Adding an obscure character adds credibility... DUH!!!! "Who the heck is Tin Star?" I think that question will continue to be asked for as long as Sakurai is Japanese...

SSB4 Rumours and Leaks

So, basically, if they're choosing Pokemon stages based on locations that aren't giant floating platforms like they're doing with Animal Crossing on the 3DS, it's a reasonable choice. Got it.
With that particular "leak" element, it's most likely 4chan browsing this thread for ideas anyways. It's become too damn big for its own good.

Akko is my dear daughter!
Tin Star has not been brought up as a suggestion here until today. :9
Some obscure characters cross the line for plausibility.
I can understand Goku and Shadow. But why people want Puff Girls? 0.o

....Are we STILL discussing the Tin Star rumor? Just proves we're having a dry spell.

No, we've had worse.
I remember one we got that was so bad this thread became "Social Thread 2.0" (the one before Social Thread 2.0).
Heck, even the mods acknowledged it.

I really didn't want to read through the last several pages, so have any worthwhile leaks passed through lately?

Not much. As some people have said, it's been a dry spell recently.

So really, I'd like to see someone take all the components of the live leaks and break then down, discussing the likeliness of it.

I just looked it up. Seems interesting. He's an North American only release and a retro character, so I CAN see Sakurai using him as an appeal to western gamers.
EDIT: Could someone link the post with the Tin Star leak? Thanks.

Hm. That would be pretty interesting, I will admit.

At this time, somewhere in North America, there is a Mike Jones fan reading this and deciding to drink himself into a coma.

You're always pointing it out. It gets old seeing you defend or try to "justify" it by reasoning that it's "inevitable."
If you have nothing to post about (that contributes to the thread), then don't post. Less clutter for those who are here to read/actually discuss things that pertain to leaks, and less stuff for us to moderate. It's as simple as that.

Hopefully by someone with a neutral attitude will do it.

Tin Star? He's on a level of obscure that makes Mike Jones from Star Tropics look like Mario by comparison. I slightly remember Tin Star in a Nintendo Power issue a long time ago but I never knew anyone that played the game and until I looked up screenshots I couldn't remember anything about it. Tin Star was one of those things that was developed and almost immediately forgotten.

Mike Jones would appeal better.

Takamaru would ironically appeal more to a western audience then Tin Star.

Mike Jones and Lip were the obscure character picks back in the preBrawl days. It's kind of sad that Mike Jones' popularity has all but disappeared since then. I think it just goes to prove that a vast majority of these rumors with off the wall picks are going to wind up dead wrong. Virtually no one guessed Game and Watch or ROB so, whoever it is, they'll probably be someone who only makes it onto a handful of wishlists.

ROB and Game and Watch is they did have some historic significances to Nintendo even if their games were nothing to write home about. Mike Jones and Lip actually at least are recognizable in the regions they were created for, which is why a leak with either of them listed wouldn't automatically make me dismiss a leak immediately compared to the situation with Tin Star.

If Tin Star got in before Mike Jones, I would vomit.
Like, a lot.
I've wanted Mike Jones in Smash for a long time (huge StarTropics fan) but sort of figured it was a pipe dream and gave up on it...although if we see Sakurai starting to take retro characters from the Western audience more, it would certainly be a possibility. Moreso than Tin Star, I would hope!

Regarding this Tin Star thing, Smash has always had its share of what-the-f**kery character choices. Smash 64 had Ness, Melee had Game & Watch, Brawl had R.O.B, and now Smash 4 has the Wii Fit Trainer.
This character choice isn't entirely out of the ball park, and Sakurai is a madman anyway, so who knows.

Indeed. At least Ness had combat experience before Smash.

As everyone else has said, the WTF choice in 64, if any, was captain falcon, simply because they basically had to create a whole move set for him out of nothing. He hadn't left his vehicle in any of the F-Zero games. Game & Watch and ROB were pretty big parts of Nintendo's history though, and Wii Fit has been huge the past couple of years. This Tin Star is just a random, unknown character from a no-name game, that really holds 0 significance to Nintendo.

As far as gameplay goes, yeah. Falcon didn't fight in any games.
Falcon did have that comic, and was described to be a space bounty hunter (along with being a racer) in the manual.
