And there you go. Green = Wii U Starter, Blue = 3DS Starter, Red = Unlockables. Pink = lol.

Selfishly, it is perfect. I easily want Dixie over K. Rool. Heck, I'd personally prefer Lord Fredrik over K. Rool. For the sake of others, I do hope he gets in eventually, but the G+ roster perfectly fits my personal tastes (save for C. Toad, whom I don't expect to be in this game outside of maybe DLC).

While it does not have K Rool, as argued about in this thread for 2 pages, I do not expect him to be playable given current evidence. But I love dixie as well. So I do like that roster.

Captain Toad wpuld be a perfect choice for DLC

 

[queenrosetta]

Wario's Woods does have Toad as the main character. Wario is the villain.
Also when I say Toad, I'm referring to what most think of as The Toad, namely the Toad you play as in Mario Kart.

You play Tetris in the game I really don't think that counts as him being playable.
And Still not the same. Captain toad is a full fledged character. Not a generic toad. If he was just the generic toad then it would be called "toads treasure tracker" and we would all know that it's generic toad going on an adventure. But no they say captain toad bc that's who it is the character captain toad

I have to question why you have Krystal listed among the likes of Xerneas and Captain N. I don't think Krystal will actually be playable, but at the very least she's a respectable character choice with good justifications for her inclusion. She shouldn't be put in the same category as those other characters.

I agree with everything you've said! It would even make my roommate happy which is hard to do

Edit: which I should add he's only happy if he gets Isaac which never appears on rosters anymore

 

[Pizzanigs]

Wait...people are actually taking the Gematsu Plus leak seriously?

Until it's proven false (within 2 weeks if Wario isn't announced) there's nothing wrong with talking about it.

 

[queenrosetta]

I think it's more of a wishing it was true rather than believing.
Considering it started on gamefaqs I'm pretty sure it's fake but it would make for a good roster so fingers crossed

 

[Mr. Keebs]

All hail the Gematsu Leak. I really want to see the Chorus Boy! XD

 

[TitanTeaTime]

So wait, what is this "gematsu plus" leak? I've heard of the gematsu leak (aka sal leak) but can somebody fill me in on this other one?

Gematsu leak + Isaac, Dixie, Ridley, and Mewtwo pretty much. Guy said Wario will be announced within 2 weeks.

Actually, those are characters I'd want my my dream roster. They also have a lol-chance of happening.

Oh, I think I actually do recognize it.
But... are people really trusting it because of something that hasn't happened yet, very well might not happen and could be simply a coincidence if it does? Plus, Wario is a very safe character to bet on being revealed soon... As much as I like Ridley and Mewtwo, I'm taking no stock in this at all.

If its not directly from Sal, don't give it credit. "Here let me tack on some stuff I know people would like"

Yeah idk. I don't remember exactly what the guy said that made home sound more legitimate than the other gamefaqs leakers.

 

[Xenorange]

Today's POTD tho.... Very nice Sakurai. MURICA!

 

[Rockaphin]

Does anyone else think that Mario alt is hideous? I'm glad he has one, but I was hoping for something "different" I guess. . . Oh well.

I'm never going to not play as that alt. It's so patriotic I wanna cry.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

It's not really an alt costume, it's just a fancy pallette swap. Alt costumes have model differences, this is just a texture edit, so it doesn't stop him from getting an actual alt costume. Compare it to Little Mac's Wireframe skin which is also just a texture edit, he still got an actual alt costume in the end.

 

[Cobalsh]

Does anyone else think that this pic makes Dark Pit all the less likely to not be a palette swap? Not like we didn't all think this already, but it does give it some much needed evidence.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

No, not really.

At best, he'll just get some different voice clips, in my opinion.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't see how this pic relates to Dark Pit at all. If you mean that the character's outfits are from Mario and Samus's different outfits in their games, and how they are the same character when wearing them, I counter with the Wario palette swap for Mario, which was in the E3 demo.

I get the feeling that everyone knows this "leak" is false, but if Wario is revealed tomorrow, it will be more of an "I want to believe" situation rather than actually believing. If he is revealed tomorrow;

 

[FlareHabanero]

They're treating it as real because it contains characters they like.

The power of bias I swear...

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

REMINDER: Sakurai playing ambiguous means he doesn't address characters by name until he confirms or disconfirms them.

Toon Link was never addressed by name when his pic showed up before his confirmation.

Palutena was never addressed by name (only "Goddess of Light") up until her confirmation.

And no, 'certain boss characters' does not directly confirm shadows as a boss. It's still up in the air. We don't know Ridley's fate, stop pretending it's a done deal.

 

[Deleted member]

No, you have it wrong; that brief footage directly confirms that Ridley's Shadow will be a boss character on the Pyrosphere.

Even if Wario is confirmed, I won't believe the leak 100%.

Wario seems like a pretty easy guess; Wario, Meta Knight, and Ice Climbers are the only shoo-in starters not yet confirmed, and we're overdue for a veteran.

 

[Xenorange]

He receives so little love these days

It's not like he's the only character people joke about.

Suck it up.

 

[FlareHabanero]

A little tip to all, but any rumor that mentions a specific date is automatically wrong.

Technically the Gematsu leak is not "directly" from Sal. So, are you essentially asserting that we should not give his leak any credit?

Even if Wario is confirmed, I won't believe the leak 100%.

Wario seems like a pretty easy guess; Wario, Meta Knight, and Ice Climbers are the only shoo-in starters not yet confirmed, and we're overdue for a veteran.

I will not believe it 100%, but I will actually bother to look up the leak in the event that Wario is confirmed (within 2 weeks).

 

[Rockaphin]

I was honestly hoping that Sonic's side-special and down-special differed more this time around.
. . . Has it?

Sonic deserves no love

[Cobalsh]

No, you have it wrong; that brief footage directly confirms that Ridley's Shadow will be a boss character on the Pyrosphere.

So if Ganondorf's shadow was shown on a Zelda stage, we'd say the same thing, right? Or if the Monado hinted at the end of the Assist Trophy segment? It's not disconfirmation, it's bias.

You're reading far to deep into my comment. I said that the footage shows Ridley's Shadow as a boss on the Pyrosphere, not Ridley. It was a joke.

Exactly. Our Boy and Mewtwo vs. Sonic.

I think I'll sympathize with the other two
