With Nintendo stepping in on the leaked videos, tonights POTD will be very interesting...
Yeah I remember that interview.

The cutscenes were the best parts of the SSE. Without them, the mode is just a bad Kirby clone with a horrible art direction.

Oh lawd. I hope Shulk's reveal video is glorious.
SMASH RUN
I know. Poor guy. He definitely wanted to be the one to show all of this off. It totally lessens the wow-factor.
Duck hunt dog reveal could have been a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge wtf, but now, we know it's coming.
We'll get an image of the leaking magma on Pyrosphere.
Honestly I liked it, but after finishing it at the hardest mode I never went back to it.
Adventure mode was more replayable with the scores and stuff.
Super hyped for Smash Run.

Haha, probably!
The rest of our PotDs are Smash Run pics
Sakurai quietly thinks "You all deserve it...."

Nintendo needs to issue a direct
I'm mad about that, too... And the Stage Roster... And also Lucas and Ice Climbers, but I still can't help but feel bad that his dream of an Unleaked Smash still isn't true.
But, again, Nintendo will know that I'm pissed off about the stage selection in this game, unless for some reason the new Sonic/DK/Pikmin/Kirby/Wii Fit/R.O.B./Wario/Yoshi/Metroid/Star Fox/other Pokemon/Zelda stages are secret for whatever reason, and Mario isn't just dominating the stage selection. Or at least the DLC better not be paid; I love DLC, but the Melee scraps are what should've been DLC, not any-and-all-new-stages for these franchises.
lol no it won't

My thoughts exactly. Reveal everything else on their terms.
Probably not in content, but them doing nothing will give us the heads up that it's business as usual on Sakurai's front.

At the very least I'm hoping for a RH character, but this is very possible as well.
i assume exactly like pit but with different weapons.

It really is, it makes me a little sad about following all this leak stuff so closely - but not bad enough that I'll stop.
FORTUNATELY for Sakurai, "we" are only like 5% of the Smash Audience. Most people will still have a powerful WTF reaction when Duck Hunt is revealed.
You think Sakurai actually goes online and reads all of this crap and hears about leaks from anywhere other than Nintendo reps, or maybe Twitter?
The dude is finishing up two entire games. The pic of the day has nothing to do with ANYTHING that happens on the Internet. It's all in our imagination.
I know, I know, no fun allowed.

No. It probably never even made it to the drawing board, for a number of reasons, including, but definitely not just limited to, that the cutscenes getting leaked online ruined the surprise.

Iwata and Sakurai need to address this issue directly.

Technically if you count Wario and Yoshi as Mario series which they are subseries, Mario takes up roughly 1/5 of the whole roster. Yeah.

Good POTDs after this would be information that wasn't leaked. Confirming there are more characters or stages, for example, would really get people talking and would bring attention back to official news, rather than leaks.
The problem with leaks is they have no control over what information spreads. Look how confused we are over the last few CSS slots. DLC, no DLC? We don't know. Maybe there are more stages, but now this leak makes the list look small, but we don't know because the game leaked and now the leakers control the narrative.

The ultimate insult to injury.

At the VERY least, that's 49 characters, (52 if you include the variations of the Miis). That's the worst case scenario.
I played SSB64 in college for hours upon hours and was thrilled with my 12 characters, dammit.

Yeah, it would be kind of awesome (and totally out of character) to drop a huge bomb in the next PotD to prove they still have a few secrets up their sleeve.
A huge bomb... hmmm... huge. What would be the biggest thing they could reveal that hasn't been spoiled yet?... I know there's something, I can't quite put my finger on it though...
*EDIT* Seriously though, some hard info about whether or not there's DLC seem like a good way to go, just to keep us guessing.
Eh, we're 5% of the smash audience, true, but this leak will spread beyond us. The same people who watch the newcomers trailers on youtube/smash's website likely will know about the leak. It's the people who don't follow it at all and then buy the game that will be surprised.

I see what you did there.
But Shulk has been a requested character the whole time. The game was also quite popular in Japan and has a new game in the series announced. It was not an out there guess like Chorus Kids.

It would be absolutely insane in here, more so than it is now. Because it opens the door to more stages, more characters, etc, that weren't leaked.
Oh god x)Guys
What if
*quickly made in photoshop*
This might be the cutest Kirby Costume ever
I have no doubt that most game developers go online and read what people are saying about their games. Some might do it only rarely though, if they're sensitive to criticism or whatever. But the disconnected vibe we get, officially, from a lot of the people at Nintendo is probably just part of the company policy.
Hahah! That's cracked me up.

So, this is all moving a million miles a minute and I just saw the new stuff from today, so it's probably been discussed already, but I'm guessing the 4 veterans + chorus kid DLC is real. 5 more characters fits perfectly on the roster leak. I'm willing to bet they were all planned from the beginning and have stuff in game but were delayed just to make sure the games are both out by Black Friday. It would make sense to delay characters that are hardware intensive and thus very time consuming (IC & CK) as well as old clones that are less missed and thus less important for launch (Lucas and Wolf). The only weird character from that list is Snake, but who the hell ever knows what's going on with him.
All of which leads me to believe that, yes, the second DLC list is probably fake. It's possible something is/was planned for all of those characters, but I'd bet even if that were true they were probably originally planned as DLC. They will be a while off and likely paid if real.
