I don't think anyone is suggesting exclusive characters, just ones that show up initially on the Wii U version to help boost hype and flesh out the roster. Personally I'd also like it if the 3DS roster didn't have the large amount of empty space... I don't know why they just didn't resize the character boxes to be rectangles and just fit in the exact amount of characters there if there are no more.
I don't really like the ToS leak, myself, because,
As far as I know there is no limit on how many modes the game can get... who knows what else we don't know yet right now...
Regarding five characters when there's only room for 4. Remember during the E3 Treehouse streeming and someone from Nintendo mentioned that Miis take up the Random select slot when customization is turned on? Perhaps after these supposed five are added to the roster, Miis require you to turn on customization in order for them to show up, and then they take up the random select slot. Since this is the 3DS version and everyone has their own CSS to work with, doing it this way wouldn't hurt those who want to use random select. If you want to use a Mii you know what specific character you want, so random select isn't needed.

It DOES seem really starnge.
I actually kind of like this leak. It's quite possible both the ToS and this leak are both true. I mean, King Dedede DOES throw Gordos now rather than Waddle Dees... And the descriptions for both trailers seem somewhat Sakurai-ish... And a lot of the stages kinda match the ToS leak, though of course whoever made this leak could have just been mooching off of it. I'm very skeptic of this leak, so I'll just be sticking with ToS for now.
For the guys
He could of simply not addressed everything. Maybe he just thought the characters we wanted to know about were the ones he should mention. Bandanna Dee isn't as popular as the other guys after all...
how is wii u exclusive characters unfair to 3ds players, if they want the exclusive characters they have to get the wii u like everyone else would. 3ds is smash 4 and wii u is 5 there diffrent games tech
It's unfair because they don't get the same characters. There's a ton of content, and far more on the Wii U version. So you already got a lot more stuff. That's more than enough.
Endless Ocean was a game for the Wii. I think the Game Grumps played it once.
The Tower of Smash leak has a stage related to "Kirby: Return to Dream Land", an awesome Wii game in which four players could play as Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Bandanna Dee. The fact that the game has already been heavily referenced in both versions of Smash and that King Dedede no longer throws Waddle Dees as his side attack, could mean we will be receiving Bandanna Dee as a character (though possibly as DLC, as the ToS leak may not have mentioned him because he may not be in the game upon release, whereas the Final Five will be).
I never thought of that possibility. Hopefully we'll see some more stages soon. If they aren't returning, we may have more evidence that's convincing.

That area shown in the picture is not Mt Dedede, it's Great Cave Offensive.
Thats not bad
Yeah, and if there IS that much more content on WiiU then everyone who bought the 3ds version would have to buy the Wiiu version, giving money to Nintendo. Obviously a horrible and illogical business decision.
A terrible business decision would be to hold back the wii u's potential of having more and more stuff due to a version that already released for another console, the 3ds. They can't make the wii u version less than the 3ds version if they want to scale up the wii u sales and the game itself. Personally I think the 3ds version in general was a terrible idea because it's only hurting the chances of what the wii u version could be, but well that's just my opinion right there.
There already is more content anyway. More music per stage and Trophies is pretty much confirmed. Try again, dude. Fully exclusive characters is just going to piss people off. A few more characters that you can definitely get on the 3DS version won't. It's just incentive to get both. Which is fine. Nobody has to get both. As long as the characters are the same, the one that has the content you outright prefer is the brest choice. You never have to worry about which one controls better overall(since all characters play exactly the same), and the demo outright gave you the chance to see if you prefer the regular 3DS controls(or 2DS/3DS XL).
That's what a logical fan would say, but from a business point of view the extra incentive to buy both is worth holding back a few characters. It may piss people off, but it makes sense fron their point of view.
And they will still be available on the 3DS. Or there may not be a single timed exclusive at all. It'll still sell due to the massive content and unique modes anyway. It's Smash. It sells. Never mind the more usable controller options. I'm not worried at all. Nor is there a reason to be at this point. You severely underestimate how much the known exclusive content will do to help it sell.
Yes, it'll sell, but my point is that if there are extra characters it will sell better. Once again, I'm just trying to think from nintendo's point of view.
To be honest, if it has extra characters it has a good chance of taking away sales from the 3DS version. That's not a good business decision. So it can go either way. I'd like to see what'll happen, but I don't even care if it's the final roster even with DLC. We have a huge roster anyway.
Smash's gold is the characters, if there is nothing new regarding that, everyone will stick to the cheapest version of the game which is the 3ds version. That's bad business if you want to get the wii u version get sold, and i doubt that it will sell that "much" just with different stages and modes. Anyone who has been playing smash all this time knows this. I think it will have extra characters and whatever its necessary , a patch or dlc, will be done to keep both rosters the same. But one thing is for sure, right now, the wii u needs more than just new stages and one or 2 different modes to get ppl hyped enough to buy either both console and the game or just the game if you have already the console.
Wrong.
First off, i'm not speaking for everyone , but for a big group of fans worldwide, which is totally different. Lucky you that you can get both, I wish I had that much money. Also....just maybe as my opinion speaks about just a big group ppl who aren't gonna be satisfied with a control option and a few modes, you speak of some people who will be satisfied witih that, so in the end, we are both speaking about big groups with different ways to be satisfied, no need to be rude against the group i talk about when im not rude about those who you talk about, just so you know. Just as I realize that everybody is different, you do it as well then.
Well he really is a sci-fi mistery in Smash 4 at the moments *chuckles* Maybe Sakurai is doing it in purpose as some Alien suspense vibe and wants to keep fans in fear till the last moment lol.
" everyone will stick to the cheapest version of the game" Absolutely zero context made me think you meant "some groups". It doesn't exist. I had no way to read it differently. I get what you mean now, but that's later on.
