The funny thing is, I trust her more than I trust some of these "insiders".

Don't believe her lies. She says she's gonna sleep at night but never does.

I miss sleep.

Calling yourself an "insider" is like calling yourself a "medical doctor". Would you trust a "medical doctor"?

I perform all my own surgeries thank you very much.

Hey that's not your info to give out.

I have legal ownership of all of her insider information until she turns 18.

Hmm, there are still lots of franchises to cover is this game is to be "Ultimate". Can dlc do all of this? My guess for future dlc:

- Chibi Robo (just character)
- Lip (just character)
- Lara Croft (just character)
- Single gen 8 Pokémon and costumes
- Dragon Quest pack (Slime character, DQ8 mc assist trophy, stage, lots of music, couple of Mii costumes and lots of regular trophies)
- Crash Bandicoot pack (Crash character, Spyro assist, stage, costumes and regular trophies)
- Tecmo pack (Hayabusa character, Tecmo bowl assist, Ninja Gaiden stage, Rygar and Solomon's Key costumes, regular trophies)
- Ubisoft pack (two characters: Rayman and Prince, Rayman stage, Globox assist, Assassin's Creed, PoP, Tonic Trouble costumes, shitload of regular trophies)
- Rare pack (Joanna Dark character, Jet Force Gemini stage, Timber assist, DKR and Battletoads costumes, regular trophies)
You forgot Gex.

This legit looks like the three-tiered marketing panel that is above and behind most Gamestop registers.
You've seen something similar to this?

I'm not sure why you would think Bandai Namco would be responsible for making retail displays for a Nintendo-published game. This would be the first time in the history of Nintendo that they've had a third party developer handle the retail presentation of one of their games. What's the proof that Bamco is handling this?
I literally just said that Bamco is not handling marketing. A firm that has worked with them in the past has. And we've received confirmation as of this morning that this firm is handling some Smash Ultimate stuff.

I'm still really hopeful for a DQ DLC add. Would make a lot of sense. Paid DLC should cover licensing costs. Would still be a huge draw people would pay for (like Ryu and Cloud) and people who hate Sugiyama could pass.

I totally believe it's real, though im slightly skeptical about it being everyone since we have a missing Pokémon.

I wanna be #TeamFake to be hipster though! Elma, you can do it!!!

The funny thing is that no one can disprove a thing about the leak itself.

All "it's fake" people are just relying other people telling them.

i just realized that this being real would vindicate blog theory since it's right in the estimate
it would also vindicate music theory on the basis that shadow is an echo

everything fits so well

Wamb0wneD you should uh remove your last post

Reposting for new page, if I didn't add you in just quote me again! Also, we need Team Fakers to step it up.

Era, the only way we can truly settle this is a site wide avatar bet.

One month avatar bet, quote this post with what team you're on and I'll add you to the list. No more cowardice!

Eh why not.

Team Real. If for no other reason then if this is real I actually get some people I'd be excited for compared to what we've been getting.

I was an ASM for nearly a decade and these look exactly like the marketing panels that they used for the latter half of my time there. They separate so you can slide in each panel on the sides and always came in three pieces. If you happen to shop there, it would be behind the register up top, usually.

we ain't playing games of "but i heard x from y" at this point, if you've got something against this massive leak you'll have to clearly say explicitely why and how it contradicts the leak
we're way past the point of just reading stuff from pseudo insiders on gamefaqs

How would you even go about faking this?

There's way too much surrounding this for me to doubt it. We have an employee, company, and a Grinch, seems too solid imo

Oof. Fuck, how do I go about this...

To look or not to look...

Edit: Bah, caught a glimpse of the list. None of them blow me away personally, not even the one I care about most (Banjo). He seems weirdly out of place to me, but we'll see how it goes.

Guess that just spoiled the reveal trailers for me, ugh.

Fuck leakers.

If this leak ends up being real, for me it would truly be a Good Ending. Which would be lovely considering how the Bad Ending, box leak, has terrorized us for so long.

The best explanation for the banner not having some characters insiders know about is that that particular banner is not supposed to show all characters, just all those that will be revealed before release, like Duck Hunt trailer not being oficially revealed until a month and a half after the 3ds smash release even when everyone knew it was in because.. you know.. people bought smash 3ds

the one thing i'm not sure of on this leak is what the timetable would be for that print job. my gut says 2-3 weeks till they would be needed but nailing down logistics without many details is tough. If we have a smash direct on Nov 1st or 8th that would make sense. any "insiders" got a scoop on a direct date that might add some more light to this?

The leak seems convincing but those "in the know", while presenting slightly different stories, have all expressed, more or less, that this isn't an accurate depiction of the full roster.

That's a bummer, but it does stand to reason that where there's enough smoke, there's likely fire.

This would be great if it's real but Sakurai deadass said not to expect too many characters this time around~

If this is real I'll be shocked but man if it's fake, the amount of detail and breadcrumbs they lined up is amazing, from the peekaboo of their name where they seem to have "tried" to hide it, the LinkedIn page, the fact it's on something specific like a promotional wristband. It's impressive.

I think everyone just needs to hype responsibly. But I don't see many people talking about how exactly they're going to reveal all of these characters, especially when Isaac, Geno, and Banjo are all big crowdpleasers and all will want their "moment" in a Direct, as well as likely individual trailers. With a monthish until release I only see them doing one more Direct for Smash and would probably bookend two reveals like the August Direct, with echoes in between.

I just don't think it's realistic. Unless they did a big multi-reveal like Brawl's announcement trailer, but we don't get those anymore - every character gets their own individual showstopping trailer or CGI animation so I don't see them doing that for all 5 or whatever of these newcomers, or on the flipside, giving them half arsed reveals one after another either.

I want to believe it's real but leaving towards fake. Also I'm a bitter Dixie stan and it'll be a hate crime of she's cut TWICE. It ain't right :(
