What an idiot - that worker will have pretty much barred themselves from any job in the games industry now. I feel bad for Sakurai - he enjoys surprising players and that's not going to happen for some now.

On the leak:
So with that leak and then bam mario kart 8 from nintendo uk which is real and you can predownload, do you think this leak is more likely to be real & the bit about DLC characters.

And speaking of the leaks I've been watching because of one of my favourite youtubers streaming. To avoid spoilers all I'm going to say is I'm disappointed, not because of the newcomers as they're all mostly awesome picks with something for everyone, but because
roster spoils:
of the beyond ridiculous amount of clones. So much for the game supposedly cutting down on them, dark pit is literally just pit's brawl set and lucina is indeed a direct clone of marth (killing my theory her moves might have been place holders while they change the cosmetics.) And then we also have doctor mario back. At this point I almost expect mewtwo back simply because of the clone spam.
And Ganondorf is still a damn awful clone of captain falcon. He hasn't even used his fists since ocarina, instead being a swordsman in his last two appearances including the one his smash one is based on. But nope, still a bad clone.
On the bright side the footage seems to show that the game on the 3ds runs like a dream, even on low quality streams it's clear the game is a looker, even on 3ds.

Right there's a rumor from the guy that leaked all that stuff a few weeks ago that if you buy both games and link them together it will unlock 4 new character's. Seeing nearly all the leak was true, I'm going to say this is as well but he might just be stirring.

I hope there's the option to purchase them/unlock them in another way - I don't want to be restricted from playing certain characters solely because I don't own a Wii U.

It's to make you buy both / buy a Wii U in your case Jay.
The link up characters:
Take with a pinch of salt but as everything leaked from that guy is real, you'd would think this as well Dixie (You think will be a Diddy clone but one of his costumes make him look like dixie any way), Ridley (Hardest to do you'd think), Chorus Men (Kids over here I think and Mr Game & Watch Clone surely) and Mewtwo (Lucario Clone you'd think)

Well I thought I'd probably been spoiled through one source or another on most of the characters, so I had a check... and found that I'd learnt all of them. Barring Mas' spoiler above, which I don't trust yet.
I'm really pretty disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the starting roster looks great, but...
Let's count the clones:
Lucina, Alf, Doctor Mario, Dark Pit (who I hoped would be an alternate costume), Falcondorf, Falco, and Toon Link. All of them clones to various degrees (and you could include Ike if you were feeling uncharitable). As Athrun says, that's more clones than ever before.
Duck Hunt Dog is genius, I'll admit. Bowser Jr. is at least not a clone, but the Mario series representation has gone beyond "ridiculous" (reached with Rosalina) and into "insane".
As for returning characters, it's good to see Wario, G&W, ROB, and Ness back. I hoped against hope that Jiggly would be replaced by another Pokémon, but it seems like it's not to be. No Climbers?
Don't get me wrong: it's still a great and expansive character roster overall, but most of the great parts are out in the open already. A grand total of 2 original unlockable characters is having a bloody laugh.
As for other leaks, like Mas'...
Assuming they're true:
The first leak I've seen says that Wolf, Lucas, the Climbers, and Snake will re-appear as paid DLC. I do not like Nintendo planning paid DLC before launch, but with the character roster so huge, I can't fume too much. It's not like Mario Golf where the roster felt incomplete as it was. I'd buy that, but I hope they've made them feel new, and I'd also hope to see at least one all-new character in the pack. I don't like Snake being in Smash, but... ech.
Sentinator did say that this one was disproved, though.
Mas' leak sounds better, but I hope we're not dealing with three clones here. Mewtwo's different enough from Lucario, if they keep it close to its Mêlée incarnation - hope they've made it more competitive though. A Rhythm Heaven inclusion would also be great. But that's all side-stepping around the main point, which is that Ridley would finally get his time in the sun.

There's been leak of the date which seems to be the 21st of November in the states, before balla starts but were not in the states quite a lot of titles recently have been same day. Also would mean it comes the same day as Pokemon but nintendo have done this in the past two big tiltes coming the same day.
balla's spoilers:
If yours are true balla would that be two clones, ice climbers and snake which I can't see myself at all but the other three yes could see at somepoint. Like I said take mine with a pinch of salt but the guy did leak those videos with Bowser Jr etc in.

Do we know what the Wii U specific features are yet? They did say there would be some I'm the Smash Bros direct months ago and I'd really love to have Smash Bros TV.

I have to say, as a Mario player on melee I am pleased to see the return of Dr. Mario for the simple reason of avoiding having F.l.u.d.d as an attack. Also, I really dont see Ridley being in the game, scaled down he just won't look right, wheras Bowser appears in many different sizes outside of smash bros.
