    6:07 Cacodemons are actually a bit of a stronger enemy in Doom. They’re more like Hammer Bros. if we’re sticking with the Mario analogy
    7:00 The first photo you showed actually came out a bit after the Thumbs Up Ken leak. That one was taken by someone playing a demo to see if some things people were using to discredit the leak actually happened normally ingame, ie Ken/Ryu’s foot sticking through the floor a little.
    20:28 Funnily enough one of the fighters pass 2 characters was added last minute, but it was Sora, not Min Min.
    Great video overall though! I’d love to see more deep dives into leaks like this. The Grinch Leak would be a trip, given how many things were supporting both the leak being real and fake.
    Also DusterBuster still owes me a Monika model swap for Zelda. HE’S BEEN PLANNING IT SINCE SMASH 4! BUT THEN HE JUST DIPS FROM THE SMASH MODDING SCENE AND PUTS HER IN FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN INSTEAD!
    I might be a little salty.

      Yea lol but to be fair he did his thing on the FNF mod at least 😅 And man I remember when I found out that Sora was last minute and was honestly so shocked cause it was similar to how the actual Kingdom Hearts games were brought up in the first place haha
      And I'll definitely put the Grinch leak on the list for sure. It was pretty interesting so I'm definitely down to see what's up with it. Appreciate you for watching the video friend :3

    The smash bros leak that ruined my life was the hashimoto tweet but at least that ended up right.
    This is a really solid collection of all the important bits from that leak.

    God, what a cancerous fandom. Great video by the way, but I'm glad to be rid of this community.
    28:00 So people that wanted to disprove the leak (yes, and they did, because Smash Twitter absolutely hates Geno) proved that yes, you can mod Mii hats. But that wasn't the point. They were making full head models, when the leak itself kept the face visible. Up to this point, it wasn't done before in Ultimate, or wasn't really done at all really because like you said, no one cares about Mii costumes. They are not a substitute for fighters. There's a reason everyone dreaded them BECAUSE all they meant to the community is deconfirmation of the character. The leak also lacked the "mod crust" you see in both the debunks people made as well as many other mods. You notice the Smash 4 Mallow hat Musicboi did. It looked like crap, because it did. However the Cacomallow Mallow hat (as well as the Cacodemon hat) did not have this. This is why a lot of people DID believe the leak, because it looked official. It's very easy to tell when something's a mod and when something is official. Mods and what mod authors simply cannot compare to game developers unless they become game developers themselves.
    39:45 Oh boy, SmashBurb. The same guy who WANTED the leak to be fake (again, people DID want to disprove this leak just because it had Geno in it, and actively celebrated when Geno got the costume again, please don't give them the benefit of the doubt here) and was in every GameFAQs thread that was posted about the Geno smashboards thread which was off-site harassment (remember, posts on GameFAQs about the thread were posted nearly every day), and brigaded that same thread and the Newcomer Speculation thread several times. An interesting character by the name of Tomasagaz14 made all those threads by the way, and was mentally disturbed in the head, obsessing over that thread and brigaded the thread constantly because he kept being an idiot and antagonised the thread, a bannable offence on Smashboards, and he was banned a lot. SmashBurb even got warnings several times because the Geno thread had gotten brigaded several times from toxic people like him, calling people in the thread a "cult" and "delusional" and any other insults they can come up with. Yet they had never did this with other character threads like Fawful that had even LESS of a chance than Geno. They were only brigading the thread because the thread was popular, and the reason it was popular is that it was basically an active social thread. The Newcomer thread is toxic, so people just ended up going to the Geno thread instead because of it. Ultimately the thread was getting so much bad attention from people like him (they were raiding the site constantly because of the Geno thread), they had to permanently lock the thread and resulted in many bans (including Fatmanonice, which was leading on the Geno thread with false hope constantly, this person is the primary reason why SmashBurb brigaded Smashboards too and why all those threads were made on GameFAQs, he also got doxxed by the way, so fun) when Geno got deconfirmed. Keep in mind that the Geno thread was one of the most popular threads on Smashboards at the time. It basically got Ridley'd. That thread also had to be locked several times in the past before it got a permanent lock just like the Geno thread did because of toxicity from off-site users like him coming into the thread to troll and antagonise everyone there. It wasn't pleasant to watch. He used the exact same username and had Revali as his profile picture. . Honestly, the Smash community is full of sociopaths and psychopaths, and I've never seen a community be as toxic as this one. Numerous people were doxxed over crap like this, and it's not okay.
    Anyways he should not be taken seriously whatsoever. He also has several alts on GameFAQs such as YosukeErdrick that he would also post.
    So, yes, DustinBuster and others (SmashBurb) wanted to debunk the leak from the very beginning by making condescending debunks that completely missed the point of why people believed the Cacomallow leak to begin with. They then celebrated when the leak turned out to be fake because of course they would.

      Wow....and here I thought Smashburb was a random person in a thread that I just agreed with. Thanks so much for telling me that. The Smash community is something else, I did not know the lore went that far. But that's fair, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid regardless XD
      Also trust me as someone that was also in the community, it was very cancer. Obviously it's not all horrible, but I will say I'm glad I'm not a part of it these days and have mostly just moved on to some of the interesting stuff that happened.

    I actually thought that this leak could* be real, I wasn't 100% sold, heck, not even 50%, but the thing this had going for it is that Smash Ultimate mods were kind of rare back in the day, so that was pretty noteworthy.

    • @BlazinBaconYT
      @BlazinBaconYT  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nah definitely. It had me at one point too, but as soon as Fighter Pass 2 happened and the costumes didn't appear, I knew it was wraps at that point
