Just your average kind of Luigi.
There are currently debates all over every smash-related site over these new roster "leaks," which have brought some questions to my mind.
1. Where exactly are the leakers getting their information from? As far as we're aware, only one person has the game, and he has yet to reveal any info.
2. How reliable is that source? For example, was he part of reviewing the game? Was he just a higher-up in nintendo? Or did he just happen to be friendly with one of the developers?
3. How many of the leakers lean on one another? It seems as though it's very likely that one leaker said "35 characters" and 40 more came in like sharks to feed off of it.
4. Even if the "source" seems legit, how can we be sure his information is? As far as I'm aware, the only people who truly know every facet of the game are Sakurai and his team, along with some nintendo higher-ups. They have nothing to gain by spoiling the game. What's to say that they aren't perpetrating this 35 character roster themselves? Perhaps Sora originally came up with the rumor to throw people off.
These are just a few questions... I'm not neccessarily advocating a true conspiracy, but I do think we should be a little more careful. Also, I felt this deserved it's own thread, as it's more of a "where do leakers get information and how can we trust them" rather than "35 CHAraCteS LOL!"
