Is this sarcasm? I don't really get the comparison.
Kids can play pokemon, which means pikachu is not subjected to violent scenes neither (even if he gets poisoned or cut by an olympic god).
Miis are in the same position.

If you're believing the Gematsu leak, you're gonna have to cut someone for Pac-Man and Mii. :p
Did I not just finish saying I didn't do it based off of said leak, but rather the STYLE of THIS:



And I included Chorus Man because I like Rhythm Heaven and find it a heavily underrated Nintendo franchise.

Smash is rated T anyways, a child shouldnt be playing something like smash in first place.
The great irony with this statement is that kids gravitate towards material that is intended for adult audiences and shun material that is supposed to be in their demographic.

Also it's worth mentioning that Super Smash Bros. starting with Super Smash Bros. Melee is only rated T outside of Japan due to the factor that varies characters beat each other up.

it shows 50 boxes, 1 seems most likely the "random"/"?" box probably the far right bottom corner. beside the random, would be Mii (A character that is a avator/ or you).
that would make 48 characters. Rosalina X leak?

I know it sounds too far fetched. but just pointing out a possibility.

Hey, Hai, I was bored, here's a Roster:

Done in the same style as the supposed "Real Roster".
Replacing snake which I bet his cut, with the Mii.

The character on the far left of the bottom row is Pikachu...it's a 17x3 styled roster...a rather odd choice to be honest.

There's no reason why this game shouldn't be rated E10+; the content isn't strong enough to warrant such a rating.

Better leaks should be coming out than this. Only two weeks until E3. When the 3DS comes out people will know the full roster the following day.

I am a little surprised that nothing is seeping through the cracks.

Seriously,where is Ike (and Bowser) in that leak?

EDIT : Isn't that a big disclaimer? We search for one pixel to disprove it,when something is obviously amiss.

uhm the presence of the visual content is enough, thats how rating works.
Some cartoon can have guns and never use them, but they are there, and must be rated.

But can you honestly say that Smash is on the same level of violence as in most games? I definitely don't see Smash's content as violent as something like Street Fighter or Tekken, so I believe it should be re-rated to fit that. I fail to see what exactly Smash did to earn a transition from E to a T rating from the original to Melee, which should have been changed to E10+ in Brawl and this upcoming game.

Me neither, im agree, im just saying how it works.

I think the rate is mainly because it use realistic graphics mixed with violent situations, kinda like three stooges which makes it somewhat imitable.
Punch Out Wii got an E10+ and is rated as "comic mishchief", while smash is "crude humor", something kinda dumb but makes sense.

And? Other fighting games are worse in this regard. Smash Bros. is probably the major fighting franchise with the least amount of sexualization going on.
True, but I'm pretty sure she was a huge part of it. And Snake's Codec calls ("Samus took her clothes off!" "Politicians make strange bedfellows.")

Though I would argue that Melee should've been E or E10+. Melee was pretty tame.

Guys. Guys.
The leak killed itself and I already threw it in the trash where it belongs yesterday.
Stop bringing it back up. It was only relevant to Smash Discussion yesterday. Today it just looks sad.

So since we have killed all the leaks for now time for some speculation. What do you guys think of a 6th mario or zelda character?

Miis are in the same position.
Pokemon has the same level of violence as Smash Bros.
Pokemon is a game about training monsters to fight each other in cartoony, non-lethal battles - essentially it is a sport.
Pikachu is subjected to literally nothing more violent in Smash Bros. than he is in Pokemon games. Like Pokemon, there is no blood, no death, and the losers are shown alive and well at the end of every match. It is likewise essentially a mixed martial arts sport... with a ton of cartoon violence and weapons.
That said, while Smash Bros. is no more violent than Pokemon, it is still more violent than any Mii game.
Miis are not in the same position as Pokemon. A better comparison would be between Miis and Animal Crossing characters.

My point is not that Smash Bros is violent. It's very tame compared to most fighting games. My point is that because it is more violent than any game featuring playable Miis released so far, Nintendo may fear that it will somehow damage the non violent image they have crafted for Miis, and that because Miis can be made to resemble real people, this can pose a more serious PR problem than including fictional characters from games that were already about fighting to begin with.

You can believe whatever you like, but I personally think that Miis are less likely to be playable in this particular game for those and other reasons.
I see the fact that certain people could be offended by a certain Mii as being the biggest problem in Nintendo's eyes.

Domokl,please. Get on my level. Choose something that we hardly talk about. I don't want an argument on how Paper Mario is more probable than Bowser Jr.

The rate of us talking about this is TOO DAMN HIGH!
