If they're cut, Ice Climbers were probably a victim of the 3DS.

If this is the case, I don't understand why they couldn't be included in the Wii U version, it'll make the Wii U one a bit more special, nothing wrong with that.

 

[LiamR]

At least we can edit Ganondorf's moveset ourselves now, right..?

 

[Ridley327]

Never underestimate how good people are at making fakes.

Show me a fake video with a character that's as well animated as Bowser, Jr. The clown car has its own set of facial expressions, even.

 

[ultron87]

Shulk is in! Yes! Him and the FE Awakening characters were my most desired newcomers this whole time.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Guys, oh god, what do I do? Shulk was confirmed, should we let the shulking commence?

 

[Brazil]

Suck it people in denial.

 

[onilink88]

Suck it, Shulk haters!

 

[LuuKyK]

YES! Jiggly is back for real. ;_;

Still, very questionable choices from Sakurai. To have Dark Pit and Dr. Mario over unique characters like Ice Climbers and Mewtwo. I mean, come on... Even if they are DLC.

 

[blitzwolf215]

I LOVE Bowser Jr's moveset. I'm so happy he is in.

Edit: You know, I wonder if those characters are gonna be free DLC on the 3DS version, and maybe already available on the Wii U version.

 

[Tiops]

So much crown will be eaten today.

Where is the guy that said it was fake because of the Dr. Mario render? That was fun.

 

[Bonobos]

Duck hunt dog gonna be my main then! I can wait to spam his taunt all over the place! Lol

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Oh I just mean I don't like the connotation of a hunting game being represented in Smash Bros.

Duck Hunt was a light gun game. Worst case scenario, you were merely giving the ducks epileptic seizures and the dog was assisting them.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Oh come on... Even Bowser's Drop Kick is in it.

Across TF2 and Dota 2 and many other games with unknown content and reveals, I've seen some really good fakes. I'm not going to let my heart ache again. I need to tell myself it's fake.

 

[jonno394]

Im hoping the Wii U version has an exclusive Ganondorf that uses a sword ala

Spoiler

the final battle in Twilight Princess

. It'd make sense to offer exclusive characters to tempt people to buy both versions.

 

[Eolz]

Wasn't it said that he's gonna be DLC?

I think this leak was fake though

You will get Pink Gold Peach and Pseudo Palutena for Smash 5, and you will like it

NOOOOOOO

 

[DarkKyo]

I'm surprised that gameplay pic turned out real, it looked incredibly fake.

It pains me that Ganondorf looks as useless as he was in Brawl, being a clone is one thing but being a vastly inferior clone is completely another. However, DUCK HUNT DOG is playable, I don't even know how this could be possible

I liked Ganondorf's playstyle - it just needed a buff. There's no way they didn't buff him this time around.

 

[Porcile]

I really hope this isn't the final roster at least. The character select screen is laid out in a way which doesn't make any sense. I'm assuming there will be more hidden characters or DLC and the incorrect positions will be rectified.

 

[Soulflarz]

MONAAADOOO MONDAY

 

[Jaeger]

There is at least 5-6 slots left on that screen for characters. I'm calling it now;

Mewtwo
Ice Climbers
Wolf

 

[CassSept]

Suck it, Shulk haters!

Oh, they will

 

[IntelliHeath]

No way

YES WAY!

 

[Grakl]

There is at least 5-6 slots left on that screen for characters. I'm calling it now;

Mewtwo
Ice Climbers
Wolf

The remaining three are Ridley's?

 

[LiamR]

Hoping Dark Pit isn't a *total* clone. There are hundreds of weapons and powers in Uprising they could call upon. Total missed opportunity if they're the same ones.

 

[Forkball]

We can put these Smash pics in the big pile of real Nintendo leaks no one believed with Pokemon BW and Pokemon XY.

As I said in the other thread, the current roster + Chorus Men = 50 characters. I think the roster caps at that, but there's still a chance of more. I wouldn't bet on it though.

 

[Golnei]

Hoping Dark Pit isn't a *total* clone. There are hundreds of weapons and powers in Uprising they could call upon. Total missed opportunity if they're the same ones.

He might just have Pit's Brawl moveset. Which is better than being a direct clone of SSB4 Pit, I guess.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So who is absolutely cut, according to the leaks?

Ivysaur and Squirtle from Brawl
Mewtwo, Roy and Pichu remain cut.

 

[Cube1701]

If this is the case, I don't understand why they couldn't be included in the Wii U version, it'll make the Wii U one a bit more special, nothing wrong with that.

Perhaps the rumoured "DLC" characters are all in the Wii U version, and will be released for free on the 3DS after the Wii U version is out.

That way, the Wii U version has some returning characters, a returning third party character and a newcomer before the 3DS version.

 

[Firemind]

Whoa. The placement of some characters on the roster doesn't make sense though and does this mean Ganondorf hasn't gotten a rehaul? Imo this character needs to be redone from the ground up.

Big G's moves seem to be completely different than in Melee. His recovery time seems even slower than before! :lol

 

[ffdgh]

Clone or not I'm so happy the Doc is back <3.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Oh I just mean I don't like the connotation of a hunting game being represented in Smash Bros.

Oh

Its not real though, or even simulated

 

[chadboban]

Now that Shulk is confirmed...

I hope the 'Gaur Plain Level' part of the rumor was true, too.

Me too, would've also loved to see a stage take place on

Spoiler

the fallen arm with bionis and mechonis battling it out during the fight.

...

Spoiler

maybe satorl marsh as well

Spoiler

or makna forest on the bridge with the waterfall in the background

Spoiler

geez so many areas in Xenoblade would make and amazing stages.

 

[JCX]

Does anyone even want Pichu back? He seems to be the least missed of the melee cuts.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Ridley, Meta Ridley, Metroid 1 art Ridley, Other M Ridley and Ridley-x will fill out the character roster.

 

[Soulflarz]

WAIT that means snakes back YEESSS

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Holy shit...no way. SHULK CONFIRMED.

Does that also mean our boy Snake is confirmed?

 

[Alienous]

Copy-pasted Ganondorf?

Dammit, Sakurai.

 

[Fandangox]

dead

 

[Astorgh]

The remaining three are Ridley's?

Ridley is so big that they need three slots only for him.

 

[Revven]

Never underestimate how good people are at making fakes.

If you want to continue to be in denial, be my guest. But no one would ever spend hundreds of hours meticulously reanimating Bowser for a few second video, let alone attempting to match his attacks knockback featured in these videos (mainly, firebreath). It would be impossible to replicate Bowser's firebreath exactly in Brawl without there being a mistake in how it hits the other person. Doing that on top of modelling, animating Bowser Jr., Shulk, and Lucina. It is real, as far as I'm concerned.


There is literally no way to even replicate Bowser's firebreath Smash 4 graphics and animation in Brawl, the best you could do would be changing the color and making the breath bigger but it would still animate the same way it does in Brawl -- which would be a surefire way to know it's a Brawl mod.


This? This is not a Brawl mod. You could not create what's being shown here in 2 weeks. No way. No one in the Brawl modding community is this good.

Edit: Hell, another example that this isn't a Brawl mod is that one of Bowser Jr.'s attacks is a projectile. You cannot create completely new projectiles in Brawl without some really hackish stuff. It wouldn't look this good at all.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

So Snake as DLC is real?

Glad Shulk is in.

 

[Polioliolio]

So.. how do I feel about this..

Well... I don't know what a Shulk is.. Sounds like a sad human emotion or something.

Duck Hunt Dog is awesome!
Bowser Junior is a little cunt, but if you can swap skins with other Koopa Kids, it'll be a hay day for me!

Dr. Mario should have been a more elaborate skin, in a system of skins that had slight gameplay modifications and not slot consuming characters.

Dark Pit. Ick. Isn't there at least some other character from that franchise that's more interesting? I didn't play the new game, but where's eggplant wizard??


Really wanted Chorus Men. but DLC confirmed or not?


I'm tragically upset that there's no Squirtle. Trainer-less Squirtle is my favorite thing from Project M.

 

[brickwalker0]

Clone or not I'm so happy the Doc is back <3.

Seriously, this is what I was most excited about when the leaks hit.

 

[Fey]

im shaking

 

[udivision]

So Greninja is the only new Pokemon?

Maaaan... Pokken, you better exist now.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Perhaps the rumoured "DLC" characters are all in the Wii U version, and will be released for free on the 3DS after the Wii U version is out.

That way, the Wii U version has some returning characters, a returning third party character and a newcomer before the 3DS version.

Yeah, that what I was thinking.

 

[Jaeger]

The remaining three are Ridley's?

Lol. One can only dream.

 

[Soulflarz]

This is like pure joy

 

[IronLich]

Duck Hunt Dog is real?

I question why and who would want this, then I realize that an integral Nintendo character is PERFECT for the Nintendo Character All-Star game.

All hail ESRB0083. A great sacrifice was made to give us this precious info.

 

[Danthrax]

I'm sorry, but after Ice Climbers, Game & Watch, and R.O.B, "Random NES character gets in?" has absolutely 0 meaning now. Not to say they're bad choices or anything, but it is almost impossible to be surprised about that sort of thing by now.

and yet

somehow

i am

 

[Revven]

So Snake as DLC is real?

Glad Shulk is in.

People are saying the DLC list is fake because it was said by someone else just taking the name of the original poster of the leak.

Ignore the DLC list for now until it's starts to get proven (i.e when and if DLC gets confirmed at all).
