A Whole New Roster Leak

[dcmjlive]

OK...this is from Smash Boards. There's this Japanese guy named 2Chan who got his Brawl Copy presumably early. Here's his picture proof:

And with that, he took a picture of the starting roster as well...here's the picture proof:

So, I think these pictures SEEM pretty legitimate. But here's a shocker, the same guy posted again and here's what he has to say:

"message detail I will admit. I have no credibility whatsover on my own part because I will not reveal my source. However, I will tell you what I know to be correct. The "rows" indicate each row in the character select screen. The characters go from left to right on each row.

Row 1

Mario
DK
Link
Samus
Kirby
Fox
Pikachu
Marth
Mr. Game & Watch

Row 2

Luigi
Diddy Kong
Zelda
Pit
Meta Knight
Falco
Pokemon Trainer
Ike
Snake

Row 3

Peach
Yoshi
Ganondorf
Ice Climbers
King Dedede
Lucario
Ness
Sonic
Bowser

Row 4

Wario
Toon Link
R.O.B. (star fox)
Captain Olimar
Captain Falcon
Lucas
Wolf
Jigglypuff"

There you have it folks. This is the complete roster for SSBB according to the leak. Now this one takes the cake as it's the most believable one of them all. He admits he has no credibility whatsoever and makes you think twice that maybe he is telling the truth. Now here's a photo mock-up of the roster. I repeat, it's only a photo mock-up. It is not the real picture of the real thing.

However, I'm thinking this is fake as well. Because I am expecting Krystal to be here. The full roster seems fake but the game screen and disc seem real. Well, you guys be the judge.

R.O.B. (star fox)

Now here's a photo mock-up of the roster. I repeat, it's only a photo mock-up. It is not the real picture of the real thing.

you drew the wrong ROB . that's not what ROB looks like .

[dcmjlive]

Oh...that mock up wasn't made by me. HAHA. I know that's wrong. I just used it as a placeholder. WHEE. Found it on the net...wikipedia discussions actually.

[RockyRaccoon]

looks like we're dealing with some real genius here .

[dcmjlive]

well...for those wondering who ROB 64 is...the one from star fox...it's this robot:

[CHaDOS]

The only reason fakes seem more credible is because we get closer and closer and get more and more actual confirmations.

Maybe that is the starting screen, but I think he's making educated guesses as to the unlockables based on the final column position as in the mock-up

That's exactly what I was thinking with the educated guesses. But it's sort of weird that rob 64 was included.

[RockyRaccoon]

if the game comes out in a week , then you can expect a bunch of lops trying to make wild guesses in order to chase the small chance that they'll guess right and get "internet famous" or something .

better to just wait and get some real information when it becomes available .

R.O.B!?!?! WTF!?!?! I do not beleve this roster.

[B-Bot]

I guess ROB would be a WTF character but there are soooo many more that deserve it much more.....so I think (and hope) its fake

I don't only hope but think it's fake. The roster seems too small and some other characters deserve to be in, like Krystal.

[Totter]

I feel like there would be an additional third party character.  Nintendo keeps bragging that they've "collected the best characters from many different games" and while that certainly means their own characters you know they have more third party surprises than just Sonic and Snake.  Plus this guy doesn't say "Hey I unlocked everyone and here's the characters" he does the usual prophet "I can't reveal my source but I know this to be true" move. 

I cry Shenanigans

A decent fake roster.  Including R.O.B. was a brilliant touch, IMHO.  They've been mentioned in SSE, so it makes sense they'd be in the game.  Other then that, conservative at best.  Uses the new info from the leak, of course, but only adds a few veterans, Wolf, and R.O.B. to the mix.  And only 35 characters?  I sort of hope it's fake, because being the greedy bugger I am, I want more.
EDIT: Then again, I also give the guy credit for not just including well-nigh everything from IGN's Smash It Up, as most fake rosters do.

We're all greedy...we want MORE!!!

i still only see this fake (thats right i said it  ) as a list of all the characters that most people want.  i belive there is gonna be a character that nobody really knows about to well, just like game and watch in melee. some people who were old enough remembered him, but the majority of the kids who were playing the game had no idea who the heck he was. if i see a roster with someone like that, then to me it will be more belivable.
