if 3.0.0 breaks replays (it probably will), they'd presumably want to give a fair amount of warning beforehand
and if it's a Direct, they'd want to give a few days' heads-up prior to that
so, uh, clock's ticking on this one
Finally, some interesting claims.
Not sure what that picture is or how to test it, so I'll focus on text.
Duel Smash sounds dumb and against design of preference matchmaking, but I can't rule that out.
What sounds peculiar to me is "no third party stage parts" or whatever that was. If these are based on "portable" elements of stages, few third party ones would exist, but some do - Windy Hill has the spring which sounds like one of easiest things to implement. At the same time this limitation applies to loads of non-guest stage elements as well, so it would be simpler to say "selected franchises get parts". If the parts are made from scratch, then it's surprising that no guest franchise got any, unless, again, very few series get them in the first place, but then, again, why would one single out third parties.
Leaning towards fake based on this.

That leak's interesting. Hope that it's right about franchise elements being included in stage builder. Each major franchise as its own palette a la Mario Maker?
They really do need to have a way to share stages online though, it would be a weird downgrade from Wii U. And I'm also hoping for a Mii costume set that includes some of my favorites from Smash 4 like Geno and Protoman.
Not really related, but what do people want Joker's alt colors to be? My two ideas were colors corresponding to the different Phantom Thieves, or palettes that reference other Persona protagonists. The possibility of the "Jane" datamine does throw a wrench in that though. It'll be interesting to see!

< Persona series music
< Persona and SMT series music
< MegaTen umbrella music
< Atlus music in general, featuring Yoko Shimomura's work from Radiant Historia
At least throw in a SMT medley or some subway/underground district themes for Mementos.
That picture also seems to betray what appears to be Joker's idle stance:
Unless it's some weird mid-frame animation.
I'm hoping they changed his idle animation to be his stealth stance, but I doubt it.
That's really the case for all of the "spoilers" brought up in this discussion, even the potential Persona 5 spoilers the stage would contain if that leak was real.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the stance either. I was hoping for something more like this:
Angling the knife like he does in Smash just seems... awkward and impractical.
My post was an earnest question, not a callout. I don't care what stage they go with because it won't be the casino.
Generally assume it'll be the other Phantom Thieves, but I'd enjoy a couple related to previous Jokers in Persona, like P2's. If the Jane thing pans out, fingers crossed for a Maya color. Also really hope that the music he brings isn't just P5, but across all SMT. The series has so many good tunes that restricting it to one game, or even just modern 3-5 Persona would be a disservice.
edit:
Actually happened with Mother 3 back in the day. "Oh no, it's a big spoiler!" "What, that's not just referencing the Mother 2 Pokey?" Sometimes drawing attention to the spoiler is the worst thing you could do, since otherwise people would pay it no mind =P
Yeah, it's the most likely scenario even if it's the most disappointing one. However, I highly doubt Atlus is as protective of its music as Square is and the press release posted by Nintendo alongside Joker's reveal specifically called out the SMT series as a whole, so fingers crossed I guess.
edit: Speaking of which, if Jack Frost is part of Joker's moveset I really hope there's a pallete that makes Jack look Virtual Boy inspired.
Bayo is listed as Bayonetta 2 on the website, so there's hope.
Or that, yeah. It's not bad, but it's odd Sakurai would make up a stance when Joker already has a couple, plus looking at Mega Man and the Belmonts...Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the stance either. I was hoping for something more like this:
Angling the knife like he does in Smash just seems... awkward and impractical.
I'm assuming it's to make him more different than he would be, or perhaps he uses the knife backhand in the anime. It could also be related to one of the new games, or "Jane".
EDIT: I mean reverse grip.
I'm not talking about website listings.
Here are the times they have used the crossover format in the trailers:
Ryu: Super Smash Bros. X Street Fighter
Cloud: Super Smash Bros. X Final Fantasy VII
Simon: Super Smash Bros. X Castlevania
Joker: Super Smash Bros. X Persona 5
Bayonetta didn't even get one in her trailer.
I like how they didn't specify Street Fighter II but excluded everything else anyway.
I'm hoping for school clothes and/or casual clothes. I played most of Persona 5 wearing those outfits instead of the phantom thief outfit. Joker looks cool in glasses!
I spent like 75% of my playtime in P5 with Joker wearing this:
Will be a shame when I inevitably can't Smash as Santa.
Maybe he'll get this as an alt colour. Just won't have the hat.
Exclude Morgana and Futaba and that leaves enough boy thieves and girl thieves for Jack and Jane to reference.
Sakurai never acknowledged K. Rool and Ridley's friendship like I hoped he would. :(
But the spoil the non-existent plots in the Smash single players and suddenly Sakurai loses his mind. lol
Remember when sakurai made a post brawl blog post explaining the plot of subspace.
Nintendo being all innovative again. Having story based DLC before they even had DLC!!!
I unironically loved it
It makes me sad that we'll (probably) never see something on the scale of SSE in terms of production values but penned entirely by Sakurai himself
Do people still complain about online?
I can't even remember the last time I got in a match that wasn't my preferred rules, or at least either battlefield or FD.
At this point, I see the 3.0 update just dropping with little fanfare. One where you'll just have to try out the new stuff yourself instead of having it all shown to you. They really blew it by having absolutely nothing meaningful to say about the 3.0 update or Joker since the last big update.
Last time I tried to play online I got into a team match 3 times in a row, followed by a battlefield duel followed by a hazardless free for all
so yes
I got a Little Mac on Pac-Land with items in Elite Smash.
I get my fair share of item matches and non-BF/FD still.
Do it Capcom I mean Sakurai
No no no the arcade stick thread is that way. 👉 👉
