Crap, I just heard Mewtwo and Wolf could permanently be out.
Really? How is that?

I'm way more paranoid about the leaked stage list being final than the roster being final, but I could see it (hopefully) being something like this:
F-Zero and Ness only have one stage in the 3DS version, which is just a ported over version of whatever they're getting in the Wii U version. No other reason why they have a new stage in that selection while tons of other bigger franchises only get veteran stages.
Mario, Zelda, Kirby and Pokemon start off with actual new stages, while the smaller veteran franchises (DK/Metroid/Yoshi/Fox) start off with a veteran stage. Worth pointing out Zelda/Kirby/Pokemon unless I've missed something have no veteran stage in that leak, and Mario could just have Mushroomy Kingdom (pretty 'eh' choice considering the NSMB2/3DLand choices IMO) because it's fucking Mario.
Wario/Pikmin have had little to nothing in terms of portable titles inbetween Brawl and SSB4, and will probably *only* have veteran stages repping them in the 3DS version. Mac's stage is playable from the start since it also works as a general 'Smash' stage, while the other characters like WFT or Duck Hunt Dog with console-only games have their ported Wii U stages locked away. Only thing that fucks that last theory up is Bionis' Leg already being there.
I just can't see DK and Metroid not getting a new stage on the 3DS version and I'd be far more disapointed in the final stage selection if that's true than the final roster selection if that photo is all we're getting (and I think there's more evidence than not suggesting that's not the case for the roster).
Weird to see Dorf so high, he's always been so divisive in Smash. I however love playing as him, so awesome.
5 characters left
Dixie
Chorus Men
Mewtwo
Wolf
Ice Climbers
That's what I think. I just don't see the Ice Climbers being cut. Whether they're DLC or not. Especially with that damn Polar Bear.....taunting...

These are my thoughts as well. I wouldn't be shocked if they are gone, but I don't believe they are.

Divisive characters that are highly loved by the side that likes them will do better than characters that are widely liked but rarely loved.

HECK YEAH! GANONDORF IS AT 14TH PLACE! MY BOY! 
I always love to do super stomp, warlock punch and chokeslam to the hell. He was a lot of fun to play with.

You just made me realise I have to buy at least 51 Amiibos.
Shulk being unlocked could trigger the Bionis' Leg stage to unlock as well. Since there's potentially more characters to unlock, we could get stages for DK/Metroid when someone is unlocked- Dixie/Ridley for instance.

I expect
Mewtwo
Dixie Kong
Ridley
Wrestler
Popo
Also, it's still possible that we have stages that need to be unlocked yet.

Man, I really hope Ice Climbers and Wolf are back, even if it's as DLC.
Ice Climbers are as core to Smash as Captain Falcon to me, and Wolf was one of my Brawl mains.
I need them! ;~;

That duck hunt dog looks hideous. The legit Smash Bros one reflects his normal default look.
I find it interesting that he is so well known by his trolling that that's pretty much his whole manifestation to the gaming community as a whole. Kind of like how in Wreck it Ralph Zangief wasn't really a bad guy, but because he was a pain in the ass to casual players he developed that persona.

I rather have no Ice Climbers than have Popo without Nana.
Hmm. So, do we know when this guy-the worker-last worked on Smash? If it's close to release, I doubt he's playing anything but a full build. But if it was earlier in the year, hell even just a month or two ago, I could see him not playing the full game. I mean, for whatever reason, the Gematsu leaker claimed Bandai Namco didn't get to see a lot of things, so I wouldn't expect a contracted worker to get to see much either.

I'm not entirely sure that we would get Mii Fighter as amiibo.
I'm pretty confident Ice Climbers will be in. I would be legit shock if they're cut.

I think it'd be hilarious if they take a moment tomorrow on the new Pokemon game stream
"you want leaks? I'll give you leaks!"
water gushes into the room
everyone near drowns
sakurai has some inflatable ball suit
the water slowly goes out of the room
everyone is soaking
but dry as a bone, sakurai is standing in the middle in a giant inflatable jigglypuff suit
I have made this image to represent it.
In seriousness though, do you think Sakurai will address these leaks sometime this week or next? I mean not outright confirm them, but stir the pot a bit confirming them, or otherwise trolling people about them?

I still have to get Female Robin, Male WFT, and all the Koopalings. Because you know Nintendo is gonna milk the fuck out of the Amiibos.

Let's make the remaining 5:
Mewtwo (Sakurai said it was a possibility or something like that during a Pokemon thing)
Lucas (Why this character would be cut when there are clones a plenty everywhere else is beyond me)
Wolf (Same as Lucas, except he's even less of a clone so I don't know why cutting a unique character would be something Sakurai would want to do)
Ice Climbers (Fucking christ they aren't going anywhere guys come on)
Chorus Kids (Pretty much corroborated by many leakers and makes a lot of sense given everything we know)

Bio
Ganondorf, known as the Great King of Evil or the Dark Lord, is the primary antagonist of a majority of the games in the Legend of Zelda series. Ganondorf was born a member of the Gerudo; as the only male member to be born in a hundred years, Ganondorf is made either the King of the Gerudo or the Guardian of the Desert, depending on the game. Gifted with powerful magic, Ganondorf often seeks the omniscient Triforce to grant his wish of conquering the entire world. He frequently wields the Triforce of Power, and stages coups against the Royal Family of Hyrule to take the Hyrulean Throne by force. In the English-localized game manual of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, his full name is stated to be Ganondorf Dragmire, and his alias before his incursion into the Sacred Realm is stated to have been Mandrag Ganon, meaning "Ganon of the Enchanted Thieves."
The Triforce of Power that Ganondorf often holds grants him near-immortality; the only weapons that can truly defeat him are the Master Sword, Silver Arrows, and Light Arrows. In addition to granting him power, the Triforce of Power allows Ganondorf to transform into his more powerful beast form, Ganon, reminiscent of a pig or hog. During events of the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the timeline of The Legend of Zelda series is severed into three separate timelines. Thus the Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time has three different future incarnations, each eventually meeting their end at the hands of different Links, leaving uncertain futures for each Ganondorf. In addition to the character from Ocarina of Time and his three parallel future selves, Ganondorf or his monstrous Ganon form appear several more times throughout the series. It is not confirmed which if any of these incarnations are connected to the previous being, and the Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is given a different backstory, leading to the idea that there may be multiple Ganondorfs, much like many other characters in the Legend of Zelda series who have multiple incarnations.
What NeoGAF Says
Congrats, Ganondorf!

Number 1 in my heart
I'd throw Dixie on there. She was on Brawl's code as a cut character. Probably as a dual character with Diddy.

How do you feel about him seemingly keeping his move set for Smash 4?
Also, have we discussed the possibility of his custom moves giving him some more stuff from his games? Unlikely, but still.

1. Lucas and Wolf require more effort than a standard clone, it's entirely valid that they may have been cut late into roster development
2. People said the same thing about Mewtwo as you are about Ice Climbers
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Ouch.
If there is actually 5 more characters then I would predict
Ice Climbers
Chorus Kid/Chorus Men/Marshall
Wolf
Mewtwo
Dixie
It would be nice if we get Snake and Lucas but I don't think they will be back.

Careful with that logic. Keep in mind that Mewtwo, a completely unique character, was cut from the jump between Melee and Brawl. Sometimes a character's originality has nothing to do with if they make the cut or not. There are plenty of other determining factors, the most notable and frequent of which is pure time constraints.

The POTD is going to ride the 3DS train real hard until the game comes out, unless there's something cross-platform to show off like items, costumes, assist trophies, etc. I wouldn't expect any Wii U specific content for a while.

The link doesnt work. Probably banned. And who is this neo zero guy?
Here I selfishly added K.Rool to make it an even 60.
It's not a selfish thing to do... it's the right thing to do.

1) I'm not saying they weren't, I'm saying they shouldn't have been. And also I think a case could be made for bringing Lucas back beig equivalent to doing a clone or two but apparently that's crazy talk.
2) I don't think the two are at all comparable. One is a Pokemon (Pokemon slots are competitive, as has been made apparent), and the other is a retro revival that Sakurai hand crafted. Plus if there is an Ice Climber Smash Run enemy with no ICs, I will eat nothing but crow for the rest of my life.

I'm posting this information to see if any of this actually comes true. Obviously take this with a huge grain of salt because I don't know if any of this is true or if this guy is a big liar. In the Bay Area the smash scene is pretty big. In SF, they hold smash gatherings every week (In Oakland as well "the Made"). Tonight there was a guy who says his internship with Nintendo had just ended. Yes, Nintendo has an office of some sort in Redwood/San Mateo (Bay Area). Anyways, I'll just share the basics to keep it simple.
The following chars are supposedly to be revealed
Bowser Jr. and The dog from duck hunt
Not returning/added:
Wolf and Mewtwo
*49 chars total
multiple skins available such as Dr. Mario. and Jr. Bowser's alt. costumes are the koopa kids.
I'm not standing behind this guy by any means, but we'll see if any of this comes true.

The best thing Sakurai should do is switch one of the returning veterans with one of the dlc veterans and show the now included veteran tonight
Like Wolf for Falco and show Wolf tonight. It would be GLORIOUS
