It's possible that whoever made the video for the ESRB manually put the top and bottom screenshots together for every slide. What really confuses me is the fact that the square to the right of random is seemingly transparent.
So going off of that, what reason could they possibly have for changing that design? That would be breaking from Smash tradition and make Ness less faithful to his original design. Not to mention, with the extreme attention to detail this game clearly has, I find it hard to believe that they would just not care about something like this.
Honestly, I do not necessarily believe that an argument pertaining to an arbitrary pattern should elicit an "either or fallacy" regarding Sakurai's design choices. I vote for option three... the design is different despite tradition. This neither confirms or refutes the leak. In fact, I hardly believe it is relevant.
Guess not.
Quite the Kid Icarus fan eh? I just borrowed Uprising from a friend the other day and started playing it, absolutely loving it so far, so I respect Kid Icarus love. I'd personally have Hades and Medusa before Dark Pit (I mean they just look awesome first of all), but I'm all for more reps from Kid Icarus the more and more I think about it. Hell you're the one who sold me on Dark Pit in truth. I regret putting him as a least anticipated newcomer at some point (Still not my first choice, but I do support him now) .And of course Ridley and Mewtwo are two of my most desperately wanted characters, so hats off for at least getting the honorable mentions. No love for K. Rool though?
Including Wolf, Lucas, Snake, Ice Climbers, and Chorus Men as DLC. Then yes, it is the full roster.
Just to say, if you look at you own signature line of characters, you can see just a hint of that yellow stripe in the bottom left of his shirt. It's a very small thing, but it's a clear detail. It's like Lucina's brand in her right eye if her lineage didn't need it to be proven. Considering DK can have 40 trillion strands of hair to look fluffy beyond belief, why skip out on that quirky little part of his design?
Ice Climbers as DLC WTF?
I have to question why those characters would be DLC and not part of the initial roster, especially considering most of those are Brawl veterans.
Time constraints? But that doesn't make sense to me as Subspace is not in this game anymore.
According to?
This.
Jr. is fine. I wanted him to begin with. Dark Pit is the number one reason I'm upset. So if having the most enemies in Smash Run, a bajillion new items, and a newcomer to put it on par with Metroid and over F-Zero in terms of characters wasn't enough, it has to have one newcomer. I'm sorry, but if we've really gotten to the point where Mewtwo is gone for good, but Dr. Mario and Dakr Pit are A-okay, I don't really trust Sakurai with the inevitable SSB5.
I do have a question regarding this, how does the alleged leaker know which characters are DLC? Is that just a presumption on our end or did he literally assert that those were the five characters?
In that case, I can only question how he has that sort of information... does the game tell you what the DLC characters are once you boot it up?!He asserted. See right pic.
That's a possibility.
After being cut from Brawl, Sakurai decide to increase the priority of our favorite Melee veteran
Apparently that's Wario's shoulder.
His arm isn't overlapping.
I'm more concerned about Wario's left eye. Is his pupil being obscured by his nose? Because as it is, his eye looks pretty lifeless and creepy.
I do find it bizarre that such a detail would all of a sudden be ignored in this iteration. I don't think fan theories like "well, they just changed it" is enough to pass it over.
I find this leak to be pretty plausible, nor I am really against it (I mean, my expectations were low from the start so this is right up my alley) but I find it pretty irritating that when any sort of point is put against the leak, whether it's big or small, it's automatically considered "straw-grasping."
I am not sure why you are using my post as an example. False could not objectively refute the leak, therefore he only served to point out one additional inconsistency (there are a plethora of them); HOWEVER, that was not why I pulled out the "straw grasp" card. I pulled out that card because he turned the entire scenario into an either or fallacy and insinuated that the one inconsistency he found proves the leak to be false (pun not intended).So, assuming this is the roster, I find it bizarre that they would throw Wolf, Lucas, Ice Climbers and Snake to DLC for derivatives such as Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, Lucina, and Mii Fighters. I personally find that to be a hilariously terrible decision. But, at least they're still DLC.
Overall, I find the roster meh. Megaman, Little Mac, Rosalina, Robin, and Villager offer more interesting playstyles to Smash, while I find the rest to be largely uninspired and lacking playstyles (I was especially disappointed with Palutena, to the point where now I actually wish Medusa was in instead since she probably would have offered more to the game).

This is Gematsu all over again. Funny too, since many the people who religiously defend this leak now are doing the same things that the Gematsu defenders did. It would be wise for people on both sides to not be so hasty.
This. All day.
I will believe the leak once he records some Dark Pit game-play with his cellphone. As of current; however, pictures are not enough.
Fair enough about the fallacious second point, but I still don't see any of it remotely "straw-grasping".
This would be the most significant to me. Though my pessimism largely finds the leak plausible anyway.
Apparently on the bottom screen blows them up nice & big enough to see their model, with the name conveniently down there too. Still a tad skeptical of that.
I would assume limited space, but even then the organization of the CSS is the wackiest I've seen yet. We'll find out within the month or until this person decides to upload some conclusive evidence like gameplay footage or even in game screens of the models.
Because they changed it obviously, or they needed more space, or insert another typical straw grasp here
