The one with the supposed grammar error.What leak?
The image is fake. It was posted on GameFaqs in July.*Ahem* so, how about that Ridley Leak?
Not exactly, if we add in the the Demo roster here's where your problem is:Part of my reasoning is the jump from the first picture in my graphic from a recent build to the leak. You see the characters move the way I described, left to right always.
Consistency. If the organization didn't continuously appear the way it did, I would think things changed, but it looks to me that the roster was 'finalized' then edits were made (two-three clones), and they were added to the end of the list so as to not have to recode everything so all the franchises lined up. If the eshop build didn't match perfectly to the other two you might have something, but it does.People seem to be doing a lot of analysis of the roster based on the assumption that the roster layout we've seen is final, or at least that the order of the series and characters is final. Why? I agree that the leak is real, but there's no reason why Sakurai couldn't change the layout of the roster or order of the series. Unless he arranged it into a hideously inappropriate shape, the ESRB probably wouldn't care what the layout was, therefore it's something he'd have the freedom to change after the game had been assessed.
If this were true why wouldnt the leaker say "oh and Lucas is an alt for ness and wolf is an alt for fox" when they went out of the way to talk about alph and the koopalingsI think there's a good chance Lucas (also maybe Claus and Ninten?) could be alternate costumes for Ness. Sakurai made it clear that there were other alternate costumes aside from Lucina and that when they decide to change even the slightest attribute or physical trait that would affect their fighting that's when they get their own slot. I know that Lucas looks different than Ness but honestly their abilities are pretty similar. It'd make plenty of sense to save a roster slot and include previous popular "clones" or semi-clones as alt. costumes since that's a new thing this time around.
We know although Lucina has the same moveset as Marth, she's a tad shorter, faster and doesn't have the tipper thing, so in his mind that justified a new slot. I'd assume Dr. Mario doesn't use F.L.U.D.D. so he'd be more like 64/Melee Mario, and that's a bigger difference than Lucina-Marth, so he gets his own slot. There's no way to confirm it but i've heard Dark Pit might use a staff that shoots some beam (? haven't played Uprising yet, sorry >_<) instead of the Bow and plays more like Brawl's Pit, so he'd get his own slot. BUT if we trust the leaks then Bowser Jr. is in, and his alt. costumes are the Koopalings. Which is most likely true considering this:
Which also makes the Olimar bit believable- that Alph is 4 of Olimar's alts (I'd guess Alph is the same height as Olimar while Louie is taller, so only Alph made the cut). As far as I know (and can tell from Google) Ness & Lucas aren't really different heights:
So maybe he couldn't/didn't want to make them different enough to be their own characters but made him an alt? Same could possibly go for Wolf and Fox I suppose and it'd be a cool surprise for fans who thought they were cut. I remember very early in development he talked about how hard it is to make the roster fresh and not cut fan favorites from the previous game even if they were similar to other characters, but he wanted to make as many people happy as possible. This would be a good way to do that.
(Btw just a theory, but if it's already been talked about to death sorry! I haven't been following this thread since the beginning.)

Well, the leakers clearly either didn't see everything, or at least decided not to share everything. I mean, we saw actual video of Jr. & Shulk but no Duck Hunt, DP, Doc., etc. You could ask why didn't upload or discuss any of the things he skipped over but do you not believe them since he didn't talk about it?If this were true why wouldnt the leaker say "oh and Lucas is an alt for ness and wolf is an alt for fox" when they went out of the way to talk about alph and the koopalings
Because you clearly didn't move Ness 20 spaces to the left?This is a mock up I made that moves none of the characters from the leaked roster to the left except for the clones. Note that Mewtwo could be replaced in his row by Wolf.
You moved the clones and Ness up and to the left, from what I can see at a glance. Brawl only shifted characters right or down a row, inserting new characters in between.This is a mock up I made that moves none of the characters from the leaked roster to the left except for the clones.

True. I changed his position because he was no longer a single rep for his franchise with the inclusion of Lucas. I'll edit my original post to explain that.Because you clearly didn't move Ness 20 spaces to the left?
I don't think baby bowser will be in bud, maybe bowser jr. thoughThis is a mock up I made that moves none of the characters from the leaked roster to the left except for the clones and Ness who is no longer the single rep for his franchise in this roster. Note that Mewtwo could be replaced in his row by Wolf.
This has been my thought process for a while now. Wolf and Mewtwo are fine, new clones (Dixie, Impa, Lucas if listed as a clone) are fine. Ridley, K.Rool, Dixie as a unique character, Impa as a unique character, Lucas sitting with Ness are all screwed. There's pretty much no room for anyone in the top two rows, three if they only put spaceholders on the Right (but I can see Mac moving to first seat in Row 4... not that there's much reason, those three franchises are well represented).You moved the clones and Ness up and to the left, from what I can see at a glance. Brawl only shifted characters right or down a row, inserting new characters in between.
It's all these roster mockups that don't incorporate that simple rule (and try to "fix" the clones' locations) that are starting to make me seriously doubt the chances of any newcomers, particularly in tightly-packed franchises high on the roster (DK, Zelda, Metroid).
you did put baby bowser instead of bowser jr.This is a mock up I made that moves none of the characters from the leaked roster to the left except for the clones and Ness who is no longer the single rep for his franchise in this roster. Note that Mewtwo could be replaced in his row by Wolf.
You forgot Charizard?This is a mock up I made that moves none of the characters from the leaked roster to the left except for the clones and Ness who is no longer the single rep for his franchise in this roster. Note that Mewtwo could be replaced in his row by Wolf.
There is a severe lack of Charizard in this mock upThis is a mock up I made that moves none of the characters from the leaked roster to the left except for the clones and Ness who is no longer the single rep for his franchise in this roster. Note that Mewtwo could be replaced in his row by Wolf.
I'm a huge EarthBound/MOTHER fan and would rather Lucas have his own slot (along with Poo or Jeff) but the way things are going it doesn't look like he will. It doesn't look like he's in the game at all. But considering the fact that the Koopalings are all different sizes and weights as far as I can tell (like in Mario Kart) yet throwing them in the clown car can possibly make the alts for Bowser Jr. (which they all look bigger than lol) means it's really just up to Sakurai's judgement. The main difference between Lucas and Ness in Brawl were the effects caused by their attacks, which really was to just keep them from being exact copies. They could've animate Freeze and Flash very differently but they just changed maneuverability and effect of the attack. They could decide to just make him a clone this time around if they really wanted to.While I undertsand your point, I'll be the one to pull your leg here.
You say that Lucina by having different attributes than Marth and the tip mechanic different is enough to make her a different character. But she's still the same Marth character, with different stats.
Dr. Mario may have a different Down B and a different neutral B with the pills. He still the same Mario character, with different stats and specials.
Lucas is much more than that. He have different attributes and his specials work different too. Also, his Smash attacks and tilts attacks are all different. That's much more reasons to give him a slot in the roster. He may be the same Ness character, but with different stats, physical moves and special moves.
More reasons than Lucina and Dr. Mario. The same logistic can be applied to Wolf.
I can see them adding those 'clones' characters as extras ones, not hurting anyone's chances to get in the cast, but Lucas becoming a alt will be a offense. (I already expect his specials being custom of Ness if he don't make it though ).
BUT, we should be talking about the leaks, and not reasons or chances of characters.
Oh, man, I was going to say Mewtwo isn't a newcomer and you just edited itWhy do people assume that all the remaining slots are all newcomers?
Edit: inb4 someone blasts to me that mewtwo isn't a newcomer...you know what I meant
I don't think baby bowser will be in bud, maybe bowser jr. though
you did put baby bowser instead of bowser jr.

You're right. I've edited the picture in my original post.There is a severe lack of Charizard in this mock up
I know Lucas chances are very low right now, I just wanted to made it clear that Lucas is a very different character and not only in the effect of his moves.

Whoa, no need for being all defensive. When I said to get back to the topic, I was reffering to myself, because I stopped to start talking about characters in special. I guess I should have being more clear. Sorry for that.And excuse me, I thought it was relevant since people were discussing the roster placement for pages and trying to figure out who else could be revealed and how they would be arranged, and a lot of their theories hinged on Lucas filling a spot, or even Wolf. I mean, if we're still guessing characters based on the hope that the locked All-Star mode and space left on the CSS means we have up to 5 more characters; if one of them were to be an alt that's one you could eliminate.
Some might argue that, but Nintendo definitely would not agree with the idea, at least, I seriously doubt it. It's just as weird to throw Lemmy in the Koopa Clown Car and just call him Bowser Jr. as it is to play as Lucas and have someone call him Ness. Any fan of any character would still find it very "not fitting."I know Lucas chances are very low right now, I just wanted to made it clear that Lucas is a very different character and not only in the effect of his moves. That is just applied to his specials.
Like I said before, I understood your point, and if Bowser Jr. alts end up being koopalings, this could be applied to other characters as well. I still don't buy it though, for very little things, like victory poses/phrases and even the name of the character.
If a Roy alt Bowser Jr. wins a match, it will still displays "Bowser Jr." on the screen. Some may argue that "in some extend, all koopalings are Bowser juniores", but to characters like Lucas, Wolf or Daisy, that would be not fitting and weird.
True, I just thought since in his game he could use similar weapons and moves as Ness that there was enough material there for Sakurai to make him a full clone if he wanted to. And ah, see i've actually been hoping the announcer will say "Roy!", "Alph!", etc. when you win as, or select an alt before confirming. If it just said Ness and showed Lucas that'd be weak.If a Roy alt Bowser Jr. wins a match, it will still displays "Bowser Jr." on the screen.

Also really sorry if that last part sounded rude I just didn't want to seem off-topic, although lol this post has been very off topic so to fix that;
Do any of the super debunk pros here know how this was made? It has to be fake but this and other Ridley crap has floating around and I like to share what I haven't seen posted yet here so you guys can prove it all fake until we run across some real info.

It's not fake. Face it now before the truth hits you in the face. Hard.the roster it's likely to be fake,the only real characters confirmed are shulk,ganon and bowser jr are real 100% for sure.
more pepole say the roster is fake,photoshop,outside shulk ganon and bowser jr,so the good side? maybe lucas wolf ice climbers and isaac are in.
