Maybe the camera is moving around the winning team and the picture was snapped at a time it was focusing on Shulk?

Well, there are 5 characters missing on the CSS, that's a pretty good indication something is up.

In Melee and Brawl, the better scoring of the team players gets their victory theme. This might be a counterpart.
Of course, why would the CPU score better?

Lets all try and ignore the giant purple, space pirate elephant in the room as we discuss our next newcomer nomination:
Rundas
Notable Appearences
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007)
Bio
Rundas is a Phrygisian Bounty Hunter whose personality differs depending on the situation; he can be arrogant in front of others, but is quiet and dutiful in following commands when working alone. Rundas prefers to work by himself, even against large numbers of enemies; however, he remains sensitive to the safety of his allies. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Rundas is initially hired by the Galactic Federation to combat the Phazon virus infecting their Aurora Units. Rundas and the other Bounty Hunters rush to activate the generators powering Norion's planetary defense system. Along the way, he saves Samus several times while she aids him in restoring power to the generator conduits.
What NeoGAF Says
What do you guys think? Does this ice-based bounty hunter have a cool enough head to take on the heated competition of Brawl? Does this chill dude have enough moveset potential to justify his inclusion with only appearance in the Metroid series? Do I have anymore ice puns left?

What if he revealed Ness in addition to Ice Climbers, and Ness used the same render as the leak?

Rundas, eh? I can dig. None of the hunters from MP3 really jumped out at me as worthy roster additions, but I did like Rundas' boss fight.

Well I'd welcome Rundas Battle theme into Smash if anything, I was always more of a Spire man when it came to my secondary bounty hunters.

They're either all real or all fake, because Ganondorf matches up with the CSS image on the original leak.

Samus, Kraid, Ridley, Mother Brain, Metroid, Adam, and Remember Me Dude.
That's as far as my knowledge of Metroid goes.

Also Rundas Battle theme is arguably the best battle music from Corruption
Rundas is a cool char-Fuck.
Rundas is an interesting character with a wide and varied moveset. You've got ice pillars, ice "flying", freezing foes solid, throwing ice chunks, that big-ass ice flail, etc. Really great potential (Unlike, say, Anthony Higgs). The main issue is that he's kinda minor. His only appearance was as a side-character
. I'd have fun playing Rundas, but he isn't a Nintendo all-star in the same way Anthony Higgs isn't a Nintendo all-star. He's kinda like Sheik in that way, although Sheik at least has the excuse of being a gimmick for Zelda.
So Rundas is a character that would be fun to play, but I don't think he's begging for a spot.
Also, his battle theme kicks ass.

who dies as a boss early in the game

Rundas ain't happening, but boy do I want his theme in the game!
Don't worry, the Ness reveal tomorrow will end all the suffering.

If it's that or Dr. Mario, heads will roll.

I think if the third leak is fake then the rest of it is as well--the haste at which it appeared after the others discredits the idea that someone up and made an identical Ganondorf render to piggyback it.
The Rundas battle theme is arguably one of the best tracks in the entire trilogy. It's just that good.

I want Rundas. His theme, at least.
Seriously it's soooo good.

I would love for this to happen lol
Man, I don't remember Rundas at all. Like, I know his name, and I vaguely remember his boss fight, but it's been so long since I replayed Corruption that it's all sort of a blur.
He's low on my list of wanted newcomers for Metroid (below Ridley, Dark Samus, Anthony Higgs, like half of the Hunters), and I think he's unlikely to the point of impossible, but I do love me some ice fighters, so I couldn't complain.

Yeah. If I remember correctly it was even used in one Metroid Prime Trilogy commercial.
What if it's 90% right? Does that mean it's 100% wrong?
Sooo... anything new from yesterday guys? Or are we just still going insane?
I saw the post of the Dunk Hunt render, but I don't think that means much.
Also, Rundas! Like him a lot, but I'm pretty surprised he made this list. Interesting to know he's got a bit more support than I thought.
These things rock Oric! Wish I would've participated, but alas I failed.

man I sure as cuss hope so
I keep going back and forth on it.
Like...he's a character I never expected to come back (except for as a Mario alt) but at the same time it's such a silly, fun idea.
Yes.
Anything to end this bad charade lol.
I can't think of any hunters I'd have over him. Ghor and Gandrayda are about on the same level of importance, and then all the Hunters side characters made even less of an impact.
Anthony Higgs is probably the best comparison; Anthony is also a minor character from one game.
The main difference is that Anthony survives through the whole game, while Rundas actually has a boss fight.

The room in the Tomodochi life stage on the leak, which was never before seen, was revealed in Famitsu today.
Rundas was ok, I wouldn't say he was...that cool though ohohohohoho *gets booed off stage*
Seriously though, the fight with him in MP3 was fun.

Sounds good.
I know, it should've at least been Miku related.

As in "Heathcliff"
I haven't play any Metroid Prime yet, so I would pass on that character for now.

How do you figure?
If Ness's model is literally the same one as the leak...how would that be possible?

I honestly can't think how the Ness model would be 100% right yet they managed to see a detail as obvious as the Ice Climbers not being in the game, it's an impossible scenario.

I didn't remember what Rundas' theme sounded like, but I'm listening to it now, and I definitely approve. However, to piggyback off Toxi's post, he's pretty minor and doesn't have much personality. His potential moveset is more interesting than he is. Honestly, I'd put Rundas' music in the game before I'd put Rundas himself in.
You're missing out on life Heath.

That's cool. The more the merrier
Awesome, thanks!
Yeah, but I don't really like that idea. It's such an easy way to win, and what happens when you last until the bomb comes out? You hit the person, as you're getting happy about your victory. BOOM! Bom-omb comes down at you, and you end up losing the match.
Well, I really don't see a Sudden Death match happeing. I mean one stock with 3 minutes on the clock to KO the opponent? Should not take that long.
Of course not, but that was only confirmed in For Glory. IIRC.
The discussion is real.
I haven't either.
Everyone is scared.
