So a lot of people here are really just going to keep claiming that this leak is undeniably real huh? I mean, I could at least understand seeing the flaws and then deciding real while saying, yeah there were issues. But you cannot deny the leak is questionable.
I’m going to whole sale use my post in the Geno thread to give my very honest take on this:
Pros:
-Appears to be an actually printed item
-The renders for the new characters haven’t been found
-Characters moved around to accommodate new characters without too much issue, including the reuniting of the Mii Fighters
-PapaGenos insider
-Effort involved? (I’m giving this one though I just think it’s kind of a fact)
Cons:
-Extremely blurry image
-Background does not consistently match up with previous material showing the blank Battlefield
-The company Eric Bricard supposedly works for has no known connection to Bandai Namco or the Grinch marketing. Only Ubisoft, which again, is a fellow French company
-The real Eric Bricard has been contacted and supposedly knows nothing of the situation
-The original company claims that Eric Bricard has not worked for them since 2016
-Spawnwave’s insider
-Sakurai said don’t expect too many newcomers
-Sakurai said they might have been trigger happy and were slowing down the pace of reveals
Super Conveninet Stuff:
-Stills from a Snapchat video. So the original video no longer exists
-A Chadendorf post from a month ago that can’t possibly be connected or disconnected due to anonymity
-Supposed people who saw the SnapChat, but no proof
-A supposed graphic designer can’t fully obscure his name, which leads to a breadcrumb trail
-NDAs can conveniently be used in most situations
There’s just way too much for this to be undeniable. I don’t even think there’s enough to believe it at this point, but I won’t call that out at much. This all feels like people wanting this to be real and not acknowledging the horrible inconsistencies and conveniences of the situation in their decision making...
Isaac has a good enough chance without this dumb leak anyway.
