Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

Is this from the same person who leaked Ken? 'Cause in Germany, they're called Duck-Hunt Duo...
Good argument, although this is an earlier build and European localization in-game could be unfinished in that build.

I know the E3 demo was in English even in European countries where English isn't spoken.

At least we get to laugh at something obviously fake now. It's a nice break from scrutinizing every detail of the Ken screenshot.

WHAT??? WHERE THE SHOT
Someone leaked Ken on a stage in debug mode, which lines up with Verge-god's claims and the box theory, which also confirms Incineroar and Steve for Smash.
It's obviously from the new and final build of the game before release

That could go either way tbh; proof that font changes, and Pichu's portrait's mouth not being E3 build, could be an even earlier build.

....oh god damn this is interesting.

Even got the model clipping right. He looks a BIT painted to me, but...

Damn.

What's the consensus on this gang? And did this guy also just leak Steve?
So far the consensus is that it's real. People have been scrutinizing it all day, but just like with the ESRB leak of old, every point people have brought up to disprove it only makes it look more legitimate.

First off the consensus is that The Ken leak is Legit.
Second, I don't think the Steve Image is the same guy...

Nobody can really trash it. Doesn't mean it's 100% real but it's certainly more solid than anything else we've gotten thus far.

And no, people are reaching for "evidence" that says Steve is in. Vergeben stated he'd heard something about Steve but can't 100% confirm he's playable. The leaker who posted this has IIRC only posted this and that's all. Really all this image would prove is that Ken is in the game.

That Steve leak is definitely not from the same person as the Ken leak. If the Ken leak is fake, there's no way they'd make any glaring mistakes that can be seen without intense scrutiny later on. Like come on, there was no care put into that, compared to the immense care that would have been put into the Ken leak if it's fake.

Well, no shocker there. Ken. Yeah. Big whoop. He's cool. But we knew it.

...but also. If this is real...how the hell would this have gotten out? Out of all possible things?

If anything, I'd say the Steve "leak" is somebody hoping to piggyback off of the buzz generated from the Ken leak with little effort.

Steve is (almost) on par with Mario in terms of iconicity and relevance
Sorry to all the boomers but i think he might actually make it in
Using the word “boomer” on someone who isn’t old enough to be one...stop everything you just did
Damn...

People have ways to make sure Sakurai doesn’t get to surprise people...way too many ways

The consensus is most people tend to believe it. Smash has never been perfect with clipping, shadows and modeling, and this Ken model seems compliment all 3 imperfections.

Honestly, I'm seeing Banjo as DLC
If talks began between Nintendo and Microsoft early enough to put in a character, there's no reason to say Banjo would be DLC over the base roster. Their popularity in the polls were in 2015, which is when Spencer gave his personal approval (whether it was genuine or not), the same year the roster was being finalized, and the ballot was used in the case of King K Rool, at least. I can certainly see Minecraft getting a stage with a Creeper assist, in the same vain as Monster Hunter (if the single player stage we saw also had a multiplayer version), whereas Banjo & Kazooie make sense as a full fledged character in the base roster. We've seen many cases of characters who've been wanted since Melee getting in with Ridley and King K Rool. Geno and Banjo are the main ones left to round out the Ultimate roster.

All of Smash 4's roster was leaked about a month before the release of the 3DS version thanks to someone at the ESRB, and I'm pretty sure all of Brawl's roster was leaked as well. Stranger things have happened.

The Steve image is at least an internally consistent 6x12 grid. Which, I mean, anyone could get right.

It begs the question of "why not get the entire CSS?" though. Even though, by alignment, we know it's all existing characters + Ken, the image would have been far more useful broader.

Edit: Wait, know, it doesn't line up at all, what am I talking about. Hold on, lemme check removing Miis... No, that obviously makes it worse.

This "leak" only makes CSS alignment sense if you remove Ken, so it seems that along proves it is fake.

Oh wait a minute. Somewhere during negotiations, Sakurai would have to go then over to Disney of Japan for Sora.

I can't believe I forgot about that part. Yeah, good luck with that lmao
If Normura gives him the okay and they know that, there's not really much they can do other than watch over Sakurai's work.

The fact that, if this is real, means that someone potentially has the power to leak everything...


Ya'll called me stupid for wanting an October Direct.


But the sooner we get a Direct, the easier it is to combat leaks.... and look at what's happening now.



November is going to be a festering pit of leaks between both the NA and EU Special Edition box art and the Prima Guides, we 'need' that Direct next month, unless this guy blows his whole load now.
