Waluigi's Smash Snub refers to jokes about noted Super Mario character Waluigi being absent from the upcoming Super Smash Brothers video game, Super Smash Bros. Additionally, the day prior, at The Game Awards, Nintendo revealed that Joker from Persona 5 would be joining the roster (shown below). Super Smash Brothers Ultimate was released on December 7th, 2018 to extremely positive critical reception, scoring a 93 from critics on Metacritic the day of release. Sakurai also confirmed the development of five DLC stages and five new DLC characters, which have not yet been put into development. The stream also discussed changes to the multiplayer and online services from the Wii U version of the game. This allowed for the inclusion of many more characters who can boost character's stats, though they will not appear on screen like Assist Trophies (of which, it was revealed, there are 59).
They can be unlocked in single-player mode through "event"-style fights. "Spirits" are helpers which players can assign to their fighter and help their stats. Most notably, the Direct introduced the "Spirit" mechanic.

On November 1st, 2018, Nintendo streamed the final Nintendo Direct for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. The inclusion of the Grinch led to jokes about the Grinch being involved in Smash, either as a playable character or the force behind the leak (examples shown below).
It was confirmed that Bricard works for the company and that Marina was working with Bandai Namco.įurthermore, there were several as-yet unused promotional artworks for the upcoming film The Grinch in the original photo, confirming that Bricard had access to unused promotional materials. A 4chan user was able to discover an Eric Bricard on LinkedIn who worked with a French marketing firm, Marina workshops, that handles displays for numerous companies. Additionally, the name of the French Snapchat user, blocked out in the original leaked image, was able to be uncovered. For example, the background for the artwork is a never-before-used template for the Battlefield stage of Super Smash Brothers, making the artwork likely legitimate. According to a lengthy thread by Twitter user internet sleuths were able to discover several clues that helped give the leak legitimacy.
