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.

All this over analyzation of the banner is gonna look really stupid if the leak turns out real. Just gonna drop that right now.
At the very least we'll get another "Shulk is a photoshopped Little Mac" meme out of this.
That graphics guy on reddit actually said some stuff about why he thinks it could be real.
  1. Who is "that graphics guy?"
  2. Where is the source?

And if it turns out fake it's gonna look big brain
Not denying that. I'm just saying it might be better to wait for more evidence to see if it's real or fake. The banner itself is probably the least credible thing about the leak. It's all the stuff surrounding it and Eric Bricard's ties that are making people question why a leaker would go through all of this trouble and stuff.

Except not really? Considering what little we have left to analyze and speculate on about, having people take a deep look into the banner is kind of a big deal, and probably one of the best thing we can do while we wait.

Is there any rumors about when a Smash or general Direct may happen? I’ve been hearing about Nov. 8th, but that could be fake.
I don’t think any of this is going to be definitively answered until then.

I'm fine with the skepticism but having the same part of a leak come back and leave and come back and leave is getting old.

Anybody who thinks the current comparisons are anything approaching Shulk is Little Mac territory simply does not understand how incredibly easy cutting out and moving characters is and how incredibly difficult completely changing one character into another is.
God it's so stupid
"Hey guys i feel like this thing about the leak is weir-"
"THATS WHAT EVERYONE SAID ABOUT THE ERSB LEAK DAE SHULK IS A PHOTOSHOPPED LITTLE MAC LOL"

Like im leaning towards real but damn

With the all the team talk that happened, I'll propose the thi- i mean fou- fif(team zinith wtf)-- okay sixth alternative: Team End
We believe that we cant have a true conclusion with the current information and thus we are at a stalemate, in a dead end.
We believe the only way to confirm or deconfirm the leak is the direct.
So who joins it? I dont have anything to offer and I'll give even less than that

Seriously, there was probably more effort in making the fake renders of Duck Hunt and Dr. Mario than there were the actual models in that game.

This is all the evidence we're gonna get for it man

big brain
you called?
nobody's called me that since the war

Which is why Team HMMMMMM is the best team right now.
I'll one v. all of you
The Fighting ToasterBrains Team is the best team.


"Now while this may appear to say "anyone could recreate this", I actually think it's the opposite."
While it was difficult for them, how long do you think it took them
They probably started after the leak caught wind heavily
I think the point is that although it was a whole lot of effort, it was still done relatively quickly.

The leaker, should it be fake, could have done it in a short amount of time, albeit with a lot of effort.

Well it'd be nice if there was something else to talk about but unfortunately there isn't in regards to this leak.
Maybe a better quality picture will come forward?

And that's his opinion. His entire point is he thinks it's too much work to fake, but he did all that work himself in a day.

Noipoi Noipoi You've opened Pandora's Box now by offering to draw people (for FREE I might add). You are being swamped (and will continue to be) with requests to be drawn! :chuckle:
I expected this. I've made it clear that i'll only put in who I can (I don't want it to be too crowded) but i'll try to please as many people as possible.

It'll mostly be the guys I see here the most up front, with as many other people I can fit in the background. Sort of like Easter eggs.
I'm ready to embrace my future as a fruit.

On-topic:
...But he recreated it. As he said that.
The leaker, if he is who people think he is isn't "anyone", he does this stuff for a living likely.
My point wasn't that the "leaker" couldn't have done that, it was to counter vaanrose's argument that it could be done quickly when in fact it's not easy to do at all.

Grinch is releasing late November in France?
I think we're going to get the direct before those pop up.

I'm on #TeamPopcorn.

Sit back, observe the chaos and consume copious amounts of popcorn.

... Just like I would do if I were to go watch The Grinch, I guess

This is off-topic as hell, but I would personally consider eating a talking, sapient being to be basically cannibalism. Doesn’t really matter what they look like on the outside; that dude is a walking, talking person.

Don’t ever speak about the Grinch like that again.
Oh no, ethics

But you eat chickens, I imagine, right? Yet chickens have been proven to feel boredom, frustration, hunger, pain, fear, and happiness. They even feel stress, becoming paranoid after predator attacks and visible discomforted by unnatural temperatures. And, perhaps most importantly, they feel empathy. They're also just very, very cute with lots of personality. They may not be able to verbally communicate with humans, but they're certainly intelligent creatures.

But yet, you would not eat the Grinch

I'm glad you're confident, but I don't know what to think anymore...
Way I see it, no major blows to the leak's legitimacy have been found yet. Everything that has been stated against it can be tackled and given a reasonable explanation, and it's just frankly much more believable that it's real than it is that someone went to this extraordinary effort to fake it.
