I'm thinking a Smash Run picture will probably be next.

Spoiler

Though in all honesty I'd like this leak to be confirmed or denied sooner rather than later.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

This week Sakurai will show something to confirm or debunk the link....

Spoiler

He has too.

Better hope he'll show Ness on Wednesday.

Spoiler

In a strange Disco pose.

 

[Flowmoney]

Does anyone else get the feeling that Sakurai will recycle the Kirby alt as one of the upcoming pics?

Hikana564 Leak

This is my favorite leak origin story yet. His source is his pen pal, who likes to troll him. Correctly guesses Ghirahim as Assist Trophy two days before. Says DLC includes Roy, Young Link, Pichu, Squirtle, Ivysaur. Impa, Sceptile, and Captain Toad. The mods imply that Hikana564 is a moderator's alt account.

BONUS: I noticed JediLink of GAF frequents Smash Boards.

If this one were true it would make me the happiest, which is probably why it isn't.

I don't think I've ever seen a recycled pic used as POTD.

 

[Neoxon]

I'd love to see Nick from Ace Attorney as a Trophy, or even an AT

 

[Hatchtag]

Um... guys... forgive me for pointing out something that may seem obvious, but why is the top screen blatantly darker than the bottom one? Just compare the two Bowser Jr. renders. Somebody please explain how this is possible.

Same exact images, just quickly put them on top of each other and took a picture with my phone at a similar angle.

 

[exfatal]

not even close

 

[Rayis]

Sakurai will reveal Jigglypuff next, I know it!~

Prove #TeamReal right plz

 

[Legendarylemur]

Fake. You can see that the pictures are all distorted and icky. Also, the guy on the bottom resembles Little Mac

I'd like to see an unexpected Ridley reveal, throw a wrench into the whole thing.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I'm glad Ridley (most supporters are joking I believe) took over for Krystal and those god damned Geno supporters who flooded the Brawl thread after Megaman got banned. I don't know if I could have dealt with the Smash hype train of Krystal and Geno again.

Don't get me wrong I prefer both of those to the googly eyed doofus who must not be named.

Who might that be?

I just noticed the musician page on the website. I was worried that they weren't going to have all the greats back to remix their own and each others tracks. So glad it's happening again. Too bad Uematsu couldn't make it back though.

Don't forget that the page states it's only for the 3DS version...I'm sure there'll be some surprise guest for the Wii U version!

 

[KelpPlankton]

Honestly, if anyone's going to be revealed before launch as a vet I'd expect Ganondorf. He probably has been changed significantly to be more unique (they already did this a bit in Brawl) and like Yoshi or Bowser they'll want to show that off.

Otherwise, Wario is probably the only other vet we'll see revealed. Everyone else is going to be kept secret as unlockables, unless Nintendo does some big huge blow-out revealathon.

 

[jnWake]

I think we'll get Wario, Ness, Falco and Ganondorf before release. 2 newcomers too.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Abunai!

They made Ganondorf uniquely terrible in Brawl, I'll give them that much.

 

[exfatal]

Monday- New never b4 seen 3ds stage
Tuesday- Ice climbers revealed
Wednesday - Dr Mario Alt
Thrusday- Pyrosphere explained Ridley stage boss confirmed
Friday- DHD assist trophy

my dream week for potd right now...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ness, since we got captain falcon.

 

[KelpPlankton]

That would be like three characters a week, there's not much time left before it's out in Japan. That's not happening.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ness, since we got captain falcon.

Yeah, Ness would be a pretty good candidate for this too. I forgot he existed for some reason.

 

[Azure J]

So, I did a count the other day and counted >220 characters and enemies represented between both versions of the game, including trophies, ATs, playable characters, Smash Run and stage appearances. Anyway, it got me thinking about which characters I'd like to see in Smash 4 as *anything*, even just a trophy. Here are a few that I came up with.

Monita (Nintendo Land) - As much as I'd love a Nintendo Land Plaza stage with her as a stage hazard, or even just appearing, just seeing her in the game at all would be cool.

This post reminds me, did I ever mention before that I'd be totally down with the idea of a playable Monita? She's one of the coolest "one-off" designs Nintendo's had in forever.

Booo, keep Ganondorf how he was in Melee, boooooooo.
I expect Wario, Lucas or Ness (not both), or Ice Climbers next. All have been starting characters before. The quiet possibly cut.
I could see Falco showing up, since he's a very expected character at this point. Ganondorf I don't expect, since I think that they'll keep at least one Zelda character secret. But who knows, stranger things have happened.

 

[callmeJackz]

Still staying on team fake till I die!

Please Sakurai kill this absurd leak.

In Sakurai we trust.

 

[superNESjoe]

She reminds me of LOG from Banjo Nuts and Bolts.

 

[Anth0ny]

GANON TONIGHT GET HYPE

 

[Durden77]

Sometimes I feel weird that like playing as Ganondorf as Brawl. I mean yeah I know he's ass in the grand scheme of things, but I still love playing him. He just feels powerful as fuck.

 

[jnWake]

That would be like three characters a week, there's not much time left before it's out in Japan. That's not happening.

Unless we get a direct! The first one revealed ZSS, Sheik, Yoshi, Charizard and Greninja.

 

[Azure J]

GANON TONIGHT GET HYPE

This event was just too good. It came out of seemingly nowhere and delivered in spades. Did you catch the Mango vs. M2K cliff fight? It actually looked like an episode of DBZ. :lol

Only if her final smash was DARK MONITA

Very intimidating

 

[Berordn]

no deadpan voice delivery, no sale.

 

[Regulus Tera]

We will get a new Wii U stage only for Sakurai to keep on throwing us off.

 

[AdanVC]

Do you think Sakurai will announce when the 3DS game had gon' gold or something? The game is releasing in Japan in less than a month. Can't believe we're so closeeee

 

[Neoxon]

Monday- New never b4 seen 3ds stage
Tuesday- Ice climbers revealed
Wednesday - Dr Mario Alt
Thrusday- Pyrosphere explained Ridley stage boss confirmed
Friday- DHD assist trophy

my dream week for potd right now...

And I thought I was heartless.

 

[Hyperactivity]

20th, which is pretty big.

hmmn..., maybe

 

[Durden77]

dat piercing a-tilt kick

That along with dat dair, and all his specials.

I'm the type of player that really likes to use a character's most fun moves. For instance, I think I'm a rather good Falcon player and know how to play him well, but I'm still gonna throw out Falcon punches. It's just too fun of a move to not use.

So yeah, since Ganondorf's specials are all pretty much just more powerful versions of Falcon's, I really like them a lot. That set of specials is one of my favorites in the game.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Do you think Sakurai will announce when the 3DS game had gon' gold or something? The game is releasing in Japan in less than a month. Can't believe we're so closeeee

I'd imagine the game is already in production, actually.

 

[Papercuts]

Only if her final smash was DARK MONITA

They should clearly take a page out of Dark Pit's book and also give her a spot.

 

[Hatchtag]

Friday- DHD assist trophy

Knowing Sakurai, he'll delay the game a month just to update the DHD assist trophy model to match the one in the leak.

 

[daripad]

Guys, I'm worried that we just have one Star Fox and Zero Mother characters confirmed. If we don't get one character from each of them, I'd say that Lucas and Wolf might be cut. I hope not.

 

[Karsticles]

Will Sakurai continue PotD post-release?

 

[StreetsAhead]

I would totally be down for a playable Monita.

 

[exfatal]

And I thought I was heartless.

then next week it'll be a bunch of filler pics so sakurai can sit back and watch the rage untill friday were he announce a direct

Spoiler

on Tuesday

 

[Durden77]

I really hope Monita makes some sort of appearance, preferably not just a trophy. She rocks really hard. I enjoyed her a ton in Nintendoland, and I'd like to see her return.

 

[Berordn]

Will Sakurai continue PotD post-release?

He hasn't said, but there's still a Wii U version to get through at least.

 

[Hatchtag]

Will Sakurai continue PotD post-release?

Post-3DS release is almost certain, seeing as the game will still have to come out in the U.S., and the Wii U version will still have to come out.
Post-Wii U release is a lot more iffy.

 

[Dryk]

Anyone else have ideas for characters they want to see represented in Smash, but not necessarily as playable characters?

AT's for everyone!

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Monday- New never b4 seen 3ds stage
Tuesday- Ice climbers revealed
Wednesday - Dr Mario Alt
Thrusday- Pyrosphere explained Ridley stage boss confirmed
Friday- DHD assist trophy (newcomer trailer announced for Monday, which turns out to be Paper Mario)

my dream week for potd right now...

With that little bit added at the end, this would be a perfect week of PotDs for me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh so it's AT mondays eh?

 

[kirby_fox]

If it's an AT for PotD that's going to burst this leak wide open, it's probably not DHD.

It's probably Bowser Jr.

 

[Durden77]

What if the leak is real, but we're fake?
