SSB4 Rumours and Leaks

[BluePikmin11]

man i havent been here in awhile besides little mac being added(freakin awesome btw) what big news happened and new leaks that are actually good?

Well there's this, but it doesn't really hint any characters at all:

Hello, I am here to give you info. Whether or not you choose to believe it is up to you, I am not going to try and convince you nor can I prove this info at the moment. Also, the position I am in does not allow me to give extreme details such as the full roster or anything along those lines. I will only be giving hints to things included within the game (Ex. no "*insert character name* is a playable character") This is simply some info I have heard that I hope will help better put you all in the right direction.

• There is an interesting new game mode which has not been revealed
• An unexpected character returns
• The character roster is quite different from those predicted or "leaked"
• It releases much sooner than expected
• There is a character hinted at in almost every trailer, even in the E3 trailer and I mean a different character for each trailer
• There are indeed secret characters that won't be revealed until the game releases (there are also a couple characters I have seen few predict or "leak")

That is all the info I have for now. I will be willing to take questions, but I cannot answer them outright. I will only be able to give hints as to there validity.

Hello everyone. I was given access to some information concerning the upcoming game. I can not give the source due to not wanting to get my source in jeopardy. So take this information at face value if you want but here is what I know about the game.

All veterans return from Brawl. Along with that Mewtwo as well as Roy will return, with a reworked play style.
The new assist trophies I was told of include:
Plum (Mario Golf 64)- Hits golf balls at opposing players
Lissa (Fire Emblem Awakening)- When summoned heals the summoner by half their damage
Adeleine (Kirby 64)- When summoned a canvas appears behind her and she paints enemies to attack the opposing players.
General Scales (Star Fox Adventures) – Jumps into the background and calls fourth sharpclaw troops to attack the other players.
As for characters, they told me due to having a bigger production team for this game they were able to produce more new characters than initially thought. The list is as follows

Wii Fit Trainer
The Villager
Megaman
Rosalina
Little Mac
Chrom/Lucina
Dixie Kong
Ridley
King K Rool
Lip
Prince Sable
Bowser Jr.
Krystal
Issac
Shulk
Palutena
Pac Man

They did not get really much into details for all the characters styles of gameplay but was able to get some information about a few.
Krystal- Will play like how Fox did from Star Fox Adventures. By having specials focused on the skills utilized in that game.
Chrom/Lucina- The reason they went with the tag team between the two was to acknowledge the team up gameplay style introduced in Fire Emblem Awakening
Dixie Kong- She will utilize her hair and some of her move sets will be taken from her sister Tiny’s gameplay from DK 64.

That is all I have for today once I get some more information on the remaining gameplay I will try to get it to you guys as soon as possible.

Well there's this, but it doesn't really hint any characters at all:

hmmm very vague on what he or she is saying. but i dont think this is 100% true. i mean pretty much each newcomer(minus wii fit trainer and villager) has been pretty demanded and expected in some cases. as for the unexpected character my only guess is snake since almost everyone has him marked as cut

 

[MrPanic]

Well there's this, but it doesn't really hint any characters at all:

Although I can't take these non-specific leaks serious at all, I would just want to believe this just to think Pichu has a chance of returning. I just loved his high risk, high reward take on Pikachu's moveset, even if he was kinda crappy. #stophatingonclones

 

[Chimera]

Chrom/Lucina is not happening.

So many Newcomers. I can also imagine how much flame the addition of Bowser Jr would cause (6th Mario rep) but besides that nothing wrong here. Maybe a bit too much Star Fox Adventures....

Man, Sable's gotten rather popular in these things. Anyways, it's a nice sounding roster, but it's a pretty average leak. No reason to believe it.

6 mario characters? yeah no and 4 DK characters to? fake plus why lip? shes basically nintendos tetris as her games only are puzzel games i think

 

[Extrain]

It'd be pretty interesting if we actually ended up getting an overwhelming amount of newcomers contrary to what Sakurai originally said because of the help Namco is offering. But yeah, the leak is overly ambitious and has a lot of information. I'm easier at believing leaks with less information than usual, because that's usually how it's usually been in the past. You never know, I guess.

Also....I've actually really started to like Prince Sable after reading BluePikmins "Sable Prince for ssb4" Topic. He's got a lot of great music and history in his game. I guess people just started branching off of one leak thinking Prince Sable as a retro would make things a lot more believable.

 

[BluePikmin11]

That new leak has too many colorful newcomers, I'm calling fake. It looks pretty familar to another leak I read.

Also, Prince Sable AGAIN?!

I'm lovin it! <3 <3

 

[Rockaphin]

I've never heard of Prince Sable. Was it popular over in Japan?

 

[SirGalvan]

This leak really makes me want to have Plum as an assist trophy!!!!

Also you guys noticed in the thread they are making fun of us for taking leaks from the site to discuss

 

[BluePikmin11]

I've never heard of Prince Sable. Was it popular over in Japan?

I don't know really, it's status in Japan is unknown to me at the moment.
But popularity shouldn't be a sole reason a character should be considered.

 

[Substitution]

I don't know really, it's status in Japan is unknown to me at the moment.

I mean, look at Ice Climbers, Rob, or Mr. G&W.

 

[Rockaphin]

No, I just wanted to know its status.

 

[CroonerMike]

I don't know how people can believe this new leak or the Monster Hunter leak. lols you all.

 

[BluePikmin11]

No, I just wanted to know its status.

It is 6th place in Japanese eShop sales though. That's the only signs of sales for the franchise so far.

I don't know how people can believe this new leak or the Monster Hunter leak. lols you all.

Because I can actually see Monster Hunter happening as a plot twist character, a character many many people will deny.

 

[SuperPiccoloBros]

i may not know prince sable but he does look like a cool add if true

 

[ClubbyBear]

New leak from 4chan (Sorry, lost the link.)

Spoiler

- Prince Sable will not be in the game, because Sakurai says the Toad form should be a shield instead.
- Ridley will not be a playable character, due to the fact that he is too big and Sakurai cannot make a model for him.
- Bandana Dee will not be in the game due to "unoriginality"
- Cloud will appear in the background of the SMG stage.
- Cooking Mama will appear as a Assist Trophy.

Who gives a crap if its content is crowd-pleasing? What should be more damning toward its chances is that it, like so many fakes before it, lists the entire bloody roster. That...doesn't happen in legitimate leaks.

[Ceres]

I am not the creator of the new GameFaqs leak, but I would like to comment on it. According to my source (whom leaked without much attention R.O.B. and Lucario in the Brawl days), those details do not line up. Mewtwo and Roy both do appear in the game, though. Both have a reworked moveset, as he/she stated. Roy isn't very agile but is really powerful.His moveset uses his sword but in an original way. There is no newcomer for Fire Emblem, as four characters would be over saturation. Dixie, Lip, Sable, Isaac, and Shulk also appear. Hades is the Kid Icarus newcomer over Palutena and the leak failed to mention Mii or Pac-Man. Those, with the five announced, are the newcomers. All veterans excluding Dr. Mario, Pichu, and Young Link return. I cannot comment on the assist trophies, except for the Lissa trophy is real.

Hoping you're telling the truth here.
But Hades, wat..
Do ATs have outlines?

 

[SirGalvan]

A leak being used to cancel out a leak.....So confused.....Also Hades over Lady Palutena?!, I rather have Viridi

Viridi is my favorite Kid Icarus character, it was a sad day when she was deconfirmed even though she really didn't have a chance in the first place.

So what you have listed is not all the newcomers, but some of the newcomers which your friend has been informed of? Interesting none the less. Is this all you know?

...I don't believe you. I think, if Hades were to be in the game, he'd be a boss fight for sure. Besides, if Ridley's too big, then Hades is WAAAAAAY too big. He was big enough to swallow Pit, and have ample room in his body for his angel dinner to walk around freely inside him!

Good catch~
I'm ready for April to come (my assumed month that the next necomer will appear). Depending on who it is, it may or may not clear up a lot of leaks, as well as Sakura's direction character wise for this game..

 

[BindingBlade]

Three leaks in one hour, all saying the others were false. Although Roy's return would be grand, i don't believe it for a second.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

" I couldn't delete a save file if I wanted to. I don't even know if I could even be resurrected in this state." -Hades. Leak deconfirmed.

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

I get that hades was a really well received character and all but i still hold firm in the belief that he needs to appear in at least one more kid icarus title to be considered for anything more than a boss fight, until then he's just another one shot antagonist like Zant, Wart, Shake King ETC
Anywho it's for that reason i doubt leaks that have him as playable.

 

[SirGalvan]

Going back to the Nintja leak it meantions Bowser Jr. I believe the Mario Series deserves six reps and Bowser Jr could fill in for the gamecube era whole Rosalina covers the wii era. Which make sense to me for Sakurai to do.
