Guys I don't think we're getting any more character reveals until launch.

Check out this nice image from Gamestop's store page for Smash Bros:

It's a perfect grid (taking into account the longer newcomer banners), and interactive so when you click on someone their full art appears beneath it.

Gamestop usually knows the marketing plans of Nintendo and other companies far ahead of game launches, and has even leaked release dates early. If there were going to be more characters revealed, they would have arranged this differently and left space for others to fit without breaking up the nice grid they've established.

Maybe I'm reading too hard into it but I think it's worth considering.

Meta Knight isn't there though.

I can see 2 more newcomer reveals & 2 more veterans, but I also think that Sakurai is gonna wait until the Japanese release of the 3DS version to blow the lid on the roster.

Alternatively, they can just make sure they end up with even amounts. Next Direct could confirm Shulk, Ganondorf, ROB and Chorus Kids to balance out the bottom, for example.

2 newcomers + 2 veterans.
Also do not read too much into that lol, it looks nice tho.

That image is fake. Game & Watch is outline-less in Smash 4.
EDIT: Although it appear most the characters there have outlines. Huh.

Anyone seen this yet?

The icons of the unrevealed characters I've never seen, and people are saying that they're from a leak today...but I haven't seen where they come from.



No, I think you'll need to buy a JP 3DS Points Card and redeem it. Do this via PlayAsia or such a site.

Game and Watch looks really off.

The folks on Smash Boards haven't been able to debunk it yet if that's any consolation.

Maturity, bitches.

ROB's shading is completely different to the style used by the official art.

Game & Watch's mouth is small. He's almost always depicted with a large open mouth.

It's not really worth putting more effort than that to debunk it.
 
G&W in that leak roster pic looks like an over-exposed horizontally-condensed cap of him moving around on the Yoshi's Island stage in Brawl.

EDIT: Maybe it's a leaked pic of the 3DS version, hence the differences in art style?
 
Without Ice Climbers, it isn't real. No series has an enemy in Smash Run without a playable character so far, except Ice Climbers and Rhythm Haven. Think about the most reliable leak we have thus far includes a RH character, the only logical conclusion is Ice Climbers will also be included.

Compare the leaked headshots to the 3DS roster screenshots, the shading and colorization is basically consistent.

It's either a leak, or a better fake than we've seen most people try so far. If the image quality was better there'd be less question about it.

Also would be surprised to see Ice Climbers cut.

Looks like there's something in the background of the Bowser Jr pic, unlike the others which have solid colors. Also, maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't recall ever seeing a Duck Hunt Dog or Wario like that before. I swear I've seen that Falco before though, so there's that.

Let the influx of low-resolution 'leaks' begin!

This, no Ice Climbers is the biggest hole in the supposed leak.

Duck Hunt Dog hasn't had an appearance with a new design since Duck Hunt NES, obviously he'd look quite different.

Yeah right now we have no idea where the image came from. Some guy just posted the image in a typical Smash speculation thread, not even under the guise of a leaker.
 
Yikes, I kind of hope someone is able to debunk that leak image soon. No Chorus Kids or other Rhythm Heaven rep makes me sad. :(

Are you apologizing for just the comment, or nothing at all? Cause the last time I checked Snake is just as cut as Ness right now.

Personally I disagree -- there's far more reason to believe Snake is definitively cut at this point than Ness. Far more. But I digress; I hope he's not cut for the sake of all the Snake fans out there!
 
Here's another idea: maybe Ice Climbers aren't in the leak because they haven't been unlocked by the player that leaked them yet? It's totally possible they've just gone through the bulk of the game but haven't gotten to endgame reveals like G&W or Diskun and Sonic in Melee yet.
 
I recreated those headshots for my personal select screen. It's not particularly difficult.

Yeah, but making convincing 3D (looking) art that's not just swiped from another Nintendo product is a little more tricky.

Not that I'm saying this is legit, but it's at least better made than some other stuff.

The link to the Smashboards thread doesn't seem to work even if you're logged in, anyone have the original picture this was made from or anything?

There's no Ice Climbers, when the Smash Run logic points towards both them & a RH character being in. Plus MG&W has a huge outline, when we know he lacks an outline thanks to the Pac-Man trailer.

Yeah, apparently that's why Mewtwo has an "?" on it...although unsure how the leaker would do that with Mewtwo and not with anyone else, unless there's solid deconfirmation like Wolf appearing as a Smash Run Boss now.

I could see Chorus Boys being secret. But Ice Climbers as well, and after ROB and GW?

Plus MG&W has a huge outline, when we know he lacks an outline thanks to the Pac-Man trailer.

I'm not so sure...that wasn't game footage, it was a CG cutscene, and I took that GW to not be the actual character so much as the GW Games.

Haha these roster "leaks" are pretty goofy. Wario looks like he's about to eat someone

Also there's like 4-5 squares for character portraits under character pages. I know they add more after a certain amount gets revealed, but still.
 
Sorry, at work so I haven't been able to read every post, but is there any reason to believe this leak over others? Or is it just the popular leak at the moment?
