Banjo is around 80% percent complete. You'll probably see him and 5.0.0 in early to mid September.
Work on Hero was finished at the end of June, the entire month of July before his release was work on balancing.
Fighter 4 has started development, they did a couple weeks after work on Hero (other than balancing) finished. Fighter 4 is Frisk from UNDERTALE. Leaks will probably start cropping up soon featuring this information.
I'll be in the comments in a little while and I'll respond to questions.
>the entire month of July before his release was work on balancing Ya blew it.
Lincoln Cooper
>21 different Down Specials >1 of those has 10 different effects (not counting Hocus Pocus casting other spells) It's believable, I can imagine Hero would be a nightmare to balance.
Adrian Martinez
>Not even a week after Hero dropped >Leakfags already back, churning out text post after textpost you fuckers are intolerable
Zachary Myers
Well, it's better than nothing.
Connor Adams
Can confirm Waluigi, he's getting his own Warioland-esque game where you can "switch" between his lanky form and Wario's fat ass. They're going to be barely-cooperative rivals, everything about the game from the title and boxart will reflect this, showing Waluigi trying to usurp Wario.
Expect the reveal trailer to also show this theme. Waluigi may serve as "anti-hero-esque" based on the simple fact that he can't own everything in the universe at the same time as Wario. Coins/money/treasure will almost certainly be integrated into his playstyle.
Waluigi in Smash, including his move pool, will be designed to promote this game (like many of the Smash newcomers, such as Marth/Roy in Melee and Bayonetta in Ultimate.)
I cannot confirm or deny this alleged leak, I don't know who Fighter 5 is just yet. I'll know once the character enters development in most likely September. See above.
Jack Gomez
Honestly the last Smash involvement I had was playing Other M and I'm still fucking mad. If Reimu or Dante get in I will force myself to buy the game. I'm not saying I want either, in fact I don't want to play the game. Just laying down a line before we finally end this
Ayden Ramirez
>Master Chief Helmet >Not a full costume GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
Jeremiah Campbell
>Steve Costume ...It's not fair, Stevebros
Angel Diaz
Are there any other interesting features coming to Smash? The modes added this time were kind of underwhelming.
Landon Murphy
So do Heihachi and Lloyd’s costumes confirm that fighter 5 won’t be a Namco rep?
Angel Wood
Home Run Contest and a "Very Hard" mode for World of Light are coming with Banjo.
A boss rush mode is probably coming with Frisk since Porky, Gruntilda, and someone else (who I assume is Omega Flowey) are being added as bosses for free sometime this year.
Landon Hall
As I said, I don't know who the fifth fighter is, but I assume so.
Christopher Smith
>Fighter 4 is Frisk from UNDERTALE aaaand there it is
And you seriously thinkit'll be Frisk, and not Toby trying to push Deltarune but instead his old game already massively popular?
Austin Gray
Costume Theory died with the Geno costume not returning. >Boss rush Fucking finally, I've been asking for this since I beat WoL
Dominic Collins
Deltarune isn't fully complete, and as Toby has said before, probably won't be for a long time. From my understanding, negotiations began before Deltarune was even released.
Jason Johnson
>free bosses
-_- starting to think you’re full of shit, it’s stupid for banjo and frisk to come with a boss, but not joker or hero.
Jose Stewart
I never believed Mii costume theory to begin with, I was just getting curious.
>starting to think Should’ve been obvious from the get-go that OP is full of shit
Blake Jackson
I assume it's because of liscensing issues. I have heard word around the office that Sega/ATLUS and Square Enix were somewhat difficult to negotiate with.
Jayden Moore
100% Absolutely Based No Doubt About It
Aaron Martin
No
Jordan Robinson
>Frisk from UNDERTALE Fuck off.
Adam Myers
It's probably fake, but I fucking hope you're right.
If we get any Undertale character at all (Frisk, Sans, etc) I will swap Palutena to main them in a heartbeat.
Jordan Evans
>Shovel and Shantae get representation >Thinking Nintendo would ignore an indie game that's roughly 5x bigger than either and has a developer that speaks Japanese and pals around with Itoi
Liam Kelly
Honestly, the last announcement need to be something really huge, a character no one could believe be in the game. Undertale is a massively popular game, especially in japan, heck it's one of the most popular indie games on the market. (minecraft isn't indie anymore.) Frisk would make sense, they wouldn't add Sans because spoiler, and his moveset could be very original and interesting.
Sebastian Cooper
>Work on Hero was finished at the end of June, the entire month of July before his release was work on balancing. Yes, as we can clearly see with how balanced Hero is :^)
Ethan Foster
This leak is worse than Lupin. How the hell is this believable.
Jaxon Stewart
>Sega/ATLUS being hard to negotiate with....
AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDD that’s all I needed to hear, it’s never been hard for Nintendo to negotiate with Sega, especially since the Mario and Sonic games started.
how would you even go about implementing stuff like using mercy or genocide stuff? it would be a really interesting character but I just can't think of how the mercy aspect would work.
Thomas Russell
They've always been particularly hard to deal with when it comes to Smash, at least from what ive heard.
Liam Jenkins
This sounds really nice. I mean, an Omega Flowey boss would dope as fuck! I wonder how the would make Frisk's moveset though? Would it ne pacifist or genocide themed?
Would make banjo the only good addition to the roster for the dlc
Adrian Green
Have Frisk feint all of their hits, but represent Chara as the actual hits
Andrew Mitchell
*the only bad addition
Austin Gutierrez
Fighter 5 is __Goku__
Brody Fisher
ATLUS we have no precedent for, but Sega? Really? The company who has had Sonic in every Smash game since Brawl along with a ton of spirits, music, and two assist trophies?
Charles Nguyen
It's obvious with SE but Fatlus seemed to be fairly on board. They released that video of them with Sakurai and seemed to be fairly involved with the process, they even gave Joker his P5R grappling hook. Persona probably got the most out of any third party behind Castlevania and Mega Man.
Elijah Thomas
The character is early into actual development, but here's the main jist of how it's supposed to work.
Frisk is centered on avoiding conflict for most of their moveset, using the ACT command for specials, and accidental hits for normals and smash attacks. The genocide part is saved for the final smash.
David Anderson
There is some evidence that they're weirdly protective, after all there has been zero new remixes of Sonic music since Brawl.
Parker Jackson
God, I wish
Lucas Adams
If this becomes reality I will eat my own jizz
Carson Lee
Do you know the general time window when Frisk will be revealed?
Cameron Gutierrez
Fall, right around Banjo's release.
Carson Cook
Thank you
David Diaz
>avoiding conflict >in a fighting game What a shitty character concept
Austin Perry
I don't buy this shit for a second. I want to, but why would Nintendo not partner with a company that can help them out in the future rather than some indie developer who could straight up stop at any time he so pleases? Also, >Waluigi I'm really fucking surprised anyone put any time or effort looking at this """leak""".
I never said Waluigi. It was associated with this "Paraleak" that I never even heard about before.
Sebastian Sanchez
>RNG specials that might one-shot the oppponent, kill you, do nothing, make you invincible, make huge bursts >in a fighting game What a terrible concept
William Fisher
>the entire month of July before his release was work on balancing. Doubt.
Owen Bennett
Where’s that one pic where they treat Undertale like the magnum opus of all story telling period.
Jackson Perry
Even so, I want you to be honest with me here user. Is Frisk really the next fighter? Can you tell me right now with certainty that the next character that gets announced will be Frisk? If you can, I will give you an iota of trust. I'm open for any characters but I don't wanna get my hopes up.
Joshua Perez
>Frisk is centered on avoiding conflict for most of their moveset, using the ACT command for specials, and accidental hits for normals and smash attacks. The genocide part is saved for the final smash. That actually sounds really cool if it's done right
Landon Hill
cringe
Isaac Rodriguez
Let’s write a letter to Sakurai, I’ll start. Dear,
Ian White
Todd Howard
Brayden Gray
I can tell you for certain that Frisk is the next fighter that will be revealed for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.
Hunter Cook
Retards
Landon Cook
Fuck, I wish I could stop rosterfagging. I thought Banjo was the last character I could ever want and I'd be satisfied with him, but now I want Doomguy. It's all so tiresome.
OP, I'll throw you a bone. Have you heard anything about Doomguy or Bethesda at all?
Alexander Smith
Then so be it. You have earned a little bit of trust from me. But I expect not to be let down then, user.
>Can confirm Waluigi, he's getting his own Warioland-esque game where you can "switch" between his lanky form and Wario's fat ass. They're going to be barely-cooperative rivals, everything about the game from the title and boxart will reflect this, showing Waluigi trying to usurp Wario. Is this that rumored rated M game from Nintendo? Supposed to be a Conker inspired game, But with Waluigi.
Nolan Harris
>Frisk from Undertale Can't you fake leakers at least try? If any indie character's getting in, the best chance right now would probably be the character from Necrodancer since they did that Zelda spinoff.
Matthew Kelly
I haven't heard anything about it other than rumors. It is best not to take this as a confirmation or the other way around. I hope this answers your question.
Camden Howard
I doubt an indie character will be playable, but Shovel Knight being an assist plus SK spirits and music is a pretty big deal. A playable indie isnt a stretch anymore.
Dylan Cruz
Geno's best chance to be revealed is at EVO because most of the players there should know who he is. However, EVO is also the best place to reveal a character from a fighting game franchise, like Tekken or MK, so he has that against him.
Hunter Reyes
>most of the players there should know who he is damn near nobody outside of Yea Forums knows who he is
Kevin Reed
There is no EVO reveal, and there are no characters other than Banjo and Frisk that are in development currently.
Brayden Roberts
I want to believe you, but you need to tell me what’s else you’ve leaked and got correct in the past first.
Luis Edwards
I leaked Banjo to a few people in private. I am a source to a few people. I decided to come out on my own for this one, to get it out there quicker.
>implying Nintendo would let sakurai’s team fully model and recreate this clusterfuck of a fight while also keeping this design in what is by all definitions a children’s game. Would be based, but in what world?
What are Frisk's alts based off of? What spirits will he get? What music? What Mii costumes?
Aaron Clark
Leak this to someone legit like Sabi so we know you're real
Grayson Williams
Is there anything to do with Chara?
Adrian Scott
I can't say for sure. They are pretty early into development. I know their render isn't even finished. The rest of this reply is mere speculation on my end.
For alternate skins, color schemes of the other characters; (i.e. Sans, Papyrus, Chara, etc.) For spirits, the main NPCs. For music, boss themes. For Mii costumes, probably other indie characters or missing costumes from Smash 4.
Jason Diaz
Ah yes, ‘I leaked banjo in private’, the typical scapegoat, anyone who’s in your position could just say that, I need more than that to believe you!
Adrian King
I can't name names of who I'm a source of, for obvious reasons, but they're big names in the leak scene. I have mentioned this to all of them before.
Yes, but they'll never be named, for obvious spoiler reasons.
Dylan Robinson
Neato if true. Hope there are some Deltarune tunes like Rude Buster and World Revolving
Landon Wood
What's the obvious reason? This is all anonymous.
Eli Barnes
See what I've said in .
I'm hoping for Deltarune tracks too, but those will be added in later if at all.
Not getting them, or myself, in trouble. Despite this being anonymous, it doesn't mean there won't be any consequences if too much is said. All of the questions have been in the same area so I've kind of been running around in circles. Eventually, I'll have to stop talking for this reason.
I mean, most of most of Phoenix Wright's normals involve persausive or idle gestures that incidentally hit the opponent. A pacifist fighter is possible
If you’re so confident that you’re legit, then come back tomorrow.
Luis Hall
>they wouldn't add Sans because spoiler
I don't think they care much about spoilers, there's plenty to be found in the game, and Smash Ultimate actually added one to an existing character.
Hunter Campbell
Okay. Perfect timing, as I have to leave for now. I'll leave you all to your own devices now. Goodbye.

God this would be fucking awesome Quit making up cool bullshit to force your shitty fanfiction
Alexander Martin
Where's your blurry screenshot? How am I supposed to trust you without a blurry screenshot?
Did sakurai say he was tired of putting in generic protags?
Jason Robinson
Can this mean anything? These along with other things with Frisk such as remixs of songs like Undertale and It's Raining Somewhere Else were leaked along with it
Why did no one tell me how good undertale is? I just finished the last route and it was amazing. Sure there's some tumblr humor but most of it was pretty charming. I'm angry I never played this when it was big but maybe it's good cause I missed the fanbase
Adrian Campbell
Did you guys honestly forget he's already in the game as an assist? Are you actually fucking serious?
