Smash 3DS I'm more invested in the 3DS version of this game

How come I remember in a article Sakurai said the roster may be smaller than Brawl :l whatever I don't want to get into it.

I don't remember seeing that. I think you're referring to the interview where he said it'd be a "more balanced" roster. And that the game wouldn't focus on more newcomers like Brawl.

Because you remember a lie.

That's Sakurai saying quantity over quality is wrong.

He's right.

50 characters is a number he brought up, because that's obviously around the number of characters we'll get.

Also, Sakurai was probably referring to Brawl's roster increase. We lost 4 characters from Melee (and Young Link became Toon Link), and got 17 newcomers.

That's not going to happen again. We're not getting 4 cuts (so far it looks like no Brawl cuts), we will definitely get Mewtwo (and maybe Roy) back, and we're not getting 17 newcomers.

We'll be lucky if we get 6 newcomers on top of the 4 we already have gotten, and we're definitely not getting more than 8 addition newcomers.

And if you honestly don't think we'll get 39 characters, you're a fool. We've got 21 confirmed in 6 1/2 months, with at least another 10 months or so to go.

What makes you think MewTwo will be coming back? Gen1 already has Pikachu and Jigglypuff.

Popularity, which I honestly think is hilarious. Wasn't he the subject of many jokes before people found out he was cut?

I don't think anyone (sans super Pokémon fanboys who will buy the game anyways) really cares about which generation a Pokémon is from, so long as they are popular and would make for an awesome playable character.

As for Mewtwo, he has been the most requested character that wasn't in Brawl since Brawl launched, and it hasn't even been close.

Mega Man was from what I can gather the most requested potential newcomer for Smash 4.

There was a huge difference is how many people wanted Mewtwo compared to Mega Man.

Now that Mega Man's in, and K. Rool, Ridley, Little Mac, and Miis are the top potential newcomers, yeah, Mewtwo's odds look even greater.

On top of that, the manner in which Mewtwo was cut (probably for Sonic to join the roster in 2007) suggests that his reappearance is yet again very likely.

Popularity, which I honestly think is hilarious. Wasn't he the subject of many jokes before people found out he was cut?

We thought it was the dumbest idea, because fixing him could be done in so many ways.

And it was one of the definitively dumb decisions Sakurai, Game Arts, and Sora did in Brawl.
