Basically, Ganondorf has access to an unlimited supply of power and can only be damaged by specific holy weaponry. Also, depending on your interpretation of events, he reincarnates after each and every defeat, so it's only ever a matter of time until Ganondorf is victorious.
Yes, and my original draft accounted for that. However, I'm sure that some people are sticklers for identical mechanics, so I wanted to mention that possibility in my post.
Dying repeatedly is not a sound battle strategy. Just ask Diavolo.
Eh, as long as the cycle doesn't repeat ad infinitum you'll be fine. But that's assuming that you can kill Ganon in the first place

Doctor Strange made it work.
Oh my god, I'd love it if this one was real.
I like how the first guy admitted to reading speculation threads.View attachment 152609
It's the leak signal! You know what that means...
That's right, I'm back with another set for ya'll. Spoilers: there's bonus leak this time.
Since the leak is being accepted as fake, no one is worried about it here. I figured it was safe to reveal their identities.
You guys got a lot of these right, I'm impressed.
King is King K Rool. Ponytail is Dixie Kong. Dixie Kong is an echo character. You can expect their official announcement 7/15.
Old man is Mishima. Harada is the one who posited the idea to Sakurai.
Archer is Decidueye. Most speculation I saw agreed on this.
Warrior & Secretary refer to Charlie and Brittany from Pikmin 3. Charlie uses Rock Pikmin.
Mech is Kirby in his suit from Planet Robobot. He will be shown as a Dream Friend in Star Allies and then shown in Smash. The announcement is VERY strange.
The last characters are all from games that will soon release on the Switch. The first two games have been announced.
Rhythm is Neku from The World Ends With You. Folklore is Amaterasu from Okami HD.
Doll is Geno from Mario RPG.
This game will not be a remake, but a spiritual successor of sorts. Similar to the way a Link Between Worlds and A Link to the Past are related.
Prime Rib is Ninten from Mother.
Retro Studios is working on this title, actually. Check out their twitter.
Related to this widely reported 4chan "leak". Weird roster, but Neku in Smash Bros? That's my new main right there.>[3DS Headlines]

In line with what you'd expect for a Nintendo Direct leak. A believable enough fall and beyond lineup for Nintendo. Overall, it's safe. It's got a kill switch, so we'll see with this one.So I got the Smash Leaks for ya. I am an intern who works closely with Bill Trien, I'm helping with the translations. So here's the inside scoop for my fellow Anons
First off, Sakurai insisted on a new rule that no playable characters have a tint that makes them too closely resemble another playable character.
Fox, Ike, Samus, Mario, Diddy Kong, and Lucas have had tints replaced for this reason
Fox and Mario had their Wolf and Wario alts replaced with an all purple Fox and Builder Mario for this reason. Big whoop. Here's where it gets interesting.
Chrom, Dark Samus, Masked Man, and Dixie Kong will be joining the roster
Chrom and Dark Samus are straight echos
Masked Man and Dixie are something to be revealed called a "Frankenstein", of which Masked Man will be the poster child of. Basically it's two characters mashed together
Dixie Kong is a Frankenstein of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, her Up-B and Down B are Donkey Kong's, but her Side-B and B are Diddy Kong's, with many of her A animations split between the two (though it more closely resembles Diddy Kong)
Masked Man is a Frankenstein of Toon Link (for A moves), Lucas (for B moves), though he has PK Flash instead of PK Freeze. He has "Helmetless" as an Alt, which is why Lucas lost his Claus skin, but kept his Masked Man inspired skin.
There are VERY FEW characters with unique movesets, but the Echos and Frankensteins make up for them. Few surprises here, with most of the uniques being from the poll.
Some of the DLC is half-done and there are extensive plans from upper management to make Smash last "Longer than the switch itself if possible"
Most of the early DLC will be new third parties for whom negotiation did not finish in time. You got K.Rool for this reason, so be happy.
DLC Wave 1 will include
Waluigi (Requested by Reggie, Mario and Luigi will lose their Waluigi alts in a patch)
Simon Belmont
Banjo Kazooie
Shantae
Stages
Isle Delfino
Diddy Kong Racing (a reskinned Isle Delfino)
Paper Jam (a sequel to the Paper Mario stage, has Mario and Luigi Content)
Poke Floats
Fountain Of Dreams
Uniques
Inkling
Ridley
Geno
Sceptile (did well on the poll)
Mimikyu
Isaac
King K.Rool
Waddle Dee
Ashley
Foreman Spike
Echos
Ninten (In memory of Iwata, who worked on Mother 1)
Chrom
Dark Samus
Isabelle (Digby as an alt)
Captain Toad (Heavier Waddle Dee)
Black Shadow (Melee Ganondorf)
9-Volt (Game and Watch)
Frankensteins
Tiki (Of Corrin and Zelda)
Masked Man
Leon (Wolf and Falco)
Dixie Kong
Baby Mario Bros. (Mario and Ice Climbers)
Donkey Kong Jr. (Donkey Kong and Game And Watch) (Doesn't count as a DKC rep)
Marx (Of Ashley and Meta Knight)
Mach Rider (Captain Falcon and Snake, made the Konami guys a little uncomfortable, which is the only reason he isn't a Snake echo)
Assist Trophies (not all, but some)
Felix (Replaces Isaac)
Gulliver (replace Isabelle)
Red (Replaces Ashley)
Birdo
Eggplant Wizard
Krunch
Paper Mario (His hammer splashes the stage with Color, similar to Inkling's Ink)
Team Dark (Shadow's AT got updated)
Arle (Sega got a lot of ATs)
Adeleine
Palutena's Guidance, Snake's Codec, Cranky's Rants, and Squid Sisters Broadcast are all in and serve the same purpose
Those aren't all the stages btw, just had to make room for characters
Pokemon Tower (Mimikyu's Stage)
A weird one untranslated with the same logo as Hanafuda Master, where you have to stay on cards
A Mario Party board
Death Mountain
Gangplank Galleon
Sarasaland - Mario's Castle
Electroplankton
Mt. Itoi (Gyiyg as a stage boss, translation team hasn't renamed him yet.) (Porky Means Business is a track here)
Gaia Falls
Clu Clu Land
Donkey Kong 3
Further ATs
Duster
Teddy
Boshi
Sakurai only counts the uniques as newcomers
Interesting in that it specifies Echoes and "Frankensteins" and includes development reasonings that the "leaker" could reasonably have insight into. The cover of an intern working under Bill Trinen makes me skeptical, but I'd watch out for any "Frankenstein" characters in the future.You heard it here first. The remaining newcomers in Smash Ultimate will be:
Paper Mario (Paper Mario)
Ashley (WarioWare)
Dixie Kong [Diddy Kong Echo Fighter] (Donkey Kong Country 2)
Dark Samus [Samus Echo Fighter] (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)
Isabelle [Villager Echo Fighter] (Animal Crossing)
Shadow The Hedgehog [Sonic Echo Fighter] (Sonic Adventure 2)
Heihachi (Tekken)
Amaterasu (Okami)
Geno (Super Mario RPG)
Feel free to screenshot. See you in December~!
I have some leaks regarding Smash Ultimate. Heihachi and Isabella will be playable. Dark Samus will be an echo fighter for dlc. Goku will be announced in a surpeise reveal at the Jump Victory Carnival. There are no plans for Waluigi
In case you didn't know, the Jump Victory Carnival is in 5 days, or 11 for the Osaka event (I think the Smash/Mario Aces event is taking place at the Jump Victory Carnival, hence why there are two events), which means we'll know if this one's true very soon. I unironically want Goku in Smash Bros, so I'm in favor of this oneOh **** that's right, we've got a bonus leak everyone
Here are the characters that will be in the game:
JULY(Nintendo Direct):
-King K Rool
-Simon Belmont
AUGUST(Smash Ultimate Website):
-Dixie Kong
SEPTEMBER(Surprise Announcement):
-Shovel Knight
OCTOBER(Mini Direct):
-Bandana Waddle Dee
-Decidueye
NOVEMBER(Smash Ultimate Direct):
-Rayman
-Chibi-Robo
DECEMBER(Post-Game Release Trailers):
-Geno
-Spring Man
DLCs:
-Waluigi
-Crash Bandicoot
-Banjo-Kazooie
-Paper Mario
-Phoenix Wright
-Chorus Kids
Safe, but we'll know if this one is true or not soon. Shovel Knight over other indie picks like Shantae or even Reimu would be kind of disappointing though.THAT'S RIGHT, WE HAVE A BONUS BONUS "LEAK." IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY[
This leak comes in the form of images, so take a look:

Shadow
Amaterasu
Isabelle

Solid roster if you ask me.
/SPOILER]
Also, if we're still talking about which character we think is likely to be the next revealed, my money is on K. Rool, Simon Belmont, and Ashley in that order.
"That leak" can mean a lot of things. He's likely mentioning "Leak" 1 in this set if anything.
Worked for Goku and Doomsday.
Three words: Okami Switch port.
To be fair, Lynne made it through okay with Sissel's help (though it's an investigation method in this case, the same principle applies here).
Yeah well, Sissel also had TIME TRAVEL.
I'm not expecting a reveal from any convention or tournament. If we get a newcomer revealed in the near future, chances are, it'll be during a Direct or a special presentation Nintendo told us about in advance.
Not really, the most likely we'll ever get a reveal trailer this month is either in one of those two Jump Victory Carnival 2018 tournaments or a surprise Nintendo Direct Mini.
I'd honestly be shocked if that were the case... I honestly thought it was just a CEO thing
I think Sakurai will only make a character an echo if he has no plans of ever having them unique characters in the future.
Which is why I'm against Impa and Dixie being Echoes. If either get into Ultimate as an Echo Fighter, they'll likely be stuck that way permanently, and neither deserve that.
Isabella, Galactica Knight, Magalor and Issac are my most wanted characters.
I agree with Dixie. She makes no sense as an echo whatsoever. But as a huge Impa fan I think she could work as an echo only because Impa is the one to train Sheik, so them fighting alike makes sense.
I remember there was a drawing on the Miiverse stage once with ROB holding a gun. And it said "This is a Robbery!". It was beautiful and I wish I could find it again
To be fair, one has the time stone, the other does not
In no particular order:
These are all of the past stage that have not been revealed (credits to ElemtrikDynomite on Reddit for this). Considering how not all of these may come back, which stages would you all like to see return (31 stages are here).
Obviously they're talking about the lovely Lady Valentine.
Note: Dad died on his way back home
Fountain of Dreams, Poke Floats, Brinstar Depths, Delfino plaza, Pirate Ship, Gamer, F-Zero and Pac-Maze would all be stages I'd love to see back.
