Come to think of it, this is still the most accurate 'leaked roster' pic we got so far. They even got Lucina right. =P

So, I know this has been asked before, but I can't find the discussion so hopefully this won't take up much thread space.

I really want to play through Kid Icarus: Uprising in preparation for Smash, but have some reservations about how hard I've heard the ground gameplay is to control. If all I have is an XL and no circle pad pro, do you think it's still worth it?

CCP is for left handed people in that game. I had no problems with the controls even without the stand.
 
Fake leak is blatantly fake, but Monita would be a really cool addition. She could use all sorts of gimmicks from Nintendo Land - bows, swords, giant forks/knives, throwing stars, F-Zero machines, flashlights...
 
Considering that's how it is on the site, I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.
They're likely only together on the site because both genders were revealed together, unlike Villager or Wii Fit Trainer. All three characters are handled exactly the same way, so if both Robins are shown together on the select screen, then both Villagers and WFTs would have to be, too.
 
Yeah, except 99% of DK and Diddy's movesets and inspirations are pulled directly from the DKC games, and the Rocketbarrel music in the Direct means we're guaranteed at least one new DKC stage. Oh, and DK got his DKC roll added.

First of all I left my post ambiguous in case Sakurai does reveal more significant DKC stuff in Smash such as a new character.

Movesets is a completely moot point. DK has been around since Smash 64 and Diddy is a Brawl vet. Aside from giving DK his roll and changing his Up - B on the ground his and Diddy's movesets so far seem to be the same. It also took DK until the 4th iteration of Super Smash Bros. to get said DKC roll.

Also I wouldn't call getting a music or stage as impressive. Those things are guaranteed for probably every IP that has a fighter in the game. At best I would say it is cool to see DKC enemies in Smash Run, but that aside there isn't too much.

He's allowed to have one move that is based on the Konga games, especially when it's a really cool and well-balanced move that is actually really effective if you, y'know, actually know how to time it. I don't understand the hate - it's a lot more interesting and unique than just running around on Rambi would be, that's for sure.

No it is a terrible Final Smash. It requires more effort to properly do, but at the same time is hardly effective and rarely deadly. (at least as far as Brawl is concerned) Running around on Rambi would at the very least be more effective at killing opponents in battle, and is a very iconic skill DK could use instead of basing his entire final smash on a forgettable music game which would be the equivalent of giving Mario a FS based on the Dance Dance Revolution spin-off. (I'd rather see him become 8-bit DK anyway for an ideal FS)

Finally it is naive to say that all IP in Smash get equal treatment. Of course more popular and relevant series will get treated as such. It is why Mario gets a ton of new stages, a new character, new items, etc. while Star Fox has practically nothing as of now. DK though has had a huge revival with the Retro games compared to Brawl, so I'm just expressing surprise/disappointment that there isn't much to look forward to at the moment.
 
Looking at it again, I find it funny how the Villager and Wii Fit Trainer are a single image, but Robin is two images. Am I wrong in believing those three characters will act the same in terms of how you select gender/color for the battle?

Edit: Missed Ryce's post, basically had a similar thought

You're not wrong, it's just cycling through the colors.
 
I like Wii Fit Trainer better than Snake.

Sure I respect that, I just think that Wii Fit Trainer isn't a character to begin with and her/he being in a mascot fighter like Smash comes of as a joke to me. No history, no nostalgia-factor and no character material to draw from except "yoga lol".

Snake's potential removal would be entirely independent of Wii Fit Trainer's inclusion.

Yeah I know, I just felt like venting my thoughts regarding WF Trainer's inclusion haha

i will break something if he's in, so all in all something definitely will be broken.

How can you not love that scruffy bastard?
 
If your going to make a fake leak then at least make it convincing. (part of the reason why the Palutena 3DS leak was so much fun)

I spot so many recycled character renders in these fakes that are dead giveaways.

Yeah. We've seen every render for every character so far. They shouldn't even bother at this point.

And then there's using 2D art like in the video which is extra hilarious.
 
How sick would it be if we got this for a Bowser alt?

That would be the only bowser I would use. Unless they make a bowser outfit, specifically for his rap car.

Also MK8 should get an Cadillac/maybach/Bugatti/Lamborghini sponsorship, so I can use bowser, in an actual rap car.
 
I shudder every time a fake leak references that playable boss character idea. I just don't see it being fun in the long run.

I hope event matches get revealed at some point. When I was younger I adored completing those

I'm surprised Bowser's boss car in 3DW isn't in MK8.
 
As a Kid Icarus fan, it pisses me off that Mario grabs the Hammer at one of the best parts in the song, and then DK uses his Final Smash during another great part in the song.

Items really suck sometimes.
I swear, every video with audio has someone grabbing the hammer at exactly the wrong time.
