What about shadow? I haven’t been too caught up. Sorry

If you are wanting to know gamexplain predictions on shadow. It’s that some of them are expecting two echo fighter: ken and shadow. Ken they expect to be 100% in but shadow they are iffy on but they said he would make sense but he is still iffy

 

[RyuhoFox]

I don’t even like Isaac but relevancy is a weak argument against anyone

Ice Climbers are the definition of irrelevant
Mr Game & Watch, too
Ness arguably wouldn’t even really be remembered if it wasn’t for Smash
Etc

To be honest don't think fighters like Ice Climbers and G&W are too good examples since they were added due to them being old as retro picks. Though don't think relevancy is too important any way

 

[Shroob]

Roger on Japan Time was actually pretty illuminating on that--many of the characters "predicted" were stuff going through the insider circles, though when Isabelle was brought up he said you'd have to ask him on that one.

(I think, it's a long podcast and it's hard to find the specific point to fact check it)

Yeah, but he still has some ties to the industry.


He guessed all those FF titles, Captain Toad 3ds and pulled Kirby's Epic Yarn 3d out of thin air.



He also tells a lot of lies, so it's hard to know for sure.

 

[Fortnite4Smash]

Define which. Because I remember the day of people posted an entire sheet of Grinch head/Max head renders.

The only one that 'hasn't been properly source is the back of his head, and, well that wouldn't be that hard to fake, IF IT IS FAKE, not saying it is.

Either one, there were two right? I saw one the one with the dog, but you could see his face in that one. What about the other one?

 

[Opossum]

never really had any for her. they’re just Nintendo shills who defend anything they do from that i’ve seen

Considering Andre's a guy, I'm not sure if you're informed enough to judge.

 

[ErenJager]

No matter what happens, someone is going to come out of this Direct looking really, really ****ing stupid. The only question is who: The Grinch leak believers, or the insiders?

Anyone who isnt a Goku supporter will look stupid.

 

[staindgrey]

Okay let’s make a bet on how far into the direct will be the point that everybody looses their collective **** over the leak... for if it’s right or wrong...

Personally I hope it’s at the very start

The very start or very close to the very start, a la Richter.

Someone or something is going to be announced that none of us expected and it's going to make the whole rest of the direct like Christmas morning.

 

[Z25]

Wasn't there an interview where Sakurai said he was reffering to the Ballot as a way to choose characters this time?

Sort of. K rool was chosen based on the ballot because Nintendo have no clue people wanted him beforehand. So it’s likely other charters were chosen the same wat

 

[Fatmanonice]

All this talk of how relevancy is essential to character additions when everybody seems to be forgetting Richter's last major appearance was 1997...As far as I'm concerned, Richter hardcore torpedoed that argument.

 

[Shroob]

Either one, there were two right? I saw one the one with the dog, but you could see his face in that one. What about the other one?

Like I said, people were able to find an entire sheet with like, 5-7 different Grinch head renders.


The only unsourced one is the back of his head, but again, if, saying IF, it's fake, that's not that hard to make yourself if you have the frontward facing render.

 

[PK-remling Fire]

Okay let’s make a bet on how far into the direct will be the point that everybody looses their collective **** over the leak... for if it’s right or wrong...

Personally I hope it’s at the very start

I think it's gonna start at the very beginning. If the direct starts off on a character, depending on who it is it could either make or break the grinch leak

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Just thought I would post this today and tomorrow for reminders of team real points

https://www.videogameaccountant.com/2018/10/29/grinch-leak/

And now that the direct is 40 as well on,y approximately 12 minutes required for 7 characters

 

[Jetsurge]

jon said no isaac and rayman and klonoa dead for good and no chorus kids
View attachment 173822

Please I want something good in my life sakurai why do you leave me cold

every day i cry and hope the grinch is real and saves us

Jon said no King K. Rool right before he was revealed sooooooo

Simon I recall was requested. Was Richter ever?

Within seconds. If a trailer doesn't immediately foreshadow one of the seven characters ('this isn't a forest!', 'where's the sun?') people will start freaking out.

[**Gilgamesh**]

I feel like the whole AT thing is probably bluff from the deeper ups, remember, lies can be said and spread.

I'd make no sense to have a AT in the banner since all the characters in the mural are meant to be Playable (Except Mr. Saturn. He's a Item and The Smash Team likely enjoys him a lot more. I mean how can you not love these guys?)

This is assuming the Grinch Leak Banner is legit. If it's indeed false like all the insiders all saying then it doesn't matter if a lot of them were assists since it was never legit to begin with and made up.

 

[Deleted member]

I’d argue richter had a major role in portrait of ruin, which was in 2006.

 

[paper roxy]

One character from the Banner 7 is in the game. The other 6 aren't.

You get to choose.

Who are you going to pick?

Personally, it's Banjo-Kazooie for me. That game was my absolute favourite when I was a kid and I played it on repeat.

geno without a doubt

 

[staindgrey]

Considering Andre's a guy, I'm not sure if you're informed enough to judge.

pfffffft--HA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA. HA. HAHA. Ha. Heh. Heh heh. Phew.

That was my favorite comeback to anything said in this thread. A+. Would like again.

 

[Kuon]

Huh... Didn't know that. What about Simon? I know he was the OG Castlevania dude. Is there a third protagonist for Castlevania? (I've never played Castlevania as you can probably tell)

 

[CosmicQuark]

Yeah, but he still has some ties to the industry.


He guessed all those FF titles, Captain Toad 3ds and pulled Kirby's Epic Yarn 3d out of thin air.



He also tells a lot of lies, so it's hard to know for sure.

Yeah, Roger also mentioned the FF titles, and that probably wasn't a "guess" as well. Again, I definitely remember Roger talking about that specifically, but I forget exactly what he said.

 

[supercopper64]

I can’t seem to find the Mii Fighters on the banner leak even tho they were on the other banner. Can anyone else want them out for me?

 

[Shroob]

Considering Andre's a guy, I'm not sure if you're informed enough to judge.

Holy crap that... that's just savage.

 

[SmileyLeet]

Shadow!

 

[LetterO]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

It's over. The leak is real. We have Flex Seal on our side.

 

[Matoi]

Does anybody else think it's strange that not a single insider knows anything about Spirits mode. Kind of strange considering it's the big new mode of the game. Now that I think about it they don't seem to know about anything besides characters

I feel like that’s because they’re just piggybacking off of each other and don’t really know anything. Funny how the only one who leaked anything before the Grinch leak after E3 was Vergeben, after the Grinch leak all these other insiders started coming out of no where

 

[Dcas]

Sigh...well everyone is pointing towards no Isaac except Mystic and papagenos.


Well RIP Isaac.

 

[SuperSceptile15]

Why always people have to shove political agenda on things like videogames?

Geez, Im mexican therefore not really a fan of Trump, but... why the majority of the journalist likes to shove political things in this kind of things and blame Trump for everything?

Im gettin' tired of that.

Our country is incredibly divided now. It seems like, on both sides, people are too afraid to speak out and voice their opinions as much as they did before. If you try to defend people dressing up as African Americans for Halloween, you risk losing your job. If you dare criticize the President, some nutjob will send a bomb to you. It's an absolute mess.

 

[staindgrey]

One character from the Banner 7 is in the game. The other 6 aren't.

Geno.

So people will ****ing shutup about him.

 

[xAquaCrystal]

Didnt Jon “predict” Shadow a few weeks ago?

I think he did but now he seem unsure. Idk something strange is going on.

 

[LetterO]

Sigh...well everyone is pointing towards no Isaac except Mystic and papagenos.


Well RIP Isaac.

Yes... Sadly Isaac isn't relevant enough. Jon made a good point and completely shut down the Isaac hype train. /s

 

[Deleted member]

Something I’ve been thinking about recently is whether a character like strider hiryu is eligible for smash. For those who don’t know, Strider initially began as a multimedia franchise of a manga and a game, with the manga coming first, making strider a manga character. But at the same time strider is way more well known as a videogame character than a mang character, having made many appearances in games throughout the years. When you look up videogame ninjas, strider is always there, and you could argue that the manga was just there to advertise the game. But idrk.

it will not stop me

Checkmate, Athiests.

 

[paper roxy]

Konami has 3 other reps, that's why Bman ain't in even if he should be.

Sakurai isn't disrespecting Geno like that. And I doubt Phill spencer is like "sure **** the banjo fans, you can him as an assist. Let's add Master chief instead, kids these days love guns. Or that block guy we own, yeah let's get him"

I don't see microsoft of all companies allowing an assist trophy without a playable character.

honestly square letting one of their most popular characters being an assist(in terms of fans that are just nintendo fans) and, like you said, sakurai disrespecting geno like that is waaay too unlikely

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

If it’s real

Can’t wait to see the looks on the insiders faces that they were wrong

 

[supercopper64]

Why are the mii fighters missing on the banner
