Now I'm wondering why Arthur has no characters who are otters.

It's because PBS can't compete with the true OG.

From what I've heard from my peeps who work on the industry (which a lot of people love to call "sources" for some reason and I used to work on games journalism), there should be at least a Direct this coming november. One told me it is gonna be two of them, one general and other Smash only, but seems a little too much IMO to have two Directs in a month. Also, to my fellas the Grinch leak is real, people are just playing it down to not get on Nintendo's bad side.

I'm no insider and don't have any interesting info to add up, just thought it was interesting to share what we have talked without much fuzz or putting anyone in trouble. Let's keep the hype blasting tru.

My man

Biggest news so far today btw is VG24/7 talking about how it's doubtful any insider has more than one real solid source, even if he thinks the insiders aren't sharing the same source.

I can happily say I've only spoken directly to one person directly who has given me information (and they've thus far been reliable), but I've also spoken to other people who have similar information and confirmed they're not getting it from the same person. The flip side of this is, to play devil's advocate: who is the source's source for them? Is it verifiably direct (IE do they work on the game, would they be in a position to directly receive this information?) With a lot of effort, just like crafting a fake it'd be so easy to insert 'sources' into different places to create an echo chamber that spreads misinformation.

This is where my previous posts about reporting come in, and how in traditional journalistic areas anybody would want two or more verifiable sources before going to print. They don't just want two sources: you want to make sure you can also verify they have the means to possess the information they do and also that the two sources are independent - ensure that they're not saying the same thing because they both heard it from the same place, which could be incorrect. This is why you haven't seen any really big leak reports on big-name websites about this, and why most of the discourse is just people (be it influencers, media, social media folks, community members or whatever else) shooting the shit on twitter. I don't think anybody has really been able to piece together that sort of water-tight sourcing, so of course people could be being misled. I don't think it's all that likely though, because there's a lot of people from a lot of different areas who seemingly don't know each other singing from the same song sheet.
I recommend everybody reads it.

Ok, so...fill me in.

Why do people still think Incineroar is in?

If that banner is true, then he's gotta be DLC at this point if anything.

So the last past 5 days were entirely worthless because the only one left standing is Vergeben with Incineroar, Ken, and Square.

Oh well at least we got through some tedium

Unless you're joking would you mind verifying this info with mods?

I have no problem, but I'm just a nobody right now who keeps enjoying talking about games and chatting with devs/peeps in the industry, and I think nothing I have shared is outright wrong, just basic logic stuff people in my circle are sharing. As I said, I'm no insider, not looking to bring up/seeking attention or any gain, just having fun as much as you guys with all this crazy info coming out.

Are you like the new Cloud guy? Tansut who kind of hinted Cloud was in Smash right before the direct.

Come to think of it has anyone asked the Gematsu guy if he knows anything about Ultimate? I think he posts here. We know he has no problem detailing his findings.

I want the Second Gematsu coming lol

If we're trying to summon a Direct soon, then what Direct themed Halloween costume should I wear?

Iwata would be an easy one, just wearing a suit and carrying a bunch of bananas
Reggie could work if I wear sunglasses and act like when he was a robot in the mega64 skit
I would dress up as Sakurai but I think I'm too old to make it believable
The "Come on Reggie give is Mother 3" guy would be an easy one
Non specific action figure would be a deep cut and require a lot of work
I'd rather not dress up as Chibi Robo with a trash can and an extension cord because then I'd have to set myself on fire

Tough choices

I mean if you trust the insiders then you already ruled this leak out, but it won't be deconfirmed until a direct or other new proof is posted.
Before insiders said they can only say it was fake but Steve saying he can say the banner and Snapchat video in itself was fake kinda makes me think they know a little bit more of the picture beyond knowing one character isn't there

Im still believing the crop on Little Mac is evidence Issac was pulled from the last Direct, no one can tell me otherwise.

It was debunked as a bug and not a photoshop fail from Nintendo but...

The only thing that makes me believe in this is that the crop position is just where Isaac render ends, and this was posted back in September so the person couldn't have know about the Isaac position in the Grinch leak banner. Either the render is real or it's extreme coincidence that it ends just where Isaac render does.
