both these things are true.

If you are going to be an "insider", then spill what you have and deal w/ what may come but don't carrot stick everyone around on some "I know something but won't say" shit. That annoys people because you are ,intentionally or not, lording this info over people's heads...no one likes that.

But also don;t be an asshole to said "insider" even if they are wrong...its just games at the end of the day.

Basically be better to each other and all of this could be a lot more fun rather than the weird antagonistic shit it has been.
are we both siding this for real?

also the insiders are trying to calm your expectations so you guys dont fall for the fake leak (in the event it is). its on you for assuming insiders had some ill intent with this shit

Emily, Imran, etc. have all been perfectly fine in the way they've handled telling us information. Nothing they've done has warranted the absolute shit behavior they've had to deal with

I actually agree it's generally better to not say anything if you're genuine. I mean I love juicy tidbits but it's better to say nothing than, "I know something but I cant tell you..."
In this case it was mostly a "I can't get into specifics, but there are inconsistencies with this banner and information I know about the roster". There wasn't teasing or dangling of a carrot.

Accepting that the Grinch Leak may be fake, how much of the leak has been confirmed fake? I've seen people throw about only Ken was legit on the leak, but I'm wondering if all the insiders proclaimed something didn't add up because like... only one or two characters from it didn't make sense? Do we know anything concrete in that regard yet?

I believe thus far that Ken is the only confirmed character, and the other characters are in the air.

Different insiders have different sources of information, and there can naturally be inconsistencies because they won't all align 100%. But enough insider information has come out to suggest that, aside from Ken, there's a very, very low chance any of the other characters from the Grinch banner are playable and a couple of them are probably Assist Trophies instead.

You just have to wait and see how it plays out, just like the rest of us do.

Not gonna lie. I got pretty soured on how bad this community became after the leak.

Even affected us here. And by us, I mean most of the frequent posters, not drive by posters that came during the huge leaks and direct moments.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info. I'm definitely psyched for tmrw, if for no other reason than it can allow me to relax again lol.

I'm away for a couple hours and I already feel out of the loop in regards to expecations. Lots of hints, lots of implied deconfirmations, some inconsistencies.

I think I'm just going to go into the Direct expecting Ken, Fire Pokémon and ???

Glad I stopped discussing whether the leak might be true or not, today some really fake Banjo "leak" got out and was shared on Twitter, I explained that this fake could be done by anyone with 2 minutes time through the inspect element function. Basically the first reply was "And who are you?" Like... nevermind, post blew up moments after and got swarmed with people immediatly believing Banjo is in.

Enough internet for me today, I'm not going to let this kind of tensity ruin the awesomeness that will be tomorrow's Direct, with or without highly requested character. 40 minutes of new content, blow me away I'm ready.

Try to go in with Ken/Incineroar/Nintendo rep/Square rep at least. That's the safest assumption based on what we know

Come on you guys seriously aren't going to resent Banjo based on all of this right? Like that's a little unfair all things considered.

Oh well if toxic fanbases is enough to keep characters out of Smash then Ultimate failed by giving us Ridley, and K Rool.

I think the only insider that was like that was Verge and maybe Liam, I don't remember any of them here acting like that. I am pretty sure Verge is the reason for the Inciniroar hate as well.
Nah, Incineroar, if it does happen, is just a weak choice overall. He isn't nearly as popular as previous Pokemon additions to the game and doesn't seem like a character type that might add something unique either. Yes, Greninja was chosen before his popularity was known, and his Smash presence might have played into his popularity, but the generation is ending now, so if Sakurai did pick Incineroar it seems like it was a misfire in this case.

There is always the 'pretend to be guessing and never claim otherwise while people notice your insanely good 'intuition' for the game" route. Doesn't work for anyone whose name is already out there, but could save others some pain.
