This is a HUGE Leak. How could the folks at ESRB let something like this happen? If this guy is at ESRB, he could be a Play Tester at nintendo. Who knows really.

Super Smash Bros for 3DS: New Characters Video LEAKED! (SPOILERS)
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
Uuhhhhh don't they require an ESRB rating by law? There's nothing they'd do about it. I'm certain some very stern words are going to be exchanged between them, though.
Ridley is confirmed by the leaker as is Dixie Kong, Mach Rider, Mewtwo, and Impa.
Not by actual law, but the entire purpose of the ESRB is that it's a ratings system that was devised by both publishers and retailers and is self-governed.
Yea, Nintendo can't just stop using the ESRB. Someone at the ESRB is definitely losing their job though, they're the last place you'd expect leaks to come out of.
Well this is something. Wow. :lol

Yup:

But I guess, since they are a major console manufacturer, they can create their own system. I guess.
Not only that, but it was faked BY HIM.

This person doesn't work at the ESRB.
The ESRB does not receive any builds of games. Instead, publishers send them a DVD with video of the game content, and they base the rating off these clips.
It was a joke, guys =P
The second sentence, that is. The first sentence, I firmly believe, considering a bunch of the screens have ESRB in them:
All the videos and screens we're getting ARE the clips. You can see at the ending of the Shulk victory clip it goes straight to Yoshi during Home Run Contest.

No he wasn't. However I wouldn't believe anything beyond the videos.
Totally missed this. Nice to see that replays are confirmed for the 3DS version. Anything about snapshots?

Roy not coming back, but Dr. Mario comes back.....There is no God
I'm assuming so. They've been in since Melee.
Dr. Mario was always better than Roy. C'mon bruh.

So were the Ice Climbers...
Yup. In another pic at the Imgur page full of them.
Also, it's cool that the map shows online players in real time.
Alternatively, Ridley was hinted at in the Direct. Giant Ridley is not out of the question for a boss version.
I firmly believe they'll be in. I haven't seen the post where the leaker says that the DLC rumor wasn't true.

After seeing the pics and how it's potentially an ESRB guy thats leaking, I'll take it as legit.
Considering you have to send all those crazy kinds of pics and stuff to the ESRB speaks volumes.

Speaks volumes about...what?

Hell, isn't there a chance that they're in the base game, not even DLC? The only hints we've had to the remaining slot are text posts that are completely unreliable
That it's legit.

How would he have access to these models if he just got the ESRB video? Wtf?
Yup, we know nothing that hasn't been confirmed by pics.
I thought he was going to make some weird political statement about the state of our industry and how the U.S. is a nannystate when it comes to something as innocent as videogames or whatever.
Yup, that's what I think. They're most likely unlockables.

My old foe...
Toxi, for the record, I believe nothing any of the leakers have said, outside of photos and videos.
BUT - as to Ridley's appearance in the Smash Direct, what did Sakurai say about him? What were his exact words, do you remember? I can give you a hint.
He didn't say anything at all. Sakurai showed a stage that will probably feature Ridley as a boss, we saw the shadow of a large winged creature with a spiked tail for a few frames, and Sakurai's voiceover stated "There will be other boss characters in the game..."
That's it. Now, I, personally, don't think Ridley will be in the game as a playable character, but using his appearance in the direct as proof of this is indefensible, it's just illogical, it's the same as people using Dr. Mario/Mario gifs to prove this most recent leak is fake.
Stahp.

Last thing we need is a red headed Marth breh pls understand
Roy is a newcomer in this game
It looks like he's jumping from those gifs. Might still be able to float like Peach, though.
Is this the original leak, from back in July?
Oh man.
PLEASE BE DLC CHARACTERS. C'MON ICE CLIMBERS AND SNAKE.
