Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[nintenplayer]

Oh, well some people like to think that GOD WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST so they start reacting a little bit weird, and maybe even SO HELP ME IF YOU DO NOT STOP POSTING ABOUT LEAKS I'M GONNA which then results in kind of a domino effect and eventually it affects the I'M GONNA KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT TYLER and once the first three or four are infected, then it spreads to the whole group.

This is just a gross simplification.

 

[Billybae10K]

Just posted my video with thoughts on the new mural/banner leak! Personally, I'm team "It's Real" because I find a lot of the evidence for it to be more convincing than the evidence against it, at this time. Either way, doesn't bother me if it comes true or not come the next Direct, but it is a dream roster if it's true.

Kept the thumbnail spoiler-free of characters so nobody is accidentally spoiled of a newcomer like that as well, just using the base mural from E3 here.

 

[MainJPW]

Yeah, nah, I'm not throwing this one out just because of a couple of small perceived mistakes. That'll be a repeat of the ESRB leak.
Don't get your hopes up, but don't be so quick to get all smug about debunking it.
Who /hmmmmmmm/ here?

#TeamHmm... Checking in.

 

[Thinkaman]

I'm team "When this is all said and done we're going to have a long talk about evaluating evidence and managing sources of bias."

 

[Untouch]

Okay..
Okay..
Is that supposed to be the Spine?

Switch game spines don't look like that...

This is how the REAL one looks, it's just a with the logo, like all the other Switch spines.

 

[mbvswb]

Kinda curious how we would get 5 character reveals in a single direct, especially considering they'd all need trailers.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

There’s no Skull Kid yet we had the purple and yellow chair. K. Rool confirmed the background of the directs meant something, I would say, so I don’t think this is real.

Holy **** there are still people who have faith in the chairs?

 

[Flamingbird]

Sorry for my bad memory, but how did K.Rool confirm it?

I don't remember how he was teased before the Direct.

You think a leak is fake because of chairs?

Sorry if this came off as rude, but backgrounds don't mean anything

Look at the background for the E3 presentation. You’re blind if you don’t see anything Donkey Kong Country related.

 

[CrunchyCHEEZIT]

Also, my sides are in ****ing orbit over the fact that the Grinch may be the key to solving the mystery of Ultimate's final roster.

More like, The Grinch Who Stole Sakurai's Will To Live, or The Grinch Who Stole Vergeben's Christmas

 

[CannonStreak]

Team hmmm for me. It does look too good to be true. Guess we’ll have to wait and see how this unfolds.

 

[Chandeelure]

This seems far too good to be true, who wouldn't be pleased with this roster?

Uh, I don't know.

 

[Untouch]

If that isn't supposed to be the spine of the case, what is it?
If it's supposed to be the spine, it's dead.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Look at the background for the E3 presentation. You’re blind if you don’t see anything Donkey Kong Country related.

It was still probably a coincidence if you ask me...

 

[Pyra]

The dichotomy of man:

"Pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real "
and
"Y'all are desperate and just hate Verg, and I'm here to rub my very potent wisdom and obvious charisma in your faces like the #1 logician I obviously am"

 

[ned_ballad]

At one point, looking at that image with all the old banners, Olimar's shadow is barely even there. The earlier images on the list.

 

[Chrollo.]

I guess I’m on Team Contlicted too. As others pointed out, the shadow stuff is just way too iffy, but as even more people pointed out, the ESBR leak had a lot of things that looked iffy too. Not to mention the background information, ESPECIALLY the Grinch stuff just seems way too much work for it to be fake. It’s like the Ken leak (which i think was 100% real), it had way too much small details that common fake leaks don’t have for it to be fake. The Grinch stuff falls into that category for me lol. I have no idea how to feel.

 

[ZeldaPlayer87]

“I plan on slowing down character reveals”

>Has 1+ month to reveal SEVEN MORE CHARACTERS.

Okay.

 

[Iko MattOrr]

You got proof the Chorus Kids were never planned? Or are you talking out your ***?

I honestly think that

It's just my opinion, but I have never seen a proof that they were supposed to be in, only people mentioning gematsu and some rests of a missing icon that was supposed to be from Rhythm Heaven for reasons but was still missing from the game.
Unless there is a valid proof and I missed it, I will never believe in that story.

 

[MrReyes96]

Best part of leaks is the crow people end up eating

Don’t end up like the people who argued about shulk being a photoshopped Little Mac

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Also I meant to quote it but lost it whoops, but from last night, the back of the switch edition box, I super appreciate and love that Ridley is one of the two newcomers on the back. Shows how much of a BIG deal he is

Anyone got that picture? I must have missed it yesterday and I need to see this

 

[Metal Shop X]

The dichotomy of man:

"Pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real pls be real "
and
"Y'all are desperate and just hate Verg, and I'm here to rub my very potent wisdom and obvious charisma in your faces like the #1 logician I obviously am"

Truly, the "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" clan are the only peoples who know the truth.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Holy crap we have over 1,000 people watching this speculation! This is getting WILD!

 

[Das Koopa]

I'll wait for Vaanrose's verdict on the shadows. I can't come up with anything because of how poor the picture quality is and how badly darker colors start to "bleed" in low res images.

 

[Paperchampion23]

If that isn't supposed to be the spine of the case, what is it?
If it's supposed to be the spine, it's dead.

What are you Talking about lol? Legit confused

 

[Thinkaman]

"Y'all are desperate and just hate Verg think Sakurai is a troll/liar, and I'm here to rub my very potent wisdom and obvious charisma in your faces like the #1 logician I obviously am"

*mashes this one furiously too*

 

[Kumashock]

Everybody go home, they didn't even bother to move the shadows


Mom said it's my turn on Smash

People will argue against it, but looks fake as well to me. Good post.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I'm on Team Neutral.
Could be real, could be fake, I don't care.
But if it's real, oh man...
This would truly be Ultimate

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

Yes. Absolutely

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

At one point, looking at that image with all the old banners, Olimar's shadow is barely even there. The earlier images on the list.

On top of that, it's not like every character has a shadow or that the shadows are even clearly their shadow. Shadows are morphy and weird, man.

 

[TreeBranch]

Alright, I have to go to class. I better not come back to see this leak fake

 

[Paperchampion23]

“I plan on slowing down character reveals”

>Has 1+ month to reveal SEVEN MORE CHARACTERS.

Okay.

It's called subverting expectations on purpose

This is the spine of a case.
The "leak" is pretty clearly also a picture of the spine of a case, but it isn't the same, and is totally different than most Switch games.

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

I think this is something Mashpotato Samurai would do. What's that saying that the Japanese have? Underpromise and overdeliver? Or was it something about not building wooden houses...

Look closer, they're nothing alike...

Lol no. Not at all. It's a poster.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Rian Johnson confirmed for Smash.

The most divisive Smash fighter of all time.

 

[MrReyes96]

I mean they’re both clearly Banjo Kazooie but that’s about it
