Not necessarily. Just because someone BS'd a DLC claim, doesn't mean that DLC isn't a possibility. And knowing Sakurai's stance on cuts, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't bring back Wolf, Lucas and whatnot as DLC later on.
Sakurai has already said they are not considering DLC for SSB4.
I don't know, there should be a limit to the size of the roster and DLC of new characters + DLC of veterans + possible not leaked characters is too much imo.
Plans can change. Lucina's existence is evident of that.
He also said he would not be doing the balancing on his own again and made a complete 180 on that.
No he hasn't.
Okay, that clears things up.
Changing his mind about Villager etc. is a small thing. Adding DLC takes a lot more. I don't think Sakurai would take DLC lightly.
So do you think he purposefully came up with custom moves for Ness and Fox that are NOT like Lucas or Wolf's? That also seems strange. And I honestly can only think of a couple ways to change most of their moves up...
Bowser Jr. Mercedes Floating Car DLC confirmed.
Not just Mercedes cars. It also added the ability to see the map on the TV screen, general online stability fixes, and a scoreboard area absent in MK8 but present in MK7 that tallys past achievements, such as total collected coins, win/loss records online, character preference and whatnot.
Being able to do it does not equate to doing it.
I don't think he ever outright stated that. Wasn't it more along the lines of "we're focusing on the release content as of this time, it's too early to say"? That aside while it's true that Sakurai may not care for it, Namco-Bandai loves it. Like, a stupidly absurd amount. The Tales series is proof enough of that.
I'd see your point if it was three years ago, but Nintendo has certainly been on the ball with DLC recently.
I feel like some of those things are more like updates than "DLC" but I certainly hope you are right about DLC being more prominent in the future. Smash would be the perfect game to start supporting heavy DLC.

"Basically guaranteed"
As others have said, quite a few major Nintendo releases in the last two years have had DLC: New Super Mario Bros U, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Mario Golf 3DS. The Pokemon games have been doing their own take on DLC for almost a decade. I think it's fair to say that DLC for this game is actually quite likely. This is the game that will sell the Wii U and they will want to make the most of it. Not to mention the fact that Sakurai is a perfectionist, and that we have another eerily accurate (for the most part) leak in Gematsu that said character DLC was going to happen.
Piece of the Dragoon rotating.A couple things I feel should be added to the second post:
- The css has the bottom two rows centered, whereas the stage select screen does not.
- The arrow over Ganondorf's face and in this picture:
Just a personal side note, why is it so dark in the room where these pictures are being taken? It seems that the pictures are being displayed on either a tv or a computer monitor (you can see the top part in a few pictures, including the one here in this post). But why is it so dark? Supposedly these pictures were taken at an ESRB building. Personally, I have a hard time picturing people at the ESRB sitting in a dark room to watch these videos. Like, wouldn't they be like normal people and sit in a room with the lights on while watching tv? One reason I can think of that it would be dark in the room is, it's easier to take pictures of a tv screen / computer monitor if the lights are off. So, if the room was set up so the person could record a video of the tv, why the shoddy picture quality? You would think that they could just get the whole tv in frame and be centered in front of the tv.
Or, let's say the people at the ESRB do watch videos in the dark. That would make it impossible for someone to secretly record a video on their phone as it would create a bright light that their phone is on. You would think they would have some sort of rule about that. Just more things that don't make sense...
Also, are character outlines turned off here? Shulk almost looks like he has a red outline, but no other character has an outline. Lucina should have a red outline and Ganondorf and Charizard should have blue outlines, but they do not. Can outlines even be turned off completely during a team battle? Seeing as how characters are no longer forced to switch to a certain colored costume during team battles, I would think that outlines would be mandatory in team battles. It would seem odd for Sakurai to allow players to not be able to distinguish which team characters are on when it has always been heavily forced in the past (making same characters on the same team lighter and darker).

This quote is old, things could easily changed, especially so late in development.

It's not like we've been scrutinizing this leak non-stop for three days straight and have more than enough reason believe it. I'm sorry if you don't feel like putting the time into reading up on the evidence for the two sides, but no, I don't think we need to "get a grip".
Why do I keep having to bring this up. The picture leak that was posted ON 4CHAN has already predicted part of the Tomodachi Life stage that has never been seen anywhere before the Famitsu article. The person who leaked them was given the pictures by a different source and so he added BS information along with it either to just be a troll or to catch people who copy it.
What you're not understanding is that it wasn't the same guy.
Probably not ESRB. That's just a made up background story to throw off that it was actually leaked from a Marketing Intern.A couple things I feel should be added to the second post:

If they're taking the pictures with a cellphone camera or a similar low quality camera in an indoor setting, usually the camera will adjust the brightness of the surroundings to that whatever you're focusing on is well lit. So if you're focusing on a bright screen, the background will appear relatively dark, even if it isn't.A couple things I feel should be added to the second post:

I never said that I was longing for DLC. My point is that Nintendo has been very supportive of DLC for several of its titles.
Nintendo does not "leave space" for DLC additions in regular menus. They make it available separately. Fire Emblem, NSMBU, PMD, that's always how it works.
