I'm going to miss all of the fun speculation, but I guess the game does have an actual date when it has to get released.

I hope Shulk's in.

And Rayman.
 
This is why I haven't commented on any leaks, or even speculated about anything this time around.

That really sucks. Speculating and arguing with other fans is half the fun. I'm sure the bullcrap outweighs the fun in your case, though.

Am I remembering correctly that you were told the Poke roster for Melee, denying any rumors that didn't include Mewtwo or whatnot? I was considerably young back then so I may be botching my memory, but I'm wondering why this guy would have even listed you as his source when you're more in the know of everything Pokemon.

Regardless, must have been annoying as hell to watch all this go down and not be able to post. Seems most users here called the BS for what it was though.

I'll still keep my eye out, though, just in case :) However, only trust things when I specifically say it, never accept second hand statements.

Na, I'm fine with it. It's nice to know that people trust me so much that my word is accepted. I do put disclaimers in the Smash thread when I'm speculating, though.

I like this. Let's get the starting lineup out of the way, so that we can establish how the characters work next without the vague mystery of a trailer around it.
 
To be honest? Thank fucking God. I'm tired.
And we can still speculate about WiiU's stages anyway.

Is this confirmed though? 100% sure?

Is Shulk just an educated guess that's gone mad here, or is there genuine reason to believe?

I don't mind who's on the roster as long as there are no more fucking Fire Emblem characters.
 
Well Chrom is a final smash so my bet is still on Gematsu...

...also iirc 5 characters from Melee were cut out of Brawl so I have a hunch we're not gonna have less characters cut this time.
 
Oh. Who debunked it? What else was in it?
Leaks supposed to be from early in development

1st Gematsu leak- post on GAF day before E3- Wii Fit Trainer, Mii, MegaMan, PacMan, Little Mac, Villager

2nd Gematsu Leak- day before direct- Shulk, Chrom, Palutena, Chorus Men, Pokemon From X/Y

3rd Gematsu Leak- day before E3- calls Mii Mii Fighter, Lucas is fighting for his life

4th Gematsu Leak- Shulk to be shown Monday (Update to this one: Sakurai changes his mind a bunch, Namco-Bandai can't predict reall, but Shulk for sure on Monday)

I still think parts of it are true though, 8/11 is too good of a record

With Greninja, Sakurai mentioned at E314 that going into SSB4, the game had an open slot for an X/Y Pokemon, so who knows how/who is giving the info and what part of the character development was known at the time.

I like to think Sakurai told the Xenoblade guy to retweet, so we can assume Shulk from the leak was gonna be revealed just so he can go "ta-dah it's not Shulk and lol Chrom" :p

Shulk should really be in Smash, to reinforce the perception of "Monolith's X series" as one of the new pillars of Nintendo first party offer

I think people shouldn't get carried away, it might just be a guide about characters already revealed.

The first post and title are way too misleading.
 
I'm already happy with the current roster. People seem to forget just how beastly it is. I mean... Mega Man, Little Mac, Rosalina... What ground didn't Sakurai cover? He paid tributes to most of the recent 3DS hits but left most of the relevant vets in, with more to be confirmed, I'm sure.

Oh, I know what's missing. It's Shulk. Please Sakurai baby, don't toy with my heart
