Let's not doxx somebody who might not even have any real connection to this. I would assume the guy has had enough trouble over the past few days.

I meant to say if Sakurai makes Mach Rider a guy and just a guy, not even with swappable gender counterpartsWOW I CANT BELIEVE ALL THIS MACH RIDER CONTENT. IT DOESNT DESERVE IT. SAKURAI BIAS STRIKES AGAIN !!!!!!!!
I find it cool that we already have 3 colors for Mach Rider.What's the problem with people not want her to be a woman when its official?
Why it sucks? It does what Super Sonic does in his original games and it seems to get the job done.I used to want Shadow's to have the exact same FS as Sonic. But seeing how Sonic's sucks... so ... very... MUCH in Ultimate (what are they thinking, seriously??) I prefer Shadow using Chaos Blast.
That's at least what I'm speculating...Is it possible someone who works in the company used a previous employees name to avoid being discovered
I kinda want all of them to be alt costumes... imoI find it cool that we already have 3 colors for Mach Rider.
Blue jumpsuit with white helmet (and spiked shoulderpads)
Red jumpsuit with red helmet (no spikes in shoulderpads)
Black jumpsuit, black helmet (spikes in shoulderpads).
No, it's a guy at the publication company who faked it. Doesn't mean it's not faked.I've been doing some thinking, and I think this leak could very likely be real.
Of course, there's still the possibility it's fake, so I don't really want to go in-depth about what I was thinking, but y'know.
I also noticed something in the leak:

I don't know if this is a lamp or what, but look at the design; it looks like it may be the character mural again, the pink blob being Kirby; the other colors seem to lineup as well. This has to do with what I was thinking about; they clearly had access to some printing workshop or something with a bunch of materials for making decorations for marketing, which is why I find it really unlikely they were a bunch of young sociopaths trying to fake a leak, along with the discrepancies in the background probably being due to printing/ink costs.
inb4 is female so people make art of Captain Falcon "with" Mach Rider...if you know what I'm sayingRegardless of whether Mach Rider is a man or a woman, if there's not a surge of fanart of them with Captain Falcon, then what's the point.
I think that pink blob is Jigglypuff (this doesn't discount the rest of the post or anything).I don't know if this is a lamp or what, but look at the design; it looks like it may be the character mural again, the pink blob being Kirby; the other colors seem to lineup as well.

Same, like I don't know if the devs have a bias against Sonic or SEGA's just really stubborn. At least we have both of his stages here (GIVE US MORE MUSIC. LOTS MORE. 20 SONGS IS AN EMBARRASSMENT).That's pretty bad***. Loved how he got in the middle of Sonic's Here trailer from Brawl.
I'm going to be really upset if he doesn't get his own trailer. I would love to be hyped at more Sonic content being in the spotlight for once.
My friend who played Sonic at a demo we went to a while ago said you can move Sonic along his horizontal axis, so I don't think it'll be worthless. Definitely seems better for FFAs than 1v1s though.I used to want Shadow's to have the exact same FS as Sonic. But seeing how Sonic's sucks... so ... very... MUCH in Ultimate (what are they thinking, seriously??) I prefer Shadow using Chaos Blast.
Finally, a shred of Humanity, seriously, this leak is doing no one favors at all, either the whole community is dissipointed and he gets sent death threats or someone loses there job and Sakurai's work is spilled everywhere and his work is ruined.For the love of...
Do not harass this man and try to track him down. This fan base is very much entering "not cool" status with this leak. This man 100% has nothing to do with it, and all spreading his name around carelessly and trying find pages and other things about him will do is open him up for harassment from the crazier sides of the fandom.
There are lines, people, and I would suggest we don't cross them. It's a VIDEO GAME. Please keep things in perspective and do not pry into this man's life when you have absolutely no right doing so.
Alright this may seem hypocritical but it's not and I don't feel like driving into a topic on gender theory and sexism on a Smash brothers forum, but nah realistically and canonically Dark Samus should be genderless, unless someone points to a source that the Metroid prime had a gender.At least everyone can agree that Dark Samus is a female newcomer, right? There is no debate regarding her, right?![]()
He's not. He originally shared the banner on snapchat to friends, then one of the recipients posted it elsewhere.We don't even know yet if Eric is in fact the leaker himself correct?
Refer to Waluigi.ik Nintendo was well aware of project m (heh) but does anyone know how much Sakurai was aware of Project M and/or Legacy? Shadow was one of the biggest and most requested names for those projects and if Sakurai was at least marginally aware, that bodes well for my boy's inclusion.
Team HMM:I'm making a list of all the Team Fake and Team Real arguments. This is what I have so far:
Team Fake:
- Many changes to background
- Stolen renders and artwork
- Supposed leaker was fired 2 years ago, and he's over 50 years old
- No copyright information for Rare or Camelot on the back of the box
- Low quality image
- The Grinch renders are also stolen
- New plant item is a Smash original or from another series
Team Real:
- Changes made to background for cost to mass produce
- No renders or artwork have been claimed as stolen
- May also be a case of identity theft and may also be a different French graphic design company
- Copyright information is only for the characters on the box
- May have needed to sneak a picture, and it was also sent through Snapchat.
- The Grinch renders are real
- New plant item is from Golden Sun
Don’t forget my boy.I would love for Shadow (and Cloud, and Mach Rider) to be able to steal Wario's bike AND USE IT.
Since all of them can ride one. (Although... these guys can also use a bike:)
This is honestly the best scenario. I'd love this.A comment on the Mach Rider being male/female: why can't we have both with alternates like pokemon trainer or robin
Once again Captain Falcon is one of the most shipped character in gay smash art soooooo it's gunna happen no matter what XDinb4 is female so people make art of Captain Falcon "with" Mach Rider...if you know what I'm saying
Never change 4chan, never change
The French are notorious for being stuck up ***** though, so "lol, **** Nintendo" is definitely in line with what a disgruntled Frenchman in his 50s would say if he's in a ****ty mood. (no offence to Frenchies on here btw, I think you know as well as I do what I'm talking about though). Europeans are a lot more callous in general compared to Americans. When we voice our thoughts, we do it bluntly, and it's not uncommon for people to ***** about their work either, regardless of age.Whether it's real or not the circumstances around it are pretty odd. The Eric guy is in his 50s, and he knows who Isaac and Geno and the chorus kids are? Most hardcore gamers in their teens and twenties don't know these characters. And this guy is a professional in his 50s. Also "Lol**** Nintendo!" doesn't sound like a middle aged man, it sounds like a teenager. But then why behave this way at all? He is old enough and should have enough experience to know not to jeopardize his career and reputation over video games. Is it possible he did these things? Of course, but it seems very very unlikely.
On the other hand is it possible he's the scapegoat for the leak? So some guy frames him to lead people on a wild goose chase that ends where the guy works? To what end? To keep people occupied for an extra 6 hours? To ruin this guy's reputation? Again possible but unlikely. Either if its real or fake it doesn't pass the smell test.
Yes. Team HMMMMMMM leader here, wanna get your card?Team HMM:
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The closest thing is that Dark Samus is referred to as "she" and "her" (by other characters(?) and the developers).Alright this may seem hypocritical but it's not and I don't feel like driving into a topic on gender theory and sexism on a Smash brothers forum, but nah realistically and canonically Dark Samus should be genderless, unless someone points to a source that the Metroid prime had a gender.
i know you were joking btw I just think it's cool we have a genderless alien villian on the roster lol
I think he meant its functionality is bad. It only seems to zip around in the middle of the screen and can easily be avoided from what I've seen from the demo.Why it sucks? It does what Super Sonic does in his original games and it seems to get the job done.
Lethal arms ( Can't wait for Geno ) are okay but I want to see him with his Chao holding a Katana and an Axe.I want to see Shadow’s weaponry to appear in some way, like his victory animations or maybe even his official render baiting people into thinking he’ll use it ala Ganon/Dark Pit.
Most people assumed Decidueye but Incineroar is still bought into now only because of leaks really. Between the starters, lycanroc and legendaries you've got a fair few believable choices to tell leakers and they wouldn't be specifically questioned.But Pokemon only really leans on one or two per generation above all others.
The rest are fan-made echo chambers.

The bridge is still there, plus comparisons to the website banner probably won't be 100% as the website banner likely had to have characters be moved around to better account for the fact that the website banner loops.View attachment 172285
I think I found an explanation to why the castle normally seen in the banner isn't seen in the "leaked" background.
View attachment 172286
It is visible in the banner we got after Isabelle is revealed, but not in revolving banner on the site, it's being covered up by Pichu there. There's a lot more to work with in the revolving banner since the picture is significantly larger, so they could have used that one as the base.
