the amount of characters?

[TBone06]

I dont know, but when I was watching the vids from the demo, every time I saw the character select screen I thought that there looked like there was not a lot of room for other characters. I know there will be more, but there are 14 on the screen and it looks like there isnt a lot of room for more. Anyone else have this thought?

Wasn't that just a demo? Maybe the full version will have a different screen, or smaller-sized character boxes.

 

[HotelDusk215]

Im guessing smaller boxes.

It's a demo... nuff said.

less characters on screen=larger character boxes
more characters=smaller boxes.
Its quiet simple.

Someone actually made copies of those boxes and checked to see how many he could fit, and found that there could be as many as 42 on that screen. Its somewhere in the Brawl General Discussion area. Its a bit clunky since several drop alongside the character display area, but it wouldn't take much shrinking to fit them nicely all above that.

At ease bro. I'm willing to bet that screen is just more of Sakurai's mindgames, to get you to think that there won't be that many more characters added to Brawl. Worry not, for Sakurai will come up with the goods. Oh it's true, it's oh so true.

lol,
but yes that was just the demo they will probably hav smaller boxes

 

[Yitsul]

I felt the same way too :/

 

[error_alt_delete]

makes sense to me. its all in sakurais hands.

 

[Talendime]

Yeah because they're so much bigger than the ones in Melee. I just realized this too..

I wouldn't worry about it either..

If I read it the way you wrote it I would have picked up on the joke. If that makes sense.

-_-;;
Fail...

Anyways, when I saw that screen I was afraid. I kept thinking that That was the final screen but sometimes I just knew it wasn't. I hope it ain't though. That'd be disappointing. =/

omg dude chill.

Read slower; analyze.


Don't feel embarrassed..

 

[PrettyGoodYear]

LOL, that was the epic fail.

EDIT:

Aww, don't. That was funny. Kruton's reaction just made it hilarious XD

Anyway... I posted this on another forum:

Fact 1: Melee had 26 characters. 6 Of them were clones. Adding Shiek in the notation we had 19(20) original characters. Brawl has MORE THAN DOUBLE the development time, not to mention it's easier to develop for the Wii, so a double of that original roster (even a little slightly more) is not impossible.

Fact 2: As stated, it's easier to develop for the Wii.

Fact 3: Some things were carried over from Melee. Hal provided many tools for this. Sakurai did say characters were built from the ground up, but looking closely, it does look like they at least recycled some animations. Who knows what else they carried over, but they are saving some time there.

Fact 4: They have more staff now too, that is obvious.

Fact 5: All characters in the Dojo are more than probably starters. The only possible exceptions are Sonic and Snake, plus the un-announced third party. It depends, if Sakurai changed his mind and made them starters or not, but they were probably shown for publicity. All of those people that said Sonic was going to probably be the last character revealed were wrong, and I betted against them from the start. It's just wouldn't have been a smart comercial move to keep him hidden until the very end.

Fact 5.5/Slight Prediction: Now lets count. There are 22 characters revealed. Factor in the PKMN Trainer and Zamus and we have 20(23) characters in the Dojo. That is already approximating The Melee number, so it could go way over that. We still have to see some veterans and there are probably more newcomers.

Prediction 1: There will more than probably be more unlockables than Melee. That's a no-brainer.

Prediciton 2: Unlockables (sans the possibility of third parties) will probably begin to be revealed on the japanese release date. ***Maybe even not until the american one, but since we'll know the full roster (unofficially) by then at least.

BUMP!

To be honest, I think the truth ^^^to that statement just killed this thread.

Oh me oh my, quoted for the absolute truth!
