The extra costumes thing does make some sense now that you mention it. Remember how people raised an eyebrow to the fact that Meta Ridley was shown off in Ridley's trailer (presumably as an alt) and yet said costume wasn't anywhere in the demo? Interesting stuff.
Yeah exactly what I mean, everything in this Leak makes complete sense (More accessible Smash Run, scaled-down story mode, more alts which would certainly explain the absence of alts from the demo, bigger focus on the original 8 tying into Sakurai’s comments on the starting roster), honestly this all holds up rather well for a 4Chan text leak, color me surprised.

So I looked on this Discord and none of what’s in this leak actually seems at all far-fetched.

http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/426237990/smash-bros-ultimate-leak

For those who don’t know someone pointed out that all of the costumes may have not been shown off, since Little Mac used to have 16 costumes and is now down to 8.

I wouldn’t get our hopes up JUST yet, but I wanted to bring this to attention.
This is a rather benign leak, all things considered. We also know that not all costumes were shown since Meta Ridley is still MIA. If true, this leaks is on the same level as the battle Field leak pre-E3.

I'm always afraid of getting a virus if I touch a 4Chan link. I assume that the leak has good news about Ashley's chances in Smash Ultimate?

I love the Subspace Emissary, but I'd be completely fine with a ''Great Maze'' styled mode. Anything that can fit into the adventure mode style.
I wanna fight Waddle Dees with Ridley!! and Ashley if she's in

Of all the text based leaks I want to be real this is probably it.
It confirms my most wanted character without deconfirming any others, it seems grounded in reality.
It's got some things i'd actually love to see and it explains some oddities (Meta Ridley, Little Mac's alts).
I kinda love this leak.

Very good news, and other things that don’t sound far fetched at all.

That's good to hear, but since it is a 4Chan link, color me very skeptical.

Really hope it's true, though based on what others are saying.
Yeah, unlike most 4Chan text leaks this one actually seems... Really grounded in reality, giving some very logical information, not piggybacking off of other leaks, and addressing several oddities we’ve seen, so there does seem to be a little weight to it.

I wouldn’t jump to anything just yet but this doesn’t seem too out of the blue at all.

Basic summary.

Ashley will be revealed next.
New adventure mode like the great maze, you steadily fight bosses and recruit new characters.
Every character has 8 alts and 8 more unlockable alts (Like Meta Ridley).
Smash Run returns, but characters interact with eachother now.

I'd love to believe it, but I won't unless we get some solid evidence.

I really want that to be true. It has one of the characters I want and a new adventure mode.

Not trying to get my hopes up, though, but it does seem to be more one of the more credible text leaks.

Hopefully we see our Witch Playable this Friday.

Note: My Nintendo Rewards will not let me download the code more than 6 times.....so I am out of free themes to give out. Sorry guys.

Nearly 100 pages already. Care to bet we can make it there before Friday?

I got a good feeling about this month, if not the next couple weeks. Things seem to be aligning really well right now.

No I'm not just posting this in hopes it'll make the hundredth page. (I totally am)

Oh shoot that’s right, tomorrow is the last update of the week, so I guess we’ll know what this means for Ashley tomorrow!

A new-and-improved Smash Run would be the perfect place to implement that City Trial remix they posted several weeks back, considering smash run was based on City Trial in the first place... *thinking face*

Honestly even the Ashley bias aside, a lot about that leak just screams "This makes way too much sense"

Yeah, no other blog post after noted the actual "series" among its title, have they? Kind of strange(now that I get what you meant. I saw the WW symbol in general).

Though again, that could be just a quick way to promote WarioWare Gold. I'm not putting much stock into it, but I can't deny the idea it could mean something.

I feel like these next few days will be the make it or break it deal for Ashley. I'm so nervous but I'm still holding hope for Ashley making it in.

You know, if Ashley does eventually become something like a shoot em up, I see much comparison between Ashley and Marisa Kirisame, because reasons. And if that has already been happening, then it will happen more.

Something to keep in mind is that the specific game shown isn't just a WarioWare game, it's literally WarioWare Gold. This is so blatantly obvious that they're trying to promote the game more than anything else. That's why I don't feel it's worth reading into(the tag on the other hand, that might be something).

Best case scenario, Kat and Ana get confirmed as Assists on Friday with no mention of Ashley (as that would mean they conscientiously decided to promote WarioWare Gold but decided not to use the second most popular character from that series).

Still good scenario, Ashley doesn't get de-confirmed Friday and it's some other post. I think that would effectively raise her chances since it means Nintendo opted not to use her to promote the game.

Worst case scenario, of course, being she gets confirmed as an Assist and the hype ends. =P

Has there ever been a case of a side character growing out of their home series in Nintendo history?

If she's not confirmed or deconfirmed this week she's still got a shot.
A Halloween reveal could be cool.

I hope that happens. One thing I actually would prefer to happen over that (as far fetched as it is), is if they show someone like Jimmy T/Mona/9-Volt or someone else who hasn't been an assist trophy before as the new WarioWare assist trophy. That way we can get the mindset that hopefully one of those took Ashley's spot as the assist trophy (along with Kat and Ana) and Ashley gets the promotion she deserves.

Just so people can keep expectations/fears in check, they could easily just show off something completely unrelated tomorrow like the Togedemaru Poke Ball summon. This might be the only bit of Gold advertising they'll do but let's wait and see.

I guess Wario himself would count, wouldn't he? Kind of poetic in a way.
That is true. And if Ashley does branch out, I have little doubt that she will start to appear in the Mario Spin off's. Strange how things go.

Yoshi, Wario, and to a certain extent Donkey Kong.
You could argue Mario grew out of Donkey Kong, not the other way around. It's always kinda strange to think about it like that, and it kinda makes the fact that DK only has two characters a little more bothersome.
