What a sad day in smash,I don't think with the very small amount of time between now and when the leak happened this guy would have time to recreate the leak himself and then edit a video explaining how he did it so this is looking debunked.

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

so the video is taken down,did anybody record it while it existed?

Yeah, they did. It's in these comments somewhere.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

confirmed fakes dudes...

 

[Dastardly Ridleylash]

I'll give the guy credit; he got a huge amount of people so hyped about this that he almost made me think it was legit.

But yeah, case closed; it's faked.

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

What if, in an update, Mewtwos and Raymans slots get added into the CSS, regardless if you bought the DLC or not. Players who didn't buy the DLC simply can't select them, hear the 'nope'-sound when trying to and then see a menu, linking to the shop.

*selects mewtwo* Nope.avi

 

[Shirma Akayaku]

Well I'm satisfied that this is a fake, a really good one too.

 

[Cahalan]

did it for the calculations, its a full box

And there's still room for FOUR MORE SLOTS!

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

Well feck, it fooled me. Wouldn't it be cool if this fake leak made Nintendo and Ubisoft actually consider this?

 

[Dastardly Ridleylash]

I suppose that someone should edit the title to indicate that it's a fake, then.

But I'm glad that he wasn't in; we already have enough Third-Parties as is, so adding more as DLC already seemed too out there for even Sakurai's baiting skills to do.

 

[Zee'mmoro]

As much as I was hyped up for this, I gotta give the guy credit: his video of how he made that leak was incredible. Now I suppose I have the love/hate feelings of: "Dude, awesome work. But also grr." Tip my hat to him. ^^

 

[JaggedToaster]

Not sure how I feel about this. Never really cared for Rayman. Meh

 

[solitonmedic]

Am I the only one that thinks that Mewtwo on the select screen looks 100% fake and custom made?

Yes, and no.
It's actually a screenshot of his in-game trophy.

 

[gamer8]

Glad I missed this one, looks like it got pretty hectic. It may have been a **** move by the guy, but at least he shut it down before things got too out of hand. He could have left it like that and had people getting their hopes up and speculating DLC for as long as they'd believe in it. Anyways, the video is pretty interesting. That guy has some serious talent.

In one of Sakurai's interviews he kind of seemed like he wanted to move on from Smash as soon as he released Mewtwo + the balance patch to go with it and Miiverse, so I'm not surprised. But anyways, be glad it was over as soon as it ended.

 

[Pikmin1211]

rip in kill rayman, you ugly floating weasel creature.

 

[Xenado]

i can`t imagine how angry sakurai is right now.Having your hard work not ONCE but TWICE!!!!

 

[MarkT]

I'm not upset that the Rayman leak is fake. I'm annoyed that this is fuel for every skeptic and conspiracy person out there. Next, we'll get actual footage of a new character fighting in-game and people will point to this leak and say "Oh yea!? Well its obviously fake because anyone can manipulate the footage in aftereffects." My favorite rebuttal has always been, why would anyone waste their time to do that? Sigh...

Overall, it's just a lot of wasted time on the fakers part and doing this for lulz gets an eye roll from most people, at best...

 

[Dastardly Ridleylash]

i can`t imagine how angry sakurai is right now.Having your hard work not ONCE but TWICE!!!!

It's fake, dude; it was just a really skilled fake. The only DLC character we know of right now is Mewtwo. Rayman's not confirmed, and this leak is faked. Sakurai's work isn't ruined this time because this ain't his work.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I'll kill him. I'll kill that guy.



It'd be nice if when Ubisoft talks about it Tuesday they actually confirmed it.

 

[Cahalan]

confirmed fakes dudes...

Well there goes that idea, BUT rayman is still a possible and valid DLC character along with
Mewtwo (Already confirmed)
Ice climbers (NEW 3DS people!)
Snake
Wolf
Lucas

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So I heard there are death threats being thrown around now

 

[DrizzyDrew]

So I heard there are death threats being thrown around now

that is ridiculous...its a video game at the end of the day..

 

[Xenado]

It's fake, dude; it was just a really skilled fake. The only DLC character we know of right now is Mewtwo. Rayman's not confirmed, and this leak is faked. Sakurai's work isn't ruined this time because this ain't his work.

proof?

 

[Kingkool]

A lot of people seem to be praising the leaker for his craftsmanship and while I will admit that the leak was incredibly well made and the most convincing thing since the ESRB leak I don't think we should be rewarding or complimenting this guy. Instead of letting his work speak for itself (which it obviously could have given the quality) he trampled on as many peoples hopes as he could on his way to a few hundred subscribers on Youtube. And in the video he sits there with a big ugly grin on his face like he loved every second of his own communities false excitement, That's not the type of person we should be praising for anything.

 

[Niala]

proof?

The video is literally posted twice on this page already. But in case you really need it again:

confirmed fakes dudes...

 

[domriver]

So this guy wasted all this time just to do a fake? hmm..

 

[Xermo]

It was almost like people collectively forgot digital editing software and professional artists exist.
Either way, ggs. I won.

 

[Creativion]

YOU'RE DONE SON IT'S FAKE

How I feel about this being fake

 

[Achroma]

There is so much salt in the community right now it makes the Dead Sea look like a salt shaker.

 

[TuxedoCreep]

A lot of people seem to be praising the leaker for his craftsmanship and while I will admit that the leak was incredibly well made and the most convincing thing since the ESRB leak I don't think we should be rewarding or complimenting this guy.

But the fact that he fooled an entire community into believing that this character was real was actually pretty awesome.

 

[Xenado]

The video is literally posted twice on this page already. But in case you really need it again:

crap...

 

[MapleWooD]

Was just confirmed Fake by the leaker

 

[Kingkool]

But the fact that he fooled an entire community into believing that this character was real was actually pretty awesome.

Impressive? absolutely. Awesome? I don't think so, he used our community as a publicity stunt to up his views when theres a thousand more honest ways to do it

 

[TuxedoCreep]

Impressive? absolutely. Awesome? I don't think so, he used our community as a publicity stunt to up his views when theres a thousand more honest ways to do it

That's true. Just posting the Rayman art and the screens he made probably would've earned him a better rep and more fans if he didn't go through the whole "leak" business.

 

[Elezir]

Yeah, that was a jerk move of sorts from his part, but honestly, it was that: an unproved leak, a rumor
I'm not going to blame the people who were excited for this, It's alright to become excited, but they should've known that this could be a possible outcome. There are people out there who will make pretty damn good leaks just to see the fandom reaction.
He actually did good showing it was fake so quickly, after all, he could've just let it become bigger and bigger to read all the flamewars it could've caused (actually, I think there was a flamewar already forming here between the people who believed and the ones who didn't).
You can't give this kind of thing too much credit unless it's confirmed by Nintendo itself, as cool and real it may look. Never get your hopes too high for this kind of thing, the internet is full of false stuff and people who can do them like masters.
It's was a possibility, but that's it, not a shoo in.

 

[Guppy]

I'm not even mad. What he did was pure genius! My disappointment in Rayman not being real quickly turned into me laughing at how gullible I (and many people) were.

I insta subbed to the guy )

 

[Creativion]

 

[Melonfrog]

Well, a short but interesting journey. But I am walking away from this feeling sick, ashamed of my gullibility and upset. Rayman was my childhood, how can I not be?

 

[Banjodorf]

The guy deserves the salt he gets from the community, because I find stuff like this unacceptable. There's plenty of other ways to prove your talent in more respectable ways, rather than playing with people's hopes.

I'll bet there were plenty of Rayman fans who were pretty excited.

 

[Bob da Bob]

Ubisoft said they would announce something on tuesday concerning the rayman leak, but now that it was confirmed fake what are they going to announce?
