.--Capstalker (talk) 22:02, September 11, 2019 (EDT)

Could that model he was talking about could be a female alt for Terry? --MasterChief (talk) 19:10, October 9, 2019 (EDT)

Aside from the fact that the supposed character in question wears traditional Japanese clothes, it's very unlikely that we are going to get a Fatal Cutie alt because alternate costumes have to share the same skeleton and animations, and girl Terry isn't tall and muscular enough to work. Rdrfc (talk) 03:33, October 10, 2019 (EDT)

Shinobi602

Before Banjo and Kazooie were revealed at E3, they were leaked by this Internet user named "shinobi602", who has also been right with other leaks in the past. Do you guys plan on adding that leak as a section? Here is the message that leaked Banjo. 108.171.135.188 12:06, September 6, 2019 (EDT)

It was moved to the Leaks page. --Tailikku (talk) 13:02, September 6, 2019 (EDT)

Update on that Doom rumor

I think it should be added that now, Doom 64 is announced for Switch, so maybe that's what he meant in the interview? --MasterChief (talk) 18:46, September 10, 2019 (EDT)

It's important to add, but no way to know for sure that that's ALL he meant. Both Doom: Eternal and Doom 64 launch just before the Game Awards, where we are likely getting the 5th character reveal. So we'll see. The One IP Dude (talk) 09:20, September 20, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah since we've heard that Doom 64 is simultaneously releasing on all major consoles, and not just the Switch, I believe there is more to his claim. As nothing exclusive has been announced for the Switch. All Doom ports are multi-platform. The One IP Dude (talk) 11:06, October 19, 2019 (EDT)

Simon/Chrom/Incineroar amiibo

I noticed that on https://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/line-up/ Simon, Chrom and Incineroar amiibos are listed to release on 15th October this year. Amiibos were released some time after release of DLC fighter. Does this mean that Terry is going release in first half of October?

It says they're coming out November 15th for me, so the "November 2019" release date wasn't a lie. CardboardLuigi (talk) 10:41, September 21, 2019 (EDT)

Whoops, sorry, English is my second language, i confused months. Also, sorry for late reply

PapaGenos

I heavily disagree with adding anything PapaGenos related on here. He has consistently posted false leaks and is overall very unreliable. Also, I believe if he's basically taboo on our Discord server, that should say something for his inclusion here. CookiesCreme 11:27, October 19, 2019 (EDT)

This particular rumor has blown up on GameFAQS. PapaGenos isn't focused on posting leaks, he covers them, and mainly the big ones. There's no credible evidence that he is unreliable when he is closely connected with credible leakers like VRPlant and Sabi. The only people upset with him, are the ones that claim PapaGenos supported the Grinch Leak. In his videos since the Grinch Leak, he has stated multiple times, that he had sources claiming Banjo would be DLC, and so as MANY people did, he thought the Grinch leak had some credibility, because he was hearing Banjo's name. (He explains this in his videos after Banjos reveal). Many of the rumors posted in the Smash Ultimate section, are leaks that PapaGenos has covered before, but never does he personally back these claims. Instead he'll often be upfront and tell his viewers not to believe a rumor like all the recent Geno and Ryu news. I argue to keep this post here, until the fifth DLC character has been announced, as PapaGenos' sources have been proven reliable, and that the source he credits in the video was verified by three other people. The One IP Dude (talk) 11:45, October 19, 2019 (EDT)

If it blew up on GameFAQs, why not call it some GameFAQs leaks or the like instead of PapaGenos? It's better to link where it originated. CookiesCreme 11:48, October 19, 2019 (EDT)

Originated with PapaGenos, has since blown up on GameFAQS and other Smash boards. His video explains that the leak is from his Discord source, who also correctly leaked Banjo, Hero, Mii Costumes. PG mentions in the video, that the Mii Costume leak was verified by three other people, not just him. The YouTube video is the most convenient link for this topic. Again, keep this here until Fighter 5 gets announced then it can get deleted, because at this time the leaker has been credible with Banjo, Hero and Mii Costume leaks. The One IP Dude (talk) 11:57, October 19, 2019 (EDT)
