Where's that button meme when you need it? Isaac gets in Smash BUT he doesn't really look like Isaac. *wipes towel on forehead*
Yeah I get that, just wanted to post it so that it's clear
Blue - Default
Why Rex and no Spring Man? Arms is older than Xeno 2
The problem for me in this... Gardevoir mew2 echo....
>Gardvoir is a Mewtwo echo.
Isn't that basically the same as the Gothitelle leak just with different characters?
Look I just found the leak I can't make sense of any of the choices they pick I'm just happy to see Isaac and Felix there
Eh...people like to say that. "but muh ESRB" or "photoshopped Mac lul" but the situations are hardly the same. All the ESRB renders were in a uniform style, and had subsequent evidence provided in the form of videos and other in-game screenshots.
I think my biggest issue is some names are the Japanese variants but others are straight English, it looks like someone just to the critiques of other leaks and patched this one with those
The previous games have character files named with the English version of the names, not the Japanese. That might not completely debunk this, but it’s pretty damning.
I think it's healthy to just wait it out. Chances are very high it's fake seeing as how much has been scrutinized thus far, but there's nothing wrong with just moving on from it until we get another reveal. Nothing more will probably come of the leak itself so it's probably not worth discussing any longer.
The leak is 100% fake, and if its true ill eat a sock
Well... its fake? It is! Its a cool leak? It is! Sock taste good? I dunno XD!
Marshall is not the Chorus Kids lol
I know nothing of Rhythm Heaven so you could have fooled me I saw Isaac and Felix everything else was irrelevant
Yea, kinda like saying Pichu stands for Pikachu.
I heard the artist died, so yeah he would get a redesign.
But dark dawn's artist is still alive.-
I mean, I'd have no objections to the characters shown. I'm a huge Bravely Default fan (as are most of us here, I'd wager, since we like handheld turn based RPGs). Heck, even if it was a Fatal Frame character, that would be pretty hype, that's another series I enjoy.
Its actually easier to add a character from an established franchise before said game releases than a brand new franchise (in fact, Sakurai has never added a brand new franchise's character in this way; only well after the franchise has been established).
Eh you really don't have to worry about this. Take it from K. Rool fans: they're the first ones to decry information pointing towards K. Rool's inclusion as fake. Yes, there's some who jump the gun, but that's few and far between. Its been largely the same with Isaac fans from what I've seen, with almost nobody taking seriously any leaks whether Isaac is on them or not.
But i doubt characters made after 2016 will get into the base roster.
100% agreed, but that's not the argument I was making. I was simply stating that Rex/Pyra ARE more believable than an ARMS character. Neither are anywhere near likely.
This is a terrible way to look at things. First Bowser Jr. barely made it onto the roster, he was in danger of being cut so it's totally possible characters that weren't as far a long that didn't make it like what ever that RH slot was going to be. Next Lucina Dr Mario were already in the game as costumes. This means all they had to do was was give them more alts and do the minor alterations to their movesets. Finally no Nintendo newcomers were planned for DLC. Being axed meant nothing because they weren't vets or notable 3rd parties. Characters not being DLC is not good evidence.
Actually, Sakurai has publicly stated that making close to 5 clones is about as much effort as making an entirely new character.
But didn't Xenoblade only have one entry by the time Smash 4 came out?
Yes, and it was out and released before Sakurai started development on the roster. Xenoblade Chronicles was 2010. Sakurai started 3DS/Wii U in 2012. It had already been out for two years in Japan and over a year in Europe before development on Smash even began.
I kinda forgot it was released in 2010.
Some more thoughts on this...
You shouldn’t think like that. To piggyback off of what has already been said, every Smash game has had characters cut for various reasons whether it be time manage or implementation issues. Just looking at Smash 4 we know for a fact a Rhythm Heaven character was planned due to the unused character icon. We also know the Ice Climbers were actually finished and ready to go but unlike the Wii U the 3ds could not handle them and they had to be cut out.
