If you haven't already heard, Shulk got confirmed for Smash earlier today.
Of course, I am happy he made it in! But I would have been much happier if a certain someone hadn't ruined it for everyone by posting you-know-what.
Now that we know who's getting in, there's no surprises. Had I not seen the leak, Shulk's confirmation would have left me crying tears of joy, but instead I just went "Oh, okay. Leak confirmed". I know it's not like I was forced to look at the leak, but now that I did, there's no turning back. No amount of brain bleach will suffice.
This probably ruined any future character reveals for me. Leakers suck... Have any other leaks got you feeling bitter?


SPOILERS

I'm specially disappointed because Dr.Mario and MAYBE Dark Pit are blatant clones that would be better off as alts. Bowser Jr. looks like it could be fun, though.

On a semi-related note: this is a pretty sweet deal.

I won't even play the New Smash Bros. I love the games. I'm not gonna buy a Wii just to play one game though.

I actually wasn't planning on buying a Wii u either, but just two words changed my mind: Zelda U. I bought it pretty early on, and even if I had to wait years just to get an announcement, it turned out they were putting out other great stuff out there. It really is becoming a must buy, at least for all the exclusives being released.

I will get one when it is cheaper, Fatal Frame, Monster Hunter, Bayonetta 2, Wii U does have some interesting titles.

Dr Mario and Dark Pit would have been in as alts anyway, just as Lucina was going to be before Sakurai decided to make her a clone instead. Honestly, I think clones like that are a good thing, and I think an Impa who's a Sheik clone would be pretty cool, for example. I'm also praying that the leaked roster is incomplete. It seems like a huge cop-out to cut the Ice Climbers, and I played both Lucas and Wolf and found that they were unique enough to merit staying.

It really seemed like the Ice Climbers were a no-brainer, but I had heard that they possibly won't be getting in because of some sort of "technical issue". I was also expecting Lucas to return. Earthbound reps are always nice, and I was shocked Lucas wasn't making it in this time. I have a problem with Wolf, though. Falco is already a Fox clone, and I'm pretty sure we don't need a clone of a clone. If his moveset was more different, I'd have no problem.

Another new rumor popped up, but this time it's a pretty satisfying rumor! The Smash leaker was supposedly found and fired. Possibly also getting sued. I can't say I'm happy someone lost his job, but he definitely got what he deserved.
