About the Ice Climbers...What's your opinion of them and the 3DS problems?
A cut is a little unlikely,but personally,I don't care about them.
I only believe that's its only a minor roadblock,
sakurai and his team will eventually get past it, and when he does, I believe he will show them off at the very last moment, (a few months before the game is released)
ice climbers are now an important part of smash, it would be baffling to see them get cut, especially seeing how they are one of sakurai's favorites

I honestly think that the 3DS's limitations are exaggerated. This isn't the N64 people. The 3DS should be able to handle multiple Ice Climbers and Pikmin.

The 3DS isn't as limited as people think, if that was the case Sakurai wouldn't make a Smash Bros game on it, he above all else should know where its limitations are since he worked on Uprising.

It's not going to get any character cut.

But at what cost?
We haven't seen him having 5 Pikmin yet, though. Only 3...

-----
The 3 Pikmin limit actually makes sense since they are much bigger this time around and having 5 Pikmin would be overkill in terms of Olimar's recovery and balance in this game. Unless, Sakurai has another idea of a recovery for him. In the end, we just have to wait and see by mid 2014 in order for him to spill the beans on the subject.

Y'know, I just realized that we're now on page 1337.

I think Meta Knight might actually be revealed first.
He was the first Brawl newcomer revealed, and revealed more than a year before Dedede, despite Dedede being a part of the Kirby series since the start and having more roles.

Avatar fight!
but anyway, lets start a topic,
if you had to combine two characters, that have appeared playable in smash, and make them a tag team, who would you choose, (for an example think of Ice Climbers)
mine would be Pikachu and pichu, that'll be sweet.

Lucas + Wario = Lucario. Dun dun duuuun!

Ok, Mario and Luigi.

I'm starting to think predicting character reveals is almost pointless. As soon as we started catching on to characters being revealed on important dates theory, we went a month without any sort of reveal. But then again, it was very odd to reveal Toon Link, Sonic, and Olimar so early, do maybe there is a point. I don't know, I just want to see more reveals, items, and stages be revealed. For Brawl we got something interesting every day.

The screenshots of the past week were pretty cool.

At least the confirmation of Rosalina as a secret character in 3D World gave us something interesting to talk about.

ITT: People still act as there is a "The" Toad and that glorified items (Pikmin) are comparable to two characters at the same time (Ice Climbers).

As much as that sounds delightful, I do not see any new characters being revealed for a while. I can see Zelda being revealed next week but that is about it.

Would Starfy be a starter or an unlock able? From the point of view of North America and the point of view of Japan.

If Zelda gets revealed soon, when would Sheik be revealed?
Sheik was the last character revealed before Brawl's release, so it'll probably be some kind of filler reveal again when they don't have anything else to reveal. I for one hope that she's revealed alongside Zelda, since she's the fun part of Zelda to me.

Still up Peach's dress.

Honestly Golden, I think it's going to take a while to debunk the Americanized concept of a singular Toad as a character opposed to the species as a whole, particularly when there's been several playable Toads through people's childhoods that tended to get grouped together.
I mean you only brought it to the attention of us about a month ago and it's going to take a while to get around.

Well, aside from Captain Toad who is a Toad called Toad. Does he count as an official "Toad" the Toad now?

Unless your opponent is mentally handicapped, they'll usually die before they return to you, or alternatively do absolutely nothing and waste an attack.
Whether or not your Pikmin die or haven't returned yet, you don't have 3 more to throw in the mean time.

You know mentally handicapped could probably be really good at Smash. I mean if they're an idiot savant .

So I was browsing stuff on the internet and ended up exploring the PSABR wiki, and found some fan rosters in the files section.

Look who's using the recency...uh...what's the word? Recency argument? Recency clause? Can someone help me? :anime sweat drop:
I like that Red wasn't replaced by the Kalos Trainer, though.


Last is another SSB/PSABR roster, made by DarKingdomHearts:

I must say that I like this one, as it has every veteran from Smash (including the removed Melee characters), and has Ridley, Shulk, Sora, Cloud, Crash, and Spyro.
It also has the planned PSABR characters and a few playable Minions.
Krystal has a scary **** face.

So yeah, post your thoughts, critique, etc.
I'm probably gonna get in trouble for posting these without their permission, but oh well.

-----

Well the general idea of Nintendo and Sony making a game is a pipe dream. The only way for it to happen is if we sacrifice the first born son and daughter of the chosen king. And we don't know who that is......So yeah.

Wait.....Where's Protoman? This roster disappoints.

The bigger concern with only having 3 Pikmin is for most attacks, because the bigger restriction providing less. The throw is not going to be heavily effected, but general attacks, aerials, and throws will be effected. Because one of the reasons why Olimar was really effective in Brawl was because of his Pikmin providing both diversity and unpredictability, combined with his generally tiny frame and effective aerial game and throws.

I think 3 Pikmin is the quickest balance patch Olimar could've gotten.
This way the Pikmin aren't spammed like there's no tomorrow, while still packing a freaking punch if his opponent manages to dodge the Pikmin storm thrown his way.
