Nice, someone else who find the MandyCan twitter suspicious. I was wondering why it's only after Byleth's reveal that I hear about this guy. After all, if they supposedly predicted MK11 at TGA and No Smash at TGA, then surely someone would have brought up MandyCan between TGA and Byleth's reveal.
I mean, Sakurai himself stated they were being especially secretive about Byleth to the point where not many people at Nintendo even knew about them, but go off, I guess.
Yeah, Vergeben said that for about a day before he clarified that there was a misunderstanding with his source. Not really worth going "Oh my god he's completely unreliable! Never listen to him!!!!" over.
I think Crash will be challenger pack 6, and since Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a challenger pack, I think we can get a challenger pack from Pokemon Sword & Pokemon Shield and the Pokemon character would be Cinderace
Overall mobility isn't directly tied to only run speed/weight. Ganon is among the slowest in air acceleration/air speed/walk speed, has a linear/bad recovery and most of their moves feel sluggish even compared to Incineroar. Plus they've always just "felt" slow, given how TP Ganon stained our minds forever.
That's putting words in someone's mouth if I ever saw it. I literally said "A healthy dose of skepticism". It's the right path to take. They literally get things wrong frequently enough as they've gotten things right frequently.
That was the final straw for me. Zippo clarified immediately that it was pure speculation and people are so quick to take his words out of context and Sabi was like "guys look I'm backing Zippo! You trust me, right??? Your old pal Sabi!".
They mean competitively speaking and they're right. The development team butchered Bayonetta in this game and made her super weak compared to before. I know she was broken in Smash 4 but they went a bit overboard with the nerfs.
Agreed.

mentioned as well. A few more revisions could have more accurately summed up the characters. At the same time, I'm glad they're not overly gimmicky and is a return to form to what the Smash characters were like in the 64 days, how I envisioned them being in. Either direction they picked, they were going to be not perfect for someone, and in my case, both have their drawbacks. I think it's important to be grateful for what we have, but open enough to speculate on how things could have improved. They're still perfect to me despite their imperfections.Yeah, I haven't paid attention to the rumor mill as much now that I'm content going into reveals as surprises, but it reminds me so much of Loz--was surprisingly accurate at first, and then looked like they were just taking shots in the dark. My guess is that in addition to the many reasons why they shouldn't have gone on that E3 list of everything that was going to happen, their sources became weary of actually sharing information. It's one thing to hint and have plausible deniability, it's another thing to bullet point everything that's going to happen, getting too much attention and potentially narrowing down sources.
The best part is still the whole "my friend Zippo" / "Sabi's an acquaintance I guess?" thing.
Yes for a few reasons.
Like 4 of these aren't even from fighting games.
Why did you start listening to leakers? Was it because you wanted to know reliable info ahead of time or did you just want to brag about internet strangers being right?
Except he gives real info.
Is this a real question
Are you not counting Vergeben with this?
I feel you. One of my most wanted pipe dream characters was Duck Hunt Dog (feel free to judge) and when they actually got in, I was overjoyed until I realized that their wonky playstyle wasn't my bag AT ALL.
Well I’m still waiting for Katalina. Don’t worry she’s coming.
Ever seen people livewatching with others through threads? We've had some of those in the past, such as the recent Game Awards. Not saying that anyone in their right minds would interrupt their watching to see what a leaker says, but we have more than enough evidence in the posts to know many ran into them.
Counting or discounting the debatable/"clearly a lucky guess" ones? People usually only remember what's convenient/easy to dismiss as such.
I can't judge you too hard since Duck Hunt was the retro rep that I was rooting for back in the Smash 4 days.

Me and Hero, man. Me and Hero...
andwere close seconds.
I can agree to all of that, minus Paper Mario being an Echo. He has more than enough source material to pull from to make a unique and interesting moveset completely separate from OG Mario. The only thing they’d have in common Smash wise is sharing the name Mario.
IAmShifty was right about Piranha Plant and Incineroar (at that point, Verge was talking about a 'Gen 7 Pokemon'). He also leaked that Dracula, Rathalos and Marx would appear as bosses. So he's a bit more low profile, not a lot of predictions but they all turned out to be true (at least for the base game).
Wasn’t there another insider who claimed Hayabusa wouldn’t come in 2019? It would also line up with the “Byleth and Hayabusa switched places” rumor
The most specific leak that ever turned out to be true was NyaseNya during the Brawl days, on this very site in fact. The dude straight up leaked Sonic’s reveal date, as well as the fact that the game was getting delayed. He even knew that the game was going to be on a dual layer disc, so whichever sources he had must have been really damn close to development.
There was never a "Byleth and Hayabusa switched places" rumor. That, as of right now, is an unproven conspiracy theory that really makes little sense if you take any metric about game development and project plans into account.
