We did meme K Rool and Ridley into existence.
And memoryman3 memes Daisy into existence all by himself
I say we give it a shot
significantly better than the joycons, thats for sure. Like, I see what they were trying to do but boy does it look dumb
The reason I believe it's sora because verge and insiders have said if the square character gets out it be garnunteed ti get traced to the source
I don't think geno is that big a deal

Since someone mentioned Doomguy, could any of the Japanese speakers around here tell me how would the phrase "The Sky May Be" sound in Japanese?
The Smash games, including Melee, are among my favorite ever. But this makes me kind of hate Melee.
Tourneyturds doing this already, shredding 74 stages out of the game on Day 1. Gross.
This or the next at most. But that was obvious since a month ago basically.
I'm not even going to use it, but I ordered it because it is gorgeous. Gamecube for me - player 2 can use it.
And then Sakurai called him a popular character, and that he gets requests for him to be included despite his age.
Look I'm not trying to memoryman it up here, I just think the idea that Geno's fanbase disappeared in Smash For is wrong.
I've been seeing a crazy amount of misinformation on Twitter, and downright ridiculous stuff being said about various people in the industry, so I thought I'd make a post to clarify what has been said publicly by most folks on the subject of Smash and its leaks. I'm pretty sure I've covered my own opinion enough here, but I'll start there:
What Steve Has Said:
The banner leak is fake. I've heard this from multiple sources but cannot confirm if the content of it is fake. I believe the contents are at least partially fake for reasons I can't divulge.
What GX Has Said:
The banner leak is fake. "Another example of an extremely blurry leak."
AndreGX tweeted the following:
What Imran Has Said:
"There's also the fact that, well, the roster seems woefully incomplete. Every single Super Smash Bros. game has added a new Pokemon character. Pikachu and Jigglypuff headlined the first game, Mewtwo came in at Melee, Brawl introduced Lucario, and the 3DS/Wii U game brought in Greninja. Since the last game's release, a new Pokemon generation has had two mainline games, and Pokemon itself has seen a resurgence in sales and popularity that had more or less taken over the world again, however temporarily. The presumption of a new Pokemon fighter in each game is so concrete that Greninja was originally just listed as "New Pokemon" on the game's design document, according to director Masahiro Sakurai, to be decided at a later date. This would be a strange time to suddenly decide the series does not need a new Pokemon character." - Source Link
GX in particular seems to be getting the brunt of the craziness on Twitter for the time being, seemingly because they haven't dissected the leak enough. I can't speak for them, but if I had to guess the discourse around this whole topic is enough for them, and if they all agree its fake, a lengthy discussion video without a counterpoint would be a bit boring, IMO. I've seen tweets aimed at people all over the industry that don't support the leak claiming they've said all manor of stuff, or are in Nintendo's pocket, or are dismissing the leak because Incineroar wasn't in it, when in reality, I don't think anybody has said that. Saying it's weird more people aren't expecting another Pokemon isn't the same thing as saying, "this one very specific Pokemon is in the game and I believe it wholeheartedly."

That thing will always have a full batter so I never have to use another one lol
I'm saying that PSAS was so dominated by tiers that actually playing a match was just a formality.
No way, Banjo looks fantastic the way he is!
Oh no doubt I'm using a gc controller too, even got the new one coming Friday. But for my other games that's my default pro controller lol
I'm the most angry about them crossing off great plateau tower, tbh. Leaving hazards on, the "cave" breaks after a couple hits and is a non-issue, yet this warrants a ban.
Honestly...this might be the game I step up and TO, simply to have a more varied stage list. If salty players don't show up, then good. Let the rest of the community learn stage mechanics like they used to before eSports took the reigns of everything.
I'm going to use Switch Pro controllers just because they're wireless.
That Gamecube dongle with 4 controllers attached to it is a mess of cables that I would love to never touch again.

Nothing is stopping the rest of the community from playing on 75m if they really want to
I can agree with the first part. Saying "woefully incomplete" almost implies a lot of characters are missing. It almost sets my expectations higher.
I hope this isn't overstepping any boundaries, but it sounds like it's a lot of speculation coming from insiders regarding the Grinch leak as opposed to it definitively being fake.
Unless I totally misread this, in which case I apologize.
Yeah, after trying the adapter out with Wii U I think I just wanna adapt to the Pro controller instead.
Yea, it's almost like stages aren't playing in competitive for a reason
I mean, I could understand omitting a Pokémon would be weird from a marketing standpoint, but really, the franchise has by far the three most popular ones as playable already, and a couple more extremely popular. Incineroar would be nice don't get me wrong (Decidueye even better), but I don't think it would have much relevance in the Pokémon community. No kids who play Pokémon today are going to buy the game BECAUSE of him, imho. A DLC of a future Gen 8 Pokémon would probably make more sense, and this "rule" that every Smash game needs to have a new Pokémon playable will be fulfilled.
That's why Imran's reasoning is weird, he says it's fake because there's no Pokémon and that doesn't make sense, not because he knows for a fact a Pokémon is playable. At least Gamexplain has basically confirmed there's going to be one (by their knowledge), Imran's stance simply supposes that and dismisses the leak because of it. Unless he's being cheeky.
Don't go and complain if everyone starts playing only 5 characters out of 75 because only the fast characters will keep up with that much stage variety
The "cave" can get reconstructed after a few cycles, so I don't see that one as anger-worthy as some of the other stages.
It should since the stages are exactly the same in terms of size and shape.
The alterations to colours can cause distractions as certain characters more easily blend into the background of certain stages, giving them an unearned advantage. Hard ban.
Yoko Shimomura might be the best composer. Damn her music makes you want to cry and gives you chills.
Wow, that's certainly interesting that he said it in plural considering we only have Shulk....
You have to remember Smash Ultimate's roster is different from others. For example their picks so far are based on ballot picks rather than "we have to add THIS CHARACTER cause it's a new big IP" of course people could point to Inkling but they're forgetting Inkling is one of the most requested characters for Smash.
Incineroar though? No way. That doesn't fit anything and he isn't really echo-able like Daisy or Ritcher Belmont to be included just because.

The banner itself can be fake while the characters in it can still be in the game.
Even there it's a modest success but nothing crazy. The latest game sold less than 200k there. In the West the popularity is almost non existent it seems. It peaked pretty well with the first game on DS, but since then sales have waned by a lot.
Personally, I found their take on the thing annoying not because of the absence of discussions, but because they outright lie in their update video with horrible explanations. Too blurry? OK, I can get that. That is Banjo in Smashified? Come the fuck on. If they put up a video of 20 seconds saying: "We don't believe this leak to be real because of insider info disconfirming it.", it would be better, instead than coming up with terrible excuses for it and then being all cheeky with their tweets and stuff. I guess the annoying part is that they totally go over the fact that even if the leak is fake, it's well done.
I mean, let's assume they're right, they know the roster, and so they know the leak is fake. Too easy to come out and be like "Come on guys, it's blurry, Banjo looks off, it's obvious it's fake" and make us look like gullible idiots in the meantime.
Especially since only 4 years ago they were the ones going against everyone regarding the ESRB leak. They come off as arrogant. A simple: "Yep, looks good and we understand why you all fell for it, but sorry, we know it's fake for reasons.".
