Personally, I would have preferred a Weapon Master-style Chrom, using a variety of notable weapons from the franchise (to show of the class-change mechanic and crossover nature of Awakening) over a Marth clone, but whatever.

Magic Swordsman Robin is still pretty neat. It could eliminate Shulk as an option, but I always felt that he was mostly wishful thinking, even though it's not completely unreasonable.

As for that Monolith Soft comment, it may simply be because Monolith Soft is working on the game, since they also worked on Brawl. With the "leak" and the comments from Shulk's VA, everything just got blown out of proportion.

What I'm curious about now, if Lucina is a clone, is how that could tie into Dark Pit as a fighter. Hell, it's likely for Dark Pit to have even more variety in comparison, thanks to the number of weapons in Uprising. Of course, the best result would be a Dark Pit trailer that gets hijacked by Hades.

Anyway I have no clue whether this improves Mewtwo's chances or not tongue

Yeah, there's no way. Different clothes, hair, weapon, the fact that Robin was revealed in the middle other Fire Emblem stuff...

@Irene: I'll give the leaker the benefit of the doubt. He did get quite a bit right, and one mistake may not mean the whole thing is bunkum.

Still though, it's gonna take the Chorus Men to fully convince me either way.

Between Gabe acknowledging the ladies of gaming and Sakurai cheerfully making it Super Bash Sisters 2014, they're really taking piss out of those stupid sexist fellers.
Careful, calling it something like that even though female characters are still far and away the minority is falling into a sexist trap as well.

Also, it should clearly be Super Mash Mothers. tongue

^^Important part isn't whether leaker had real info or not, important part is that this confirms that we don't know ALL the newcomers for sure.

As far as the roster's gender ratio goes, should Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Robin count based on their default ones, or just be excluded as neutral?

Now I kind of want Super Bash Sisters to be an actual thing. Nintendo has a lot of characters they could use for it after all.

[up]I'd say they count for both sides so the net effect is neutral.

I'd say count Villager as male and WFT as female from the site/reveal having those genders first, but count Robin and Miis as neutral from both being on the site.

Eh, the leaker probably got some right information, and tried to add on a bunch of bullshit on top of that.

On the leak still possibly being true, give it up guys. The leaker was caught with his pants down, he was dead wrong about today. This proves he doesn't know everything.

@edvedd: Oh, there's no question(imo) that he knew stuff. Wii Fit Trainer was not easy enough to guess, and Villager had a fair chance with research.

But he did not know it all or had outdated information.

[up] Eeyup.

Rayman would of been legit.

I still don't see why this reveal was so special it needed a three minute trailer and countdown.

Hmmm... I don't know guys. Everyone seems to be really happy and eager to dump the leak because they got something wrong. Imperfect Leaks can totally happen, and like the leaker says, Sakurai can change his mind at any time to showcase whatever video he wans. I wouldn't be suprised if Sakurai did this on purpose.

You see, Like in the Pokemon Leaks, when a leaker litterally got everything else right and 1 thing wrong, people called it a fraud and tried to debunk it when the 1 wrong thing was discovered.

The leaker is defenitely under suspicion, but as with the treatment of all leaks, it should be taken with grains of salt. We'll see what happens to the next few character reveals. If Chorus Kids or Shulk don't appear at all, only then can we debunk the rumor.

Seriously, No one ever calls Wii Fit Trainer. Ever.

[up][up][up][up] Anom did say something was off about him getting news of the trailer since most of his leaks were from outdated information...wonder who tipped him off?

I just noticed that Lucina's artwork is similar to Chrom's artwork in FE:A expect mirrored.

[up][up]I'm definitely not calling it busted just yet, but it's just ever so slightly unreliable. Irene is right. He may not have known everything, but he seemed to know at least one or two things.

And that's all I'll say before I look like a total hypocrite, what with me storming out of the leak discussion earlier. tongue

[up][up][up]I agree. Calling the guillotine because of one piece of wrong info seems silly to me. It still could be either outdated or fake at this point.

Hey, there's more. No note on whether Lucina is an Alt or not, but she's in that artwork, so she might not be. I can't wait to play and find out!

He'll probably talk about Lucina more later on. I'm guessing she'll be ever so slightly different. Like, maybe a new final smash or a differing attack.

Lucina's render is based on her artwork as Masked Marth, who in turn was posed to mirror Chrom, yes.

That makes 10. Damn, it really is turning into Super Bash Sisters...

Should be 12, since ZSS and Sheik are totally separate characters now.
