"Don't expect too many new fighters"

"lol jk, here have BANJO KAZOOIE"

That's the weirdest part to me. Phil Spencer has been explicitly talking about how he wanted Banjo & Kazooie in the game which you think he wouldn't if they were, and Microsoft and Nintendo only started getting buddy buddy in the last couple years.

I sort of disagree. I love Sakurai, and if this leak is real EVERYONE is in debt to him, but they really should've revealed characters on a more consistent basis, and revealed everything in an October direct to stay ahead of leaks. Didn't he even say they planned to announce every character before launch?

The second Sakurai says "this is the last character (in the base roster)", all character discussion turns to DLC.

"Where's Dixie?"
"REX AND PYRA!!!"
"SORA!!!"

If he did that what would he reveal in November?

copying from the other thread (which I meant to actually post here...)

but I just can't see someone putting this much effort into something so small on the video (the mural)....though I guess it IS possible. For example Isaac doing the grass spell he does to make grass or including the chorus kids conductor or whoever that character is alongside them, along with all of the sensible character movements like the miis being together....just seems so real.

#TeamReal I predicted Mach Rider will be the retro pick (Sakurai has been thinking in a moveset that uses a motorcycle since Melee, he first thought in Excitebiker, then I think he evolve the idea with Wario, but still not to the full potential), last but not least Mach Rider is one of the few retros that since its launch appear in all the regions.

Curious, was looking at Mach Rider and it seems he/she is using the motorcycle.

I can't see anything on the banner. Too blurry.

Regardless if this is real or fake, revealing the roster with just a month left is extremely risky.

Especially since I'm assuming that they were doing this to combat leaks.

People really think Sakurai would let you hid a whole series off the roster which would happen if Mach Rider was a Falcon echo.

Rochester, New York
10 unique fighters, Inklings, Ridley, Simon, K Rool, Isabelle, Geno, Banjo, Chorus Kids, Mach Rider, Isaac
6 echoes, Daisy, Richter, Chrom, Dark Samus, Ken, Shadow

16 newcomers, 1 less than base Smash 4 (17)

Although Smash 4 only had 2 echoes, so less "real" newcomers overall.

Question. Was female Mach Rider ever a concept by Nintendo or was it just a fan thing? Because female Mach Rider even as an alt would be amazing.

Again, there were two separate attempts at fake NX hardware, up to and including 3D printing.

If this doesn't get debunked soon, we'll be heading toward thread 10 today.

Bless this thread for attempting to kill the Vergenofunzone.

Well Conductor was part of the trophy with Chorus Kids (so people assume that Conductor would be part of Chorus Kids' moveset) This leak is fun but I just fear for people's backlashes if it ended up being a fake.

I don't think anyone really thought of the Conductor. Even the fake Chorus Kids leak a while back just had the little shits themselves.

I've been pretty strongly defending it but honestly I won't mind if it turns out it's fake. Frankly the ride has been more than worth it with all the Grinch stuff. If it's all mocked up I want whoever made it to come forward and explain what the deal was with all of that.

This is good. I was initially hoping for an Excitebike Rep instead of Mach Rider mainly because I think the overall design is more iconic and the franchise has a bigger history. But this fanart changed my mind and I really like the character. If the leak turns out to be true I'm hoping for this is an alternate costume.

Are any people still disappointed with this roster? Because god damn.
I will admit I'm sad that Elma didn't make it in especially since they were looking at recent games but Banjo, Chorus Kids, Issac, and Mach Rider more than make up for it and I'll get Rex and Pyra in DLC anyway and maybe Elma too if Monolith get an X2 out soon.
