Short answer: no. But we do know that data for Roy, Mewtwo, and Dr. Mario were present in the game. People assume they were cut due to time constraints due to Sakurai stating numerous times throughout the development of Brawl and Wii U/3DS that he dislikes removing characters very much. Anyone...

It absolutely could. It's been said hundreds of times, but here we go: TO SAL LEAK SUPPORTERS: It's still possible that it was simply a shot in the dark that happened to be right. It was only revealed as a "leak" after being posted as a prediction. The leaker seems to be proven credible by...

Yep, I just checked through all 23 pages, and I can confirm most of these "returning characters" are from the old Dojo. K. Rool is indeed there, all the way back from 2007, but it's likely edited in, like Rob McCann (still lmao @ that). Funny, because I know a significant amount about HTML, and...

Ahh. Seems likely to me. There also the possibility it was falsely edited with characters, a la the way the US site is obviously edited, according to the wayback machine. K Rool seems interesting nonetheless. Gonna have to dig through these.

Okay, unless I'm missing the sarcasm dripping from everyone's voices, all of you are dumb as hell if you think Kirbamus, Ocelot, Geno, Neku, "Trails", ROB ****ING MCCANN (get it? ROB?), and Ainsley(???) are legitimate characters. This is the most obvious joke leak I've ever seen. I laughed...

There we go! I KNEW there had to be one shown off in the Direct. I was racking my brain for one, and couldn't think of which enemy it was. Stalfos makes a lot of sense. I'm fine with most Zelda enemies, as long as they aren't ReDeads, or espeically Like Likes. Melee flashbacks. :c Ah, thank you...

Good question. I've been asking myself the same question for hours, and I'm confused as to why I'm still here. They will. Let them create their 55-character rosters. Let it come slowly. It's probably best to let this thread cool until something new actually comes up, honestly. We've discussed...

Aaaaaand it's still off-topic. I should stop complaining and being a backseat mod, I guess. There's absolutely nothing to talk about anymore since so many leaks have been Greninja'd. Maybe…? There's a character that vaguely resembles him in the first trailer, and Nintendo even has the shot of...

True, but it doesn't mean it wasn't a lot higher in demand than expected. Look at GameStop's prices for a used copy, as an obvious albeit overused example. They wouldn't be that price, artificially hiked or not, if they were games that didn't have a relatively high demand. Plus, X has been shown...

Indeed it is. Intelligent Systems is a very old subsidiary of Nintendo. Game Freak and TPC are directly affiliated with Nintendo through strict contract and could be considered first-party in a very loose, non-business degree. i.e. They're second-party, but there's no way either could be bought...

I could gather. I'm not mad at you or anything. I guess I just wanted to throw that all out there before misinformation got spread. And I really don't want to waste the mods' time and have them step in because this is becoming a general discussion thread about likelihood of random characters...

Little Mac was chosen because fans wanted him. @Ryuutakeshi: They absolutely had to get creative with him to make him work; Sakurai even mentioned that in the Direct. Wii Fit Trainer was chosen as a joke character inspired by the recognition and sales Wii Fit has accumulated. Rosalina was chosen...

I'm sorry, but what on Earth are you talking about? ZSS and Sheik would absolutely not be the first to go. They are unique characters with unique movesets, as well as fan favorites. Ridley is also far from confirmed, unless you mean "confirmed to appear in the game in some form". People are...

I agree that Ike has a lot more popularity than people give him credit for. Ike is the second most-frequent protagonist of FE, starring in two games and getting multiple references in Awakening, the newest game, not to mention his descendant appearing as free DLC. But, I'm really sorry… this...

"Pic of the day. Your character starts a Smash Run as a relatively ordinary fighter. But before the game, you can outfit yourself with certain items that can help power you up early, which will give you a big advantage later on!! These items are much like the Powers you'd find in Kid Icarus...
