The evidence all seems to check out.

Which makes the whole thing a little disappointing to me for several reasons.

If they're going with a series first, and having characters from a franchise that didn't originate in Japan (and one owned by Microsoft, no less), I'd have liked for Nintendo to get to reveal that themselves.

And while I appreciate most of the additions and ommissions, I have no idea what Shadow is doing in there. I'm really not feeling it for him. I realize he's easier to add than Tails (or Eggman if they are going for villains) but really. Nobody likes him. And we've got enough evil echos already with Dark Pit, Dark Samus, and YES also Wolf and Ganondorf. If they're not to be considered echoes, give them proper movesets.

That's my bile. Fun research on this one though. Good job, internet.

I agree it would’ve been nice for Nintendo and sakurai to reveal these characters themselves if this is real. Plus adding insult to injury, the leaker appears to have given Nintendo the middle finger with a small comment in French.

And as for Echoes, that’s why they’re echoes. They can add characters from a previous build and make a few tweaks here and there in the later part of development. It’s either have them as Echoes or not have anyone at all as they’re not taking the place of any other character that could’ve been in consideration. They’re simply additional characters.
