You mean they create a fake leak that's exciting and end on Incineroar and someone else as final surprise anyway? Great marketing there
There are several things we don't know (for sure). My doubts are:do we? that french website just said they knew the company is working for Namco
This post gets Stan's useless seal of approval. F@#$ing dimensionists, where do they all come from.

What are the wrist bands for? We don't know of any event that might be held to warrant this. I doubt they'll be handed down to customers who buy Smash at launch, it's just a piece of paper.
Holy hell its even blurrier than I thought. It looks like somebody intentionally censored the character portion of the wristband.
Fake, fake, fake, and a big pile of FAKE!
At least I can leave the woodchipper outta here it's super heavy
The Rayman fake has absolutely nothing on this. That was merely a Splash Screen graphic + character select screen image fake that everyone and their mom jokingly makes or has made since Melee. The reason that thing was remotely believable was the original Rayman render.
This? This goes further beyond that. Way beyond the amount of time something like the above takes.
This has ESRB leak written all over it to me, to be honest. It's practically the same scenario.
Now now, i'm also trying to lower my expectations, but to have delusional blind faith on a Smash leaker? Seriously, Vergeben is no Gematsu, he has some stuff wrong and has provided much less evidence than this leak right here.I'm on team fake because of no Incineroar. It's not just conjecture. This leak has a ton going for it? Well, so does Vergeben who has gotten nothing wrong as of yet in regards to Smash. I'm going to believe a proven, credible leaker over a blurry image that's probably the work of a very lonely neckbeard with too much time on his hands who wanted to create an elaborate leak for the sake of the lulz. Not to mention that, yes, this looks like a wishlist. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be smart, everyone. The most credible combo we have at this point is Vergeben (gotten nothing wrong about Smash) and box theory (official material released by Nintendo).
Book it: the final two base roster characters are Ken and Incineroar, with a Square Enix two as the first DLC (possibly free to those who have purchased online, Mewtwo style).
What's Music Theory? Besides an AP exam I didn't take? Lol.Box theory is just silly, Music theory is ironically more believable.
Oddly this made me laugh hard.
To be honest, Mach Rider is kind of a random pick.
Most of the other retro characters we've gotten since Melee weren't just added for the sake of it. Pit got in because he was hella popular, R.O.B was included because of his importance to the NES' history, and Duck Hunt got in as a rep of the Light Gun Series. Mach Rider kind of feels like a random "throw a dart at a board" pick.
Yeah, this is pretty much where I stand.
People went through some amazing mental gymnastics to deny the ESRB leak. Little Mac's face being plastered over Shulk's face is in the Smash leaks HoF because till this day I still do it on the character select screen of Smash 4 and laugh to myself.
Right now, nothing has been able to 100% debunk this and we are 65 pages in. It can still be an amazing fake of course, but I'm gonna have to ride on this more than the word of insiders for now. They miss far more than they land, although, I won't deny their cred entirely, and I respect them not completely outing what they hear from their sources.

Someone on Reddit pointed out that the company isn't stated to work on NBC or Illumination who are making the Grinch movie. So why the hell would they choose the Grinch to make a fake leak come from a marketing firm if there wasn't any knowledge on them working on it before this leak?

Nah, to prove it real, you'd need every character proven because even if one character was wrong then it would still be a fake. The burden of proof is always against leaks.I guess all it takes for one of these to be confirmed soon and it's all over.

Mach Rider is HAL Laboratory, and Sakurai has been working on an undisclosed new project since Kid Icarus Uprising. If he's in like Pit was in Brawl then I'd guess we are getting, of all things, a new Mach Rider game.Could it be that Mach Rider is going to come to the online program offerings? And maybe you can share your custom stuff online with friends? I mean it seems flimsy but you never know.
I think everyone should give up on this leak. Too many insiders are against it. Just go back to box Theory talk -.-

A blurry image and an incredible number of specific, verifiable details, though.
I don't doubt that there's other information out in the wild that some people ("insiders") are privvy to, but is it good information? And if so, what in the world have we been discussing all day? An elaborate hoax?

So much of that is weak.
"So the main thing is the amount of effort this fake leaker must have gone for all the little details but that doesn't really prove anything".
Uhh, what?

The fact that this person is said to have worked at bandai namco but is somehow showing off Nintendo's promotional art is definitely weird. Namco wouldn't be responsible for any promotional items.
