New track!
Release Divine Bloodlines already!

This leak has been gaining a lot of momentum and for good reason
The fact that is a super .. fuzzy? Blurry? On one hand is super fakeable, on the other it still a lot of work.
If this is it, then I am OK, but I'd like some DLC of THAT franchise.
! Chorus Kids? BANJO?! GENO?!!??!!?
Be still my beating heart.
All I need is Dixie Kong DLC and I'm set.
! Also, calling it, Noqanky is gonna be super happy about the Chorus Kids.
Full leak talk, do not look.
! Ken and Shadow. Ok whatevs. Last two echoes, I doubt anyone else could be one.
! Chorus Kids: good for them and their fans, you deserve it
! Frigging Geno and Banjo: Amazing!
! Mach Ridder: The wtf one! Yas!
! Isaac: <3
! Lack of Pokemon and Fire Emblem: First two candidates for DLC.

The thing is that it is too perfect.
it's TOO good to be true. I do not believe until Sakurai says one way or the other.
!
A persons name was found in the leak (was mean't to be blocked out) and his name was looked up and he works at the company in the image above which has ties with Bamco)
Collage of interesting things to think about
Do I need to stay out of Twitter?
Do I need to stay out of Twitter?
For a little bit maybe yeah. People will probably be talking about it a lot today especially.
That Mockup of the "full roster" makes me want to force Dark Samus to be a full character to not ruin the "12 original" vibe the character selection screen would have.
Other than that, that one poor sap who did this leak will get smithen by Sakurai.

That's probably why Sakurai put in that different CSS option where the Echoes are mapped to the same selection as the characters instead of having their own slots.
Yeah yeah, but she is still there, bidding, waiting for her turn to take Samus place…
Oh shit
! Grinch confirmed!
Oh shit
! Grinch confirmed!
Title of the movie is actually "How the Grinch Leaked Smashmas"
! I just realized that not counting the 2 3rd party Echoes, these last 5 characters each represent an Era at Nintendo.
Mach Rider - NES
Geno - SNES
Banjo - N64
Isaac - GBA/GC
Rythm Heaven - DS/Wii
My setup for Ultimate in portable mode

Well, that is some leak. My thoughts for if it’s true:
! Geno was always a clear choice to me. Fully expecting a Mallow AT and accompanying screenshot with the whole SMRPG gang.
! Isaac is also one that made a lot of sense. No Smash character uses earth powers to his extent, and I imagine the Djinn will be a part of his moveset in some way. Too bad there seems to be no Felix echo.
! Mach Rider, I really hoped to see someday, but my enthusiasm was tempered by Sakurai’s tepid dismissal of the idea. I hope his Melee trophy colors are an option, it looked a lot better to me than the super bright NES/Arcade palette.
! Chorus Kids were hinted at in S4, and hopefully there will be an element of rhythm in their attack style. Maybe their specials will incorporate some of the other characters.
! And I thought Geno would make a perfect grand finale, but that honor could just as easily go to B&K. It’s really amazing that the quintessential N64 platforming stars would finally make it from Microsoft’s side. Crossing my fingers for a Mumbo AT.
! Ken and Shadow as Echoes were pretty much expected, but I was hoping for a few more.
Too good to be true + what would be the point of Sakurai's multiple warnings if we still have as many characters to be revealed before launch ?
Only chance it could happen IMO is if that leak includes some DLC characters.

First of all Sakurai said in an interview that all characters will be set/revealed at the release (compared to what they did in Smash 4 with bayo e.g.).
Second, it seems most people miss the point that this leak is not a box art but a snapchat pic of a wristband art (hence the blurriness)
! That's a lot of newcomers, so I'm extremely skeptical. Normally there are 2 or 3 newcomers per Direct and I only expect 1 more Direct before the game comes out.
I think that 2 is possible, one in November, more geared to the first quarter of 2019 and the second extravaganza.
That's what hurts it, overall it's a LOT of newcomers, meaning either Sakurai was misleading us on purpose or he was being humble.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I wouldn't doubt it based on numbers. I mean, not counting echoes, that would make 10 new characters, which is the least any of the games would have added. With the echoes, it would still be less than Brawl and 4. Plus, Sakurai said don't expect too many new characters, not that there wouldn't be too many new characters, so he coulda been fucking with us.
I think there hasn't been a whole lot substantial against the leak. Most of what I've seen besides the whole E3 banner thing (which was proven wrong) has been various gut feelings, which add up to nothing. The recent substantial thing is that the dude who supposedly leaked it wasn't working at the company people thought he was, but it was then found that he works for another similar promotional company, which leaves us back where we started. I've even seen people making false information to try and "deconfirm" the leak, so that's the level of straw grasping we're at.
I don't want to get too invested in a leak - I feel like I am a bit since I like the content - but the apparent amount of work that would be required to fake this at the risk of the leaker's own job is astounding enough that it's easier to believe the leak is real for now. That doesn't mean it is, so temper expectations accordingly, but either way this is a pretty incredible leak story.
I bet half that leak is true, but either way more characters are always welcome.
If they're all getting separate reveal trailers, I'm all for it. But normally there's 2 trailers at a time. One at the start and one at the end.
Geno and Shadow are extremely likely just because of popularity + mii costume for the former, and 3d model already available for the latter from previous games plus absence from assist footage so far (like what they did with Isabelle).
Besides them, i want to suspect the very last reveal will be the biggest one to push sales on release, and there are some valid reasons for it to be Joker/MC from Persona 5. Sakurai stated plenty of times how much he liked that game, plus Persona Q2 featuring him is also coming out november 29th and it appeals incredibly well to both east and west fanbases. It could obviously be wrong but it would also mean extremely easy sales and merch for how popular the guy is.
If this leak is the final roster, I'm down. I just hope that there is DLC beyond this leak, because I am still thirsty for more.
[hide]I'm still leaning on a prayer over the fact that Tails and Knuckles were Mii Costumes and Knuckles is now an assist trophy. Maybe… Just maybe...[/hide]
I think the leak is too good to be true, so I am going to lower my expectations and take it as false for the time being.

If they put a SMT character in, I would imagine it to be Jack Frost. He's sort of the mascor of the whole franchise.
I want this leak to be the real deal.
Ok, talking about the nature of the leak but not it's content. This is mostly to sum up what I know about it.
! Some dude using snapchat (for old folks like me, that is an app that lets you record and send videos, but get deleted after one or a few views, I didn't know that) supposedly recorded some art of the banner of the web page filled with the rest of the character selection. The art is super blurry but by colors and in one of them Pose, it is obvious who they are supposed to be.
There is a leak because one of the persons who managed to see the video took a screencap.
! There are circumstancial evidence that leads credibility to the leak but is a give and take.
! There is a poster for the grinch movie of this year that no one has placed.
There is the name of the person who leaked the thing, and was tracked to one promotional company linked to Bandai Namco
That company claimed that the person itself its not working with them
The company that he's currently working is still used by videogame companies
! So, tracking the person lead to mostly nothing, as in they have the potential of being in the know, or to be the target of a cruel joke. And if nintendo has this person name, and know about the company, their whole legal team will go after them shortly after the end of the reveal season.
! That we don't have the original video is just annoying, as it leads both to the credibility of it, and it makes it impossible to know.
! In the end I don't know.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The plot thickens: we started with two people, the one with the name in picture that we took for the video taker and the video reciver who broadcasted it, but it seems like either the recorder is claiming to know nothing, or is being set up, after all it was just his name there. Sending the whole might of Nintendo laywers against an enemy or just that asshole of the office that gave you a nickname once would be a dastarly attack.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
So, do you guys remember when Ness, Jiggs and Wolf got leaked by the sticker use on a brawl trailer?
And when Ganondorf was leaked for 4 when he was just outside the screen with the magnyfing glass there?
Well, this new one isn't so clear as those:
! tldr; there is a little green ball in a split second of a match.
!
sec:26
! And when zoomed in, it has two leaves
!
! I was going to be cute and put just the leaves icon and leave it at that, but I don't want to use paint now:
! Anyways, the tour bus thing isn't going to be secret, so we might learn more stuff.
And also it is not the E3 build as it contains Yoshi and Wario, who weren't in that one.
! Image way too big: https://www.smashbros.com/data/bs/ja_JP/img/RAGE_A4_ura_180412.jpg
! tldr2; It might be another thing, it might be growth psynergy but that's it Lip's stick has been in the game for 18 years and she isn't. But what it seems is to be a small plant in a clear bubble.

Here's a very clear image of it
! Growth psynergy as an …item? That just seems a little bizarre to me.
! There is a seemingly more likely explanation that it is Pokemon's Leech Seed, but when I think about it, that doesn't really make any more sense as an item (it is an attack, not an item, much like Growth is an ability, not an item). So at this point, I want to say it is a real possibility of being one or the other.
! If it is a Golden Sun item and we are really getting Isaac. Oh my gosh. I will cry.
There's something else that everyone seems to be overlooking.
! Microsoft said they were willing to work with Nintendo to publish Rare Replay for the Wii U, and Banjo being in Smash would heavily imply that something similar is in the works for Switch.
This is getting too good. Fake or real, I'm hyped as all hell.
For the record, I'm team real on this. The timeline feels right, the circumstances make sense, and it's so fucking crazy it might just work.
Seeing certain nintendo afiliated youtubes jumping thru hoops to try to convince their audience that this is fake is really funny to me.
I'm going to ignore the grinch leak, real or not, we'll only know for sure after a long while.
The wendy's tour accidental reveal tho. Aparently while some fotage was from a more complete build, (by characters and stages shown, plus the mysterious item), the demo booths only have the e3 build. (aparently). I'll try to keep an eye out for those.

6 week mark:
14 Characters left
Rosalina, Diddy Kong, Zelda,
ZSSamus, Yoshi, MetaKnight
Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy
Robin, Mr G&W, Olimar
Lil Mac, Bayonetta
[hide][/hide]
There is another posibility of the green orb thingie. What is also green and mysterious??? Mr L! Oh, and the spirit mode.
Goddamn it I WANT it to be true, but I'm scared of investing too much hype into it if it's fake.
It's slightly different from the Smash 4 days, where the leaked last picks were outthere. Here for Ultimate the theme is bringing back/in as much fan favorites as possible, this is literally the best window. So all of the leaks I've seen have always had some combination of [insert ballot characters]
No Hank Hill? What's even the point.
Apparently there is an item in there, but…
Ranking the characters from most wanted to least wanted on the Vergben vs the grinch leaks:
! Vergben just contained Incineroar, Ken and "Minecraft Content" without actually commiting to steve, I'm counting him.
! Grinch leak contains: Ken and shadow as echoes, Isaac (golden Sun), Mach Raider, Banjo Kazooie, Geno and Chorus Kids
! Straight to my veins please:
Isaac: Give me a shulkilicious rpg flavored moveset
Mach Raider: I don't actually know him, but my second wish was "A Retro WTF Character" and I will be thankful for it.
! Not my picks but I'm glad for them:
Banjo Kazooie
Chorus Kids: I'm intrigued for what rythm based combat could mean to smash.
! Take them or leave them:
Geno: I know that everyone loves him but I feel it is more an obsesion to the community rather than an objective.
Incineroar: More variety on Pokemon types and styles.
! Keep em:
Ken: Akuma is a better Echo
Shadow: Just because you can doesn't mean you should
Steve
I wonder if Sakurai is going to do echoes or more third party for DLC.
I think more echoes would make sense as DLC. The echo format opens the door to it, they are easier to produce than unique fighters and it would be a lot more satisfying than getting mii skins.
Looks like we have a Smash Direct tomorrow. Guess we’ll see if the banner leak was real or not. Brace yourselves.
Halloween gone from the calendar Wagomu? :3
But yeah, fucking finally. Although…...whether the leak is real, or whether is the leak is fake, there's gonna be chaos.
Sakurai take my energy.
Shit, it's like time was just erased from my existence…
King Crimson confirmed?
The tweet is not 15 minutes old yet! I wanted to do the announcement. Vermillion Duke, erase time!
The Grinch leak lives or dies this Thursday.
