It's the logical thing to think.Emily may well be wrong (we're all human), but if she's not it makes no sense that, in her words, the banner that thus far has focused on presenting every playable character in the roster (it's literally the entire shtick of the banner) would exclude multiple playable characters in addition to confusing an assist trophy for a playable character.
Sure, we can formulate theories on why a Nintendo designed, artistically coherent marketing piece would for some obtuse reason not include multiple playable characters and instead others. But if we apply Occam's Razor the most simple, logical reasoning here is that the Grinch leak is entirely fake. It's a clever, well presented fan made fake. Doesn't matter if some stuff aligns with reality, because the stuff most likely to was already hotly rumoured (eg: Ken). The more excuses we need to make for the art banner excluding characters yet including others, despite this being tonally and creatively inconsistent with every update leading up to this moment, the less believable it becomes. Because really, it only takes one thing. Just one; a person with technical and artistic skill (of which there exist many), and a penchant for jokes. That's it. One person out there willing to commit the time and energy to whip up this blurry fake and here we are. It's the simplest reasoning for why it exists, if we are to assume Emily's info is solid (as has been in regards to Directs and Smash in the past), instead of a thousand excuses we need to intertwine just to make both the Grinch leak and Emily equally coherent.
Reality is they're probably mutually exclusive. Grinch leak is fake. There's no Banjo, Isaac, Mach Rider, Chorus Kids, Geno, or Shadow. There might be Ken as that's an old rumour. And Incinerour is probably in too.
when you see this list of icons it's truly remarkable that Shovel Knight made the cutFrom what I understand the third party ATs work as:
- One per series (Knuckles, Grey Fox, Alucard, The Ghosts, Zero, Rodin)
- One IP not represented (Bomberman, Rathalos)

Maybe he's including him as an AT again, because he's requested. If he didn't want to include him as a fighter, he'd be giving fans something.Isaac can't possibly be an AT, would make no sense to remove him and then re-introduce him as AT, when he's one of the most requested by fans.
They removed the likes of Mr Resetti and Jill Dozer and people have highly requested they return as ATs. Nothing wrong with ATs.Isaac can't possibly be an AT, would make no sense to remove him and then re-introduce him as AT, when he's one of the most requested by fans.
Please no Chun-Li... I want her playable :<I'm surprised Street Fighter has no sort of assist trophy. You think they'll show one off if Ken gets revealed? I hope it's Chun-Li or Zangief.
Chun-Li AT revealed with Ken. Ryu, Ken, and Chun do a group pose at the end of that trailer.I'm surprised Street Fighter has no sort of assist trophy. You think they'll show one off if Ken gets revealed? I hope it's Chun-Li or Zangief.

Agreed. It can't be met halfway.
The 'Grinch' banner presents itself as the following:
Would a marketing firm forget to include multiple characters in a banner?
- The final Day 1 roster (not including future DLC)
- A portrait of *only* playable characters (no assist trophies included in the banner.)
Would a marketing firm accidentally confuse an assist trophy for a playable character?
Just some food for thought.
Yeah but as ATs. Issac clearly has alot of demand to be in as a fighter.They removed the likes of Mr Resetti and Jill Dozer and people have highly requested they return as ATs. Nothing wrong with ATs.
It would be funny that the real thing to come out of this leak is potentially getting 7 characters.Mach Rider is likely the AT imo
Geno is in
Incineroar is in
Isaac is in
Shadow is in
Ken is in
Chorus Kids out
Banjo out
Steve is potentially in
It's the other way around.
a vision of HellMach Rider is likely the AT imo
Geno is in
Incineroar is in
Isaac is in
Shadow is in
Ken is in
Chorus Kids out
Banjo out
Steve is potentially in
Literally the darkest possible timelineMach Rider is likely the AT imo
Geno is in
Incineroar is in
Isaac is in
Shadow is in
Ken is in
Chorus Kids out
Banjo out
Steve is potentially in
Eh I think if they're an assist it means Sakurai couldn't get them working as a fun fighter so it'd be fine.I think I'd rather have Chorus Kids missing than an assist trophy
Chun-Li for sure, and Bison will be a boss.If there's a SF AT, I'm thinking either Chun Li or Akuma. Hopefully the former, though.
The character was wanted since a lot of time and one of te only potential highly requested new Metroid rep.
Geno only ever has been a Mii costume.
Announcement today for Thursday. If not today, tomorrow for Thursday.So are we expecting an announcement for Thursday or possibly even a drop today?
I know right? That's so refreshing and actually makes me more excited to see what's next.If the leak is fake, at least we're not resigned to fucking Kencineroar according to Emily.
Or you know, simply her and others are just wrong and it's real, those are the final 7, and Incineroar is either cut or DLC. You are putting way to much stock into insider claims, especially when she is not nearly the first person to make those claims.
Mystic said everything she did first and he went back and forth on what he thought was right constantly before his company fired him yesterday.
Additionally people said ESRB was fake due to not having Mewtwo and Lucas, yet it was right and they were also right, just as DLC
Travis Touchdown enters the ranks!There's going to be a wild card. Someone nobody put much thought into.
Shit, that happened? Hope he lands on his feet...Mystic said everything she did first and he went back and forth on what he thought was right constantly before his company fired him yesterday.
Vaati as a Zelda echo baybee, let's goThere's going to be a wild card. Someone nobody put much thought into.
We have a presumably leaked screenshot of Ken as a fighterWould be hilarious if Ken was an assist trophy the whole time.

I want to say no one has confirmed that's real yet but Ryce inadvertently confirmed it real. He said the Grinch roster practically didn't resemble the roster and when people brought up Ken he emphasized the practically. So yeah that's the best evidence for that being real.
That's a big fake
I think Isaac is AT but yeah I can definitely see that happening if he gets in. They're both in, trailer would be so hype.The trailer will reveal Isaac and Geno at the same time
I can already feel it
