A friend of mine checked his public Facebook account and his style of writing is similar to what he wrote in his snap leak of the pic.

It's real guys

Monster Hunter most definitely will be top of the line for DLC if that 4chan leak with the cuts is right. Because MonHun was getting worked on, meaning there's already a base to go from, and it's MonHun. People would go crazy over it.
Honestly that leak with saying Monster Hunter was cut is wild to me. Like how could you get the rights to a third party and not finish it?

Is anyone here in #TeamRealButNotFinalRoster? Having no new Pokémon is kinda weird, but at the same time there's so many newcomers in this leak that is hard to imagine more lol.
Pokemon as DLC actually seems like easy guaranteed DLC sales that could reasonably sell more copies of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if Mewtwo performed exceptionally well last time and with the return of Squirtle/Ivysaur/Pichu that kinda fills the void in the base roster.

Looking at that arm band, you can't really see the ground. Leading me to even more believe that Nintendo couldn't care less about the shadows for this particular project and so they didn't bother.

This feels like the pattern taken by the August direct. We got nothing in July only to get a massive info dump the next month. We get one char in September and nothing in October (so far) only to get a humongous info dump in November. I'm getting goosebumps.

Thinking more about it. What if the image is intentionally blurry to try to cover his ass but just like his lazy ass censoring of his name it just didn't work?

There could be a number of reasons. We don't know the details of Capcom's contract with Nintendo. For all we know they gave Nintendo a blanket access to all of their properties. Or maybe they decided to keep MonHun as DLC knowing it would sell like hotcakes (which isn't a Sakurai thing to do, but who knows the details).

No Pokemon in the base roster makes sense when, outside of Inkling (who's too big to skip) and Isabelle (who's a semi-clone), all of the new characters are old fan favorites (Ridley, K. Rool, Isaac, Banjo) and obscure weirdos (Chorus Kids, Mach Rider, Geno).

New Pokemon, new Fire Emblem, ARMS, Xenoblade - "relevant" and way more lucrative as DLC, I think than, more niche stuff. Even the third parties are pretty low-key, just Echoes, Simon, and Geno. Saving Monster Hunter and Sora/Erdrick/Whoever for DLC is a much smarter bet.

No Felix echo is kind of odd, though

If Isaac got in, I was expecting Felix to pop up as an echo.
I can think of a lot of echoes that should've or could've made it. Birdo on Yoshi, Dry Bowser for Bowser, Blood Falcon on Capt Falcon, Big boss on Snake ect.

Tbh when echoes were announced I thought it'd be an easy way to push the roster close to 100 characters. The way theyve gone about picking them is both obvious yet bizarre to me. I'm assuming if they had a more development time characters like Felix would eventually get in. But regardless, I thought the echoes thing would get more padded out than it eventually did.

Where the fuck is Ms. Pac Man indeed. I suspect it's because Ms. Pac Man had a weird hack job history and wasn't even developed properly. I can't remember the details but Ms.Pac Man was a thrown together thing on top of a hacked Pac Man game. I'll try to find a link for more. I remember Bloodworth of the Easy Allies talking about it sometime.

Annnnywaaaay Shadow and Ken are just too easy of pallette swaps so I get that including them to pad out a roster is almost a no brainier. Which is why I wish Ms.Pacman was there too. But I digress .

I love Genos design and Mario RPG so I'm one of those gratuitous fanboy picks you mentioned lol. But yeah Isaac and him polling well is must giving the fans what they want.

Ms. Pacman's weird ass history just makes her more interesting IMO. She was a weird feminist icon when she debuted too. And most people like her games better than Pac Man. As an easy echo, she seems worthy of a slot.

And you're not a grauitous fanboy pick. You're just a fanboy. You like what you like. Can't begrudge it.

I'm a Birdo fangirl. Birdo is more relevant than Geno, even. Do I think Birdo is an inevitable pick that deserves a slot? Fuck no. I hope and dream, but know she's got no chance. Your guy has a chance ONLY because a certain loud portion of the fanbase has been on about him. If geno gets init will be solely on the shoulders of that fact alone. That is what makes him (not you) gratuitous fanservice.

And unlike K.Rool, who is a longstanding villain of a bestselling game from Nintendo's history, nobody knows who the fuck Geno even is outside of his fanbase and a small selection of olds like me who happened to be one of the few to have played his game when it came out. And despite loving that game, I still can't name a single defining feature of Geno's personality. He had great offense and was super useful in a boss fight. That's why people like that wooden-ass puppet.

Even without this leak, I think MonHun DLC is likely just because of Rathalos and the stage.

Honestly it might be for the better for the leak to not be spread out much. Non believers would get a nice surprise and if the Direct is soon we could talk about how cool these characters could potentially be. Win Win.

Lol! He was on my main team in Mario RPG no doubt. I guess I remember him more for his game play than any single line of his dialog, that's for damn sure.

For what it's worth, Birdo absolutely should've had a better representation in Smash other than a random stage hazard. I feel ya there.
