This saved me the disappointment of tomorrows reveal. Those are already leaked characters, I was expecting Banjo or Isaac or something.

Why would they readd Roy when there is already a Marth clone versus a new character? Also, Fire Emblem also has 4 reps already I don't get it.
 
Oh look, instead of adding somebody interesting to the roster they decided to go with the dullest fighting game protagonist of all time when his company already has a much more influential representative. Wonderful. At least roy's new design looks good.

Mega Man more influential than Ryu? Allow me to recover from rolling on the floor laughing to say "I wish".

I would have preferred Chun Li, but no way they were going to pick her over Ryu. The thing is, while in any other fighting game including Ryu is like "whatever", here, in Smash, a game that's so different to anything else, it is a fresh and exciting addition. Ryu is the quintessential traditional fighting character and a template copied over and over: his inclusion in Smash is not only a great thing but almost mandatory.

Sakurai actually knew we would leak all of this, but is keeping Goku hidden until the direct.

believe.

Oh weird, I figured we'd just see Sonic Team-related stuff from SEGA and arcade stuff from Namco when it came to more 3rd-party costumes. Something NiGHTS and Resident Evil related would be neat if the floodgates are open.

I wonder if GameXplain will talk about these, or are they too close to Nintendo now?

EDIT:
No, I guess they talked about the Hyrule Warriors leak, so maybe they will.

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.

Ryu is pretty fucking influential as far as characters go.

Need link because dataminer from another forum hasn't posted anything yet

And he is the one leaking everything

Edit: Looks like it is the same dataminer posting on different forums. Huh.
 
You forget this launch title?

1 game in the Street Fighter series since the GBA era, which was basically a downscaled port. Even Rayman is more qualified to be in Smash if we're going to say that a single title in the last decade is good enough.

Can we now have Terry Bogard as a SNK rep? For many obvious reasons.
 
I imagine Roy's in to placate Melee fans and he's an easy-ass inclusion

Roy alongside Lucas would have caused riots

Roy alongside a brand new character indicates they're working on new characters alongside easier-to-make older characters.

Indeed, well put. Probably the same reasoning behind mixing newcomers and veterans in their reveal trailers.

Ryu has been in more games for Nintendo consoles and handhelds in the last 10 years than Ness.

Sakurai must be dead right now

Given his thoughts on why there are less unlockables, he must operate with the notion that secrecy becoming compromised is simply a given. It's about the process, not the spoils. Or something. Sakurai a crazy mafukka
 
SO after watching this video, I started up Smash 4 to try and compare the few moves Roy does to Lucina. I can't identify what move Roy used on Marth in the video. Any guess, or is it a new move? Also, was the way Roy uses his Up B always like that, he's holding the blade different to how Marth and Lucina hold it.
 
i think it's more Lucas' family, there's Boney, Hinawa, Flint and then Claus
My first thought was to think Peach was meant to be Kumatora since she was in red, but thinking about it you're probably right. Flint, Boney and Claus were still playable at different points though. >:V
 
Wait what? I mean the characters are not surprising but these videos are classic mode victory videos, not just filenames. These characters can't be already done right?
That's what we used to think, but imagine the hype meltdown if they revealed they're here right now without the current leak...
