Spooky Mystic  🎃 👻

I don't doubt the validity of the people I have spoken to, which is a major reason as to why I won't post any names or info, but I do have something I can confirm after speaking to various people: Incineroar is in the game.

I'm no longer going to say that something is definitively real or not, even if I know for a fact that it is. Plans change, and we have seen that with titles such as DMC5 (and a yet to be announced game I hinted at incorrectly last month).

One thing I'd like to clear up is that I did not make my original tweet for attention. That was the last thing I wanted. The second I saw the likes and mentions, I began to get nervous at work. I was legitimately trying to confirm something for fans.

However, I forgot how excitable this community is. And believe me, I would love more than anything to give a straight answer to who these sources are. I hate the idea of being some guy with these random, invisible sources. It's not cool. I like transparency. I just can't do it

I have to respect the privacy of people who have given me confidential information. This is most likely the last thing I'll ever corroborate, regardless of the reception I get to it. Too much stress and way too high risk for me.

I'd rather just focus on actually working on being a part of the industry, rather than obtaining insiders.

Here are a few things I will confirm: -A majority of my sources have confirmed what I have in the past: Some characters are actually in, but the poster seems off and isn't what we have seen. -Incineroar is in. -There will be a unique character trailer revealing two characters.

I don't want to mention who the real newcomers are, as it will clearly give away exactly who told me what. Therefore, I'm mentioning what a majority of people have told me in order to keep their identities secret.

I have received a ton of DMs, and of course, unwanted attention from a few websites I won't name. This is a mess I'd rather not be in, but I was the one who chose to make the tweet, so I'll update it accordingly as more info comes out.

Of course, I take complete responsibility for how definitive my original tweet was. I didn't want people to get hyped, but I ended up doing the exact opposite of what I had intended. This is probably why I should not tweet while on a break at work.

As I said though, I take full responsibility. If people are upset, I completely understand. Just know that I was not out there trying to lie or mislead fans, nor was I looking to get attention. It can be very hard to convey tweets such as that, so I apologize sincerely.

And of course, I'd never intentionally lie to anyone on here. That is not, nor will that ever be how things go here.
