For context yes, the Sora leak was a 4Chan text leak but it came from a guy that has apparently gotten Smash stuff right before. He said that as far as he's heard Sora JUST entered development. Which means that he's likely the 4th chracter in the pass if true.
Either way, it's not much but it's cool to speculate on nonetheless.
Oh boy, is it that time? Yep, it's that time again!
"But it came from a guy that has apparently gotten Smash stuff right before", that right there is the problem. Various insiders have been in the know of Smash (not contained just to Ultimate), but not to mention they also gotten a lot of stuff wrong. "Square rep will be revealed first", "January 2017 Switch Presentation's lineup is all wrong", Metroid Prime Trilogy reveal,
Katalina, what have you.
The reason I still bring up these moments is to keep expectations in check, remember what past history we've had, and still be on a ground level. It's not really anything to go off of just that alone, as the person for all we know could be Vergeben's second cousin. That's the problem with being mostly anonymous. We need them receipts, my boy. We need a full repertoire of what this guy has gotten right and what he's gotten wrong. And not to mention, this really just feels like piggybacking off of so many other regurgitated "leaks" that we have seen so many times before.
Gimme a image that's hard to break, gimme a video that's hard to call fake. After the August Direct and The Game Awards, we can't just go off willy-nilly time and time again. I know it's best for conversation, sure, but it's also best to temper expectations and not cause another blowout like what happened with the November Direct, that's really where I'm coming from when I critique these "leaks". To be clear, this isn't aimed at you, NSG, this is aimed towards the "leak" itself.
