This is a choice the developers made for the sake of having a cast full of characters that all play and feel unique; Things like fall speed, weight, run speed, etc. are taken into account so that each character may be balanced according to their kits. For example, King K. Rool is intended to...

I believe that Smash 5 is going to be somewhere between Smash 4 and Melee in terms of competition and quality. I hate to say it, but Iwata's departure from the CEO seat has proven to have shifted Nintendo into a better direction. Ever since the Switch announcement video was released, I think...

Ridley is an awesome character, but I have absolutely no idea why people are so obsessed with having him as a playable character in Smash. Smash 5 could be much better than Melee, but it doesn't need to be quite as competitive to do so. I don't care about an indie character. Like, at all. I...

More like another Shulk. No thanks.

My point exactly! Very highly doubt that this started as a port and then suddenly became Smash 5. The porting process doesn't take that much time, and I think it stands to reason that Smash 4 probably would have been one of the first ports, if not a launch title for the Switch, considering...

Bet you the budget (and other team resources) is bigger for this game being on the Switch. Nintendo has had a very serious change of tone since the end of the Wii U.

Only half of them are DLC! But either way, I think the fact that Nintendo announced characters in the vanilla version of Smash 4 in this format sets the precedent for the next installment. Let's also remember that they can reveal multiple characters in a single CGI short like they did with...

That doesn't necessarily need to be an issue. There were actually quite a few character intros that had little or even no CGI whatsoever. These include Sonic, Pacman (kinda), Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, Ryu, Cloud and Bayonetta. The ones with full CGI shorts definitely stood out, but all of the...

They can still release the character trailers in a rapid fire style though! Let's also remember that they could start releasing info tomorrow if they wanted to -- We have no idea what kind of time window there will be for this stuff. Either way, I feel that incremental drips of information is...

With Smash 4, they started releasing character reveals on a regular basis. I'd be willing to bet they're going to do the exact same thing once they come out and officially announce the game rather than just tease it. Nintendo has been pretty good about leaks in recent years. If anything, I'd...

Wasn't 8-player Smash in the 3DS version of Smash 4? If so, I can't see them removing it just on the grounds of being less visible on the Switch tablet. Not to mention, I highly doubt that Sakurai expects many people to use handheld/table top mode for the more "party" type modes. I think the...

I disagree. Think back to the way the Smash 4 character reveals worked -- Every so often they'd release a new character intro and every single time they did, people got even more excited for the game. Unless you're talking about the actual final trailer, I think that hyping up the game one...
