Well, okay. But that was at least before they started dumping on Nintendo further. After all, Kerfluffle was in development for fucking ever. Even if there was going to be a Rayman DLC after the fact, I think the whole Legends thing and ransoming would have burnt that bridge completely.

Incredible fake. But jesus man, put those talents to good use! Trolling an entire fan base isnt necessarily the best use of your talents or time.
Then again, I bet this got him a lot of subs on YT. So maybe it worked out after all..
Lesson learned though. There is always someone willing to go to that extra mile just to make a fake leak.

Wow I remember this guy. He made a bunch of Kirby hats leading to Brawl's release. He sure fooled nearly everyone.
Accept the fact that Rayman won't be in Smash. It's okay. There are plenty here who feel your pain.

yeah at this point I don't think we can trust any leaks that don't have gameplay footage ever again
I had a feeling when I saw everything was just art based. That voice in the back of my head was saying "Why not select Rayman and get the announcer?" Fantastic job.
It makes sense too because I remember someone around here saying they heard Ubi wanted Rayman in before the trophy reveal, and Sakurai saying no. Sakurai doesn't change his mind so soon, you gotta wait until the next game.

Pretty much how I feel. It's REALLY impressive all around. I mean DAMN! He's really set a new bar for fakes that'll be remembered when the next Smash is being made.
But at the same time it's like ARGH! Why you gotta play with our hearts like that dude?
I guess it's good he came forward really quickly.

He did it for publicity?
Can't really respect that at all. :/

ESRB leak

I gotta say, I'm really thankful the guy came up to it already. He could've just left us in Smash limbo for god knows how long and that's something I wasn't ready to handle, lol
He got some publicity. He went and did everything he could to make it look crazy legit. From emulating the style of the game to trying to "repeat" the last leak.
I wonder why Ubisoft claimed to be making a comment on Tuesday, though...or is that bogus, too?
The ESRB leak had gameplay.

To be honest it's slightly better than just doing it for shits and giggles.
The publicity alone will make for some good resume/portfolio material, and it gets more attention to his old and new stuff. I'd say he's putting his talents to good use for sure.
And yeah I was skeptical but was starting to lean #teamreal.
Very impressive fake.
This guy knew what he was doing, the ESRB leaks had no gameplay for a good while. Gotta be more skeptical though.
"lol"
We got gameplay within a week of those pics.

Seriously, what is Ubi planning?
It'd be amazing if Rayman is actually being made as dlc
Im honestly surprised that he didnt record a VO of him announcing "RAYY MANNN" and editing it in.
I mean, would that have been that much extra work considering how much time he put into it already?

For all the effort he put in, why didn't he make a unique NEWCOMER card? Rayman joins the battle is generic, and all other characters got personalized taglines.

I'm not laughing, I know he has good skill, but I hope his computer gets hacked. Who's laughing now?
Nobody moves Captain Falcon. We should have known.
Not at first though. The actual gameplay came days after. In retrospect, the ESRB leak is much more credible due to the sheer amount of new character models we saw. It's relatively easier to fake a single character.
Also for the Mewtwo render, he just took the trophy and barely changed it. C'mon detectives, that should have been an easy find.
Just be lucky he didn't milk this for days if not weeks if Ubi said nothing of interest on Tuesday. He could have had us by the balls for a long time if he wanted to.

It would be amazing if Ubi was going to comment on Tuesday because they were actually putting Rayman in, and the leak was so good they thought it was for real.
The actual in-game unlock screens all have the same "joins the battle" tagline.
It obviously should be Sora. Half the KH games were on Nintendo platforms: Chain of Memories, RE:coded, 358/2 Days, Dream Drop Distance. Final Smash = random drive form (valor, wisdom, master, limit, final)
Ingame they all say the same thing though. I guess the idea is it would be a UI leak.

They're all generic "joins the battle" within the actual game, as has been pointed out. It's only in trailers we get "weighs in" etc.

This guy is a fuckboy for deliberately posting fakes just for attention, honestly.
Like, finding out it was fake is ok, but knowing some duck wanted to be noticed for his dedicated work on his leak is another. He deserves whatever flak people are giving him right now.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So what now, we lock this thread and go home or...?
I'm still continuing the wait for Wolf

I have a feeling people would have figured it out immediately. You can fake an image, but it's hard as hell to fake a voice. There are very few who can imitate a voice spot on.
We wait for Ubisoft's (most likely uninteresting) comment on the situation either Tuesday or earlier.
