Yep. I find it "too good to be true", even if Incineroar is not in.

I'm leaning towards it's fake but we will have to wait if anyone can find something wrong in it or the next Direct, which I hope it's soon.

The wait is killing me...

Not an easy photoshop to do, and that blank picture of battlefield is something we've never seen before. However, all the talk of Incineroar makes me think he must be in the game is some form. He was said too much to be another Gameatsu situation

Well, if that mural leak is real (which I'm still cautious about believing, as always), I'm really torn. On one hand, it's sad to see Incineroar isn't on there. But on the other hand, I do kind of low-key want Banjo and Mach Rider.

I find it weird that Incineroar's name has been tossed around so much during smash speculation to not be in the game at this point. I think either he's in the game in some form other than character, or he's DLC

While other people might see this leak as the dashing hero slaying the ugly beast, I don't. Assuming the Grinch Leak is the real deal, I would be sorry for you guys having your most wanted getting hyped up all for nothing/a Poké Ball.

Sweating heavy bullets myself.

Banjo is a wtf, but Pokemon getting passed up is unheard of!

I'm super mixed and a little distraught but DLC is possible, but ****.

I like this.

If this turns out fake and Incineroar pans out, we got a hell of a heel story. Win/win.

I'm still not gonna say this thing is perfectly likely or anything, I could see where and how it could be faked(Albeit a very well and planned out fake). Personally there's not a single character I want here lol, Incineroar is the only one I'm interested in, so that would be unfortunate.

Guys. Let's say Incineroar is revealed and proves this whole mural leak wrong, what many are calling a "Dream Roster". Our character would receive a wave of hate that tooooootally eclipses what we get now. Honestly I think it would be pretty funny, and even more satisfying to make such a comeback

So you create this thread and now are among the first to lose hope because of a well-made fake leak?

C'mon bro. Don't leave the Heel hanging. The rest of us haven't.
While I'm still uncertain about the leak myself, you're definitely right! We gotta keep support strong! Until it's proven real for certain, he's still got a chance!

Ick!!! I wanted out final reveals already so we wouldn't enter mass image leaks and get spoiled on it. Sakurai!!! Why you got to wait on things?!?! Also dislike how suddenly the "anti-leakers" love leakers cause it showed their character but hated it when it was Incineroar. I prefer text leaks cause they can easily be fake, image and video leaks this late into the game just ruin everything.

Do I think it's real or fake? No way i can prove it either way. It's well done... but Big Foot videos and pictures are to. Both are also always out of focus and have excuses. "It's a snapchat picture of a bracelet." doesn't excuse it still being a blurry mess of crap. "It's take someone with graphic artwork and promotional talents to do this." Ya and? Many video games nerds get into that stuff. Is it that hard to think some Smash geek decided to use his career to become a big time "leaker" for that hype, controversy, and glory? Yes it is.

It would be the ultimate heel move.

My ideal scenario is Incineroar being the bonus DLC but my god that's funny.

I'm a little worried if there is no Pokemon rep in the base roster because there would be more pokemon competitors, like Dusk Lycanroc and maybe a Gen 8 Rep but I'll not lose hope now.

I still don't think the leak is real, we will have to wait for the next newcomer and not only it would have to be one of those 7 but it needs to be drawn exactly like it appears on the mural for the leak to be proven true (the position may change, but it's not likely).

Don't give up boys. Just hold on and imagine a world where the next reveal trailer we see is of Incineroar. Imagine the salt. Imagine the rage. Imagine the tears. All those that laughed and mocked us now, reduced to groveling babies. The night is always darkest before the dawn boys, you know this, and it sure as hell is dark right now.

The other members of the boards are laughing at us right now. They're celebrating like Incineroar is dead and gone, mocking his character and everyone who stood with him. All across different communities of certain characters, there's gloating at our expense, like we're trash. I've read their threads, I know what they're saying. Don't listen to them. Just imagine the anguish and pain they'll feel when our favourite heel shatters their dreams.

I mentioned it was dark now, but it isn't dark for us. Oh no. It's dark for them. The fact that they can't see it yet is evidence of this, who the hell can see in the dark right? Incineroar is the underdog now. The unexpected newcomer. He's no longer the character everyone knows is coming, he's the character that will destroy the dreams of hundreds of smashers when he arrives. He'll have his own "Dream Eater" move on display in fact, even if he doesn't use it in Pokemon.

Just have faith guys, the champion will be arriving soon to take his rightful place among Nintendo's all-stars... and his enemies will weep and bow at his feet.

(with that said though, I hope Shadow still makes it in as an Echo).

I'm not buying it just quite yet. The idea that we could have a Smash without a new Pokemon rep seems so farfetched to me.

Can't know for certain until we get a new direct. Ah, the anticipation...

There being 7 newcomers left makes me think the leak is fake for that reason alone until we see one of those characters in action and they match the model. I don't believe any leaks after Rayman unless there from a good source. I guess someone give vergeben bad info if the leak is true.

I'll admit, I'm getting a little discouraged that my bara boi will be in Smash. Nevertheless, it's more characters... I dunno... Dunno why they'd pass up Pokemon rep.

DLC is not a viable option, honestly.

Only DLC options would be on the order of Zeraora or Melmetal.

Look, I really want Incineroar in the game. But if I had to make a choice between Incineroar/Ken/Square Rep/Another echo or the mural leak, i would take the mural leak without a doubt. So, I'm objective about what I'm going to say.

This mural leak is probably fake:

- Many people are pointing out many mistakes made by the leaker (some shadows disappeared, the mii's sword looking weird)
- Incineroar is nowhere to be seen while Vergeben (the guy who got nothing wrong about Smash) confirmed him again and again.
- The simple presence of Mach Rider. Sakurai though about him, just like he though about James Bond, but it never was a serious idea in his mind. He joked about Mach Rider in an interview, just saying that "the name's cool lol".
- Sakurai said "don't expect too many newcomers" and "we're going to slow down with reveal" and all of a sudden, they announce 7 characters ? Come on.
- Banjo-Kazooie is DLC material, not base game (this is basic marketing).
- People are just crazy to get their 15 minutes of fame, they'll do everything they can for this.
- We have no actual reasons to believe it. There's just NOTHING. Remember the mural picture with Bomberman ? Everyone with talent can make a convincing leak.

Once again, If I had to sacrifice Incineroar to get Banjo-Kazooie, Shadow, Isaac, Geno and Mach Rider in the game, I would do it without a doubt. But come on, this leak is fake. People just want it to be true.

Incineroar is still getting in.

C'mon guys, we're supposed to be one of the toughest support groups out there thanks to always being below and put down by every single other character. We've still got a big chance for us to come through in the end. Things aren't as bleak as some may think

I agree I haven't lost hope at all!

From the company: https://www.facebook.com/147749832060539/posts/1070378256464354/

Translation:
Rumors of privacy leak on the latest version of the super smash bros game report a link to our company. All these rumors only support one idea, journalism is not limited to searching google.
Indeed, the person involved in this "rumor", if so, is no longer present in our company since November 2016., which has not put its linkedin profile up to date, some wanted to make a rapprochement with The Marina workshops that cannot exist.
Namco is a company we have worked with and with which we want to work again, this is not the case currently for the launch of super smash bros ultimate. These rumours are therefore discrediting our widely recognized professionalism, particularly with regard to our confidentiality commitments.
We are now contacting all these sites and namco / Nintendo to remove this false information and evaluate the judicial suites to be given.
The Marina Team.

It just makes sense to me that Incineroar is the gift DLC just like Mewtwo was for 4. Game Freak is notorious about their IPs despite technically being a Nintendo property so the chance is there and it'd also explain why he's not on the banner leak. Plus rumors of Incin being a fake leak character or not being decided on identity-wise until late in development...it just makes sense that after the final direct they'd say something like "Look out for this character in December if you're an NSO subscriber!"

I don't know. There's a lot that's making me cautiously optimistic about the best of both worlds.

See the reason why I think big papa tiger is indeed in is due to well out of every 7th gen mon with Mimikyu being a close second Incineroar is in everything.

Due to the timing it'll be so weird if no one from gen 7 is in the game period.
