The "pattern" of a grass type is just in theory, sadly.

But I do admit a small part of me was hoping to see Grovyle or Sceptile be revealed after Greninja when watching the trailer for the first time.

Why exactly are we forced to get a Grass type?
Because each starter type needs to get represented for some reason.
We don't care what we get, just so long as stuff gets represented...apparently.

Though, granted, I will miss Ivysaur, but not because it means we won't have a grass-type. Ivysaur was my favorite of the three to use.

Even when we get a curveball like Charizard coming back solo with Greninja coming out of nowhere, we still try to make sense of it with "mur patterns!"

I've just given up at this point, it seems like even Sakurai doesn't know what he's doing.

Well, here is what the roster is shaping up to be. On top we have Every revealed character + all Brawl Vets - Snake - Ivysaur & Squirtle + Leaks.
This gives us 48 character slots.

On the bottom I have put a few characters which I feel could come in to fill in the last 2 to 4 spots, eventually leaving us with a 50~52 character roster.
This is OK by me!

Alright K. Rool...just slide right over beneath Shulk, plug in the random slot, and I think the roster's ready to go!

Yes, because we got the same exact thing in Smash 64 and Melee, and last time it was around it was implemented so incredibly well everyone was crying rainbows.
I didn't get what you mean... :/

EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you meant.

Just my personal opinion, but I think you should take off Marshal and replace him with Krystal.

I assure you that Krystal is anything but unlikely!
I assure you I've heard enough arguments from both sides. I won't call Krystal likely, but I won't get into a debate.

@ Sebz Sebz
I think you should add K. Rool/Dixie to the main roster. I honestly can't see us not getting a DK newcomer this time. The rest of the roster is pretty standard, which is okay by me.

Whats up with Marshall nowadays?
I guess people just want a Rhythm Heaven character. Either the Wrestler, Karate Joe, that one girl, or Marshal.

What's the point of replacing one unlikely character with another?
There's always a point when said replacing character is Grovyle the Thief.

Oh i see. The same guy as the previous who leaked Mii, Pacman and Little Mac? I assume this came before the direct. I find it strange that he/she leaks these very close to directs, but i mean whatever, thats their choice. Also, just "Pokemon X/Y" character raises some eyebrows. I'm not sure what to think of this, but it certainly is interesting.

The Rhythm Heaven character would certainly be pretty "WTF"

Well, the same source leaked "Wii Fitness trainer" and "Boy from Animal Crossing" so it's not surprising that he would address Greninja as "a Pokemon X/Y" or Marshall as "Choir men".

Im not going to rely too heavily on it, because we have yet to see Mii and Pacman, who both have good chances anyways. I guess were going to find out at E3, where Pacman will most likely be revealed.

It makes me kind of nervous because K Rool isn't in the leak, but i mean, Rosalina wasn't either, and she managed to get in.

I'm just happy it's one of the few that isn't "I work at Nintendo. I only know so little though." and then goes into detail about characters everyone expects.

Well the leak didn't reveal the full roster, it's only released bits and pieces before major events. Before E3 2013, the source revealed
Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, Little Mac, Mii, and Pac-Man. Then right before the direct it spilled the beans on Palutena, Shulk, Chrom, "Chorus Men", and X/Y Pokemon.
There's still a chance that, for whatever reason, the leaker decided not to leak other characters (Ex: Rosalina as you so stated).
Still, the fact that he predicted WFT and so far it's been accurate, I hold this leak to be true.

I always take leaks with a grain of salt, regardless of how well they hold up. That being said, it looks like it is quite possible

A fourth Star Fox clone with little importance to the series? That sounds inevitable.

inb4 people give me that staff gibberish.

That is true not to mention there was a miniscule amount of star fox related material in the smash direct
It would be naive to assume that means literally anything.

>five veteran supporting character franchises for newcomers only

ehh

I mean it's not a terribad roster. I'd take it. It's 51 characters. Better than that 48 bs.
I'd be really surprised if we didn't get at least fifty characters when all is said and done. I really don't see anymore cuts aside from Snake and Squirtle/Ivysaur (though I guess Ike has an extremely slight chance, but it's negligible) and I expect at least fourteen newcomers (if we put put Melee veterans together as well). Since that's the same character increase as with Smash 64, it's hardly unrealistic.

For veterans, I'd add Ridley, but I can't see him get in. We might see Dixie or Krystal though, but I'd only expect Dixie if we get anymore.

What would people think if this was the final roster?
Good:
-Has Palutena (+1)
-Mewtwo and Jiggly and not just Jiggly(+.5)
-King K Rool (+.5)

Neutral:
-No Ridley
-Marshall

Bad:
-Pac-Man but no Snake (-2)
-Mii (-1)
-Chrom (ANY female rep would be better) (-1)
-Mach Rider (Rather have DH Dog, Hikari, Lip, Takumaru) (-.5)


I wouldn't care too much for it because even though I really like Plautena, and am glad about Mewtwo with Jiggs and King K (+2) but I also really hate Pac-Man even more without Snake, Mii, and Chrom with no Female rep for FE (-4.5)

So -2.5 But of course it's not like Brawl wasn't the same way.

Well, it's not the worst leak I've seen.
At least it's not a wishlist.

Though, I'm interested in Marshall.
How would he be implemented?
I'm guessing he's have a lot of moves based on rhythm button pushes. Such as his AAA combo having a rhythm to make it the most effective.

I always thought Ridley SHOULD be a playable character and still do.
I just don't THINK he will be playable.

New roster on the way, be prepared.
