Well that depends. If the leak is real, they could be lying to make sure the surprise isn't ruined, and if it's fake they could be toying with up by saying they aren't sure when they know it's fake.
Are you the squidward 4chan resetera invasion poster by any chance lol? If so I love your dedication
"One guy claimed something which goes against this which means every insider in every industry has their credibility on the line now"
The only good thing he didnt steal was the post credits scene with Thanos doing (spoiler)
I’m not sure. IIRC Xander Mobus said he told to record some stuff for Rayman, so it may apply to fake murals. However if they made fake murals as leak bait, I feel like they didn’t include any 3rd Parties that weren’t in the game.
Things go missing, because the contrast hides them. How is that hard to understand? Things "move" because they're screenshots from a MOVING camera, and that causes blur. Not to mention, the paper it's printed on CLEARLY has a convex curve, which is obviously gonna distort the placement of elements on the image. These points have been brought up again and again and again and again and AGAIN to counterargue this dumb point, but people STILL insist that NO, this debunks the Grinch leak. There's WAYY to elements affecting the quality of the leak image, that it's honestly more impressive that it lines up to such a degree at all. If anything, the images being so SIMILAR proves it's legit, not the other way around. Not to mention the possibility existing that Nintendo, for whatever reason, simply decided to update the background art.
See the post by Ryce brought here by
Chrono.
Which I quote in my post right above yours.
See the Gematsu leak. I totally think this is plausible.
Well that was rude.
>Seems to be.
I agree with this, and especially, those changes to the background are consistent between the multiple pictures of it in the leak, so the possibility that's an artifact of the camera is completely out of question.
Gematsu wasn't fed fake info.
I personally think Incineroar is the missing character in the banner.
No, a camera wouldn't completely change areas like that. And the same problem areas are also visible on the image with the characters on it. So it's not distortion from a camera.
I think if he's not base, he may one of the first dlc characters.
A lack of information does not mean something is inaccurate.
How am I making assumption when two Insider clearly use "Doesn't match what I saw" compared to the usual "Heard" they use?
That doesn't mean the stereotypes aren't accurate to that age group. Why do you think they exist in the first place? From Google: 15% of Snapchat's users are 35+ years old. Then think of how many generations that "35+ years old" stat spans, and how that percentage is probably skewed to users closer to 35 than to 50. It's not 15% of 50 year olds, it's 15% of 35-99 year olds, and I really doubt 50 year olds make up most of that 15%. Him being 50 is very relevant to the validity of the leak because he is of the demographic that hardly touches Snapchat. Not to mention he's a 50 year old who seems to make decisions that a 20 year old would make, like breaking an NDA (concerning 2 large corporations) on social media that can easily be traced back to his name. It just doesn't make sense why someone would be so careless about their career at an age where you'd be focused on keeping a steady job until retirement.
Alright. Fair enough, but one TIIIIIIINY question. What do they gain from this? Insiders aren't the people who leaked Smash and claimed something that contradicts Grinch here. "Oh, it's to not ruin the surprise!" can't work as they're still giving it attention, meaning people would STILL be thinking about Grinch. There's no damage TO control for these credible insiders
If it's real? Zero.
"Visual proof" can include a complete reveal schedule which was 100% accurate all the way up to Isabelle's reveal, you know.
That would work, however there is one character that break this, it's Incineroar. They all seems DEAD SET on Incineroar and not others characters.
Wonderful camera skills, as usual.
Before anything, I doubt it was meaning ill will for the fans that fire starter was leak bait, I doubt it was meant for everybody to see and parade about it, just to try and weed out the sources is the possibility i go with,
And herein lies the problem that's been causing hundreds of pages worth of arguments. This is all presumptive. I've made it clear that I'm sitting on the fence for that exact reason, because there is literally no definitive proof one way or the other that you could give. Just to make it clear, for a hundredth time - I'm only arguing because I want to test every single hole in this leak.
The Grinch poster actually showed up at a Nintendo event and was legitimately handed out. That is all. Take what you will from it
