To be fair looking at the potential context why it's blurry gives it a decent out.One of the strange things about the leak it's how blurry the photo is. I mean the intent is basically "fuck Nintendo (in french)", so why is the photo so blurry?
ESRB leak this is not.
Oh shit. Is that from Dark Dawn?
Nice find. Looks exactly just like it.
Hmmmmmmmmm

The question if it's fake is did they really try to stage a situation to give it an out for being blurry?
So we're just saying not to take anything he says as truth at all?Sakurai said to not expect many newcomers. He didn't say that there wouldn't be many newcomers.
Also, slowing down the pace of reveals is a really vague statement, because there has been no pattern to the reveals thus far. 1 new characters revealed when the game was revealed then 3 months later we got a newcomer and an echo, then 2 months later we got 2 newcomers and 3 echos, then a month later we got 1 newcomer. Does he mean there will be more time until the next reveal or there will be fewer characters to reveal?
Where is that Golden Sun image from? I don't remember there being a bubble.
Nice receipts
Yeah it looks like they just copy pastedWhere is that Golden Sun image from? I don't remember there being a bubble.
You know I was joking, right? You seem weirdly invested in being as aggressive about this leak as possible.No. It's like one random person telling you you're going to be served a steak because somebody snap chatted him a blurry picture of what appears to be a steak on your plate, and then another person who happens to actually be both your bus boy and your waiter telling you that you're going to be served some cow shit and that they know for a fact the chef is plating in right now.
You may really want to believe you're getting the steak, and might have just enough info to convince yourself. But the sensible logic dictates you're getting a plate of cow shit.
pobody's nerfect
I got it from Reddit, I never played the games so I don't know which one is from. The poster don't exactly detail it aswell.Where is that Golden Sun image from? I don't remember there being a bubble.
Damn, you caught my trick question. I was suspicious since you smelled like beef and cheese, but I shouldn't have lost faith.sorry i don't listen to hip hop

So some interesting things have came up. On a Discord server I'm in, a few of us have been discussing things about this leak. One topic was the 'Zelda spire' which doesn't seem to be present in the E3 background, but is in the E3 character mural. The same spire is shown on the empty leaked mural, and ArtsyOmni has stated it's not there, supposedly. However, using crappy MS Paint skills, it's clear that the spire IS there, but the actual spire is hidden behind Zelda. [The building next to it with the triangular roof is visible on the mural] (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/445084426133569538/505164013261553674/Zelda2.PNG)
Even more interestingly, a user on the same Discord server has shown a picture of what's supposedly the new item accidentally shown off, and [apparently it 100% is a Golden Sun item] (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DqYpAF6WoAEWeMw.jpg), with the [original for comparison] (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/445084426133569538/505164106387554314/unknown.png)
Has this been posted about the new item?

So I want to do something different. Let's start by saying I'm completely #teamreal, so I already believe this leak is legit.
I want to "prove" it not on a technical level, nor on a logical level, but I want to give my own personal impressions on why do I believe this is real on an artistic and thematic level. I'ms starting off by saying that I'm goint to give for granted, just for fun, that this is real and try to understand why the final banner is done like it is, trying to enter Sakurai's own mind. Yeah, whooooo. This is all entirely subjective and there is absolutely not a single fact behind it, it's driven by heart.
Here are the reasons why I think this is legit:
1) The picture is voluntarily extremely crowded, they want to pass the feel of a roster which is overwhelming and big. The first thing I'm noticing is that there is very little blank space between all the characters. As of right now, the banner shows some weird blank spaces in certain areas. The one I noticed the most is the area around Dark Samus. Look for example how many characters are around Bowser: I count nine characters that touch him, completely engulfing him. Dark Samus? Two: Sjulk and Pac-Man. Since its reveal it seemed odd that in the banner we would be able to see only the face of Bowser basically, but the entire render of Dark Samus was perfectly visible. In the leaked banner, everything is moved up to fill that space: Ness is closer, Jigglypuff is removed from the Pokémon Trainer (why is she there in the first place?), and of course there is Geno.
The same can obviously be said from the area under Mewtwo: now it's officially inhabited by only the Mii Gunner, which is weirdly enough dislocated from its two partners, but in the banner leak the king Banjo takes its place, moving the Gunner along with the rest. That Mii Gunner position screams placeholder.
2) Chorus Kids are paired with Pokémon Trainer, and not only. Let's not even consider the fact that the artwork implies the leaker actually knows about the franchise because of the tie thing, the real interesting fact is the inclusion of the director alongside the trio of the kids (generally depicted by themselves by other "leakers"). The fact that it's so close to Pokémon Trainer makes me think the Director is going to act similar: as a background character giving... directions to the kids which are going to be the actual playable characters. Their position is very interesting because it poses both the Trainer and the Director side by side, like they're going to simultaneously unleash their own army against someone (Wario). It's a very Sakurai and Nintendo thing to do.
3) Isaac's grass move. Again, a very specific reference that only someone with a general knowledge of Golden Sun would use (not me, for example), and also, thematically interesting in the banner. Who are two of the closest characters to Isaac? Snake and Olimar, both characters thematically tied to grass, seen often lurking inside it. Weak I know, but might as well.
4) You can see Falco and Luigi have been moved close together, and they both strike a similar pose like they are launching themselves in the air (they're over Bowser's head in the leak). Instantly reminded me of this:
Before, I never made the connection, but now the reference seems pretty clear.
5) Mach Rider on his bike. I 100% guarantee you a simple leaker would've depicted him holding a gun or something. The fact he's actually riding his bike in this banner makes me run wild with my imagination, and makes me think his moveset will actually be about him riding his bike the whole time. We are still missing a true WTF / joke character, and Mach Rider fits the bill. Something about him/her being so cool, yet so ridiculous, is Sakurai 101.
These are just a few thoughts, and nice touches that makes me believe this is true, and that a more generic leaker wouldn't have come up with. Or maybe I'm just too bored.
It's not the fact that it's blurry that's the out. It's why the video is blurry why people are willing to overlook it.Well, every fake leak does the blurry thing to try for credibility.
The guy had TWO LinkedIn profiles. Both with the same information, but two different companies. The older profile listed the company that made that statement. The newer profile has a different company that says he's worked there for a year and 8 months, which lines up with when the first company said he last worked for them, so what the company from that older profile says is pretty much irrelevant. What matters is what the company in the more current profile says.
I believe the bubble was photoshopped, otherwise it does not make sense for it to be cut like that.
Basically the whole fucking leak
Yep
This almost makes me want to help you lift something. But I still won't.This is the main reason I'm #TeamFake even though I love the contents of this leak and it's otherwise convincing.
I don't think these insiders (among them very reasonable ERA members) would continue to say it's fake unless the leaks they're privy are more compelling than the leaks we have here.
Since only they have access to both leaks (this Grinch leak, and whatever they have that's secret), only they can really decide between the two.
I don't think they'd double down on their old leak if they saw this new leak as more convincing. So there must be something notable about what they've been told vs. what we've seen.

Imran may know some stuff, but again like I stated before GAMEXPLAIN ISN'T AN INSIDE SOURCE. Neither is Serebii. Attaching that label to them is just going to cause them to get harassed about stuff they have no idea about.
Nah im talking post E3 as in its a different build.
Ganondorf and Incineroar seem like a good couple, they're both redheads and they're both heels, but together they find the little bit of compassion missing in their lives
I've seen people suggest it could grow into a Mario vine.Is there any other franchise in the entirety of Smash that has an orb with a sprout in it as a major key... like anything? Icon, creature, magic, anything?
This is a massive game if it's not Golden Sun then what is it?
