And in a minor note here, Luigi has been decloned a bit as he now uses the Poltergust for his throws (unknown if grabbing has changed).

I love Luigi and I always found the small tweaks to make him unique to be really nice.

So apparently there have been some new, possibly believable character leaks.

Please don't spoil them here, thanks.

Speaking of which, when's that Direct coming??!?

If it's the 4chan 12 character leak, it is total wish fulfilment bullshit.

Makes me wonder if he'll get a new Final Smash based on LM3.

Idk, that new leak today is looking pretty solid. They’ve confirmed the person’s company is indeed working with Nintendo for Smash. It’s a good list of characters so I hope it’s real. We’ll find out soon enough.

Plus he simultaneously leaked some unseen stuff for that new Grinch movie. Holds some water.

Literally everything on the leak is fakeable. Also it's blurry. Blurry things are never real.

I wish it was true, because there's a lot of good shit that I wouldn't have been expecting. But I highly doubt it is.

I could go either way on the leak as there are some things that seem hard to fake but at the same time has or lacks things I cast extreme doubt on.

It being so blurry is a major red flag. But there is some credibility. I'm 50/50.

I'm leaning towards real. Lack of Pokemon seems a little weird, but a lot of the details surrounding that Grinch stuff seems to weird and specific to fake

I do think it's fake because of the roster, but if it is fake, it's easily the most credible fake leak I've ever seen in my life. Also Smash memes about the Grinch, who woulda thunk.

I think it could go either way. I'm banking on it being the obligatory fake leak that everyone believes right before the leak that's true but nobody believes right before the final direct

What sucks about things like this is that even if it's true, we just missed an amazing opportunity to be completely blown away from the hype when the next direct comes by. Now it's just like... Welp, we knew.

Yeah, you can barely have real surprises these days in the video game culture with the constant leaks. Not sure why these leakers do it (other than a sense of power and/or attention? not sure)...

Did you all forgot to spoiler-bracket all of that? Or is it ok as long as you don't believe the leak??

There's been no confirmation that it's real. But if one wants to be on the safe side it's probably for the best to avoid this thread...

Mod note:
When discussing leaks/rumors of new characters and stages for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, be sure to make use of spoiler brackets when discussing specific details, i.e. anything that can reveal to anyone which characters or stages have been included (or haven't been) and how many. I've gone through some posts on this last page and put in spoiler brackets to cover such details where I've found them, but I will not impose any requirements for spoiler brackets on posts that discuss them in general, non-specific terms.

Short version: Some of us want to be surprised. Be respectful of that fact.

How I feel bout leaks and spoilers (especially for smash bros, my top anticipated nintendo game) summed up in a video

Apparently in the smash video that Nintendo posted on twitter you can see an item or something that many people believe points to the idea of one of the characters in the Grinch leak being real.
