This "leak" pretty much sums up what it'd take for me to not want to buy the game: Cut two of my mains, two otherwise great characters, and instead include a bunch of bad newcomers in their place. Good thing cutting Meta Knight is an instant leak-killer.
Not to mention Samurai Goroh AND Takamaru. Two samurai characters?
If Sakurai could make them distinct than more power to him.
What does the leak say?
"Characters: Everyone in Brawl except Pokemon Trainer, Metaknight, Sheik, and Ike return. Newcomers are: Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, Villager, Rosalina, Little Mac, Chrom, Palutena, Dixie Kong, Dark Samus, Mii, Samurai Goroh, Takamaru, Dillon, Demise, an Pacman. "
That's the Nic Cage's worst nightmare one right?
Sheik not returning? No Krystal? No Meta Knight? This leak is absolute (CENSORED)!
The one who made the leak probably thougth that the only way to balance the game was to remove MetaKnight, since a lot of people (especially Miiverse) seems to ignore the possibility of re-balancing characters, haha.
Mewtwo and Metaknight getting cut are two completely different situations. Even though they are both unique characters Pokemon has soooo many other notable characters. The Kirby series doesn't. Exchanging a Pokemon with another makes sense with time constraints. Even though Mewtwo and Lucario are different. With cutting Metaknight would they replace him with and leave Kirby with 2 reps? I don't think so.
I love sheik, Metaknight ruined brawl, could care less about Krystal.
It's not because of the fact that he's unique, it's the fact that Meta Knight is such an important character. In 2008 Mewtwo wasn't, he had lost his status as the most powerful Pokémon and was no more important than other big shots who were past their time, like Ho-Oh, Lugia, Rayquaza, etc. Meta Knight on the other hand is guaranteed to be an important character for as long as Kirby exists. I can almost guarantee that they'd sooner cut some of the confirmed characters like Lucario and Toon Link, and many unconfirmed characters like Wolf and Lucas. Not to mention that Meta Knight is a crazy popular character, where as Mewtwo was an extremely unpopular character in Melee.
It's been deemed a fake due to the "Diddy will be the next character revealed" tidbit.
Whereas now in 2014 Mewtwo's gained a new lease on life with its two Mega Evolutions and a second focus movie, and now everyone's expecting its return.
Yeah. I wasn't trying to talk down to Mewtwo, since he's obviously hot stuff now, but I was simply pointing out why the comparison didn't work.
It doesn't have to do with the leak, I haven't even paid much attention to it tbh lol. My point is that people can no longer use the argument that unique characters won't be cut. it's happened before. Also, recency, or his relevance to the series, doesn't matter here. Mewtwo was not cut because of his relevance or recency to the series, nor was he replaced by lucario. it all came down to time. heck, mewtwo was planned for brawl. I guess what i'm saying is, it's in the realm of possibility. it's not so completely off the wall that it can't happen. I don't think he'll be cut, but it is certainly possible.
The problem is at this point there is very few significates in the leaks in and of themselves, until more is revealed that allows us to isolated it down to more specific leaks that can be anaylized. Right now when you had 4-8 differnet sources appearing per day it hard to tell one from the other. We would probably need to know at least another 2-3 newcomers to be able to kill a good number of these leaks or even begin to narrow down what is likely and what is not.
The problem is that even when a good number of leaks are killed, there will always be more to follow after them. In fact it'll get worse as we move closer and closer to launch.
Isn't that the one where they said Palutena was an AT?
A lot of people predicted his final smash being bees, though.
Maybe so but we would definitely have more to review as to right now we basically have leaks full of random character assortments that we have no method to prove or disprove. As well as additional assist trophies and deconfirmations will probably increase get closer as well.
i don't think MK ruined brawl lol, if you look at brawl from a non-competitive point of view, a casual player could use a bottom tier character and beat and other character, as for competitve play i don't believe if MK was not OP brawl would have been better than Melee. there are too many other factors as to why brawl was not up to par with Melee, anyways just my opinion
but then i think about ROB...lolI'll be inclined to believe a leak if it has the best character choices that aren't farfetched.
