I really had nothing better to do. It's time for a tale of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, pictures of the day, and Alfonzo.

[@MunchKING]

@@inaneinacheve Because he basically just said what all the fans had been saying they wanted for the last year.

[@MKWMICHCHAMP]

@@MunchKING if anything, that should've been the indicator that this leak was far too good to be true

[@CyberSoulgem]

remember when the game came out and we were like "Guess the gematsu leak was wrong" and then datamining and behind the scenes info came out proving that everything they said was originally planned to be in the game proving them right? SM4SH speculation was insane

[@ianconlee7804]

Imagine being the person who predicted Piranha Plant in Smash several years ago. Also imagine if Shrek and Goku were in a PlayStation Allstars reboot. One more thing, would you accept a Fighters Pass #3 if it consisted of Spongebob, Popeye, Izuku and Ochako, Sam and Max, and Scrooge McDuck.

nope

God, the Little Mac/Shulk photoshop was super hilarious to me for several reasons, mainly the fact that my friend hated Xenoblade so much he was willing to 100% believe the photoshop claim which only further pissed him off when he was officially confirmed. And then people started believing that Nintendo acknowledged the leak because the Shulk trailer was called "Looks like we don't have a choice!" even though that's a line from the game itself.

[@kiracaos]

Smash speculation is the drug that never fades away and always keeps on giving.

[@tamashi4242]

Reimu getting into smash has gotten a tad bit of credibility since part of the "doujin leak of 2018" came true (as well as a lot of deconfirms of fan favourites) (I'm not usually into believing in speculation or leaks) Edit: character reveals have been done through POTD???? Especially around the launch of their games???? HMMMMMMMMMM

[@aurafox1]

Man, I miss back when the only argument you needed for wanting a character in smash was that you could come up with four special moves.
