I downloaded the demo on Saturday and I've mostly been playing as Villager. I've been looking forward to playing as them since they were first announced, but now that I've actually had the chance to play as them I'm absolutely sold. I think my favourite aspect of Villager so far is their...

There's no cause to lock the thread until the premise behind it is proven to be conclusively wrong/invalid. The article you linked isn't proof of anything. It isn't based on an official statement from Nintendo. It isn't even a rumour. It's just a screen for the game. If Nintendo are holding back...

Seriously? Now you're taking to insulting people who like the roster just because the characters you wanted didn't get in? I can understand you being annoyed at Sakurai because the characters you wanted didn't get in, but it's not the fault of those who are satisfied with the roster, so don't...

Maybe he lost the unlock battle? I wouldn't have thought so, but it would explain why Ness isn't on the screen. We only saw the challenger approaching screen.

I don't think I've ever been more glad to be wrong about something in my life. This humble pie will be delicious.

Not sure. It just popped up on the KYM Smash Bros gallery yesterday. Might be Nintendo Dream.

This seems to be a picture of Dedede's new Final Smash. I haven't played too many Kirby games, so I don't know what it is exactly, but maybe you guys can make sense of it.

To be fair we only just got it here in Australia this week and our 3DSes are the same region as Europe. If they do plan on bringing it to the states they'll have to sort out the region coding and stuff first, so it'll probably take a bit longer.

That's a good point. I just thought I'd point a few things out since the topic of discrepancies came up. I still think it's kinda weird not to have them entirely separate but like I said, it doesn't prove anything. Truth can often be stranger than fiction.

Sakurai was right. Villager isn't a fighting character. Villager doesn't fight. Villager SLAUGHTERS.

There are other discrepancies. Little Mac is placed between Kirby and Star Fox, which puts him away from the single-character franchises. He shouldn't even appear there chronologically. He should either be between Donkey Kong and Legend of Zelda (Arcade release) or between Kid Icarus and Fire...

This has been gone over a few times. The Mii Fighters will almost certainly be counted as separate characters officially, just like transforming characters in previous installments. That being the case we know 51 characters between what's been officially revealed and the leak, so the point is...

That's a good point. Even if the stores themselves don't do a midnight release, it will still be available on the Japanese eShop starting at midnight. It's impossible for it to be 2 am or pm anywhere in America at that time.

That's a fair point. I was just making a guess based on the available information. Frankly I think it could go in any direction. Today Sakurai showed us that even when we think we have him figured he can still throw us a curveball.

My personal guess is that they want to add DLC characters, but don't want to leave All-Star Mode locked until the last one comes out. Nor do they want to sacrifice the ultimate completeness of All-Star Mode by not having DLC characters be a part of it. So by making All-Star available from the...
