It's more than likely an enhanced port with all the DLC and possibly new characters ala Mario kart 8 Deluxe, but we don't really know.
I actually stopped watching his preview videos a couple of years ago, since he was so mean to the guy he played with. It just wasn't fun to watch.

Nick?
The guy that usually played with Josh back then. Perhaps they still play. Don't know the guy's name.
I too remain scarred but still expect a port of SSBWiiU

By Gamexplain yes, just after they released a speculative video about the screenshots.
Yes. It's a hoax by Josh Thomas.

I wish Josh Thomas was a hoax by Josh Thomas :/

God dammit is Josh Thomas really the one behind this? Can it be anyone but Josh Thomas.

Is there any proof of that or is it just a "this seems like a thing he'd do" thing? I know everyone just kind of honed in on that conclusion but I'm not sure if anything ever came up which solidly backed it up.
You see all the sources calling this fake? Ask yourself how they would know.
Someone told them, and told them who was behind it too.

Shockingly accurate, especially how it doesn't include the anonymous part.
This may be the best post in the thread.
I mean... it's getting to a point where I'm beginning to believe that "being a right-wing cockbag" is considered a prerequisite to being an internet personality who talks about video games. There's very little out there that I can support now.
But since we know this is a hoax, should we not update the thread title and close the thread?

Not trying to suggest that I think it's unlikely that he did it or anything. It just feels like I missed part of the conversation where a positive connection was made.

just saw thread and screens, looks fake to me. Looks more like art than a game, placement of things seem a little strange but if it's real eh ok..
I hated Smash Run and only played it enough to get the achievements involving it (which was a lot IIRC). If the Switch version ends up just being a port of mostly the WiiU version with Smash Run included and no other new characters/modes that would be worst case scenario for me. Like if that were the case I'd rather just wait another couple years for them to make a whole new game tbh since I still have my WiiU.
So that's probably what it will be lol.

Well Josh Thomas has a series of youtube videos where he imagines concepts for future games and uses computer modeling to visualize them (His Animal Crossing one is here). The leaked screenshots are totally something he would make especially that Paper Mario stage.

Decidueye would be cool but I think this guy might take the spot
And he should. He deserves it.
And he gets it without the mental gymnastics of "elemental balance" or "unique fighter".
I mean... series is a stretch. He did two and got upset when views on the second one were so low.

That's a good one!
And regardless of "good designs", that doesn't matter. We got Charizard in Smash and he is a crappy design.

I'm sure we'll get a few more new characters. IC, Wolf, and newcomers like Inklings and possibly ARMS are a good chance. I do think Smash will get the MK8 treatment, with 3DS stages to be added.
Get your furry shit out of here.

Sure, wanting the last remaining starter type to be playable is mental gymnastics, especially when it has a great design and immensely popular second type.
And lol at "unique fighter" being mental gymnastics.

The GameXplain guys are cool. At least enough to be hated by persona non grata Josh "picks fights with the voice actor of Mario" Thomas.
Basically, anyone who has a personal beef with Joshy boy is probably a cool person who you should like and subscribe.

not sure what's this supposed to mean
I mean if it's meant to slight Incineroar, you clearly haven't seen bipedal owlman Decidueye's "furry shit"
Well, what would you call an attempt to force "elemental parity"? It's as bad back in Pokken character wishing with people wanting to "complete" the set.
So it's not mental gymnastics but some sort of need to "complete" the set?
Yes, because what Smash needs is another Fire-Starter as a Grappler ...with Decidueye all three starter types would be present and all of them would represent different archetypes (Grappler, Speedster, Zoner), so he makes the most sense.Decidueye would be cool but I think this guy might take the spot

It's more normal in this case because we're talking about Smash which trying to represent Pokémon as a series. There are two starters in the game, it would be nice if the third to be included were the type that's not already there. Both for the sake of the variety as well as because "rock paper scissors" typing starter trios are a very iconic thing in Pokémon, and Smash does not feature that yet. I'm aware that other type triangles like this exist, but the Grass/Fire/Water one is iconic by virtue of the starters.
So yeah I guess it's a bit to "complete the set," but it's frankly a set worth completing. And Decidueye happens to be a great candidate due to the fact that it's visually unique, has a wealth of potential for a moveset that could translate well into Smash, and (this one is personal) is Ghost, which is a Pokémon type Smash hasn't explored yet.
Ultimately I just think the character is a great fit for the game, but there's no doubt that there's an appeal to having a Grass, Fire, and Water starter. It's not necessarily "forcing elemental parity," it's wanting to see more types playable in Smash because people like variety.
Someone have an issue here. It's Inceneroar from Pokemon Sun & Moon. Calm down, dood.

ahhh i see smash gaf is in full swing again, fake or no!
If I were sakurai the only thing keeping me back from incineroar would be any reservations in being too similar to bowser and charizard. If i didn't care or felt confident enonugh and wanted a new pokemon rep, sure I think he could be fantastic.
besides im pretty sure deicdueye already made it into a smash game
besides you all know we are just gonna get squirtle and ivysaur back

While I thought about this last night, the one bit of info I found odd was it was for a July issue. If that was the case, it was getting the magazine ready for post E3 meaning it would imply an E3 showing for Smash. Would Nintendo really reveal the Smash port without at least one new character and if they had, why no sign of them in the screenshots.
Of course by the time I got back home I saw most people had decided it was a fake anyway so I just went to bed since I wasn't really going to waste my time dissecting something that had already been through the wringer.
That and I found something off about the warp pipe.

Wanting another Grass Pokemon is kind of like people wanting to have a sword, lance and axe fighter from Fire Emblem to represent FE's "rock paper scissors" set. ....Atleast Pokemon already has two of the three in the roster already
I'll accept whatever new character at this point, but a bird-like creature that has the properties of both grass and ghost sounds like a pretty neat combination tbh

three starters actually
Smash featured the rock-paper-scissors elemental thing last time. And well all know it was garbage. Increased damage on certain types of attacks was really dumb. Honestly if people really wanted to, it should have been a three-man army of Trainer's Pokemon fighting at the same time.

Pikachu barely counts, and you're sidestepping most of what I said and being a bit obtuse.
People don't want elemental weakness in the game, they want one of each of what are arguably the most iconic types in Pokémon playable. It's not hard to see why. Starters are the first Pokémon many people get to own, so it's REALLY not difficult to understand this sentiment.
I mostly stick to Jim Sterling (I end up agreeing with him by the end of his videos more often than I don't, so it works for me) and Arlo, if only because a puppet talking about video games is AWESOME. Like, I would pay good money to have him conducting on-camera interviews at E3.
Never played it on WiiU, so this is one of those games I really want to see on Switch. Day 1 if it comes.

It's only a matter of time before we discover Arlo's twitter account with rants about (((globalists))) and puppet genocide.
Smash and fake leak have a good history too
