Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

Oh a new rumor.
h.
Well. I don't hate it.

Isabelle would probably be my favorite out of this group, because I love that funky little dog. Shadow, Skull Kid, Ken, all fairly "okay" choices. Isaac is... Isaac. Maybe. Rythym Heaven might be a fun playstyle, but I hate to see them getting in over the Dee. And anime is anime. I don't hate neither Ayumi nor Agnes' design. Not the worst, but I think playstyle would really define them for me. I doubt good ol ? is anyone I care about. So it's probably Incineroar, or Banjo, or maybe Geno. Or someone completely out of the blue! This would still be an amazing roster, nevertheless. And I seriously doubt BWD would be an AT, considering Kawasaki exists, so that frees him up for DLC status.

Worst-Case Scenario: the question mark is Waluigi and everyone's day is ruined.
Best-Case: It's a stand in for many more characters (including BWD) and everyone is generally happy.

IF we get ANYONE from Bravely Default it's got to be Ringabel

Consider the following:
GENO EXISTS
Geno is nowhere to be found among the pics, and there is only one question mark spot, which is most likely for the Gen 7 Pokemon. Meanwhile, there's this brunette girl who looks suspiciously like Agnes.

Neither the eyes or the hair style look like Agnes

Forgive me for looking really dumb but I just don't see it. I can see the hair looks differently between your image and the one we're discussing, but it doesn't look too crazy for it to be artistic differences given the shape and flow of the hair still looks preserved.

I can't see any other differences but I also didn't play FF7 so I'm literally just meeting this character now.
A big point of contention is the eye colour.

That girl in the image has grey or lilac eyes.

Tifa has red/brown eyes.

Not to mention that, considering how Cloud looks in Smash, Tifa would probably look near identical to that render I posted (which is an official render by Square Enix).

How many Ringabel's are there in Bravely Default?

2

How many Agnes is there?

1

Ringabel is more important.

And it suspiciously looks like 3 other girls, so what? Did the fake leak in question ever say "yeah this is the entire roster fam" or did he just drop pictures?

Given Sakurai's own comments as well as Vergeben's, this is most likely the full roster.

I really do hope that person Mimique retweeted is right and that there is a real, general Direct next week.

The fervor has been there for the past couple of weeks. They've gotten indies and mobile games out of the way. It does feel about time for another one.

I can sort of see the eyes looking grey/brown to me, and given the blurry effect on the image, it's possible the color in the render isn't exact.

That said I have no idea who this could be if it isn't Tifa because it's not Agnes and it would be a strange overhaul for Ayumi. I don't know who this otherwise generic anime girl is supposed to be.

You really shouldn't put so much value into leaks. Verge didn't say anything about Chrom, Richter, Dark Samus, King K. Rool or whether or not Isabelle would be an Echo. So it's very clear that he doesn't know the whole entire roster, what are you even basing this on?

Sometimes Issac's hair fluctuates between golden boy blonde and light brown. It's a bit inconsistent.

Also, someone better at art stuff can probably correct me, but that Skull Kid pic doesn't really look all that similar to anything. At first glance, you can pass it off as just the Smash 4 trophy, but even by rotating the trophy pic, the angle at which the mask is at, as well as the direction the eyes are facing don't match. There are other things too, such details of the mask in this "leaked" pic being thinner or wider, the horns on the mask looking thinner, and some different colors being used or blended differently.

Again, the varying art styles might be because some are taken from the game, and some from the banner. I also can't find any correlating images for any of these pictures. (The Skull Kid Smash 4 trophy is the closest I got, but even that's got some inconsistencies that I explain above).

The only thing that knocks this down is each of the pics having varying resolutions. If they were real, perhaps whoever took them was in a rush? Anxious because they know the danger of Nintendo's ninjas? Or it could be a hoax, and whoever made this is just a fairly good artist.

For the record, I'm not saying these are real. However, it would be wise to keep a tab on these pics just in case.

Given that we just had Nindies yesterday and have mobile Dragon game direct in 45 minutes, I doubt we're getting a direct next week.

People had similar inconsistencies about the ESRB Leak roster, from Mr Game & Watch's hand going into Wario's square to Shulk being a photoshopped Little Mac. I do not believe that the leak is real. I'm just saying possibilities.

At least the ESRB leak, back when it was in speculations, the renders didn't look flat or off as hell. Just look at Shadow, things are awfully wrong there.

I think renders have gotten to the point of where there's being so much detail put into them you are gonna have a hard time replicating them unless you're like the Meteos leak which actually did a decent job at using the simplicity of the character to its advantage.

I remember a couple weeks back there was a """leak""" featuring Silvally and Geno.
No one could find the Silvally render so everyone thought it was real, but then they found what Geno was based on.

No one wants to factor in that the images could be edited or based on something totally unrelated to the picture either.

Probably the worst fake leak I've seen yet… Skull kid is clearly his AT model from Smash 4. If the third one is isaac i gotta say one thing… HE IS BLONDE, NOT BROWN HAIRED. Anyways it looks like someone made a smashified version of his face just to make this leak (doesn't take that long to make, trust me). Ken looks like artwork as well, lmao the blurr on half of his face then his mouth is completely sharped down. All in all, as a graphic designer and artist myself, those pictures made my eyes hurt to the point they laughed, yes, my eyes LAUGHED, go figure that one out, lol.

Literal Who doesn’t even look like that.

I knew we'd be getting a Universal Rep because of Nintendo's theme park crud, but I thought Sakurai would pick Shrek or Vin Diesel. Ah well, I guess it makes sense. He must've wanted content from the Konami Grinch game.

Tifa's eyes are pretty vivid in their colour (which I guess would be Maroon), those eyes are super pale.

Tifa's eyes are This colour, that girl in the render's eyes are This colour.

If that's Tifa, she's horrendously off model.

Almost as if they read them and tried to make themselves look legit.
If he wanted to make them look more legit, he should've included Incineroar, as Loz did post a PM from Vergeben earlier this month saying that one of his sources said Incineroar.

This leak is definitely debunked though, the Skull Kid pic is CLEARLY the smash 4 trophy.

Next week, probably not.

Mid September? Way more plausible.
Yeah if we follow a similar pattern to last year, mid september is the most possible (last year it was the 13th i think) unless nintendo surprises us for some reason being earlier this time for whatever reason they could have...

I feel like I take leaks more seriously if I can at least tell who all the characters are supposed to be.

More retro characters does mean more retro tracks, and hell this thing is a banger.

Is this “leak” the real deal? Or will our heroes discover a surprising secret and save the internet from lies?

Stay tuned for the next 10 minutes on SmashboardLeakZ!
