So before I type this post I just want to put a disclaimer saying that I'm only doing this out of boredom. I realize this is going to be a flimsy attempt at tying together a few "leaks" to make a roster. I also know the credibility of the leaks I'm tying together are highly questionable.
regardless of all that I'm going to take a stab at this anyway, after all why else even follow leaks if we don't take the time to assess them thoroughly:
First off we have the most likely leak the infamous "leaky 3", personally I prefer to call it the "little-pac-mii" leak. I don't think this one needs to be explained. It has a good chance of being true so skipping an in-depth explanation this leak would give us Little Mac, Pac-Man, and Mii as 3 more newcomers.
We have just had King Dedede revealed and surprise surprise there was a leak which claimed to know he would be revealed today. Not hard to guess considering the new Kirby game is being released tomorrow in Japan, but still for the sake of argument lets say this guy really did have inside info and this wasn't just a lucky and educated guess based on the new game coming out. Here's what that leak had to say:
So not much new info character-wise beyond Dedede and Diddy, with the possibility of Dr. Mario being implemented in a unique way. Well there was actually one more leak which I think might be worth looking at now. There was a leak that claimed a few of the SAME things as this one:
That said here's what the roster would look like if this is the case:
I added the known alternate costumes on the side (most likely female villager etc... would also be alternate costumes) and a random button to even things out but who knows what the actual set up for the selection screen may look like.
This roster actually does have some things going for it beyond the leak:
1. it's not what people are guessing and Sakurai likes to throw curve balls.
2.it has customization built into a few characters; Mii and Robin/My Unit which sakurai has hinted at.
3.stages such as wii resort, the boxing ring, and pyrosphere give some likelihood to mii, little-mac, and ridley.
4.Namco is working on the game making Pac-Man fairly likely.
5.sakurai has expressed not wanting to cut characters.
6.mewtwo and shulk are two of the highest most requested characters in japan while ridley megaman and mac hold similar positions in the west, Nintendo has been trying to be more global lately.
In conclusion this is just an attempt to tie together some lose strings and make a roster out of what little "leak" info we MIGHT have so don't think that I actually believe this is definitely the roster we will get. This is simply the roster you get when you put this "possible" info together.

Not hard to guess considering the new Kirby game is being released tomorrow in Japan, but still for the sake of argument lets say this guy really did have inside info and this wasn't just a lucky and educated guess based on the new game coming out. Here's what that leak had to say:
"I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I know some information about Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Super Smash Bros for 3DS. I'm not a prophet. I'm not a troll. And I will ignore everyone who calls me one. I'm just a real big fan of the series who has some insider info to share. Now that that's out of the way, I will tell you some tidbits.
King Dedede will be revealed on January 10. The day before Kirby Triple Deluxe is released in Japan.
Diddy Kong will be revealed on February 13th. The day of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze's release in Japan.
There is a DKCR3D stage in the 3DS version. This was seen in the 1st trailer. It's a scrolling stage that constantly scrolls to the right. However, sometimes goes in diagonal directions. It's a real interesting stage and so far, it's the only one in Smash history to act like it! The music is to die for as well. It even has a couple of tracks from the Donkey Kong Land games!
The Wii U will have a generic DKCR stage that takes no physical cues from Tropical Freeze. However, there is talk on getting music from that game. We already have music from all main DKC games that have been released so far on this stage though. We even have a couple of tracks from DK64 It is a standard stage with no stage hazards. Rambi makes a background cameo though. As do a couple of Tikis. Graphically, it's looks stunning. I'm sure it's gonna be a favorite.
Orange Grenades are a new explosive item. They bounce on the ground when thrown and explode after a certain amount of time! There is a Funky Kong AT as well. He's still in the debugging process though, so he may be changed up a bit.
Dr. Mario is in the game somehow. I won't give out specifics just yet, but it's a lot of fun! I really enjoy the decision.
The Lorr Starcutter is a stage on the Wii U version. It works kind of like Coneria. It's layout and functionality is much different but the basic concept is the same. The background is stunning though. You fly through several locations from Return to Dreamland. You even fly to Another Dimension! Lots of Kirby Air Ride and Kirby's Return to Dreamland music plays on it.
While I'm talking about music, the number of songs is significantly higher than Brawl's. However, most of the songs are direct ports of songs from games instead of new remixes. This is very noticeable when looking at Mario Galaxy and Dr. Wily's Castle. Don't worry though. There are a LOT of songs on Mario Galaxy and Dr. Wily's Castle.
Well, there ya have it. That should tide you over. And to answer future questions.
Yes. Yes, I do know more.
But I don't plan on sharing it. Not now at least. Hope you have fun anticipating this stuff! :D"
So not much new info character-wise beyond Dedede and Diddy, with the possibility of Dr. Mario being implemented in a unique way. Well there was actually one more leak which I think might be worth looking at now. There was a leak that claimed a few of the SAME things as this one:
Lorr Starcutter and Dr. Mario (this time being revealed as a costume for mario) appear in BOTH leaks. Now I know the credibility of the first leak rests entirely on the fact that King Dedede was revealed on a day almost anyone could guess but the fact that it links up with this other leak might make following BOTH worth while, as this second leak has far more interesting information. No this does not sound like a likely leak to me either but going purely on what leaks have SOME credibility, these three are the only ones that do.Pardon if the English I use is not the best.
Before I go on and discuss what I know, I am not Sakurai. I am not claiming to have worked on the game, though I have seen some production sketches and even heard about the game progress over dinner with a few of my friends who work on the game. If you do not wish to be spoiled or disappointed, I suggest to stop reading. Now here is what I know for sure.
New Items:
Barrel Cannon from Melee and Donkey Kong
Tiki's Tear, which increases damage given by 1.1X and damage taken .9X. From Fire Emblem Kakusei
Baby Yoshi that blocks projectiles, can wander off stage and can be KO'd. From New Super Mario Brothers U
New Stages Include
Lor Starcutter, which is a peaceful stage that can tilt due to Landia and Magalor Fighting over the Master Crown. This stage is on the Wii U.
Pokemon World Tournament, in which certain Pokemon like Garchomp and Tyranitar will battle. They become a stage hazard when Mega Evolution is in play though! This stage is on the 3DS.
A Chimera Factory stage from Mother 3, in which different chimeras roam, waiting for snack! This stage is on the 3DS
An 8 bit version of Ice Climber, in which players can destroy platforms and use enemies to KO opponents, This stage is on both Wii U and 3DS
Prison Island from Xenoblade, in which Metal Face appears in the background, and is fought in adventure mode. The music is to die for on this stage. This Stage is on the Wii U
No Melee Stage is returning unless you count Battlefield and Final Destination.
New Assist Trophies
Sallya, who uses Dark Magic to damage the opponent and heal her summoner. From Fire Emblem Kakusei
Tails, who can save a summoner from being knocked off only once, but can be KO'd himself.
Magnus from Kid Icarus, who uses his sword to do two strikes, but can be dodged easily.
Character Details
My Unit from Fire Emblem Kakusei is a newcomer. My Unit uses a unique stance change moveset, in order to diversify the Fire Emblem newcomers. There are costumes for both a male and female My Unit. The final smash involves Grima, though Grima is also an adventure mode boss.
Shulk, who uses the Monodo to strengthen his own attributes in battle, and is about as fast as link normally. He is the most recent character to be added into Smash Bros.
Ridley, who Sakurai added in order to please Western Fans. He is the largest character in the game, a bit taller than Bowser. He focuses on aerial combat, and has a hover much like Peach's, His final smash is Meta Ridley
The Pokemon Lineup is Mewtwo, Lucario, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, and Pokemon Trainer, who reprises his pokemon.
Discussion on Snakes return are vague. The possibility of replacing Solid Snake with Naked Snake is there...
There are no other Mario characters besides Rosalina added, though Dr Mario is a Mario Skin...
The only cut characters are Pichu, Young Link, and Roy. Snake is possible at this point, if only to be replaced by his father, who would be called Snake.
Keep in mind that this is all i know, and this is a throwaway account.
That said here's what the roster would look like if this is the case:
I added the known alternate costumes on the side (most likely female villager etc... would also be alternate costumes) and a random button to even things out but who knows what the actual set up for the selection screen may look like.
This roster actually does have some things going for it beyond the leak:
1. it's not what people are guessing and Sakurai likes to throw curve balls.
2.it has customization built into a few characters; Mii and Robin/My Unit which sakurai has hinted at.
3.stages such as wii resort, the boxing ring, and pyrosphere give some likelihood to mii, little-mac, and ridley.
4.Namco is working on the game making Pac-Man fairly likely.
5.sakurai has expressed not wanting to cut characters.
6.mewtwo and shulk are two of the highest most requested characters in japan while ridley megaman and mac hold similar positions in the west, Nintendo has been trying to be more global lately.
In conclusion this is just an attempt to tie together some lose strings and make a roster out of what little "leak" info we MIGHT have so don't think that I actually believe this is definitely the roster we will get. This is simply the roster you get when you put this "possible" info together.
