Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[The Slayer]

Hi guys, Sakurai is awesome.

He would be if he gave me that DAMN fourth Zelda character.

 

[HesIn]

Throw Chorus Kids on there. I was reminded that an Insider is actually confident about them.

I'm fairly certain that almost everyone one the Grinch banner has had someone say they are confident about them, aside from Banjo and Mach Rider.

EDIT: I take it back, PapaGeno said a Microsoft source said yes to Banjo. Has anyone else said yes to Banjo?

This timeline is too pure for this world.

Honestly Smash fans from what I gather from outside the fandom are known for being insanely toxic, perhaps one of the most toxic fandoms out there.
At least for me I generally don't see anywhere the amount of vitriol against leakers and insiders as I see in this fandom in others. We are a hard group to not piss off because of how many different opinions and egos there are and sometimes how much of a hivemind we can be. Im frankly amazed that insiders even care to talk to us a great deal of time.

Well maybe insiders shouldn't bother leaking Smash to begin with. Then no one would be able to complain about them. Also, "toxic" is such an overused buzzword. Why not use a different term every once in a while like "obnoxious" or "annoying"?

Dunno if people are still talking about the Leak in here. Seems like some are from the last few pages in here, so I just wanted to leave another little comparison thing that hopefully helps people out.

There are timestamps in the description that will make it easier to switch between different versions. Also, the aspect ratio is silly. =P

I was inspired to make this comparison after the weird stuff on reddit about an anomaly on the website with little mac and whatnot. I had a hunch that the gif comparisons might be comparing two completely different locations within the overall image, and my suspicion was correct. Little Mac's position in the scene changes drastically between the leak and the website banner.

Anywho, hope this helps people in the discussion. As always, you're free to derive any conclusions you want from the comparison. I'm not asserting anything specific, so I'll let the evidence speak for itself.

It's kinda funny how some characters nowhere near Isabelle change position between the Simon version and the Isabelle version, like ROB and the shadow under Villager.

Say, guys, I have been thinking: What if there was a two person fighter like Ice Climbers to be revealed in a future Direct? They would function the same way as the Ice Climbers, but they each have their own moveset different from each other, and you can determine who is the lead character of the two on the select screen. What do you all think of this?

Chris & Jill.

Chris punches ****, Jill acrobatically kicks ****. All weapons are the same.

 

[Gyrom8]

So what are we going to find in Sakurai's choice of furniture this time round? Evidence of future DLC characters? Or proof that he knows his feng shui?

Update on the season two poster!

I wasn't gonna do this originally, but a lot of people keep asking about it

After taking a day to figure out who'll go where and etc, I've finally started to draw the thing. If i'm lucky it'll be done tomorrow, Thursday at the latest!

Spoiler

I said I wanna keep who's in a surprise, and I will for the most part, but the first person to reply to this gets their fate revealed. Just for fun, y'know?

 

[Pyra]

Last newcomer is Professor Oak. He's a Peach echo. His down special pulls out Pokeballs instead of turnips.
Otherwise he has exactly the same moves

He's a sassy man, don't judge.

Hey, my sources are confident about Banjo and Mach Rider, but not Chorus Kids or Isaac. They also claim Shadow's still an AT.

I know I'm not in but why not.

 

[Shawksta]

Just for clarity, my comment about the silvergunner video is about the actual word spoken, because the actual audio got deleted so silvergunner’s video is the only trace for now

 

[P1ZZ4CHU]

Truly insane ending: Grinch leak is faked but every single character in it is in Smash

It's hurting me as someone who actually likes the character for the character that people only care that Mach Rider is there to fill some arbitrary quota they made up and "for representation!" While they deliberately spread misinformation about a character.

It's a joke

 

[Spatman]

I would be surprised if there wasn't a huge announcement on the first in order to drive sales for the bundle released the next day.

moreover, Nov 1 is holiday in many regions around the world, so it's likely they can have an even larger audience

 

[Aerospherology]

Captain N: The Game Master

Makes sense. He's technically a video game character.

 

[Pyra]

Dunno if people are still talking about the Leak in here.

ahahaha oh man

 

[Paperchampion23]

I'm telling you, i'm more inclined to believe all 8 characters are in somehow, over insiders and the leak partially agreeing.

A fake leak gets 80% of the characters right anyway? Like damn lol it might as well be real.

 

[Luigi The President]

Okay, this is epic

 

[Fatmanonice]

Truly insane ending: Grinch leak is faked but every single character in it is in Smash

Truly insane Director's Cut ending: the Grinch leak was an actual collaboration between Universal/Illumination and Nintendo to ultimately promote Super Nintendo World and the Super Mario Bros movie.

 

[Potato_]

Hey, my sources are confident about Banjo and Mach Rider, but not Chorus Kids or Isaac. They also claim Shadow's still an AT.

Damn they aren't saying PSY huh Tougon? I'm sorry.

 

[Noipoi]

I know I'm not in but why not.

First reply!

Also, you're wrong

 

[mbvswb]

Over 500 people viewing this thread, wow

you must be new here

 

[Darkmoone1]

I just want the Grinch Leak to be real for the sake of every other person to feel what I felt when Castlevania was announced on the previous direct.

Pure. Bliss.

 

[Deleted member]

Damn they aren't saying PSY huh Tougon? I'm sorry.

Yeah, no word on PSY. There have apparently been talks with ANIPLEX and Disney though. The Disney character is NOT Sora.

 

[Syntherios]

Did someone say that Direct announcements are generally made around 9 AM Japan time? Because that's less than 10 minutes from now and I'm freaking out.

 

[Shawksta]

Gonna have to believe Papa geno
The only reason insiders can have to beings this upset and know for SURE incineroar is in has to be because he was old info they know is accurate.
Who knows, he could still be in at base or DLC, but the fact is, they are acting weird because they know the source.

 

[Runic_SSB]

Besides those, there's Parabo & Satebo (mascots for the Satellaview, Nintendo's Super Famicom add-on that predated the modern DLC format), Bubbles from Clu Clu Land and Foreman Spike from Wrecking Crew.

I forgot about spike, but bubbles was also considered for Melee.

 

[Nap_]

If the leak comes false better the faker show up, I truly wanna know who made it and how.

 

[MainJPW]

Every time I click on anything I get redirected, holy ****. I’m about to Seismic Toss this phone.

 

[HesIn]

Hey, my sources are confident about Banjo and Mach Rider, but not Chorus Kids or Isaac. They also claim Shadow's still an AT.

Look, as long as your source says that Redfoo and Sky Blu are in, our sources are in agreement. Party rock!

 

[Radical Bones]

500 people on this thread yet my posts are not receiving 500 likes. this is deeply distressing to me.

You just have to be a bit more...

Radical.



(plz like this everyone to prove my point thanks love you all)

 

[portalmasterJ11]

We're all gonna get hyped about November 1st only to be disapointed like all the other dates we've talked

Please let me be wrong

 

[theromfather]

Hi! Any news?

In about 10 minutes we'll see if this source on 4chan is accurate about his description of the Grinch leak being real and that a new Nintendo direct is gonna happen on the 1st of November.

OR

If he's really good at guessing the next smash blog post being Lucas.

OR

he's wrong about everything and uncertainty and chaos continues to bubble up across the internet

Keep up with your poster, and I'm patient I hope to see finished product.

 

[Dee Dude]

Truly insane ending: Grinch leak is faked but every single character in it is in Smash

So a style leak?

I’d love that to happen, but we’d go insane until we get the reveals.

 

[Gothitelle]

This is nothing but headcanon. Stop toting it around as if it was fact.

>Getting offended by it
heh

 

[CosmicQuark]

Hey, my sources are confident about Banjo and Mach Rider, but not Chorus Kids or Isaac. They also claim Shadow's still an AT.

I mean, do you want the internet to explode in pure joy and devastation simultaneously?!

Granted it's not you, it's your sources, but that hasn't stopped people yet from shooting the messenger.

 

[larlargaming]

a direct this week would be better. why?

so we can finally know everything and see if the leak is legit

 

[theromfather]

you must be new here

I am. Yes.

 

[JacobLeBeauOFFICIAL]

If the nexr direct (whenever it is) confirmed the leak, you think gamexplain would crack and talk about it?
