Well, I have found a lot of evidence of it being outdated info, so I am certain it's not the whole roster. I mean, really, the biggest reveals for the game so far are characters owned by other companies. Isn't that just a little sad?

Yeah... My friend (who is very casual about Smash compared to you and I) said it best, "Mega Man is honestly the only exciting addition". Ridley and Mewtwo would save it, though.
Kenith

Yeah, that's definitely true. All the other characters who have been revealed appeal to a very specific audience. Mega Man is loved by any gamer, as the event at the Invitational Tourney would indicate. Pac-Man, even more so.

But a lot less people care about the likes of Palutena, Rosalina, Greninja, etc.

Yeah, like I said earlier, there aren't really any Nintendo All-Stars. :/

Left to add, you mean?
I'm confident Mewtwo is in the game. There's literally no reason why he would not be. Even if Sakurai makes consistently terrible decisions, there's no way he is THAT utterly incompetent.

I hope you're right, my friend.

I have yet to fail a character prediction yet (except Mii Fighters, but that doesn't count)
TeenGirlSquad
TeenGirlSquad
Hah, did you predict Miis instead of Mii Fighters? No sweat, they're basically the same thing. What others are you predicting for Sm4sh, if I may ask?
Kenith
Kenith
I don't consider Mii Fighters to be the same as what everyone expected Miis to be like. I argued against Miis using tactics from their games (generic sports gear, swords/magic, etc.) because I didn't think that warranted a character. I was right; I didn't anticipate, however, that they would simply make them into what is essentially Character Creator.

As for my predictions: Ridley, Tactician, Ghirahim.

Oh, that's always what I hoped Miis would be, since Brawl! I'm very pleased by Sakurai's decision. :)

I would be happy if those were our four remaining newcomers (besides the Sal newcomers). But I sadly don't see Robin happening, with Chrom getting in. And Ghirahim doesn't seem all that likely, though I'd like to see him in the game just because everything about his presence screams "fighting game character", and because LoZ deserves a new NEW rep after all this time.

Honestly, I don't mind Miis being implemented in such a way, it actually makes them worth it. Although I do fear what it means for the rest of the roster. And the fact they are not available (not even the default moveset) in With Anyone mode is really dumb.
Kenith
Kenith
As for the character predictions, if I predicted likely characters, I would be a fraud. Anyway, unlike everyone else, I don't find Chrom all that likely anymore. And I have been consistently finding evidence towards Ghirahim's inclusion.
TeenGirlSquad
TeenGirlSquad
Ooo, why don't you find Chrom likely? :O

And what's your evidence? :)
Kenith
Kenith
Chrom is the most redundant newcomer choice ever. He adds absolutely nothing to the game except fanservice. Assuming the Gematsu leak is outdated, Chrom may have been planned to replace Ike (like Lucas v. Ness) but they opted against it and brought back Ike. I can't see them co-existing, it would be very redundant.
Kenith
Kenith
As for Ghirahim, my "evidence" is somewhat subjective, but I think it counts for something.
TeenGirlSquad
TeenGirlSquad
You do have a point about Chrom, he's my least wanted (likely) newcomer and my least favorite part about the Gematsu leak for that reason. And you do have a good theory about him being planned to replace Ike, but Sakurai going back on it. That's the same theory that I came up with in my head just now. xD

So maybe it's true. Hopefully.
Kenith
Kenith
I hope so. I believe that Sal's information is outdated, but valid. As there's no way he would be told about an X/Y Pokemon with new info, when the chosen Pokemon was Greninja for a very long time.
