This is a bigger blow than people are willing to accept. The entire castle island is missing -- there's way too much water. It's not a matter of compression.

Wasn't it already confirmed that the Grinch renders weren't actually unreleased, just previously released renders that were missing or had non-descript added elements?You make some compelling points for sure, but as a graphic and audiovisual designer I can tell you that something like this would take more than "mere hours". Sure, someone could do this for attention and to get their work out there. It worked for the guys who did the Rayman leak. But this dude actually made a completely unrelated Grinch render and he actually produced a wristband with (his) Smash artwork on it which usually are only available to order in large quantities (and thus pretty expensive) if you want custom art printed on it.
And the Snapchat thing could very well be real. I do a lot of work for record labels and I (especially in the early days) have accidentally sent out snaps with unreleased music playing in the background without thinking twice about it. Nothing happened since I only send out snaps to friends, but maybe this guy posted it in his story for everyone to see. For all we know the dude doesn't even know that those characters are unannounced and just wanted to show his friends that his company was printing Smash related merch.
So, you're calling multiple people on this, some of which who post on this forum, straight up liars.So the super sleuths can't find anything super damaging to the credibility of this leak yet the insiders are saying its fake.
This is going to sound like I'm joking but humor me for a second.
It almost sounds to me like Nintendo put in an extra precaution just in case things leaked as they have today. Insiders and press were given info on what was said to be the final roster by Nintendo themselves. In doing so "leakers" connected to the press could reveal what they assume is everything and there would still be surprises for everyone. If the real full leak ever did get actually leaked(as it did today) the Insiders would band together saying its fake which would temper expectations of the general Smash going public.
Tell me that aint a perfect set up to keep peoples hype in check and still manage to surprise us all? Only thing is it seems like most of us aren't buying what the insiders are selling.
This just seems way too real. I mean once again Dixie was cut. How much more proof do you need?
I'll be the first to admit that a LOT of it is impossible to definitively say is changed because of the image quality. But some things, like the missing castle, the cut off waterfall, and the shape of some of the crystals, can't be explained away with the image quality.
I'd put Isabelle as higher priority than Incineroar honestly. Isabelle is an extremely popular character, while Incineroar is a Pokemon rep, he's not particularly popular outside of being a starter.A possibility is that their Incineroar source had early info and was confident that Incineroar was in the game and leaked him with Simon and Isabelle then it turned out that the most likely of the three somehow got cut
i think the idea is they're being used by nintendoSo, you're calling multiple people on this, some of which who post on this forum, straight up liars.
Cause that's what you're saying, they're deliberately lying to cover for Nintendo, which is basically saying they have no integrity
I dunno, it is Paris games week for the next week and this printer is in FranceNo events left that a wristband makes sense
If its just promo materials why the extremely low res, also unlikely they would give promo materials out before final reveals due to obvious leaks
Jigglypuff easy to shop because its so blurry. In fact with the small image size the whole thing is easy to shop.
Easy to impersonate media with simple google/linkedin searches
Grinch might be the only actual leak, a red herring, or just another fake.
Outside of Banjo and Ken the list looks like a "fanboy" wet dream wishlist for a bunch of dead characters practically nobody cares about. Even Banjo is practically a dead franchise at this point. There are tons of way bigger characters than this leak.
Past fake leaks have been more elaborate than this
There is lots of reasons to be skeptical, but it can't be disproved either because it's so blurry.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the Echoes
Daisy was enough for me
I don't need a single player
with awful unbalanced bosses
Sakurai won't make me happy
With yet another Subspace
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
not even for unique Dorf
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Like Ridley grew down two stores
I won't make a list and send it
To Nintendo for Dixie
I won't even stay awake for
4chan threads in need for clicks
'Cause I just want you here tonight
maining you, smile in sight
What more can I do?
Cause baby all I want for Christmas is you
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
You, baby
Does it look better? Again, I have to ask, does it not seem suspicious that for all the big differences you could point out between the two, it's always that details have been removed in the leak without anything being added? Keep in mind that a lot of these details can't even be seen once the mural is covered in characters. I'm not saying that it's impossible that they went in and simply removed a select few major details without adding anything to it, but what reason would they have for that?It could easily be explained away as an artistic choice. They're clearly willing to move characters around on the banner. Why not be willing to remove a castle if it looks better?
Er... they're speculating that insiders were deliberately given false info, not saying that insiders are willingly lying.So, you're calling multiple people on this, some of which who post on this forum, straight up liars.

I don't know about that. I haven't read all of the pages in the thread tbh.Wasn't it already confirmed that the Grinch renders weren't actually unreleased, just previously released renders that were missing or had non-descript added elements?

I'm more expecting a Gematsu situation more than them getting deliberately false info. That seems a touch much even for NintendoEr... they're speculating that insiders were deliberately given false info, not saying that insiders are willingly lying.
That goes from 26-30I dunno, it is Paris games week for the next week and this printer is in France
90 pages in less than a day? Slacking. Thought'd it be 100 by now.
When is that event happening again?I dunno, it is Paris games week for the next week and this printer is in France
Literally only 4 of those characters are younger than 10 years old (and one of them is technically older than that).It is definitely a decent mix of classic, modern and fan favourite requests.
Yuuup.That goes from 26-30
wouldn't these characters need to be announced already?

...Well, this tactic isn't unheard of. Paramount, Hasbro and Micheal Bay did something similar for the Transformers movie series. But even then this sounds too far outlandish to be true.So the super sleuths can't find anything super damaging to the credibility of this leak yet the insiders are saying its fake.

Yeah, plans change during development all the time, and there's no real way to pinpoint how up to date leaked information is.I'm more expecting a Gematsu situation more than them getting deliberately false info. That seems a touch much even for Nintendo
why would that be for before launchCause its not a wristband this guy is designing marketing for.
For smash and grinch theyre signs you hang from the ceiling. Isnt that obvious by the diagrams in the leak?
Just a reminder that the most plausible scenario is Incineroar was seen by insiders some months ago, but has since but cut or rescheduled for post-launch content.
I genuinely don't think they would be able to see Incineroar especially that early.That is possible. Maybe insiders saw Incineroar and assumed base roster?
I dunno but it looks striking similar to the mario odyssey one.
Both versions of battlefield would wrap around it.
yeah, that makes a lot of sense. that sounds like it would be used for something that happens after the characters are revealed to the public anyway.I dunno but it looks striking similar to the mario odyssey one.
Both versions of battlefield would wrap around it.
Well then I don't know what I'm talking about......but the background has already been reused and edited officially.
Well it would be weird for them to have wristbands of a minuscule roster. It seems more likely that something like this is for a display like that
This guy is saying his source said Banjo Kazooie is real and he trusts his source.
