Prepare for 40 minutes of Sakurai pointing at an in-game picture of Minecraft Steve and laughing his ass off.

Not necesarily, there is ONE character in both Vergben and the Grinch Leak.
And it matching 2 characters of the grinch one it could still mean Luck, a miss means death, but until it does ALL the hits, it is still unconfirmed, even if it is the leak that I want.
The grinch leak can only die or survive to the end. Vergben's is the other way, it has to get to the end for it to be deconfirmed.
Anyways, I expect 2 characters, 2 echoes, spirit mode stuff and online mode stuff.
-
Here we goooo!
-
Sweet merciful fuck, at last.
Leak being real or not doesn't matter at this point, now I'm just hyped to finally see more.
-
I'm hoping that
! Isaac gets revealed, since it's been widely tossed around that he may have been planed to announce back in September, and then the earthquake happened.
-
Reading comprehension is hard: It is the final direct. Meaning the 1st everything will be revealed.
-
The Direct will just be live footage of the Nintendo Ninjas destroying the Grinch's house.
-
I envision a "circle of the black thorn culling" moment, where all of the leakers are dealt with, permanently.
-
This should be fun. Plus there's only about a month until the game comes out. I'm still debating whether or not to get a Switch or just be a leech for the time being.
-
YEEEESSSSS! This is gonna be awesome.
40 minute direct? FINAL one before launch? We're getting a bunch then.
We're probably getting a full reveal of whatever that single player mode is, the one people think might be called "Spirits". I'm also thinking most, if not all of the rest of the new characters will be revealed. Time for that leak to be put to the test.
C'moooooooooooon Bowsette confirmation! :D
Ok, not really but it'd be fun… -
A 40 min final smash direct? They must have something interesting. Looking forward to it.
I pray for Waluigi

More on The Grinch, free talk about the leak, tldw;
! It seems like Incineroar came from trusted sources, and Banjo/Kazoie got in by knocking the cat out, during E3 was that Sakurai finally managed to secure that deal. Aparently Sonic was made from the ground up in 3 months, and Sakurai, bless his soul, probably had a GDD for B&K ready.
! Many of the sources come from microsoft/rare side of stuff.
! Incineroar being one of the youngest characters, who probably was selected and worked like Greninja, was still in early stages and was transfered into the DLC characters, so both main leaks are true, Vergben always had only part of the picture, as he wasn't wrong, but wasn't through, and The Grinch showing the full initial roster.–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Then again, I'm just catching on during the final leg of the journey, some of his videos do look clickbaitey, so IDK.

Okay, can someone tell me what is going on with The Grinch and what he has to do with all this?

Grinch is the username of someone who supossedly leaked the entire roaster.
-
I have very low expectations regarding the amount of new characters. 2-4 would be my guess.
Regarding modes, I would really love to have an improved Smash Run mode massively playable online.
Also, I hope we get announcements regarding their DLC plans.
A season pass ? If so, my hope is that we know the content in advance (no ballot please!). Or at least announce or give obvious hints of the characters. Why ? Because I'd rather be disappointed now than hold hopes for months that my dream characters are in when they are not.

The big leak involves a printing company and the image posted included part of the next Grinch movie poster.

BTW, if you managed to get to today without getting spoiled, keep it up.
-
Ahh the direct is finally announced. 40 minutes is pretty long that's nearly doubles the last smash directs time (27 minutes I think).
Knowing my work schedule I will probably be working sadly.
-
Not that I won’t get hyped anyway, but I’m perfectly satisfied with the current roster, and don’t really care who gets in anymore. I just want a ton of single player content.

Alright, so one of the two, or both. Fine.
As long as people aren't seriously considering the idea that Grinch is going to be in Smash.

How The Grinch Leaked Smash Brothers

I'm hoping that Incineroar doesn't get in, then again, I won't get this game for another year, assuming Pokemon Gen 8 looks enticing like I hope.

It's the second one.
The leak primarily came from a guy who works at a company that makes displays and marquees snapchatting a pic of his desk and not realizing that what are presumably the plans for a Smash display product were on the desk was documentation about Smash that includes the alleged leak info
People call it the Grinch leak because since the company makes displays other than video games, a Grinch poster is visible in the shot.
-

I'm in the same boat. Every non-echo newcomer has gotten a trailer so I'll be pleasantly surprised to get more than 2.

His argument in this video, at least, seems well-reasoned to me. Honestly, it’s like I’m reading the Quibbler for my news when the Daily Prophet has become a propaganda rag. Source Gaming, GameXplain, Alex from NLife, folks I usually enjoy listening to all seem committed to glossing over this thing. It’d be better if they just refused to comment, but they actually want to somehow convince people this is nothing?
Is it good that a leak happened? No, it’s not. But count me part of Team Real, what’s done is done. And the fact these guys are now acting like Nintendo’s damage control just screams of corporate throttling of freedom of the press.
It’ll be easy enough to compare the portrait of whoever gets revealed to the blurry counterpart and know for sure. If Nintendo had just given the people something new to chew on before now, instead of 1½ months of basically radio silence, the pressure to find a leak might not have been as intense and quite as damaging. As it is, I don’t have much sympathy for Nintendo in how this played out, and I applaud the folks who aren’t afraid to give us their unbiased take on things.

I'm just grateful that tomorrow is a holiday here, as a direct at 3pm for me would be hard even for me to hide.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Mid week 6 to 5 update:
12 Characters left
Diddy Kong, Zelda, Yoshi
MetaKnight, Mewtwo, Lucas
Roy, Robin, Mr G&W
Olimar, Lil Mac, BayonettaWhen new characters are revealed, they are taken to top priority, and on Belmond/Echo/Krool day we got like 2 of them in one day, so it can fit comfortably with the small leak, and they would need to scrunch a little for the big one.
Also strange that today we didn't get any music, that makes me want to cry some bloddy tears.

Watching the direct without being spoiled. Hoooo boy, I'm excited!

Now every YouTuber except papa Geno goes "fake because my sources says so". Tomorrow will be interesting.

Every credible insider I've seen is doubting the leak.
And they're doing "damage control" because said people are also getting attacked for discrediting it. They want fans to keep their expectations in check and not go rabid on industry insiders, who have their reputation at stake. And they seem confident.
Plus, I would think someone called PapaGeno wouldn't be the most unbiased source for a "leak" that involves Geno.
-
Yeah, someone's gonna be proven extremely wrong. Open the floodgates Samurai.
-
The reason why they are claiming totally fake is depressing tho. One (or more) of the grinch leak are supposed to be assist trophies.
And watching the video with a more pesimist outlook, Papa Geno's source, even if reliable, only confirms ONE of the grinch leak, the rest of the video was just him going "makes sense".
-
We have five minutes or so left.
-
-
! bah gawd king, that's inceneroar's music!
-
Welp, the leak was fake. Now this got interesting.
-
That's it folks. No Geno.

-
The fact that Sakurai reiterated that the roster is finished is making me beleieve there's another one at the very end lol. If not I'm surprised there was only 1 newcomer. I was expecting at least 2.
-
This Spirits thing seems…Too much unnecessary features that had too much work to put in.
-
Good god we're gonna need to go frame-by-frame here to see everyone.
I saw Gekkos, Solidus, and Major Ocelot.
-
Reggie is a Bayonetta Main…Okay.

The broken hearts of the Assist Trophies.

At least Shadow isn't playable.
