I find it odd that the leak only mentions Ness/Lucas as possibilities for being cut. This indicates the leaker has some knowledge of veterans not making it in, and I doubt anyone really expects Squirtle or Ivysaur back, but they haven't been mentioned. My guess is that the leaker has knowledge of what was being debated, but not definite cuts, and those two are prime definite cuts. It also explains Snake, as there won't be any debate on whether he's in. He's either in or not.

It seems odd that they'd cut Lucas without even replacing him with a different MOTHER character, so I'm personally sorta skeptic about it. Especially since Sakurai seems to be quite fond of Lucas if his heavy role in SSE and all the MOTHER 3 stuff is to be considered. And Ness is one of the Original 12, I find the idea of him being cut unfathomable at this point.

Snake I can see getting cut since he's a third-party character and that brings about complications. I'm not pleased about it, but I find his return unlikely.

@Irene: Just to add something, Gematsu is a site and not username or someone, thats what google implies at least.

If there really is post-release DLC, can we expect that they'd eventually release a "Super Smash Bros: Complete Edition" that contains all the DLC on-disk alongside the original game?

So, the leak didn't have all the newcomers, and says little on the subject of veterans.

Huh. Even if it is true, it doesn't tell us much beyond what we now know, and more newcomers could be there it isn't mentioning.

That said, you'd think Rosalina would be something it'd have, were it genuine.

I don't know the Leaker's name. Gematsu is just a nickname. Sal didn't release the leaker's "generic username" either for us. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

According to him, though, he "overheard" talk about the Ness and Lucas stuff. If it weren't for the fact most of his was right, this would've been a bit more fishy. Also, the fact he said it wasn't guaranteed either was cut, well... it's kind of lame information. However, "Post game DLC will happen" is nice to know?

[up] Not listing everyone means that other could show up. It's also possible he didn't know of any newer characters that got changed out. The Mii Fighters name could've been very early in development too. Almost all of his information is pretty old anyway.

I find some parts weird, but I do overall find it mostly believable.

Who knows. Maybe those three are all we get. Maybe we'll also get Ridley, K. Rool, and Issac. Maybe Chrom was changed to Tactician later in development. Maybe the leaker is just a really really really good guesser. However, I am fairly sure we'll be getting a Rhythm Heaven character.

Heh. Imagine if we got a completely different Rhythm Heaven character.

Did someone say Chorus Boys?

Bugs Bunny confirmed.

Sorry, I just saw the phrase "chorus boys" last page and couldn't resist. I don't know who you guys are talking about, having never played Rhythm Heaven. tongue

Well, there's been some confusion over whether it was Chorus Men(all 3) or Chorus Man(Marshall).

Either of those are realistically possible. Especially since "Animal Crossing Guy" was Villager. Some vagueness or confusion seems to be the case.

If either of those two show up, well... that's the last unlikely guess.

@Unknown: Chorus men are those three white things on background. Marshall is apparently single one with slightly unique appearance or something?

#47287: Jun 12th 2014 at 11:17:05 PM

The recent leak also said Chorus Men, so misidentifying them for Marshall seems really unlikely. Though I guess we don't know how the leaker got the info, so who knows.

Today's pic is a bit of filler, if still a cool awknowledgement of what Smash is about.

I really hope that if Chrom's in, some work has been done to make him less boring and redundant. Going the Pac-Man route and making him an assist character which represents a larger portion of the Awakening cast is one route, or they could make him a permanent dual/pair-up character (Essentially, the Ike Climbers...).

Though I'd prefer if the 3rd FE representative was Robin or Anna, the leak does seem likely at this point.

Ah, the crazy match ups that can be had. Mario vs. Link. Sonic vs. Bowser. Mega Man vs. Kirby. Pikachu vs. Ike. Pac-Man vs. Wii Fit Trainer. It sums up what Smash is all about.

Mario's got the same FS? Dang. I was hoping for something pulled from his own games.

His Final Smash has as much to do with his games as, say, his down-special from the first two Smash Bros.

Well you can at least say Mario's Final Smash is just the natural limit to his fire throwing abilities.

It could've been inspired by Ultra Flame from Super Mario RPG. A ton of fireballs in one blow? Similar idea.

Mario Finale is a fitting Final Smash, but that's my opinion.

Being an ease-of-use spread shot with moderate damage for a super move, it makes sense for a jack-of-all-stats who's meant to ease you into the game to have such an ability.

Mario Finale brings back sweet memories of the first Brawl trailer, with the introduction of Final Smashes.

So. Cool.
