I mean, on the one hand, I'd prefer we get different characters than the ones shown in the leak (Dr. Mario? Really? And Dark Pit?).
But on the other hand, I'm not going to be horribly upset if this IS the final roster. It's pretty good.
I will just have to get used to it. I'm not anti-clone at all. Dr. Mario does, if nothing else, confirm that previously cut veterans have a chance to return later, which is at least something good. And with MK8 releasing characters new and previously-cut through DLC, Smash also gives me that feeling.
But. the hype level is just too damn low.
Pre-Brawl I was stoked for so much. Pokemon Trainer! Sonic! Olimar! Meta Knight! Wario! Snake!
So many awesome characters!
This time around... the only newcomer that's been officially revealed thus far that I care about is Robin. Within this leak's newcomers, honestly only Bowser Jr interests me. Ridley, Dixie, K Rool, etc haven't been seen/confirmed aside from rumor. That coupled with my two favorite characters from Brawl being cut just... kills it for me, kind of. Which really sucks because I had been so damn hyped. But now it's deflating. I'm still getting the games. But I'm just not as interested.
The game will still be great. It'll probably be a better
game than Brawl is. But the roster just blergh. Up until DLC, at least. We shall see.
