First, I have never acted as an authorityy. Secondly, my predictions for Melee and Brawl, and Smash 4 (with the exception of two characters that no one else saw coming) were accurate.
Yep, and this is why you're irritating.

"My predictions were accurate". "I guessed 1 out of 3 of the revealed characters so my predictions are accurate". "Mega Man was on 95% of character lists, doesn't matter because my predictions are accurate." "I guaranteed one of Little Mac, Ridley or K Rool would be shown at the Direct, and they weren't shown, but my predictions were accurate".

I'm riled up now, so I'm going to go play as Mewtwo or Roy in the US version of Brawl. Oh wait...

You think he was trolling us the whole time so his reveal would be more of a surprise, or did he genuinely change his mind?
I think he genuinely changed his mind. Comments post-Brawl indicated Sakurai was thinking about ways the Villager could function, so I believe he looked at the possibility again and found a way to make it work to his liking. Though the series hasn't got any less peaceful, so he still contradicted himself.

I think he changed his mind. He did talk about thinking of a Animal Crosser moveset involving nets. Maybe it just did not fit the more serious, color-muted, Roman Colosseum fighting style of Brawl.

I think it'd be easier to name people who didn't support Diddy, Wario, King Dedede, Lucas, Sonic etc...

We're talking about the same guy who GUARANTEED that Mewtwo/Roy would be the US version of Brawl and that one of Little Mac, Ridley or King K Rool would be shown at the Nintendo Direct.
I was talking more about Ike, Olimar, Lucario, etc. Less likely characters

He never guaranteed anything. He just said they had good chances.

Lay off him. You just got here. Why do you hate him?

Sakurai just needs to do what he did with like the ice climbers and the rest of the others that he was going to add in.

I'll admit I may have been one to take this a little too seriously but...I just don't like the idea of more cuts even if it's been a possibility all this time.
I can understand the cuts from Melee to Brawl being time constraints but when it's due to system connectivity?...
*indifferent*

That is, if the translation is correct and us who are thinking of it as cuts are right. I want to be proven wrong so bad.

I'm getting deja vu all over again because people are reacting the EXACT SAME WAY when Sakurai made almost the exact same comments about third party characters, character cuts, and the overall size of the roster back in 2006...

This is a good thing. Now the elitest douche bags can shut up about SSB4 being too similar to Brawl.
Deal is, maybe it's just me. But to me the game seems to have a more competitive focus than Brawl. I've been saying it since the trailer on Tuesday, but so far the gameplay is looking good. Here's to hoping we get legit cancels and stuff.

I immediately thought of Sokka from that TLA episode about love and fortunes.


Me being an apathetic outsider gets me all the *****es. :awesome:
Hahahahaha, dude, he's right.

I never though that show would give such sage advice. Though to be fair, there's also "strike while iron is hot."

Why would you expect anything different from such a demanding and insatiable fanbase? :troll:

We really need to stop holding what this guy says as the law of the land.
Just wait and see what's final because, we tend to forget that he is human and that he can change his mind

Just wanted to bring this up again since most people are awake now.
I still think the transition is far too quick to be reduced recovery on her FTilt and reduced startup on her FSmash.
Interesting.

Also, drop kick is said to be Bowser's new dash attack. I don't know what that bodes for my posible Alpha Counter observation. =S

EDIT: Now that I think about it, dash cancelling might be involved. YAY!
Yes, I'm aware that important changes can still be made to the game since it's still in development.

And no one liked it. Brawl wasn't the great game everyone expected.

No Megaman, Cut Mewtwo, add Tripping, tons of wasted memory space on Trials of games, movies for SSE, etc. that could have been used on characters, stages, and items that were cut from the series.

64 to Melee had no cuts and that was popular!

I guess.

I just hope that people stay in the game.

Although I find it interesting that Sakurai never bluntly said cuts. Perhaps none are planned at this point and that they're gonna stuff as many characters as they can in?

I did not guarantee the former or even say anything about it., and Little Mac is still supposedly going to be for the first round of newcomers. I very rarely say this, but you are pretty much a troll.

By IceClimbers I mean that they were made out of nothing. Like Captain Falcon.

Brawl's roster is only about 2GB. It's not a memory issue guys. He's having problems programming. Besides, there are other things we can cut first. We don't need a million trophies.

I have "butthurtitis" now because I don't like the idea of characters leaving the game?

Looks like I need a second opinion from a different physician because the one I have now seems to have a bad case of cynicism

Sakurai wants full roster back but he is stating that it may not happen due to time constraints which was the case with Brawl.

We all set our expectations too high.

I thought the Masterpieces were pretty cool, though, even if they didn't give us the Earthbound trial in the US version.

I think the drop kick is his smash attack.
At 1:01 we can see his dash attack it's like DK's dash attack

People wouldn't be treating the Villager as some undesirable nearly as much if it weren't for Sakurai's statements pretty much telling us not to expect him. Had we not got them, he would've been one of the more popular candidates, and people wouldn't begrudge a "character no one wanted" got in over some other ones. That one is Sakurai's doing.
I EXPECTED Villager in SSB4. I even had him in my list of possible likely newcomers for SSB4 and I kept posting it here over and over. But most people here didn't even consider that Sakurai is, in fact, capable of changing his mind.

Only thing that really is certain in relation to what he said with characters is that some are having programming issues. If it was a size issues, I would honestly wonder how that would effect Pokemon X & Y more than Smash at the moment.

60 people viewing this thread right now. Dang, that's more than during the Direct.

That's my brother, haha. But seriously, the whole CONCEPT of Smash Brothers is watching our favorite characters duke it out. If our favorite characters are removed, then don't we have every right to be disappointed?
