Except your point doesn't stand. Good try, though.
So your opinion is objective fact, how utterly pretentious. The most accurate term would probably be "returning veteran" which is applicable to all veterans.
What I'm saying isn't that if the leak came out. What I said was that Sakurai tried to keep information secret until the game released. Which he seemed to try and do, but failed. If he himself leaked the information than I would agree with you.
Ah. I didn't really understand your origin post there. Sorry. That's my bad.
Rosalina refutes that point thoroughly enough. Even if the Gematsu leak is entirely correct, we still have the very overt possibility of having more newcomers.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I hope the Gematsu leak is wrong, or at least that there's things the leaker didn't get beforehand, but I'm not sure what to make of the Rosalina thing. There's evidence in favor of the Gematsu leaker not knowing, or knowing and that it wasn't supposed to be at E3 and thus not added to the leak, etc. etc..
That is also a possibility; but I am 100% confident that Mewtwo is on the roster, and fairly certain that Ridley is also on the roster. So it is hard for me to fathom that the Gematsu leak is all there is too it. I am not asserting that it isn't possible. But I feel like the history repeats itself portion of your post was mostly a hasty generalization fallacy. For instance, I did not believe that there was more to Brawl's roster. I was actually surprised to see Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf. In this case, I will go on the record and state that I expect more out of Smash 4's roster.
Well, it's only a generalization fallacy because I don't have evidence back it up. I'm just like Sal Romano, man. You just gotta trust me when I say that the majority reaction to the Melee and Brawl leaks were that people vehemently denied them on the assumption that there was more to the roster and game than was being leaked to us because we didn't like what we saw, then got disappointed later when we realized that's really all we were going to see. It's the MAJORITY reaction, again, 'cause not everyone reacted that way. A lot of people saw some of the picks on the roster and were like 'Whoa, cool!'.
Did you just say LEON. A CAPCOM CHARACTER. Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease tell me that was a sarcastic comment.
He does realize Resident Evil is made by Capcom and not Konami right?
Based on what? This message board. Sakurai hasn't picked any of our major characters yet (K Rool, Ridley, Takamaru).
Little Mac, Villager, and Mega Man were pretty requested characters.
Seeing how close we are to the release of SSB3DS and the amount of characters that are currently are in the roster, I doubt we'll know about any more than about 3/4 new characters before the game comes out. This is on the assumption that the other 12-15 characters we won't know about are secret characters, which nintendo hadn't released for SSBB until the game was out in Japan.
Yes, I know he is a Capcom character, and I'm not kidding about him being in Smash Bros. 4, either. A theory holds that there can be two characters from the same 3rd party company in the next Smash Bros. game, but they'd have to come from different franchises; henceforth, Leon, being a Resident Evil character, could fit in alongside Mega Man, a Mega Man character, as they are both from different franchises.
Actually, I use the term "Skipping Veterans" to refer to any of the 5 characters from Melee that weren't in Brawl, that come back to Smash Bros. 4. So if Mewtwo came back to Smash Bros. 4, he'd be called a "Skipping Veteran", as he didn't appear in Brawl, hence he "skipped" being in a game.
Tell me how your theory holds. I still think your crazy for even considering Leon.
Yeah, I gotta agree here. Leon's as much of a stretch as Shadow.

Okay, then it's more or less a fanboy theory. You should've said that in your first statement. In a way, that'd be like me saying "Oh, since Sega has Sonic in the game, then they should add in Kevin Durant cuz he's appeared on more Nintendo consoles than Snake has." You see the big hole with this? I don't think Sakurai has the mindset to do that.
Just because it's a possibility doesn't mean it's at all probable. I would say if Snake is not in the game he was 'replaced' by Mega Man or Pac-Man, the chances of them choosing Leon of all characters is practically 0. Snake is several orders more likely than Leon.
"Returning Melee Veteran," that is the more ideal term in my opinion. "Skipping Veteran" just sounds unnecessarily specific.
Here's the thing, why Leon, and why Resident Evil? Leon's last appearance on Nintendo was Darkside Chronicles. Why would Capcom go for that, or Sakurai, though, over another Mega Man character or something? To take Snake's moveset? Is that the logic?
Regardless of what YOU use, Melee cuts are still 'returning veterans'. They are returning, from Melee. Sakurai's not going to call them something you made up, nor would there ever be a time where that terminology doesn't sound awkward. It's not a thing.
The only unexpected character he gave me that " I didn't know that I wanted" was the WFT.
I think you'll find that there are a lot of people that will disagree with you.
I don't know man, Sakurai is a pretty big troll sometimes...and if that gematsu leak has any merit, the Choir Boys from Rhythm Heaven would definitly be a troll pick.

I would say I agree with this. It maybe possible that Sal's tipper may have some outdated info.
I can actually agree with this sentiment. I didn't know that I wanted Wii Fit Trainer or Greninja; however, I find them to be superb additions. I am still on the fence about Villager, albeit he is a character that I didn't know that I wanted. I actually knew that I wanted Rosalina and Little Mac as I adamantly supported both of them. Other than that, everyone and their grandmother's cat saw Mega Man coming from a mile away.
You know i feel like theres going to be a repeat performance of a leak like that for smash 4, just before the release of the 3ds version
I wouldn't be surprised. There's almost inevitably a reviewer that anonymously breaks NDA and releases that information in the last forty-eight/twenty-four hours.
