Incineroar wouldn't necessarily break the leaks. Verg claimed it was Gen 7 and assumed it would be Incineroar. However, if it were one of the pokemon he claimed it wasn't, or if it isn't a Gen 7, then things would fall into chaos
That's....Not Loz. This is also a response topapagenos because I've been seeing it a lot and have been trying to avoid talking about it. Loz is on a private discord server on a different name. He doesn't leak info right now. He responded to someone today about this silly leak. Its not him.
And please don't pm me for the link. I can provide screenshots of people want, but I'm not making the discord public.
Because if there was a place to talk about leaks what the hell would we talk about in here!?!?!?!?!?one?
Yeah that's something that always rubs the wrong way with leaks and to me lets me know when they're fake immediately. When they're taking pictures of the pre-battle screen and renders in cs then why not just take a video or a picture in-game? Or a wider picture that isn't so blurry? It surprises me how often people fall for these things
Didn't Rabbids derive from the Rayman series?That sounds more like the Rabbids have a better shot than Rayman.
Also, is that a monkey with a green bowtie smoking a blunt?
I do wonder if we're gonna get something like that this time. It seems impossible with how closed down Nintendo is with this game, but anything's possible when one considers the ESRB leak happened, I guess. If it were to happen, what time frame do you think it'll happen in? I personally would say somewhere in-between late October to early November.
But Gematsu was always credible. The only thing it got wrong as far as I know were the Chorus Kids and that was only because, as we can tell from smash 4 datamines, they quite clearly got cut during development. Leakers aren't omnipotent, but Gematsu got everything right and the fact that the one it got "wrong" was planned anyway made me See It As Reliable.
The ESRB already rated the game. No leak happened.
We want our favorite characters to get in Smash. Of course we want more until we are completely satisfied (in my case, give me Meowth and Toad and I will never ask Sakurai for anything ever again).
ultlucina:
He also got Chrom wrong, but from what I understand that was a similar "got cut" situation
Oh, I wasn't talking about ESRB, I just meant a legit picture/video leak.
I guess.Didn't Rabbids derive from the Rayman series?
I dont think it's too crazy to imagine getting a Rayman char and Rabbids assist trophy.
He's actually smoking a banana.
Not gonna happen.
Of course it's likely he can still do that, but closer to another Direct. So far the only thing he's told people is that he has knowledge of 2 other characters on the level of K. Rool (the nature of how he was revealed; aka, likely trailers for them). Interestingly enough, the only 2 characters Loz has ever talked about where Skull Kid and Isaac.
Nah, the leak lost credibility because it said chrom would be absolutely playable, and said shulk was 100% going to be revealed one day, when it was robin, then the leaker stopped responding
As I said before, Decidueye and Incineroar would be the only two picked between the Starter set because their concepts would interest players (much like how Greninja being a ninja-based fighter did) and their designs can easily be adapted into Smash. Primarina has the issue of being of a rather unfeasible design to work in Smash's setting. As for the concept....an archer and a wrestler are going to be much more enticing of fighting concepts than an idol/siren. If neither the archer or the wrestler are picked, the other options outside the starter set are much more believable.
The Rabbids series has since completely split off from Rayman, to the point of having a completely different setting (Rabbids games started taking place in what is basically Earth, unlike Rayman’s games.) It’s more comparable to how Warioware barely relates to main series Mario, in that the main character(s) are from another series but pretty much everything else is different such as the setting and the supporting cast.
Thanks for the effort, it looks really cool. And gee, we could really use a few newer characters. (don't @ me)We want our favorite characters to get in Smash. Of course we want more until we are completely satisfied (in my case, give me Meowth and Toad and I will never ask Sakurai for anything ever again).
But still... it’s incredible how we have 70+ characters in Ultimate... from 1980 to 2015, maybe even to 2018... almost 40 years of video game history with a concentration of Nintendo history.

I'd argue there's an even manlier gen 7 Pokemon Sakurai could choose..........
Honestly, Rabbids feel more like assist trophy material to me.
I think it'd be pretty crazy if Sakurai looked at the Rabids and Rayman, then sorted the mascot face/namesake of the franchise with a defined personality into the AT role and the dime a dozen little gremlins who don't really have unique characterizations within their ranks, they're all just little ****s, into the character pick.... that'd be surprising at least considering what he's selected in the past.
While this is true and I feel like Wario has split off from Mario's Universe much earlier by starring in the Wario Land games, I feel like Rayman would ultimately be chosen over Rabbids. It was his trophy that and in Smash Wii U after all.
I still don't think the "Primarina's design isn't feasible" when that is easily worked around or may even be THE reason to pick him but I see wh Incineroar is considered so likelyAs I said before, Decidueye and Incineroar would be the only two picked between the Starter set because their concepts would interest players (much like how Greninja being a ninja-based fighter did) and their designs can easily be adapted into Smash. Primarina has the issue of being of a rather unfeasible design to work in Smash's setting. As for the concept....an archer and a wrestler are going to be much more enticing of fighting concepts than an idol/siren. If neither the archer or the wrestler are picked, the other options outside the starter set are much more believable.
If Primarina had a more workable design and interesting concept, I'd be seeing it as a legitimate possibility. I have no "problem" with Primarina specifically (even if I like Brionne more because it's basically Astolfo as a Pokémon; don't tell me you can't see it too :V). Just that there are too many inherent issues with it that make predicting it over all other options unreasonable.
As for what Incineroar has over the other options, I'm going to try to keep it as brief as possible.
When the initial proposal for Ultimate's design (which is usually when the characters are decided upon), this was before Sun and Moon were even announced to the public.
So Sakurai would have to do what he did with Greninja and look at the various concept arts to see which Pokémon would "fit" the most in his head.
Just of the Starters alone, Incineroar shows the most potential from the concept art by itself. Other Pokémon could have interesting enough concepts that he could have seen earlier than us, but there's a lot Sakurai could think of with Incineroar's concept of a heel wrestler tiger, especially with Tiger Mask being as big as he is in Japan to the point he's been defictionalized and portrayed by several different people in Japanese wrestling history.
And bear in mind who else is working on Smash Ultimate. Namco-Bandai. Surely they could help inspire a brutal wrestler style not yet seen in Smash with cues from one or two of their own characters?
The concept art also implies something rather interesting. Incineroar would be present in anime among the main cast. Particularly with Ash.
And so far, Ash has a Torracat that has a fierce yet friendly rivalry with another Incineroar, with strong implications that it will be resolved with an Incineroar vs. Incineroar match.
So what does it mean for back then? That Incineroar was pretty much said to have future prominence, something Sakurai considers.
Also of note that the following year, for the 20th anniversary movie no less, Incineroar was featured as the antagonist's main Pokémon, and one of only three Gen 7 Pokémon to be featured in the entire film (outside of brief cameos in the credits). So it shows that Incineroar is being pushed considerably.
None of the remaining options have this sort of claim.
Does this mean Incineroar is a lock? No. But it has the most going for it among the options.
Brionne plushie that kisses you goodnight and validates your sexuality.
I think someone nabbed it from an employee, not an employee him/herself
Come on man, we already have Bayonetta, Sonic, Knuckles and possibly Shadow.
Yeah, that's a good point. Review copies probably won't even be received by major news sites until a week or two before release, and I imagine the full roster will be shown off way before then.
Iirc, the leak was only being shared with a certain group of friends but one of them leaked the entire thing(though Ninka had leaked that stuff in text form before that)
