Character select screen post Lucas DLC

[Glottis]

So, with the announcement of Lucas, as well as at least one more additional character as DLC, it has me wondering what changes will be made to the character select screen.
With Mewtwo & Lucas, the screen as it looks right now will be all out of space.
This prompts a redesign for the third DLC character.
How do you guys & gals think they will go about it?

A total redesign with smaller icons?

An extra page?

Just one DLC icon, where you scroll through the characters a la the Mii Fighters?

Discuss!

Im sure they are gonna want to keep it simple and just do a redesign with smaller squares. Having it in a "scroll page for my characters" would be annoying for the other players and tedious if that person wants to switch characters constantly.

Your move sakurai.

My guess is that they will just add them to the end of one of the rows and just make all the portraits a little bit smaller.

I hope it's nothing complicated.

As I stated in an earlier post back in January, I easily see room to add up to six characters on the existing screens without the need to resize anything.

I imagine they could easily squish everything a tiny bit.

An extra page might look silly with only a few characters, and I had wondered what would happen if multiple players were trying to select different characters, but I think they might have two different ones. The 3ds is perfect for a second page, since every player has their own 3DS so it doesn't matter it they need to go to the second page; the WiiU will probably get resized since there's loads of space.

My question would be how much rearranging is going to happen. Will Mewtwo/Lucas go next to the rest of their franchises? Or will they get stuck out in the bottom corner with the clones? Could the clones even move up to be with the rest of their franchises?

What I think they'll do is:

Move ROB up to the first row so he's either inbetween Mr. Game and Watch and Little Mac or just next to Little Mac. After that, Captain Falcon gets put next to the Villager on the bottom row. Mewtwo gets put next to Greninja while Lucas gets put next to Ness.

I can't see them doing a second page or anything for the Wii U version because of multiplayer but they could on the 3DS version (and it would probably use those arrows that were found in the code).

I mainly just hope that any DLC characters that belong to any pre-existing series (Dixie Kong, Impa, Ashley, Isabelle) would be included with their own series and not just shoved in at the bottom as an after-thought (like the clones). Also I hope witht this DLC the clones are put with their own series and Yoshi is put after Bowser Jr.

God, I hope they don't make another page. Naruto Storm Revolution does that and it's the dumbest thing ever.

If I'm not mistaken, all of the character icons before you unlock anyone were slightly bigger, and as you unlocked more people made the rest smaller. I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. Though I think they'll start by filling in the empty spaces.
