Can someone on team fake compile all the reasons why the leak could be fake? I'd like to compare what reasons I have for believing and what reasons I have to not so I can decide how hyped I wanna be before Thursday to make sure I dont get too overhyped and end up absolutely being crushed if the leak is fake.

The insiders said it was fake because it didn't have Incineroar like Vergaben said. Because Verg's word is the word of God, apparently.

Hi

Also, who are the 27 others?

I think that was for trolling. Legit thought my post was suddenly liked by 27+ people when he liked it.

 

[perfectchaos83]

Th-the banner has some discrepancies that could be explained by snapchat's ****ty compression
I'm not kidding. That's it

Snapchat's compression does not account for any of the changes in the empty banner

 

[ChronoKatie]

Everyone quick! Lock in your final guesses

Me: Ken, Incineroar, Shadow, Dragon Quest character.

Sora at VGA announced as first DLC

Hey, just made an account after lurking for the past week due to all the rumors and leaks and whatnot.

My theory is that Smashboard mods posted the grinch leak to spur speculation and get people to make accounts.

Some people here are starting to piece it together.

 

[paper roxy]

I don't think you guys have processed how huge having a Tetris character in Smash would be!

Tetris:
- is widely considered to be the best video game ever sold
- was essential to the initial launch of the GameBoy due to the massive legal entanglement it was involved in ("Tetris made Game Boy")
- is a cultural icon that can be recognized by literally anyone with a brain cell
- is the best-selling video game of all time across all platforms

Amidst other reasons. Third party characters have to be iconic across the globe. There is no game more recognizable than Tetris.

This is not a joke. This would be a landmark character and would solidify Smash as "the biggest crossover in gaming history"!

Wth... is going on... did we get all the roster? or is just hype from all people?

.n_n.

Music update didn't come today, implying a character from a new series is getting revealed in the Direct, basically soft-confirming that Box Theory is dead.

Also, it seems Mariotehplumber is involved with the Grinch leak, and it may or may not be real.

My theory is that you just found yourself a new “home”

Not until this Thursday

Everyone quick! Lock in your final guesses

Shadow...he is all

 

[Starbound]

so I can decide how hyped I wanna be before Thursday to make sure I dont get too overhyped and end up absolutely being crushed if the leak is fake.

If you don't want to get overhyped, go in assuming it's fake and you'll be hyped anyways. You literally answered your own question here.

I'm going in expecting:
- Ken and Incineroar playable
- Isaac and Shadow as ATs
- Mach Rider and Chorus Kids as trophies
- Banjo and Geno are just not there

 

[Mr. Z and 27 others]

Hi

Also, who are the 27 others?

Oh, that's just so when I like a post it looks like 28 people liked it.

 

[Mutsukki]

Oh boy, we ARE skipping music tonight.

I don't know how to feel about this... This could mean so many things

 

[Fablemad]

Some pretty big jerk who got famous for hoarding rosalina amiibo just because he hated the character...
He's currently believed to be the Ganondorf leaker, thanks to both of them saying "Broken Clocks"

Ramen please, you've read my post, there's more then just the broken clocks thing

 

[Radical Bones]

I literally dont know anything about mariotehplumber but this tweet made me laugh so hard. Dude, type source into a thesaurus lol.

This would be funny as satire.

 

[SushiRoll]

Does anyone still have the link for the FULL size of the banner? Thanks

Nevermind, found it. https://www.pidgi.net/wiki/images/5/5c/Fighters_-_Super_Smash_Bros_Ultimate.jpg

Speaking of MarioTehPlumber, I found this gem:

 

[Shroob]

Real? Fake?


In the end, all that matters is the game will be out in a month and a week.

Wow, I don’t know who this guy is but the video is pretty funny about Smash Ultimate! Hahaha

We should all thank Mr. Sookarai for the amazing game when this is all said and done.

 

[Mr. Z and 27 others]

Howdy! Folks call me Noipoi! Welcome to the boards!

Hey Noipoi, digging the art. Very stylish stuff.

 

[SoccerStar9001]

Oh, that's just so when I like a post it looks like 28 people liked it.

I actually fell for it LOL.

 

[SigmaMewtwo]

So, who else is just.... flat out not going to sleep tomorrow night?


Knowing me, I'll sleep right through it if I try to wake up too early, and I'll also be an idiot and spoil myself like August's.

Considering Wednesdays are my longer workdays, if anything, I might wake up earlier than anticipated on Thursday morning for the direct. That is, of course, dependent on whether or not the hype gets to me tomorrow night and I have a harder time going to sleep.

At least I'll be able to catch the direct before I head into work, with about 45 minutes to spare, so I'm grateful for that.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

No matter what happens fake or not

Pew should all enjoy smash bros ultimate no matter what the roster is.

The truth about the insiders since this morning

Another post that is going to be amazing read after the direct regardless of whether is the leak is true or false. Thanks!

Hey, just made an account after lurking for the past week due to all the rumors and leaks and whatnot.

My theory is that Smashboard mods posted the grinch leak to spur speculation and get people to make accounts.

Welcome aboard! Your theory could be on point. Many people are joining including me recently.

My prediction:

No Incineroar
Some characters are actually assists
some problems with the background
The roster being too good to be true
7 Characters seem a bit much
The Snapchatter's name not being blurred out all the way

There's a lot more, but these are just the major ones

Ramen please, you've read my post, there's more then just the broken clocks thing

I believe it is indeed him, I just think it was an elaborate hoax

 

[paper roxy]

thank you for reminding the world of dunkey, can't wait for him to beat sky at smash again.

man, the grinch leak sure does remind me of that time dunkey beat sky in smash brothers

I joined a few days ago for the same reason. You might be onto something here...

 

[Luigi The President]

thank you for reminding the world of dunkey, can't wait for him to beat sky at smash again.

Personally hoping he lets Sky have his revenge and have only clips of Sky beating Dunk's ass
Because I really miss seeing those two together and I legit worry about their friendship LOL

 

[NineS]

I didn't say it'd be the "greatest character." (the greatest character for Smash would be Terra or Slime/Loto)

And it wouldn't be a bunch of blocks in the shape of a person. It'd be closer to this mock-up:

This is honestly amazing.
I want it. Now.

Who needs minecraft when you have tetris?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Everyone quick! Lock in your final guesses

Can we please get the Animal Crossing tree as our next AC character as DLC?

honestly? it'd be better recieved by the community compared to isabelle

 

[ChronoKatie]

Anyone else going to watch the E3 and August direct before to get hyped?

The background appears to be reverse engineered from the ground up. Team Real tends to claim it my only appear to be this way because of blur and compression, but some changes we have a hard time buying are because of that. Not to mention that these changes are all in places that are obscured by characters in the officially confirmed banners, which is very hard to believe is purely due to coincidence.

You aren't going to convince me "Snapchat compression" managed to magically change the shapes and positions of those crystals in the third panel.

It appears to us that the leaker didn't know there was a blank version of the background available and thus had to create his own in order to move all the characters around. This seems like very convincing evidence against the leak to me.

 

[Deleted member]

Are we still going back and forth about the leak? Good lord, we really do go in circles lol.

 

[Zinith]

There seems to be a lot of new users popping up just because of this Grinch leak

Feel kinda bad for sky, isn't he primarily streaming or something? He hasn't posted to youtube in months.

 

[HesIn]

Actually, if there's any character besides Mario who would be involved in a cinematic with him, it's Rosalina with her astral powers. I could see this as a deliberate hint/reminder to people who forgot Rosalina exists.
