Must have been a coincidence. I had a tough decision choosing between Mac, Isaac, and Shulk. I chose Mac since I highly doubt Shulk or Isaac would be shown early.
That is most certainly not the case. Mewtwo and Mr. Game & Watch were the last unlockables in Melee and were they the best characters?If Ridley is a starter will he suck because unlocked chars are more OP then startes?
(something brawl taught me..)
Mewtwo was the Coolest char in melee but very...far from the best.
That's just not true.
I agree he just doesn't seem like a starter to me. Though I prefer mostly unlockables.
If these chars are in no doubt they should be the most secret/last/difficult chars to unlock
Yeah but with the right timing, it could please everyone.
MetaKnight and Diddy are available from the start though. So was Fox in Melee, alongside Sheik and Peach. It has nothing to do with anything.If Ridley is a starter will he suck because unlocked chars are more OP then startes?
(something brawl taught me..)
It sure is but it sure is annoying as ****! how i cant find no Brawl specualtion/prediction roster threads..
We got about that amount with the Brawl trailer, like 5-6 or so. So it is not unrealistic.
Melee had four newcomers in the initial debut trailer, and Brawl had five. Considering that there will probably be fewer newcomers overall in SSB4 than there were in Brawl, expecting more than were in the Brawl trailer to be revealed is probably fairly unrealistic.
I did say exactly 7, I meant that Brawl's trailer showed off quite a few characters (saying 5-6 and I was close). That is what would happen with 4.
I'm not even sure what you're trying to say anymore.
Unless the roster is bigger than before. :3
If you're trying to say five new characters in the trailer is a possibility, then I agree with you. Anything more is setting yourself up for disappointment.
Right, but it won't be. Your roster is super unrealistic.
I meant to say I DIDN'T exactly mean it should be 7 (forgot to put the n't in there).
Melee revealed 4 newcomers.
So how do we get hyped?
If you can see how the roster was very big, and how 55 characters divided exclusively to the 3DS version and the Wii U version, it's basically realistic enough to satisfy.
You know what I meant.So how do we get hyped?
if i could just say your roster has a lot of characters who are not only very likely whether they are 3rd party or simply unnecesary. you could seriously benefit from cutting a few of those characters out. at least then it can be seen as "realistic"So how do we get hyped?

not really, I think more people will be dissapointed with it than satisfied
How is that? I may have missed a few characters or made some weird character choices, because it was my personal researched roster. So how is 55 characters disappointing.
I mean that they will be disappointed if their favorite or more anticipated characters are in the other version and they can't afford it
Maybe the newcomers can have much in-depth and more interesting moves to make people satisfied to what they have, like when I was questioning about Olimar's appearance (That's how I became a Pikmin fan). Maybe a friend could help you collect all characters by transferring them, it's pretty likely since SSB is in two versions, and two means twice more sales than Brawl, anyone would be willing to help ya unlock, maybe through even Streetpass.
Counting transformations, 55 characters isn't hugely unrealistic, it would take up 51 slots (assuming we don't get any more transformations). However, considering you have IIRC 25 newcomers (made up of many unlikely characters), that's when it starts to get really unrealistic.
Because like Curmudgeon said, you'd have to own two systems and two separate games to play as not only both halves of the roster, but the original freaking 8, which is ridiculous. Your roster is effectively for two games with connectivity, not one. In reality, buying either one of your "games" would leave the person with a roster of around 27, with the 3DS one having comparatively few newcomers and the Wii U one not having characters like Mario, Link, Samus, DK, and Kirby, which is... just...
Sakurai doesn't play favourites, he's not going to purposely make newcomers more in-depth and interesting than veterans, that would wreck the game.
Why specifically the US?
Yeah chances are high to transfer things between the Wii U and the 3DS, but will characters be transfered? It's more possible that music, trophies, and stages are transferable. I don't think they would really do that with characters, even if it's only one or two exclusive chars. A lot of people will bash Nintendo for that. Not saying it's a bad idea, it's just not likely for smash.
Maybe exclusive was the wrong word. All characters are divided into retro and new (3DS version and Wii U version). You are able to transfer these characters freely to any player (and stranger :3) if they want the character. But maybe they should fight the transferred character incase.
that is a really bad analogy as everyone knows that Diddy has been in the starring role on more than one occasion and proven to be just as capable as DK. Donkey Kong Country 1-2, DK 64, even the Diddy Kong Racing games can count.
Uh... huh....
I'd suggest you drop the whole retro/modern angle you're going for, it's really making your rosters suffer. No one will take you seriously if you don't have (at least) the starting eight on both rosters. At least.
Right, because people complaining would surely be worth Nintendo taking a huge profit cut over a few characters.
It's Smash, no matter how the game ends up, people will complain about something. Nintendo is in it for the profit, if they see an area that can easily be exploited and will result in significantly reduced revenue, they will work to prevent it.
