Those images are not identical, Ogodei. So nope, leak is still open.

No image of anything matched ever. The only thing that'll make this fake is Sakurai at this point.

Why duck hunt dog as an actual character though? He's fine as an AT but as a roster spot? I can understand the salt.

Just for fun I decided to put together the debuts of all the Smash Bros. characters in chronological order...

  • 1980 - Mr. Game & Watch
  • 1981 - Mario, Donkey Kong
  • 1983 - Luigi
  • 1984 - Little Mac
  • 1985 - Ice Climbers, R.O.B., Peach, Bowser
  • 1986 - Link, Zelda, Samus, Pit, Palutena
  • 1990 - Marth, Dr. Mario, Yoshi, Captain Falcon
  • 1992 - Kirby, King Dedede, Wario
  • 1993 - Fox, Falco, Meta Knight
  • 1994 - Ness, Diddy Kong
  • 1996 - Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Charizard, Ivysaur, Squirtle
  • 1997 - Wolf
  • 1998 - Young Link, Sheik, Ganondorf
  • 1999 - Pichu
  • 2001 - Villager, Olimar
  • 2002 - Roy, Toon Link
  • 2004 - Zero Suit Samus
  • 2005 - Ike
  • 2006 - Lucas, Lucario, Mii
  • 2007 - Rosalina, Wii Fit Trainer
  • 2012 - Robin, Lucina
  • 2013 - Greninja

...The thing that was most evident is the four-year gap from 2008-2011. Shulk's inclusion would help with that a bit, at least...

No.

Limited.

Roster.

Spots.

Also, again, moveset based on slapstick abuse between duck and dog. Best idea, 10/10, would play.

[up]Forgot the Pac. Same year as Mr. G&W, I think.

Retro choice. Let's be honest, he's really well known(and for some, they love the idea of playing as or against him). Plus, you can beat up on him whenever you want. You can't attack all Assist Trophies, and they can attack back. You can make it so he can't, so...

Not identical, but far too close for my liking.

Aside from which, has any of this shown the Dr in action?

[up][up]Okay but there is limited time and resources spent on the game, and said time/resources used on him should've been used on a more wanted playable character.

Besides, Mr. Game & Watch and ROB say "Hi!".

Most people seem pretty happy with Duck Hunt Dog, actually.

I have no issue with Dog/Stanley & Duck as a character.

See, that's the kind of thinking that keeps folks like Wii Fit Trainer out.

[up]Stanley and El Diablo. If we're doing this, we're doing it right.

Yeah, I thought there was something familiar about that Dr. Mario art as soon as I saw it. Seems like it's edited from one of Nintendo's non-game-specific Mario clip arts.

None of the images could be shopped from any others(except Ganondorf's and maybe Wario's). The only possible thing is somebody drew them themselves. Why? None match the actual angles, and no image program can get a perfect angle. It wouldn't work. It's a drawing or real. Which is unlikely, since many of those earlier similar images first appeared barely, I think, 2 weeks ago? That's a buttload of work in 2 weeks. Very unlikely.

And no, better time couldn't have been spent on them. Because that's not who Sakurai wanted. And since when was Duck Hunt Dog not popular? Mostly to beat up on, which would be possible. He's pretty popular, to be honest.

Likewise, we don't know if this is the full roster, also DLC is very likely. Lastly, there is no "roster space". Not with DLC. The game can handle tons of stuff, just not certain aspects of characters at best. Transformations likely lagged the system too much to keep in. Ice Climbers might have similar issues(but it's possible they could remake them as a single Climber with similar moves, as well).

I hadn't seen anyone interested in playing as anything Duck Hunt related until this week.

Yeah, but no one wanted a playable Wii Fit Trainer, and then she got in and everybody was like "Huh. That...kind of works, strangely enough."

Revenge jokes aside, the Dog has been something I've seen pop up time to time whenever someone mentions having a "retro character". Probably through meme status because of that damn laugh.

Depends where you look, Wander. I see it often on Smashboards, even one of my friends is a huge fan of it.

Also, Pulse. I've seen detractors too.

It's a mixed bag, understandably so.

Why does anyone think there are issues with the Ice Climbers? If GC can handle them, 3DS can handle them. Olimar or Rosalina and Luma would be the more complex ones from a programming standpoint.

This leak is starting to aggravate me. It's a junk leak that makes no sense.

Are we still taking the leak at face value, even after a decent amount of evidence suggesting it's faked?

@Naming the Dog "Stanley": That's already the name of the protagonist of Donkey Kong 3, who also had a trophy in Smash, so the dog would need a different name to avoid Names The Same, in my opinion.

Why are ya guys calling the dog Stanley? There's a Stanley from Nintendo.
