GameXplain video mentioned something about replays camera control being able to be customized, but I don't think that should be taken as an indication of camera controls during replays
In Brawl, they also showed gameplay from various angles and such but in replays, we couldn't control the camera during replays at all. Maybe you could focus on one character in replays, but I don't really remember. I do remember that there was a hack to allow you to freely control the camera without restrictions in the pause screen and I believe it applied to replays as well.

I just hope that their moveset wouldn't consist of too many attacks of them yelling. I can see that getting annoying throughout the match.
I think it would be pretty cool if while you fight you only see one chorus kid, yet when you attack the other 2 pop out from behind him (since he'd be 2d).

And his animations in the Paper Mario series are typically very simple. In Smash Bros. you'd need quite a few more animations - including a bunch of unique ones ala his single "getting hurt" sprite in Paper Mario - and I don't think the team would want to bother.
Some leak or another mentioned the "Chorus Kids" as a character and now everyone is jumping at the bit for the possibility.
I wanted a Rhythm Heaven character BEFORE it was cool. >
A rumor mentioned a RH character.
Assuming they're playable, I don't think the Chorus Kids will be 2D. Nintendo has depicted the Chorus Kids from multiple angles, so the Game & Watch treatment wouldn't really work. It'd also be way too jarring. Mr. Game & Watch is a special case since he's an LCD character from the '80s, but nothing about Rhythm Heaven inherently demands flat, hand-drawn characters. The Rhythm Heaven art style is very similar to WarioWare, but Wario and the WarioWare Assist Trophies have 3D models in Smash Bros.
People have been telling me that the Japanese competitive scene is very limited in terms of stage choice and primarily use FD, so I'm guessing that is the reasoning for Sakurai for doing that. I hope that he can change it by release or patch it in.
And who knows, maybe they'll get feedback from the 3DS version (which I have no idea how it will work since the NNID is not integrated into the system much unlike the Wii U) and change up stuff for the Wii U version if they aren't gonna do patches at least.
G&W is 3D as well, just saying they might use a similar effect for Chorus Men or maybe just a simple toon shader to make them appear flatter though. They will probably want to find a way to capture the thick outlines of the artwork.
Could look interesting either way, I hope that leak is legit
Mhm, technically G&W is 3D as well. I could see it going either way for the Chorus Men. They seem like such fun idea so I hope that leak is real.

Hmmm, figured everyone would have so much new stuff to talk about that they wouldn't need to latch onto random rumors.

Full disclaimer: the leak was apparently from the same guy who did the WFT/Villager/Mega Man/Little Mac/Mii/Pac-Man leak from a while back. Info here.Hmmm, figured everyone would have so much new stuff to talk about that they wouldn't need to latch onto random rumors.
I kept asking for Rhythm Monkey, kept noting how cool it would be, and no one would listen...yeah, where were they earlier

I mean, this is Smash Gaf. Random rumors pretty much is what keeps it going 90% of the time.
But I honestly agree with you. whenever I see rumors like this, I am immediately doubtful, because to me it sounds like everyone has cracked Sakurai's random "code" on choosing seemingly random characters. There were rumors flying about on a new Pokemon XY character, but next to nobody picked Greninja.
The point is, I think we are not as good in picking "definite characters" as we think we are~.

It was a 2nd rumor from Gematsu. 1st was the one that predicted WFT, Mii, Villager, Mega Man, and Pac Man. Before E3. This one said Palutena, Chorus Men, Shulk, Chrom, and X/Y Pokemon, which we got with Greninja. Also a day before direct
Most people arent as sure on 2nd leak, but it has more grounds to stand o than many others

they're late!
This is just a minor compliant, but I'm a little bummed they went with the Poison Mushroom again and not the Mini and Mega Mushrooms from NSMB.
The reason they went with the poison shroom and not the others is because if they went with the others nobody would ever accidentally debuff themselves.
This.
Good point. I didn't actually take that into consideration.

Currently rendering and will soon be uploading a video that shows just the gameplay. No interruptions for the most efficient frame-by-frame analysis.

The leak doesn't disprove any character though, it wasn't a comprehensive list of newcomers, both could still happen. BTW I'd say we get at least as much newcomers as we got in Brawl (18 iirc).
We only have 6 so far, so:
1. Villager
2. Wii Fit Trainer
3. Megaman
4. Rosalina
5. Little Mac
6. Greninja
---[leak]
7. Pacman
8. Mii
9. Shulk
10. Palutena
11. Chorus Kid
12. Chrom
---[/leak]
13. Ridley
14. Takamaru
15. Mewtwo
16. Isaac
17. Dixie Kong
18. King K. Rool

.....wait that's an option?
I listened, dawg! I had been begging for the Monkey for months. :O
Nah, It's an addon.

Yeaaah, wondering that myself O_Oyeah, where were they earlier
Ehhh, I have never been to keen on accepting that leaker's "rumors".
And for the record there's a BIG FAT difference between "X/Y Pokemon (which is the most logical expectation given we always get a Pokemon from the newest gen)" and "Greninja" If he had said Greninja or even "some blue ninja frog Pokemon" or even "some frog Pokemon with it's tongue around it's neck" this would have grounds for discussion and such. Even more so given that so many smash fans thought "weeeelll GF doesn't play favorites with starters so you can only get them in 3s like PT!".
To me his/ her stuff is just pandering to wut people expect with a few random-ish toss ins.
Pretty much this.
Wii Fit Trainer.
Nobody but him guessed WFT on the whole internet. Goes to show it's not some random dude, it has to be an insider.

Yeah, this is where I'm coming from. It's the only game I played as well, and I know these three better than most of the names being thrown around.The DS version of Rhythm Heaven is by far the best selling of the three installments, and since they appear in promotional materials and on the box art, the Chorus Kids could probably be considered the mascots of the game:
Also, they seem really cute and charismatic here, and I could easily see Smash Bros. fans falling in love with them.

The idea of a Rhythm Heaven character is super fun, but, y'know, rumors are rumors. I'd like to believe it given the source but doubt is holding me back.

"Random-ish toss ins".
After ROB got into brawl WFT shouldn't be that shocking. But in the Smash echo-chamber it's completely random.
Also doesn't change the fact that instead of saying Greninja he just did a blanket "Pokemon XY" bit ... effectively taking cred for the most likely thing to happen regardless of which is picked.
And yet nobody else guessed WFT. We need to stop with the revisionist "well WFT wasn't THAT shocking..." stuff thats purely for the sake of writing off any and all rumors.

Yeah, I don't consider myself a competitive player at all but I really don't care for super intrusive stage hazards, but at the same time I don't like Final Destination at all. Hopefully Sakurai remembers that there are people who straddle the middle of that gap.

I think we have another 40 pages or so before we need another thread.
Only one of the three of these is internationally popular.
Much as I'd like to see an Advance Wars rep myself. Sadly Lin, much like Lyn, has zero chance.
I would love to have the option to turn off intrusive stage hazard. I don't mind the FD styled stages, but it will get boring playing on a flat stage without any platforms.
If it were a popularity contest, I don't think Ness would have been in the first Smash Bros. When it comes down to it, Sakurai puts in characters he thinks are best fit for the game.

I don't think he is saying that it wasn't shocking, but just that after ROB, its not like there was never going to be anybody to pick something random. WFT was definitely out there, but it isn't the first time Sakurai has picked something so "out there".
It is.
This:
About Greninja, it could be that he simply didn't know the exact pokémon, or that he isn't pokémon savvy.
