Sadly the picture shows zero items, so it's impossible to legitimately tell what's going on.

Could be random tripping, could be a sweep move(maybe Dedede has one?), an item, Diddy's bananas, or an invisible character with a sweep move. These are all taken during development so he could've just manipulated the models for fun and using his awesome skills to remove what caused the tripping to leave us in the dark.

I can't wait to see how we can remake this situation(if it's possible).

What was the one "leak" posted a few (as in: a lot) pages ago? That claimed Little Mac was the next newcomer, Chrom would replace Ike, etc. etc.?

I can't find the link, but I'm pretty sure it mentioned something about Lucario being cut. Like 93% of all runors did.tongue

We know the SSB Universe rumor is false. Rosalina got announced, after all.

The NeoGAF one is still possible. With Little Mac, Mii, Pac-Man, Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, and Mega Man. Nothing else was specified as well, like cuts or whatever.

I'm kinda disappointed with Lucario, because it means Mewtwo is probably gone for good.

FireRed and LeafGreen were released on January 29. Exactly ten years ago, in fact. Off by two days, but still...

[up][up]No it doesn't at all.

On Lucario: Good. Whilst not surprising, considering that he was getting prominent recently, it's always good to see another character from Brawl make it in. Though that said, Sakurai did say they are planning on including every Brawl character in this game.

...Where did he say that?

I remember various statements, but nothing like "I want all of Brawl's characters to come back in SSB For"...

Specifically, the part where he said he won't be cutting anyone out of the way.

Adding new characters is not a simple addition – it’s really multiplication. The amount of work, adding a character is multiplied and becomes bigger and bigger as you go.

We’re going to put in as many characters as we can, we really want to do that, because it's good for the fans and good for all of us. But in the event that we do have to cut some characters, I’d like to apologise in advance to those fans.

He definitely didn't say anything about Brawl. Those are Sakurai's exact statements(according to the article, anyway). The start of the article notes how some didn't make it to Brawl, but none of it talks about Brawl's roster being safe. In the interview itself anyway. Did you mean another interview, because that one doesn't have what you're talking about.

The "not cutting charaters out of the way" cannot refer to anything other than the previous roster (read:Brawl) considering that Mewtwo, Roy, Dr. Mario, Pichu and Y.Link have already been cut in the first place and thus the phrase wouldn't really makes sense in regards to them (if you're cut in the first place and Sakurai plans on bringing you bakc but hypothetically doesn't have enogh time to, you can't be cut again without having returned in an actual game) nor to any planned newcomers (if they didn't make it in due to time constraints, they by definition can't be cut as they weren't in the first place).

All I'm getting from you is that Brawl's new characters that weren't announced are easily not safe.

Not that they were, since Sakurai never said that.

So I really don't comprehend how any conclusion other than "I may have to cut some characters" without implying who. The only character that was implied during the development of For that may be cut is Ice Climbers. And the fact he got a similar character working with Rosalina & Luma more or less debunked that issue.(it doesn't not guarantee them back, but it definitely puts them on an extremely high probability scale)

Honestly, way too much is being read into his statements. If a specific set of characters from one game is safe, he will tell us specifically. Until then, we'll just wait and see. I want to believe the rest of the original 12 are safe(Yoshi aside, since obviously he's coming back), but I won't pretend I know for sure. And I'm pretty all of us are simply hoping they're shoo-ins.

I never mean to imply that the entirety of Brawl's roster would definetly be in, just that the only reason say, Wolf, might get cut is due to time constraints, not because they were never planned.

Anyways, I suppose Diddy is next, right? As far as Pokemon characters go, the next one I would like to see is Jigglypuff.

Honestly? While I don't hate Lucario and I can't deny its popularity, I'm really tired of seeing him everywhere. I'm not going to say him being in the next smashis unnacceptable and it's urining the whole game, but I think Game Freak (or maybe Nintendo itself in this case) should get over him/her/it.

If I remember correctly, it was like this the moment he was revealed. It was like the big marketing point I guess. I don't think I ever saw another pokémon get that much merchandise, except Pikachu of course.

Plus, is itme, or is he supposed to be dedicated to the wolves lovers? I mean,wolves seem to be the most popular animal wherever I go, and obviously with the apparence or even the name Lucario seems to be all wolf-related...

...And yet apparently it's supposed to be a jackal?...Huh?

disregard, it's the City Folk stage

Anyways, yeah Lucario! However, I don't know whether to be nervous because this deconfirms nothing found in the same leak that gave us cheap mofo Rool, the unnecessary return of Ike, and that one other thing I won't ever stop bitching about, or perfectly OK because really there was no good reason to cut him.

Because the last Tellius game was seven years ago. He isn't relevant anymore. I know about Awakening, but DLC characters are by their nature optional and don't affect the story too much...

Ike transcends relevancy as he is by far one of the most important characters, being one of the only two characters to star in more one game. Combine with his unique gameplay that he offers, and there really is no reason to cut him.

If what my brother told me about Egyptian mythology is correct (he has good sources), Anubis was based upon the jackal, and the critter was highly held in their world. Lucario draws from Anubis, so...

So Lucario... Yeah, he really came out of nowhere (heck, his page just has a link to the official Pokémon website). Then again, I guess any Pokémon character at this point would come out of nowhere.

Not even the website for X and Y, where you get a Lucario as part of the plot...

On the bright side this means that Lip's character page won't necessarily need a new Puzzle League game to link to? I mean I may just be grasping at straws here, but...

That reminds me of probably the most hilarious of the "learn more about X" links.

"Want to learn more about Rosalina? Visit the official website for Super Mario 3D World!" -said website has absolutely NO information on Rosalina-

So, Lucario...

Well, there goes all my hopes for Zoroark.

Zoroark, to me, is starting more and more to seem like an attempt to repeat Lucario's success, given the amount of hype surrounding its reveal. Especially considering they basically shoved it off to the it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time corner and started promoting Lucario again once it turned out to be nowhere near as popular.
