If this is true, I wouldn't be surprised if someone just decides to leak it before it's supposed to be revealed.

Roger and Stealth can't be the only two guys who know about this.

It's pretty much any of the popular Nintendo newcomers that are on the table.

If we go about and compare the 4chan leak, it's K.Rool.

Lol, I'd laugh if it were the Inklings for real.

Because every fake leak post-Wave 2 DLC was always "WOLF!! KROOL!! SHOVEL KNIGHT!! SNAKE!! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE"

I really don't understand why this is even gaining traction.

One of the sources is a known troll, and I don't even know who the original source is. There doesn't seem to be any reason whatsoever to get behind this.

If Inklings can happen. K.Rool and Lloyd can happen. :awesome:

It's a good day.

I'm might go with a dark horse and say Isaac, Dixie Kong and Bandana Dee might have a shot at DLC here.

But these are just my thoughts but the possibility of it being a Nintendo newcomer makes me excited. I want K. Rool for the fans who deserve it and the Krew deserves it. I really don't want Inklings this SOON but I'm not attested to them.

Because of RogersBase I'm assuming.

Either way, you're not wrong. This isn't any better than a 4chan text leak.

I can't wait for it to end up being someone completely unexpected. All of the guesses people are making I am guessing are wrong.

I love the very obvious typo here.

Guessing you meant shot? :p

Inklings strike me as the only characters that really make sense but also wouldn't be ballot winners.

What's our reason to believe this guy, though?

And why is this guy trustworthy?

All I found in this topic about him prior to the leak is that he ran some Professor Layton for Smash Twitter account.

I've genuinely never heard of him until just now.

RogersBase has nothing except a possible connection to the Palutena leak that was fake if a video of DuncanKneeDeep is to be believed

Yeah I do.

I is next to O.

My giant baby hands did this.

But I'm still sticking to my choices. It's either K. Rool, Inklings or Dixie Kong. But Isaac is my dark horse



Don't sleep on Isaac folks

Yeah, really confused as to why this hasn't been dismissed.

The hints were popular characters, right? K.Rool, Isaac, Inkling, Bandana Dee, Shovel Knight due to bandwagon...Pretty much everyone. There's nothing that fits specifically for Chorus Kids
  1. It is a Newcomer, not a Third-Party, pure Nintendo
  2. 100% Original, no Luigi-fied or Clones here
  3. "Makes a whole lot of sense with their inclusion", "It is not someone shocking, ala Wii Fit or R.O.B." and "This person would've been added eventually."
  4. Coming somewhere in the next two weeks, so we're getting 'em in October
  5. Thinks the character didn't win the ballot.
Quite possibly removes the possibility of very popular ones like K. Rool and Isaac.

So... what's the guys username on Neogaf?
No idea what it is there, but I'd mention him by his twitter name and others should recall him via his postings in March of this year.

EDIT: I'll post this again so others get the chance to see

https://twitter.com/stealth___/status/577939287989092352

Stealth posted on Mar 17th about an upcoming direct following a private Nintendo Splatoon event. We did get a direct on April 1st, and this Splatoon event was real, as Andre from GameXplain did flood us with videos shortly after the event and the NDA expired.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1015843

A lot of people are saying hes a troll on gamefaqs.....regardless if he is, he does have credibility on twitter and neogaf and has been right in the past, so I wouldn't brush him off.

So having a connection to a fake leak in the past makes him trustworthy......?

How does that work? If anything, it should be just the opposite. Once a faker, always a faker.

It's validity is well odd.

I'm not sure how Roger would know. He doesn't strike me as the type to get connections there.

Regardless, PushDustIn PushDustIn and @Neo Zero I feel this is worth talking to him about, don't you think?

Thank you. Although I'm waiting for my confirmation email to arrive. Takes a long time to be sent in my experience lol.

EDIT: @Neo Zero PushDustIn PushDustIn Tagging them for double the effect.

I've already told you that A: If the Ballot is a suggestion box, the winners make it in as DLC, if it's a poll, only the most requested character is the winner.
"Makes a whole lot of sense with their inclusion", "It is not someone shocking, ala Wii Fit or R.O.B." and "This person would've been added eventually.
That kills Chorus Kids actually, if they weren't leaked and bandwagoned for a short period of time...Would they be expected?

Apparently the guy was known to be a Gamefaqs troll:
Do not pay attention to Stealth__.

The likeliest scenario here is that people are being played.

Stealth, seemingly, is known to the GameFAQs board as RPGrinder, and he's a well-known troll. In fact his account was finally suspended to Purgatory level. Whatever "credibility" he possibly has is the result of him riding off of more well-known names, specifically RogersBase.

If you're going to take anything anyone's saying into consideration, it should be Roger. And even then I'm not believing anything without any official news or data coming to light first. For that matter, I'm not aware of what RogersBase has done to give him credibility, so I can't speak on that matter.

This is no different from Tamaki, a guy known for his association with a group that was able to obtain gaming information unavailable to the public, claiming that Shovel Knight might have made it into Smash using vague language and relying on backpedaling to ensure people couldn't point fingers at him if it turned out he was wrong.

At least with Tamaki, he claimed to have sources he couldn't divulge. Mind you, that doesn't do much for his character.

Its validity isn't odd, it's completely nonexistent. This is the Twitter equivalent of the daily "My dad works for Nintendo" 4chan leaks.

I'm going to side with Burb on this, at least until we get something that concretely puts these sources as potentially reliable. I've seen RPGrinder around GameFAQs and he's not someone I'd put stock in as a source, and Rogerbase doesn't have anything to him to make him particularly reliable either.

It could be something, but at this point, I don't see anything that makes them trustworthy at all.

The fact that Stealth waited almost an entire day to back up Roger's claim just makes me trust him even less.

I don't know much about RogersBase or why he's apparently considered reliable, but from what I glean he hasn't even clarified if it's Smash related, has he? He just says he has some 'cool Nintendo news'. Could be about the NX, a new game announcement, new amiibos or something like that. Could be anything really.
