Sakurai tweets Concept Art! More characters confirmed! (Edit: Debunked.)

NOTE: The following has since been proven false. This post is only here for the sake of its history, nothing that it says is valid anymore.

According to IGN, the above image was tweeted by Sakurai, as concept art for the new Smash Bros. game.

I cannot locate the original tweet, and I pretty damn well searched his timeline, so I can't confirm this.

However, if this is true, then while it isn't definitive proof of any character confirmation, it's pretty damn close.

With this, the following characters are confirmed:

Luigi

Marth

Meta Knight

Zero Suit Samus

Wario

Mr. Game & Watch

Furthermore, there are also a number of items in this artwork: Heart Container, Warp Star, Mr. Saturn, and Sandbag. Looks like the info keeps on pouring in! Let's hope it never stops!

These have now been added to the "Confirmed Information" page.

And now they have been removed. It turns out that the tweet in question was several months ago, and cannot be taken as proof of anything.
