Yeah, but the "new" "leaker" was saying 52 character select screen slots, not necessarily literally 52 characters, and I believe it's confirmed Miis take up one slot on the menu. At the very least they're one slot on SmashBros.com, if that even means anything at all.
Someone was reaching for straws, huh? JIGGLY!
Speaking of, Lucina's a little on the malnourished side. I like mah waifus to be built in a well fed and pleasing-to-the-eye way.

Eh, I guess that's true. Did the "leaker" say anything about characters like Isaac and Dixie, or were those just guesses?
So theoretically 52 regular characters? If still counting everyone Brawl's 39 plus revealed newcomers plus Shulk and Rhythm Heaven and assuming Mii Fighters are just one slot, that's 52. But in other posts, he suggests more clones to come. Maybe 3-4 cuts and sorta-clones again? I can see Dixie Kong being a Diddy clone.

Exactly. I am so sick to death of all this leak worshiping. It just makes discussion stagnate and boring.

Nah, Isaac and Dixie were from that one guy who closed his roster leak with a promise of a Wario reveal this week. So, not exactly the most trustworthy of sources. I'm just combining ALL THE LEAKS, as it seems they all fit nicely together (taking into account "mistakes" anyway). At this point it would be silly to take anything too seriously, but it's interesting/fun to look at them all.
I first met Prog in January 2012 at Apex. Melee hadn't really blown up back then, this was before Evo and before the Documentary, so I had only vaguely heard of him.
This was the first time I traveled out of the country for a tournament, and the first major I had ever attended. It was a pretty overwhelming experience. I found myself wandering around the venue alone most of the time, watching Mango face PPMD in endless friendlies, or M2K practicing against random Puff players.
Out of nowhere, this dude just walks up to me and my friend. "So how are you enjoying the tournament?" It was Prog. We struck up a conversation instantly, talked about the trip from Toronto to Jersey, my thoughts on the tournament, and the ridiculous shit Mango was doing on the TV in front of us.
After a lengthy chat, he offered my friend and I a ride back to the hotel. Here I am, a total nobody from Toronto, and this dude is offering to drive me himself to the hotel. Unbelievable kindness right there.
It was no surprise to me that just a few months later, Prog became not only the voice of Melee commentary, but a leader and role model of the Smash community as a whole.
I doubt he remembers me because I'm sure he did the same thing a hundred times that weekend and to thousands of Smashers since then. That's just the kind of guy he is. If you're reading this, I just wanted to say thanks, Prog. Thanks for not only making a random kid from Toronto feel welcome at that tournament, but for all the hard work you've put in for this community. It's thanks to you that we are where we are.
Get well, and I hope to see you again sometime!

So, do you guys think we'll actually get a pic tonight?

Let's see if some leaker knows if we get a pic tonight.

Someone else said it earlier, but it will likely just be an explanation of Robin's attack mechanics. If not it'll be some random non-update.

If we've learned anything in the past 24 hours it's that we know nothing. Sure it'll probably be one of those things. But if Sakurai revealed the boss mode gamepad thing right. now.

It might also be nothing at all. The character reveal might have counted as Tuesday's update.

DBZ is slowly coming back....in a good way hopefully. I would like to think so after seeing the Battle of the Gods movie.
So How many more reveals will we get before release I wonder.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I wonder what PotD is
I'm starting to think this might be the case too. Not that I wouldn't love to be proven wrong.

So, if that leak is true and it's 52 characters, assuming no cuts from Brawl except Ivysaur and Squirtle plus the newcomers we already have/are presumed leaked, that still leaves 2 newcomers, that's interesting.

We're getting a picture.

Why would Squirtle and Ivysaur be cut?
WhiteRabbitEXE

Very, very true. At this point anything goes.
Ah, random thought: Has anyone bothered to check if (warning: very slight Fire Emblem Awakening spoilers ahead)
?
EDIT: And there it is! Based Sakurai
Lucina has the Fire Emblem crest in one of her eyes in the in-game model

Gematsu leak has me pretty solidly against any leak claiming to know the full roster. They clearly divide up information on the game in a way so that it's hard to know the full roster.
Plus, bosses controlled by Wii U is something many have guessed, myself included. Unless we really do get 64 characters, I'm not believing this one. It's too all encompassing. The Gematsu leak never claimed to know everything, many of the leaks that Brawl had that, in hindsight, were true never claimed to know everything, and that's why I think it's so much more believable than ones like this.

I can see at least Squirtle being cut since Greninja is there, Ivysaur could be in or be replaced by another Grass starter, most likely would be Sceptile since it has another Mega coming up.
...thats a burnt Jigglypuff!?
No, it's my new avatar thanks to Batty. It's a screwed up Tim Burton looking Jigglypuff. Lowering size n' whatnot screwed up the quality a bit, but it's kinda slimy fuzzy and a bit bloody.

heYO!
This is what I've always said was the strength of the original leak but why I got a bit suspicious with the second one. Less is more as they say.

37 veterans + 11 newcomers we already know + Shulk and Marshall (assuming the leaker indeed got the character wrong) = 50, still 2 missingShulk and Chorus Kids

Squirtle and Ivysaur?

Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach.
Yeah. The second part is more suspicious as it got a little more broad and bigger, but at the same time, if you consider that over the course of roughly a year he only learned of a few newcomers, no stages, and no veterans, it's a little more believable.

read my original post, tho I'd assume Sceptile to be one of them, and the other missing could very well be Mewtwo, but that would be Pokemon overkill.

Pic of the day. Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth's--it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She's also a little bit shorter than Marth.
With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot. That is why you can select Lucina individually.
By the way…there's probably no chance you'll be able to see this in the game, but Lucina has the mark of Naga in her left eye.
Heh, good one. King Boo and Bone Dry getting robbed again
