I'm quite happy that we didn't get Chrom actually. We got two characters, and one of them very unique in execution and aesthetics!

Since people are complaining about title, then I will give people a fair chance to revote for new title of this thread.

Please pick all good subtitles, including this thread's title and put up a poll. I will private message a moderator to change the title tonight.

Falchion Punch is the best title. Free. No Contest.

Most of them look better on 3DS compared to Wii U, so perhaps development time is an issue. Either they'll be polished up a little before the console release, or be thrown on the jank pile with Link and Fox. Either way, it shouldn't be too noticeable in actual matches.

No, only Link looks like crap. Yep, new thread and I'm bringing this up again.

Also, I'm so glad the rayman trophy was immediately derailed by the best thing ever. We've all forgotten about ubi trophies. So happy.

I almost have to wonder if Sakurai deliberately mislead everyone into thinking it was Shulk (even if that means secretly being the leaker, telling the Xenoblade devs to retweet the announcement, etc.), and the "?!" was deliberately there to refer to everyone's defied expectations.

Or it's just meant to denote that it's not the only character reveal to come in the trailer

I can't process all of this. I still think Shulk and Chorus Kids are coming and that Sal's source is legitimate, but obviously something's up.

Well the game's 60 days from release in Japan. Sakurai wants the remaining characters to be a surprise so he made this video to directly cast doubt on the gematsu leak. We'll find out how accurate the leak is in 2 months. Personally I still think Shulk and Chorus Kids are in the game. But as we've seen, anything can change.

That's how I took it. Or like "Lucina instead of Chrom?!" It could also be that she's barely stepping into battle, because Falcon was beating her down.

I will say there's a lot more potential mains this time around than in Brawl.

For me, Brawl had: Snake, Pit, and Toon Link for newcomers I was interested in maining.

Smash 4 has got: Palutena, Rosalina, Robin, Little Mac, Greeninja, Villager and Megaman that I'm all interested in learning, which is pretty awesome.

I, for one, I'm really digging this new roster. The only thing that can make it perfect is to add Snake back in and put in Ridley. Which is totally happening, by the way.

All of the 3 leaks have gotten too many things right for it too be fake, I just assume the leaker didn't have complete information.

It's sort of common I guess, like how the leak that mentioned Fairy types for X and Y got it right that it was immune to dragon and weak to steel, but got wrong that it resisted psychic.

The only weird thing about the leak now is that Chrom is not in, which is the first character out of the leak that seems to be wrong (yet has an in-game model). The leaker has gotten lot of stuff right, with the timing of reveals usually being what has been wrong consistently.
 

I'M FINISHED!

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Yay! Smashy smashy!

Her chances are probably better than Syrup's though. It's pretty strange that we still do not have Wario yet but who knows what Sakurai has up his sleeves.
I'd be cool with Mona or Syrup. I just want another Wario rep, and Mona, Syrup, 9-Volt, and Jimmy make the most sense to me. If Ashley became playable before either the pirate or pizza girl though, I would be speechless, in the bad way.

Yeah we're definitely getting a Chrom alt. I wonder for who?

He looks funny as shit here by the way for some reason. Also I think Lucina looks better on the 3DS version.
 
I swear if it turns out that Sakurai was feeding Sal what to leak, or if Sakurai turns out to be Sal himself, this is going to go down in the history books somewhere, presumably one that lists effective viral marketing campaigns.
