I like how Sheik's Bouncing Fish has a water splash on contact. Sheik also seems to have a new voice over.

The thing that stands out to me is プレミアムファイト (Premium Fight)

I dunno why but it makes me feel like it'll be a different demo

I can't wait for Nintendo to announce a direct and reveal a character who isn't on the leaked banner and also isn't Incineroar or a Square character, something like Chibi Robo or Wonder Red or something, killing the Grinch Leak, all the Insiders' sources, and the Box Theory in one shot.

Imagine this place if Dante is revealed and that's it. He's the last.

I suppose no Direct on the 1st then, but maybe the following week?

Just give us something!

Spent the last hour or so (minus breakfast) on this for fun. Couldn't get the color values quite right but I tried my best to manipulate the blank E3 banner to resemble the grinch one as closely as possible. Above are the full character banners for E3, Isabelle and August Direct (from top to bottom).

Feel free to draw your own conclusions... There are some areas I find suspicious. BUT. One thing I noticed while working on this little project is how the waterfalls/trapezoidal structures on the right (particularly the one in the middle) have always been obscured by Dedede. However, this was something the fake banner got right. (ignore the fact that the rightmost one is gone)


Hmmm....

(Edit: It is possible, then, that the leaker had access to the blank e3 banner. But take note that 1) No one was able to find it for 24 hours, 2) He would have no reason to work in discrepancies 3) If we admit point 2, that means that the discrepancies are due to artifacts and distortion - which takes us back to square 1

(Edit 2: https://smashboards.com/threads/sma...warning-spoilers-leaks-ahead.434391/page-6334 ) Ignore the part about the waterfall then, but still was a fun project

There's different ways the banner can be deconfirmed.

Asked this a couple days ago too (maybe yesterday?), what're people's current thoughts on DQ's chances at this point?
You know it's a lock, my man. DQ3 hero is coming.

In all seriousness, I think it's an inevitability, it has to happen sooner or later (maybe DLC, maybe next game), but DQ has to be the biggest, most glaring omission by now and Smash does tend to favor japanese IPs a lot.
My favorite leak was when Capcom revealed Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and put the website up, but someone found out an unrevealed character by changing a picture filename on the website. So for a good half hour or so on various gaming forums (including GAF), people were making a mad dash to plug in whatever names of Capcom and Marvel characters they could think of hoping that they'd pop up.

It was awesome.
That was so damn cool. I remember staring in disbelief at the screen after someone typed Phoenix Wright's name and got a result, probably the most excited I've been about a game "reveal" ever.

Yes, it was obscured even before Richter appeared in the August Direct:

And in the very first time we saw the mural:

Nice. Can any of our Graphic Artist legion verify this?

I was on GameFAQs at the time and it was nuts.

I can't believe they let that happen, but it was so hype.

Lower than Wendy's but higher than Shake Shack.

In my opinion a DQ rep is the number one pick that Sakurai would go for, but maybe he wouldn't actually get them.

But then if he actually snakes Banjo into the game then he is clearly a debate wizard.

No way. Music rights are complicated, and Geno has more precedence for being represented. Also square enix doesn't like giving DQ a global push for some reason, so they'd want someone else as a character.

Lower than Geno and another FF7 rep. Higher than Lara or another FF rep.

Thanks!

I choose to believe, yes! :slime:

I want to believe in the mural, because honestly, it did a magnificent job at shutting all discussion on that stupid box theory, honestly who in their right mind would think that Sakurai would use fucking Incineroar and Ken as the final character reveals? Dude is a master at generating hype. He knows how to set expections low so that he can blow them out of the water.

If it's fake then I'll just go back to Square one and say that we have at least 5 more newcomers: 3 Unique and 2 Echo left.

When I saw the title for the Wendy's Smash event, I seriously thought for a moment that it was the title for Wendy's (the Koopaling) Classic Mode run (like how characters have named Classic runs)

When you boot up the game, what will be your first match?

Me, it's always a Mario (me) v Link v Kirby v Pikachu (all CPU) match on Battlefield (I usually don't get to have Smash launch parties with friends)

Everyone here thinks i'm stanning for Roy from Fire Emblem but i'm actually a dedicated Roy Koopa main.

I am forever grateful that Sakurai allowed Roy (FE) to wreck Roy (Koopaling) for his DLC trailer

My preferred characters will almost certainly be locked, so it's going to entirely depend on how fast I can unlock them.

Aww come on, you won't have a ceremonial first match with just the N64 roster?

But tbh yeah my mains are not on that starting roster aside from Pikachu, so I sincerely hope the Green Mode is something special and fun to unlock characters like I think it is.

For real though, Roy Koopa is the best Roy and the best Koopa.

you spelled Iggy wrong

I'll scan in my Puff, Ganon and Ridley amiibo before doing anything.

and then play as Mario.

I didn't get to bring a lot of my extensive amiibo collection with me when I moved, so I'll be unlocking characters naturally (however that happens). But I know that if I had Villager amiibo with me, it'd be the first scanned haha
