Anyone here remember the UMvC3 leak? We knew all the characters when it was announced yet there was still a lot of excitement and speculation over it.
 
I mean maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe if these people were leaking evidence about how Nintendo uses child labour for their manufacturing operations* I would see the point. Then I would be like "fuck the man, the world needs to know this!"

Characters in a videogame, though?

Oh yeah, I always forget he was in Duck Hunt.
 
Yeah, the roster is pretty much real. And it is weird, especially since Shulk could be one row above, and they'd have a clean row below for third-party.
It has such a strange layout right now, that I really think there's more to come. Thanks for answering my questions.

And thanks to everyone else that answered too, sorry I didn't reply to everyone, the topic is moving so fast. @_@

*If this was real*
GOOD maybe you can put in those cut characters with all that extra time.

If Dark Pit is anything more than a Lucina-esque clone, rage is coming.

What a stupid fucking character to include.

It's going to depend on what weapon he uses. Clone status plus him literally being a color alt for pit has him on the bottom of my list until I see more.
 
Poor Leaker. :(

I know some fans want their head on a spike, but you kept refreshing and spoiled it for yourself anyway. They only wanted what a lot of fans wanted: the end of months of speculative roster hype and denial, and the beginning of roster acceptance and gameplay hype.
 
BGBW, you did fantastic job with Clown Cart alt colors!

Alright guys, obviously anything could change, but if this is indeed our final list of newcomers:

How do you feel Smash 4 did with it's newcomer selection? I made this picture so you try and think of the newcomers as a whole, not just the ones leaked.

Me personally? A few missed opportunities aside, fucking stoked. 15 new fighters is nothing to scoff regardless of clones, and you could even bump that number to 17 if you count the Mii Fighter as 3 different characters.

I'm very pleased with the newcomer roster overall! as everyone know why I'm pleased :) Also most of newcomers actually brought something new to table. New Modok, Phoenix Wright, Stand User, etc.

Those colors look so good with those newcomer blended together! :)

Exactly!! He should be punished, but it's sad to see people go from "GIVE ME MORE LEAKER" to "LEAKER YOU SUCK"
 
I don't get why Sakurai still tries to act secretive with the roster.Everyone that you work with and those who see the content could potentially leak the roster.

It's not like he cared that Japan would leak it to us peasants elsewhere.
 
nonono you'd still get speculation and excitement, you'd just know who the character's are. For example let's say smash 4 is actually the first smash game. the E3 where smash is announced they show us Pika, Mario, DK, and Link. Later on(after the press conference) they'd just release some info saying the other characters. They wouldn't tell you how they worked or show you them, just give you name drops. TO ME this is the best way. I understand that many of you like the thrill of guessing and speculating what characters are in the game but all I'm saying is that I'm simply not a fan of that, never was and likely never will.

also offense not taken, these are just opinions, its alright :)

Alright, but that still doesn't account for mid-production cuts that would inevitably pop up. Finding out about how Rosalina and Luma had to be cut because the 3DS doesn't like cyan would not be doing any favors.

But I did misunderstand how much info you initially wanted revealed, my bad.
 
I can't pretend I've not enjoyed today. The leaks are exciting, and I love it. I appreciate that this guy wanted to throw us a bone.

But at the same time though, I fully believe he deserves the consequences. If someone doesn't have the integrity and sense to respect the NDA he signed... well obviously they shouldn't be trusted with much of anything, at least for a while. I hope he doesn't get sued into oblivion... but it does also need to be clear to other employees that this kind of violation is a serious issue.

We would have all had the same excitement in a few weeks anyway. And the information was even already out there, just not in visual form.

i always feel like no matter what people will break ndas and hope that the people they tell it too wont break their trust of course the situation is different compared to here but me and a whole bunch of other people were given sample artwork that was under nda for guardians of the galaxy.

Also while i have to say im still pretty excited for this roster im kinda sad that the surprise factor is kinda lost :(
 
Pretty much this. I also feel bad for Sakurai, as information should have been revealed on his terms. He doesn't owe us the info at a set time and, as he's the one putting all the hard work into this, should've been allowed to hype as he sees fit. Not saying the leaker is a bad person, but it's shame Sakurai's surprises are being ruined. No more shockers like the Robin trailer.

tbqh it's not even Sakurai that gets more pissed off, it's the Marketing dept that works hard as fuck to build hype(in the right way), to get cool and exciting stuff in the game and fucking awesome promo pieces (as the trailers, Sakurai probably has a touch in it, but the main thing is the marketing dept), those guys are probably going nuts
 
I don't get why Sakurai still tries to act secretive with the roster.Everyone that you work with and those who see the content could potentially leak the roster.

It's not like he cared that Japan would leak it to us peasants elsewhere.

well maybe then the logical explanation is that he cares about japan
 
Leakers are my favorite thing about gaming.
I wish they could get away with all the leaks. If you can't hype me even after I have been spoiled you're failing at your job anyway.
 
I have warmed up to the Bowser Jr. inclusion, mostly because I love the clown car and the fact that you can probably use all the Koopalings. (Morton & Roy FTW.)

Dark Pit still upsets me though. I swear if the Ice Climbers don't make it in and that guy does, I'll be facepalming all the way til Christmas.
 
Me and my buddy are already planning a Male Wii Fit Trainer / Duck Hunt Dog team called Man's Best Friend; you bitches better be ready to get rocked online.

EDIT: Haha, why this one for top of the page...

Haha, that's brilliant! I look forward to facing off with the two of you. ;)

what.

why was i not informed of this.

You know, if you still need a partner, I'd be happy to pair up with you, former fanfic boyfriend--so long as you don't mind me playing for #TeamChespin, that is. <3

The writing was really on the wall for Dark Pit. The appearance in Palutena's trailer, and then this...

Funnily enough, he clarifies in the caption, "This has absolutely nothing to do with the game I'm currently working on." Riiiiiight.

Me and all my friends are going with an Earthbound themed team. So I'll be Ness and that's it.

Yeah, way to not rub it in.

BGBW
Maturity, bitches.

So...is Bowser Jr. a diddy clone? it sure looks like it to me.

Tongue = Tail

Recovery is very similar

The charge and fire on what I presume to be his neutral B is the same as charging diddy's peanut shooter

I didn't see it myself, but didn't someone also say he dropped little robo koopalings...like Diddy drops bananas. I smell clone.

Whooooooa, I totally did not pick up on that, but you could be right! I dunno how I would feel about that, but as long as he's a fun character, I guess I'm okay with that. Still, if that's the case, why add new clones but cut Lucas!?

i will take you back, even if the sting of betrayal is bitter

(...Maybe Studly Smash Men will be a team tournament)
