In fact, my understanding is that Sal didn't really trust the source at first, and he seems like a pretty decent guy, so I believe him there.
We had a guy with inside info actually do that on Bulbagarden.
That's the thing about Sal. He's not trying to make a huge deal of it, and even he is saying to take it with a grain of salt. It's such a different tactic to other leakers. I wonder who is emailing him.
Sakurai
But why Sal of all people?
The master of hype: Sakurai the Puppet Master. He is Rosalina and we are his Luma's.
Sal is the chosen one.
The child of the prophecy!
And you're saying this somehow OVERRIDES what Sakurai said in Brawl?
And he said it was difficult to find new characters, not that A) he absolutely HAD to use new characters and B) he would therefore overturn his old decision that AC wasn't violent enough for inclusion.
Hahahah yeah. I accept that meme usage.
It's been confirmed to have come from Sal. One of the mods here messaged and asked him personally about it and the other leaks.
Who else is he gonna choose? Seriously, and if I remember correctly he claimed Brawl would be his last Smash. Look where we are now, he's working on 2 at the same time. Taking what he says at face value is not a good ice at all. But if you actually look at the fact the he added in most of everyone in Smash that needed to be in, he had pretty much no where else to go.
I have no idea what you guys are arguing about but clearly Sakurai hasn't added everyone that "needed to be in" because there are so many other popular characters getting requested and have easy movesets that could be made.
Oh, ok then. Ignore me then. >.>
Maybe any of the 30+ other characters on the poll that people wanted?
If only...
(hey I was that guy during melee).Link to the poll?
I don't have one, but it's only released in Japan from what I hear and it's frequently quoted.
The fact that the main argument against the Sal leak is that "It's possible that he guessed it" shows just how probable the leak is and people are still denying it XDIf only...
People do realize that Melee and Brawl both had leaks like this and a whole pile of people denied it fervently until videos of the characters were released, right?
This time, we actually have a leak which has revealed two characters with immensely low probability AND continued onto go 4/4, meaning it's all but guaranteed legit.
Maybe folks can avoid being "that guy" this time around?
You not liking the leaked roster is not evidence against it...
Really. Hell, I'm not buying the game at all if the final roster is what's been leaked, plus Mewtwo, and I still think it's borderline incontrovertible.If only...

Yeah, that's another thing; even though it's completely illogical that he or anyone could have guessed WFT at E3, playing the scenario that they could, that doesn't render that guess an impossibly unlikely one at best. Possibility certainly doesn't equate to probability.
Well King K Rool isn't getting in for sure.
You know what's interesting? Actually reading his post there, it seems like all he was told was that the six characters from the pre-E3 e-mail were going to be in the game, not that they were going to be shown at E3.
The roster SO FAR, I mean.
I've come to accept this based off of this leak, and it is infuriating. I hope people rake Sakurai over the coals for "stressing himself to the brink of death" over roster decisions, then coming up with this pile of bilge as a final result. Most won't, but hopefully a few realize it's okay to not worship any and all final rosters on bended knee.

It's the Mario Kart 8 leak of only 48 characters, plus the Pre-Brawl guy claiming no Ridley or K. Rool that's got me doubting. To each his or her own, but I'm perfectly happy with the two games' worth of Bowser I already have.
Not really. It seems like some people are changing their opinions based on Sal's posts though.
The fact that Rosalina came in between both leaks pretty much proves that Sal isn't leaking ALL the characters
Like I said, I've never liked a SSB roster to date.
Which one was that?
There's never been anything about a roster you have liked? At all? Are you just hard to please? Is there a reason? I am actually really curious why you keep getting the games if you don't really care for the cast presented.
I mean maybe not, I'm just probably noticing a trend I'd like to see. (i.e. calmness)
Bought the first one before I had any thought for the roster, and I was fresh off OoT which made me a natural Link fan.
Fair enough.
Same here, but there have always been enough great characters additions to satisfy me in the past. It was Bowser and DK in Melee (DK's a veteran, but Melee was my first Smash), then Diddy and Dedede in Brawl. This time, there's no one at all; Little Mac comes the closest, and I only vaguely appreciate him because of Make Your Move's movement of Punch Out!! opponent movesets three years ago. I've never touched the series.
Oh, this one. Now I remember.
Me too. Some sort of musical/rhythm character actually sounds like a blast, so it's not very hard for me to see why Sakurai would go for it from a uniqueness point of view.
