This makes me think. I've seen a lot of hate towards Lucas since people think other franchises may need to be trimmed, but if Mario can have 5 characters, with none of them being another Mario, why do any existing franchises need to be trimmed back?

What are you smoking lad?

I heard in a interview that Sakurai doesn´t want to add so many characters in this new Smash Bros. That it would be something like 20 or 25 chars. I trust my resources, but if you´ve never seen it, then it could be a lie. I hope so. 20 characters is too small

Also, if i´m seen posting the same thing twice, it´s because of my laggy server.

Heeeelll nah. Lucas is my boy,
I could say the same for Fox, Falco and Wolf. And 20 characters? That's balder-****

I think you're reading what he said out of context. I assume when he says "Add" he means as in.... Newcomers, not veterans...

You do realize how many franchises he'd be excluding if only 20 characters got in, or how many important Nintendo figures would be left out.

There's never been a specific number hinted at other than fifty. And that was only a number Sakurai said he could do, not one he necessarily would do.

We're going to be getting a fair bit more than 25.

The way I see it, we already have 4 newcomers, and there's still quite some time til the game comes out.

While I don't think we'll get as many newcomers as we got from Brawl, I still believe that Sakurai, the man who likes to keep surprises and isn't making another SSE because cutscene sharing makes him sad, would not show his entire hand this early, especially with a potential for another E3 before the game comes out.

I think a lot of people here just are expecting something small so when something big happens, they get surprised, like Rosalina. I myself see the roster growing quite a bit from this game, and would be honestly surprised if we don't hit at least 45 characters, margin for cuts included.

Seriously ???

SERIOUSLY ???

All of this time waiting for old veterans and newcomers, and we get this ??? I mean, for real though, is she really that interesting ? No. It´s because Nintendo has to shoehorn her into whatever Mario media they can. Don´t get me wrong, i like this character, but i think she just wasn´t deserving of this spot yet. And if the statement that says this Smash Bros will only have 20 characters, then there is only 1 character left for the game.

And it´s absurd that they added her into the game before other characters like Wario, Ganon or Yoshi. And only 4 of the new characters are newcomers.

I understand it comes down to good balance and gameplay more than characters in smash. But if Smash 4 only has 20 characters they better have some DLC, or else I'm gonna avoid it.

Yeah. I could be wrong though. I think the game will have less characters than Brawl. But not 20.

How can someone actually even start to think to believe that the roster will consist of 20 characters in total.

Just, HOW.

It seems that Sakurai's plan to lower everyone's expectations is working rather well.

I mean, 20 characters. Less than Melee.

People believe this.

Actual people.

I predict 35. Just the right amount. Like Brawl. Brawl's roster was simply fabulous, honestly one of my favorite rosters in all of fighting games. But I digress.

I'm positive we won't break 40.

Edit: I know this has nothing to do with roster numbers, but did anyone else notice how Rosalina PULLED items to her with gravity powers? Scary stuff bro. I hope she's as top tier as she looks.

It's from the TV show Community I believe.


And no, I don't think there will be less playable characters. That's not a good way to save a dying console, by having less than the previous version. Not to mention the wii u is more powerful. (Dunno bout the 3ds)

*snickers* you guys dare question the ability of sakurai's dev team? I thought the damn newcomer tralier would shake things up but no..... they made rosalina this quickly c'mon now and she wasn't a brawl port either....

I'm expecting 45-50 characters. This team can get it done.

This quickly?

She's probably been in development, along with the other priority characters, since last year. Early-ish last year.

Seems pretty standard.

Wouldn't the game then just be Brawl but replacing some characters? If Brawl had 35, and this game were to have 35... What's the difference? Lots of cuts for new characters and maybe a more competitive game, but with Toon Link showing his face, it's already apparent the cuts wouldn't be in the places most people would want them. We'd probably lose actually important characters and have a very low amount of newcomers.

I didn't expect a newcomer to be fully polished until 2014, that's when I thought the newcomers would start showing up. But we got one a month early, like I said this dev team can get it done, anyone expecting 40 or lower is silly imo. I'd say 45 is what we get.

Wow, you guys crying about a new character sound like kids, and the trolls instigating it sound like douche bags.

No wonder no one likes coming here anymore.


WALUIGI IS NO KID !! WALUIGI, AS THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN HE IS



RESOLVES
HIS


ARGUMENTS WITH INTELLIGENCE! OR BOB-OMBS. HEH HEH HEH




Note: I´m just joking. I know this gets annoying after a while. And no, i ain´t that pissed about Rosalina. I just feel like Waluigi ( who i occasionally do some roleplay) would be angry at this ( then again, he is angry with everything).

Never really thought of it that way... You certainly have a valid point my friend. Maybe we'll get 30. Or something. I dunno.

Well just because they're in a showable state doesn't quite mean they're fully polished. I suspect Sakurai could "show" any character on the roster now if he was so inclined, he probably could've since around E3, but I doubt much of the roster is at a "fully polished" state yet.

But yeah, the team is more than capable enough to handle a roster reasonable for the fourth game in the series. This is Namco making a fighting game with Nintendo money after all.

Personally, i think the game would be best with 30-35-maybe even 40 characters. Trying to pull off one of those fan rosters with 70-100 characters with Master Chief and Gordon Freeman is idiotic.

At this point now i am pretty dissapointed with Smash 4. It feels like the game is a prettier Brawl ( not that i have anything agaisn´t Brawl. I grew up playing it after all) and i ain´t really seeing anything new. But then, again, the game is still on development. And we have a long time before it comes out.

And i rewatched the trailer for Rosie. I still don´t like her being shoehorned into everything, but i admit she makes for a very interesting character. The smash series is a bit overdue for a character like her.

Not that I dislike the newcomers shown so far, but I really hope the next one is actually one with a very large amount of demand. Because other than Mega Man... we haven't really gotten much in that regard yet.

I feel like Villager was decently requested at least.
