@Targetmaster Joe: K. Rool has plenty of moveset potential, if that's what you mean. Just because he isn't King Dedede or Meta-Knight doesn't mean he's an invalid character choice.
He's actually the most wanted newcomer in Japan last I checked.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
I thought Dixie was more requested... but I'll be happy to see K. Rool in over her. I find him more interesting as a potential fighter.
I want K. Rool in because he's cool, and because I don't want to see the DK series shafted and he'd be the most interesting newcomer (and nobody would complain about how he was a clone, unlike if Dixie made it in, because you know people would complain about Dixie being a clone even if she was nothing like Diddy)
Interesting that he's the most requested in Japan, though. That gives me hope.
"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliteratorAn interesting new rumor
. Things to take away:
- Implied newcomers: Ridley, Pac-Man, possibly Kamek.
- No characters who haven't appeared in less than two games (so thank god for Captain Rainbow, I guess)
- "A surprising newcomer" whom we've "never seen full-body before" shows up...?
- At least one more WTF pick to be revealed.
- Implied separate Final Smashes for Falco and Wolf.
The full body thing makes me wonder... the heck could that mean?
Definitely getting some "Ridley is totes in this game" vibes from that, but eh.
I guess that would rule out Takamaru being playable in Smash 4 at this point, unless they count Nintendo Land...
Taking this all at face value, of course. Probably just another attempt for attention, but I love me some speculation.
The full body thing, though... that seems to add more credence to what he's saying just by virtue of being that cryptic.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the guy/gal just put that in for sympathy value, if it was a lie.

"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliterator
Just wondering, I think I saw earlier that Sakurai counts Zero Suit and Samus as different characters, but do many fans share that mindset? I'm honestly curious.
Even if so, Metroid deserves another rep at this point. Adam would be fun... but the Internet Backlash.
"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliteratorI'd like K. Rool because I think he'd be fun to play as. He certainly has enough tools and old moves to make a fun moveset, between his boomerang crown, falling cannonballs, multifunction blunderbuss, helicopter pack, and boxing glove routines.
edit:
Oh, and I consider all leaks fake until proven true. And by proven true, I mean when the game has been released and their roster compared to the official one.

I have a message from another time...The "oh, my kid brother is sick so Nintendo just happened to lend us an in-progress copy of Smash 4..." part makes it very suspect, and this guy's a pretty big asshole if he made that part up.
