Does anybody know if the mii fighters will have their own slot?, i saw someone saying that the treehouse guys said that they would replace the random slot if you turn customization on, but i can't find the moment where they say that. Can anybody confirm this?.

I think we'll see Ness or Lucas next at post release going by the third Sal leak, we will most likely get Wario, Captain Falcon, and Metaknight as the release gets closer.

You have shown me nothing but ignorance and are conveniently using the Galaxy appearance for Captain Toad as opposed to the more relevant appearance from 3D World and his own game (which would be how he would appear in Smash) to make a point.


Rather than waste any more of my time and sanity continuing this idiotic discussion, I'm simply going to ignore you from here on out.
The only reason I used his Galaxy artwork is because it was the only official art that showed up on google images for me (besides, the only difference between his Galaxy and 3DWorld/TT look is his explorer's outfit).

Anyways, I suppose it's a good thing thing that you've put me on ignore if my posts are making you angry enough to repeatedly insult me in your replies rather than discuss things in a civil manner.

Speaking of rosters, here is mine!

NOTES:
Blue is for starters, Green is for unlockables and Purple is for DLC.
Mii Fighters are separated due to being customizable.
The third part of the leak never truly did say that Lucas is cut so I just put him there just for hope.
So, rate, comment, like, subscribe.

No Jiggs? Are you insane?
Yes, yes I am. *Evil laughter* :evil::demon:

Four Fire Emblem characters and all of them are sword-weilding lords? Why not Robin or Anna? For that matter, why Lucina over Chrom?
Lucina over Chrom? Because I have a huge bias against Chrom, I find her more unique than Chrom, and she's as important to the story as both Chrom and Robin. I also wouldn't mind Robin or Anna (heck, I had Robin on alot of my rosters before)
Snake's a bold choice. Especially after Sakurai mentioned how amazing it was to have Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man together. I would like Snake to make it back, but I don't think it's happening at this point bar DLC.
I can imagine Snake being one of the last characters revealed, and I don't really find having Mario, Sonic, Megaman, and Pac-Man being found amazing hurting his chances, Snake still has almost no reason to leave.

Is there a reason you doubt the Sal leak?
I take all leaks with a grain of salt, and it's still possible for it to be fake, although it does look very likely at this point in time. That, and I just don't like rosters that have all of Sal's characters, as they seem to lake creativity to me.

EDIT: Also regarding Sal, his information (if true) is obviously outdated, so any character who he's says is playable could have been scrapped, or outright replaced.
I like the pick of Captain Toad, but I doubt he'll happen.
You can replace Toad with any other viable Mario character, as I know he's pretty unlikely.

....no? Who else would DLC be for? Cut characters due to TIME CONSTRAINTS, YOU KNOW, ACTUAL CHARACTERS THEY WANTED TO GET IN, would be top priority.
If they wanted Lucas in then they'd just put him in. I'm no programmer but I would imagine creating a character with similar qualities to an already existing character wouldn't be that difficult.

I guess Snake can be in, but I think he is cut.

Villager has his Up Smash and a modified Side B, and his Final Smash has been obviously taken by Zamus. This does not mean he cannot be in. Characters share moves and there are similar Final Smashes. But he was not revealed yet on top of his dissected moveset so I am going to predict cut.

In the words of the great Sakurai:
"Have you ever designed a game before?"

Honestly, it's a completely different character. I mean, Dr. Mario was planned for Brawl, but was cut due to time constraints. The same can happen again, and both of them can actually come back for DLC.

Ness and Lucas are very similar in weight and movement. Their specials are riffs on each other. I think it makes sense to merge their good qualities together and keep all the specials from both characters as either the regular specials or custom specials. So only one character is needed.

I would keep Ness. Lucas seemed like he snatched some qualities from Mewtwo such as Neutral air and Down Smash. Bring Mewtwo back.

I can't see it happening but as you stated before I have never made a game before, so what do I know. I personally wouldn't buy his Dlc because I would already have Ness, but clearly I'm in the minority.

Says someone who always believed it without any objections at all.
Says someone biased against it.

Yeah, I always believed it. What does that matter? Looks like I was right!

He hasn't been wrong yet. Every character he predicted has been correct. There is a Rhythm Heaven enemy in Smash Run.

There isn't really much debate besides simply not wanting it.

He didn't account for Rosalina. Explain that.
Why would he say that they are "debating" cutting Lucas when there's no way they're still deciding characters?

Rosalina not being in the leak has nothing to do with Gematsu's credibility. Right now could be the phase on doing last minute clones, so Sakurai having a debate with Ness and Lucas isn't that far fetched.

We're aloud to not believe a leak. Don't tell me we can't. That's just disrespectful.
OK then, but if you want to predict the roster, you have Gematsu by your side as your strategy guide.

The leak is not objectively certain beyond a reasonable doubt; it is true based on a preponderance of the evidence. In fact, it is fallacious to believe it in its entirely. Just because it has not been wrong yet (despite already being wrong) does not mean it will never be wrong. You seem to be laboring under the delusion that guessing the majority of characters (all of which 2 3 were difficult) means that the leak is real and that gods be praised we must adhere to its teachings. This is not the case until every single character on that list is confirmed to be playable.

By the way, the exclusion of Rosalina probably has to do with the fact that leaking her after she was confirmed months ago would of been redundant. Also keep in mind the first batch of characters were the first half of the leak anyway.

Yes, it sort of does have something to do with it's credibility.
And the game is being released in three months. They're not deciding characters; there's not enough time for that.

It doesn't seem excessive to be including this many non nintendo characters in a Nintendo game? If Snake comes back (which I hope he does) then I want a second sonic character as Dlc. XD
Not really, I've had 4 3rd party characters on a 50 character roster for a long time, and now that my roster went up to about 55 (seeing as no trasformations are in the game anymore) that wouldn't really be that much. (And I'm severely doubting any 2nd character of the same company, let alone the same franchise)

Tell me how Rosalina destroys it then.
Yes they are, Bamco are probably at the low priority character phase now
deciding who should be in the main roster and which to put in the Forbidden Seven, I'm most confident about that.

I'm conflicted on the leak. I think the newcomers are spot on, at least the ones he has predicted. I mean, he predicted "Mii Fighter". I think he knows something. There could be some exaggerations in there, I'm sure of it, but the man should know something.
