Having finally gotten the feeling of having my most wanted character in, I'd definitely be disheartened if some of my other wants after the King weren't in. I'd still play it due to him, but I want others to show up as well. While I like Minecraft, Steve is not the best way to rep the series. Not even by a margin. I stand by the notion that until there's valid video evidence, all 'leaks' are just predictions - a crapshoot if you will. You'll have to wait a month at best to see the final results of this roster and by extension the ballot and see just how far it went with deciding the roster. My stance on why everyone is following these leaks is because of the unpredictability of Steve himself and the fact that the fan picks are absent from those lists.
There's been a bubbling cyst of schadenfreude leaking out since Ridley got confirmed this summer and gradually congregating with Simon, Richter, Dark Samus appearing as well, being named as fan picks and finally with K. Rool, the boil bursting and spreading throughout the entire Smash community to now having fan picks makes for a boring roster and namely Rool and Ridley being
the posterboys for never evers and the punching bags for some of those people. Now that they lost those two, they have to go after smaller targets. Isaac in particular has a notable hatebase and his chances are very likely. So for the time being, they're just fanning the flames and desperately trying to slander his fanbase as best as they can, and it's not coincidental that these leaks and that box theory appeared right around the next direct and the supposed delay with that hastily added AC Switch announcement. I don't like Golden Sun too much but the characters and such lend nicely to Smash.

, I really love you and your dedication to Lip. So try to take a breath and relax. These leaks again are pure speculation. If they really had inside information, Nintendo would have gotten to them by now. Yes, there's a chance that there's not going to be too many newcomers left to announce. Yes, there's a possibility that Sakurai could be rusing. Anything can happen. I say wait until an announcement and a direct comes and then see what the results of your work bear.
As someone who was neck deep in Brawl and Four's waiting period, third time was the charm. I got K. Rool, but imagine if he was never revealed. Hoo boy, after this game I'm done with Smash period. I got my Kremling King, that's as good as it may get. I said it was gonna be a ****storm and boy howdy, look at it now. I didn't want to get suckered in a third time but Ridley had me hopeful and while The Dream Came True on my end, for others the nightmare has yet to end.
