Personally, I hope he doesn't do most of those as alts. While it would be really cool to have so many characters, I would much prefer each unique character got their own slot, even if they are complete clones. Oh well, from the sounds of it we will indeed be getting separate characters as alts, I'll just have to live with it and hope that somebody figures would a way to mod the game to give them their own slots before long.
Just another excuse people have made for the "leaker". He has never claimed anything like that. Heck, he hasn't even claimed that his information is "outdated".
Like who? i understand Daisy but... well Dr. Mario is way too much like Mario (he could be a clone to make happy the Melee players), Bossy is a cool Yoshi..., Roy... well IMO these's the only way we are going to get Roy if we do get him (Lucina killed his chance of comming back at least as a clone)
I use mobile and has nine. Well, I don't know about the others.
If you're tired of people begging for them, then the only solution to that is to add them to the game. Otherwise, people will just keep asking.
I'm fine with characters like Dr. Mario, it was mostly Daisy, Roy, and Boshi. Though I guess Boshi might work out fine, I just see Yoshi as a character of his own and not just a generic Yoshi.
that had been awesome. Warning though, searching him may give huge spoilers to the game.
Megaman destroyed my dream of seeingMan, I just made myself really sad. Besides Phoenix Wright and Amaterasu, I just thought of another perfect character that's dreams got crashed by Megaman. Sissel from Ghost Trick
Speaking of which the Sissel alt for Phoenix Wright in UMvC3 are the kind of alts I'm fine with.
Pretty much this.
Chrom was never planned. He was considered.
If we do end up getting Shulk and a RH character, I think assuming Chrom was indeed planned at one point would be a fairly safe thing to do. Sakurai rarely paints a full picture of what actually happened in development. Last time he eliminated the possibility of an AC character because they were too peaceful and didn't fit with the fighting atmosphere of Smash, and pretty much everyone took that to mean he just rejected the possibility at point blank, not that he attempted to include an AC character and couldn't, and therefore conjured up a statement about them being too peaceful to fight.
I said it in the post you quoted.
No.
...it's always been assumed that it was outdated.
And if the leak is outdated, we can't trust it anymore
I disagree.
I've read that "excuse" as being a legitimate statement by the informant. I'm not trying to make up random excuses as to justify the informant being wrong about Chrom.
When did Gematsu say anything about Ridley? It's pretty obvious that they didn't know/didn't reveal all of the newcomers. If you're saying that Ridley isn't in because Gematsu didn't say he was, then you're going to have to explain Rosalina.
The leaker has information when Chrom was considered, meaning that Shulk and Chorus could have been scrapped too, Shulk may be one of the newcomers but considering they were having troubles with the ice climbers then it should be fairly obvious that they would have even more troubles with the chorus men and could have been scrapped and replaced with someone else, the guy probably had info about the e3 and guessed the rest knowing the wii fit trainer would make everyone worship and blindy believe everything he says, oh and I don't need an outdated leak to know that Ridley is in, I just need to make a quick analyzis instead of relying on a wrong leak because frankly, Ridley has way more evidence compared to Shulk and Chorus Men to be playable
Just because it has "always been assumed" (which isn't even true) doesn't change the fact that it's an excuse people came up with for the "leaker", rather than something he stated himself.
Ya, with his clone status, absence from Skyward Sword, and not officially in Hyrule Warriors, i think Ganondorf might be cut ONLY for this game. Come Smash 5 he will probably be in more games and replace Ghirahim. Plus Miley Cyrus would be an awesome Ghirahim alt
Bubble gum, gliding mechanics, hair grabs/throws and normal attacks. Yeah, I can see Dixie being a prime candidate for semi-clone. Impa makes the most sense as a Sheik alt to me.
Even with the Chrom blunder, its record is still impressive. All this tells us is that the leaker is prone to filling in the blanks with his own conclusions. That's a pretty bad habit to have if you want to be taken seriously, but that's neither here nor there. I think the leak will at minimum forecast Shulk correctly. The Chorus Kids will be the most telling, since realistically speaking, numerous characters from Rhythm Heaven could be playable: Wrestler, Karate Joe, Marshal, Chorus Kids, or even MC Adore.
