What's a shame is that this game from a gameplay perspective looks cool and concept wise it's also pretty sweet.

But the edge levels from the main character are Dirge of Cerberus levels of edge...

And yet Vincent wasn't anywhere near edgy. I mean, design-wise and voiced by Steve Blum, I guess, but personality-wise, Vincent was nowhere near the term. If anything, Jack is honestly more closer to Shadow the Hedgehog.

Honestly, that leak sounds very real. I have always had this weird feeling about Rayman going into it. He is probably my most wanted so it would make me happy. I am also pretty confident in a LOZ rep due to the new BOTW game and the anniversary.

I would be happy with this ending.

What were the contents of the leak aside from the two Smash characters?

I find it very hard to believe it as real because the premise seems outlandish.

We just got a transforming character, and they're effectively Melee Clones of one another.


How am I supposed to believe 4 characters, all with unique movesets, properties, etc, all in one slot, and for 5.99$.

4 different champions as one character slot is ridiculous. Just give Mipha alone I'd be happy.

True but it could be a Pokemon Trainer kind of situation. Then again Sakurai has had 3 years to make 11 DLC characters, that is as much time as the full development of all of Smash Ultimate with its 70-something characters as well as levels and modes.

I am not sure if 4 Champions thing is real but I am hearing a lot of rumblings about a LOZ character and it does seem very likely.

There wasn't anything.


The reason this gained traction is because Imran was talking about the story of BotW and used the phrase "Smash cut" in regards to them being killed off. Coupled with Arlo predicting them, and Gamexplain making a video of a potential moveset of this, people are running wild with it.


But Imran seems like he never intended it to even Be about Smash. He, and the rest of ResetEra, we poking fun at people who thought it was.

There's just too many "Yeah, nah." things about the whole deal.

"The dude on Gamefaqs!"... was banned. Not sure why, but his account got nuked over something. Doesn't mean he was lying per se, but he did something to bring the wrath down on him.


"Imran said!".... he said a film term, which he used in the correct context. Just because it has "Smash" in the word doesn't mean its related to Smash Bros. How he acted on ResetEra seems to imply he never meant for this to be taken as speculation.


"Arlo predicted".... and? Why would Arlo have secret insider info that no one else has? No offense to Arlo, I'm subbed to him, but I don't see why his word holds any weight as opposed to anyone esle.


"Gamexplain's video!"... Gamexplain isn't stupid. I severely doubt they'd make a video on leaked Smash info at this point while trying to cover it up as a guess. These are the same folks that tried their best to ignore the Grinch leak(Because they most likely knew it was fake).


And either way, Imran isn't the kinda guy to leak something soo out in the open. This is the guy who leaked Min Min via 6 paragraphs. I don't think he'd do something as obvious as "Champions, Smash, lul."

Also, Irman and especially Arlo and Gameexplain would not risk a blacklisting for being this blatant about a leak. Odds are, this is the community chomping at the bit hoping the slightest bit of info comes crashing into them. Odds are we won’t know who is coming until 11:59 EST at the earliest.

He's suspended (Which is a temp ban) and the topic was deleted. Chances are, it was for trolling. Given the fact that he was suspended for it, the chances are high that it was an alt account by a known trouble maker. GFAQs is pretty harsh on moderations towards alternate accounts.

I'm totally okay with 4 Champions or even Rayman, but I'd rather want Champions to be separate characters, so if we really get that hypothetical one last bonus character on addition to them, the CSS finally feels to be completed.

If I had to pick one, it would personally be Revali. Urbosa would be 2nd.

And since you're here, do you know what the Japanese forum goers are currently predicting as the reveal(s)?

I wasn't really too interested in seeing a new Zelda rep simply because I feel the series is represented well already. Only having one champion also almost feels like creating a void where the other champions feel like they're missing from the roster.

Though, when I heard the idea of having the King of Hyrule in Smash, I was so down for it! It sounds like such an interesting, fun concept for a character who is important, yet hasn't gotten much screentime through the series.

I'm pretty much hedging my bets on 2 outcomes

1. We get 1 Reveal and a Sakurai Presents set for later this week or next week

2. We get no reveal and instead get a Sakurai Presents announcement for Next week

Arlo wouldn't leak anything because he despises leaks. I also don't think he'd have insider info.

I'm unsure why no reveal is being entertained as a possibility. I could totally see it not being a double reveal, but come on now. It's an E3 direct and it's four months after the last reveal. The Sakurai Presents doesn't need to be right away, nor does it need to coincide with the initial reveal; it only rarely has.
To blue-ball it - let alone for only a week - is absolutely absurd. Why would they kneecap their E3 like that?

Looks like the guy who started the 4 Champions/Rayman leak got banned from Gamefaqs.


I have no idea what caused it.

Pretty sure he was just trolling, no one took him seriously there because he was a low karma account with lack of sources ergo he got banned. Literal 4chan tier. No way they are gonna add another stance character that makes even less sense in canon.

Ancient Helm mii also pretty much deconfirms a BOTW 2 rep, 1st party characters in general aren't in a very good spot rn. Your best bet would be Ayumi to shill her new game but even that is doubtful.

goes to Youtube to watch a video
sees a specific trailer in the recommended section

Well, that probably gave SharkLord SharkLord a fright for a moment.

all said I'm pretty comfortable without leaks, the reveal is tomorrow and we don't have a single clue of who it will be
imo that just makes it more exciting

While I find the concept too complex to realistically make it in at this point, I'd be pretty psyched to see the 4 Champions thing happen. They'd certainly be different from a lot of other fighters on the roster,

I dunno, he'd probably be too OP. I mean, gliding was enough to get Meta Knight banned, after all...
