From Mario Strikers Charge....
 
THAT's why it said "Nintendo Characters" specifically in the Press Release!

>=O

Sweet. Hate football, hate Mario, but Goddamnit - a Pikachu cameo is worth anything.

Though I guess it might not be Pikachu... Does seem to be in Pikachu's trademark pose though.

If it is the Rat, it's also one of the first times they've actually included Pokemon in a "Nintendo-Fest" outside of SSB. Which is about damn time.
 
Well, they had Cactuar in Mario 3 on 3, so this isn't surprising.

The other shadows are interesting as well, anyone wanna take a guess?

Ah yes, I probably should of said "Football" as most people here are from the UK and Australia as well, lol

The Final Fantasy team in Mario Slam Basketball is only because Square-Enix are the developers. Mario Strikers Charged is being developed by both Next Level Games and Nintendo - the same people that made the original Mario Smash Football.

As for the other characters, I can only really make out Bowser Jr.
 
Is the one under Mario Kirby? And the one next to that Yoshi?
 
Who knows what they can be but I'm still disappointed in this game because it still seems to lean too much on Mario Party than Arcady Football to me..

but, oh well, what are you going to do!
 
The one on the very end at the right looks kinda like Ness.

And tbh, I don't think it looks much like Pikachu. =\ Except for the two things that could be ears, it could be anything. >> Plus, there's that sticky out thing at the front.

There's that sticky thing in almost all characters.
 
You know, I gotta say - it was quite brilliant for Nintendo to have the scratchy background like that behind the silhouettes. It makes it MUCH more difficult to determine which character is which.

Unfortunately, I think the most critical parts of the 'Pikachu' silhouette are actually those lines in the background...
 
THATS BLOODY DIDDY KONG

Jeez it is not Pikachu

The bit that people think would be Pikachu's ear to the left...its a black bar thats a pattern in all the head shots and you can see them.

On first glance...yes its Pikachu. But when you actually look at it, it is clearly Diddy Kong
 
It clearly is

1. Cap
2. Mouth
3. Blatent Black bit on every head shot
4. THEY'RE ALL BLATENTLY HEAD SHOTS. THIS WOULD BE A FULL BODY SHOT
5. Pikachu doesnt have arms that long
6. Explain Pikachu's armpit anomaly if it is Pikachu

I guarantee to you that this is Diddy
 
I'm just overly hopeful....

Sorry to say....but I think your right....-_-

I guess Pikachu playing the worlds most popular sport and getting a spot on the France World Team won't happen.....
 
Of course I'm right

If this was Smash Strikers Charged or Nintendo Strikers Charged you all might have a point. But these are all Mario Franchise Characters
 
It still bothers me to say things like this - but I think Serebii's right.

I can say for sure it's not Pikachu, and you guys need to pay more attention to where those lines are in the backgrounds of the silhouettes.

It doesn't necessarily rule it out... just limits it. But yeah, ever since I actually fully inspected the pic - it seemed a bit off for Pikachu so became increasingly unsure.

I still can't see Diddy Kong in it mind you, but I can't see anyone in 99% of all the other shadows either so whatever.
 
Serebii is correct. *shudders*

But Pikachu would've been nice. = (
