He's right. Someone totally could have guessed it all and painted it and photoshopped it to perfect accuracy.

 

[Berordn]

Delusional.

It was pretty much set in stone once NoA started taking down footage. They wouldn't care if it wasn't real.

inb4 someone faked the noa takedown

 

[SmithnCo]

LOL

 

[ratcliffja]

How can you not recognize Lucas?

It's tiny and blurry. How can people recognize anything from that?

yfw it turns out that it was taken down by Nintendo of Americo

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I hope Ridley gets announced while I'm at the hospital.

[Finale Fireworker]

Wait, are we thinking that the unlock conditions are legitimate?

What are you talking about?

 

[ratcliffja]

I hope Ridley gets announced while I'm at the hospital.

That depends. Just how long are you going to be at the hospital?

 

[A Link to the Past]

What are you talking about?

There was a text leak claiming to reveal the unlock conditions for the unlockable characters, which included

Bowser Jr.
Dr. Mario
Wario
Jigglypuff
Ganondorf
Lucina
Dark Pit
Ness
Mr. Game & Watch
R.O.B.
Duck Hunt
Falco

And then I saw people discussing the idea of Wario being hidden, so I figured there was some weight to this.

 

[The12thGripper]

Why do people have to be assholes and make fake shit to rub salt in the wounds?

;(

 

[Gilbals]

After all that, they turned to the audience and bowed, for their short play about our little thread throughout the past week was complete.

Spoiler

7/10 I clapped.

We're just going by the character select screen in the eShop.

I haven't seen or heard anything about this and I've been here all night. Do you have a link? Are you sure we aren't just going by the starting roster we saw today?

 

[Qurupeke]

Poor guy...

 

[BitStyle]

So he is denying a leak he hasn't even seen? What kind of logical loop-the-loops did he have to perform to reach this level of denial?

 

[Axass]

That's funny because I just saw someone on /v/ saying exactly that.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I've never actually seen that. Do you have a link?

EDIT: My link - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/69963292

I was fairly certain it wasn't anything, but the talk about unlockables made me think twice for a moment.

Didn't you know? Wii Fit Trainer was a really obvious guess.

 

[Toxi]

You know, it's kinda funny how similar Metal Face and Ridley are.

• Both are likely stage bosses in Smash 4 Wii U
• Both attacked the hero's home and killed someone important to them
• Both kick the hero's ass at the start of the game before flying away (Unless you're really good at Super Metroid)
• Both have a grudge
• Both are violent subordinates to more calculating villains
• Both keep coming back to fight again and again
• Both can fight well on the air and the ground
• (Major Xenoblade spoilers) Both
  Spoiler

  were resurrected as cyborgs

 

[Finale Fireworker]

It's from the Japanese eShop.

 

[Pompadour]

So good.

That period right before a Smash game has launched and the roster has been leaked is great because you get to watch people go through the five stages of grief.

 

[PRjumpman124]

I was looking through the musicians list on the smash bros site and noticed the name Nobuko Toda, who arranges Metal Gear Solid music and I believe was credited in Brawl. Has this been discussed?

 

[Nocturnowl]

I smell an event match there Toxi, fight both Ridley and Metal Face bosses at the same time on final destination, it can be titled"too two big buddies".

You poor thing.

It means nothing. Unless you also expect Idolm@ster stuff in Smash.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Meh, that's kind of a lame-ish starting roster. I do wish that they would have pushed Lucario and Toon Link back in favour of Ness and Wario, though I suppose it's possible that Sakurai didn't do jack all to their movesets so he just slapped them into the hidden roster.

 

[Jaeger]

The leak is the Faked Moon Landing of gaming.

 

[Ahnez]

It's from the Japanese eShop.

Its pretty believable to be the starting roster actually

Both are too big

just kidding lol

 

[Vidiot]

I know it doesn't necessarily mean anything but the first set of smash amiibos comes in 12 and if they keep that up another three sets would give us exactly 48. That's the leaked roster minus Mii.

I'm starting to think that what we saw is what we'll get.

 

[Makai]

It's all exactly the same as setting it up in English. You should be able to walk through it with a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax5uRS4g--c

I got it, thanks.

But there are 49 characters

Either that, or 12 DLC characters. But the most likely option is definitely the 48+Mii roster.

Fake? It sounds true but then it also sounds too good to be true.

 

[Cse]

It's from the Japanese eShop.

This would be a large starting roster.

 

[TheUnsane1]

I got it, thanks.

No problem! It's how I set mine up Not much longer to wait.

Doubtful.

I feel confident at this point that the leaked roster is the final roster...for both versions.

 

[A Link to the Past]

That leak seems Hella fake, they even messed up on the text and listed Impa twice.

 

[georly]

This would be a large starting roster.

It's just everyone except lucina, right?

I mean, it's possible it's starting...

I just wish it were smaller, personally. Unlocking characters is so fun.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Year of Luigi bumped Wario to formerly Luigi status.

 

[-Horizon-]

Saw this on /v/. I lol'd.

Spoiler

Ridley confirmed.

Story is being continued here.

I was completely thrown off by the fake ending post in the story and got all sad. Then the real end happened and I was still sad but for different reasons.

lol impa and reusing another fake leak

 

[Ahnez]

Well, 12 (13) locked characters seems pretty reasonable

 

[Kyzer]

You guys are laughing at the logic of a miiverse post...It might be a 10 year old kid...i think you're all losing your minds.

Its fucking miiverse. The fact that you are even postulating on a post makes you more of a joke than the post.

 

[ratcliffja]

Didn't Sakurai say from the very beginning that the rosters would be identical on both versions? I really doubt Wii U would get exclusive characters. I really hope we get DLC, though.

 

[Drago]

http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/260590895#p260590895

Fake? It sounds true but then it also sounds too good to be true.

The 5 exclusive characters for the Wii U version:

• Impa
• Impa
• Dixie Kong
• Ridley
• Mach Rider

nope, don't see anything wrong with this

 

[Revven]

I can't wait until Duck Hunt gets revealed as being real alongside Dr. Mario and Dark Pit just so I can see the frenzy Miiverse posters will be put into. It will be glorious to see the reactions!

Maybe it's Impa (OoT) and Impa (SS). lol

Spoiler

it's fake
