Am I the only one who noticed that the icons aren't plated with names?


30 seconds in, all icons are name-plated. Just an observation.

EDIT: Or, um, not 30 seconds. The video keeps starting at two minutes in for me. .-.

I don't think it's real
No you're not. Several people have, but it doesn't seem to matter that there's such a huge inconsistency in these "leaks" compared to the E3 demo.

Geez, people give up easily.

I've always taken leaks with a grain of salt, but I'll pretend it's true for now.

Dark Pit and Dr. Mario? Disappointing choices. Keeping Falco but cutting Wolf and Lucas? Also disappointing.

Assuming it's completely true, there's still space for unlockables.

Interesting images. Has anyone checked to see if the stages match to PotD? Because some of them look like them, exactly, though it could just be my eyes.

Also, is Final Destination not there, or did I miss something?

And here's all of them.
Pff. People think THIS is real? Bowser Jr. and Doc miles away from the other Mario characters? Yoshi slap-bang in the middle of a series he doesn't belong to? That ridiculous Wario render? Ganondorf hiding in the shadows like a badly-cropped screenshot? Dark Pit and no Lucas? ROB in his NES colors? An ape could come up with a better layout than this. Bowser Jr. and DHD have some nice fake renders, but this is 2014. Artists have come a long way from shoddy Brawl fakes. I don't buy it.

What the heck are Dr Mario, Dark Pit and Lucina doing far away from the other members of their respective franchises.

Also, why on Earth would they bring up Dr. Mario without bringing Mewtwo back (or maybe even Roy).

Alright, I didn't see anyone mention it here (unless I scrolled over it). There is so much wrong with just that one picture. The majority of the art is reused / badly edited, no name plates, the characters aren't even grouped by series, the list goes on.

Worst case scenario?

Incomplete roster.

If i had to guess clones, even still doesn't make sense

>No Ice Climbers

I think we're OK
Also, why cut characters like Lucas and Wolf if we're going to have Doctor f***ing Mario, King of the Clones, especially when he'd be the 7th Mario character.
I completely forgot about them. Unless they are unlockable now, for some reason.

I didn't even notice no ICs, I just assumed that even a fake CSS maker wouldn't be that monumentally stupid.

I'm gonna come clean...I'm a Dark Pit supporter. :( However, he's already lost his chance in being playable because of Palutena. At least give him a Silver Bow and a different voice if he's gonna be a Pit alt again.

May we please focus our attention back on Ridley. leaks are neat but G&W clipping through Warios icon and the fact that no names are shown below character icons (as you guys said before) are enough evidence to say this is fake.

That can be explained as Dr. Mario and Dark Pit being like Lucina, alt costumes that had different movesets to the original so at some point in development they were given their own CSS slot instead of being costumes with (slightly) different moveset to the core character.
Also the CSS placement may be to symbalise this, like the clones of Melee being around the edges of the CSS.

Alternately, Sakurai felt like a literal Mario clone was a more worthy addition than the Ice Climbers.

Whether it's real or fake, how could Sakurai/the leaker be so talented yet so incompetent?

Also, what's with the layout? Why are there so many empty spaces?

Don't give up so easily guys. This isn't 2007 anymore. People are more capable of creating high quality renders like those.

Anyone remember the Palutena leak?

Long time lurker, first time poster, simply because everyone is getting far to worried about this then they should. Come on my fellow Space Pirates! This leak has so much wrong with it you shouldn't even bat an eyelash! For starters, our glorious leader isn't on the roster. Obviously that makes it fake by default. But as other posters have brought up, there's many other reasons that discredit it. Odd renders, Ganondorf hiding in the shadows, no Ice Climbers or name plates.

Obviously this is a ruse to shake our faith in our great purple space dragon! Do not give up hope! In the end, we shall ride forward into the sweet valley of confirmation!

they're clones, so in theory, the clones are grouped together. althought why falco wouldn't be with them I couldn't tell you.

I wouldn't exactly say yoshi being with mario characters deconfirms anything lol. I dunno, on the one hand certain things about it make me think surely this isn't real, but then the character portraits at the bottom look really ****in real
