"Appended to its own quotation is false" appended to its own quotation is false.
The Ice Climbers could be one of the remaining 5 (If there are in fact a remaining 5). I don't particularly care about them myself, but I would find it odd that they'd be cut, since they were in Melee and Brawl.

I can't believe that by having Omega Mode on the screenshot, this boring-rear end PotD actually confirms the entire leak in one fell swoop. loving hilarious.
So basically my earlier wish that Sakurai posted something confirming or debunking the link actually came true in the most redundant (because of Nintendo's copyright claim) and unexpected way possible. Sakurai you magnificient bastard, you were the leaker all along weren't you!

Is the "remaining 5" thing just because the menu looks like it can hold 5 more? Or did the leaker say there were 5 more characters?

There were 5 empty spaces, but also one of the other screenshots showed a locked Allstars mode, and if the older games are anything to go by then the roster we saw didn't have everybody unlocked.

Which brings up the question: are they just simply yet-to-be-unlocked, or are they reserved spaces for dlc, or something else entirely?

The menu is the reason 5 is the number given, but as far as I know, the leaker hasn't confirmed anything beyond the screen shots. People claiming to be the leaker or to have heard from him have said there are more characters, or DLC characters coming, but it's multiple people with different lists of five and there's no way to know if any of them, let alone which one, is correct.

No it really hasn't? As in, the official word on DLC is "Maybe"

I'm reasonbly sure that the most common claim of the missing Brawl Vets and Ridley as DLC is completely bullshit but then I was skeptical about this leak too.

Check out the player names to see who to bet on! For instance, 42069 is probably going to do nothing but taunt.

Also prediction for last 5: Mewtwo, Wolf, Dixie, Ridley, Celice Baldos Chalphy.

How do you divine post-launch plans from footage intended for the ESRB? I don't recall the possibility for DLC being outright denied by Nintendo, either.

I hardly think "mode where you watch other people play the game that was also in previous version" is really groundbreaking

here is a list of reasons why Celice Baldos Chalphy should be in the game:

1: He's from the second best FE game
2: He has a first, middle, and last name, making him the only nintendo character in history to have a full name
3: he is a tiny little guy to the point that his class is called 'junior lord'
4: I like this japanese fanart of him. it's pretty and makes him look cute
5: FE needs at least 13 characters, one for every game
6: I want to pat him on the head
7: he could be another marth clone
8: Actually you could probably just make Lucina even shorter and give her a ponytail and a longer cape
9: I asked Hideki Kamiya on twitter and he called me a retard and blocked me
10: FE4 has good music.
11: I was going to try to get to 13 reasons because of 13 FE games but I ran out of reasons
12: Actually some people count Akaneia Saga as an FE game, making 14
13: But that's stupid because that was just downloadable maps for FE3 on SNES. And there were only like 3. And they were included as bonuses in FE12 anyway
14: Wait gently caress

Remind me to never joke if I get my hands on a early screenshot :stare:

Edit: Those not caught up few guys posted screenshots and roster lists of "the final five!!". Every single one of them was revealed to be a complete idiot and a fraud. The original leak made no mention on if there even is a final five so people are just being hopeful

He isn't the source of the images. It's how he got debunked actually as someone gave him a cropped unreleased image and said "don't show anyone". First thing he did was make a cypher on 4chan with said image while screaming about Mach Rider and Ridley, guys who fed him the image then demanded he post the full picture if he's real and he hosed off

I'm skeptical about the "final five" because if this was supposed to be a video that showed all the content of the game, they wouldn't exclude characters.
