Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XIII: Leak Dynasty

Nice post! Very well thought-out. (BTW, Neiteio, you accidentally left your computer logged into your alt again.)
Was going for the texture edit look rather than adding extra polygons.
Alright guys, obviously anything could change, but if this is indeed our final list of newcomers:
How do you feel Smash 4 did with it's newcomer selection? I made this picture so you try and think of the newcomers as a whole, not just the ones leaked.
Me personally? A few missed opportunities aside, fucking stoked. 15 new fighters is nothing to scoff regardless of clones, and you could even bump that number to 17 if you count the Mii Fighter as 3 different characters.
I hate Lucina, Robin, and Dark Pit. I dislike Villager, Shulk (Xenoblade is great, but Shulk was terrible), and the Miis. The rest range from OK to great (Barring DHD since we don't have any footage of him)
Overall I'm not very happy with the roster since this is the first Smash where I can honestly say I hate a newcomer that isn't a clone.
I wish I knew why Sakurai seems to hate Metroid and DK.
Who says it's final?

I'm just the opposite. I'm okay with everyone being on the roster (even pittoo!) except doc mario.
It probably will have iggy's glasses and morton's sunglasses on it, it's not as if extra polygon alt colours are new considering Pikachu and Jiggly (and obviously Bowser Jr. now haha).

Yeah, Sakurai's probably pissed, but I'm sure he was prepared for this. He must know by this point that you can't keep any secrets for long, especially not with a high-profile game like this. The best thing for him to do, I think, is just ignore it: post the PotDs and reveal characters like normal, without showing any signs of ruffled feathers. Sometimes, refusing to give any attention or show any signs of anger is the best way to neutralize something like this. He can't stop the leak from happening, but perhaps he can weaken it by not giving people anything more to talk about on the subject.

8 new series are being repped with a playable characters. That's amazing if you ask me. Just goes to show how deep Nintendo's libray is. Also love the mix of classic and newer characters.
Kid Icarus Uprising is also one of my favorite games of all time, so seeing two new reps along with a revamped Pit means I just can't hate it no matter what.
I'm assuming as the ESRB requires all content, even locked content to be fully disclosed.
Especially considering how much it seems like he enjoys the marketing (or rather the revealing of info a little at a time).
I'm sure he was expecting it though. Maybe not quite this soon. But it isn't the world's end.

Dark Pit is a bafflingly terrible choice. The lack of Ridley would be equally bizarre. Aside from that it's a pretty good batch.
So apparently the leaker is in Brazil due to the monitor being a Brazilian brand, all I can say is
The Nintendo Ninjas are already at his house.
Hope he gets what's coming to him. I hate leakers, ruins the livelihood of people with JOBS!
Ninten for Ness alt?

They don't unless it's pertinent to the rating.
Not nearly narrowed down enough, especially if this isn't even by the ESRB dude but someone he sent stuff to.

Yeah, Dark Pit just reminds me how dumb it was to make Cole and Evil Cole.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
On one hand, I feel for Sakurai wanting to have surprises.
On the other hand, we have to wait an extra month for the game so it didn't really matter, anyway.
So ¯\_(ツ_/¯
I do feel bad for Sakurai but again I'm glad that I know most of characters to get it over with.

One good argument against leaks is a normal reveal schedule keeps people from going "GUH I HATE THIS CHARACTER KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT HOW THEY PLAY SAKURAI HOW COULD YOU"
I mean
Not everyone
But more people

They can't possibly send a video with footage of EVERY SINGLE thing in the game, ESRB doesn't have time for that either.
They really only send things that they know/think may affect the rating.
Ice climbers and lucas, for example, would not affect the rating.
Not saying it proves anything, but it doesn't disprove anything either.
Then he'd get his own slot again.
If Lucas was demoted to a Ness alt, his attacks would be exactly the same as Ness's.
I suppose this could be possible, considering the fact that Sakurai was originally planning to do something similar with Marth and Lucina.
Every time I want to say something about the roster, my mind wanders back to Dark Pit and Dr Mario. They're the sort of choices that make me just go "Why." Even if clones don't take much effort, I'd much rather see that effort go into preserving roster classics like Ice Climbers.

So in other words, Snake is definitely cut

I feel it's pretty naive to think, if Ice Climbers have been cut, the sole reason would be a lack of effort.

I'd be more worried about "ESRB0083". How many people do they need to judge a single game? It's either a small team of people or a single person, I don't think he's going to be hard to track at all.

Yes, exactly, unless he's DLC and rated separately (which strikes me as unlikely). (Pious Augustus is looking unlikely, too.)

DLC can be submitted at a later date. Let them dream.
I see those as "not enough time to add another characters, here to quickly fill the remaining slot so the CSS looks good"
Not applying to Lucina as she was requested, more than Chrom in Japan.
Dr. Mario represents an NES game / series that was more popular than Ice Climbers.
But it's not as if they thought "Hmm, we could add a completely unique character that would take a long time to implement and debug due to how different it is to other characters, or we could add a clone of Mario".
There wasn't a choice between a clone and a unique character, they're not the same proposition.
I meant Lucas moves could appear as custom moves for Ness.

If the DLC thing is true, then the DLC characters development probably havent started yet..
They were one of the most unique characters in the game.
Them possibly being cut from the game for both versions because of the 3DS is a legitimate reason to be upset especially if they are a person's main character. It's pretty obvious for all to see now that the 3DS version did impose limitations on the game in some fairly serious ways despite what some said early on, first with Olimar's decreased Pikmin count and now the possibility of the Ice Climbers being removed completely.
Also just because the smash parties you go to dislike the Ice Climbers is justification for them being cut?, if anything it sounds like no one in those smash parties can use the Ice Climbers well to begin with.

You all nonsnake fans just love rubbing that salt in.

Nevermind.
Thanks!
I largely disagree. Dark Pit is his own character in the series. He also plays really similar to Pit, and thus is an easy clone to make. His appearance is cool for people who like Uprising, and is relatively a low-effort thing for the dev team to do.
Evil Cole is not a clone. He was not as easy to make. He also isn't his own character. He's actually the same dude, just making different choices. In fact, inFamous's big draw is that choice-based gameplay. Why not incorporate that into the moveset? Why not start with weak Fire/Ice moves, and as you use more of one or the other, they get stronger? That'd be a great way to incorporate a feature from his series into his character and to make him standout from the rest of the cast. But instead they went the lazy route and just split them up.

Which could mean mean nothing for snake.
Nothing has been presented that he was the cause for a T rating aside from pure speculation.
