Assuming characters are paid for. We know zero details about pricings whenever DLC leaks come up. Also, no, that was a different leak claiming it.
That was not sarcasm, Enlong. Sakurai clearly does not mind fanservicey stuff.
Also, let's not forget he purposely took all the credit for Brawl. No other game, so scapegoating creator is partially his own fault. Ironically so.
Shadow?I definitely typed that up badly.
He did emphasize ZSS' design compared to the original, so I highly doubt he minds fanservice at all. And I do think the Mimicutie was a fanservice-based joke.
But anyway, I can't wait about 6 hours from now to see something that hopefully confirms this leak. I'd take a "playable Dr. Mario" which would clinch it best. Dark Pit being playable is easier for many to see due to Sakurai's Uprising bias, so... doesn't help much. I've seen lots of leaks list Dark Pit too anyway.
Shadow?Unlike the Gematsu thing, pretty much any matching character confirmation would put this leak in a rather comfy spot thanks to the provided renders.
Or an automatic debunk. Because, y'know.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyKill the leak. Give me Ice Climbers.
I have two problems with the leak (ignoring no Ridley and cuts). First, the 3DS has a terrible stage selection. 4 new Mario stages and no new Metroid, DK, or Star Fox stages? Lame. Second, I have nothing to be hyped over. Shulk is fine, but the others I am completely indifferent towards. Jr. is barely okay. DH is okay only because of principles. Dark Pit I don't hate only because I like him.
Yeah, I'd be pretty disappointed with this roster if it turned out to be true. Dark Pit would be the worst clone ever on account of literally being a palette swap of Pit (seriously, with alternate colors and the small 3DS screen, it seems like it could be hard to even tell if you're fighting Pit or Dark Pit). Plus, 2 new Kid Icarus characters while Mother and Star Fox get cut down.
Duck Hunt Dog...eh. I don't see him as a particularly interesting choice, since he's never done anything but laugh, but then I guess ROB never did much either and I like him, so I suppose Duck Hunt Dog would probably grow on me. Shulk's fine, Bowser Jr.'s fine. Dr. Mario...ehhhhhh.
...But then on the other hand, I suppose there have still been plenty of interesting newcomers already revealed. Maybe I just got too absorbed in the characters I'd been hoping for (Takamaru, a Golden Sun rep, a Custom Robo rep, a Sin And Punishment rep) that I'm having a hard time accepting a roster where none of them end up included, regardless of how high their chances were to begin with.
At least we got Robin rather than Chrom.
Heck, whether this leak is true or not (and I'm still leaning toward fake overall), maybe it's good that it showed up, so I could at least get used to the idea of a roster that didn't have any of the characters I really wanted.

Welcome to th:|Some pretty strong evidence that the leak is fake.
It took until now for me to notice the lack of character names on the "leak".

The 3DS would have severely small names on the roster. No point in adding them when you'll see them on the area where your character shows up. The roster itself takes up a lot of the space on the main screen. You need to be able to read them, after all. I do agree it's an odd design choice, though.
As for the roster choices, I'm not terribly happy with them. Or mostly Dark Pit. Should be Medusa. The lack of Ridley and Isaac are fairly annoying(assuming we don't have more to unlock or DLC stuff).
Maybe the Japanese version has an English language change? Or somebody got an English version of it? I don't know. I do think it's strange that one was, but eh. It might also be why Duck Hunt is DHD(and Ducks)'s name as well. Much like how Ice Climber is done in the Japanese version.

Shadow?Which isn't much relevant.
Brawl's demo version and the final version were hardly the same. And I don't just mean the gameplay.
We can't assume a demo will have anywhere near a "final roster" style at all. There's multiple builds overall. I think at this point, due to how near perfect the leak is, only Sakurai's straight information can break it(or confirm it, heh).
Shadow?In regards to the Mii subject:
Brawlers: Waluigi Will Wedgewood (Civilian alter ego of Wonder Red)] Mike Tyson (Punch Out rematch) Alfonzo Mona Jimmy T.
Swordfighter: Nikki (Pen is mightier than yadda yadda) Groose Ghirahim If I can make a decent one, Elliot Hooker (civilian alter ego of Wonder Blue) Sully (Fire Emblem Awakening)
Gunner: Jeff Porky Minch (child version) Penny Crygor

In general I don't mind day one DLC. But if that leak is true (which, I really don't believe it is), they've explicitly cut out characters they know people want to sell them later.
