Question about DLC of Smash Bros (file size)

[Madwario]

Hi. Ive noticed how big Smash is (about 14.7 gb i think?) and ive read that there will be about 30 dlc added to the game (most are echoes i think).

A bigger roster is always nice, but my question is, does anyone know if added content will put data over Smash Bros (like 14.7 gb + 1 more gb or so per DLC) or if all the data is in the 14.7 gb big file and it will just use a part of the file to unlock the characters? As in, all the data of the DLC is in the game?

As im like 1 gb from having to buy a Micro SD card.

Thanks in advance:3

There hasn't been 30 DLC confirmed yet. Only 5 are confirmed.

You probably just saw that there are enough spare slots in the code to fit 30. But that's probably just in the code so it's easier for them to sort out how the roster looks somehow. (I'm not a coder so idk man)

Oh okay. Five after Piranha Plant or?

 

[SvartWolf]

yup, there is only 5 characters besides Piranha plant actually confirmed.

The slots thing feels more like:
Code team: hey how many slot we put to make slot for DLC?
Sakurai :hmmm not sure if we are having additional DLC yet, but put 30, we aren't doing more than 30, thats for sure.
Code team: *laughs* ok!

Oh thats good to know. After seeing Ryu as a DLC hopefully these will shock us somehow. Imagine a Heihachi DLC

I'd say we may get another pack or two but that all depends on how things will go for the future. If the future pack sells well, I don't see why they can't make a second one

Anyone knows how the DLC sale went in Smash4?
