So what now, we lock this thread and go home or...?

I'm still continuing the wait for Wolf

Maybe wait until Tuesday? Didn't Ubisoft say they were going to wait to speak about it?

[L Thammy]

repost cause this thread moves so fast:

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

But then.. wtf is Ubi planning to say?

 

[LAA]

Rule 1 of Leaks: If its not gameplay its not real

Ha ha, don't say that! The next big leak is gonna be someone making actual 3D models and etc. and make it appear like gameplay.

 

[Choppasmith]

What are people talking about regarding Ubisoft's "statement"?

It's funny even with the ESRB leak, I thought since it was shown on a Brawl stage, I thought, "what if this is modded Brawl footage and the Shulk being shown here is actually Ike with a new model thrown on" But then I saw the Bowser Jr and victory footage and realized it had to be real. Still, I can see something like that happening in the future. It would be the only way to one up this.

 

[SenorArdilla]

It was a pretty good fake.

 

[Forkball]

At least something good came out of this.

So what now, we lock this thread and go home or...?

I'm still continuing the wait for Wolf

We speculate and post Lucina fanart until the next Nintendo Direct in two to three months.

 

[Boss Doggie]

We mine our own salt

but I'm not salty, I don't have a stake in this

but I do smell the coffee beans

 

[Armigr]

Amazing fake. I'm not even mad.

I'm with you. Impressive stuff!

 

[Wyndstryker]

Don't let this guy make any more fake leaks.

He might give people heart attacks given how legit they look.

 

[theprodigy]

thanks!

 

[superNESjoe]

The ESRB leak had gameplay.

It had gameplay.

Not initially, and it was real.

 

[Kade]

We speculate and post Lucina fanart until the next Nintendo Direct in two to three months.

This thread is now Lucina |OT|.

 

[IntelliHeath]

So what now, we lock this thread and go home or...?

I'm still continuing the wait for Wolf

We need a new home for Smash DLC discussion!

 

[JeTmAn81]

That fake...was legit. Guess we'd better wait for actual gameplay next time. That would be almost impossible to fake.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I don't get the purpose of making fake leaks.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Good fake, but it was rather easy to spot considering they went out of their way not to confirm it.

 

[Mariolee]

This thread is now Lucina |OT|.

More like Lum |OT|

I don't get the purpose of making fake leaks.

If you watched the video, it was for publicity for his new speed drawing series.

 

[Revven]

What are people talking about regarding Ubisoft's "statement"?

ScrewAttack reported this morning, after speaking to an Ubisoft rep, they were told that Ubisoft will be making a statement about it on Tuesday -- which is the same day as Nintendo's investor meeting.

This was before the Rayman leak is fake video was uploaded.

 

[Karsticles]

Not initially, and it was real.

I mean that you shouldn't believe until gameplay. When we got the ESRB gameplay, then it was reasonable to believe.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

I should be impressed but that smug hair combined with that smug look makes me hate this go so much.

 

[Qurupeke]

We speculate and post Lucina fanart until the next Nintendo Direct in two to three months.

I'm okay with that.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Didn't go on Mewtwo like I questioned, I did believe it to be legit however.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Not initially, and it was real.

That had UI elements and stuff that were new and were confirmed later. It was the first time we saw the full character select. This didn't have anything like that.

 

[Nia]

Well, Rayman fans on suicide watch. You have my sympathy. That guy has some amazing skill. I remember him from the IGN forums.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

You'd think he would have picked a more popular character. This is by far the most impressive fake I've ever seen, but it's pretty pathetic that somebody would waste their time doing this for a few minutes of fame. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

 

[SuperSah]

May as well lock up.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

You almost got me... almost.

 

[SovanJedi]

We wait for Ubisoft's (most likely uninteresting) comment on the situation either Tuesday or earlier.

What if this was fake (which it is) but it inadvertently causes Ubisoft to move towards talking about an ACTUAL Rayman DLC character in Smash?

Huhuhuhu

 

[Ahnez]

I don't get the purpose of making fake leaks.

Attention/Exposure/Publicity

 

[SmithnCo]

I don't get the purpose of making fake leaks.

Guy gets a lot of publicity for his work, can use it as a portfolio piece and say how he fooled the internet.

 

[Mariolee]

You'd think he would have picked a more popular character. This is by far the most impressive fake I've ever seen, but it's pretty pathetic that somebody would waste their time doing this for a few minutes of fame.

If he enjoys doing it and is using it for publicity for his new Youtube series for his channel which could potentially rake in money, then who are you to call it pathetic?

 

[Sterok]

I'm just glad this wasn't Ridley. Imagine the meltdowns that would be occurring right now if it was him.

 

[Darkspineslayer]

Why would DLC need to be unlocked?

#teamfake

 

[J@hranimo]

Dang, all of the Rayman dislike in the thread is the only thing about this that's disappointing. Sheesh.

Anyway time to grind more customs.

 

[AnkiRendan]

Why?

After what Ubisoft pulled with Rayman, being a trophy was good enough for him. Not a playable character. On a personal level, I don't really like him.

 

[Lijik]

The attention to detail in this fake really is amazing. The worst most people had to throw at it was "waah i dont like rayman"

 

[EightBitNate]

You'd think he would have picked a more popular character. This is by far the most impressive fake I've ever seen, but it's pretty pathetic that somebody would waste their time doing this for a few minutes of fame. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

That's not why he did it though. He's already done a Klonoa video like this, and he's going to keep making more. It's a drawing video series. Really excited for it.

 

[Neoxon]

Why would DLC need to be unlocked?

#teamfake

It was already revealed to be fake, so you're a bit late.

 

[The Hermit]

Because it's all a double lie, and it's actually completely real now due to it being indisputably fake now!

I KNOW HOW THESE THINGS WORK

As crazy as that sounds I can see that happening haha

 

[Mariolee]

I'm just glad this wasn't Ridley. Imagine the meltdowns that would be occurring right now if it was him.

Missed opportunity.

 

[Tathanen]

In retrospect, y'all shoulda noticed the animation of the background not lining up on mewtwo and rayman's tiles.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

If he enjoys doing it and is using it for publicity for his new Youtube series for his channel which could potentially rake in money, then who are you to call it pathetic?

Faking something for attention is the very definition of pathetic. I feel bad for all of the hardcore Rayman fans.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

Let's be real here. If they were going to put a Rayman character in Smash, I'm hopeful they'd pick the right one...

 

[Village]

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)

If a disney character gets into smash, it should be mickey effing mouse. With an oswald alt with full voicing

 

[EightBitNate]

Faking something for attention is the very definition of pathetic. I feel bad for all of the hardcore Rayman fans.

You're missing the point. He did it to prove that his drawings are so realistic that people confuse them for the real thing. He wanted to see how far he could go.

 

[TheAutomator]

the dream is dead

So....is this really deconfirmed by the leaker then?

haha wow

 

[Coffee Dog]

People did. Many, actually. They were compared to the Little Mac/Shulk people and laughed at.
