Were you planning on having Xander Mobus help you with your Rayman hoax?
This guy is a complete legend in my opinion. Well done to fooling me and many others. Nice to see Source Gaming pay respects to people who cause such a stir in the community.
Can’t believe you forgot he made a render of Klonoa.
We didn’t forget! Klonoa techniclally predates the Smashified team (it was still passed off as a Smash for Wii U/3DS leak).
If I included Klonoa then I thought I would have to include the Kirby Hats and other amazing things he’s created and there would be no end to it.
Do you think there’s still unused stuff to datamine in Smash 3DS/Wii U?
How do you (Omni) feel about the way you went about the Rayman leak?
Do you think people were justified to be angry at you? (I was one of them for a while lol but I’ve come to terms with my destroyed dream after a while)
Have anyone from Nintendo noticed or talked with you/smashified/the smashified team? I wonder if Sakurai ever saw something about it.. xD
