Also, there's another "rumor" going around about the rest of the characters
POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Rosalina is the only Mario newcomer.
Waluigi and Toad were at once considered, but Waluigi remains an Assist Trophy, and Toad a move for Peach.
Bowser Junior, Paper Mario and Daisy were never considered. Bowser Junior was planned to be an Assist Trophy, but was scrapped.
Fawful is a new Mario Assist Trophy. He acts like Mr. Resetti, but will attack opponents at random.
Diddy Kong will be the next revealed veteran, to coincide with Tropical Freeze’s release date.
Diddy is paired with Dixie Kong as a tag-team, similar to Zelda and Sheik. Dixie has a separate moveset from Diddy, but it’s still being worked on.
King K. Rool is a newcomer, the heaviest character on the roster. He is powerful and can KO light characters with 2 good Smash Attacks. His final smash has him use the blunderbuss and fire cannonballs from the top of the screen while they fly in from the sides as well.
Gangplank Galleon is a stage.
There is a new Zelda character, although it’s kept a secret so far. The names heard most often are Tingle and Ghirahim.
Ganondorf will be buffed, although he still retains some of C. Falcon’s moves. He can equip a sword using his Down Special.
Chrom is a Fire Emblem necomer. He wields the Falchion, and does not replace Ike.
Chrom is expected to be revealed to celebrate the anniversary of the first Fire Emblem.
Lyn’s Assist Trophy from Brawl has been scrapped.
King Gangrel and Aversa are the new Fire Emblem Assist Trophy. Gangrel runs around slicing with his sword, while Aversa flies above using Aversa’s Night. They are the “unexpected” Assist Trophy.
No newcomers for Yoshi or Wario.
Wario’s overalls are now his default attire.
The Kat & Ana Assist Trophy has been scrapped.
Ashley from WarioWare is a new Assist Trophy.
Ridley is a newcomer, and is scaled down a bit. It was a major feat on the development team.
No new Star Fox characters.
Falco is farther away from being a Fox clone.
Wolf is no longer a semi-clone.
Villager has a female costume.
Mr. Resetti returns as an Assist Trophy.
Tom Nook is a new Assist Trophy. He apparently drops bells across the stage, which causes opponents to trip. (Due to Sakurai saying tripping is removed, it’s unknown if forced tripping, like this and Diddy’s bananas will return, or if only accidental tripping is removed.)
Palutena is a newcomer, with her moves based directly off Uprising.
Magnus is a new Assist Trophy, and acts similarly to Little Mac in Brawl.
All Pokemon veterans from Brawl return.
Mewtwo returns.
Mewtwo and Lucario have very different movesets.
No new Kirby characters.
Meta Knight will be revealed sometime in the summer of 2014.
No changes made to the EarthBound series.
All misc. characters return (Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., Ice Climbers)
Little Mac is a newcomer. He has the look from the Punch-Out!! reboot for the Wii.
The Male Wii Fit Trainer is indeed an alt. for Wii Fit Trainer.
Wii Fit Trainer has a butt attack. It is replaced by a headbutt for the male costume.
King Hippo is an Assist Trophy.
The Ghosts from Luigi’s Mansion are an Assist Trophy.
Snake returns.
Pac-Man will be the final newcomer. He is a secret character.
How do I use those cute spoiler tags? This one is ugly.
I'm like 99% sure this list is fake because it was confirmed that not every Super Smash Bros veteran is returning for SSB4.

I personally do not mind this much as long as they make the online play and connection amazing, unlike a certain other game
I'm really disappointed that there isn't going to be a Story Mode. I actually enjoyed Subspace Emissary (well, the story and cutscenes, not so much the repetitive stages). I was hoping for a bigger and better story mode in SSB4 with some RPG elements thrown in, but it looks like it won't happen.
I will be seriously pissed if they don't add King Boo to the list.
It's about time.
OMG THIS.
I NEED him in my LIFE. Seriously. I need to play with him other than in Mario Kart Wii. The sounds he makes are ICONIC and the bitch wears a CROWN indicating his SUPERIOR status to his lessers' (which is basically everyone else).
I don't think that list is accurate, only cause of Pac-Man being added. Pacman & Megaman were both guests in Street Fighter X Tekken, would be **** if they were both in another game as special guests...
That looks photoshopped to the gods. Why would the date and time be perched over the avatar? And the info underneath isn't perfectly aligned either. Plus, the random white square on the side. My guess is someone made this image up shortly after Rosalina's announcement, posted it to 4Chan or reddit without a source, and people spread it around believing it to be true. And I'm not even going to discuss the Pokemon Trainer and the three pokemon not changing, or TINGLE being added to the roster.
This is throwing me back to 2007 and early 2008 when everyone was in a complete hysteria, throwing out speculation on the character roster as if it were fact.
January 21st, 2014 marks the 15 year anniversary of Super Smash Bros 64. Do you think we will get a juicy update (More veteran characters revealed, release date announced, new trailer) or do you think Sakurai will just give a thank you message on Miiverse with a photo of Mario, Kirby, Pikachu and Samus taunting at the same time?

I actually don't remember this but I'm assuming it was a month or so leak of the game, judging by the YouTube add date?
I remember at E3 when they had people play the Brawl (demo?) and people recorded it and it uploaded it omg it was so amazing to watch all those videos. Nintendo really missed out on huge chance last year when they passed off E3. Brawl's reveal was SOOOO much more exciting than Smash 4's tbh.

The internet is much different than what it was 8 years ago lol. I wish it was as exciting as that.
I remember some staff member from Nintendo accidentally revealed Luigi in an interview.
I miss the old Smash Bros Dojo they had for Brawl. The Smash Bros site they're using for SSB4 pales in comparison. Hopefully the site will change to give us info on everything (stages, items, etc.) the closer we get to the release, whenever that may be.

I will CRY.
