Masked Marauders - Skull Kid For Smash! Night of the Last Day.

[DNeon]

Recent update (maybe old news), some people are thinking Skull Kid may actually be in the Grinch/Banner leak.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77129698

Unfortunately, while there's nowhere on the

Spoiler

bike

as we currently know it that has the dots to fit, the pose of

Spoiler

Mach Rider

makes 0 sense if they're not mounting their

Spoiler

bike

in the picture. So while the dots don't looke like they belong to that character from a visual standpoint, from a contextual standpoint the dots seem very much connected to them.

 

[Kensho]

It just doesn't look at all like skull kid, colors, pose and position. Why would they put it under Mach rider, not show the colors of the mask and hide the body??? Skull kid would be floating showing off the iconic mask. It's the bike, don't hold on to this. If image editing nuts in 4chan didn't consider it could be Majora's, it is not. Gamefaqs is the last place where you'll get good speculation. If this leak turns out real I'll just expect skull kid for DLC

 

[All Hail Me]

I honestly do not expect any leak to be real. We’ll just have to wait for the direct in the next few weeks

 

[ThomasMagmar]

I am also not sure if I should believe it or not, but my tendency go more in direction that it is true.

I am just a bit disappointed that there is no Skull Kid but I still have a rest hope he is also in the banner or he is DLC

Diese Abstimmung ist keine Abstimmung, wenn Sie das Leck glauben oder nicht.
Glaubst du, dass auch Skull Kid im Banner gezeigt wird?

In this picture it looks that it is just the bike.

 

[Celir]

I really hope we get Skull Kid, we never got a new character since Melee. Toon Link is the same as Young Link for me. We have ganon/zelda/sheik and 3 links, sorry but that’s bull****. Zelda is one of the most important Nintendo franchise, they realy need to add at least one new character.

 

[ThomasMagmar]

I have made me some work.

I think this fits pretty good.

I don't know exactly what is the part (which should be Skull Kids eyes) I think it could be something like that https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net...rago-v2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070912095327

Nice. I'm not sure how her bike is exactly but those "white eyes" couldn't be the bike's flares? like it's facing forward

 

[ThomasMagmar]

I don't think so:
- The bike's flare would be to near to the Mach Riders Leg.
- the Position of his body don't looks like that. If this would be the front He have to turn bis body more in the front. But you can see his helmet, shoulders etc also from the side.

Hi guys I've been lurking here a little while, I believe the leak is real, there are too many aspects to the leak that make it too complicated to be fake.

I have hoped for Skull Kid's inclusion for a while, but it seems he wont be in the base roster at least, still I cant complain, the roster is stunning.

Don't give up hope on DLC guys, and what other characters are you excited about with this leak seemingly true? Mach Rider and Banjo Kazooie seem to be really interesting additions to me

 

[_sneaK]

I'm part of the "fake until proven real" gang, but even I have to admit it looks convincing. However I do think with these characters out of the way, SK holds a firm chance for DLC, all we need to do is show steady support.

 

[Demonfunds]

Im pretty hyped for Geno if this is true, I'm also hyped for the others as they're characters I don't mind being in, the only ones I'm really disappointed in would be the echos, I at least wanted a Impa or Hilda echo.

 

[AnOkayDM]

Guys. Skull Kid isn't in that image. You can strain your eyes searching all day, and that Majora's Mask you're seeing will still be Mach Rider's bike.

Evidence keeps piling up in favor of this leak, and considering the circumstances around it, it seems just about impossible to fake. Plus we have papagenos further corroborating it from a source he trusts.

I'll say it again. It is most likely true. The sooner you accept that Skull Kid is probably not on the base roster, the less upset you will be. He was always a long shot anyway, and even if he's not here, the amount of miracles Sakurai has worked to get this roster where it is cannot be understated. This is already a momentous roster. We can be disappointed that he's not here, but we don't want to be the supporters that do nothing but complain about his exclusion while ignoring all of Sakurai's incredibly tough and dedicated work. It's not a good look.

Hold out hope for DLC, but don't expect him in the base game. It'll go better for you.

Honestly, I'm leaning more and more into team fake. The supposed involved company has denied (and actually seem offended by it) that they're involved with leaks, and the guy hasn't even worked there since 2016. And the place he's at now has very limited connection to both movies and games.


Which means we still have a shot!

You can disbelieve it all you want, but you need to start accepting the possibility that it's real. I've been saying this for months now. You are one of the people I'm most worried about if he doesn't make it. I've been trying to get everyone to lower their expectations, and that goes most of all for you. I know how badly you want him, and hell, I'm right there with you, but you have to be ready for the possibility that he's just not there.

Even if this leak is fake, it still doesn't guarantee Skull Kid a slot. There has always been, and will always be, a chance that he just doesn't show up. No matter how good it may look from your perspective, believing a hundred percent that he's in will do nothing but crush you if he's not, and nobody wants that.

If he doesn't make it, then I'll simply continue to support him for DLC. I hope everyone here will.


Also something new just arised suggesting the leak is fake

Huh, perhaps they took it out to avoid spoilers, I mean would they really make it that easy to see?

 

[Mehdow]

How do we know it's the 1.0.0 version? I mean, it could just be a demo with a few characters unlocked but not the new ones...?

EDIT: it even says "Event Version" , maybe it's not the release one.

If you look in the top right corner, it might say "1.0.0," but it's really blurry and hard to see.

I dunno, I don't think this necessarily proves anything. They could easily have removed Microsoft/RARE from this screen for this video.

 

[Mehdow]

Yeah.... putting Microsoft or Rare there would be a MASSIVE spoiler/confirmation of the leak, I'm sure they don't want that. I would make a entire "fake 1.0.0" version without them (or without a way to show them in game) to just avoid the names in the copyright...

If the leak is real, I'm going to assume Nintendo just messed up by trusting that full banner image with the wrong person/people. I very much doubt they would show any trademarks for characters anywhere that haven't been officially revealed yet. I am on team real at the moment. Would be amazing to see this happen, but we also have to be ready for it to be fake. Buckle UP!!!

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

You guy's really shouldn't worry about Skull Kid. He would be in the forefront for DLC if Banjo, Isaac AND Geno were all out of the way. You'd really only be competing with Bandanna Dee and some newer Releases like Spring Man or Rex and Pyra.

 

[0007]

I have no idea why people want this leak to be fake like it would improve Skull Kid's chances. The most credible alternative to this leak is Vergeben and Box theory, which is essentially Ken and Incineroar and that's it. If that's true, Skull Kid would have to compete for a DLC slot with Geno and Banjo as well as Springman, Rex&Pyra etc... that's a much tougher path to getting in.

 

[PhantomShab]

Toad is a generic species, though... the specific character Captain Toad didn't exist until after Smash 4 was released.

Captain Toad has been around since the first Mario Galaxy in 2007.

 

[Louisacommie]

Hey I decided to start a dlc campaign for zelda newcomers in general early before the game comes out to beat evreyone to the curb

https://mobile.twitter.com/ZeldaNew

Skull kids popularity may be noticed

 

[ZealousGamer]

My question is; has Vergeben said anything about this? Could this mean he is wrong?

FYI: I don't believe Vergeben, "Box Theory", "Banner Leak", "Music Theory", or any of the other "leaks". I do hope that Geno, Isaac, Banjo & Kazooie, Skull Kid, etc. get in the game though.

 

[JoyStar]

How did I not get alerts this topic was updating? Oh well. XD

Also hey, as you guys likely know, tomorrow's the US anniversary of Majora's Mask. So I'm finishing up a Skull Kid tribute video tomorrow for it. I would have wanted to include Skull Kid reveal trailer footage but whether he's in or not (I saw some speculate he might be in that picture next to Mach Rider if the image is real) that's not going to happen in a few hours so.... here are the clips I have so far that are used in it:

-"Terrible Fate" short film by EmberLabs
-Majora's Aria (from the opera "Majora")
-Clock Town Choir (from the opera "Majora")
-Majora's Mask 3D Fan-Made Trailer
-Majora's Mask 3D Cinematic
-Hyrule Warriors Skull Kid Entrance

Too bad there's no SK reveal trailer whether he's in or not, but yeah. Any other possible ones to use I might have missed?

I posted the preview a while back in this thread, though the full version's going to my other channel.

 

[AnOkayDM]

Everyone repeat after me:

"It's Mach Rider's bike, not Majora's Mask."

Unless you think Mach Rider is straddling Majora's Mask with no Skull Kid attached.

I'm sorry bro, It's honestly too blurry to dismiss the possibility,

 

[0007]

Majora's Mach.

 

[AnOkayDM]

Majora's Mach.

I think we can all get behind that.

Mask Rider? Is that anything?

If that's not a thing yet, someone make it! Now I really want to see Skull Kid on a Mach Bike with Majora's Mask on it. XD

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Skull kid is definitely the most popular tweet so far

 

[cybersai]

gamefaqs thinks it's Skull Kid:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77130093

Someone even found what looks to be Tael, the purple fairy right next to him:

https://imgur.com/a/K2VNBCJ

I don't see how you guys don't see Majora's Mask there.

There's a heart shape there, the two eyes are right space apart, you can see the spikes coming out of the mask, and Skull Kid looks like he's sitting similar to Robin which is why you don't notice Skull Kid's body as much

I'd personally love it; but It's too blurry for me to feel strongly one way or another lol

And Vaati hasn't even been tweeted yet. Go freaking figure.

 

[AnOkayDM]

I think seeing Skull Kid there is wishful thinking. You can see something poking out from behind Mach Rider, and their pose looks to me like they're straddling something. The most logical explanation is it's their bike. The purple thing might be their foot, or Roy's.

The text version of this leak from September also doesn't mention Skull Kid.

I do see it, but that's because I want to. I'm not letting myself get my hopes up.

For sake of discussion; perhaps Skull Kid is this "mysterious missing fighter" some people are buzzing about.

Maybe, maybe. But then what happened to Incineroar...?

 

[cybersai]

You can see the heart shape of the mask where it gets narrow on the bottom.

You see the two big eyes the right space apart

You can see the spikes coming out of the mask on both the top and bottom.

Now look to the right of him after where someone drew the black circle line, you can see what looks to be a purple fairy with wings (Tael)

Skull Kid looks like he's sitting staring at Tael
