Wait you're saying the Snapchat video and banner are wrong, but not the contents as in characters?

Sorry I'm a little confused.

It's nice that you clartified this a bit but I'm confused on why you think the banner is wrong but you aren't saying the contents are wrong. Is the order the characters are laid out?
Not speaking for Steve here, he can chime in on his own, but what I believe he meant is that the banner itself is fake but that contents -- like Ken, as an example, may very well be real.

I don't care what speculation is right or wrong, I'm in it for the ride.

Well, I live in reality and this fake Grinch leak has not been very fun for a lot of insiders or the people who've been harassed. We probably wouldn't still be talking about this low res angled shot of a so called leak if people hadn't cyberstalked some dude and maybe a tenuous connection between his company and BN, which made it feel more real until it was a different company with no connection but the Hype Train had left the station and refuses to crash even though there's basically nothing support it any more.

I thought chair theory was bad (and stayed away because of it) but this is worse.

So the idea is that the banner is an elaborate fake and they just happened to correctly guess 4/7 but also missed one.

I don't remember anyone here doing that.

I wanted Reporter Girl instead of Chorus Kids.

Or the Donut Lady.

Or the Alien you translate

Or the little girl who lost her Pinwheel

So is Ryce the only insider with roster knowledge then and the others are basing their skepticism off of the banner not being real for one reason or another?

I seems more and more likely that the banner is real, but Incineroar was thought to be in and is either cut, moved to DLC, or a fake leak spread by the team to confuse people's expectations.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that maybe Sakurai decided to do more with Incineroar? I mean, the reaction to him being leaked as the fighter wasn't exactly enthusiastic, plus people have been championing Decidueye for a while. Maybe Sakurai was torn on which starter to use and they went with Incineroar, but they second guessed themselves and later decide to move him to DLC as a second Pokemon Trainer character. Obviously that's just baseless speculation, but it's one possible explanation for why a Pokemon character could be moved to DLC.

The banner is an elaborate fake that just happened to guess 4/7 but also missed one and ALSO knew Grow would get in as an item for Isaac.

IF, and IF this is it while at the same time the contents of the Grinch leak are legitimate, I would like to point out that the dimensions of the bracelet and the banner are probably different enough where the printing company ACP probably received separate character arc to lay out as they please while making it look similar to the official banner. Of course that is just my speculation based on the fact they used a blank background as sort of a starting point based on what we've seen.

That would be hilarious. I don't think things work that way though.

I'm now imagining an email convo between Sakurai and Phil Spencher talking about "Incineroar".

Hey Neiteio could you write up a funny convo like that?
Ha, I'm tickled pink you thought of me :-3

Unfortunately I'm all tapped out from the swirling maelstrom of madness that is this thread!

Ken, Shadow, Geno and Isaac from this banner seem like locks.

Mach Rider, Banjo, Chorus Kids are the three we probably should discuss.

Sakurai has that gin from the robot that looked like Mach Rider

Galaxy brain: The guy giving all the info to the insiders is actually the original creator of the Grinch Leak.

He's Q! Leading us all on an elaborate hunt to trap himself!

Succubus falls under monster person category

Also better to use the term monster person and not girl since their are guy ones

Also sounds less waifuy
More acceptable
wouldn't that mean a demon would be a monster person

i don't buy it

i have trouble believing that monster people lovers really like morrigan and that people who like morrigan love monster people

i think it's more like a venn diagram

Sorry I'm a little confused.

I'm saying I know for a fact the Snapchat video and banner are fake, for a few reasons I can't discuss without endangering my sources, but they're fake. You're correct that I don't know if those characters are in or out.

It's nice that you clartified this a bit but I'm confused on why you think the banner is wrong but you aren't saying the contents are wrong. Is the order the characters are laid out?

The banner itself is a fake. That's all I know that I can say publicly about it.

So y'all have seen the banner?

I mean that's the only way all of this makes sense. Unless you know a specific character ISNT in the game.

I haven't seen the real banner personally, no. I doubt anyone on my side of the industry has.

So you don't have info that says the characters aren't in? But only that they don't exist as they do in the leak correct?

I can't deconfirm any specific characters from the Snapchat video, all I can confirm is that the Snapchat video is indeed fake.

I stand firm in my stance that a second PT is the dumbest thing so, aside from not thinking Sakurai would do any of that, I would hope he wouldn't either.
