Tell me in 100 words or less why we should be inclined to believe your leak go.

RUMOR: Massive Smash Ultimate leak is allegedly an emotional roller coaster [UPDATES IN OP]

all factors considered it seems implausibly stupid and convenient, and the shot at Nintendo just makes it seem more intentional. But I guess OP can call me stupid and thats a-ok for some reason.
Geno is owned by Square. The problem would be Sora, since he's actually owned by Disney.
Geno was made by Square. I would assume insiders would say Geno is a Square rep
In the initial ESRB leak before the 3DS version, the leaker posted images of every character in Smash history with either a check or an x to signify if they were in or not, plus the Smash 4 newcomers. Mewtwo was the only character with a question mark instead, so he was clearly under some sort of consideration at the time. And then he was publicly announced before the Smash Wii U launch. So yeah, even though they say they don't consider DLC until the game is out... they definitely do. It's PR talk to shield from potential criticisms of characters being cut solely so they can be added back in as DLC.
So is Sora considered a Square rep or a Disney rep by insiders?
These are people that made a message that said fuck Nintendo and attempted to censor the name and did a poor job at it.
People are just that dumb. It's either that or absurdly evil
Yes DLC can be announced at the Game Awards. Show a normal pic of Sora or whoever and announce they're coming to Smash next year.
I think Banjo pushes me to think this is fake. I just don't see it happening. They wouldn't do this unless Banjo had a game in the pipeline and I don't think we will see a new game in the series any time soon.
Diddy Kong Racing DS was Rare, yeah. I imagine that decision actually came from Nintendo - by that point the "Donkey Kong Universe" was pretty established, not to mention Conker had become a very, very different character post-DKR 64.
There was also a Viva Pinata game on DS, and this year's Microsoft E3 conference straight up had a Switch in it, thanks to Minecraft.
Honestly the barriers that were once up for Rare stuff on Nintendo were already pretty small (Goldeneye 64 was very almost ported to both Wii and 360 IIRC), I don't think they'd necessarily say no to Banjo in Smash these days. I'm half expecting his reveal to coincide with a Rare Replay port to Switch (minus everything for Xbox platforms).

there are lots of stupid people dude. it's much more likely the guy or his friend didn't really think things through than a guy intentionally destroyed his own life for internet fame.
It just feels like you want to argue without knowing what to say
It took 5 years since Mega Man's Smash announcement for Capcom to put out a new game.
Even then around planning there was the Rare Replay

They were also working on Halo DS.
Microsoft didn't see the DS as a competing system at the time, which is why they allowed Rare to work on DS titles.
All the fans I see all over the internet call Sora a Square rep. Idk if insiders think differently. We call him a Square rep because he was made by Square and his ties are always with Square.
Disney never seems to use him.
On contract, Disney. But they don't do anything with the series without Nomura's say so, to the point that it's basically Square's. It doesn't feel too dissimilar to how Spidey's movie license is still Sony's but we all know damn well Marvel is running.
Fire Emblem Fates was already out in JPN when they announced Corrin for Smash.
This is a pretty solid theory imo. Then it also makes sense that all these insiders have heard, because they have contacts at the game awards.
The pedantic arse in me would say Disney, but it's not like they ever do anything with the character. Nominally it's the Mouse, but in practice I imagine the supervision about how Sora ought to be depicted would involve Square people.
Don't get me wrong, the background editing is the bigger reason I think its fake. The origin story of this whole thing just seemed really dubious and overlooked.
It was not, but it's fair that you would think that if you're not familiar with the app.

What the hell? You're losing an argument so you start smearing other people's names? Not once have I ever called you, or any other user, stupid. All I did was call out your nonsense arguments.
The way you're behaving is not cool. You've been relentlessly condescending, and now you're just being petty. Lying is a new low, even for you.
Found the quote regarding Goldeneye being ported to Wii and 360:
Eventually that semi-remake from Activision came out instead.
So yeah, Nintendo and Microsoft weren't exactly adverse to working together, and that was over a decade ago. Times have changed even more since then.

Capcom is pretty notorious for making dumb ass decisions related to that franchise.
I am absolutely #teamreal.
Fucking fantastic roster too. I'm getting literally every character I've dreamed about since I was a kid.

I've read this post four or five times and I'm still not quite sure what you are arguing lol.
Someone acting outrageously cocky about their leak only to have it backfire horribly is just too good to be true, almost like the equivalent of talking bad about someone and they're comically standing right behind them.
Those were separate projects. Goldeneye on Wii was supposed to be a Virtual Console/emulation
The game for 360 was a port. It was not meant to be emulated.
It wasn't just about Nintendo either, as they don't own that IP in any way
Why wouldn't that reach here? Everyone is looking for new info.
There was Age of Empires ds too.
And if this has any meaning for future Banjo announcements, it'd be on the N64 classic mini.
Eh guys...
Why did we never argue the Grinch picture
The render shows the whole body?
It's not precisely the same picture: the Grinch's head is lower in the leak. You can tell by looking at where the curvature of his chin begins in comparison to the dogs' ears.Eh guys...

I actually linked that very poster in my original post
The difference is the dog is higher, and he's in front of the Grinch's back, of which there are no renders (that anyone has found). You can tell because the Grinch's face (which has green highlights) is on the opposite "side", with the dogs ears peeking out behind him.
It gets to a point in which a company realizes there's more money to be made by lending a certain property to someone else rather than keep it under wraps by themselves. It's the same reason why if Banjo Threeie was to be announced, I'd totally expect it to be released on Switch too. Microsoft has already proved they're willing to do this kind of thing if it guarantees more money with Minecraft.
Since I fully believe Banjo and Kazooie are in then I can see a Banjo Threeie announced at XO18
I just don't see any back in that blurry piece... how do you guys see it so clearly? The color difference can be attributed to the low quality as well right?
That Or I may not understand your explanation
And the Banjo games plus Diddy Kong Racing could be on N64 mini
Honestly looking at it that Grinch picture does look the same, but I don't see how that changes anything. Why would the leaker have that marketing material on sight in the first place?
Side by side and mirrored, to give the full impression. You can see the lighter green face and his nose on the "bottom".
The ornament is meant to be folded over, so the Grinch's face is on one side, and the dog w/ back is on the other.
You could say to make it look more real, so it would have been intentional. Which may be the more out-there theory I know seeing as ut being real is more likely because of the giga effort there would have been made for this to be faked.
Team effort?
Yeah I forgot about the N64 Mini. This would bode very well for Rare games on it.
