I think sometimes they were correct but then some changes happens and they are seems as liars when something they wanted to prove was not in there anymore (that's my theory)
Tsmite mmmm that was easy to fake, the switch had already been home brewed, but the 3ds wasn’t modded enough to have new characters in an unreleased game lmao
I’m not sure why people try to discredit leaks by saying “This render looks like X render from X game” when some renders from Smash 4 are direct references to poses from the games like Sheik’s render being that criss cross pose she does with her arms when she transforms. Even if that weren’t the case, 90% of the renders are them just standing there. How many different ways do you want the characters to stand ?
yooo I remember this leak, I thought it was fake because of Doctor Mario and thought it would've been a shame since Duck Hunt sounded like a cool concept of a character.. glad to have been wrong
I found it and told my ex and his brother about it. They didn't believe it. Fast forward to 4's release, they started raving about it as if THEY found it.
For me, it was the opposite. I thought it was fake because of Duck Hunt (more specifically, the name just being "Duck Hunt") and I was hoping it would be real because I wanted Dr. Mario back in Smash.
I remember coming home from school and seeing people freaking out about this leak 5 years ago. Man Smash 4 looks like a beta game compared to Ultimate.
Looking back I am reminded of how this inspired parts of the Artsy Omni Rayman leek. Like how he took down the video to make people think Nintendo got him. Those smash 4 days were wild times
I’ll never forget seeing this leak back then and honestly, a part of me really thought it was real at the time. It’s a good thing that nothing like this happened when Ultimate dropped.
SmashBlaster 1-Up He lost his job too and got sued. Idk about you, but that’s not that worthwhile after leaking one of the most hyped up games of the early 2010’s.
That Leak really gave me memories, I was pissed when the roster was leaked and I was questioning where Mewtwo was before Nintendo released the 50 fact extravaganza.
Ah yes the ESRB leak, back when I was in middle school and just got introduced to Etika. It feels like it just happened yesterday, but no, it's been 5 damn years since it all went down. The years just fly by faster and faster by the day. R.I.P Etika :(
Same!!! Ekita’s videos on smash and the leaks are some of the reasons why i got really into, i actually gotten into a lot games like fire emblem because of him. Rip Ekita, gone too soon. :(
I'm kinda annoyed at this ESRB worker. They've got an important, respected position, and they chose to you use it for some attention. Separately, to think that Smash 4 popularized the genre seems odd, but makes sense given what we know. Really, Smash started as a spinoff!
I'm sure the idiot from 4chan who superimposed Shulk over Little Mac and really made it a point that Shulk's portrait was a literal badly edited Little Mac is probably cringing at his own stupidity each time he sees this being brought up.
I remember GameXplain calling this leak fake for a lot of reasons, one being the fact that Wario’s arm extends past the portrait /thumbnail into Game and Watch
This leak killed a lot of the hype I had for the game. My favorite things in the previous Smasg games to do was figuring out who were the hidden newcomers, along with seeing which veteran came back. The hype luckily came back after they revealed as a surprise that Mewtwo was coming back. Even The Grinch Leak was fake, I didn’t look at the internet within the final months of Ultimate’s release. I learned to stay away from Smash related content before a Smash game drops.
Honestly, I don't know why people leak games. Game developers hate it when that happens, because they want to surprise people, and that element of surprise is gone once leaked footage goes live online. I mean, whatever happened to waiting for the official reveal?
I can think of two reasons: 1) people are impatient and want to know info as soon as possible. Like a child who can't keep a secret. 2) sometimes there's important info that the devs are hiding and people want others to have that info (like the case with the amount of pokemon cut from sword and shield).
Aaronitmar: a ton of you probably weren’t around when this leak was at its prominence Me: do not recite the deep magic to me witch. I was there when it was written!
Not leak related but all this talk about building up hype for an at the time soon to be released Smash game makes me think of Smash Mail. I wonder if anyone here remembers or even knew about it. Basically it was a Rock Paper Scissors style game that you picked one of 3 attacks and sent it via email to a friend to respond. This was in the run up to Melee and I didn’t have a GameCube at the time but I loved playing it with my increasingly annoyed school friends. Basically my earliest memory of Smash and part of the reason I got a GameCube to begin with.
No one is going to believe me, and thats fine. I am the origin of shulk is photoshop little mac. I originally actually posted it to tumblr, my now deleted account with the last url of it being "ilovegerome" i believe. I found the little mac pic and made the original comparison gif and pics. It got reuploaded to 4chan after about...1000 notes? Due to this, i really never got credit and i cannot find the post anymore due to that.
I found it! kiyoteruv4x.tumblr.com/post/95243243212/nquetzl-arcana-aesthetic-something-about/amp it was actually a different account of mine, older than i thought. This is the original post, and i guess i had that arcana url at some point? Now it leads to a different blog thats not mine. The kiyoteru one is my old blog... Dont look long. But yeah, here you go
We have a few logical speculations on who it could be or what series. 2 of the series that I have seen the most commendable possibly for is the "Tales of series" and "Xenosaga/Xenogears" since they both have had several different leaks from different sources. The Tale of series looked to have it series Icon leaked and Lloyd Irving seemed to be the most heard name as well. Also from the Xenosaga/Xenogears games a recent video of someone who did a KOS-MOS mod over ZS Samus was taken down and flagged by Nintendo even though many other videos with modded characters were left alone.
@@kylewood4488-b9r Lloyd was heard as NOT being it by all the "respectable" leakers, and there's still several KOS-MOS mod videos still up on UA-cam so this one person could just be trying to copy ArtsyOmni's strategy he did to push his Rayman leak and took it down themselves like he did and claiming Nintendo did it otherwise why would Nintendo only go after this one specific video and not other KOS-MOS mod videos?
This was the first leak I ever saw and I was kinda skeptical considering how back then duck hunt would be impossible to come up with a move set for them
I remember this leak so well. I was on break at the grocery store I worked at whenever this leak dropped. After I got off I went to a friend's house and was like HOLYSHIT LOOK AT THIS. Glad we both believed it.
One thing you forgot to mention (but I don't blame you since almost everyone don't know) was how the same informations from the text leak were first posted on Smashboards on the "leaks and rumors" thread way before the images came out by a user (I believe his nickname was ninja kiwi or something along those lines) who directly knew the esrb leaker. Nobody of us believed that user, especially since he didn't describe it really well (he said the koopa clown car was a mario kart or something) but everything matched perfectly in the end. PS: it'd be really cool if next you talk about the gematsu leak from Smash4 (which I believe to have been true but outdated) or the mewtwoking leak from Brawl which turned out to be true.
For some reason I always remember Shulks trailer being uploaded outside a direct with the video title including some sort of line like "You saw this coming" or something similar, worded in a way to say that they were disappointed in the fact it got leaked without saying it. I could be wrong and remembering things wrong but I just remember that so clearly.
I still remember thinking that it had to be fake because of Duck Hunt because I didn’t know what they would do with the Dog and Duck duo until Japan got Smash 3DS first and I was quite hyped
I actually hadn't been "big" into the Smash Community at the time outside of playing Brawl tournaments in the local college town I was in, so the ESRB leak actually flew waaaay under the radar for me at the time, I guess I can consider myself lucky at the time. I was just looking forward to playing Smash on my 3DS.
Could it be possible that Shulk’s model was created by Little Mac’s? The Smash developers usually rely on reusing models as a means of getting a character in faster, so that could explain the resemblance.
I had to avoid this leak like crazy until I got the 3DS version a day after its American and European release. It felt tempting to see the full roster before release, but I was able to avoid looking at the leak in the end. It was frustrating to avoid spoilers back at the day.

This leak is wild in hindsight mostly because, it may have had something to do with people believing the Rayman that happened a few months after the game’s release because this ESRB leak was the last major leak that was going around the internet at the time so the Rayman leak picks up traction and naturally people latch onto it because it was well-made and any argument to debunk it was met with a reminder of the events of the ESRB leak.
