• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk or buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup melted butter

I think it was more than 1/2 teaspoon of salt. I think it was more like 10.4 million megatons of salt

 

[Gentlepanda]

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

I think it was about 8 buckets, actually.

(What was in the Grinch Leak)

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk or buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup melted butter

It was a lot like a fast food ad. What you got tasted good, but looked nowhere as good as what was advertised, and what was actually in the advertisement wasn't edible.

 

[Blargg888]

Hah! Living Room’s Battlefield form is great.

I like how they used the building blocks as the main platform.

 

[RandomAce]

Uh, if you want it.

This guy on Reddit made an Ultimate manual for imgur, and it's printable too. I mean, the move list and strategy guides are there, but this looks mostly okay.

They confirmed where Dark Pit actually belongs.

The character order goes from -> -> . Meaning that Dark Pit was supposed to be a secret unlockable and wasn’t actually meant to be teased from Palutena’s Trailer.

it was a pancake recipe that I just copied and pasted but now I'm wondering why they are putting salt in pancakes

is it you Akechi

Where th did the Grinch leak come from and why was it convincing? It seems so unbelievable.

I feel so vindicated lol.

Edit: Wait, never mind. The guide is fan made.

It wasn't believable, but people are really good at lying to themselves.

 

[osby]

I think chracther choice is based off two factors how popular they are and how much money they make

They aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

It seems so unbelievable.

And yet, loads of people believed it.

 

[beans]

Where th did the Grinch leak come from and why was it convincing? It seems so unbelievable.

Complementary evidence and big amount of details.
There were names attached to it, giving it credibility.
There were details confirming it was a proffisional advertisement work.

Hindsight is 20/20, baby!

You know, for as absolutely fantastic as the music selection is this time around, there's one series where it bums me out: the Punch-Out!! music selection.

Like, not getting new remixes I can understand, but can we at least get some of the fight themes for the other boxers? Glass Joe, Aran Ryan, Soda Popinski, Super Macho Man, and Von Kaiser have some great ones.

If you think THAT's bad Star Fox had four new games (Zero, Guard, Star Fox 2, and StarLink) to choose music from. We got nothing except two tracks from Zero I think.

This is a fanmade creation. It didn't reveal anything

 

[DeltaSceptile]

I still don’t see how anyone could’ve thought the grinch leak was real. It had way to many characters to be revealed in literally one direct. And Banjo would’ve been way to good to be true anyway. I mean, some characters from leak were technically there, just maybe not as we hoped (assists)

 

[Cosmic77]

Where th did the Grinch leak come from and why was it convincing? It seems so unbelievable.

Considering how we had a poll with 800 participants and roughly 70% thought the Grinch leak was real, more than a few people were expecting Geno and Banjo November 1st.

I was Team Fake, but even I have admit that there were points where I wasn't sure if it was real or not. The work looked professional, and it had a very convincing story to tie in with it. Very few can look back and proudly state that they never believed it for a minute.

40 minute direct was looking good on paper.
When compared to the rate of reveals from the august direct, it could fit easily.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I just woke up in a cold sweat from an incredibly vivid dream that Devilish Kawashima was one of the fighter pack fighters and he played exactly like an E-rated version of Omega Tiger Woods of MUGEN/Saltybet fame.

Smash has taken over my life completely. This is the second time in as many days I've had DLC dreams. If any of them prove to be real I'll apply to be a prophet.

oh god, I love Omega Tiger Woods

Me
I went from 100% fake to 99% fake/1% fake but based on real informations, for a couple of hours, then I returned on 100% fake.

 

[osby]

bold take

Yeah, they're going to make sure all DLC characters are niche, unpopular characters that nobody will buy because companies hate fans. /s

Just imagine playing a round of Smash, with this music playing in the background... Glorious

There were names attached to it, giving it credibility.
There were details confirming it was a proffisional professional advertisement work.

It obviously wasn't confirmed to be professional advertising work because, you know, it was fake.

It was the efforts of one psychotic fan (mariotehplumber) to screw with the entire community. I would typically never say this out of respect to those with mental disorders, but the term "never underestimate weaponized autism" applies well to the scenario.

Hello, I thought it was fake for a large majority of that speculation period and was mocked for it. Even as someone who supported box theory and was used to be targeted for it it was bad. Multiple people here were put on my ignore list because I couldn't deal with the immaturity expressed by them.

 

[Deleted member]

I ain’t gonna fault anybody for believing the grinch leak. It definitely had a lot of small things pointing towards it at the time depending on your perspective.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Where th did the Grinch leak come from and why was it convincing? It seems so unbelievable.

It definitely helped that it had a lot of highly requested characters involved...

I didn't think it was real, because no Incineroar. But i was REALLY hoping that whoever made it had gotten lucky and just happened to get the characters right by accident.

I didnt mean it as a confirmed work to be used, but I get where comes the misunderstanding.
The details like the commands for printing and mock-ups made it look real to me.

And I understand to never underestimate someone with tons of free time, but still, if we start doubting something because it can always be a fake then we should doubt everything.

 

[kirbsmash]

Incineroar is leaker balt.

 

[Gentlepanda]

I can't blame anyone for looking into the massive amounts of evidence that sprung up in its favour, but 8(?) new characters left unrevealed in a game where Sakurai explicitly said every fighter was going to be revealed pre-release should probably have given people more pause.

 

[Deleted member]

Incineroar is leaker balt.

Man, that Harada tweet really came out at the worst time didn’t it?

 

[osby]

You're saying it like this fandom is more than ready to believe any leak involving their favorite character and easily discards the ones that they don't like.

Are we sure he was responsible for it? I wouldn't put it past him and he definitely could've, but literally any random asshat on the Internet could've claimed this.

 

[osby]

But don't want to lie.

Guys. I don't think the directs were real. That was just an elaborate fake with a Sakurai lookalike. No game is coming because it's not real. It's the Grinch Leak all over again.

Man, that Harada tweet really came out at the worst time didn’t it?

What Harada Tweet?

 

[beans]

Are we sure he was responsible for it? I wouldn't put it past him and he definitely could've, but literally any random ****** on the Internet could've claimed this.

He implied something would happen at a set date.
That date was the grinch leak date.
Also he has resources for it, he bought ****tons of Rosalina amiibo cause he dint want her fans to buy it.

 

[ClaTheBae]

Literally the only thing going against the leak was the amount of characters and the absence of inceneroar.

We will never get one like it again

 

[Deleted member]

What Harada Tweet?

During the peak of the grinch leak, Harada replied to someone on twitter saying that in order to prevent Tekken characters leaking, he sent different bits of info to different divisions to catch people out, essentially using leaker-bait. Harada works at Bamco. You can probably see where this was going.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Oh, by the way, EVERYONE here should bite the bullet and accept that we're not getting a character trailer at the Game Awards, there's no way they can make a model and moves to show off in that amount of time

but I haven’t thought of any Smash announcements for the GAs... an I still bite a bullet?

Goku's ****ing garbage and shouldn't of been made

no

He's coming

Spoiler

thought Goku was fighting Goku Black or Gogeta...or just another Goku

Hah! Living Room’s Battlefield form is great.

I like how they used the building blocks as the main platform.

Living Room is always great

tbf, some thought he was an alt, some thought he was a clone or unique fighter, some thought he was a boss, some thought he was an AT character...so it confirms nothing about his fated placement
