Several sites posted the videos and they even say (the videos if you click on them) copyright claimed by Nintendo, so clearly something was there. Now it could still be fake but the videos existed unless every journalist is in on it as well as and youtube is just dicking around with a fake claim
Ganondorf even still has that same 'old man jog' running animation. While he may get some slight buffs with certain attacks (kinda hard to tell at the moment), will still only be around as competitively viable as he was in Brawl, give or take.

Aside from Snake which was expected by this point, some of the other guys like Wolf have been cut too it seems, and even Ice Climbers. Well, unless we get some new leak/development that confirms them but at the moment they seem as good as gone... And we got Dr. Mario back, the king of clones, who definitely couldn't of been an alternate costume.
Just lookin at the footage, just saying Bowser Jr could easily have been a trophy assist the way he was only facing in one direction and at one point not really attacking anything. Shulk... he just may be and that makes me excited. Gannondorf's appearing on a brawl stage using exactly the same moves as before makes me dubious to clever manipulation, but its hard to think anyone's that smart (except Asians). The picture leaks (like of the character select screen), makes me scrutinize the leak with its obviously copy and pasted pictures of character faces from other pictures. But the footage gets me very confused.
I'm honestly fuming over here. Palutena gets 12 unique specials, Pit gets revamped, and Dark Pit gets added but Ganondorf is still a clone?! dat Sakurai bias.... Ugh.
Well duh, I think the whole point of Palutena being so unique is that she IS a GODDESS. Her only rivals from Zeldaverse are probs the Three Goddesses, Hylia and Demise. All the other powerful people in Zelda are Pit tier.
Pretty sure Zelda's outsold Sakurai's baby several times over, as has like Donkey Kong on account of DKCR and Tropical Freeze, yet even the amount of new content it's getting in this game seems abysmal.
By that logic then, Rosalina should have at least around 10 unique specials as well, as she can easily be implied a goddess (creator of galaxies and all) ... I'd like that actually.
Seems like a good chunk of the concepts and/or kind of moveset K. Rool would've had (cannonballs, minions present, unique costumes, etc.) ended up being used for Bowser Jr anyway.
