I meant just exusive characters sorry. You said a universal roster would seem lazy and uncreative but if they add 3ds exclusive characters that can be transferred over, that seems cheap and unfair. It seems like a get rich quick scheme: in order to enjoy ssb4 in it's entirety, dish out 100 dollars (40 for 3ds version and 60 for wiiu) not including system costs. While the game is well worth the price tag that idea is both unfair in these economic times and a slimy move from nintendo who aims to make their games accessible to everyone. Not only that but if everything (everything you mentioned besides characters) could be transferred, then the 3ds version would only act as a way to unlock the whole game on the wiiu and since it would have virtually nothing to set it apart, it would become useless.
Hmm.. You brought up a good ponit and i see where you are coming from, what I mainly see as transferable characters are the specifically the Mii's obviously if you have your Mii on your Wii-U system and want to transfer him over than putting it that way would surely make sense.I meant just exusive characters sorry.

IMO the rosters should be the same and all exclusives should remain that: exclusive meaning non-transferrable. The two devices could connect and interact in different ways than just unlocking parts of the wiiu version
KOS-MOS sounds like a very cool character, I love Xenosaga, and cant wait for Xenoblade for the Wii. (yes I'm optimistic)
You are assuming that most people think of 45-50 character slots with universal roster, which I disagree with. I don't see many people stating this, so this is purely your interpretation. Most of the time, when I see people talk about universal roster, they think about a 35-45 slot roster. People do not think as highly of this as you think and they certainly realize the consequences of us getting universal roster. As for those who expect 45-50 slots on the 3DS and Wii-U, I still think that's too much.
You do realize that we are on different pages when it comes to expectations in regards to universal rosters, right? You expect ~50, I only expect 35-40 slots. Put yourself in my shoes before stating misinterpretations like that.
I personally regard approximately and 50ish as the same thing. Also, like I said, we don't know if Sakurai will take the time to properly compress the game to get characters in. I'm sure if he does, we'll get a mid-40s roster, but there is no telling whenever or not he does that.
Portables are for more on the go gaming. Why would sakurai make an 8 hour story mode even longer for on the go gaming. also show me where he says he doesn't want to expand the roster. Not where he says he doesn't want to just expand the roster but where he says he doesn't like the idea of adding more characters. Also show me that sakurai has a habit of not compressing his games before we jump to the conclusion that ssb4 wont be compressed. You talk alot about how smash is a fan service game and how sakurai does things sometimes based mainly on fan support but then turn around and say he'll ignore the demand for more characters? Do you really think sakurai would limit the wiiu version to such extremes? If he wants to expand the series this is not the way to do it. You should believe that if a universal roster would mean an extremely watered down wiiu version he wouldn't do it and iirc you dont have a 3ds yet and so far it hasnt been pushed to it's limits so you are blindly undermining it's power. You need more faith lol
Have you heard this one yet?
Don't you mean the 3DS??@omega
The 3ds as it is right now can handle brawl in it's entirety and will still have about a gig of unused memory. Many people have stated that characters don't take up a lot of space. So yes I am inclined to believe the current ideas we are throwing around for the wiiu version can fit on the 3ds.
With that being said I think EVERYONE in this thread is underestimating the power of the wiiu. Iirc the wiiu discs can handle 25 gigs. That's enough for almost 4 brawls. If the wiiu is stuffed to the brim in content much like brawl was then there is no way the 3ds can handle it.
Yea miis can be transferrable but people like issac or starfy (if they were to get in)
I agree with SBBFan, she is unlikely to happen, she isn't a heavily requested character like Ridley or Bowser Jr., maybe as an AT.
What Megaman game is this from? What game do you recommend as far as classic goes?
What do you mean by this list? As playable characters? Anyway here's what I like (in Red)
What song is it supposed to be? I don't get the joke...
Lol. I just heard that one, it's a cool theme.
I was talking about bosses, not playable characters.
You're kind of going off on a lot of assumptions here: Sakurai may not want to expand the roster, Sakurai may want to build off the SSE (which itself assumes he wants to add the SSE to the 3DS version), Sakurai may plan out a story mode before considering characters. Sure, I'll concede that they're all possibilities, but that's why we judge how likely possibilities are. I mean, It's pretty safe to assume he would expand the roster. We know Sakurai plans on having a single-player focus on the 3DS version, but that doesn't mean SSE 2. I'm not really sure where you're going with this compression stuff. He would have to plan the story around the characters he had already planned? The story is going to fit around the characters.
I can assure you it is not purely my interpretation. The only people I see misinterpreting the universal roster concept, and promoting different rosters for different versions, are a few on here. Also there's no consequence of getting a universal roster other than having ~50 characters (oooh see below) on both systems, lol.
Oh for goodness' sake. :/
The versions are surely going to be very different from each other. Roster size surely wouldn't be one of those differences. The differences would probably be graphics and content. You said yourself characters is what people enjoy the most. If the 3DS version can have all the characters from the WiiU version, then why the hell not?
Slots?
I like the King Zing idea. I'll put it on the list.
Really? I would think it would be any boss from DKCR -except- Tiki Tong, considering he does so little to differentiate himself from Master Hand himself, who will inevitably be in there. Who knows...maybe the giant robot chicken will show up or something.
May I ask what source you're talking about in your post?
It's not a real leak, but I want to see how long it takes for someone to find the source of the music.
