Training and Trading characters / moves?

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Sakurai had spoken about making people "train up their characters" in 3DS version and maybe throw them in the "Stadium" that is Wii U-version.

I just started to think how it'd be like if this game took a turn like Pokemon did, and made us "train characters" in means of giving them certain boosts or maybe even a lvl up-system. There'd be also a chance to trade the characters around and of course engage into an online battle (which I hope is better than Brawl's). Moves or maybe items or other things could be distributed the same way.

I know, it's like Pokemon meeting Smash Bros. But I thought would this contribute to Sakurai's concept on "training" one's character and also help people access some characters quickly without having to get the other version incase there'll be "version exclusives".

I'm terrified at the thought.

Not really. I'm sorry. :_

I got a feeling Sakurai will either do a card system like Uprising, or something of an RPG mode. Either way, I see it as another game mode.

because if us having to level up characters was the case, that would mean that not just characters, but PLAYERS would be outright better through stats alone.

well.. i guess im trying to say that: if player A has a lvl 5 mario, player B has a lvl 9 mario, and BOTH players have the same skill in terms of using mario, which one are you willing to bet on?

but if the lvl-ups are just cosmetic, thats a different
