If the roster leak is real, how will the trailers go?

Im happy about this one. Kinda sad that it wasnt Paper Mario, but in no way am I disappointed with this outcome.
I'll always be disappointed in new Pokemon and Marioguys while Captain Falcon is the only F-Zero character.

But we're starting to get off track. I'm hoping the Shulk trailer involves him using Monado Buster against a giant and somewhat robotic space pterodactyl.

Probably because they are the most popular/diverse franchise Nintendo has.

I cant wait to see how Bowser Jrs trailer plays out with his clown car. Shadow Mario is non-existent now because there are no transforming characters :(

I don't argue against their popularity, but I do think that popularity is part of why they should give those roster spots to other characters. Mario fans already have plenty to love in Smash.

I'm a bit bitter about a 2nd clone, a clone that is not just a clone but literally the same character in a white lab coat. It screams lazy for a game that appeared to have so much intricate effort going in to it from all sides.

Duck Hunt dog, Shulk, Bowser Jr, I'm totally fine with. Lucina I let go as a one off, and at least it's a different character technically.

Toon Link is more clone-like than Dr. Mario is. At least Dr. Mario has a different "fireball," and he will (hopefully) have a different down-special since FLUDD would make 0 sense.

And potentially new final smash.

Toon Link has completely different physics than Link, and a couple of different moves, and these things make him feel very different even if his specials are nearly the same. Dr. Mario might be a bit more unique in Smash 4 than he was in Melee, but Melee Doc was a bigger clone in terms of how he actually played than Toon Link. It gets really annoying to continuously have to deal with people who only pay attention to specials when evaluating how much of a clone a character is.

I've never liked using fludd as mario, if doc mario has something to replace it I'd probably use him instead when I'm in a mario mood.

I stole this from a comment on youtube
---------------------------------------------------------
Samus gets called to a secret base belonging to the space pirates, where they are creating some unknown creature. She spots it, and shoots it. The containment breaks and "Mewtwo Strikes back!" (Veteran), then, Ridley swoops in "Ridley fires in!" and it switches to gameplay of Samus and Mewtwo VS Ridley.

It will be a live video of Sakurai systematically executing everyone who had the opportunity to leak in the ESRB.

I said it before on another threat but a Xenoblade mech universe with some funny ROB cameo would be so cool.

Another good trailer I'd like to see is a Dr. Mario & Wario trailer. If anyone played Dr.Mario 64 you'll understand why. You could put the Duck Hunt (Dog) in there too.

Dark Pit was on Palutena's Trailer, G&W on Pac-man's. I can't get any idea for a Bowser Jr. other that a "villian" trailer with Bowser and Ganondorf.

Where in that video did it give Dark Pit a confirmed character splash?
What I find interesting is it didn't. But neither did the Pac-Man one for game and watch, yet here he is. So if both characters shown at the end of the video are in the game then I see that as good enough for the trailers.

Also guys, can we not get off topic? I'm gonna restate that this thread is about the character trailers and not the aspects of characters or if the leak is fake or not.

DHD and Shulk - I'd like to hop onto that idea - seeing Shulk going around in an open field and then DHD laughing. It would be fun to watch at the very least.

Dark Pit - It would be cool if they somehow just continued where they left off on Palutena's trailer and had him fight Ganondorf.

Dr. Mario + Bowser Jr. - I agree that these two need to be featured together, but I'm not sure how.

I assume Bowser will appear in Jr.'s trailer somehow. Maybe his dad's fighting some characters, and he shows up to help him fight? I'm not super confident that he'll get a trailer in the first place, though obviously I really hope he does.

Shulk is more likely to get a trailer due to representing a new series (well, for Smash). Uh, it might be cool if the trailer started with something unfortunate happening (like, uh, some Nopon being attacked by Ganandorf or somefin), only for said incident to be revealed as a mere vision. Shulk would then show up to prevent the incident. Just spitballing here, I really have no clue what will actually happen with this one.

Duck Hunt Dog might not get one due to being a joke character, but I guess he's more likely than Jr. to get one. Perhaps a character with a gun/other notable projectile weapon
(like Samus, Mega Man and Pit) is shooting at somefin and misses, with the dog appearing to laugh at them?

I doubt Pittoo will get one at all, I assume he's a secret character that was hinted at by putting him in the end of Palutena's trailer. If that wasn't the case, the teasing would be kind of...fucking pointless.

I'm kind of think a Ganondorf-R.O.B-Shulk Trailer. It shows R.O.B commanding an robot army and Shulk is taking them down, though R.O.B could be dressed as the Ancient Minister. Then, when Shulk is about to get killed, R.O.B comes and saves him. Then at the end the 2 are getting surrounded by robots and it shows Ganondorf laughing at the end, looking through a computer screen like he did in the subspace emissary.

Has anyone said there should be a trailer where Bowser Jr. visits Dr. Mario for a check up or s/t like that?

I wanna see that.

Edit: Wario can be there too for his chronic flatulence.

Falco will be revealed in Duck Hunt Dog's trailer.
Falco is mistaken for one of the ducks.

Hopefully Sakurai will see these leaks and go "f@#k it" and give us the final trailer early where we see Mewtwo and Ridely fighting.

Fox and Falco are playing Duck Hunt with their own blasters, trading quips. (Falco simply must say "Hands off my prey!" when the dog retrieves the shot ducks.) Falco, ever the hothead, gets frosted when the dog laughs at him, and fires his blaster at the dog. In bullet time, the dog (still in pixel art) dodges the laser, then retaliates with a careening duck projectile. The duck connects, launching Falco skyward for a Star KO. Fox looks incredulously at where Falco was, and then back at the dog, who is now rendered in high definition. The duck perches on the dog's shoulder, and the dog laughs...

Duck Hunt Joins the Brouhaha!

(Exciting gameplay montage, then logo)

Falco is still drifting through space, contemplating his situation, when the 8-bit crosshairs from Duck Hunt appear and hover over him... BANG! You think it's over, but not quite. One last little surprise! On-screen text reads, "Speaking of quacks..." and we're treated to Dr. Mario gameplay.

It would be hilarious if Snake and DHD were in a trailer together. Duck hunt is on the screen, and a young Snake is playing it as a child. Fast forwards to Snake gameplay with pinpoint aim, except he aims his missile at Mario....but misses. All of a sudden, you hear laughter, and it's the dog.

This is exactly how it's gonna be. No hype, no surprise. I don't think we'll even get major news coverage till launch.

With just 3 weeks until due date, Sakurai doesnt have to show us anything. He can now play the silent game with us and continue to give us more info on the classic/online modes

I think we'll get at least one trailer before the Japanese release. Nintendo has Smash news at Pax this year, so maybe then.

"Trailers have been canceled due to a recent leak."
Nah, Sakurai would probably depressingly show off the last couple trailers. Then never make another Samsh game and retire due to him thinking the smash community is selfish as all hell.
