The sliding is because of his wheelchair! Of course!
People were saying that long before the Grinch leak lol
I do wanna note the only leak of Cloud was a subtle hint immediately before the Direct by ONE poster
Funny you say that. As a member of team real, I very distinctly recall the choice to ignore what every single legitimate and credible leaker was saying at the time in favor of our own personal belief on the situation. Which feels much more familiar right now.
We know speed can be changed (Piranha Plant) and Chibi Erdrick (arguably the most iconic design) would be roughly that size. Even the data miners don't know if that includes idle animations and such.
It haunts my soul to this day.
Would he though?
Every time you respond to my posts, your argument is just that I'm repeating the Grinch leak. Did you miss my post that I was #teamfake? Did you also miss when I explained that slime would actually be much worse than Erdrick to me? Like seriously. Dismissing my points as "Same as Grinch leak" is both obnoxious and non constructive.
Bear in mind that this isn't including idle animations etc.
Oh man I thought it was Erdrick with like 3 different non-matching bright colors
Don't fat shame Slime. He's just put on a lot of weight because he was under stress and pressure because everyone is talking about Erdrick and he started binge eating, then it got worse when his pal Jack Frost was over looked for Joker.
I think either completely accepting it or dismissing it can be troublesome. Best thing atm is wait and see.
Finally...a character I can relate to...
Don't hate on how fab Snes Erdrick is. You can't just understand his style
The difference was that it was dismissing insiders for an unofficial picture that portrays a better roster. I'm dismissing insiders for actual in game data that portrays a worse roster.
It's not 4D chess or something. Square has literally said they do it. And again, the codename is not meant to be a hint. The whole point is to not say who the character is.
It still shows that insiders had some sort of knowledge about him. Mewtwo and Lucas had nothing and neither did Corrin and Bayo. (Roy and Ryu leaks might have been stopped due to the datamine though).
Everything's been pointing to Erdrick but all you can say is "what if it's leakbait?".
Infinite IQ Brain: smol crono>Normie brain: AH THE SIZE MEAN IT'S GENO!
>Intellectual brain: It's still Erdrick no matter what
>600 IQ: It's KH1 Sora
Care to explain, seriously I have no idea what you are talking about.
In-game data that's already been shown to change. Additionally, acting like you know exactly how an all-new character would be portrayed and how they would play in Smash. And lastly, 'worse' roster? Sounds subjective to me.
If this is leakbait, then props to Square for being so efficient with it. Impressive how they managed to fool pretty much every reliable leaker and convince them that it’s Erdrick while also making a list of characters just to spread doubt as to who it is before tricking people into thinking it’s Erdrick as a way to dismiss doubt. Very impressive show all around.
Slime in Mario Sports Mix is pretty large.

It was said before, the size stat does not actually line up with the character’s size.
Oh I see, thanks for the explanation.
I'm done arguing with you. You keep saying the same thing, and not even making a real argument.
Worse is absolutely subjective. I'm trying to say that I have no incentive to believe it's slime over Erdrick, because I'd like Erdrick better. What's this about in game stats changing? I wasn't aware of this.
It doesn't mean they made the whole list. It just means they used Erdrick as leakbait. And considering the situation you just described is the entire point of leakbait, that just means it worked. Again Square already admitted they do it.
I'm actually on Team
Okay but why Erdrick? Why out of all characters on the list would you use Erdrick as leakbait, when he’s pretty unknown in the west which is where most leaks happen?
Does it really matter why they chose Erdrick? IMO this is semantics. And with how info spreads around, it wouldn't be that hard to do. Have bad info from just a couple credible people and soon everyone has it. The leaks all originate from the same company. It's not that hard to spread a rumor.
Square is immune to text leaks, Final Fantasy 14 is notable for having quite a few of its updates leaked by one guy. Yes Square spreads bad info, but inevitably whoever the real character is will get transferred down the drain-pipe to lower levels who leak what they’ve heard. The real character is still gonna be heard a lot by a lot of different people. With every leaker claiming they’ve heard Erdrick the most, it would make sense.
This is precisely what i said a few pages ago. The point of leakbait is to catch leakers within the team. There is NO reason to risk a real name within a list of fakes to catch leakers. Just use fake ones. SE is known for dealing well with this kind of stuff for a reason.
