The leaks, in gif form to prevent a video that'll inevitably be taken down by Nintendo.
 
I thought about it, and I think that two parts of the leak may be real: Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt Dog. Why? First, both of their models are the most well done of all of the leaked characters and are the only ones to not be similar to other artwork or models. Second, Bowser Jr.'s video is higher quality than Shulk's video. I think that it may be possible that the leaker got information from a tipper about those two characters, so he decided to expand the leak and make it into something more than it really is.

They won't exactly play...
They are large files so it may take a bit of buffering. It took me several refreshes before one would play.
 
I wonder what they would call Duck Hunt Dog? I don't think they would refer him to that. Probably:
Duck Hunter
Hunting Dog
Laughing Dog
Snoop Dog since he doesn't go by that name anymore
 
Well they do say "Wii Fit Trainer", so it's possible they'd say "Duck Hunt Dog".

For now, I'll just call it "Dog".
 
Apparently the videos were taken down by Nintendo.

If they were't then I need to yell at my sources.

If they were then I believe them.
 
It still could of possibly been taken down for another reason. If Bowser Jr. does ride in his Koopa Clown Car, that would be dumb. It would be good for his up special though.

Really? I think it's pretty cool because I can't think of anything he would do on foot, he would be pretty bland. Also seeing how this is Smash I think Bowser Jr would sound like a baby dragon rather than...well Bowser Jr, like how Donkey Kong sounded like an actual gorilla, Bowser sounded like an actual dragon, and Diddy sounded like an actual chimp, hell when I heard he was in Brawl I was expecting him to sound like his original voice from Donkey Kong 64.
 
Also his attacks in the leaks looked really cool.

I think he is a good addition, whether he gives the Mario series too much representation or not doesn't really bother me.
 
His attacks could easily use the Paintbrush. How does he walk when he's in a helicopter the whole time? It just doesn't make sense.

i can believe dr mario and dark pit being in, sakurai did say everyone with even minor differences would be their own character instead of an alt iirc. i'm hoping they make them "old school" versions of the originals, i.e. dr mario being like he was in melee with the tornado and all, and dark pit having the flight up+b. i didn't play kid icarus uprising, but apparently he has the power of infinite flight or something, so it'd make sense
I agree, hopefully Dr. Mario retains his Melee moveset because the Tornado would actually differentiate him more from SSB4 Mario. I hope his custom specials are vastly different as well (because a ginormous megavitamin would be really stupid, viruses would be so much cooler).

As for Dark Pit, there's tonnes of weapons in KI:U for him to utilize as specials
though if iirc doesn't he lose his power of infinite flight after you fight pandora, regardless infinite flight'd be a better idea

Shulk seems really cool, and part of the leak states that Bowser Jr. will be getting Koopaling alts so I'll be using Iggy/Ludwig for sure if that's true. I'm just surprised that ESRB video didn't contain any Duck Hunt footage. I really wanna see him in action.

yeah the initial ones were, and heaps of reuploads are getting flagged as well (I tried to rewatch the one I found this morning and it's been removed). Plus apparently some guy is getting fired and sued for this(? haven't heard about that yet lol)

Here's a Larry trophy. He's in a clown car by himself which he's only been in with the other koopalings. He also has blue lines instead of green, meaning he could be the blue alt. hint hint, I want to believe.
 
That could also be a "leak" in itself, so it might not actually be true. The video could of been taken down for other legal reasons.

I didn't even see the videos before they were taken down so I can't say if they were real or not.

Just to clarify: I know Bowser Jr. and Shulk were shown in the videos, but were any other characters from the leak in the videos?
It's from the same guy, and was using the same models as the leak, so it's part of the whole.
Ok I'm pretty sure it's real now.

The five of them were uploaded to gfycat if you still haven't seen them.

case anyone missed it.
 
I think it's legit, but something seems off and I don't know what....
I'm okay with Dr Mario returning because he was my main in SSBM.

one of the images in the leaks said it was "Duck Hunt"

I don't believe Dr.Mario is in because it's not really fair that Mario gets 7 reps while Zelda and Pokemon only have 5
The leaker apparently revealed that the roster shown isn't the full roster. He also said Mewtwo and Impa are in which gives Zelda and Pokémon 6 reps.

Idk if I trust him outside of the screenshots though.

I like the leaker even more, he reveals Duck Hunt Dog and brings Mewtwo back
