Do not read this if you don't want to be spoiled!

Warning you!

There are spoilers for SSB4!

Just below!

Turn away!

Do you WANT to be spoiled?!

I'm not kidding!

These are grade-A spoilers here!

Last chance!

I'll count down from 5...

...and those who don't want spoilers should have left by then.

Okay?

Here we go!

Counting now!

5

One half!

One fourth!

One eighth!

One sixteenth!

...

You still here?

Okay, good.

I'll just start off with this: the ESRB leak was all true! Though we're not sure what other characters await. For now, lemme show you what we got. (These are all the unlockable characters left)

-= VETERANS =-
- Dr. Mario
- Wario
- Ganondorf
- Jigglypuff
- Falco
- Ness
- Mr. Game & Watch
- R.O.B.

-= NEWCOMERS =-
- Bowser Jr.
- Lucina (already seen)
- Dark Pit
- Duck Hunt

That's right, Dr. Mario is back! He sports the same moveset from Melee, so that means Dr. Tornado. And get ready! His Final Smash is...a Megavitamin version of the Mario Finale. Yup.

Speaking of clones, Dark Pit is just that. I've only seen his normals and specials, but they're JUST LIKE PIT'S. What'd I tell you guys? He may have the Dark Pit Staff in his artwork, but he's clearly fighting with the Silver Bow (which is a copy of the Palutena Bow). Now, I've yet to see his Final Smash. That might be a game-changer. For now...Dark Pit is just a lazy addition.

Now let's move on to Bowser Jr....or rather, the Koopalings. Yup, his palettes are all the Koopalings. Which makes less sense when you get to the Final Smash, in which s/he turns into Shadow Mario...ANYWAY! I'll just refer to Jr. He's got a lot of trap potential with his Clown Copter eject (he can hammer while falling) and Mechakoopa. He can even turn the Clown Copter into a kart! Oh, his Final Smash? Yeah, as Shadow Mario, he paints a big X over the camera. This X damages and juggles the foe around until it BURSTS. It's pretty epic! And very useful! I can tell you that you apparently have to beat Classic with Bowser to unlock him.

"Duck Hunt" is the infamous hunting dog with a duck riding on his back. He seems to have involvement with other NES Zapper games, like Wild Gunman. He can throw clay pigeons (shot by the off-screen shooter), little exploding barrels, can fly with the duck grabbing his tail, and call upon Gunmen themselves. Oh, and his Final Smash? Cinematic. He laughs as the foe gets gunned down by five Gunmen! Ohohohoho! At least now he can laugh WITH us instead of AT us (depending on who's playing him).

Oh. And all the other veterans are pretty much the same. Yes, especially Ganondorf.

New stages of interest include an F-Zero stage that looks like it was pulled from the SNES. The car on the track and the two floating platforms are constantly moving around. Some cars may come and go as well. There's also Magicant, as seen in Mother 1. Large Walking Sprouts appeared, I guess as platforms...but what really interested me was the Flying Men that appeared. Apparently, tagging with one will make him your ally.

Anyway, not sure what will become of Ice Climbers, Lucas, or Wolf (though I did hear the Star Wolf theme in Corneria). I can bet that Snake isn't in now, though, unless he's become DLC.

Oh! Little update on those three (and Mewtwo). Trophies were found of them...However! They were rather high in quality and dynamic-posing compared to other trophies. Could this mean hope for them in SSB4's near-future? Some theorize so. But who knows. Still...since the game given doesn't have the full 2.1 GB it was advertised to have, it could be more possible than we might think.
