The only reason I like talking about the Grinch leak is because of how much a fantastic and perfect base roster it would have and how happy we would be for it to be legit.
I mean it has Geno, Issac, freaking Shadow, MOTHER EFFING BANJO who are all highly requested fan picks that have been wanted since Brawl alongside once considered picks like Mach Rider and Chorus Kids which could finally have a chance as well the already likely original Echo Ken, what more could you ask for with an already awesome roster?
Yeah it’s sad that Skull Kid, Bandana Dee etc couldn’t make the cut but there’s always DLC.
Even some people on Team Fake want it to be real, even if they doubt the evidence.
So my question is: If this were real, then why did Nintendo send the full real thing? Why didn't they send any of the previous non-spoilery versions for fitting and sizing instead? This is coming from the same people who deliberately chose digital screens and no printed materials to avoid spoilers, so a big sky tube banner with every last newcomer on it surely wouldn't have been overlooked as a potential leak. Why would this one be the one source they'd assume was so safe, they could trust it with the whole roster?
That’s easy to answer, most likely for launch promotion when the full roster is known to the public.
