The Official Thread For the Sal Romano/Gematsu Leak

[Bravetriforcer]

And for those angry that Sal's leak may be right, fear not. He also leaked DLC characters. So there is definitely a silver lining if you hate Sal's leak and it turns out correct.

Miis get three movesets at once and you have to pay $5 for an actual character you wanted.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Spazzy_D]

Odds are this is legit. I mean, you know if you're a fan of probability and math and all. (Not confirmed yet though.)

IF Ness OR Lucas are cut I REALLY hope they are one of the DLC characters.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sadly, this is how I feel. I hate DLC in general.

 

[QJD1381]

Today once again proved nothing. Mii and Palutena were woefully easy guesses (even if the former is venomously hated). Until I see Chorus men, this leak has no legs to stand on far as I'm concerned.

 

[thisguyisnotcool]

Don't give up on Lucas yet

 

[Reila]

I am all for DLC, by the way. Capcom renewed my interest in Street Fighter 4 by releasing Hugo and Poison for the game, I want the same to happen to Smash, when I start getting tired of the game. But please Nintendo, don't release DLC right after the release of the game. Wait at least six months or so. Thank you.

Might as well call the leak "the Chorus Kids leak" instead. :x

mii FIGHTER you dimwit. cmon how can people be this dumb. how do you function in everyday life

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Are we 4 characters short to fulfill this or what? It's basically all but confirmed at this point, now's just the question when we'll see Pac, Chrom, Shulk and Chorus Men. Hopefully it's not all that is to the newcomer roster, but I think that's pretty much it, even if incredibly dissapointing.

 

[thisguyisnotcool]

Was Mii an easy guess?

 

[SeatreasureReturned]

I can only hope that the leaker gave out some false info to throw in the mix because I am going to be ticked if Lucas is cut. There is no reason both Mother boys can't be in the game. Save Lucas!

 

[Shroob]

As weird as it is, if Snake, Squirtle, Ivy and Lucas are our only cuts, people were right to put the RosalinaX rumor and this together...

 

[Spinosaurus]

Was Mii an easy guess?

Apparently "anyone could have guessed Wii Fit Trainer"

It's so obvious the leak is real.

 

[Stalking Fury]

He stated Mii FIGHTER, not just Mii. Jeez. And his character list isn't tainted. Animal Crossing Guy, Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, Little Mac, Palutena, Mii Fighter, and the Pokemon from X and Y aren't all just lucky guesses.

 

[Noiblade]

I'm sure we'll see at least one character at either the Smash Q&A tonight or the invitational.

 

[JFM2796]

I thought Sakurai said somewhere that if DLC became a thing for Smash it would be free? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[papagenos]

As weird as it is, if Snake, Squirtle, Ivy and Lucas are our only cuts, people were right to put the RosalinaX rumor and this together...

I think I might have been the FIRST person to do that and I've been mentioning how it fits for the last couple pages...

that would also mean 1 more newcomer we don't know about, which is exciting.

 

[Bauske]

Hahaha yess! Sal coming through once again!

 

[Reila]

There are still people calling the leak fake? Come on, there is a limit for being delusional. It sucks if one of your most wanted characters isn't in Romano's leaks, but it can't be helped. My most wanted character, Ridley, was never mentioned by Sal Romano and he just said he have no more information about other characters. So what does that mean? Ridley is possibly not in the game (playable). Even so, Romano was still right about most newcomers we get. So, at least the fist bunch of leaks are 100% legit. Yes, Palutena was in the second bunch of leaks, but he could have put here there because of the 3DS screens leak. I am personally choosing to believe him. If he is wrong, yay. If he is right, oh well, I was prepared .

Palutena was an easy guess?

 

[ScottyWK]

I don't think Sakurai is the one that makes that final decision. And I'm not sure this has been stated at all.

 

[ChunkyBeef]

Apparently "anyone could have guessed Wii Fit Trainer"

It's so obvious the leak is real.

Sakurai admitted that he looked at making Mii's playable in Brawl.

I was around for Brawl. People were seriously predicting Mii's.

Gee, it all adds up and fits together so nicely.

Palutena was an easy guess?

Sakurai developed Kid Icarus: Uprising, which revived the series. Sakurai's bias for his work is pretty obvious throughout the entire series. It was almost as safe a guess as Pac-Man.

 

[Bravetriforcer]

"Wow guys, this leak just correctly predicted two more characters! Confirmed fake."

-Smashboards logic

Oh wow, Palutena and Miis. Those totally weren't characters literally anyone part of the fanbase didn't have on their radar as so likely it wasn't even funny.

Not like Gematsu being real or fake even matters with how few of its predictions are left.

You are in such extreme denial. This guy predicted Wii Fit Trainer. WII FIT TRAINER. Isn't that proof enough?

 

[Minato Arisato]

The leak's making me feel sick to my stomach...and not in a good way.

Or it could be that I just felt sick this morning...

 

[Shroob]

It also could just be Mew2.

 

[KingLucasx]

At first I was leading towards fake with this leak. Then the miis are called Mii Fighter as he wrote in his latest leak(telling me that's an easy name to guess) stop being delusional people!

 

[Noiblade]

Hey guys, I do want to point out something.

There was a leak earlier. I'm not sure who it was from(This was from a couple weeks ago)

That leak literally gave the exact lines Palutena and pit said.
Right down to the fact Pit was fighting Link.

I'm gonna go find it to see if it matches up with Gematsu.

 

[papagenos]

if it was just a random leak that had mii's and palutena on it i'd give it to the deniers as not being all that impressive of a guess...

but your forgetting that this is the SAME guy who predicted wii fit trainer megaman villager little mac and ( kind of "pokemon from x and y" ) greninja and has lasted a year without any disconfirmation of any characters.

its real. get over it.

 

[Reila]

Palutena was an easy guess?

Honestly, yes, she was. Kid Icarus Uprising is one of Sakurai's games, plus the 3DS Palutena screens leak.

 

[Ryan.]

Believing this more and more...I really want Pac-Man next. If Chorus Men is revealed though, then I'm just all in on this.

Like I've said before, I'm waiting for lightning to strike twice. And like I said before, I'm willing to admit I was wrong when it does. He's had several chances to do just that. Several COMPLETELY UNIQUE CHANCES to do just that, and he's pretty much missed every single one.

All the evidence is there that the guy doesn't have all the information at best. My mind won't change 'til I see the Chorus Men trailer. Sorry, man.

EDIT: Alternatively, I may be willing to loosen my grip when Shulk gets confirmed.

 

[I_DON'T_KNOW_YOU!]

Was Mii an easy guess?

Yes, but not Mii Fighter.

Please do - this intrigues me.

 

[Meleefan]

I really cannot visualize Pacman in this game, guys. Sakurai might make it work, but if it were up to me.. I'd choose Ryu as a newcomer.

 

[Noiblade]

Looking...

 

[Reila]

I would have choose Ryu over Mega Man, maybe. But what does he have to do with Pac-Man? lol

Anyway, it is not our job to visualize Pac-Man in this game, that is up to Sakurai and the employees in Sora Ltd/Namco Bandai.

 

[domokl]

Welp this is true. So he said that chorus men shulk chrom and pac will all be in e3 so were in for a heck of a e3
