The leak, DLC and 'missing 5' combined:

The icons are still what really bother me with this leak, it's why I moved around some characters here and there.

If impa is what I think she is (stronger sheik clone), I'd throw her down into the 'clone corner'

 

[Ryce]

Also guys, Dark Pit has just appeared in some fashion in Famitsu. Not translated yet, but this could be a big thing.

What?!

 

[MisterWisp]

So we (GameXplain) have been getting nonstop requests from fans for the past day to do a discussion on the possible leaks, and it's up now. I know there are a few GameXplain fans here, so here's the link for ya'll!

Unfortunately it's just me and Derrick with a special guest, though, as Andre is out of town. I'd love to get his reaction on all this too!

Just finished watching it! Very compelling and convincing arguments from all 3 of you guys

The leak, DLC and 'missing 5' combined:

oh my gahd. that'd be the perfect roster.
Although I'd be satisfied with the roster of any one of those 4 mock-up images you made.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Clearly, Bowser Junior was not in Mario Kart 8 because he was too busy getting prepped for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Still #TeamReal

Replace Ridley with Anthony Higgs and Lucario with Pichu Bros. and you have yourself a roster.

notes:

• finally have a full top 50; on this note, it is in theory possible that someone averaged 93 posts per thread without going over 100, thus making this list despite not being tracked, but I highly doubt it

The original plus the supposed DLC additions:

God, this is beautiful. The perfect roster for me... I don't even need the "missing five" from the corroborating leak. Just give me the "DLC five" and I'm as happy a camper as happy can be.

Can someone make a Wii U CSS mockup with this roster?

 

[georly]

I still haven't made any verdict.

If we get firm corroborating evidence I'm on board, but I still carry quite a bit of doubt.



And neither Bowser jr. nor the Koopalngs show up in 3D world.

I forgot to add the 3D Land/World games, I apologize. You are correct. Doesn't make them any less relevant, though. We *ARE* getting a NSMBU stage after all.

I agree. As long as Ice climbers aren't cut, i'll be really happy w/ the leaked roster. If snake is in I'll be ECSTATIC!

 

[SenorArdilla]

• Mario Sunshine
• NSMB (DS) - boss of EVERY TOWER
• Mario Galaxy - boss several times
• NSMB Wii - Starts using clown car!
• Mario Galaxy 2 - boss several times
• NSMB U - boss in clown car during airship segments. Gains torpedos/boxing gloves

So... basically every super mario game since sunshine... except NSMB2.

I love the idea of a clown car playable character. I could care less who is in it. Ever since Super Mario World, I've always thought it was really cool for some reason. If it plays well, he might be my second main (second to one of the links!)

Are you counting the RPGs?

Replace Ridley with Anthony Higgs and Lucario with Pichu Bros. and you have yourself a roster.

Spoiler

Why?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Also guys, Dark Pit has just appeared in some fashion in Famitsu. Not translated yet, but this could be a big thing.

It all comes to an end

 

[Village]

I never liked Bowser Jr. himself, but he's definitely deserving. He was in the Galaxy games. He was in the last four NSMB titles. That's a pretty impressive résumé.

And when he fights in this:

You have a lot of interesting potential. He could drill into opponents with the propeller bounce. He could lob Bob-ombs and Mecha-Koopas, fire Bullet Bills and Torpedo Teds, and drop Big Steelies. He could punch with the extend-o-arms, and use items, as well. The facial expression on the Clown Car can change when hit, etc.

His Final Smash could be dropping Big Steelies like the end of Super Mario World, or calling in Mecha-Bowser from Super Mario Sunshine, or Mega Hammer from Super Mario Galaxy 2. Heck, if they wanted to get really obscure, they could even use one of the mechs from Yoshi Safari on the SNES:

Then consider the fact that the original Smashboards rumor from a month ago said all of the Koopalings would be selectable as alts. The hit-boxes stay the same since the main fighter is the Clown Car. It'd just require slight new animations from the waist up to reflect the new pilot in control.

It's just a fun concept. I hope this all turns out to be real.

Or...

or the paint brush.

 

[-Horizon-]

That's right. I remember him in the Galaxies now. I guess he's just not that memorable to me.

Oh, yes, they could do something with that, as well. We do see the Clown Car in the leak, but he could still have his paintbrush, as well. Would go nicely with Mario's FLUDD.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

I would rather have jr use the paint brush.

Yeah, the paintbrush is too important to his character not to use, but centering his moveset on the Clown Copter would make him a more unique addition. The paintbrush could be his FS; he's used it for "super moves" in other Mario spinoffs, after all.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Someone get on this pronto!

 

[Durden77]

What?!

Over on GameFAQs someone's got proof of a Famitsu (I think Famitsu?) page that focuses on Captian Falcon and Palutena, and it has a little bubble about Dark Pit, but no one has translated it yet.

Could be anything I dunno. Also, the stuff Neito posted got me excited about Bower Jr. Especially if you can be any Koopaling. I've always loved the Koop klown kar so that got me pumped.

 

[georly]

Are you counting the RPGs?

Well, I forgot Mario 3D world and 3D land, but no, I don't count the RPGs because they're not 'Super Mario' games.

Even super paper mario isn't a "Super Mario" game, despite having 'Super' in the title.

 

[Kriken]

Someone flash the Masked Man signal!

I would rather his entire moveset be around the paint brush.

The clown car was his dad's. The paint brush, while stolen probably is his.

 

[Darth_Caedus]

I'm hoping it's not real because of Dark Pit and Dr. Mario. Two waste of space clones. Especially since they can easily be alternate costumes. If Kid Icarus gets more reps than Metroid I will face palm.

 

[Starphoenix]

The leak, DLC and 'missing 5' combined:

As fantastic as that would be, 59 characters -- 61 of you count the separate Mii Fighters -- alongside a host of custom moves just screams overly-hopeful.

 

[Pikma]

What? When did this happen?! NEED DETAILS.

Yeah, what the hell is it about?!

 

[PadWarrior]

Durden my friend where?

 

[BY2K]

Apparently, translation of the Famitsu scans reveals that Meta Knight has a goddamn shield breaker, now.

Read it as 'mega man signal'

 

[GamerSoul]

That would be one large roster guys :0 i mean shit.

 

[Juansho]

God tier.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I bet that "Dark Pit" thing is that old shot of Pit hit by Robin's Nosferatu that everyone thought was his Dark Pit Alt.

I've seen the Famitsu Scans and it was Pac-Man, Villager, and Tomodachi/Paper Mario Stage.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Sakurai, announce anything tonight to debunk this madness.

How can he, when the leak is true?

 

[Galang]

Made a few mockups of the 'leak'.

The leak, DLC and 'missing 5' combined:

This would actually be perfect.

 

[rekameohs]

Or...

or the paint brush.

Yeah, a character in a vehicle is way too original. Let's have yet another melee weapon user.

That famitsu issue is old, and already been translated. You have been trolled.

Edit: Or I've been trolled. Just saw the scans, this is different from what have already been translated.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Apparently, translation of the Famitsu scans reveals that Meta Knight has a goddamn shield breaker, now.

Yeah, it's one of his side special customs. The downside seems to be that it's slower and less powerful

Spoiler

MK will still be OP tho

 

[Fiktion]

The original plus the supposed missing 5 the SmashBoards mod is claiming:

Wait, someone is claiming Impa is in?

I need the Missing 5 and the DLC to be satisfied with this roster.

 

[Caladrius]

Quoi? Can someone PM me with more information? I saw the most recent Famitsu, but I didn't see Dark Pit anywhere...

 

[PadWarrior]

Thanks for the clarification.
And Meta Knight with a shield breaker?

 

[Village]

Yeah, a character in a vehicle is way too original. Let's have yet another melee weapon user.

Yes.

I think the paint brush thing would be cooler than the dumb car.

I don't really give two shits about how man weapon users are in the game so, your point falls on deaf ears. I want the brush.

 

[Durden77]

Apparently a GameFAQs user gave the rough translation as..

"Some characters will appear secret. How will they come? It's up to you, can you battle them?"

If this is what it actually says....everything might explode right now.

Sakurai - what you guys wanted him nerfed ? I thought you said buffed.

Dark Pit was just a tease. The article were discussing about Dark Pit, so we are on same page as usual.
