I shall give this "leak" credit. It's not attempting to use the Lady Palutena leak to its advantage. Either way, two Punch-Out!! reps when we just got our first seems unlikely.

Listen up, this is going to be hard to believe, but I was viewing the official Smash Bros website when I clicked on the event page option. It apparently stated that Yoshi was revealed on March 14th. I took a quick screenshot and clicked on the event, but I was 404'd.
I'm not entirely sure how to explain what happened because I did not see any Yoshi pictures at the website before I went to the event page. I'm sorry but all I have is the screenshot I took of the event page. It can be viewed here:

I find it more depressing that he used Internet Explorer at one point...

Definitely don't expect to get 50+ characters.

They said they weren't going to expand the roster, that it'd be around the same as Brawl.

Several of those definitely aren't even realistic guesses. So if they were expecting to make the list believable, one would think they wouldn't be including the likes of Meowth, Tom Nook, Birdo etc. As well as not having so many from the same franchise represented, such as the several more Mario and Pokémon inclusions that I sincerely doubt will make the actual cut.

Actually, Meowth was supposed to be in the original Smash Bros, quite plausible addition.

In the original makes far more logical sense, though. In 1999, Pokémon was really hitting on all cylinders, and Meowth was easily in the forefront of the series thanks to the Animated Series. The 2nd Generation of Pokémon was released in 1999, the same year as the original Smash Bros, and seeing as Smash Bros was already in development prior, they were dealing with the original 1st Generation only. So Meowth was an easy candidate, especially to coincide with "rival" Pikachu, in the Animated Series.

My statement wasn't anti-Meowth being included(he's actually always been my favorite Pokémon, coincidentally enough lol), it's more of a statement on that it just wouldn't seem likely that he would be included NOW, in 2014. Not with 6 Generations of Pokémon, a far exhausted Animated Series, far removed from the original seasons we grew up on 15 years ago...

I agree with you but maybe, they thought that since Meowth was in every installment as a pokeball so far without being playable, they thought he could be a unique character.

Same goes for Ridley as he was in the Metroid stage of SSB64, in the intro of SSBM and a boss twice in Brawl.

I was basing it off an article I recall reading a couple years ago, with a quote from Sakurai stating the roster wasn't going to grow much beyond what Brawl offered in terms of number.

Here's the article:
http://www.screwattack.com/news/sakurai-feels-super-smash-bros-roster-its-limit

It's implied that they aren't going to be focused on adding to the number, as much as they are more focused on actually balancing them out and giving each detailed attention. That there is a thing as too many, and that can pose for a lot of issues. They are also limited by the 3Ds, because the rosters are going to be the same on each game. Which was also stated in another interview.

Can someone repost this boxart thing. I've gone back about 10 pages and I haven't seen it, and it sounds pretty interesting.

It was a long while ago. Way back farther than 10 pages. If I remember correctly, some dude claimed to have seen retailer mockup boxart for the game showing Pac-man and some Tales of character he didn't recognize. I stress caution though, because even if the retailer really did crop up a mockup boxart, that isn't exactly new. Retailers do that fairly often, unprofessional as that may be.

Not that I disagree with you, but keep in mind how many FE reps we got when Melee came out, and how unlikely that seemed.

Still think this leak is fake.

Fake. Why would that link ever appear on the website?

True, but it hasn't happened since. Not saying it can't happen, but it's unlikely.

I doubt any slip up could happen like that on the site, they are definitely not dumb enough to code those things in beforehand since someone could easily tear it apart and find it.

Well my good friend, probably the people who made the website were testing to see if the page would work but blocked it from the public form seeing it, and a glitch happened to this person to find the link to the page but by the time he clicked on it they finished testing it. (that what i think btw)

They probably wouldn't have to test if if they had already made updates to the site ever in the past. I don't think they would risk leaking a character like that.

why would i knowingly choose to ruin my rep just to post a fake leak?.
Protip: This line only means something if you actually have a reputation. With a little over a 100 posts under your belt, no one is going to think this line really gives you any credibility. Especially when you consider that people with far higher post counts then you have faked leaks in the past, and its not as though we can ever determine that your friend doesn't work at Nintendo, because he could just be joking with the false info. LOL!!! JK!!! YOU R TEH LOOSERS FOR BELIEVIN' MY LEAK!!!1!!! and all that jazz.

As for leaks, wait what was this boxart one?

I mean future reputation but I understand where you're coming from :pimp: I'd also like to know what boxart leak y'all are talking about?

Why do people bother trying to fake Yoshi leaks? There's no chance he's gonna not be included in the game, so what's the point.

Ugh. Not sure what would be worse, Namco getting two reps and one of them not being Klonoa. Or Namco getting two reps and one of them being a Tales of crap character >_>

That was also long before we ever saw the first trailer. I mean, there has been an article (I can't find it now) that says he's trying to fit as many characters as possible in. So please stop using that one article from a year before the first trailer ever hit as a source, the amount of overuse is too big.

Tales vs. Klonoa fight?

I'll join in with Digimon, which would be much better than either of those two.
