Same here.

I just went on wikipedia to get some knowledge on Takamaru and this came up on the entry when I looked it up. lol

[Caterkiller]

Stevey's list is a little more believable because its not safe, there are surprises. The first one we've seen plays it way to safe, there are absolutely no "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT" characters.

Why is Sheik in Zelda's portrait when ZSS is not in Smaus's?

- We have not seen Zelda's official character portrait yet.



Why can no one post a picture of the character select screen with one hidden character on it?

- There has to be an easy to get Jigglypuff (if she is not it) like character who would only take like 10 minutes to get.



Why only take a video of everything except actual gameplay?

- this dude has to have a table or tripod to set the camera on, and how hard would it have been to just tape a match?

This is what makes me question it.

Either...

A. It's fake.

B. The guy is being a douche by withholding information.

I don't like either option.

[anubis6789]

He is technically being a douche in both scenarios in my opinion.

ROFL

[Smash_Brother]

Agreed.

But I guess the other option is all he has is a PoS cellphone to take video with.

Doesn't explain why he only takes 4 seconds of video at a time, though.

[Dirk Temporo]

I still don't habeeb it.

Did you just call yourself a prophet?  You discuss video games on the Internet.  Get over yourself.

Looks like legitimate video of the default character list.

EDIT: I missed the previously posted link, ouch.  Well, here it is again since a link per page can't hurt.

[Tanookisuit]

I think it's BS.

1. He could've made this in Flash and grabbed all the sounds and images from the Dojo.

2. The video conveniently cuts out just before the battle.

3. The announcer doesn't say "Pit!"

4. The announcer does say "Fight!", but on the wrong screen (he should say this just before you battle, not on the "Stage 1" screen.

Smells like fake: it was a flash program, hence why it stopped before gameplay.

It's sort of weird how at NeoGAF you have two sources that are sort of at odds...

You have the one guy who's known for his Tekken leaks (the one who has revealed the rumour roster), and then you have the guy who knew that we'd be getting an update last week on the SSE power-ups saying that it's wrong...Both have a lot of posts and "ban-bets" riding on the issue, so it DOES make you wonder if an "incomplete" roster made the rounds...

[Spak-Spang]

It could still be legit.  He could have stopped posting because he is afraid of drawing too much attention.  A leak this big is probably a big deal, and could get him in serious trouble...lose his job, lawsuit, heck possibly even jail time.  Perhaps he did this to show he had it, and to be a dick, but he is still protecting himself some.

Interesting, well I guess we won't no for sure until probably next week.

Well the Tekken guys roaster matches up with what other leakers have said including PORTRAITofRUIN.  PORTRAITofRUIN is someone who correctly leaked a lot of info on the Castlevania game Portrait of Ruin.  So the 35 character count is looking to be the most accurate one right now.

Plus I don't see why anyone has a problem with this list.  Yes 3 Star Fox characters is pushing it and Metroid should have had another character, but other then that it's a great list.  Kirby, Donkey Kong and Mother all have more representation which they didn't get in Melee.  They've added character from 6 new series which is already twice as many as Melee which only had 3 new series represented.  Plus there's the fact that it's looking very likely they'll be no clones either, which means Brawl has the biggest jump in new characters from any Smash Bros series.  The original had 12 characters, while Melee added 7 new and unique characters, while Brawl is looking to add 16 new and unique characters.

Yes it's dissapointing that Sakurai showed most of the Newcomers already and most of the unlockables look to be Veterans but when you add the entire roaster up, it's a very good one that has a lot of variety to it from a lot of different series that aren't Mario, Zelda and Pokemon like Melee had.

Yeah, but that's why it's weird...Why would this other guy be arguing it?  He clearly has more information than the average joe, so it makes you wonder if different rosters ran through the grape vine and one or the other got confused...

[that Baby guy]

If you're going to question the video posted, you need to be fair, and evaluate the solid support it has, too.  For instance, many say it's a flash application, right?  How do you explain the cursor's constant speed when moving, and the direct corners it takes?  It's clearly receiving digital input, likely from the Wii-Remote.  It's likely that a flash application's cursor would be controlled at least by a mouse, or some form of analog input, unlike what we see in the video.

Of course, there's the fact that the earlier leaked picture was taken from a CRT, this leak is from a different kind of TV, so it's likely a different person.  However, both their rosters match up perfectly.  That's strangely coincidental if one of them is fake.

Anyways, there's more, but I forgot it.

The cursor could have been part of the animation itself, and the fact that the cursor moves so roboticly actual damages the credibility of the video more because the it makes it appear that all the cursor was doing was following a predetermined path.

As for what kind of TV is being used I believe that it is a CRT with a convex screen because I see what appears to be glare in the upper left of the screen and a curve on the right side. It could still be the same TV that the fist screen shot of the supposed character select screen.

If it is more than one person doing this, even if they are not connected, they could be continuing this solely for the , I cannot believe I am about to say this, lulz.  

[GoldenPhoenix]

IT would be so funny if the roster was fake and so is the video. Alot of people are going to get mud in their eye.

[Crimm]

I believe no rosters till the game comes out or somebody rips off a strategy guide from a shipment.  Considering the source was Neogaf I wouldn't trust it even if I knew for a fact they had copies of the game.

Personally, I hope Krystal and Midna are not in it.  Damn furries.  Give us Sukapon instead.

[Darkheart]

I just love the name of this thread:

THE GAME HAS BEEN LEAK THE GAME HAS BEEN LEAK~!

There is nothing leaked in this thread at all except perhaps the starting roster which is lame I dont care just tell me the missing characters and I will live in happy land.

[stevey]

I think the video and disk are real but it could alway be just demo disk and nothing new will come.

edit: damn 3 people posted at the same time as me O_O

I wholeheartedly agree.

This is EXACTLY the reason why I wanted spoilers posted everyone with CONCRETE proof. All of this speculating is ruining the game for me.

At this point, I don't care if the secret characters are lame or the best thing EVER, I just want to know what's in the game and be done and just wait to play it in March.
