Technically they still have a few hours. But that is not saying much. Can't be right every time.So with today, that means that the 'leaks' are proven as fake...?
Wow. Tell me something I didn't know then...
If we get a veteran, I'm going to be torn between being glad enough to get something from them, and being really annoyed that it's yet another veteran.
Perhaps, but I seriosuly doubt we'll hear something about it. Serves people right for telling fake rumors AND the believers of those too when there's nothing to gain from it but to play with the expectations of people.
Beggars can't be choosers.
Yes. Other than diehard fans of those characters. After months of waiting, there better be something more worthwhile than another veteran like Wolf. Snake is more understandable and people probably wouldn't complain too much since he looks very iffy right now, but honestly I highly doubt it'd be Snake. Wolf, though, yeah, because he should've been announced a while back. Getting him now instead of a newcomer would be a huge letdown, and probably wouldn't happen anyway.
Maybe Wolf is already closed to, if not already, finished and they're waiting on the development of a newcomer to make an announcement? It's pure speculation, but it's not unreasonable to think they'll do something similar to Ryu, where they announced him along with a returning veteran. It would be a good way of reintroducing a veteran without discouraging the audience.
I second this notion.
I think Wolf is probably done as well and they're saving him. That's my point, though, there's NO REASON to wait this long on Wolf. However, if they announce him with a newcomer, that would take the blow off of it only being a veteran after 5 months no info.
Why would Nintendo open the ballot for 3rd parties if they weren't going to add any of the ones brought up? I don't really see why 3rd parties are considered unlikely. The only issue at hand is that there aren't a lot of "quality" choices out there. Nintendo has recently worked with Konami. Sakurai loves Metal Gear. Kojima wants Snake in Smash (and despite him not being at Konami, that means he's not going to be offended if Snake comes back).
I'm sure people will be grateful to get something (especially for the sake of just having it), but I don't know how long it would keep people invested. I know a lot of people are antsy to see Wolf or Snake return, but you've also got a lot of people who are waiting for newcomers, especially since 75% of the DLC characters so far have been veterans, two of which semi-clones to boot (and no, there's nothing wrong with these characters, they just don't bring as much to the table as a veteran like Mewtwo). I mean, going back to an older reveal trailer, who was more exciting to see- Robin, or Captain Falcon?
When Roy and Ryu were revealed- or should I say leaked on my twitter feed- even though Roy's gotten more love from me, Ryu's reveal was waaaay more exciting. With a veteran, you know what you're going to get. And for some people, it's a lot harder to work up passion for that.
Ridley isn't even in Federation Force.
I never said they wouldn't do third-parties, but third-parties have a much, much higher barrier to get into the game. They opened it up to third-parties to not restrict people's votes too much, and because they might consider third-parties if there's enough overwhelming support for one. But due to the high cost of entry they'd be very, very limited, and would probably come much later in the cycle.
You're blowing this way out of proportion. First off, most of the content is crap anyway. A decent stage here and there, and returning characters we've already played as in past games. But even then, its not a matter of being satisfied. Its a matter of the fact that in order to make people stay interested in Smash long enough to care about DLC characters, they HAVE TO REVEAL SOMETHING that will get a lot of people hyped. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how many stages they bring back that people will play on for five minutes and get bored of, it doesn't matter how many pointless Mii Fighter costumes they add. People just will give up and quit on Smash without anything big they want to try.
This exactly. "Beggars can't be choosers" is a pointlessly STUPID argument when its perfectly valid. Nobody NEEDS to buy Smash DLC characters, and when food is far more important and many people have tight budgets and can't just buy everything they dish out...I'm sure people will be grateful to get something (especially for the sake of just having it), but I don't know how long it would keep people invested. I know a lot of people are antsy to see Wolf or Snake return, but you've also got a lot of people who are waiting for newcomers, especially since 75% of the DLC characters so far have been veterans, two of which semi-clones to boot (and no, there's nothing wrong with these characters, they just don't bring as much to the table as a veteran like Mewtwo). I mean, going back to an older reveal trailer, who was more exciting to see- Robin, or Captain Falcon?
If 80% of DLC is just returning characters and 60% are semi-clones, people are going to be frustrated. And I don't feel like "beggars can't be choosers" is as applicable when it's our money that's paying to add characters to our rosters. If they were free updates, I'd completely agree with that phrase, otherwise.
"Most of the content is crap"...because that's just what you think. Is it because it's not what YOU wanted? It most certainly isn't crap. Pirate Ship was a highly requested stage. A lot of Mii Costumes are neat and add content for many characters who wouldn't be in otherwise, and give fans a chance to at least appear as their favorite characters.
But they do? No, seriously, they actually only have the Polar Bear in Smash 3DS.
This doesn't make a character, this makes a character with half of their moveset gone.
Correct. We simply don't know. When the character is announced, we'll likely hear some kind of confirmation saying one way or the other.
It's the people's choice within reason. We could easily get a veteran or a newcomer; we simply just don't know which.
Wait. How do you know that? We know so little about the game.
How likely do people see another 3rd party in DLC, by the way?
Outside of the Sonic series, SEGA doesn't quite have any franchise of the same level as the ones already in the game. Same with Namco.
I don't see indies like Shantae and Shovel Knight as particularly likely either, yet.
Honestly, it's probably between Tails or Eggman. But I'm assuming you mean't non-Sonic, so, NiGHTS would be their most iconic, it isn't even close to being to to the same extent of iconicness, but I think it's still the most legendary character they have other than the Sonic characters.
Other than sonic characters Alex Kidd is a gaming console mascot (Sega master system) and the Mr. Game and watch of SEGA and was SEGA mascot before Sonic and was the face of SEGA for 5 years and made a lot of appearance and was here since 29 years so.
Upset? I'd be hyped to see Wolf and/or Snake back!

I don't think the potential six slot thing means six more characters are on the way. We're probably just getting the three and that's it. It'll probably look something like this on the 3DS version. (but with like, three different characters potentially)My prediction in the final roster:
i see Bomberman being lickeley than Snake for some reasons also its kinda hard to choose between Chibi-robo and Ray MK.
You know people voted for him.We're getting Etika?
I was always under the impression that the ballot was open to 3rd parties but they still had to meet Sakurai's standards and if they didn't then we wouldn't get a 3rd party character. He's not going to put in a character just because they're 3rd party.

: Well, for 3rd party characters and pretty much any character, they need to ask permission to see if they can use the character, pay any fees if needed and come up with a proposal that character's rights' owner is happy with.
He was mainly just rightfully explaining that just because 3rd parties are open to suggestion doesn't guarantee their inclusion. In the end it's up to Daddy Sakurai, and that's that. Though it's highly possible we'll get one.
Phantasy Star or Super Monkey Ball since Sega still make games for those series.
The ballot was just a glorified suggestion box, after all. Well, it's up to Sakurai and whoever holds the rights for X or Y character now.
Sakurai makes a list of characters he deems worthy to develop.
I think it depends on how much the 3ds version smash file could handle, if the 3DS smash version is nearly full then I think we are just getting 3 characters but if it's still has more space then we can get at least 6 characters.I don't think the potential six slot thing means six more characters are on the way. We're probably just getting the three and that's it. It'll probably look something like this on the 3DS version. (but with like, three different characters potentially)
