Talk:Kid Icarus: Uprising

The Sneeze and the Unused Inside Cover Art (or lack thereof)
As far as I can see, all of the images of Pit on the inside cover of the box are used in the game. So, I'd have to assume that the pose you're referring to is also used in the International versions. I'm pretty sure half of that description can be removed. However, since the sneezing role in the final battle was reversed, it can be kept on the page. --AquaBat 21:21, 14 August 2013 (EDT)
 * I left Hades a surprise since the intro text seemed to be keeping the second half of the game hidden, but it doesn't really matter here I guess. Although I don't recall where else Pit's sneezing pose was used in the game. You can see it in this video. LinkTheLefty 23:22, 14 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Since Nintendo's made it quite a surprise that Hades's the final boss/Big Bad, it brings up an interesting point: Does TCRF have a spoiler tag? Like, if you rollover black text the final boss name appears, or select it with your mouse, ect. like other Wikias have. If this isn't a thing here, it should be. I guess. Then again, if you're looking for UNUSED CONTENT IN A GAME....maybe you don't care about spoilers/have beaten it.
 * At least there should be a warning on the front page. "Warning! This wikia contains spoilers! Proceed with caution!" or something. Also maybe on the top of each page or something? I only say all this because I've seen it all done before. And I've had my fair share of games spoiled by interviews and such. *COUGH* Skyward Sword ending details in Nintendo Power one month after the game came out *COUGH* Robotortoise 23:38, 23 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Please don't call it a wikia. Its not a wikia. --Hiccup (talk) 12:30, 29 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Alright, so I finally got around to checking that video and I see the unused pose, but it's not featured on the inside box art. You might have mixed it up with Pit's shocked pose, which IS featured on the inside box art. Nevertheless, I'll re-add the pose part to the article. --AquaBat (talk) 15:47, 29 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Okay, it's not a wikia? I guess I just assumed it was, as the formatting seems similar, just not with the ".wikia" domain in the address. Huh. Robotortoise (talk) 19:11, 29 August 2013 (EDT)
 * It's not a wikia, rather a site powered by MediaWiki. Several other wikis use MediaWiki, mainly because it allows much more creative freedom. But we're getting a bit off-topic... --AquaBat (talk) 20:42, 29 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Huh. Neat. Robotortoise (talk) 21:11, 29 August 2013 (EDT)

Unused Idols
It's not very hard to argue with the idols, as there's video proof, but I think it's odd that the person showing the idols claims that the source claims that the idols were extracted via the game files...when 3DS carts haven't been decrypted yet. I wonder if some guy just spent a few days flashing random colors on his computer screen with the AR card template and hoping it would register, or something like that.

 * 3DS ROMs have been decrypted by a few hackers, but nothing much has been leaked (to my knowledge). -Einstein95 (talk) 23:20, 8 February 2014 (EST)
 * Darn. But again, is there some kind of way to test random colors with the main card design and see if you can get any new idols? I would assume the checks for them are still in the game. Robotortoise (talk) 22:29, 10 February 2014 (EST)
 * I saw a video of two supposedly-unreleased idols. It wasn't just pictures with on-screen text, either, but actual demonstrative footage of both idols doing their thing. I forget whose video it was, but the idols were "Medusa (Rare)" and "Pit (Victory Pose)" or something like that. --Peardian (talk) 23:25, 10 February 2014 (EST)

 * After going so far as to prevent future Smealum shenanigans on the XY article, I honestly shouldn't have made a whole section from a chuggaaconroy video with an "anonymous source". Unlike Smealum, we don't know if a hacker even EXISTS, let alone actually decrypted the game as suggested. Though the Idols are quite convincing, we do need solid proof of their existance. --AquaBat (talk) 00:37, 11 February 2014 (EST)
 * Yes, I think his source is lying about the hacks. But again, I want to bring up my point more clearly. So I theorize that the cards in the video weren't "hacked" out of the game, I surmise, rather, that someone managed to decrypt the AR cards. You know that colored bit in the right hand side of the AR card? That's actually some form of barcode or identification that helps the 3DS recognize which card is being placed in front of the camera. This was confirmed in an Iwata issue, actually. But would it be possible to decrpyt the codes? I mean, there's like 400 cards. There must be a big enough sample size to figure out some of the meaning. (For instance, land cards might have a certain shape one color, ect.) or if someone can code it, an easier way would probably be to make a computer program that flashes various colors in the shapes and point a 3DS camera at it for a few hours. Did I make myself clear? I tend to write things confusing-ly. Robotortoise (talk) 15:48, 11 February 2014 (EST)
 * I highly doubt that someone would take that much time and effort to bruteforce such a complicated AR code. Besides, the entire card needs to be visible when scanning, you can't just flash random colors on a screen.


 * We're not even sure if the game is programmed to recognize cards for these Idols, if they really do exist. At this point, they're most likely either fakes or a minor hush-hush leak of information from a generous hacker that did, in fact, manage to decrypt parts of the game. --AquaBat (talk) 16:25, 11 February 2014 (EST)
