It's about the stage's setup, i guess? the thing that was bothering me also ties into new fighters so... yeah.

why are both games missing a stage? Smash wiiU, once it gets the miiverse stage that is, will have one of the layers of the layouts of the stages missing one. the 3ds version is also missing a stage from that perfect lineup. the question is: why have a stage missing in the first place? and more importantly: why is one of the missing two slots on the stage selecting in the wiiU version... on the last row, where the 3rd party's stages are? is it because they are adding a 3rd party fighter and having a stage to go along with it? or are they having the miiverse stage down there? and that means a stage from smash, or a mario stage would be new at that point, since the other missing stage that would fit the bill is on the top.

Sakari would not put something like this in a game without reason.

For the 3DS version, to have a spot for "DLC Stages". Kinda like the Mii Fighter slot, since that category catches a large number of characters.

Not a clue on the U version. Perhaps the same thing, but that seems less likely to me.

Wasn't Hanenbow and a Dr. Mario stage cut from the game? I know theres data for a Virus stage boss (the Viruses from Dr Mario) and wasn't one file named plankton? (which was the file's name for the Hanenbow stage in Brawl.) Who knows, we might get stage dlc for both system *shrugs*

but that still does not make sense unless one was for wiiu and one was for 3ds. there will be one stage missing from both games and it has me puzzled.

yeah. they have 1 stage missing after miiverse comes to wiiu.

"Sakari" isn't riddled with OCD. Him and his development team aren't trying to make the character screen into a perfect square, and they aren't trying to make the stage list into a perfect square. This is NO way hints towards DLC. Maybe there will be dlc stages, maybe not, but the deciding factor won't be to make the stage selection screen look pretty. Plus whenever they want, they can reorganize how the stages look. If for some reason they are concerned with the layout of the stage select screen, they can move it around. I can't possibly imagine how they could have designed this game without people finding a way to say " it's built like that because there's totally dlc coming!". Like how they put dr.mario and lucina in the bottom row with the third party characters and not with the other characters in their franchises . Doesn't mean anything at all.

well EXCUSE me for focusing on the stages... wait. do you REALY think they would leave 1 stage in each game missing? that seem like an oversight. more importantly, like i said: why is it gone in the first place, and why is one of the missing stages in the wiiu version on the bottom row?

I NEVER said ANYTHING about OCD. all I said was he would not put something out there without a reason. it's not like sakari to do something like that.

Yes it is like Sakurai. I know you didn't say anything about OCD, I did. He doesn't have a compulsive need to make everything even, and to make every character have the same number of stages. He doesn't need a reason to NOT include a stage. We have the most stages out of any smash bros game, and the most characters. If he makes DLC, it's not to make an even stage list. It's because he wants to give the fans more than they bargained for. You're just being hopeful. Leaving out stages isn't an oversight, he included way more stages than he needed to, and way more characters. This game is packed full of content, it's not lacking content to put DLC in. He's actually openly stated he doesn't like the idea of DLC because it gives the impression that he sold people half of a game and is charging for the other half. Mewtwo was an unplanned bonus for fans. If you need more evidence go take a look at the Brawl and Melee stage select screens. Both of which are uneven, and not allocated to 1 stage per character.

melee had uneven sides because of how the stages where played out. HOWEVER: brawl's main stages where smetrical if you straitened them out.

i am unconvinced that they would have a stage missing for no reason. in both games, no less. i'm not convinced about a 3rd party fighter 100%, but... a stage will be coming some time in the future.

Haven't we been over this a thousand times before?
Blank spaces don't mean a THING
and all of those things hinting to a gen 3 remake for pokemon mean not- OH WAIT

You need to make the distinction between hoping and knowing.

You're overanalysing this. Unsymmetric layouts doesn't mean DLC. Not everyone agrees that things has to be perfectly symmetric to look good.

go to My Music on the wii u version. The Menu becomes an icon. That plus miiverse makes the Wii U Stage select screen a perfect grid
