@backup368 I mean, I'm not saying if it's fake or not, but the story is this:
Someone took a Snapchat story video of their workplace for whatever reason, from the little context we have it was apparently an antinintendo rant.
They either sent it out (unknown if it was privately, but presumed so)
One of the people who saw it took screenshots of the snapchat vid, tried to black out the original person's name (and failed to do so) and then posted those screenshots to 4Chan
So because the leak wasn't intentional to be widespread, that accounts for why they aren't clear pictures. The fuzzy banners we've seen were cleaned up by community members from the stills that were posted.
The main reason why I would consider the leak to be fake is because of the amount of newcomers shown in the banner. Sakurai said the new character announcements would slow down. Having that many announced in a little over a month would be speeding up significantly. Unless he just said that to fake us out. I would be satisfied if that leak were real though. All those characters make a lot of sense.
@Cynas But who said all the characters had to be announced before the game's release?
Duck Hunt wasn't revealed before Smash 3DS alongside returning characters like Dr. Mario, for example.
@Cynas I haven't looked at the leak but if it's true, is it possible some are DLC like how Mewtwo was mentioned in the final pre-launch Smash Wii U Direct.
@Grumblevolcano That's possible, but if it's a banner to advertise the game for it's release it seems strange to include DLC characters. Although I guess it could also be future artwork for once the DLC is released, but I can't see it being on the special edition box or advertised in stores if those characters aren't out yet.
I also recall reading somewhere that Sakurai said he wouldn't even think about DLC characters until after the game was released, but I might be wrong about that.
What if he (Sakurai) sort of trolled with his comment about slowing down character reveal trailers. In the sense that there might only be one or two left, but they each reveal multiple characters (rather than character specific trailers).
Not saying the leak is real or not, but given his history it's a possibility.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
The big question about this leak is, assuming it's real, how do they plan to reveal those 7 fighters? Like that's a lot to reveal over the next month.
Wasn't there a rumor a while back about there being 2 Nintendo Directs in November that we all dismissed pretty quickly? Maybe that's actually real. I still find it unlikely that they'd do another general Direct before the end of the year though.
this is the most legit thing since the Metroid and Star Fox crossover game
...ironically this is the game that has crossover of Metroid and Star Fox, but the five of you who remember what I'm referencing got a chuckle, which is what matters
If any Microsoft/Rare characters end up in Smash Ultimate, I could see reveals at X018 happening and it wouldn't be anywhere near as weird as Microsoft E3 2018 having KH3 and Tales of Vesperia.
