Well duh that was kinda obvious. It does not matter though because Sakurai said he finalized since the beginning of development so either way its credible information.Perfect. I now know how he acquired that information. There. Aside from the press site bad password, I can safely say all of his information is outdated/obtained early on in development.
To be fair, the Mom demographic probably would expect WFT in this game lol.
I've never once claimed Daisy's more deserving than any other newcomer. I'm aware of my bias. I just like Daisy.Like Daisy?
The Rhythm Heaven series has sold more than, say, Fire Emblem. The Chorus Kids would be perfect to represent the series.
The second Rhythm Heaven game sold around 3m. Oh, my mistake, that is what you were saying.
What remaining franchises do you have in mind? Are they as big as Rhythm Heaven? The only big-name games I can think of that don't have characters are Nintendogs and Brain Age, but of course they don't lend themselves to characters well.
Ok you got this all wrong. Sal not mentioning a character does not hurt the leak nor does it help it. IF and I mean IF he said "Rosalina is not in the game" then it would hurt the leak. And the rest of the characters are not newcomers so lol. And Im sorry like it or not almost EVERYTHING Sal has said is confirmed to be true so far. His entire first leak is correct and only 3 more characters needed to be showed to show you guys shot your self in the foot for not beileving him.
We still need to see Character DLC to prove all parts, right. If Ness or Lucas is cut, it helps prove the leak right, but if neither is cut, it doesn't hurt it.

While some of these may not be available due to copyrights (I have no idea what is and isn't officially owned by Nintendo), I'd recommend Fatal Frame, Golden Sun, Custom Robo, Chibi Robo, Sin & Punishment and Xenoblade. Not to say Rhythm Heaven shouldn't be represented at all. Some games, I believe, should only be represented by stages/trophies/collectibles, because they just don't translate well to fighters. I don't think anybody anywhere was clamoring for a Chorus Men character before this "leak" happened.
I still don't think Villager is that far-fetched. Hardly anyone even knew about Sakurai's comment about not making Villager work, I certainly didn't. Wii Fit Trainer and Chorus Men are the only real "farfetched" guesses, not that the others were "safe guesses", mind you. But they weren't all that farfetched by comparison.
Except maybe Fatal Frame all of those are Nintendo IP's. And hell, even Xenoblade is getting in if this leak is anything to go by.
I never thought Chorus Kids were plausible up until the leak made me think about the possibility.
I believe it, I just don't believe the information is 100% accurate. A lot of the names and dates were off, which means the information is extremely outdated, assuming the initial information he got was correct.
Fatal Frame is a Tecmo property that originally appeared on the PS2, but the Wii version was published by Nintendo and the fifth game in the series has been announced as a Wii U exclusive, published by Nintendo again. That's why they came to mind.
On the flip side I feel like if he DID leak all the fan favorites it would seem like he's lying. A lot of leaks try to be too good to be true by just listing off characters that we all want. Then again this did leak Mega Man so... eh.
Well, the fact is that games that sell better are more likely to be recognizable. Well-suited for a fighting game? We've got Pac-Man and Villager. Being well-suited for a fighting game doesn't affect anything.
Right before E3 Sal told us what the latest message from his source said ("Mii Fighters" and Pac-Man were still coming, the developers were debating whether they should cut Lucas or Ness because one is likely to get the axe, and that they're leaning toward Lucas leaving the roster), but other than that not much pertaining to this leak has happened. I suppose the character select screen theories saying the size of the screen suggests 47 characters, which falls in line with the Gematsu leaks, are worth mentioning, though.
No one running into Isaac as an assist trophy yet confounds me though. I really really don't see them removing Isaac/Golden Sun from Smash all together. So why have we not seen that assist trophy yet?
Most of the unlockable AT's from Brawl haven't been seen yet. Shadow is here, but none of the others. Except maybe Barbara, I recall it being mentioned that it looked like at the tail end of one of the Smash Bros. E3 demo battles you could see what appeared to be Barbara's attack going off, but I didn't catch it so I don't know.
Its about the best we can do for right now. I know VGChartz is inaccurate, but if we take into account the fact that a lot of these games are fairly old we can reasonably assume that many of them have updated sales from verifiable sources. Its not the best comparison, but its the only thing we do have, and since its comparing the games together we can see relatively where they fall into line and how one franchise fared against another.
I feel like it's hardly confirmed because of one enemy.
Not just the Chorus Men, but also Chrom and Shulk as well.
No.
Yeah the Greninja Q&A really clinched it for me. Also worth noting that according to the Developer round table, even the Treehouse has closed-doors policies against some of its own staff - like there's "Top Secret," and then there's "I hope you borrowed Sakurai's eyeball for a retinal scan." That actually sheds some light on why the leaker could miss some of the reveals, like Rosalina.
Why? Chrom and Shulk are also within the claims too. Either one of those 3 could strengthen the leak even further if shown at some point.
But they wouldn't be the deciding point. They aren't wild guesses. They would somewhat strengthen it though. Both of them combined may convince some people. Not me and many others though.
Apparently so. I just tried to post in a non-confronting manner my opinions and logic and the first response was "Hurr it's true".
Well, regarding your first point, one would assume that a "guy" would be most likely referring to a human in this connotation. A specification of "raccoon" would make it much more solidly leading to Tom Nook, while "guy" makes more sense as the Villager overall. I don't have much to say about the Greninja comment because it's overstayed its welcome as a topic.
