Not really. Just two "leaks" that basically said the same thing that the Gematsu leak says.
I agree that it's not a reason why it's fake, but DK has a lot going for a rep. Kremlings being in smash run is an example of why. And I'm sure Sakurai could give a character like Dixie a unique move set if he could for Diddy.
Didn't Nintendo recently, or at least after Brawl's creation, purchase the right for the Kremlings back from Rare? They may just be taking advantage of that in a game that is supposed to honor Nintendo's history. That still doesn't change the fact that K. Rool has been irrelevant to the franchise for years.
The Kremlings do scream K. Rool, but at the same time they could have simply been thrown in to have DK fodder villains in Smash Run to represent the series. I would like to see K. Rool as a playable character though but I have a feeling he'll be a boss like Yellow Devil and Ridley.
Dixie's pretty relevant now actually. Sakurai's been pulling from recent games and since Dixie was planned for Brawl in some way, and she's in Tropical Freeze, I wouldn't doubt her inclusion. Smash Run has Kremlings and they haven't appeared since 2008. I'd say the lack of a DK rep is a big indicator that this leak is a stinker.
...Nintendo always had the rights to the Kremlings. How anyone thinks Rare still owns them just baffles me. They only stopped showing up when Retro had their take on the DK series.
There are Tikis in there too, the Kremlings weren't needed to represent DK enemies.
Tikis were in one game...
Does the one game logic really matter for Smash Brothers? This has been trumped numerous times. Sakurai didn't have to put Kremlings, but there they are.
I would find it a little strange to see kremlings, a form of minion not seen since K Rool was the main enemy, and no K Rool. Theres always the possibilty we dont get anything for DK, but it is one of, if not the most deserving of another addition out of all the series currently in. It seems like a waste of effort to allude towards K Rool, then just disappoint fans who were expecting him.
The Kremlings are in more DK though. It's like saying Dimentio should have gotten in before Bowser in Smash to say Tikis should be in first.
We've probably linked the Sal leak plenty of times at this point. Is it really that hard to look?
If I could play Devil's Advocate... I'm sorry guys I couldn't resist.
Sal Romano's predictions on a NeoGAF post | Sal Romano's second set of rumours on Gematsu
On the other hand, however, you could say that she was very unlikely by the majority. But anectodal evidence doesn't matter that much if we're talking objectively.
I diden't see the link dude but even though I found it I want the link anyway but
pacman and mii are EXTREMELY likely.........
Hah, that's true. It's just the first Smash with only a few newcomers I'm hyped for. Melee and Brawl both had huge amounts of newcomers that were in my gaming wheelhouse. But hey, maybe I'll learn to like some of these new characters and try their games. The game isn't made for any one fanbase anyway, so we can all just hope we get part of what we want. That's why I hope either K.Rool or Ridley get in. Just one of them.
First rumor:
so was greninja argument invalid
People need to grasp that Sakurai doesn't go by the fan "retro" criteria. Then they would clearly see Little Mac is the token "classic" character.
Greninja was in two games, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.
I meant characters from franchises that hasn't had a game since the 1980's (Ice Climbers, R.O.B.) or early 1990's (Mr. Game & Watch, Pit). I understand that's not the criteria Sakurai is going by.
This. Little Mac's only had one game post-SNES, and it was essentially a remake, so I still consider him a retro character. But I think Takamaru is likely as well, and it would make for a cool east vs. west thing with him and Mac.
and the tikis were in mario kart 7(and 8)Greninja was in two games, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.
I know you're trolling, but Greninja was in at least two games.Greninja was in two games, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.
So....like Samus?
Dude, what in the Hell are you even trying to argue?
Yeah, at least wait until the full roster is revealed. THEN you can be butthurt! (I'm sure I will, heh)
This is a pretty stupid comment actually, retro clearly means characters who haven't been unearthed and that's how he views it too if you read the interview comments he makes. How come younger games have such a piss poor understanding of this? I mean didn't one other person in here not even know who Mega Man was? This is a damn joke. It's like people only play like one franchise and only come to this website if they use the internet.
There are Tikis in there too, the Kremlings weren't needed to represent DK enemies.
I agree, I thought K. Rool was a lot less likely than Dixie before that Direct. Now I'm not so sure. I hope they're both in as DK easily deserves 2 more reps.
Yeah... that's what I meant earlier...
Haven't enough holes been picked in your arguments today? You couldn't even decide who's point of view to use to back yourself up earlier, and you're evidently still misinterpreting what was said - Sakurai clearly chooses characters on criteria you have no insight into, not randomly. That is why you can't give any particularly indicative stance on likelihood - because none of us actually understand the criteria involved in the choosing of characters for the game. Seriously, if you're going to make a point at least understand the point you're trying to argue.
