Honestly, I could imagine Snake sneaking into the game without an official announcement. Feels like a thing Sakurai and Kojima would do. Though at this point I suspect he's out.

Considering Pac-Man didn't show up at e3 and got a Tweet-based announcement? Sure, sounds fine to me. Him or Simon Belmont, and I'm set.

Man, all I can think about is how cool it'd be to have an Inkling in the game. But Splatoon is waaaaaay too recent to have been in planning in time for Smash. Right?

I have a message from another time...

Yes, that is likely correct. Like how Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 were absent from Brawl despite coming out before it.

Pokemon X & Y was extremely recent too, to be fair. Barely a year before the 3DS release date, and that's the second date.

It could show up via a Trophy or something.

Greninja's voice is fitting for a frog.

But I expected something cooler for FREAKING JIRAIYA!note

There's a difference between Nintendo's second biggest IP coming out almost a year before Smash and a new IP coming out months later. Splatoon will be lucky to get a trophy, as cool looking as it is.

DLC Inkling. Please Sakurai.

If you do DLC for one character let it be that.

To be honest, I really don't want Chorus Boys in. Why+ Because they are so bland. Like, there are plenty of more interesting character in Rhythm Heaven games, both visually and just what they do in their mini-games. Chorus Boys are just three white men with wide mouths. Now would they act like Pac-Man but even more by summoning other characters to fight? Okay, I can go with that, but still.

How I've always imagined Marshal/Chorus Men to work was that they'd turn into/use/summon things from other Rhythm Tengoku games. Basically, Game & Watch but with their own series of references. And as a bonus, their attacks could gain power/range if they're used on the beat of the BGM.

And they're still my #1 most wanted Smash character, so yeah. tongue

I don't think "to the beat of the BGM" would work too well. Remember My Music? Online, anyone could have any song playing in the background, not to mention it would get a bit messed up while pausing. What I would expect is a beat to sound while charging up some attacks instead of being dependent of BGM.

The leak only covered newcomers, aside from Lucas, it hasn't talked about veterans at all. I'm inclined to believe it's real, some of the guesses were way out there, and Mii changed to Mii Fighter in a later leak, an oddly specific title really. But there is a chance it could be a fake. If Chorus Man gets in, I'll fully believe it.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

I seem to recall it said Snake is cut.

And yeah, if Chorus Men get in then I'll believe the leak was real (And be more annoyed at the leaker for ruining the surprise like that). As it stands, I believe it's mostly coincidence and easy guesses. Palutena, Miis, and Pac-Man were, like, three of the most obvious characters to expect.

The leak, if true, is likely to have been from early in the development process, as indicated by the use of 'X/Y Pokemon'; (Sakurai stated that he decided on Greninja before it had been named, from early design documents) so we don't really know what's been kept, scrapped or iterated on since then.

The roster was probably mostly finalized around that time, though, to be fair. Keep in mind the roster has been finalized for months, we just don't know all of it.

@Anom: The Gematsu leak did not say anyone was cut besides "maybe Ness or Lucas, more likely Lucas".

Snake was not cut according to that specific leak.

Shadow?
