Nope, confirmed assist.
Totally forgot about that. *facepalms*

Well then, I'm not really seeing the "controversial" Zelda character. If we were to get a new Zelda rep, it'd either be Impa or Ghirahim. I don't think either one of them are "controversial".

Besides this random leak discussion does anyone think there's going to be a Nintendo Direct in the up coming month of August? I keep smiling in wonder as tons of possibilities for a Krystal reveal in a Nintendo Direct flood my mind. Here's to hoping for an interesting Nintendo Direct in August.

Its not out of the question but at the same time, I don't think I'll see an August direct happening. Can go either way.

What do you guys think of this rumor titled "QA Leaker":

http://ssb4dojo.com/post/93123821076/rumor-mill-qa-leaker

There's certainly a lot here. If any one of these things are wrong, whoever the leaker is will be discredited. In my opinion, it's strange to stick your neck out that far...

However, he/she is being selective, choosing to reveal some things over others (but he/she hints to things that he/she isn't revealing). Then again, it isn't direct; it's stated through a source (that isn't the dumb "my father" thing).

This is what we should discuss:

"Star Fox

>There is a newcomer."

Keep in mind that Brawl's roster was leaked, without a picture, and it included Wolf and ROB and others that nobody at the time believed, because Krystal was the "most probable" back then due to certain things revealed by Alésia Glidewell.

Also, Gematsu had no pictures, and his/her information was probably outdated, but it was actual information though.
I'm either against leaks or very critical on them, but I just hope that newcomer wasn't someone misinterpreted as returning vet.

But please be cautious everyone, don't expect it or you will get hurt. I very much want to believe this but I also don't want to be disappointed.

There might be one. I really hope it's a star fox newcomer reveal.

Referring to a few pages ago, the Gematsu leak is not fake by any means. It probably was just giving some characters but not all and who knows what else was decided from that leak to current development.

Also, what's been bothering me is how undermined Krystal's chances are. Granted, she is nowhere near a shoe-in, but she has far more of a chance than what most people say. Take a look at what we've had: Little to no Star Fox news, a stage refering to a game she takes a prominent role in, and the sole fact that she has outlasted a multitude of desired characters. I think her chances are far greater than that of Isaac, Lip, and even Ridley. (Sue me.) I'd make this point on the OCDT, but I'd get criticized for having an opinion on a character that isn't in the norm.

How is the Gematsu leak not false by any means? and what do you think of this supposed leak? http://ssb4dojo.com/post/93123821076/rumor-mill-qa-leaker

Well I meant in that it isn't fake, but that it has been wrong. Going 8 for 11 and calling out the Mii Fighters actual names and the obscure Wii Fit Trainer is no lucky guess.

Also, while I'd like for it to be real, it clearly isn't. Just like any other leak that's surfaced after the FE trailer.

You don't think its kind of hard to think a leak has been wrong and that its not fake?

It really could have been a lucky guess, there are tons of these and one could have happened to be really on the money. And what did you think about that other "leak" I posted? Seems to be correct so far and the robin's changing hair style could have been misinterpreted as his female counter part.

Well as many have stated, we saw this leak back in 2012, coinciding with the start of Smash's development. What was decided back then was subject to change throughout the development process, so what we were given might have been what was intended to be put in the game. So, Chrom was planned, but then replaced for someone who could have been a better rep. More characters were probably decided or just not given in general. Chorus Men may or may not still be in based on the hardware of the 3DS, but I think they're solid.

Also, the leak you gave me just seems like a harmless little thing. While I'd love for a lot of it to be true, it just doesn't seem to be of fact to me. I mean, they REALLY boned Shulk on his moveset.

There should be more Krystal discussion than leak discussion in here. Unless the former directly pertains to the latter (more than just her not being on it), which is usually not the case.

That new leak is really silly in that it describes newcomers without actually listing them. (in some cases) They clearly don't know anything because if they did they would just state them.

edit - whoops sorry.

I can't take this suspense and lack of Star Fox Reps. Yet I can't wait when I imagine their Krystal reveal trailer. All the ideas we came up in this thread I could see them happening.

All we can do at this point is hope for the best & prepare for the worst.

About Krystal outfit. Do you think we're going to have a redisign? Also, any idea for FOX alternate outfits?
I feel like they may take her assault outfit and maybe have the adventures. Hopefully they get creative though. Fox alternate could have his adventures outfit. :) I liked it. Even though they look similar to his others I just want him to be sleeveless. XD

Today was a pretty rough day for me because I really wanted Takamaru. I really hope Krystal doesn't share the same fate and makes it as a playable character, because if Takamaru was able to put me in such a slump Krystal being confirmed as an Assist rather than playable will really do a number on me. I can only hope she makes it through everything not to mention this week.

Say what you will about that QA leaker, but I did like quite a few of the ideas in there. That aside, I strongly believe we'll be getting Krystal as a Newcomer. STRONGLY. I wish I had real proof to back this up, but it's more of a gut feeling than anything.

Same here buddy. I can just see it and my in my head it makes all the sense in the world. (I'm not being biased because I feel that way for other newcomers as well.) We must believe and keep the dream going! Her chances are good.

If she didn't make it this time around it would just feel EXTREMELY disappointing. I mean, I'd get over it eventually, but I would be frustrated that yet again Sakurai rejected the opportunity to have as unique and interesting of a character as Krystal.
She has so many things going for her. Another Female rep and also the first SF female, Refereshing fighting style (combat staff), Unique design (not just another busty or blonde human girl lol) to name a few.

I already felt that Brawl was the perfect chance for her inclusion- but she missed the boat there. To top it off it was such a tease having her as nothing but a Trophy and a Codec Easter egg in Lylat Cruise. Haha, I use to go to that stage all the time just so I could see her in the codecs and sadly sigh at her missed inclusion.

Personally I think she deserved to get in before a few of the Newcomers we have already seen in Smash 4, I don't agree with people saying she's in the back of the line as far as priority. She's deserved a chance for a long time now.
I just hope Smash 4 will be that chance.

We're kind of gambling here & taking a risk (As pretty much all the other characters)

This is how I imagine what it looks like

Hey guys, do you see Krystal as an unlockable or starter character?

And if she is an unlockable character, how would you unlock her?

I got, "None," on the wheel, so let's hope for that!

And I see Krystal as a starter, with Falco and Wolf as unlockables.

Takamaru...Is what I got. The wheel speaks the truth.

I see Krystal as a starter with Fox. Falco and Wolf as the secret characters. Or they have Falco confirmed with Krystal. Wolf Secret.

I would be happy with just Krystal regardless of what newcomers may come following that inclusion. Six years is a long time. I wouldn't wanna wait that long for a third chance. By then, I'll have lost all interest in Smash and will have moved on to more productive and meaningful things, like the latest installment of Resident Evil.

I think Krystal should be an unlockable.

Also is this game going to be combo heavy at all? Krystal would be a perfect candidate for a combo heavy person.

I could actually see krystal being confirmed right before release in an august nintendo direct to go along with Star Fox wii u footage, since the beginning of the year we've had a direct every 2 months and with a new direct comes a new character

If this leak is true, I doubt it'd be a curve-ball Star Fox character. Look at the Zelda section, it states:

">Newcomer that most people don’t want, controversial character."

Star Fox's section has nothing like that describing its potential newcomer. It'd probably be Krystal.
That could be anyone from Star Fox. That could be Andross for all we know.

Wheel of dis-confirmation, Spin Spin Spin. Tell us the characters who won't get in.
