Topic: Super Smash Bros. for WiiU (& 3DS)

[Ceric]

I think the outfit should be exclusive to the Wii U version, that should boost its sales.

So much so its an alternative for Wii Fit Trainer and Little Mac.

[Enner]

Well, that explains why I never saw that in Zero Mission. Still, that's Samus' outfit in the two previous mainline games so it's weird that Sakurai credits Zero Mission.

This is specifically the Zero Mission shorts and top. The Zero Mission top has a window between the collar bones and breast. Metroid was a leotard and a bikini. Metroid 2 and Super Metroid have bottoms that are practically panties. Metroid Fusion has a zip-up top that doesn't have the window between the collar and breast.




I don't think I should be proud for knowing these things.

[Ceric]

How does that work in Fusion.  I thought the suit had become part of her.

[Enner]

How does that work in Fusion.  I thought the suit had become part of her.

Yeah, and the Metroid DNA has altered her. But it seems after getting the Varia suit back everything is fine for her.

[Adrock]

I don't think I should be proud for knowing these things.

No, be proud. I was too lazy to look it up and I didn't even notice Samus was wearing a different top.

I never really liked the Zero Suit and prefer the vest and shorts. She's a video game character so showing more skin has nothing to do with it. I always found the Zero Suit to not make sense. It's like Nintendo decided that Samus showing her midriff was too risqué so they throw a skin-tight unitard on her. Why is that a better choice?

[Ceric]

I skin tight suit under an armor suit makes more sense then you might realize.  That would be where all the sensor are for a hookup into the more rigid main suit.

Shame disclosure: I find NeoGAF pretty problematic, but as the Smash hype has ramped up, I started checking in on their Smash 4 thread to see the daily updates and monitor leak bullshit.

So checked in tonight when I got home to see if there was a new daily picture, but instead, a hothot possibly/probably fake roster leak! I couldn't resist the fantasy of viewing:

Nothing is wrong with NeoGAF. Now gamefaqs...

Regardless, I don't see Wolf so it must be fake. :

[azeke]

This pic has been doing rounds for two days on 4chan.

What makes it suspicious for me is that Duck Hunt dog is not named by his official name. Though i don't really care either way.

I never understood the fuss about character roster in Smash games.

Regardless, I don't see Wolf so it must be fake. :

Technically, according to this supposed leaker, Wolf, Lucas, Ice Climbers, Snake and the Chorus Men will be DLC characters.  Someone on Neo Gaf actually took the supposed leaked roster screen shot and edited it to include the supposed DLC characters and where they would fit on the select screen and the final result works really well.





Now I'm not saying it's real but if it is fake, then whoever made it sure did a good job since some of these character models have never been seen before.  Of course the nice thing about this is since this roster including all these characters models, as soon as Sakurai reveals another character we'll know if it's fake or not.  If a character that hasn't been revealed yet looks exactly like how this supposed leak shows them, that means the whole things real and if they don't, it means the whole things false.

[Triforce Hermit]

I'm going to assume its fake. I don't see the possibility of the Ice Climbers being DLC characters.

[Shaymin]

Fake because Snake.

[Adrock]

The original image looks horribly disorganized. Characters have been grouped by series in previous games in the series. Also, it looks like Dark Pit is just Pit mirrored (and has his hair colored black). Not sure I buy Dr. Mario returning as an entire character slot (seems perfect as a costume). On a related note, the entire top row being filled by Mario characters would be ridiculous. Add Bowser Jr. and not Dixie Kong? Ew.

On a personal note, I'd also rather see Medusa than the Duck Hunt Dog though I'm curious to see how a dog that only picked up ducks and laughed at you could be a playable character. I don't doubt it can be done considering some of the other choices in the past. I almost want that to be true just see it.

[Khushrenada]

Bowser Jr? Please be fake!

[Stratos]

Duck Hunt Dog could be fun.

Of course the nice thing about this is since this roster including all these characters models, as soon as Sakurai reveals another character we'll know if it's fake or not.  If a character that hasn't been revealed yet looks exactly like how this supposed leak shows them, that means the whole things real and if they don't, it means the whole things false.

Knowing Sakurai, if this is a real leak he will change the look of the character poses on the select screen to keep us guessing when the next reveal happens.

[MagicCow64]

I was more skeptical last night, but today I'm leaning toward believing the leak. As was said, apparently the leaker would have had to come up with a number of professional-looking fake renders, along with a pretty believable update to the Duck Hunt Dog design.

Also, I find the existence of Dr. Mario and Dark Pit to actually lend credence to the leak. There was always going to be something questionable about the final roster, and reviving Dr. Mario as a full slot and adding a third Kid Icarus character seems right in line with Wolf being the final character in Brawl.

Plus Bowser Jr. does make sense as a character, I actually would have put money on him getting in ahead of Rosalina. I would have assumed as a lighter, speedier Bowser clone though . . .

[Soren]

That's a fake.

[Nile Boogie Returns]

put me down for fake as well

[MagicCow64]

More robust evidence:




And here's what looks like a potential smoking gun of verification, involving a scan from Famitsu that came out today:

[Khushrenada]

Well, I believe. Maybe it will be fun to beat up Bowser Jr. but I'd have preferred many characters ahead of him. Still, bring on the Duck Hunt Dog. What can he do?

[Mop it up]

I think it's more likely to be real now, but I still call everything fake until proven otherwise. I've seen some pretty convincing fakes, and so it wouldn't surprise me at all if someone created a few new graphics for this leak.

I would try to point out how the select screen looks kind of messy as a reason it's fake, but, thinking back to when the 3DS menu was shown... that menu is sloppy too and I'd call it fake if I didn't know better. Plus, the remaining character choices are not surprising at all, something else that lends credence to it.

[Stratos]

Duck Hunt Dog will be my new main!

[Ceric]

If duck hunt dog is in there I would want a a way too summon the duck in for a fight that would be a grapple and launch to competitors.

[Oblivion]

Duck Hunt Dog will be the lamest addition to the series in SSB history, if true.

[nickmitch]

No Professor Layton? Fake.
