(Rumor) New Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character potentially leaked via a screenshot
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
I fully believe Ken is gonna be in.
However I'm gonna go with Team Fake for now because things look off. And while everyone's comparing it to the Palutena "leak", I'd say the Smash Bros port "leak" with Bowser Jr. is a better comparison point.
All of that said, I'll concede that this is very well done if fake and I'll have no problems eating this L if it's true.
Because of all of the Echo Fighter ideas Ken is one of the simplest to implement, on par with Shadow.

They were literally the same body with a different head in any of the 2D games.
The two main things that throw me off are the pose, which looks too posed to be a taunt, and the noticeably heavier shading on his chest and abs. Other than that, the gi, the face, even the hair texture works.
That makes the fact that his clothes are 100% un torn here kind of odd.
They are different materials. Look at Pac-Man's leathery glove, it's shaded similar to Ken's leathery face (no offence, Ken).
Idk m8. I havent watched too many fake leaker documentraies, but i cant imagine the mindset is "Yea...I wanna be known as the guy who made people believe ken was in smash....when ken was actually in smash, but not revealed yet. LEGENDARY FAKE!". Like seriously, that photo is alot of work for something so pointless
I'm expecting a surprise twist if it is Ken, just like with the Simon announcement. It won't only be Ken, but Akuma as well.
Also everyone remember how far fans can go with making fakes. Never forget Rayman.

Haha I have been defending it quite a bit I'll admit
I just love to get very Sherlock Holmes on leaks like this, and all of the evidence I've come up with so far lands on the "team real" side
I wish had the 3D modelling expertise to fake something like this
Your pleas for fealty have moved me.
Good work man you've totally convinced me.
To people who think a picture of Ken is too mundane for someone to really leak, what do you think of this?:
His SFIV model is much more primitive than this. Look up how he looked like back then - or hell - check out his Smash 4 trophy. This one's remarkably different.
Another thing - in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, portraits go semi-transparent when a character is underneath them
Pac-Man is underneath Ken's in the leak.
Additionally, this has been a thing since Brawl.
Any other nuggets of obvious wisdom you want to send my way with completely unnecessary condescension or do you think you're done for now?
I mean, who cares if its real or not.
But people love faking this crap. Why Ken though? Such a boring choice to fake lol.

I know. I'm not talking about the model, just referring to the design.
I mean, he's not wrong. Ken is just an echo, there's reasons why he would get in over Chun Lee, especially since he's a third party character.
Something that was brought up earlier in the DT is the possibility that this was based on a much older build (based on how several of the displayed portraits have shifted between demos/presentations and certain incongruities with character art that we know of). This might be another point in favor of the leak.
Interesting thing about that is the fact that even in this version, Pichu's icon is aligned differently on the right side than it was in the actual Direct, so whoever did this didn't just copy paste a frame from existing footage or anything. They would've had to have a decent resolution picture of Pichu's old render which was never made public as far as I'm aware.

Things like this are why its exasperating so many people come in just to say "fake" without elaborating
Too much doesn't add up for it to be a simple photoshop job

Do we know if rabbids are going to be in this game? Anything is possible with the ubi-nintendo partnership that gave us Mario v Rabbids
I'm gonna say it's legit. No argument I've read itt or otherwise has actually disproved it beyond saying the shading looks weird when from all I can see not only does the shading look accurate if perhaps unfinished but that really just looks like a model in a game full stop. If it's fake, it's a fake model someone inserted into a 3D scene but everything else from that 3D scene looks accurate enough or can be explained through different builds.
Huh... Well dang maybe it is real. Yeah I'm definitely leaning towards real.
It's amazing these ultra small details people are able to pick apart. Legit P.I.'s in our presence.
Yeah it has seemed likely since the second Daisy was shown. Now show me X as a MegaMan echo.
Disappointingly real. Oh well, at least he's just an echo, so not many resources were wasted on making him happen.
I hope Smash Ultimate adds a random character toggle option like they have for stages.

Wanna give some reasoning as to why you think so or just gonna say that, cuz plenty of evidence points to it being quite real.
Fair, I am usually the same but this just gets too many things right.
Though it may not have always been reflected in the sprites, it was one of the main differentiating features between them in official art.
