Here's what I heard.



Supposedly the leaked video and roster are real. The person who posted them belongs to a Smash tourney community, and from what I read they were going to get an early copy of the game. So maybe the reason we haven't gotten spoilers is because they must have signed an NDA promising that while they could have the game they wouldn't be allowed to talk about it till after launch.



...That, or the leakers are massive douchebags.


How convenient, but if there was any kind of NDA it would probably cover all information regarding the game, not just specific parts (it is easier to have a broad cover then to have a pick-and-choose, specific set of criteria), so any info leaked would probably throw him into breach of contract (and if some guys on the internet can find out who the leaker is then you better believe that a multi-billion international corporation can).

This is of course disregarding the fact that a group of fans somehow got a copy more than a week early from Nintendo, who, to my knowledge, is in most cases extremely stingy with review copies, let alone copies for something of this nature.

I am sorry, I just do not find any of these leaks credible at all, least of which that video... oh, now videos. Yeah, that screen could not be faked at all (I am assuming that this is from the same guy, because the all knowing internet said that it was).

Well, none of this will matter in a few days anyway, cheers .

From the looks of things they might be tourney players. Not only did they pick the same characters they picked the basic level and barely used items.

Speaking of tourney players this comic pretty much nails how tourney players are like.

And you are correct sir.  The people that were playing in those video's are well known Japanese Smash Bros tournament players.

Even though it annoyed me that wouldn't play in any of the other stages except that one on Eldin Bridge the video's were really nice.  We finally got to really see King Dedede in action and he looks to be a great player.  Actually ALL the Kirby characters look to be really good in this game, which shouldn't be too surprising.  Since Sakurai is no longer a Nintendo employee I'm sure he doesn't care about being accused of playing favorites this time.

Oh and here's another video that finally shows Pokemon Trainer in action.  Charizard looks like a great character which is very nice to see.

Speaking of leaked lists IGN has paid attention to them and made a list of some of the more prominent characters.

They list Pokey, Black Shadow, Alice the balloon kid, Hector from Fire Emblem and R.O.B.

If Pokey's in the game as a playable character Sakurai will have gained a dangerous enemy in the form of a big, hairy Italian.

Black Shadow from F-Zero would make sense as he's the closest thing to a villain the F-Zero has ever had. Since Goroh is out of the question and Blood Falcon is an alternate color for Falcon Black Shadow is the next best thing.

In all honesty while I would welcome the Balloon Fighter (as he would add another franchise to the series as well as an unique fighter) I wouldn't want the fighter to be Alice. She just looks so weird...Plus, the original BF design is more classic and iconic. On the plus side, though, it would add a female character to the roster.

I never played any of the FE games (I only saw SB play Path of Radiance), but Hector would make for a nice addition. We got sword users and hammer users so having an axe user would be a nice change of pace.

Finally, even though it might be out of the question R.O.B could indeed be in the game as both an enemy and a playable character. First, Brawl doesn't have that "WTF" character like Mr. Game and Watch was in Melee so R.O.B could fill that position easily. Second, just like with Tingle and Petey Piranha Nintendo seems to have a fascination with this character. He may have nostalgia appeal but if I'm not mistaken only a couple of games used him and he was a slow and clunky peripheral. But despite that fans and Nintendo love the little guy so don't be all that surprised if he's in the final game.

Meh... my interest in ROB has more or less passed, personally. The nod in Star Fox 64 was cool, as was the cameo in F-Zero GX. Him being playable in the latest Mario Kart was a definite "WTF" choice... however, would it be so another time? In all honesty I liked him being obscure and kind of a "wink, wink" cameo type of character. I think his role as a enemy suits him better.

As for a sheer random character... hey, why not Jugger? Even better would be in his "dress" appearance.



Yeah, okay, so Jugger doesn't stand a chance in hell (although I will be quite sad if Advance Wars doesn't get a single playable representative, as the series has earned it). However, I don't think ROB is in, and Nintendo has a rich enough history that if he was going for an off the wall choice Sakurai has many, many options.

I agree with you about R.O.B, but like I said, Nintendo just loves the little guy and Sakurai might be crazy enough to make him both an enemy and a playable character.

So don't be too surprised if he somehow made it in...

It sorta looks like him.

If you can collect his trophy then that means he's out as a playable character (unless that since this is the demo they included his trophy as a collectible trophy for the hell of it).

I've been looking at it over and over and it looks like a Magi Koopa or a penguin from Galaxy to me.  But even if he is only a Trophy that would make me happy. If thats the case then there was defenitly talks with Square Enix, and Geno most likely wouldnt be the only thing we see from them.

Looks like R.O.B list might be the final roster...

Go Nintendo posted a shot of the character select screen with Marth unlocked. He is next to Pikachu, which is EXACTLY how the leakers said it would be...

So, we can kiss Megaman, AC character, Krystal, Ouendan, Ashley, Midna and K.Rool good-bye and hello to R.O.B...

Actually...Brawl central has pics of Luigi and Ness unlocked and the screens are different...In the first pic he is next to Pika, where Marth was.

In the second Ness is near Lucas and both Luigi and Marth are on the left side of the screen!

So are these fake or does the character select screen change around everytime you unlock a character?

I think it is safe to say we'll have a good idea if the R.O.B. roster is real or not come tomorrow.  Also, like Pap, I don't want to spoil the SSE, all I want is the character roster so I can either be:

A) Extremely disappointed and hope Sakurai chokes on a cookie and dies a painful death (Ok well maybe not that extreme! He can choke on a piece of cake as well)

B) Moderately happy with some characters I want like K. Rool and Krystal

C) Super duper happy because MEGA MAN is in it
