Brawl Roster leaked?

Brawl Roster leaked?

I have been sitting on this for about a week now. I first saw it on a Nintendo forum, then another, then a site. The thing is they were all a little different. Things are slow today, probably because of MLK, so I thought it was about time to post this. The list I have chosen to post, is one that makes the most sense. The story behind this list is that it was leaked from Prima.com, then gaf, and other places picked it up. For those of you who don’t know about prima, they make a lot of the walkthroughs for games, so it would make sense for them to have the game a little early. Anyways just in case this list is real I will put it after the jump.
