The only right choice.

I got my Palutena reveal. The rest of the roster after her is irreverent to me.
Bolded was intentional, right? Some kind of inside joke I don't get?
If not, it's "irrelevant".

I just can't accept leaks with Snake Cut with no return into my heart.

Is he high as well?
This exactly what I thought. Icon looks legit, added "render" does not.

He obviously worded it as a question instead of a statement to avoid getting banned.
Was pretty weird and surprising lol. He even made it pretty far.
Not sure if typo or intentional goddess pun thing...I got my Palutena reveal. The rest of the roster after her is irreverent to me.
I'm just poking fun at your tag
Now then, back to something a little less sane *Reads fanfic*
But Wolf and Toon Link weren't just bolted onto the select screen -- Wolf was after Falco and Toon Link was after Ganondorf. Sakurai has a good sense of aestheticism, and this select screen layout is baffling/ugly for a number of reasons.

Someone randomly posted it on a /v/ thread right as it was dying, and didn't say anything else.

The more this leak looks real the more my heart hurts from no Ice Climbers. T_T
Oh shit.
I mean his ears are zig-zaggy almost like Pikachu's tail
The zig-zaggy effect is one of the dog's signature things. It just looks terrible in the actual render, both in the leak and the "clean" image.
Have to admit that the body shading on the clean image is convincingly identical to the original leak.

especially when they get cut for the likes of Dr Mario and Dark pit.
From Namco Bandai's design team, obviously. Kappa
It's some third party drawing over the leak to create a fake of a potential fake to disprove it.
It happened with pokemon as well, people "owning up" to creating fakes that ended up being real.
Harmonic Ears at its best
These were just posted on /v/. Seem to be cleaner versions of the Duck Hunt Dog render.

Doing a reverse-image-search on Google turns up absolutely nothing for those dog images! I think they're fabricated to discredit the leak. It's no evidence in either direction.
Unless someone coughs up a source, they don't mean a thing.
I am almost certain that this isn't the original artwork. People do this all the time when a "leak" happens to try and disprove it. See the "Look, I have Palutena's model and everything" fake confession.

Unless you see the original artwork posted somewhere before the "leak" happened, you should consider something like this fake, especially if it's posted on an anonymous site like 4chan.

Indeed, hopefully that DLC info is true or else I'm going to be crying in a corner for a long time.

I'm pretty sure Sakurai's wife is the one behind all the UI design

As in "Heathcliff"

The Dog is like, Welp, Please kill me.
Ask the people to post the link to the Deviantart page. If they don't have a link to the original page (With a posting date on that page earlier than August 18), we can consider that claim bullshit.

Man, I don't even like Bowser Jr., but even if he doesn't the superior Koopalings as alts, I'd take him in a nanosecond if it meant we'd get Duck Hunt Dog.

Wolf and Toon Link were very much bolted on at the tail end of development, as became clear due to their unusual unlock conditions.
I'm saying that throwing some quick clone characters in a corner at the end of development is a very sakurai play.

420 Blaze it.
Not with risk of embedded youtube videos and gifs lol.
4chan's video games board. It's a shithole (Even by 4chan standards; you're better off in /vg/ any day), but it's also where the "leaks" occurred.
Yes, but that wasn't reflected on the select screen. SSB64, Melee, and Brawl all had sensible character layouts. Series weren't broken up and scattered around the screen.

That DHD pic is utterly irrelevant. How would someone whose source is footage of the game given to the ESRB have access to a clean render?
This is like when that guy posted "proof" that he faked the Palutena pic, which itself turned out to be faked.

Yeah, he's got some funky eyes going on. Him and the duck, it almost looks like... bedroom eyes.
Creepy dog.

My biggest problem with these leaks/fakes is that Dr. Mario and Dark Pit have a slot and that Ice Climbers have none.
Ice Climbers appear in only one game and it was released in 1985. Sakurai brought them back from Nintendo's graveyard with Melee. Since then, they became more popular and their game was re-released on GBA, Wii, 3DS and then Wii U again last year.
Their recent popularity is only based on Smash Bros. At this point, they are more Smash Bros characters than the heroes of their game. Them not being in Smash Bros roster makes no sense to me. The polar bears are even in the Smash Run mode. I don't understand why they'd be cut or proposed as DLC ?
Wolf or Snake, I would understand. They are fan favourites, they have a fan base, why not DLC ? I'm not saying Ice Climbers have no fanbase, but do they have enough fans to make it interesting for Nintendo to ask players to buy them ? I don't know. This does not seem like an obvious choice.
And we have Dark Pit and Dr. Mario. Two slots for what could have been a palette swap and an alt costume. Alt costumes is a thing people have been waiting for for a long time. And Sakurai showed us he heard the fans, Little Mac himself is a great exemple of great and thought-out costumes. Dr. Mario was even cut from Brawl for being too much a Mario clone. And Dark Pit is just a different colored Pit. Even in its own game, he's called a "flawed clone".
I'm not claiming real or fake here. I'm not an Ice Climbers fan either. I'm just pointing out stuff. It's not just the visual aspects of this leak we can discuss. As a matter of fact, I find it very convincing looking and I wouldn't mind Bowser Jr.,the Duck Hunt Dog or Shulk as new characters.
In fact, if Ice Climbers were in and Dark Pit and Dr. Mario were out, I'd jump on the TeamReal train. But I'm TeamLetsSeeWhatHappens, these (imho, poor) roster decisions cast doubt. One the one hand, it seems stupid. On the other hand, the fact that it is a stupid choice makes it believable and not "too good to be true."

If it was on DeviantArt, reverse-searching the image would have turned something up. Not only that, but both are poor quality images, not the sort of thing someone would have posted as art on their account. The compression is terrible. If anything, these look like edits from the leak's material- in other words, fakes to make the leak look fake.
Their recommended games wiki is fairly solid though. But yes, mostly a piece of crap board.
