I don't even get why this one requires an explanation.

Every series represented in Smash has content from the latest games (with the sole exceptions being Kirby and Pac-Man). Even if Sakurai didn't make Uprising, I'm sure the bulk of the Kid Icarus content in SSB4 would've been from Uprising.
Kirby has a few songs from RtDL and TD. But the point still stands.

One last comment on character portrayal before I'm off for a while: I've noticed a trend of making characters sillier or with certain traits made more exaggerated in crossovers. Even some fanbase memes are sometimes thrown in for the fun of it.

I think crossovers tend to play up comedic aspects of characters.

I've seen examples of this in Project X Zone, Street Fighter X Tekken and, of course, Super Smash Bros.

It wasn't my argument, not to mention the fact Dar Pit wouldn't be the first character to borrow a final smash, if Sakurai wanted to, he could have had said Dark Pit found shattered remains at the end of Uprising and fixed them up or something
In fact, isn't it heavily implied that SSB4 takes place after the events of Uprising?

Funny that I brought Gilgamesh up because in Dissidia, it's the same, Kefka and Gligamesh are more comedic despite Gilgamesh being rather cowardly and Kefka having a different personality in Japan

Isn't Kefka even more sadistic in the Japanese version of FF6 though :p

Does anyone remember the Palutena's Guidance for Lucario? I think having him actually be a part of Viridi's army would be really cool.

According to palutena's trailer the Chaos Kin has been defeated and we were given official confirmation Dark Pit joined the Forces of Nature so yeah it pretty much is.

Now I wish we could have seen Ivysaur's guidance so Viridi could go gaga over it.

I remember there being theories that the Dog was unaware of the Duck being on him.

... Which doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but alright.

Oh yeah.

I remember the "Duck Hunt Dog is wrong!" debates from early on, 'good' times.

What would everyone think if there was a character you could get for free by purchasing all of the DLC?

I love Kefka, as most do. I enjoy villains in general who start kind of weak though who become insanely strong (Cell is another example, though less drastic)

Dissidia in general exaggerates everyone's personalities, something that rubbed off FF fans the wrong and got toned down in the prequel (especially notable with Kuja in the prequel chapter).

Plauge Knight is INSANELY fun to play as. I can't wait to see speedruns with him, I can tell it'll be insane.

And Fem Robin can be a ***** to Lucina because this isn't canon
Considering how Lucina acted in their non-parent supports towards her, I'm more tempted to say that's payback rather then a completely out of character moment. :p

From what I've read, yes. Apparently in the original Japanese version he was just a flamboyant Exdeath, the localization made him more sillier.

What's interesting about that situation though is that Woolsey's version of the character ended up being much more popular and memorable then his original Japanese interpretation, which wasn't that well liked. So it's one of the cases where the adaptation of the character ended up having a larger and more positive presence then the original writing.

I don't know if it's less drastic.

Depends on what "all of the DLC" is.
If it's the characters and stages, sure.
If it's all the Mii costumes, then:

I wonder if they would add a second wave of challenges/event matches for the new characters and stages etc once all the DLC is done and dusted......

I mean like, the duck is part of the character. I cringe every time I see someone say "Duck Hunt Dog*" instead of "Duck Hunt (Duo)."

*DHD is the same thing but because Duck Hunt Duo exists I'm okay with it.

They say time moves slower when you look forward to something. I guess it's true.....

Or the mods don't seem to feel like updating the thread title every day.....
