Start taking commissions then, your time gets you some money as compensation then

I dunno if i'm good enough to get money for my stuff...

Everyone has talent. If you are that good at drawing, you might be worth it.

To kind of steer away for a bit, if the online tournament up to 32 people is indeed true, Would y'all be willing to do a weekly get together and do a Smashboards tournament? I think that would be a lot of fun!

What bosses would you say would work best for Spririts Mode?
I say the Broodals Mech, Calamity Ganon, Ultra Necrozma, DJ Octavio and The Final Boss from Kingdom Battle (plsdontspoilitIreallywannaplayit)
We’re pretty obv getting Dracula and Rathalos.
If we’ll get some kinda extra DLC battles then I actually think an Ender Dragon Boss Battle could work well if it came with Steve.
It would also be cool if Tabuu returned.

I don't think they'll put Calamity Ganon, he's kind of kept secret in the game (I know Sakurai hasn't been perfect with secrets, but the game was still in development when Smash was being developed). I think a Guardian is pretty likely honestly. For the games most iconic enemy I think it's odd they aren't seen in the new tower stage.

This is something that a lot of people don't seem to get. A clean version was not known about to a very large amount of people, so most people assumed one simply didn't exist publically. As a Fake leaker, it's not a bad assumption to assume having a blank background would help with legitimacy because, as far as they knew, it never existed in the public eye and, if it were to ever exist, it would be after the Leak has served it's purpose. Most people already assumed one existed internally due to the way the mural has been handled thus far. If we never found that Blank mural, I guarantee "It has the empty version of the mural, so it has to be legit" would be a very common argument for it.

It's only because of this leak that the blank version is now public knowledge and it took A LOT of digging to find. In turn, when comparing began a vast majority of the differences exist behind characters that have never been seen on any mural released thus far.

Is it known where the empty mural came from when it did? And how hard exactly hard was it to find?
I am asking because I have a really hard time assuming that the faker who seems to have thought about everything, assumingly framed somebody or used his own career to create this fake leak did not think about looking for the empty mural. In my mind, if you are planning to do such thing you prepare a lot. And that would include looking for this.

Do not get me wrong. I'd love for this leak to be true but it is not completely real or fake for me. I am just trying to unterstand some points considering the history of the leak.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what Occam's razor is used for.

ESRB:

"Ness's shirt is different! Fake!"
"Typo's! Fake!"
"Shulk! Little Mac! Photoshop!" Fake!"
"CSS sucks!" Fake!"
" Wario's Eye! Fake!"
" Game and Watch loves Wario! Fake!"

"Or it could just be real"

> Ends up being real

To be fair, comparing those details to like... Having half of the background being inconsitent with what we've seen and what Nintendo used so far with PUBLIC promotional material is kinda different to the strawgrasping that the people during ESRB did.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Not really. Just some people trying to use a philosophy principle to try to prove the leak being real or fake (in their favor).

Let me guess, Occam's Razor aka simplest solution?

 

[Deleted member]

It means nothing. It hasn't been verified by anyone that this man is involved. It's just someone's name on a piece of paper. If you are going to assume it's him you also have to assume he is an idiot for doing this. I operate on the belief that people do not lack common sense. You should also stop using the name. More people don't need to know about it.

Also I have skimmed /v/ many times over the past few days and haven't seen anything resembling the image you claim exists.

It's not on a piece of paper. IT'S ON HIS ****ING PHONE. When you post a story on Snapchat, your profile name is on the top right hand corner of the screen for everyone to see. My god man, I've said this like 3x already in this conversation.

Only way his name is on there, is if someone with the name of Eric Bricard for a Snapchat profile, took the video. That's LITERALLY the only possible way that could happen.

2nd, you were already tagged in a post ITT where the image I was talking about was provided.

Finally, do you also operate under the assumption that people are infallible? Because simple human error, an honest-to-good mistake due to oversight is all it takes for someone to do what Eric Bricard did. Which, is FAR more common than you're pretending it is. People make goofs of this caliber, and even much much worse while on the job ALL the time.

[TMNTSSB4]

This is the best tag team

Hail the IIconics indeed.. (Im totes a Billie Kay main in WWE2k19)

The question is will Banjo be base roster or dlc? I didnt put him on my predicyions list because its a togh one to call, but I t believe he will likely be in and yes Shadow is going to be awesome with his edgyness.. Oh and hopefully he has a better alt color set than Sonic's generic colors.

At best he’d be dlc (as a way for both Nintendo and Microsoft to make some extra cash)...also I main the hell out of Becky

 

[PeridotGX]

OK...we all know that everyone is divided when it comes to do we believe this is real or not, but what if we phrase the question differently:

Do you WANT this leak to be real or not? No facts, no proof, no debunking. If these were the final 7 newcomers, would you be excited?

...sorta? I don't care about any of the characters, but it beats the alternative (Box Theory).

 

[MashedPotatoUltimate]

From my knowledge there isn't a single Grinch 2018 promo image that looks like the one on the leak, I've even tried lining up images with other Grinch promo art that include the dog and none have the full body or same positioning as the one on the leak

it's just something I found interesting unless it was already brought up before..
Here's the Link to the image since i'm not sure how to insert images here

[Mc.Rad]

So apparently in certain cities, they have unique Grinch billboards where the Grinch dunks on that city...


Needless to say I think Kyoto’s was supposed to be him leaking the rest of the Smash Bros roster

If it’s being True means Inci isn’t it then Hell No
If Inci is actually in anyway then Hell Yeah, I don’t care for these characters, but others do, so I want em if I can have my Cat Boi

Yes I would. Although I have almost zero connection to any of the characters or franchise in the leak my wife loves Banjo and my brother is a huge sonic fan. But it also shows how much fan influence is in the Roster now with Isaac, Geno and Banjo.

I just want an Advance Wars rep. There’s a big Andy shaped hole in my heart.

Someone please explain to me real quick what in the name of hell Occam's Razor is?

...

Oh! You meant the actual term? Well... the description of it says it all!

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Yeah, it kind of is.

But, because I missed so many wonderful people, i'm debating making a "season two" poster with more users.

I feel like I've missed something great here, could you point me in the direction of the poster you've made?

Edit: sorry, internet is acting up

So, is it his profile? I believe there's a twitter account named Masahiro Sakurai with picture of a large black man.

Okay then you won't have trouble pointing it out to me, since people are not infallible and all. Also you should really stop using his name.

What's that? You take requests!

I have one! And I DEMAND that you put my request at the very bottom of your list.
I'd like to see your take on Emil.
I know I said I'd hop off for a bit, but opportunity strikes.
Feel free to reject my request, though. As this was initially just a joke request.



Papageno isn't the leaker. He's the leaker's messenger. He claims that the leaker who told him this who I'm assuming is Vergeben, considering PapaGeno says this leaker is one he trusts for his reputation, and if we knew who it was we'd probably trust him too and he's just telling everyone what the leaker told him, but keeping the leaker anonymous.

If it means anything Papagenos said it specifically wasn't Vergeben.

I may have been sorry lol

Ehh... Yes? No?

Truth be told, Chorus Kids are the only characters from the Grinch leak I'm rooting for. I typically don't care for third-parties, so that wipes out more than half the characters. To add on to that, Banjo and Geno are two characters who I've never really understood the support for. Glad their fans would get what they wanted, but that's about the full exent of my happiness.

On top of this, if someone were to impersonate Eric Bricard by using him as a scapegoat, why the hell would they attempt to scrub out the name? That literally makes no sense.

The scrubbed out name proves that someone didn't want the name to be found, meaning its either him or someone using his phone.

Or are we also going to argue the logic that an impersonator purposefully failed at scrubbing the name, hoping that someone would use tools to find it and look him up?

This is why I can't be on the fake team.

 

[JacobLeBeauOFFICIAL]

HEY guys. Anything new? And preferably, anything regarding Phoenix Wright?

Nadda

 

[KMDP]

I agree most people didn't know it existed, but it probably just took someone who was actually there to remember seeing it and then voila. Not really any digging required.

What are the chances a guy from France is going to have gone to E3?

Not only that, if you believe Eric to be the guy who leaked it himself with no third parties, this is a 50-year-old Frenchman going to E3.

> Ends up being real

Occam's Razor is that the simplest solution is real, at least in most cases.

"Suppose there exist two explanations for an occurrence. In this case the one that requires the least speculation is usually better."

There is equal evidence (if you want to call it that) for both sides of the leak. Meaning that there isn't just one simple solution, there are two. So how can Occam's Razor really be applied here?

Most people saying it seem to be using it to disregard the points the other side of the leak have, which in my opinion is an over-simplification of the discussion.

Literally anyone on any side right now can say "I call Occam's Razor" and apparently they are right. In which case, why even talk at all?

Hey Welcome to Smashboards! That is an interesting find.

Okay then you won't have trouble pointing it out to me, since people are not infallible and all. Also you should really stop using his name.

Ok, so which takes the least amount of assumptions:

A. Eric Bricard took the leak with his snapchat profile, that's why his name is on there.

B. A person looked up a company which printed out media for gaming companies, the found Eric Bricard's name, they made a new fake snapchat account under that name, got a sizeable enough number of followers for his post to get noticed, made the fake leak, and took a video of it on snapchat... all in the span of like a couple weeks.

Do you see now why Occam's Razor is so handy? Because your scenario is ABSURD.
