If you want real proof that it's fake, look at the second shot. Player 1 has chosen Marth, but the screens below the roster display Player 1's Marth selection adjacent to Player 3. Pray tell, where did Player 2's slot go?
Talk about stupidity.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Not saying it's true by the way, just basically saying stuff I've heard elsewhere.

animal-lovingSpeculation so far seems to point that the big 3's are the computer levels, not which player it is. Another picture has multiple 3's, so it's possible. It seems like it's been analyzed for hours, and no one has definitively proved it fake, so we may be looking at another Palutena.
Personally, I'll give it a day for it to settle down, but until then I'll default to fake.
Also, the Metroid crest isn't angled the same as the rest of the screen in the ——Y pic (before someone says it's just C/right stick dickery, the Metroid crest isn't angled like the Smash Bros. crests either, and even the 3s look kinda inconsistent with each other.)
EDIT:Though it doesn't disprove anything, there's also the subtle fact that it seems like Zero Suit is locked (assuming it's not like that cause beta, though.)

The New Age of Awesome is here! Not even the sky is the limit!The post/image is gone now, unfortunately, but the "leaker" previously stated
that Ridley was playable and had an image showing not Ridley, but the very lower right corner of his icon, showing only a "Y" and something blue. How convenient that the one character who lacks any art on the official site is the one character he doesn't feel the need to take a picture of...
EDIT: The image is still up

THAT'S it? The Y next to Pit who could be flipping anyone?
It could be real for all I know, but considering you're basically leaking it anyway how much more of a penalty will you get for aiming your camera slightly higher and to the left? That could be Roy and I'd believe you.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectThe positioning of that box suggests that it's a Metroid character, which would obviously be Ridley. Nevertheless, it is odd how the leaker managed to get a picture that heavily suggests, but doesn't confirm Ridley. As always, he's the biggest point of contention.
Nevertheless, from what I know, nothing has definitively been proven still. The biggest actual things against this is Wii Fit Trainer's capitalization (made moot by Brawl Game & Watch) and Ridley's box being off by a pixel. The whole thing is plausible, though it's far from certain.
I guess. But still, saying it's Ridley while taking a photo that barely suggests that it is hardly convincing. Unless he's trying to make like Sakurai and string people along, albeit at the cost of shooting his own credibility in the foot.

Adding on to those, someone on smashboards (first post here
) pointed out the C in Little Mac's name is different from everyone else's.
Edit: Sorry, just realized that thread was in a group board. If you have the images, you can see it for yourself.

While that spot itself could actually be Ridley, the image itself was blatantly fake. It's clearly photoshopped anyway.
Among all those roster pictures, some of them were from different people. The first two ever shown were from one person and didn't have any consistent problems with their design. Wii Fit Trainer was not on there as is, so the spelling issues didn't come up yet. Some question why Bowser is locked, but it's likely the demo version or he was made an unlockable character(some Villains do have this status in the games anyway, so it's not hard to believe). The last bit people questioned was seeing a 3 in the 4th character selection. This is hard to say; One thing to note is that Sakurai already started making differences to team battles. Maybe you just choose a number(1-3) and that's what team you're on. So seeing a 3 there is your team number. Another is the computer level, which always start at 3 anyway.
Shadow?That is definitely fake. The style Ridley has there is way too far removed from the style of the game.

edit: I guess that head sort of looks like Other M

Hm, one of the pictures has player 2 using a Metroid character. It appears the icon two spaces to the right of Samus is the one player 2 chose. The one directly to the right of her would obviously be ZSS. The ending letter of that character is Y.
Smells fake to me.
