Banjo-Kazooie, Golden Sun, Mach Rider, and Rhythm Heaven's trademark's have all been renewed this year. Very very interesting.
Not Friendly Name Specifically golden sun has had its trademark renewed three years early.
Actual evidence as opposed to team fakes "uhh the backgrounds different" OMEGALUL
Not Friendly Name Banjo Kazooie even says they’re partners with Nintendo now.
Rusty where at?
Not Friendly Name the banjo renewal was probably for the merchandise released
*”Now here’s a twist!” Said the Santa Imposter, and with a flick of his wrist, he leaked the whole roster!*
LoL
Someone in the discord should make “How the Grinch Stolen Christmas: Smash Ultamite Edition”
I’m talking new characters and writing, all the works
@@airship46n and then an live action movie
@@airship46n there was an excellent copypasta about this
@@spaceinky3628 then make a wierd animated movie for Gen z toddlers
I've been subscribed for a few weeks, and I gotta say:
I admittedly thought you were yet another half-baked smash leak news channel the first time I saw your videos in my recommended, but when I started to watch your videos, I realized that your content is lightyears above all of that. Thanks for being a "leak" channel that I can actually enjoy.
Horribly written comment, but you get the idea.
thsank you! it was written fine look at my typo right there...im not changing it haha
PapaGenos Yeah seriously, ty for not just being another LaxChris
fuck Laxchris
@@pegeta I believe he can do what he wants. Plus it's a good daily channel I can watch as j come home from school. If you hate em dont watch en
Nintendo, using Smash again to promote other franchises. I'll admit though, it worked and I'll certainly be seeing The Grinch now.
Can you imagine if this was all a giant ruse and the only actual character announced at the game awards was the grinch?

THE GRINCH: IS WORSE THAN A SEASICK CROCODILE
I'm right there with you on Team Real man. The circumstances behind this mural reveal pile on top of each other to the point where the leak being fake is actually a more complicated result than if it were real in some way, shape or form.
The thing that gets me personally about the mural itself is the lack of any renders that have been discovered for the characters. This is the internet and most fake leaks when artists create renders, they come forward a day or two later, show off the renders and bam. This hasn't happened yet with the Grinch Leak and given the number of extra details in these renders like Isaac creating grass, the conductor being with the Chorus Kids, Mach Rider's bike, etc, these are such Sakurai-like ideas that I find it hard to believe a random graphic designed thought all these up.
We'll get a lot of people having a go at us for being Team Real, but it's a smash leak and in just over a month the game'll be out, so if we're wrong, we're wrong, it's not the end of the world. We've got valid reasons to believe that this situation is more than it seems after all.

Idk I feel like teamreal is actually the popular opinion to have this time, especially after what happened with smash 4.
Only 41 days!
I love all of you guys videos!!
Billy, Sub here. Loved the Lipsynced video! Keep up the amazing work! #TeamReal #NeedMoreChrono
totally agreed man. and im being legit here, I THINK its likely real (or at least something is definitely up with it, its not another "fake leak") so im expressing that and why i think that. I'm not going to fake being tentative on my videos JUST to not risk credibility or something, id rather be honest and up front with where im at with the leak and explain why im there. IF im wrong so be it but i think its less genuine of me to hold back where im actually at with the leak and everything ive heard.
I am team fake
Banjo and Isaac: Popular in the Smash Ballot. An item from Golden Sun is potentially in Smash, and Microsoft has openly stated that Nintendo is allowed to use Banjo in Smash.
Geno, Chorus Kids, and Mach Rider: Sakurai has wanted these characters since Melee/Brawl. Mach Rider would basically be Ultimate’s retro representative.
Ken and Shadow: The most likely echo fighters. Offer more third party representation.
The characters in the Grinch leak just make too much sense.
Rex From Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Kos mos From Xenosaga going be Dlc
I believe this leak but just saying, Phil Spencer saying he'd like banjo in smash doesn't mean that Nintendo can freely use him. Copyrights, royalties and etc would need to be part of it. Third party characters aren't free
@@nicholuswilliams6443 I can't see KOS MOS being a fighter at all but I can see a duo character of Rex and Pyra for DLC
Ok
@@shayneoliver8825 Actually, Sakurai wanted Banjo in Melee. So yeah, another point in Banjo's favor.
48 minutes?! Time to grab some popcorn!
I’m grabbing frozen yogurt

The serenity realized within this comment is beyond human comprehension. No matter what happens, life goes on.
O shit
This video is still not as disjointed as Cloud’s Up-Air
hehe
Chris Fabian what does disjointed mean?
Jon a disjointed hit box is a hit box disconnected from the characters body
Sakurai: We are now delaying Super Smash Bros until 2019; all newcomers will now have to be purchased for $5.99 each as DLC
Khrom a
I honestly wouldn’t blame him.
Fuck you
100$ for wahluigi
If we got echo fighters would they still be 5.99. If we don’t, RIP OCTOLINGS
"Now here's a strange twist!" Jeered the Santa imposter. And with a flick of his wrist, he leaked the *_WHOLE_* roster!
The kind of grinch comments I'm looking for
He leaked Isaac, Geno, and Banjo too! The Grinch said "They will still don't know if this is false or true!"
Damn y’all can’t come up with original material can you?
Pengo Schwortz No
What’s better than a PapaGenos vid?
Watching a PapaGenos vid and leaving a comment. 👌
You no what's better, PapaGenos leaving a like on set comment
The ‘ironic’ thing from Serebii is I’m almost sure because everyone bashed him for believing a starter evolution leak in Gen 5 Pokemon that ended up being true, and now he’s being bashed for not believing this one. Just wanted to clear that one up
thank you, i only semi-follow serebii and pokemon stuff sometimes

its a great name
@@PapaGenos The Grinch has replaced Goku as the meme ballot pick
The grinch who stole the smash hype
If we don't get the Grinch as DLC I'll be mad.
Zrbrcr I thought that was shrek? People just had this weird hope that Goku would actually make it.
Before you got your source that tells you stuff, you were like Spider-Man with his homemade costume, and now that you have this source, you're like Spider-Man with his Iron Spider suit and with Tony Stark backing him up!
hahaha XD good analogy
Masahiro Sakurai Said No Spider Man
I love how you positioned Sonic Adventure 2 Battle perfectly so it just to shows Shadow. Your background is just as good and unique as always!
Yees
I like how the Leak is called the Grinch Leak
me too haha
How the Grinch Stole Smash Ultimate
So happy I got a long in-depth smash video to listen to on my long drive home from work tonight. Keep doing Master Hands’ work PapaGenos.
Can we please just get a new Direct soon?? I need to know for sure if this leak is real or fake
In all due time my friend. Rumors suggest November so we'll have to wait until then.
I’m gonna laugh if it’s on the 8th.
C’mon Sakurai let’s see you confirm or throw a curveball on this leak, sorry you couldn’t Surprise us the way you wanted to.
November 8 calling it now
“Directs are cancelled cuz y’all don’t know how to behave. Enjoy waiting till December to find out if it’s real or not”
~probably sakurai
19:52 The way Snapchat works is that, if you put a snap in your story, it puts your name in the top left corner of screenshots. That's what's getting blurred out in these two photos, not anything that actually existed in the picture like a nametag or something.
Still doesn't mean anything though. Someone else could have been using Eric's phone to take the video and send it.
Mr. Incredible sees this video's length on his way to the wedding? "I STILL GOT TIME!"

Thanks for the recap !
Seeing a new Papagenos video uploaded which is 48 minutes long = instant like :)
I've been watching your channel for a couple months now, but decided to subscribe a few days ago. You seem like such a nice, caring guy and your quality for your videos is quite great! Keep up the fantastic work, PapaGeno's!
Travelers of the Stars He’s very calm and very chill. He doesn’t over exaggerate too much. PapaGenos is legit! He deserves more and more Subscribes!
The grinch stole the smash roster with a grin on his face
But then Sakurai came in and falcon punched him
Underrated coment. XD
Your game was leaked, Sakurai.
Your hard work has been exposed
Are those reveal trailers worth it if the mural has been disposed
Sakuraaaai.
Someone has revealed your stuff before you right under your nose!
The Gaming Lion if I were to choose between a soggy choirs kid or a Sakurai
I would choose Shrek
Best leak review/speculation video ever 48 minutes worth it
No Shadow
I've been following your content throughout all these exciting leaks Papa, and just love your take on everything! Another awesome vid! #genobias #sassygeno

There should be a scene in The Grinch where he has a gigantic bag of stolen copies of Ssbu...
Ultimate amount of stages!
Ultimate amount of characters!

*super smash voice*
INCREDIBLE!
😂😂
Gai wow!! Incredible!! 😂😂😂👌🏻✌🏻👎🏼☝🏻👋🏻🤜🏼🤞🏻
You're a mean one mr. grinch
PapaGenos the type of game store employee u visit just to hangout n talk. Youre very chill
i did work at a retro game store for 5 years and...yeah thats basically what people did haha
I’m a simple man, I see PapaGenos, I click
starslayer85 same! I didn’t even see that the video was 48 minutes long until I looked at the comments
Exactly
I hope it's real. Geno and Isaac are some of my most wanted characters!
same here
same....I just can't get my head around Chorus Kids though. Everyone else in this "Grinch leak" is among my most wanted fighters but Chorus Kids make no sense at all IMO ( Karate Joe is the face of Rhythm Heaven, the only character to appear in literally every RH game, the first character in the series' first minigame back in the GBA original and he just makes more sense in general ). Geno, Isaac and Banjo & Kazooie though are 3 of my top 5 ( the other 2 after eliminating de-confirmed characters are Shantae and Elma ) while Mach Rider is a classic character from Nintendo whose potential Smash appearance could lead to a reboot like Pit's did for Kid Icarus ( I'm thinking Mach Rider as the Mad Max/Fallout to BotW's Skyrim...open world, post-apocalyptic, customizable bike, maybe even customizing Mach Rider herself )
Would you trade both for slime.
not gonna lie yes i would he's my most wanted by far
but i love the other two
@@thedragovian5722 bro I would do the same dragon quest rocket slime is my literally favorite
48 minutes of papa genos??? 😍
hi
I KNOW RIGHT!
Grab Popcorn, some potato chips and a soda
Fuck yes
I GOT AN AD FOR THE GRINCH MOVIE WTFFFF
yoooooooooooooo haha
11/9/18
Yep...and I watched the whole thing just because of the leak.
Awesome idea: The two characters revealed in one video are Geno and Sora. They meet up kick some butt and then at the end Sora says something like "I'll see you soon, I've got some things I need to take care of first (aka KH3). Geno is in the base roster and Sora is DLC saved for later. That's why Sora isn't in the banner yet. I would lose my crap!
LOL
id love that!
Stephen ormsbee this would be genius
Rex and Isaac Join Smash
Stephen ormsbee then they confirm kh3 for switch
48 minutes? Thought this was GameXplain for a second lol
GenoXplain
Another thing people are saying is that the banner leak is low resolution and has a different background because they need to make it look good on a wrist band. Just a theory. Keep up the good work PapaGenos!
yeah someone on smashboards just showed how to make the background "lose" the missing stuff in the background by simply changing the median filter in photoshop. heres the post its spot on im thinking this is all thats happening with the background now: smashboards.com/threads/smash-ultimate-discussion-warning-spoilers-leaks-ahead.434391/page-6296#post-22601348
PapaGenos I'll look into it, thanks again!
At this rate PapaGenos might not ever have to ask for any newcomer ever again XD Sakurai is a hard working man and he wants t give us the best game yet. PapaGenos i hope if this leak is real that You can thank Sakurai for all the hard work he did. Not like you WERENT gonna do that already =)
When it comes to Smash Ultimate content, I go straight to Papa Genos
The guy I trust for some reason. I respect that he researches hard.
Just a comment loving the background design of each video 👍🏻
Great video ma man, the excitement doesn’t stop
As someone who used to work with printing: if the banner leak is real and if Incineroar is indeed in the game, then the guy responsible for printing of this banner could've just been testing how it looks before placing one more character (Incineroar) onto the design, later another person working at the company just happened to stumble on the print samples and posted them on Snapchat. The only problem is that the Chad Ganondorf goes against Incineroar's inclusion.
Dude. You’re killing it man, I appreciate your hard work and dedication to the leaks!
If it's real, and it's complete, all I want is Skull Kid for DLC. There seemed to be too much pointing to his inclusion in the game in some way.
EchoFlower Productions look below Mach Rider in the artwork. Looks like Skull Kid to me
I don't know why, but i feel like i could listen to you for hours. keep doing what you're doing, and thanks for the great content.
I'm starting to get really confused about this leak. There is a lot going for it and recently against it. I'm just lost haha.
With a flick of his wrist, without any phooey, the fake, green Santa leaked Banjoe and Kazooie
The mural you saw was completely absurd. Did the Grinch just leak the bear and the bird?
If you don't like this leak, you can go take a hike. Our green friend leaked a dude on a bike
And if you still don't like the mural before us, hear a good song, let the Kids lead the Chorus
As we wished upon a star for our hero, this mean and green man leaked a puppet named Geno
If this is true, hang me on a rack, but the Grinch just leaked the hero Isaac
I'll analyze this mural to my hearts content, for the Grinch confirmed an edgy rodent
Finally now, Ken has come home. I mean, he was the first fighting game clone
Now here we are, with our Santa impostor, who has leaked the entire Smash Ultimate roster."
All I need is Banjo and Skull Kid. But Geno for you SMRPG fans. You deserve it.
You're the best uvu
I am also rooting for Banjo-Kazooie, gosh i loved that game and loved Majora's Mask
Thank you, love. We definitely deserve Geno after all these years.
And Banjo & Kazooie’s been due since Melee, they should’ve been in a long time ago. Banjo and Geno in the same game? Holy fuck, that’s a dream come true.
Hopefully Skull Kid is somehow in. I think we do need a new Legend of Zelda rep, and Skull Kid would be perfect. We can have the wooden duo in Smash: Skull Kid & Geno.
Skull kid could be in, below Mach rider it looks like skull kid
I always look forward to your videos. There's just something about your approach to everything that makes your content outstanding. Genuinely enjoy every second!
thank you!
Sees 48mins of good content,
*grabs lubricant*.
You’re the only leak discussing channel I follow Papa, always a pleasure to watch your videos. About 40 days left until the game officially releases. HYPE.
Really enjoyed this one, went from believing the leak to not back to believing it. Hopefully we can get some more longer papa videos on occasion.
Papageno for 48 min? Sign me up!
48 min video🚨🚨🚨 we blessed bois
Damn... i cant believe Sakurai himself contacted Papa to confirm this leak
John from GameXplain predicted Kirby's Epic Yarn as well as the Final Fantasy ports.
that was it! thanks i forgot in the moment there
Well... when you have insider information the best thing to do is to predict it. Then you don't have to even bring up the existence of a source.
Well what going Do
And it wasn’t just a blanket statement of FF ports, he listed exactly which ones got announced as “predictions”. Dudes a wizard or has insider info
@@ThePanionator Gamexplain cleaaarly has a Nintendo insider
Hey Genos I would have commented earlier but I started watching at Midnight and fell asleep. I’m currently touring in the US and I’m from Australia. Been watching since before I left 6 weeks ago to keep tabs on all this. Thank you for actually being real and talking to your subs not hiding behind gameplay and showing us what exactly you’re talking about. Keep up the good work. I’ll keep watching even when I touch down in Australia
Let's face it, this is real. I can't get this outta my head 😐
Lewis Erison neither can I there is so much that supports it too
@@brandonwilliams6119 7 characters. A dream roster 😍😍
@Lewis Erison Same, with the updates yesterday and today, this leak has been in my head throughout this week
@@shadowclonemaster Indeed. Such a dream roster. When Sakurai said we've made the impossible, possible, he meant more than bringing all past veteran fighters back in Smash.
I really really hope it's real. I won't be too disappointed if it's not because we already have so many great characters but banjo has been my most wanted character forever.
I believe Incineroar would be added to Smash Ultimate post launch as free DLC and here’s why. Nintendo has been pushing free post launch DLC for most of their games as of recent, kind of like we saw with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe earlier this year, Mario Tennis Aces with the characters, and Mario Odyssey with its costumes and Luigi Balloon minigame. So having Incineroar as a free downloadable character doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary for Nintendo to do. They can also use Smash Bros as a platform for advertising upcoming games. Maybe Incineroar being announced is a way of announcing an upcoming unannounced Pokémon related project. But that’s just my theory.
I don't think he'd be free DLC. (I do expect some free DLC characters, but I'm anticipating most, if not all, of them to be Echoes.) I think Incineroar is a safe pick for a DLC character, though. There's enough Pokemon characters in the game that the Pokemon fanbase isn't going to be super mad at a lack of new Pokemon rep, and the fanbase is large enough that they will be a popular DLC purchase.
I could see some things being long-term free DLC (I'm not anticipating paid Mii Costumes again, for example, maybe excepting certain third party ones), but I'm expecting most stages and non-echo characters to still be paid. A large number of people will buy them, and most won't be terribly annoyed to do so, so there's little risk and a lot of reward.
I guess the one way I could see Incineroar being free is if he was intended to be part of the main roster, but was delayed for time reasons. (Like the Miiverse stage in Smash Wii U.)
48 minutes? Hot damn looks like I gotta watch this later, lol.
Greenie watching Papa. HYPE.
Hardly ever listen to more than 15 minute videos- you just made me listen to 3 times that much and more. Love the content 🤟🏼
All I want for Christmas is banjo and geno in smash
I just noticed you and billy both have 18k subscribers. That’s actually really cool.
18k club!
48 MINUTES OF PAPAGENOS?
IS THIS HEAVEN???
Hey man, I appreciate that you take the extra effort to look into everything regarding rumors and that you do your research before you release a video. Keep up the good work!
I think that what Nintendo is doing here is sourcing out countless amounts of bait characters within the actual characters so that when a leaker gets their information from insiders they will say different things because they've been given different bait characters, but since they have also heard of another bait character from a neighbour source, they see that this character is also being fed out, and since a new gen 7 rep is inevitable, they trust that Incineroar is in as well as the other bait character with also hearing about real ones. These sources and leakers probably have heard of the banner roster before, but after that banner, they can safely say those aren't bait. I think this has really confused the insiders behind the scenes, and Incineroar was bait all along.
*But hey that's just a theory-*
*SMAAASHH theory!*
Always love your content man! This must've taken a crap load of work but well worth it just to explain everything! You make things so much easier to understand and you make them really interesting to discuss about! Thanks man keep up the great work!
Also dont let people get to you about being click baity or whatever your content is amazing and legit.
*ESRB GRINCH INTENSIFIES*
Recently found your channel, been a Nintendo fan my whole life and I've wanted Banjo in since forever, and with Geno, Isaac, and the others that's just icing on the already delicious cake!. This leak looks so promising, thanks for your work on this vid, you get the point over nicely. (And thanks for not cussing, lol just a personal quirk I have.)
thanks for the vid papa
This is by far the best Smash speculation/leak channel on UA-cam. Your videos are never clickbait, and always display a genuine effort to ascertain the truth. Thanks for creating such fantastic content! I hope you’ll stick around and continue after the game comes out!
quality>quantity
You're the best papagenos,I can't wait to see where your channel goes after Smash speculation season.
man dude, you're just a pro at this,
Joshparker64YT man dude lmao
This is why I subscribed, absolutely nailed every point I had with the grinch leak.
Plot twist:
His Microsoft source is Phil Spencer himself
I've been with you since the mach rider video and you are probably the best smash channel out there! It's been great watching your channel grow and riding the hype train with you. Thanks, and #teamreal
I'd also like to point out PapaGenos' fitting outfit for the occasion. Rocking that classic thief attire looooool.
Genos set up on the left is genius
Mario RPG-Geno
Banjo Kazooie- Kanjo Kazooie
Pokemon sun- Incenoraor
Golden sun- Isacc
Sonic Aventure 2- shadow
Mach Rider- Mach Rider
Your amazing
Thanks Papa
I was looking away from the screen when you brought up the prequel meme, so I didn't see it coming at all. That got me laughing HARD. Bravo, good sir.
My thoughts
I don't care if it's real as long as we get Banjo Kazooie, Geno and Isaac!!!
+Jack Webb I just want my banjo and kazoo out of the three.
Honestly it seems so real and I've wanted Banjo-Kazooie for so long that I don't know if I'd be able to handle the dissapointment. But then again, I've handled it for the past 10+ years ;-;
Honestly same... I LOVE Geno, Banjo is a awesome character from my childhood, and Isaac although I've never played Golden Sun I think would be an awesome fighter for Smash
chorus kids will be an interesting character so will mach rider fighting on a motorcycle 24/7 and having three characters in 1 are totally new concepts I mean we have bowser jr and ice clovers who are close but not the same
@@rezahydra Wait...Did Papi Geno say Banjo Gonna be a DLC Character 😰 or was just a rumor that Banjo is DLC Cause im alittle bit afraid
18k and counting... love this man.
My school is going crazy with these leaks
My friend even photoshopped his own.
Banjo is going to be my main
No he's mine!
Noo mine
Oh my a 48 minute video. I need to drop everything to watch this. Papa takes priority
What if the original text leak was the one that “ruffled some feathers” at Nintendo? The one with all the “Fucks”
Great video and you've talked about interesting stuff, especially in the end when you related those 3 pictures to the new players, I personally was saying the exact same thing (except the robot picture because I never saw it). As always, great job, buddy :D keep up the good work!
*So early this was private lol.*
I really appreciate how in depth you went. I'm still on the fence but you brought up some good points.
Love the thumbnail!! 👍🏽👍🏽
My favorite thing about leaks is whenever a big leak like this comes out pointing towards characters then like every leak becomes those same characters. Like how when vergeben said any leak that doesnt have Ken and incenroar is fake. And isabelle and Simon. Like I've seen tons of leaks on 4chan and stuff now all saying these exact characters trying to act real. I hate that people do that..
Here's something that no one has talked about. What if Incineroar is a character issued as a special offer via Nintendo Switch Online and the only way to access him is by having the Online Service, and it would be announced at a later date after the next Smash direct?
Willem Jones THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE 🤯
I met if it is a DLC character it makes sense not to have it on a physical banner even if it’s revealed during the same event and on the regular banner since it’s not in the base game.
I don't think that would go down well
Oh!
Hey Papa, you mentioned the theory I came up with about the mural in reverse!! Even though you didn't say my Smashboards handle (It's PhilosophicAnimal btw), its just so cool to see my favorite UA-camr mention something I said...😁 Thanks!
I think the Grinch leak is too "real" to be fake. Especially with all the evidence we have right now. At this point there haven't been anything that debunks the leak either, like everything about the leak just makes too much sense. I think we should all be happy and hyped! Because we are getting an amazing base roster. Celebrate bois we are gonna have Geno, Isaac, King K Rool, Banjo, Ridley and much more on the roster of the Ultimate Smash game ever! Sakurai and the team truly delivered the best Smash game with the most fan requested characters in Smash history.
But they said that Banjo is gonna be DLC 😭 which im scared tbh
Commenting during ad to support channel,
Thanks for all your work
Chorus Kids are now Chorus MEN
The real thing is that it would be dang-near impossible to fake that image. Just because of the way Nintendo changes the banner every time they add characters. They move them around, expand them to the edges, etc. It would just be impossible to move the characters the way this leak does. Since some characters are covered by other characters, the leaker would need the entire model of ever character to arrange them into this banner. Especially with major shifts by Luigi, R.O.B., Jigglypuff, and the Mii’s. Even then, just about every character shifted in some way, which would have been very difficult for just a basic graphic designer to do. Therefore, I can only see that image as being rendered by Nintendo. Love these videos, man, keep it up!
