I will admit though that this fake leak is probably the best and most believable one yet.
You're right but...

Now if there were a newcomer in a picture done that well, then I would be more inclined to believe it.
This man here is correct.

Now fake a convincing veteran in a new outfit/ render (Zelda, Falco, Wolf, Ike, PT) and I'll jump on the I WANT TO BELIEVE train.

@Saturn (because I can't quote)

I think either Roy or Chrom are fantastic choices. However, I think at the end of the day, it depends on who IS wants, and they have plenty of reasons to choose either of them. Roy if his game has a remake coming, or maybe Chrom for Awakening or the new SMT X FE.

Who knows at this point?

Yea it doesn't matter if that pic is real or not since JP and Ness are pretty much going to be in anyways.

In regards to the Roy vs Chrom thing, for the most part since Roy is in Melee and Awakening I'm sure the "young fans" would know who he is and even if they don't that isn't really a good reason to keep him out since i'm sure most of them wouldn't know half of the roster anyways.

I had a dream last night that Skull Kid was playable. It was actually really cool. He was a starter, and he fought by using the dance moves of Majora's Incarnation.

I'm simply using the exact same mentality as you.
not really, ur suggesting dropping established smash characters in return for FAR less popular ones

Even if it defeats the purpose of the game!?
how? in all honesty I wouldn't even consider Roy an all-star by any stretch of the phrase.
Because we need to appeal to the kids! We gotta be hip and cool! Kids wont' recognize Takamaru, get Cat Mario in there instead!
considering Nintendo's main demographic... yeah we kinda do. and im not a huge advocator for Takamaru either. and yet another exaggeration

A: If how much a game sells is what gets you in, why do we have Toon Link instead of Young Link?
to have a more physical difference between the 2 variations, Toon Link is still a "Young" Link, just portrayed in a different art style.
B: Ever heard of emulation and international releases? More people experienced Awakening. Is Ike suddenly lower priority now?
if u have a way to show me statistics on people who have emulators than please be my guest.

That's a good point, but IS pushed for Ike because of requests. Who has more requests. Also if Roy's remake is true you can bet your *** they are pushing for him. Not to mention Sakurai has to comply.
until a remake is confirmed I wouldn't bet on anything.

I'm sorry, but your logic is majorly flawed.
if u say so

final smash....throw the moon...how is this guy not in it. Too bad majora didn't get a remake yet, his chances would be better.

Roy seems very popular and requested.

Roy is definitely a Nintendo all star in my view. A lot of people expect Takamaru.

to have a more physical difference between the 2 variations, Toon Link is still a "Young" Link, just portrayed in a different art style.

Toon Link definitely isn't the same as Young Link by just a different art style

if u have a way to show me statistics on people who have emulators than please be my guest.

I have an emulator.

Can't disagree, but a remake might happen

if u say so
Isn't my argument, but whatever.

I don't think there will be any good attempts at faking a leak of a newcomer anytime soon, good ones at least, as it would take a huge amount of effort and a lot of knowledge in creating a model and programming to create a new character in Smash, not to mention the graphics would still have to be retextured and altered them to match Smash 4's, also requiring one to look them over very carefully including the stage and the character's texture.

The Mewtwo leak wasn't bad, but there were still a decent amount of inconsistencies that gave it away after a short time.

no he was making a comparison by saying Jiggs should be dropped for a gen 6 rep.

i know a lot of people expect Takamaru. im saying i don't advocate for him.


Toon Link definitely isn't the same as Young Link by just a different art style
Sakurai believes its important to represent both young and adult Link. and i agree. Toon Link is still a younger Link and the differentiating art style helps diversify between him and the other link.

mmk

i don't see it high on their list of priorities. if it happens than ill eat my hat.

Oh well I guess I totally disagree with dropping Jiggs, and if I had to cut any pokemon I'd do Lucario, but Noah doesn't seem to like that.

And I guess I don't really see a remake happening either,

Hey, I found my old roster. Like, from 2010. Very old. How does it hold up now?





Pretty badly, I think. Maybe not horrific.

While it's not exactly the greatest, it isn't the worst either, and in fact, some of the roster predictions are held up as commonplace even today (Takamaru, for example). Although Sukapon, Meowth, and Claus are considerably questionable choices to begin with.

I wish the smash community's would come just together and stop fighting over which game is better and learn its not so bad to go in other threads.... something like that.

Replace Geno with Toad and this would probably be perfect to me. I just want to play as Toad in Smash so badly.

Props for having Meowth (and Zoroark) and Starfy.

Well, here's how I'm doing so far. Eagerly awaiting some reveals that weren't shoo-ins. Sonic and Toon Link remain the only really controversial newcomers/vets shown since E3.

Exquisitely breathtaking. Simply quite exquisitely breathtaking.

What an admirable, aesthetically-pleasing, pulchritudinous stage, if I may say so myself. After patiently waiting all these time-consuming years of shot-in-the-dark speculation, a (Super) Mario Galaxy stage has finally, finally, finally been unveiled for Super Smash Brothers Wii U (sorry 3DS), all before our very own eyes. I should shed tears of satisfaction.

I've done some modifications to my roster input by repositioning a lot of the icons...



I've also added a "RANDOM" icon in the mix.

I totally called the physics of the stage in my videos. Awesome.


...Maybe not surprising, but it's nice to get what I wanted.

I wish I had a Miiverse account so I could see if people are saying that Rosalina is even more of a shoo-in now that she has "her own" stage.

I'd be funny to see reactions if she was a background element.

Don't jinx it. Also, any presence of the Comet Observatory won't necessarily deconfirm Rosalina either.

I guess you can make this argument if background Rosalina is the cosmic one (or a hologram I guess). Not sure the argument could apply for her if she herself was a background character. I mean at least Toon Link had the excuse of multiple Toon Link's existing so I'm not quite sure that's the same thing.... :/
