You are making literally NO sense. Why would a character get cut because he's predictable? Little Mac, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Miis, and Palutena were all pretty predictable, and they weren't cut. Faulty logic. Unless you want to explain it better, of course.
I understand, i was saying that because it's pretty much the same, everyone just assumes that game and watch is in, but he's not confirmed, like shulk, so they have a similar issue.
Thing is that by this game's announcement most people ranked Shulk's chances at around the 40% range, it's only because of leaks that people have come to expect him, and don't tell me they're going to delete him because people suddenly expect him, that's throwing a lot of money out the window just because.
Pretty much. I don't believe any leak including the crapshoot called Gemastu but Shulk had a chance LONG before anything surface. If you want a character that was wanted because a surfaced leak, see those Chorus Kids/Men/Bros whatever their names are
They can't; It contradicts the promise that they would have the same roster.
Well that's not the case but i feel like Sakurai was mad at all that Gematsu stuff and he proved us wrong with that fighter trailer, remember Chrom was shown also Robin very similar to Shulk? I think that was all well thought and made to surprise a mass amount of people believed in very popular leak Gematsu. I think Gematsu was real until the very end, because it was pretty accurate, i'm not one of those Gematsu fanboys, but still, i don't think Mii Fighters or Pac-man were predictable, also how is Mega Man predictable? People wanted Mega Man since melee i think and we didn't get it until SSB4. So i think just because Sakurai wants to surprise people always, he may put different characters as unlockables of course, but we won't get very predictable characters for now, like Shulk. I would like to hear your opinion now
Shulk wasn't considered to be that likely in general though, people considered him to be around as likely as Isaac which wasn't all that comforting, no one were that certain on his inclusion until Gematsu hoarded him in, and now this leak. Leaks do make people bandwagon on characters too, while Shulk was decently popular before no way his thread would ever have surpassed K. Rool's in post count if not for being in leaks. Same thing goes for Palutena, before the leak she was basically the "more expected than wanted" character for this game, but as soon as the leak popped up she suddenly gained a lot of fans.
Bye bye Mega Man, I'll miss you.
Wasn't he the #1 most wanted newcomer, thus contradicting his point?
Not really, that would mean that the DLC is for 3DS only and the Wii U Version will have the full 100% roster.
he was, but shulk is not #1 most wanted newcomer, he is #1 most expected, that's what bothers Sakurai so much, only in my opinion...
That would no be fair for the people only getting the 3DS game.
How is Dark Pit a "red flag" when he was teased as "crashing the party" in Palutena's trailer?
And having a two-time veteran cut because of 3DS limitations isn't fair to WiiU owners.
Yeah, Mega Man easily hoarded that title to himself, and his inclusion wasn't even all that surprising given how Capcom had already said they'd like him in Smash. Heck, even Sakurai said a Capcom character was a possibility.
i really wish 3ds and wii u versions didn't have to be the same except modes and stages, because it limits wii u a lot, right?
Not a lot, it's not like we'd have 70 characters on the Wii U version without the 3DS version.
Someone did throw out an option a while back about releasing a 3ds update with finished characters for the missing ones that are on the wii u... but that wont happen... probably.
no not that, but for example, ice climbers were cut because of it, i'm not saying i'm a big fan of them, but still :/
Uh, both were in some way. The Miis have been seeing use by Nintendo for a long time and the Top 3 best selling games on the Wii just happened to be games where the Miis are the stars (Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit). Wii Fit Trainer and Villager also were huge clues that the Miis were happening (Wii Fit Trainer doesn't make as much sense (Or even less sense anyway) if the Miis aren't included as well, and Villager sets a precedent that a character representative can be the player's avatar in a video game can be made playable)
yeah, but i never expected TWOOO... i mean i really did see pac-man coming... and mega man...
That's very strange and would be unpopular. Who wants an unfinished game?
hey man, i didn't come up with the idea, i was just bringing it back, and if you view the extra characters that were unbalanced as DLC then it's not unfinished, it's like saying banjo kazooie is unfinished because they decided to remove that glitter gultch mine stage and put in the the second game... well not really but it wont happen anyways, so back to the main topic.
I never said that. Heck, he can crash the party,as Pit's alternate skin which all the signs are showing. Lucina doesn't always justify his reason for being playable
Wasn't that Chrom?
Agreed. I'm fine with some DLC down the road, but don't give me an unfinished game. Sakurai and his teams have a talent for delivering high-quality, polished products even when it comes down to the wire. I have faith!
Yeah thanks... I'm telling the same
I feel like they could definitely get away with not having ice climbers in the game at release, and once all the wrinkles are ironed out putting them out there as DLC IF THEY DID DLC, i'm not saying it's a good idea, and i'd personally rather they delay the game until it gets fixed, because you're right, who wants an unfinished game. ( you know, other than all those early access games on steam) but it's really up to them what they do, i know i'll love the game anyways, so i'm fine with the choice they make
Well, Olimar is one character space. In the data, Nana and Popo are separate. They are much more complicated than one thinks.
They had to change olimars pikman amount because if everyone picked olimar there would be too many pikman and characters on the screen and this doesnt explain why he would have duck hunt dog and duck and rosalina and luma as team characters but not ice climbers, doesnt make sense
They changed Olimar's Pikmin count so you had to pay attention to your Pikmin and play with more strategy
Well, it wouldn't surprise me that excessive amounts of Pikmin made the gameplay laggy.
Just so you're aware, Xenoblade Chronicles is around 70 hours of playtime if you go easy on the side quests. If you do all of the side quests, you'll be playing that game for a very very long time.
