How many characters will there be?

[Foxisthemaster]

My brother told me a pattern between how many character were in SSB, and how many were in SSBM. The pattern gets really confusing, but I think he said that, if the pattern continues, their could be 50 characters (if you include everyone). Is this reasonable, or is my brother on crack?:embarrass

I'll ask and confirm his theory

It won't be as many as there were between SSb -> 'Melee, so around 45-50.

25-35... anything more, and you're just starting to kid yourself.

 

[Foxisthemaster]

The previews don't show off that many "Start Off" characters, so it's kind of making me think that their might be less then SSBM. Maybe Nintendo just want's to surprise us, by waiting (Isn't it time for a new trailer to come out on the web, geez!)

SSBM showed off more characters then Brawl, does this mean there will be less characters?

I meant to say 45-50 at most.

 

[Wiseguy]

I'm expecting 40, hoping for 45.

 

[pikachun00b7]

Same as melee. take some char away bring new ones in. 35 is the limit.

 

[MikeMoney]

I thought 35 was confirmed?

 

[Tiamat]

Nothing was confirmed or even hinted at besides that not all characters would be returning even though Sakurai would try his best (implying that resources are NOT unlimited).

I'd say 35-40 tops, myself, and even then a pessimistic side of me says it could be 30 or less. I imagine Smash Bros. becomes hell to balance or program after introducing so many characters, given all the various factors one must account for and program in that game.

Hopefully there will be a big selection of characters good thing Wii discs can store more data.

 

[GreenMamba]

Data wasn't a problem for character creating in Melee in the least bit.

 

[Numa Dude]

35 absolute minimum
50 absolute maximum
I'd say we will get around 40-45 characters.

There is no "pattern." Sakurai will put as many characters as they have time to develope while still releasing the game at a reasonable time.
