It's sorta odd all the big new nintendo heavy hitters are unlocked already though. Just makes the 35 character roster seem less real IMO. I mean would Sakurai really have us only unlock 6 more new characters and the rest be returning? Seems fishy. I'm almost certain we more than 6 new comers to unlock.
Finally, people are seeing why this roster was a bad idea. If he wanted to release all of these newcomers as starters, you'd think it was safe to assume that there would be a bunch of surprise secret characters, or at least as many as veterans. The secret characters are a big part of the thrill of playing through single player, but not when most of them were in previous games. I wouldn't be so disappointed if I hadn't known about 80 % of the newcomers.
btw, as far as I'm concerned WW Link only counts as half of newcomer, as he's basically a replacement for Young Link.
I'd also like to point out that it in fact does NOT make it seem less real. In fact, these characters would fit perfectly on the dojo: Wolf, Lucario, WW Link, and R.O.B. would evenly finish off the Newcomers' last row of 4. The 8 vets would finish off the final two rows of four for the Veterans. I personally would be more than content if we had just 4 more vets after the ones in the leak. it would make soo much more sense..
edit: nevermind, I just realised that the vets would not finish off evenly...
