Why so many blank boxes on the Official Site?

Sakurai confirmed a few weeks ago that Mewtwo was the only DLC character. So why is there so many blank spaces on site? I just find this odd. What do you guys think about this?

Graphical formatting. Doesn't always have to make sense.

Or maybe they'll fill 'em in with the hidden characters later.

It's nothing. I agree with Raijinken, it's just graphical formatting. It's leftover space. What, did they have to think about the design of the 3DS CSS, Wii U CSS AND the website formatting when coming up with the total number of characters for the roster?

i dont know.. they could've just made it slide/scroll or move one character at a time instead of making it pages...

Just leftover space, since it scrolls by nine but the roster isn't a multiple of nine.

This actually came up a lot with the Brawl site while it was in progress. Some weren't satisfied unless every row had four characters, and Sheik is just there ruining it for them.

Well one slot could be like the secret characters, except be DLC characters, and could include the DLC characters like :mewtwopm::wolf::lucas::popo:

It's nothing, just leftover junk. If you view this on your mobile device, you'll see less spaces. It's just filler boxes for the last page.

People look into this way too much.

As everyone else said, just leftover spaces. Unless Sakurai mentions more DLC, there is no more DLC.

its honestly a bad design choice on their part
You're the only person here who is put off by it. You're never going to please everyone, even if it's something as mundane as web page design. Considering the majority of people aren't put off by it, it doesn't seem to be that bad of a design choice. You just happen to be a part of the unlucky minority. Just like I'm a part of the unlucky minority of Krystal supporters.

As said before, it varies with browser size. It looks perfect on some and incomplete on others.
but like i said, they could have just gone with a slider or scroll one by one instead of doing it by pages.

well if it causes any kind of misinterpretation or confusion then i feel that its a poor design choice. majority of people aren't put off by it because its not like they spend much time on the site. and if my opinion somehow makes me unlucky then so be it.

Everyone really needs to stop thinking way too much about stuff like this. :/

Sorry if this topic is just completely stupid but, after E3 all the boxes at the bottom were filled on my phone and PC. I just find it strange that they were able to do that back then compared to now. And I don't think there is anymore DLC, I just find this to be odd.

But a pointless question, nonetheless.
A question so pointless that you had to answer it with a point. So far it has yielded different answers; that it looks different on a mobile browser. There are people who don't know that so it's not entirely pointless. In-fact, people might not have ever seen those boxes as you need to view a characters page and scroll to the very bottom. The empty boxes mean nothing to me, but when someone says "looking too far into it" when it was just a question... I find it odd. OP did not go into detail as to why the boxes are there and that it does truly mean there is DLC. As I'm saying, it was just a simple question.

And as I said before, people really need to stop thinking way too much about stuff like this and stop asking pointless questions. And furthermore, there's nothing "odd" about blank boxes as there were just leftovers and forgot to take them out. Speculating too much about those takes us nowhere.

No, but there's something odd when one thinks it's looking too far into it when it was a simple question. Chances are this question was asked before, and there was speculation and lots of pointing fingers that people were grabbing at straws. Not everyone frequents the boards daily -- and there are a lot of boards (too many). Just because you've had enough it doesn't mean that it was a bad question. I'm saying OP didn't try to convince anyone about anything. Had he made out that he truly believes it could be DLC and gave reasons for it, it would be grasping. His question couldn't be any simpler.

"hey what are these boxes?"

"just clutter. don't worry about it".

I'm in a bad mood. Nothing of it.

its only pointless to you because you already know the answer.
