I've watched the video, but I don't remember anything about the company that the leak came from mentioning a missing character. I don't even think there'd be any reason for them to. I think the missing character comes from Spawn Wave, who said if the leak is true there's a missing character (outside of Incineroar).
It's not the E3 banner, it's the post-8.8.18 banner.
Lip, or Panel de Pon for that matter, wasn't, in any way or form, relevant back in Melee era, I can tell you as much. By that time it was a one off puzzle game that for whatever reason got changed to Yoshi and Pokemon licenses
Anybody think Incineroar was possibly just like Skull Kid?
Don't forget Nintendo renewed the Golden Sun franchise. Coincidence?
Welcome aboard!!!
This is only based on playstyles (from previous games for vets, and potentials for newcomers), not necessarily how I feel about the characters themselves. This is subject to change for me once Ultimate releases, and I'll only be working with officially confirmed characters:Uh, I'm a bit bored so I'll expand on @drag0nscythe's idea. List your top 5 favorite and least favorite characters in SSBU. Explanations are fine, but not needed.
Favorite:
Least Favorite:(this all could change)
What about you?
He must've been like "I got your leaks right here" whipped it out and *WHIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

You know...this brings up an interesting thought: we've sort of been assuming the mural has been having characters added to it this whole time, and that they're doing that over a completed blank background, which would make a ton of sense if you had planned to add each character from the beginning. Of course you'd do that, as layers and so forth would help a ridiculous amount.
IDK man call me a pessimist but this simply doesn't line up for me. Like, what would even have been the point of holding off so much on the blog and between directs if you have THIS much you can unload. People would be experiencing non stop euphoria if this info was spread out and I feel like Sakurai is more than smart enough to know that
Reason I believe Incineroar is due to the trend of each Smash game getting a new Pokemon and retro newcomer.
Like I said, I prefer to be known as the "Yoshi guy," a positive trait
You can see the heart shape of the mask where it gets narrow on the bottom.
You see the two big eyes the right space apart
You can see the spikes coming out of the mask on both the top and bottom.
Now look to the right of him after where someone drew the black circle line, you can see what looks to be a purple fairy with wings (Tael)
Skull Kid looks like he's sitting staring at Tael
Can't see anything.
That's just Mach Rider's bike.
Yeah, you're right, I just checked. My b. But I still find it weird that Sakurai would add just a Golden Sun item and not Isaac, considering how requested he is, and the game's theme of fanservice picks.
Cause Disney is a pain in the ass.
I've always been under the assumption it was designed as a full banner and then characters were removed.You know...this brings up an interesting thought: we've sort of been assuming the mural has been having characters added to it this whole time, and that they're doing that over a completed blank background, which would make a ton of sense if you had planned to add each character from the beginning.

But...what if it's actually reversed? What if the entire mural was completed first, and characters were taken out of it so they could be kept secret?
Think about it: these aren't renders, they're drawn art. And many of them, quite a FEW of them, interact with each other. A notable example is Chrom, a character not revealed until later, is looking down at Robin, who was already there. This implies that the entire mural was planned and drawn all at once, to be a cohesive whole. That would be the easiest way to make sure the style and forms meshed together correctly, and also that the background would be the right size for everyone to fit correctly when it was done. I daresay it's the only way you could do that, but I won't say that's definite.
Either way, this could explain why the background is inconsistent--they drew the mural directly onto it, and after cutting characters out, they had to edit it to fill the spaces.
This is a bit reachy, I know. And I'm also aware that many pieces of art are also used for the cover art, which would suggest they were drawn separately. But it's possible those were cut out specifically for the boxart. I just find it odd to consider the mural characters were drawn completely separate, especially when you've got things like Wario and Dedede reacting to PT, and Dr. Mario checking G&W's vitals.
Usually I stay away from background discussion...but I thought I'd throw this in to see what you all think. It's got holes, and I'm sure it'll be blasted apart. But I haven't seen anyone suggest this yet, so why not, for the sake of discussion?
I'm interested in Spirit Hand. The game is celebrating the spirit of Smash Bros. (especially if the Grinch leak is true), so it'd be interesting to see how the final boss would be!
Off topic, but I approve of your screen name ^_^
I wouldn't say you're reaching, more like you're a bit on the dark on how the drawing process would actually work in this case.You know...this brings up an interesting thought: we've sort of been assuming the mural has been having characters added to it this whole time, and that they're doing that over a completed blank background, which would make a ton of sense if you had planned to add each character from the beginning.

I'm aware, there's intense debate even over there between the people who see the bike and people who see Majora. I can see where it definitely looks like the mask and Tael there, though. But like with PapaGeno, he said that his souce had heard everybody in the leak + Incineroar, but nothing about Skull Kid, and Skull Kid is not on the 4chan text leak.
What if this is the "missing" character?
I think there's some merit to thinking this could have been from 2016-ish. What made me think it was recent was the Grinch promotional materials as well, though since that's an animated move that takes a long time to make as well (however, the first teaser did come out this year). It could also explain why some characters could potentially be missing (though--we're starting to get even way too many more characters, I feel like we can't push it any more than there is). And really, the company's response mainly focused on the fact he hasn't worked there since 2016. Another downside is it's hard for me to believe this leak could have surfaced at any point since 2016, and it's just now coming out--too coincidental.You know...this brings up an interesting thought: we've sort of been assuming the mural has been having characters added to it this whole time, and that they're doing that over a completed blank background, which would make a ton of sense if you had planned to add each character from the beginning.

Okay now I see it and yes, that's awesome.
If true I'm glad they held off Isaac's reveal because last thing we needed were people intensively saying that the earthquake predicted Isaac.

People still gonna say it either way. Like all of twitch chat probably
FORTNITE takes the victory royale!

That's what I'm hoping, personally. Makes more sense than Incineroar and it would be great to have a new Zelda rep, especially given that the Moon is an Assist Trophy now and if Young Link's Final Smash is Fierce Deity, Skull Kid could be a great counterpart.
