Good morning gamesters. For the first time this week, I actually had a good night's sleep.

As for the Grinch leak, I was on team real for the Grinch leak because it had Isaac and I really didn't want Incineroar.
...I think this is partially why I still can't fully come to terms with Incineroar being in the game to this day

Similarly, I think I had a hard time going with the flow in regards to how Smash fans have changed because I played through GS due to the belief that Isaac HAD to come. I got a new game to play, but at what cost?

I finished Golden Sun way after the fact. I enjoyed it and I want Isaac in Smash now more than ever, which is both a blessing and a curse.

I'm happy about the way this game's DLC ended, don't get me wrong, but... let's just say, if in like, 5 years they announced an Ultimate port with more characters, I'd definitely go back to campaigning for my top 3 semi-realistic most wanted.

All those grinch accounts that were made in the last hour. ****ting on Minecraft/Pokémon fans and ****posting and generally screwing up the thread. All nowhere to be seen after just a few days.

Wonder what they’re up to.
Probably being 4Channers as usual, all cuddled up in their anonymity while typing up all the offensive stuff they like spewing out

Found it:




"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."
Oh this one.

Yeah this is a classic epic smash gamer moment.

I used to love it as a kid. I think it was my favorite show. Then I kinda fell out of it for a while, a little after Poof came. Then I checked back with it and…

It wasn’t the same…
FOP did that one thing every show did to try and keep itself alive. Random baby? check. Lose like half the supporting cast? check. Talking dog? check. New kid outta nowhere? check.

4Kids is actually pretty decent when they make their own **** :yoshi:
It also helped that One of the OG creators was involved in the TMNT one. Though each version does some cool stuff here and there.

I still think it was a lucky guess
Maybe, but there’s to many coincidences for it TK be fake imo. The person gave a probably story that literally no other fake post has used. They didn’t just guess they told us why they were adamant in their post because they for sure it was real. Presentation used music not actually in smash, which confirms the story right there. He had to call Disney music for those rights in a presentation and not the game. It was also probably cheaper. The poster didn’t go out of their way to make up random bull**** to sound legit or look good if their fake actually happened. Which is exactly what a person with real sources would do. Example, Gematsu leak didn’t make **** up and only posted what they knew as fact, no opinion.

no one guess October, it was always September or December. It is also a stupid reason to say they based it off of Steve’s presentation date.No one would give any thought to that if guessing. The post was made right when Sakurai would have filmed it which is perfect timing for negotiations.

There’s just to many “but that could have been a lucky guesses” going on with that post.

If I gave someone a gun and a blindfold and said to go break the targets, and they hit every one of them; I’m not going to say they go lucky. There would absolutely be some level of knowledge of what they were aiming for there.

But that’s just my opinion, your of course entitled to yours, and I don’t think you have any intent on changing that.

The Sora “leak” wouldn’t be the first fake to have gotten something right.

There were also those “leaks” that weren’t even intended to be leaks, just predictions that were so accurate people mistook the people predicting them as leakers.

For all we know, the “leaker” could’ve believed in “13 Theory” which would be the funny coincidences mentioned on Sora’s SmashWiki page :013:

Heard that one with the Grinch leak.



Regardless, we'll never know if it was legit or not. It got its info right yes, but it's a random post on 4chan, by a no-name anon. They could be legit, or they could have guessed.

Again fair, but the grinch leak’s source was literally a Snapchat post.

At least with this, the info was out there, not blurred, didn’t go over the top like every fake leak, and provided a source that actually made sense.

Also given Sakurai personally commented on how many parties had to be involved, it says a lot.

By that same logic though, the Gematsu leak shouldn’t be considered real.

It was some literal who( who granted made multiple correct guesses), but because he was a journalist that made all the difference in people buying it, especially when it lined up with the games final outcome.

Which is exactly what the 4chan post came down to. Someone Who gave their job description like most real leaks, and was accurate in their info.

Yes it’s very tomato tomatoe, but at the end of the day, if something for any game is leaking, it’s usually from 4chan first, admist the cesspool of fake info.

And again though, we'll never know for certain. It's 4chan, which makes knowing an impossibility.

Or did said person simply look at u/Noastesty on Reddit and copy their info?



We'll never know. And frankly, I don't think anyone really cares one way or another.

Afaik, that theory didn’t even exist until literally Tuesday. I browsed a lot of online boards to see what nonsense rumors were coming up after Kazayu and after Sephiroth nobody thought any other Square Rep was coming in, let Alone Sora who they expected to be locked up in Mickey’s castle till KH 4.


The big guesses for the final character were Phoenix Wright or Chief/Doom Slayer. With many people expecting a pretty pitiful ending such as Cinderace, the SMT5 protag or other shill picks.

So to completely disregard all of that and be right is intriguing nonetheless, regardless of if the Sora leak was real. Still the fact that every media outlet covered this leak says a lot imo, even Youtubers who were all against Sora started going “Sora leaked!” Which was also an intriguing outcome.

In case anybody didn't see this yet...
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Koichi Sugiyama, the composer for Dragon Quest, passed away on the 30th of September. He may have composed the soundtrack for most of Japan's most beloved video game series, but there's a whole mess of copyright and humanitarian issues that you should look into for yourself. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.

Like I said in the other thread

Great composer
Trash human being


Hopefully, Dragon Quest's music rights fall into the hands of someone better.

I could be wrong, but didn’t people prove this time stamp came first? I know a lot of people, myself included only learned about the Reddit post from this 4chan one.

I hope it goes to Square tbh. Let them actually keep the music for the games they created. One wouldn’t be better without the other supporting them.

Even if the Sora leak was real, leaks were trapped in a Boy Who Cried Wolf situation.

There were so many fake ones out there it was incredibly hard to pick out which ones are real until you got to look back at them in hindsight.

It doesn't mean you should automatically treat everything as fake but it's always good to look at things with a hefty dose of skepticism.

Thinking back, while I did post in some other character threads, the only ones I was really active in were Banjo and Sora.

So next Smash, if you want someone in, just tag me into their support thread 😎.
