It's fake but a roster shouldn't be counted out just because it's "****ty."

When Brawl's roster was leaked, people were quick to dismiss it saying.

"No Geno/Ridley/Mega Man so not believing it."
Or
"There's no way they would cut a unique character like Mewtwo."
Or my favorite
"There's no way it's only 35 characters! No way Sakurai would do this to us. R.O.B.? SERIOUSLY?"

And then look what happened.
Can you explain to me why you think that it is fake? I really wanna feel better.

And:

The name here suggests its an ESRB testing 3DS. Only...

That's from the ESRB site. All of this is taken from the Neogaf thread by the way, so you can see more of this stuff there. Again, it's a very good effort and we're getting close to the game's release in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a real leak soon. However, there are a couple of details in this one that are off despite looking very good.

Sakurai knows exactly what he's doing with this PotD. If his love of pleasing fans is consistent, we'll see something very soon.
Didn't Sakurai once say that what he puts in Smash Bros sometimes confuses him?

Honestly that duck hunt dog picture doesn't even seem like the duck hunt dog to me. Reminds me more of mic key mouses dog, pluto, without the bump on his head.

So, I find a leak. I say It looks fake, and if it is real I will be extremely disappointing. having all characters I care about right now cut replaced with one that do not deserve a spot on the roster. But it is obviously fake, who cares.

Go on Ridley Thread. Everyone is losing there minds over this thing.

Also worth pointing out, how does Dedede magically change his height in the top right images? In the first he's head-height with Yoshi, in the next he's the same height as Donkey Kong.
Unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean, these images line up perfectly.

So it's fake but a very good fake? Thank goodness.

That's actually... quite odd... Why the hell DO they line up so easily? It doesn't make SENSE for them to line up.

Don't rule it out from being real, you don't want to be disappointed if it is. They could've touched up the CSS slightly. Granted that's HIGHLY unlikely, but keep that in mind.

Not gonna lie. When I first came on this site and saw this I panicked. Now seeing all the weird stuff with the pics people have pointed out...Definitely fake. A really good fake though.

Tell me about it. I was amazed at the Mega Man / Ridley / Mewtwo parts myself. I guess the phrase "life is a box of chocolates" keeps on holding true.

The sad thing is, real or fake, that many fans (Ridley, Mewtwo, Shulk, DHD...) had to sweat this out on both sides because of how little information on the roster we have. This is truly awful.

EDIT: I do remember somebody on GameFAQs saying that they were going to try to make a leak so real that nobody would be able to tell and that they were going to start right around or after E3. Just an FYI.

Welcome aboard supporter. I too lurked this thread for a while till I concurred my laziness and made a profile. Sorry you joined at such an odd/hectic time with that fake leak roaming about. I assure you Ridley is usually the main focus here. enjoy your stay. unlike Miiverse or Youtube we guarantee your safety from those pesky Ridley haters/detractors.
Glad to hear it! Those darn pesky detractors always try to give me wedgies.

I said before that leaks do nothing but derail the thread, and look, the threads gone multiple pages about the leak and there's barely any mention of Ridley, use the leak thread, or at least make your post somewhat relevant to Ridley. I swear it's like people aren't even trying anymore.

Mind ya'll, even if this isn't fake, that there's still some space open on that roster. Furthermore, Sakurai loves Wolf. There's no reason for the space canine to be cut.

And, of course, Ice Climbers.

Well I panicked for second until I really looked at the roster. What a convincing fake, and by that I mean how glaringly obvious it was to me. Still what a scare for everyone.

You guys don't actually believe this do you? There are so many inconsistencies.

Game and Watch's hand is clipping through to Wario.
Human players have cpu levels.
Duck hunt dog is called Duck Hunt...that makes no sense.
ESRB don't play the games they just rate them based on documents about the game. (At least that's what I've heard)
Dr.Mario, Lucina and Dark Pit are bunched together well away from their franchise.
Yoshi is in the middle of the Mario characters when he reps his own games.
Leaker apparently knows all the characters since he claims Lucas, Wolf and Ice Climbers are cut, yet doesn't know about Mewtwo's playability.

Come on...
That last part doesn't make sense. Anyway, good luck with your Ridleyness guys!

Only thing is if this is real and the final roster, then ridley gone. But fret not, there are many things wrong with it and its spaced weird, like brawls starting roster css

Guys guys you did find some decent leak-disproving evidence, but there was one thing that got it for me right away:

I find it humorous that people are already pulling the "you're denial" card and jumping the gun. Because that worked out so well with all the other "legit" leaks in the past.

On the flip side, people are already crying it's fake because it doesn't have the character they want on it.

Everyone seems to be jumping the gun here. From what I've seen from the evidence on both sides the answer isn't as black and white as people may think. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if this became real. But I'm going to sit back for a while before jumping into this.

---

Anyways, to keep this slightly Ridley related, I'm calling bets on nothing special for today's PoTD. Not even Metroid related.
