Sad thing is, no matter the result of this "theory", you're gonna have believers saying they never believed it and non believers saying they always believed it if it turns out to be false or true respectively

Grinch leak is weird because there are a lot of people who are apparently perfectly okay with being deceived by it, but have a problem with the real roster for... well, being real.

Grinch leak is weird because there are a lot of people who are apparently perfectly okay with being deceived by it, but have a problem with the real roster for... well, being real.

I mean, it's kinda obvious why.

One had 7 fan demanded picks.

The other was a Direct with a clone, a character that was leaked ages ago, and a dlc joke character.

God I ****ing love Constantine. That Character is something else, He's just so cool and his morality is so interesting. He's a broken character, his psyche and the character as a whole is broken but I find his growth so interesting he goes from a Broken man with little knowledge of the Dark Arts to a bad*** Master of the dark arts and Demonologist.

I just find magic wielders/Dark arts users just so interesting which is why my favorite character in the MCU/Marvel Comics is Doctor Strange and on the DC side it's Constantine. Magic is just so cool and the Paranormal is also super cool, How can you go wrong with either of them?

I feel like these people are probably under the same category as the people that think Sakurai is the literal devil and that absolutely anyone under the sun could make a better game than him because anyone not Sakurai would definitely, assuredly add *insert obscure character here*

Tbf the Grinch leak had some (if not the rest) of the most requested characters ever.

While the other had an echo, a Pokemon that people were divided on and a plant.

 

[Zinith]

Yeah, I was firmly on the fence with the whole thing. Lots of it looked pretty convincing, but the lack of hard evidence in favor of it severely hurt it in the end and it's what had me assume the strong possibility that it was likely false at the end (which of course, ended up being the outcome). Too many Grinchers gambled hard and lost hard.

It was so pathetic that you can compile all commentary that was ever done by Grinchers who felt cheated by Sakurai and you can probably hear the cries of hundreds as they refuse to admit that they played themselves. Even Vegeta would wince at their pride being broken.


Fair point. I lurk /v/ from time to time so I'm used to seeing crummy **** like that. There was one such bait topic that pissed off a lot of users due to shock images in that one thread. Was it Grinch-related?

Probably, but I didn't want to risk seeing anything out of line because whatever image got deleted, it got a really bad press from the members. Gamefaqs had an option to disable forum images at the time, so I took the option and ran with it.


Funny thing is that I never saw the film in its entirety, but I'm familiar with the plot. Whether or not one idea is in character was irrelevant at the time. I just thought that both sides were being irrational about the situation. It really was just a war between a group of overconfident morons versus fun-hating elitists.

You should absolutely watch Civil War. The amazing thing is that the question of whether monitoring superhero activity is right or wrong isn't really answered (it lets you come to your own conclusion). It's more of a measurement of the character's motivations and personality and their actions going forward.

I nearly predicted the outcome of the Kencineroar trailer, right down to how it'd take place in the boxing ring, and how Ken and Incineroar would duke it out. It wasn't an exact 1:1 script, but it was still something. I got super-descriptive with it too. That's a post I won't be able to find as easily on gamefaqs.

Yeah, from what I heard about it, it had a strong "Hero of another story" vibe to it. Makes me grateful that I can finally see Endgame this Saturday after weeks of occupied seating.

...Which won't matter much here because I'm not a movie buff nor someone who's super-invested in the MCU to have a strong discussion about it :L

I think I should've worded it better. I'm not really talking about which had a better roster.

My point is how there are fans who doesn't have a problem with someone fooling them, but get angry when reality failed to deliver said fake. It feels like a harmful mindset to be in, like how fans support some "leaks" only because it has a character they like.

It's because they look at it and imagine what 'could have' been.

Constantine is interesting because he's a conman before a sorcerer. He's not even a good magician originally. Most of his accomplishments come from knowing how to say the correct things on correct time, including bluffing his way out of hell.

His new versions made him a more straightforward spell caster, which kinda goes against what made him interesting in the first place, imo but he's still a compelling character.

Which Hellblazer comics have you read?

This whole situation is eerily similar to Grinch leak era: Speculation is halted by seemingly confirmation of some less than popular characters and suddenly a leak that includes some big fan favorites with weirder picks.

In all fairness, Kencineroar wasn't even the worst part of the November Direct. I actually quite like Incineroar's portrayal in this game. Do I have preferences? Sure, and none of them are from the Grinch roster either mind you, and there is a reason Incineroar is actually one of my favorite starters because it's got a ton of personality to it. The actual "offense" was the extensive padding with World of Light and Spirits.

The whole direct was just inferior overall, and the ill-timed Assist Trophy massacre disconfirmations stung a lot of people. Even the Rex Mii costume thing left a hole in my heart... All of it felt like Bad Box-art Mega Man and Nu-Pac-Man in Street Fighter x Tekken all over again, all of which happened during the zeitgeist of Mega Man's Mega-neglect years.

This whole situation is eerily similar to Grinch leak era: Speculation is halted by seemingly confirmation of some less than popular characters and suddenly a leak that includes some big fan favorites with weirder picks.

At the time, I was trying to formulate a scenario that would make Incineroar a tolerable character to his detractors, right down to the last potential trailer being a nod to him and Ken based on their shared background in martial-arts.

I guess it's both a blessing and a curse that pretty much none of my most wanted have been featured in any prominent leaks throughout all of Ultimate.

And thankfully, the one that was got revealed at E3 anyway.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I mean... 90% of the ****posting ultimately comes down to:
-Creepy Steve images
-Thanos/Avengers memes
-Some anime/"lewd" meme
-The occasional Erdrick/Goku meme
-The occasional Banjo meme

That's pretty much it.

Don't forget...her.

I think we all know who.

Man I still remember how every fake leak for Smash 4 talked about Ridley, only for him to appear in the game as a stage boss. I feel so much better now that Ridley is in, he's a character who honestly should've been playable before Ultimate, but at least he's finally here.

You know what? It's funny you mentioned this, because the Grinch Leak's beginnings had some people mistake the clouds above for KOS-MOS. My admiration toward the character is a no-brainer at this point, but even I was skeptical about the whole ordeal. Once you're old and jaded, you don't take things at face value anymore until you can physically interact with it just to prove it exists.

Though hearing people mistake the front of Mach Rider's motorcycle for Skull Kid's mask was hilarious while it lasted.

Tbh, E3 was a bit of a roller coaster for me. My most wanted was the only unique newcomer confirmed at the event, while my 2nd most wanted character was relegated to an AT for the 3rd time in a row.

So yeah, even during the one event that actually went my way... I still didn't walk away 100% happy.

But I got my main out of it, so I guess I can't complain.

There are so many girls that have become memes on this thread that I could honestly confuse who you're referring to.

But considering like... half the people here have posted every pic of her that exists on the Internet, it's kinda hard to forget.

The small yellow rodent stared at the computer with a particularly weary glare. There were tales to be written, there was self-worth to be gained. But like a sedated Thwomp writer's block sat before him, blocking all progress. He sighed, as all moderately inconvenienced people do. He needed to make something to preserve his legacy unto the world. But what? And how? Perhaps another episode of Terrible Writing Advice would help stir the creative juices. Or perhaps he needed actual juice. Orange juice. Yeah, maybe a two minute detour to pour a glass and take it back to the computer wouldn't hurt.

He sighed again. But that would mean getting up.

Have you been to r/socialskills?

It could maybe help you.

I'll give it a look but knowing how to do something on paper is different then being able to do it in practice.

My brain just goes into emergency defense mode whenever someone tries to talk to me in real life and I lock down, and I'm not even able to muster up the confidence to start a conversation with someone in real life.
