Do people seriously think the Sal leak is fake because Chrom's voice actor wasn't contacted as of April 2013???

Seriously? That doesn't make ANY sense.

Makes about as much sense as Gematsu Leakers ignoring all the holes in the leak, I'd imagine.

Though in all seriousness, I don't think anyone's seriously considering that unless they're a die hard anti-Gematsu Leaker.

What holes, exactly?

Oh what? I thought this happened recently. False alarm everybody.

Only a couple of days ago actually.

Oh. That looks more like a non-answer.

Everything after that is some funny ****.

Interesting.

Best things about the second Sal leak being fake (if it is, which I doubt, but still):

1) Chrom isn't playable. We can have a better FE rep.
2) More surprises.

Worst things about it:

1) Shulk's chances plummet.
2) No Chorus Kids. I was actually getting hyped for them.

I'll be alright with that.

 

[Grimnir]

Anyone who says they want the Chorus "kids" is a poser.

There. I said it.

 

[Bowserlick]

One day to see the Sal leak reveal itself. Exciting.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

There. I said it.

I just want them by association to Rhythm Heaven.

I'm not picky with who he chooses, although I would much prefer others from the series.

Nothing wrong with wanting a character from a fantastic series.

 

[Weeman]

Guys we were misguided, Plessie will be the 6th mario rep.

 

[Leafeon523]

Here's my assessment of the Sal Leak:
In favor of it being true:
-Why hasn't it been deconfirmed yet? A simple chorus men trophy could have easily end all of the speculation.
-All the characters are promotable. There are functional sites for all of them to be directed to in a "Want to know more about ..."
-He got a few characters right I guess...
In favor of it being false:
-I don't buy the story of him "getting some email"
-Why would Sakurai make a trio character after stating he was having trouble with duo characters?
-He leaked Palutena. Someone already beat you to that. Seems like he needed filler.
-Why did he say "Pokémon from X/Y? Greninja was announced immediately after. Did he seriously not know, and was he shooting in the dark? Had mewtwo been announced instead I'm sure people would still be calling him correct.

Go to the Sal Romano leak thread and read my post in the OP. Everything will make more sense.

**** yeah! I did predict that Plessie would be playable in Mario Kart one day.. also where did you get that?

1. He most certainly got an email. CAW Evolution, a very credible and respected GameFAQs member, clarified he talked to Sal's source. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/66442330
2. http://smashboards.com/threads/chor...nks-to-sal-romano.352915/page-4#post-16668146
3. I don't understand why people still believe in those images: http://smashboards.com/threads/e3-2014-rumor-leak-discussion-thread.355241/page-109#post-16845886
4. Dunno. Mewtwo isn't exactly an X/Y Pokemon like Greninja is, though. He's a G1 Pokemon that got relevant again through the new gen.

Apparently it's a rumor about DLC characters, it also had a pic about battle mode DLC

That would explain the leaks of Mario Kart 8 in the E3 , maybe we will hear about these DLC tomorrow also... if these DLC is true, that gives SSB a bigger chance on getting a couple of DLC

So... it's DLC, but no Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr., Dry Bones or King Boo?

Diddy kong is right there, next to Donkey Kong.

 

[Maxilian]

1- Diddy Kong is there

2- Well is not that hard to understand why Bowser Jr. isn't there, i mean... we have already 7 mini Bowsers

3- King Boo was replaced with a more recent character (Aka Plessie)

4- Dry Bones was replaced by someone more unique (Aka Lakitu)

Note: I'm not saying these's true but still there are good reasons why these character aren't in the game (YET)

No Dry Bowser despite the fact that he has his own level and would be easy to implement?

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

I thought that was already proven fake?

 

[Weeman]

It's still just a rumor, and it's not like you can predict wich characters they choose for Mario Kart after Pink Gold Peach

 

[praline]

If it's legit we might get more.

 

[Staarih]

Well, to be fair, it's pretty hard NOT to re-use character icons in Mario games these days, they all look the same as they always do.

 

[Maxilian]

I thought that was already proven fake?

Almost all character have reused icons (ignoring the new characters) so that's not a reason to say these "leak" is false

No Dry Bowser despite the fact that he has his own level and would be easy to implement?

True, but remenber in the end we got Pink Golden Peach instead of Dry Bowser and many others veterans so who knows who Nintendo may add

 

[praline]

Also i'd be surprised if we get dlc and Nabbit isn't one of them.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Spoiler

DK confirmed fake.

 

[Spinosaurus]

That picture is proven fake.

 

[The Light Music Club]

No it's because he wasn't contacted as of April 2014. That does make sense.

http://guardianlv.com/2014/04/interview-with-matthew-mercer-sakura-con-easter-weekend/

However, Mercer relayed that Nintendo has not yet reached out to him about lending his voice once again as Chrom.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Can we please take this whole Chrom thing with a grain of salt? We'll probably find out in 24 hours what is up with the FE cast.

Anyway, my final roster before E3 starts! The only things I'm iffy on are K. Rool/Dixie and the Miis. Other than that, that's it!

How does it look?

 

[Meandpikachu]

Ridley is my wishlist characters that I really want to see
Official Artwork on icons=Confirmed
Speia=Not Confirmed yet
White=Leak Characters

Spoiler

DK confirmed fake.

Yeah this probably the biggest argument to people who find the leak fake, unlike the Smash Bros. character selection screen, the roster screen for Mario Kart 8 reuses some of the official artwork.

 

[Bowserlick]

Plessie should be a kart. A living kart.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

No it's because he wasn't contacted as of April 2014. That does make sense.

http://guardianlv.com/2014/04/interview-with-matthew-mercer-sakura-con-easter-weekend/

It's not like there couldn't be a different voice actor. That stuff happens all the time.

This does nothing to the leak. At all.

 

[N3ON]

Please keep discussion about the validity of rumors and leaks elsewhere, especially those that aren't even about Smash.

 

[TumblrFamous]

You know, that roster up there looks pretty nice...

 

[Opossum]

Anyone who says they want the Chorus "kids" is a poser.

There. I said it.

Isn't it awkward when a moderator likes the Chorus Kids? Stop with the potential flaming.

Anyway, the Chrom thing doesn't mean much. NDA + Sal Leak. That's all that's really needed.

And cease all Mario Kart 8 discussion, or warnings will be given.

I never knew that, welp guess thats still possible then.
