Smash Ultimate Leak Discussion Thread

[TyrantLizardKing]

No Bandana Dee? But Elma, Isaac AND Black Shadow is The Dream(TM)

It’s hanging by a Saki Amamiya-shaped thread tho and if Saki’s an AT again this one goes down the drain

Also was this after the Ken leak or

Dear lord ever since I read this one the other day I've been dreaming about how epic it would be as a reality, especially that Shadow reveal. Sadly it is wayyy too ambitious and fanfictiony to be realistic, which breaks my heart cause everyone I want pre-DLC is on there and then some.

 

[Paperchampion23]

If that leak is legit... I'd be super dissapointed
Seriously? Claus as a unique fighter over more deserving characters?

Porky would be a better pick, we need mooooooore villains!

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

That misspelling of Claus tho lul

If anything he’d probably just be called Masked Man if pic related is an indication

yeah, despite the fact that Lucas's Masked man Alt is confirmed to be returning

Alright everyone, discard this "leak"

Spoiler: Mother 3 Spoilers

Masked Man would NOT be called Claus, that would be an obvious spoiler of one of the biggest plot points of the game.

Well to quote The Joker from The Dark Knight on this new thread page

"And here we go......"

You haven't played Brawl, have you?

 

[Omega Tyrant]

They only took it down once video leaked though. They didn't do anything about the images from what I can remember.

Yeah trying to take down images is unfeasible, they spread very quickly, can be downloaded easily, and can be reuploaded everywhere easily. Leaked videos are a bit more difficult to spread, with there being fewer sites you can upload them to and it requiring some technical knowhow beyond just right clicking to download them to upload them elsewhere, so I would expect them to do nothing and not publicly acknowledge leaked images in any way, while taking action on videos uploaded to mainstream sites.

 

[Arymle Roseanne]

Him and Ken are the only characters Verge has doubled down on, he's the leaker with the best track record currently and now Ken got leaked.

It feels like the writing is on the wall here, certainly more than Steve, Geno, Sora and whatever possible echoes.

Hmm wonder how echoes are being harder to get info of despite just being redskins for the most part.

Smash doesn't care about spoilers, stuff like Lucina being Chrom's daughter and Mecha Fiora are shoved into your face without a second thought.

 

[Chrono.]

Is it really a mispelling? I always thought the name was meant to be an anagram of Lucas, which is spelled with a C.

 

[Nekoo]

Just a hunch but from the way that basically no echo go leaked, (beside Ken but he's a third party) I'm thinking that maybe there is a tiny team made just for them-

Spoiler: Mother 3 Spoilers

*Looks at Zelda transforming into Shiek, looks at Lucina calling Chrom father, looks at Mother 3 being a decade old game*

Yeah I don't think Sakurai cares. Personally, even though I don't see it happening, I'd want him to be named Claus. Masked Man is really a lame name and I can't see it being like "Masked Man Wins!" :/

Is it really a mispelling? I always thought the name was meant to be an anagram of Lucas, which is spelled with a C.

You're right but it's spelt with a K in the leak. So yea very wrong unless it was spelt like that in another language.

 

[vaanrose]

I'm honestly surprised Ken hasn't been pulled from all around the net. It's very obviously real?

You can't stop the signal.

 

[FalconFire93]

I'm honestly surprised Ken hasn't been pulled from all around the net. It's very obviously real?

If Nintendo took it down, it would confirm that Ken is a character in the game and everyone would know which would be a dead giveaway.

Even though, we pretty much know he’s in already anyway, so...

 

[Weeman]

Has the Ken leak been debunked or shown any signs of being fake?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Has the Ken leak been debunked or shown any signs of being fake?

Nope, it's still very much alive...
Might as well assume it's real at this point...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

yeah, despite the fact that Lucas's Masked man Alt is confirmed to be returning

Alright everyone, discard this "leak"

He's wearing the face of his dead mutilated brother on his shirt

 

[Noipoi]

Don't mind me, i'm just sitting here waiting for an Incineroar leak...

 

[Chrono.]

He's wearing the face of his dead mutilated brother on his shirt

Like if you cried.

But forreal that always seemed kinda messed up to me.

 

[Paperchampion23]

I do think that some form of this "rumor" could be a reality in the future. Same with many other rumors posted on the internet

Nearly all of them are in fact highly requested characters from the fan base (though how they faired on the ballot idk).
Basically any staple "leak" is going to mention any of these characters:

Mario- Paper Mario
SMRPG- Geno
Other SE Reps- Sora, Chrono, Erdrick, etc(there's a lot)
Golden Sun- Isaac (Felix)
B+K- Banjo
Mother- Porky/Claus
KI- Hades (Medusa)
Xenoblade- Reyn/Elma/Rex+Pyra (Malos)
Rhythm Heaven- K. Joe/Chorus Kids/etc
Rayman- Rayman
Pokemon- Incineroar
Yoshi- Kamek/Baby Bowser
Zelda- Skull Kid/(Hilda)/(Impa)
SF- Ken
Sonic- Shadow/Tails/Eggman
F Zero- (Black Shadow)
FE- Hector/Eraphim/Celica/Edelgard/(Black Knight)
DK- Dixie/Funky
Capcom Reps- Dante/Monster Hunter/Phoenix W.
Bamco Reps- Heihachi/Lloyd/Nightmare/Yoshimitsu
Kirby- Bandana Dee/Magalor
Activision Reps- Crash/Spyro
ARMS- Spring Man/Ribbon Girl

Ultimate, by the end of DLC, WILL have a combination of these characters in some form of another. Unless Sakurai plans on only adding extreme left field characters or surprises (which are wholeheartedly welcome), the above are mainly what people know or possibly expect imo.

 

[Starbound]

Claus is the Mother character we need if we get another one.

He's got spells and flight which sets him apart from pretty much everyone aside from MK.

Eh, I think spider mech porky would be better

Probably nothing substantial. If it was, somebody would have mentioned it by now.

Hey, some of those leakers got pretty good tastes...

It’s saying Vergeben himself replied to the topic tho

I wonder what he said

I'd be super happy with him or Porky tbh, just more than our staple PK users.

He said that it was someone posing as him on 4chan and that he reiterated he only uses Reddit, GameFAQs and 8WayRun.

Prolly something like, "this isn't me, this is fake" and then the thread was deleted

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Masked Man/Claus would be a pretty cool addition actually.

He has PSI, a Sword that emits electricity, a gun, and wings for flight.

His normals can be sword/gun based while his aerials can be PSI/gun except bair in which he will flap his wings back like Corrin.

To make things more interest, when the smash attack is fully charged, it can emit lighting to stun characters.

His final smash would be PK Love.

I love Mother 3 and Masked Man would be a dream. He have SO MUCH POTENTIAL with his PSI/Gun/Sword/Wings.... But then again it will be unlikely.
Also, his design looks awesome. He look so bad*** and cute that I want to hug him..

DON'T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THIS

I just want a credible leaker to say Tails is in Smash Ultimate, then I'll feel happy until proven wrong or right.

I WOULD NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN!!!!

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Seeing all this talk of Mother 3 is reminding me how Flint was a seemingly popular pick for a Mother series rep in the Brawl era.

Having Flint playable would be cool 'out of left field' addition to the game.

 

[Chrono.]

I just want a credible leaker to say Tails is in Smash Ultimate, then I'll feel happy until proven wrong or right.

You and me both.

But I wouldn't really stress over leakers mentioning him or not.

 

[PK-remling Fire]

Even though I'd prefer Porky, I'd be pretty hyped for Masked Man. Too bad that leak is probably fake

 

[alemerltoucanet]

Same. It'd be cool if something came out though.

 

[Deoxys911]

The scary thing about the Ken leak for people like us who keep up with and scrutinize such stuff? It's teaching fake leak creators exactly what they need to do in order to fool us in the future.

"I'll carefully observe one of the new stages' quirks, study what the screen looks like in debug mode, make note of how many polygons are being used in the new game's character models, and use outdated character portraits from the game's initial reveal. With this I will be able to create the most convincing fake leak ever!" - Fake leaker when next game is a few months out from release
