I'm lovin it.
Can't wait for the official announcement of Shulk now. As long as he isn't completely terrible, he will totally be my new main. >.>
This leak is probably doing Sakurai no favors. The man already expressed his disappointment when the Subspace Emissary cutscenes were leaked for Brawl. Now (potentially) the entire roster has leaked ahead of time. Sakurai must be furious with the gaming community right now.
Gaming community? He has no one to blame but his own people or himself. The gaming community has no way of getting this info without help of an insider, or someone who Sakurai have the game to for testing or reviewing.
If anything, considering the level of technology available at fingertips and in phones these days in relation to Brawl he should be happy it didn't leak sooner. We're talking about 3 weeks until release and the excitement and anticipation only seems to be going up even post leak. I'd say job well done.
This is a massive disappointment. A fantastic oppritunity to put in the Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf (or even better, Toon Ganondorf) with his swords completely missed for what looks like a damn carbon copy of the Brawl Ganondorf (his moves do look faster, but to see he still taunts us with his sword is a grand insult by Sakurai). Maybe in the next Smash -_- His triple jump looks like its a joke still too. Well, can only hope for custom moves which can't even be used online anyway... Oh well, at least he, Wario, and Ness (and Dr. Mario) have returned!
I agree, no publicity is bad publicity etc. Sometimes I think all these "leaks" for upcoming games are given the okay by the devs to get people hyped for games. However the bolded part of the quote is what got me. Game comes out October 3rd. More like 5 1/2-6 weeks from now. But I guess I'm just nitpicking.
You might be right, but sooner or later if more Smash games come out they will move on from TP version of the characters I would hope and probably by then make him right.
Was there any confirmation that stale moves would return from Brawl? This was one of (many) major issues Ganondorf had. Very few ways to unstale as well as some others could.
So help me Sakurai you better not remove his chain Thunderstomping...
Anyone have a working link for the videos?
Didn't get to see them...

Removed by Nintendo from Youtube very recently.
Found one in the reddit thread for Shulk/Bowser Jr. If anyone finds a link for Duck Hunt that'd be cool.
He wasn't in the videos that I saw, well, least the ones that were up the past 2 hours. They were leaked via numbers but some of the numbers were missing.
Shulk, Bowser Jr., Ganondorf, Charizard were shown that haven't been seen yet.
Edit: Yeah, that video you have there are all the videos combined in one that I saw.
Bought two on release, sold one to a BG member. Bought two over the years and sold them for more money as the games I was interested in tended to be released too few and far between for me to keep interest in the system. I think with the string of games that have been recently released though, I'd probably end up keeping the next one I buy for awhile.
