Then why does the post mention a source?

Does the source have a source? How deep does the rabbit hole go?

Yes, because Sabi's Source is a Brand ambassador and not a direct Nintendo employee. They have a Source that told them Terry & FP5.

EDIT: Also, it is indeed a quote, likely with the poster's identity removed

Dunno if I missed the boat for top five most-wanted characters, but the main reason why I was working on Captain Syrup was to visualize my wishlist through 3D models.

It's really nice to see other Splatoon fans here, it's one of my all-time favorite series, and I enjoy being able to show my passion for it!

So my first Octoling idea is assuming they're Echoes of Inkling. One difference they could have would be the appearance of their weapons, which would be changed to match their redesigns from Splatoon 2. Such examples include Splattershot, Splat Roller and Slosher.

Splatoon design:


Splatoon 2 design:
Splatoon design:


Splatoon 2 design:
Splatoon design:


Splatoon 2 design:

In addition to those changes, Forward Smash could be changed from Inkbrush to Octobrush, dealing more damage in exchange for longer startup and/or endlag.

Another idea is that they're Down-B could be changed from Splat Bomb to Burst Bomb, which instead of lingering on the ground for a short while and then blowing up, the Burst Bomb would explode as soon as it makes contact with anything, including fighters. Burst Bomb would deal less damage than Splat Bomb, but cost less ink to use.


As for they're skins, I'll leave images for my ideas.

Skin 1:


Skin 2:


Skin 3:


Skin 4:


Skin 5: Middle
Skin 6: Octoling boy, left from the middle one


Skin 7:

This outfit but with an Octoling girl

Skin 8: Octoling boy, right from the middle one

Edit: Images are no longer broken.

Pretty sure that the ambassador is seperate from the main source who knows FP5.

How did insiders like Vergeben and Sabi even get their sources anyway? (And to an extent every other notable insider?)

That is what I’d like to know. Because I’d love to have a source of my own one day.

I hope Fighter #5 is a decent character, because all this skepticism and doubt on Verge/Sabi and the "my character still has a chance" talk makes it seem like we're building up to a major saltfest.

As someone who's kinda trusted Verg implicitly through all of Smash speculation.


Yeah, I'm kinda super sus over all this ****.


I never believed in Sabi to begin with, but now Verg is making me "Eh."


He could still be very much right in the end, but I find this whole situation bewildering.

What I want to know is if that lost of deconfirmed companies just means the IP that those companies made themselves or if it also includes smaller companies that they bought like with Square Enix and Taito?

It's weird, but I feel a bit disappointed with the reveal that all (or part of) the recent mass deconfirmations (which included characters I really want) might not be true after all. For the short while it lasted, it was kind of refreshing to have absolutely no idea who it could be even/especially with how much the list was narrowed.

Ultimate Saltfest Timeline: Verge/Sabi are wrong but the character is someone absolutely nobody ever wanted anyway.

Whoever FP5 is, I just hope the character is a she.

Just a little more...

And now apparently Sabi's pulling the:

"Achstually I knew who it was the whole time!"


Despite spinning lie after lie about how her source was adamant about not wanting to share/only a small handful knew?



Nah man.

**** stinks.

I guess the best way to figure out what all that is would be to ask the source. PolarPanda PolarPanda can you clear this up for us?

I'm going to suggest that nobody jumpes to any conclusions for now, as I think it's pretty clear there's going to be some developments up until Thursday, and we actually get the reveal.

There's a chance Verg is right, a chance none of the discons are right, but we can't know as things stand for now. All I know is, this place is going to burn to the ground if Challenger Pack 5 isn't at TGA.

The Discord picture is a quote and not something Sabi said himself. No different than you being quoted in this post.

At this rate, I'll just say **** every leaker in general and just wait. Every leaker cannot be trusted right now.

Aaaaaaaaaah!!! I love these ideas! It would be soooo gooood! :love:

One idea I like is to have their animations differ slightly to show off the octolings difference in personality from inklings. Octolings tend to be a little more sassy, so I'd love to see them show that off as well!

I’m not a big fan of the whole leaker culture. I’m happy they are willing to share information but I do feel like some of it is just to stoke their own ego/satisfaction of playing mind games with people/generating media buzz. I don’t think that’s the sole reason why they do what they do of course but I think it certainly has something to do with it and one reason why people try to copy/become insider leakers as well.

I’m also not a fan of whole-heartedly following every word these people say. Again, I am happy they share this info but it doesn’t define me or my interest in the game. I’m perfectly happy speculating about Smash without knowing who is leaked or who is deconfirmed. I get people really follow these individuals but, to me, leak talk is just a small part of Smash discussion. Or at least it should be.

Lastly, I don’t get why some people see these “deconfirmations” as a hard “no you’re not in Smash”. There is dlc coming after this so these aren’t hard deconfirmations. But I have seen people trolling fanbases with stupid whit like “haha Sabi deconfirmed x character their chances in Smash is over !!! Your a loser and your trash character is loser!”

that type of **** is stupid
