Board 8 > Smash Ultimate (probably) Leaked

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm at work so look at the SSBU board for details. It involves Snapchat, a French artist, and - most importantly - the Grinch.

No, really.

Remaining characters are:

-Ken
-Shadow
-Mach Rider
-Chorus Kids w/ Conductor
-Banjo & Kazooie
-Isaac
-Geno

B&K would be godly but I'll believe it when I see it
---

No new pokemon almost makes me believe it.
---

Waluigi intensifies
---

Obviously I'm hoping for real because Isaac, but I'll believe it when I see his trailer.

Chorus Kids is also like, the biggest indicator that any leak is fake.
---

@ExThaNemesis bitch
---

I'm hesitant to believe any leak without a new Pokemon but this one's hard to discount.

I was thinking the same thing.

What is a Mach Rider? Is that what the Excite Bike guys are called? Shadows probably the only one of those Id be excited about

No Mach Rider is a separate game. And he has been on Sakurai's radar since Melee.

Hoping it's real because mach rider was one of my favorite NES games
---

Oh, that video makes the game look familiar. Im pretty sure I played that like oh man probably 24 years ago jeez

What is the credibility behind this leak by the way? Is it just some pleeb? Because we've seen idiots put in an insane amount of effort to get their 15 minutes of fame with a convincing fake before (remember the Rayman one from Smash 4?)

I'm hoping that a curveball is thrown and they upgrade an Assist Trophy to Playable Status via DLC.

It's just a hope, I highly doubt it'll happen.

Works (soon to be worked, lmao) as an artist for an advertising company in France
---

Well, sites have looked into it and the dude does legit work for some French marketing company or whatever that is confirmed to be working for Namco/for Smash or whatever.
---

I really wanted Incineroar ='( but Banjo is nice I guess
---

That board has a new "leak" like twice a day. This will probably get blown out like all the rest the next time Nintendo announces something.

I get that, but at the same time, Ridley and K. Rool.
---

Yeah, before it was "Ridley is also like, the biggest indicator that any leak is fake."

And then "K. Rool is also like, the biggest indicator that any leak is fake."
---

On one hand. Nothing I wanted, which makes me think it's real 100%

On the other hand, a ton of people would be incredibly happy with this, so at least everyone else can be excited!

On the third hand... Banjo, Isaac and Geno will bring fantastic music with them which is awesome.

how does Ermine not want the 90s Animal Duo of legend
---

I've come to the conclusion that Ermine just throws darts at a wall of names and whatever he hits are his favorites.

Skull Kid and Bandana Dee are my top 2 most wanted at the moment and they were both among the top 10 if not top 5 most requested characters for Ultimate. Does it just so happen that out of all the fan favorite characters to make it in Smash Ultimate, the ones that I specifically like are the ones that don't make it.

Yes, it is me we are talking about after all.

I'd argue a point for Pokemon as well, but at this point if the leak is real, at least we aren't getting Incineroar!
---

Everything considered, I'm leaning toward it being fake.

Super blurry leaks are always fake. It's science.

Banjo Kazooie is pretty cool, and I think Isaac is cool too!

But I just don't like them enough to main them.

Who the heck is bandana dee

Sorry if that sounded rude but I was just surprised a character I've never heard of is highly requested and I missed it!
---

Anyways, I'm not upset with this roster if it's real. It's got a TON of things for everyone basically.

I got Ridley.

It's just a shame that the two highly requested characters that I specifically wanted both didn't make it when basically all the others did.
---

basically Player 4, after the other 3 take Kirby/DDD/Meta

I was just making a joke about how random your favorites can end up seeming. Like there would theoretically be a pattern, but a lot of characters people expect you to like, you don't necessarily.

This was posted back in September

Oh he's a Waddle Dee with a bandana

That makes sense!
---

Also inb4 darkx rants about something I've said in this topic even though I've already said that Banjo and Isaac are pretty cool.
---

Are there any big third party companies with no one in Smash that could plausibly have someone get in?

They could just add Lycanroc and make us both happy!
---

The Smash board is really something right now.
---

I'd rather have Tapu Koko than Incineroar.
---

Tapu Cocoa would be cool yeah
---

Lycanroc would be a suitable substitute true

Koei?

Ryu Hayabusa would definitely be the one to go for, as much as I'd love Nobunaga or Zhao Yun lmao

... or Nobunyaga

I think the best part about his leak (at least for me) is that it's called the Grinch Leak because of the Grinch images that support the leak being real.

How the Grinch leaked Smash Bros
---

You're a sly one, Mr. Grinch
---

bummed if true for no shantae but that's solid

Also for those against Incineroar

How the Grinch leaked Smash Bros

From the SSBU board:

Every User Down in SmashFAQs Liked Pre-release hype a lot...
But the Grinch, Who lived up in France, Did NOT!
The Grinch hated Pre-release hype! The whole Pre-release season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

Maybe it was because he thought it was a waste.
Or perhaps the final roster wasn't to his taste.
But I think the real cause of which
Was that he didn't own a Nintendo Switch

So then the Grinch, while he sat in his chair
Decided to make Ultimate for everyone unfair
I shall release a leak all blurry and askew!
One thatll make all of SmashFAQs argue!

With that the Grinch with a snap and a shot
Uploaded a link right on the spot
He added some characters here and there
And even had space for Shadow and Banjo to spare

As The Grinch Snapped the Roster with a Quick Snap
He knew he had to find a scapegoat to deal with the legal crap
He came across Frenchman Eric Picard
Who's position at his company was held in High Regard

Excuse me Sir why are you taking that Pic?
Don't you know that would get you fired real quick?

But of course the Grinch was so smart and so slick,
that he thought up a lie and thought it up quick.

Why my dear French Man
There's a leak in the pipes near these files
So I took a picture to report it to Cooperate Plumbing in Style
So I'm fixing the leak and fixing it right
For the pipes need to be sealed shut tight

And his fib fooled the frenchman and patted his head.
He got him a drink and sent him to bed.
And Stole his ID and placed it in the pic instead
For after all, the Nintendo Ninjas were out for his head
So The Grinch put a French man in his place and marked him for dead.
