A) they know it's fake and have seen footage or have info of characters mia

B) they think/know it's real, and are fully on board the "don't want to ruin the surprise" hence the comment of "not wanting to give this more exposure"

C) they think or have strong reason to think it's fake, and don't to waste time getting people excited about it

D) they think/know it's real, and are afraid to talk on the record for fear of being blackballed by Nintendo

A good summary, but I would argue that if A and C are true, then GameExplain has nothing to lose as a channel. They get to do what they usually do and rip apart a fake leak with their usual thorough analysis and get loads of hits on their channel covering the biggest leak to come out since the NX days. Why the silence guys?

And I'll just add they can do this without exposing anything they know, there's enough teamfake evidence out there without revealing any confidential details about the game.

Has anyone been able to do that thing Omni suggested the other day? Taking every banner we have seen and removing just the characters, then layering the backgrounds on top of each other and seeing if those are identical to the leak?

Because I really think if they are that would definitely prove it's fake.

Oh it was just the E3 demo as usual

sure, but we know sakurai likes to overdeliver in content so i'm guessing there were a few

I believe he said he'd do it himself if no one else did, correct?

I could have sworn somebody has done this.

I don't think I ever saw that but it's definitely possible he said that.

This is really not hard for anyone at all to do, it's just extremely time consuming especially since there are apparently 7 different variations of the banner.

We could have had an onslaught of final reveals, something for the history books. Banjo and Kazooie from Microsoft, an unprecedented partnership made just for the fans. Retro surprise in Mach Rider. Fan requested Geno and Shadow blowing up. Nintendo confirming they havent forgotten Golden Sun with Isaac.

Instead we'll get Incineroar and echo Ken.

Anyway, talking about the game.



In this short video, Larry Lurr explains why he feels many of the mechanic changes (speed buffs etc.) might push Smash Ultimate' meta towards more of a rock-paper-scissors structure (Heavies/Grapplers > Rushdown/Zone Breakers > Zoners > Heavies/Grapplers).

And Fire Emblem's influence over Smash spreads.

I know, I know, "slowing the pace" and everything, but this is why I can't believe there won't be at least 4 reveals in the final Direct.

Are we already at the stage where we get mad at Sakurai and Nintendo for the leak not being true
