Laclipsey Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Seems like it could be legit. Of course that's predicated solely on the story that the leak comes from a French printing company associated with Bandai Namco. I believed most of the characters had a shot anyway. Except for Banjo. Though I only wasn't pulling for him because I didn't believe he had a chance in a million. Also, I would be really excited to see Mach Rider, and that sounds like just the kind of left-field semi-forgotten retro game Sakurai would pick. If true, RIP in peace Felix and Shantae.

Spoiler If you look to the image to your top left, you will see promotional material for the Grinch Nov 2018 movie, at bottom right and again the top left. Just like the Smash promotional material, this stuff has never been released before. Thus why it is called the Grinch leak. Quote Link to comment

blcdude1 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Assuming the leak is true, and that's it for new characters, do consider that this might not be the end for new characters. DLC is remains a thing that exists; Nintendo could add characters post-launch. So even if your most-wanted character isn't here yet, they could appear as a DLC challenger. So don't despair, pupupu, they might still be there! Quote Link to comment

purple_beard Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Another recap but what I found interesting was their final question: Do you play a character because you are good with them or because you like them? I'd say.... I kind of need that like inclination to give someone a try.... but I guess, I net at good with..... any character I play is a character I trust myself executing their moves consistently. Some characters I just can't make work for me so I pretty much leave them alone after first try. I do try to experiment with everyone to see how they feel in the current game I am playing though... but then the ones that click with me and the ones I feel good about move set execution are the ones I keep in my core rotation.

Tyranogre Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm a little of both. Fire Emblem Awakening is one of my favorite games of all time, but I'm absolutely terrible with Robin. On the other hand, I think Metal Gear Solid is a preachy, overrated mess of frustration, but I used Snake semi-competently in Brawl. For the most part, though, I tend to stick with Kirby, Mr. Game & Watch, and ROB. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I just thought of something: What if the Grinch leak didn't confirm Isaac, but Matthew instead? Obviously the supposed image leak is way too blurry to make out the details, but they look similar enough at first glance that the leaker may have mistaken the latter for the former. Plus, when you think about it, if the purpose of putting a Golden Sun rep into Smash is to build up hype for an eventual revival of the series, it would make more sense for Matthew to show up than his father, because Dark Dawn's cliffhanger ending strongly implies that he'd still be the protagonist for the fourth game.

Doc Brown Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) Could be. Still more of an Isaac fan though . Don't really give a damn about Matthew that much to be honest. Came across this via Gamefaq's thread (posted towards the end of September that mentions what you just said about Matthew. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/76949721 Edited October 30, 2018 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment

Nah, the picture isn't so blurry that you can't pick out the details on Isaac's breastplate and his lack of a denim jacket. That, and I recall Sakurai saying that he's trying particularly hard to fulfill fan requests this time around, which leads me to believe he's less concerned with setting up a series for a sequel. Took me until now to notice the Earth Djinn at Isaac's feet, though. Nice touch. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 TBH, I don't care that much who the rep will be for Golden Sun. It can either be Isaac, Felix or Matthew for all I care. I know they are all earth adepts but their personalities are all so different (which I know means nothing look at the FE reps) but they matter just like those who look and prefer something different from the sword wielding chars of FE. If we are getting GS rep, it will only be one and if we are luck DLC will add another. I'm if all we get is just one be there's so many characters you can pull from that series. So definitely one of those 3 protagonists. But I agree with Laclipsey, that is straight up Isaac. Quote Link to comment
Stephen 776 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 What if the direct announces Isaac than either Mathew and/or Felix as an echo just to mess with the grinch leak Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There's was rumor or two direct coming in November one Smash and one regular. I though back with the Grinch leak it makes sense to have Smash direct later in November but just this morning I thought to myself, 'you know what it makes sense to start this month off with Smash direct on November 1st.' And now that it is happening, I don't know how to feel and I don't think I'm ready for some reason. 3 days in advance for direct announcement, rare but it happens. This reluctancy (I think that is the right word here) I feel with this direct coming up wants this direct not to happen, at least not yet. I am team fake from the start despite how Grinch leak came about not so much the chars but I think that is what is making feeling this way with a direct on the way now and confirmed. It is a weird feeling and I want it to go away. Quote Link to comment
Shadow118 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I’m pretty much neutral on it, tbh Ive heard it mentioned by name, but I don’t know any exact details or any specifics about it - pretty much have been avoiding any leaks to the best of my ability seem to be doing decent so far Quote Link to comment

Ridley Prime Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So I guess the Grinch leak was an elaborate ruse, and those who fully got on board with believing or expecting it set themselves up for disappointment and are having meltdowns now. Another typical day of Smash speculation armageddon... That aside, I am glad to see Incineroar, but some like Isaac got it dirty, though Dixie Kong I kinda lament the most at the moment. After K. Rool's addition, seemed like she ought to have been an echo fighter at least. Glad DLC is already confirmed though, even if it's doing the shady fighter pass thing where you don't know all of what you're paying for yet. The new adventure/story mode looks okay for a Subspace 2 or something, though not expecting much other than that you can unlock most or all of the characters from it. And I guess if there had to be one more random wtf addition, Piranha Plant seems like a fun choice. The Albraskan 1 Quote Link to comment

The Grinch Leak was real, but the leaker faked the Smash Bros portion of the leak to add legitimacy to his real leaked images of the upcoming Grinch movie. They're a mean one.

purple_beard Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Not quit quantitiy blocking but Best Buy will allow you to do 2 ea. but it won't look like amiibo x 2x, it will be amiibo x 1x then amiibo x 1x , or in other words....they list as separate items as quantity 1 ea. They are offering Ice Climbers, K. Rool, and Piranha Plant. Edited November 1, 2018 by purple_beard Quote Link to comment
