Tbh, I'm more worried over Amazon


Also, this leak still remains a mystery on who and the why
View attachment 333564

It was real, but Sakurai was angry that it leaked. So he scrapped the costumes, replaced Geno with Sephiroth and turned Doomguy into a costume.

 

[Shroob]

Ngl tho the fact that there's gonna be a Doom Slayer outfit with proportions close to Isabelle is gonna lead to some wholesome as **** images.

 

[Will]

I wish no one had cared about it.

It kept getting brought up for over a goddamn year

Dawg you misread the post. If I was talking about Cacamallow and not the actual Ken leak, why would I call it a real leak?

Oh, derp mb



I think everyone just accepted that one as real lol.

A) Because people got to re-create the exact same clipping

B) It's Ken, no **** he'd be in lol

I've never played Doom and I absolutely adore that meme. There's already some fanart of smol Doomguy out there, including him being praised by Samus (while characteristically caked in blood).

I remember some people actually tried calling it fake back in the day but it just got swept under the rug. I guess it just didn't grab the same attention the ESRB leaks did.

I think with ESRB, there was room to debate if it was legit or not, or else we wouldn't have le classic "Photoshopped Little Mac".


I think a wide majority of peeps just said "Ayup it's legit, next" in regards to Ken lol.

Somebody sent me this image with a cursed connection and now its my profile picture.

Damn, Sakurai and his team has to be the fastest programmers alive

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Well, the important thing is that after so much infighting, self entitlement, and basic reduction of IQ across the board, it's finally, officially, totally, spectacularly dead in the water. Here's hoping we never see another like it again.

I dunno bro no one ever recreated it so like…it could still be real but just cut content or something.

Like Monster Hunter before negotiations fell through and they made him Byleth, or Isaac before that Earthquake in Japan.

Homies who argued about Photoshopped Little Mac were the same fellas saying Grinch couldn't be faked because no one had done it before smh smh

It Seems Masahiro Sakurai Will Be Ending His Famitsu Columns Very Soon

"He's been writing them since 2003"

End of an era.

First Smash ends.

Then Sakurai's column.

Then the world.

Nah bro believe me I’m being serious Cacomallow could still be real.

It ain’t over until it’s recreated (which it has not—you can’t mod Mii costumes in Smash Ultimate anyways which means you can’t recreate it).

I got you:
Sakurai is introduced by flashing text. He is sitting in a chair, about to deliver roughly 40 minutes of Super Smash Bros news. “Hello everyone, I’m Masahiro Sakurai from Sora Limited. We’ve been hard at work on the new Super Smash Bros. Now, before we begin, there’s been a “leak” going around, this so-called Grinch leak. We hate to break it to you but that leak was fake. We made it alongside Illumination to promote the new Grinch movie, coming out November 9th. Speaking of which...a brand new fighter has joined the roster.” The Smash logo appears and fades to white. You quickly realize the white is supposed to be snow. A sleigh drives by, carried by an ox and a dog dressed as a reindeer. Inside the sleigh is the Grinch. The Grinch hops out, and sees the Ice Climbers atop a mountain. With a wicked grin on, the screen is paused and background changed. “The Grinch steals the battle”. It shows footage of him fighting some of the other characters for a few minutes, and the Super Smash Bros logo appears again. Back to Sakurai. “You heard it here first, the Grinch is the newest fighter in Super Smash Bros. Truth is, he was just a Waluigi clone until we cut Waluigi. And now about that mysterious mode we showed off in the last Direct...

Nono, not that one.


The one where it said that the person who made the Grinch leak would have to have been a literal genius who was more intelligent than the Saudi Arabian government for some reason.

"If this leak is fake, then the guy who made it has to be the craziest person in the world going out of their way to make incredibly boring cardboard cut-out models using promotional material from the upcoming Grinch movie because he's thinking 47 steps ahead and knows that both Bandai-Namco and Universal studios contract the same obscure French marketing company. To this end, he then got himself an office, printed out the name of an employee of said company, and haphazardly half blurred out the name because, once again, he's some kind of super genius beyond the mental capacities of mortal man and he knew that the internet's crack team of cybersleuths would find his red-herring name in seconds.

This absolute Einstein of social engineering also happens to moonlight as an expert artist and after presumably spending hours carefully cutting and pasting characters from the Smash poster, he then went out of his way to produce 7 more drawings of his own with obscure elements like vines for Isaac that hardly anyone would be able to make out, and then, for the fun of it, he saw to making a completely unique drawing of the blank version of Battlefield just because he could. He made sure that this fake roster of his perfectly mirrored one posted on 4chan last month by someone whose first language clearly isn't English because he knew that people would immediately make the connection to the French marketing company that he is pretending produced this image. The fact that 5 new characters lines up with the 5 missing stages from Corocoro was all part of his master plan. He also made sure this coincided with Nintendo renewing relevant trademarks.

The lengths you have to go to believe that this is all an incredibly elaborate leak would make this man one of the most intelligent people to ever walk the Earth. This guy would be more competent than the entire government of Saudi Arabia when it comes to fakery.

I suggest you think about which outcome is more likely."

Saudi Arabia can’t do any better than a blurry image leak that was mostly carried by a dozen lucky coincidences?

It was real, but Sakurai was angry that it leaked. So he scrapped the costumes, replaced Geno with Sephiroth and turned Doomguy into a costume.

the worst part Is I can actually see sakurai doing this over a leak

he swore off the whole animated story thing forever bc of 480p youtube vids
