CHORUS MEN ARE BACK IN THOUGHT! ICE CLIMBERS?!

Please!

I need this to happen. Who knew I'd want Chorus Men in this much?! Darn you Gematsu!

~2%, give or take 1

little chance...ironically

 

[Ceravic]

Give me Lucas, Sakurai!

 

[Crocodile]

All you people focusing on possible logical explanations make me sick. SmashGAF is about the hype! Forget that logic crap!

[Zalman]

Do developers show every single thing in the game to ESRB before they ship it?

Has anyone considered the fact that the "ESRB leak" might not actually be from the ESRB? Because that's what I think.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Also this is a good post from /v/

They're not meaning to show all characters in ESRB, since if they do, there seem to be no image of Mii Fighters.

Yeah when we got all that info. That stood out to me.

Cuatomization wasn't on, there is a separate shot of the Mii Fighters menu

Blue Bomberman, White Bomberman, Black Bomberman and Red Bomberman CONFIRMED

fix'd

 

[Mysterious]

They show what the ESRB needs to see to rate the game I.e. the most questionable content. That's why a lot of the images were close ups on female trophies.

Also they weren't necessarily going to even show the leaked roster image to ESRB anyway. It could be that the person in charge of the ESRB footage couldn't contain having the (almost) final build of the game, and took screenshots of the roster to show his friends (which he did). And then the rest is history.

Can't wait for the "leaks' piggybacking off of this.

We back in session now

I cannot believe how fast we bounced back on secret mystery hype again. I love you Sakurai.

HAHA I was hoping someone would post that GIF!!

PERFECTION

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I'm... pretty sure you're not supposed to send games with wholly missing content like that to have it be rated.

You can if you just send a different build later where nothing has changed but a few things.

Like, "hey we sent you some footage but we've finished more characters. everything else is the same but here's the new stuff in case it would affect the rating."

So was this from the same person who leaked the roster or?

 

[Mysterious]

Guys what if there's not only 5 more characters remaining... but an ENTIRE NEW ROW opens up.

Spoiler

Wishful thinking.

 

[Not75Drops]

It's possible but I'm not holding my breath.

In other news, does this mean that Greninja will be the last character in All-Star?

My heart couldn't take it.

 

[Anth0ny]

Pic of the day. This time, you can challenge every fighter in All-Star Mode from the moment you turn on the game!! This is a survival battle with limited recovery items and no option to continue. However, this mode will be incomplete until you've unlocked every fighter... Until then, you can only play against characters that are already available. This is a picture of the bottom-screen menu, with a padlock indicating that the mode is still incomplete.

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Makai]

I don't want to speculate anymore. I want to know.

Definitely.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Oh yes. It's happening.

Spoiler

If one person tells me lower my expectations while I'm having fun with this...

I still feel Lucas/Wolf/Ice Climbers/Snake are definitely out of the default 3DS version, if only because ithe leak from months ago that started this whole Duck Hunt/Bowser Jr. thing flat out said they were cut, at least for the time being. Sal's source (if you still put stock in them) also seemed to think Lucas was likely getting cut, though also was pretty sure character DLC was happening.

Still, Impa/Mach/Mewtwo/Ridley/Dixie feel like fairgame to me now.

On my planet it means hope.

11 days. One week and some change. Then we will be at peace.

 

[Immaculate]

All from the same guy because the whole image set had esrb0083 too like the roster pic and videos

 

[Porsche9146]

SAKURAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

So if the image gets new characters added to it as they are unlocked but doesn't necessarily unlock and the leak we have has Mr. G&W added to it but still has a lock does that mean we can assume that the CSS we have and the all-star lock we have are at the very least from a similar time frame? That's certainly the implication I'm getting but I'm not sure if that's actually the case or I'm just subconsciously trying to trick myself into believing in Paper Mario and Ridley.

EDIT: Oh, Game & Watch isn't even in the leak picture? Never mind that, then. Still, while it may be no proof, that's still Sakurai playing with leak believers if I've seen it.

 

[johnbone]

Definitely.

bububut the inklings....

Sorry for being out of the loop, but I still don't understand how the lock deconfirms anything.

[GiantBreadbug]

GIVE ME:

Lucas
Wolf
Ice Climbers
Mewtwo
Chorus Kids

I WILL FIGHT FOR THEM

 

[Waluigilicious]

characters the leak with 48 slots enough to fit 5 characters

Hmm. The thing is I absolutely hate cuts so while yes I would rather have a brand new character than say Lucas, I will forever feel like the game is incomplete. (This started off with playing Tekken 3 as a child, it was amazing but I always thought about why characters like Devil, Angel, Armor King, Kunimitsu etc were missing and always dreamt about them being in).

So yeah, although five new characters will be amazing, the completionist in me wants Lucas, Wolf, Ice Climbers, Snake and Chorus Kids (If not Chorus Kids/Snake then Mewtwo). That's because Chorus Kids have been rumoured so much that at this stage they will feel like a cut.

This way there are no cuts from Brawl (besides Ivysaur and Squirtle and maybe Snake), and the only cuts from Melee are Pichu, Young Link (if he even counts as we have Toon Link), Roy and possibly Mewtwo. Dr. Mario was my main so I'm glad he's back.

In an ideal world I'd love Ridley, Bomberman and anything else but I can't help but "prefer" what has been in already. I can always wait for Smash 5 for more new characters. Anyone else feel the same about cuts?

 

[Zalman]

Sorry for being out of the loop, but I still don't understand how the lock deconfirms anything.

The lock means the leaker did not unlock every character.

 

[Mariolee]

Reminds me of Gematsu and the Robin/Lucina trailer, really.

Definitely so. Sakurai knows how to toy with us even when we think we're holding all the marbles.

 

[Kurtofan]

Trust no one

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's going to be real interesting to see what comes of this when we get the JPN release.
Really hoping for some surprises.

 

[Mysterious]

Sorry for being out of the loop, but I still don't understand how the lock deconfirms anything.

The lock only disappears when all characters are unlocked (as confirmed by Sakurai). The leak image had a leak of All-Stars mode, which had the lock.

 

[KelpPlankton]

Sorry for being out of the loop, but I still don't understand how the lock deconfirms anything.

It doesn't deconfirm anything, it opens things back up. It means there's a chance that wasn't the final roster and that there could be more characters.

It might also just be a different savefile but we don't know.

 

[SkullHydra]

I had a terrible headache and I fell asleep on the laptop.

Sakurai gave us hope that there is still a possibility for more characters past what the leak said.

Fat Lucina?

I still feel Lucas/Wolf/Ice Climbers/Snake are definitely out of the default 3DS version, if only because ithe leak from months ago that started this whole Duck Hunt/Bowser Jr. thing flat out said they were cut, at least for the time being.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot pointing to them actually not making the cut either way, so it's safer to just expect it.

I personally don't think this picture means much, as the ESRB stuff clearly was going from different savestates based on the trophy count. We didn't actually see it click on the menu and go to the CSS to see that roster, which means there's no connection there. I do think it's weird how this focuses on what the lock meant though.

 

[BGBW]

You can if you just send a different build later where nothing has changed but a few things.

Like, "hey we sent you some footage but we've finished more characters. everything else is the same but here's the new stuff in case it would affect the rating."

Yeah, and if Ice Climbers are as difficult to implement as many insist they are, they could have very well been disabled in demo builds because they weren't in a usable state.
