I believe JavaCroc said something about many core gamers would buy the Wii U just for this game, which I will expand upon.
What he said shows how critical it is for SSB4 to deliver on each and every single front. Because core gamers for the most part are very frustrated with Nintendo's recent practice, Sakurai needs to recognize that the faith of Nintendo's core audience almost entirely lies on his hand. Why? Because we are gamers have extremely high expectations for it and I don't mean to be cruel, but he must make a near perfect game with minimal mistakes. If he ends up screwing one part of the game {Roster, stages, online, etc.}, Nintendo will likely have no choice but to give up trying to bring the lost core gamers back and convert casual gamers to hard core gamers themselves.
Because I think millions of core gamers will decide whenever or not to get the Wii-U based off this game, it is very important that Sakurai takes a very long time on this game and brush it to perfection. If the game is a let down in expectations, that shaves off sales of the Wii-U.
And with that, I ask you all a question:
If SSB4 ends up disappointing you to the point where you decide not to buy it/go sell it after being disappointed, will you
still buy a Wii-U/keep your Wii-U?
Personally, I would keep my Wii-U (If I have bought one by then) but for other games as there's more to my reason for buying a Wii-U then just Smash, although I wouldn't play it as much.

Yea, how weird would it be if we actually saw Master Chief on the 3DS, people would be like:
"OMG! Master Chief for SSB4!!"
I hope this isn't the case. One game may make him eligible for SSB4, but he is not a very deserving character just because of that. If we get a fourth slot, it should go to someone like Ryu Hayabusa, Professor Layton, or Slime.

Anyway, I heard Colors way way better than 06', even unleashed was better, I dunno though.
Trust me, they are both much better then I assume '06 would be.

Guys I'm worried about the Wii U control.... I'm sure everyone here is.
I've heard its not precise. Some say it feels good and comfortable. But I'm very skeptical about it.
Right now I'm not worried about Smash Brothers because if they screw up again and make another brawl well another Project M will happen but the control is whats leaving me worried.
Hopefully Nintendo can change the console a bit to add gamecube ports or if not make an adapter for Usb to connect gamecube controls.
But ahhhh it worries me
The only way we'll know for sure is when we try it. Until then, relax.

I wonder if SSB4 will ever break this record?. O_O
That depends on the following circumstances:
- If we do not get universal rosters.
- If the roster is at least 44 slots.
- The online doesn't suck.
- The game is considered as good if not better then the previous titles.
- How well the Wii-U sells.
It will need all three for us to say it has a chance of breaking that.

Here are some exceptionally terrible rosters made for Brawl. I love how the fourth one has Barney.
EDIT: And apparently Miyamoto too.
God those rosters were downright horrible. The first one will never be realistic, period.

You gotta admit, that would be awesome.
