Super Smash Bros.

[Not Kuno]

Finally some shit to care about. Even if fake it's more interesting than 90% of the news we've gotten so far.

Oh my fucking god do I hope that is true. I'd love for Mewtwo and some of the other newcomers.

[Xajii]

that leak seems horribly fake if only because haven't we been told the roster is sized down and this leak suggests NOBODY is cut and there are a ton of new people?

[Corrderio]

Chrom is a Fire Emblem necomer. He wields the Falchion, and does not replace Ike.

If true, then hell yes.

[BaneTheBrawler]

honestly this game has me more excited about the wiiu than the xbone or ps4

[Nitsuki]

Damn those rumors have me HYPED up! Lol

Here's hoping chrom makes the list considering they have been adding new fire emblem since melee. KKR heavier than D3? That's gonna be awesome to have the heavyweights duke it out.

[Scythiroth]

Skeptical of those rumors since there is no source or anything, but would be neat if true.

[Madeline]

I want to BELIEVE!

God that would make me buy a WiiU. I want to believe the 3DS version will be good, but I simply can't imagine playing smash to any enjoyment on a handheld.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Ridley is a newcomer, and is scaled down a bit. It was a major feat on the development team.

Please don't be fake. Please make me buy a WiiU.

Digging through the Smash forums, all the new "leaks" appear to originate from GameFAQs and /v/.

Are we just ignoring this fact? Those rumors sound hella fake.. Only part I think sounds true is Chrom, but I imagine he'll replace Ike like Ike replaced Roy. And Gangrel and Aversa as assists? There are much better characters who could potentially be assists from Awakening.

[Tetsaru]

I have a feeling Pac-Man would be somewhat overpowered if he got put in Smash Bros. If he got knocked off the side of the arena, he'd probably just reappear on the opposite side, like he does in those mazes. You'd have to make him eat a ghost somehow for him to die.

[Serra]

I'll be shocked if Pac-Man is actually in the game. At the bare minimum, he doesn't exactly have a presence on Nintendo consoles -- not even like Sonic has had.

[Ishido]

9 additional newcomers in additional to the ones we've seen so far? No cuts mentioned, and most characters mentioned as returning. Too good to be true.

[Not Kuno]

Nintendo knows SSB is going to move a lot of systems provided they don't fuck it up.

[Adajer]

Nintendo knows SSB is going to move a lot of systems provided they don't fuck it up.

There are a LOT of things Nintendo could do to move systems. They choose to do none of them.


Edit: What a coinkydink.

[Corrderio]

That video isn't surprising.

[Not Kuno]

On phone at work. What's the video?

[SephYuyX]

On phone at work. What's the video?

Sales are bad.

"We are surprised we aren't selling our consoles i mean why wouldn't you want to buy a console that has no games on it almost 18 months after release i mean we will bring you games eventually" your losing money because your not releasing anything people want, keep it up Nintendo not like we actually like you from our past or anything

Leaks from GameFAQs have proven to be true numerous times (outside all of the bullshit made up pictures). The Brawl roster was fully leaked from there like 6 months out from release iirc.

With that said, might as well turn the specific leak into a checklist of sorts:

Rosalina is the only Mario newcomer.
Waluigi and Toad were at once considered, but Waluigi remains an Assist Trophy, and Toad a move for Peach.
Bowser Junior, Paper Mario and Daisy were never considered. Bowser Junior was planned to be an Assist Trophy, but was scrapped.
Fawful is a new Mario Assist Trophy. He acts like Mr. Resetti, but will attack opponents at random.
Diddy Kong will be the next revealed veteran, to coincide with Tropical Freeze’s release date.
Diddy is paired with Dixie Kong as a tag-team, similar to Zelda and Sheik. Dixie has a separate moveset from Diddy, but it’s still being worked on.
King K. Rool is a newcomer, the heaviest character on the roster. He is powerful and can KO light characters with 2 good Smash Attacks. His final smash has him use the blunderbuss and fire cannonballs from the top of the screen while they fly in from the sides as well.
Gangplank Galleon is a stage.
There is a new Zelda character, although it’s kept a secret so far. The names heard most often are Tingle and Ghirahim.
Ganondorf will be buffed, although he still retains some of C. Falcon’s moves. He can equip a sword using his Down Special.
Chrom is a Fire Emblem necomer. He wields the Falchion, and does not replace Ike.
Chrom is expected to be revealed to celebrate the anniversary of the first Fire Emblem.
Lyn’s Assist Trophy from Brawl has been scrapped.
King Gangrel and Aversa are the new Fire Emblem Assist Trophy. Gangrel runs around slicing with his sword, while Aversa flies above using Aversa’s Night. They are the “unexpected” Assist Trophy.
No newcomers for Yoshi or Wario.
Wario’s overalls are now his default attire.
The Kat & Ana Assist Trophy has been scrapped.
Ashley from WarioWare is a new Assist Trophy.
Ridley is a newcomer, and is scaled down a bit. It was a major feat on the development team.
No new Star Fox characters.
Falco is farther away from being a Fox clone.
Wolf is no longer a semi-clone.
Villager has a female costume.
Mr. Resetti returns as an Assist Trophy.
Tom Nook is a new Assist Trophy. He apparently drops bells across the stage, which causes opponents to trip. (Due to Sakurai saying tripping is removed, it’s unknown if forced tripping, like this and Diddy’s bananas will return, or if only accidental tripping is removed.)
Palutena is a newcomer, with her moves based directly off Uprising.
Magnus is a new Assist Trophy, and acts similarly to Little Mac in Brawl.
All Pokemon veterans from Brawl return.
Mewtwo returns.
Mewtwo and Lucario have very different movesets.
No new Kirby characters.
Meta Knight will be revealed sometime in the summer of 2014.
No changes made to the EarthBound series.
All misc. characters return (Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., Ice Climbers)
Little Mac is a newcomer. He has the look from the Punch-Out!! reboot for the Wii.
The Male Wii Fit Trainer is indeed an alt. for Wii Fit Trainer.
Wii Fit Trainer has a butt attack. It is replaced by a headbutt for the male costume.
King Hippo is an Assist Trophy.
The Ghosts from Luigi’s Mansion are an Assist Trophy.
Snake returns.
Pac-Man will be the final newcomer. He is a secret character.

If it has a strikeout, it's already happened.
