unfortunately, all the qualifiers are being streamed on MLG's lame streams
Oh, MLG's streams are bad? I don't really follow any pro-gaming, but I'm trying to watch more of the Smash scene. Is there a calendar of qualifiers on MLG's website?
edit: Here I just see the MLG Anaheim event.

schedule for the 9 qualifiers
as you can see, we're about to get one for each of the next 6 weeks, including a double dip on May 4
then after that MLG/CEO/Evo are all within a 3 week span, damn that's a busy schedule coming up

No announcement, but the description matches Soul Calibur. Sixth game is next, sales numbers match as described, Namco-Bandai would be doing the hiring for it.
I think the person just got the name wrong.
Again, i think that the team working on the game 2/3 years is enough, like it was before (before DLC started). I think that nowadays it can still work like "before": part of what can make a game great is that the team has a limited amount of time to make the game and that they can only include a limited amount of content. They use the best content from what they have. I dont think that thinking, while developing the game, "we can make DLC after releasing the game" is good for the game.
Before releasing super mario 64 nintendo developed a lot more worlds and more stars that what we got. Those 120 stars were enough, even if the game was "short".
Still, even if i dont believe in DLC, i know that it makes MONEY
Oh, OK. Yeah, sounds possible. Weren't there interviews, though, or something to suggest that internally these games are being called SSB4 and SSB5 (presumably the 3DS and WiiU versions, respectively)? Doesn't prove or disprove anything, of course, but my inner hype machine would love it if they have a long-term plan for this that includes an eventual update.

Not to say all DLC ever is good, but if you honestly think games were complete on disc before DLC, you don't know what you're talking about.
Hell, even in Smash, DLC would have gotten characters in that just couldn't be finished in time.
90% of games are as complete on disc as they have always been, the only difference now is those "Hey, what if we added this thing?" ideas may actually lead to things that eventually see the light of day.

The Greninja being as flat as Paper Mario is more telling.

It listed the Wii U and 3ds as systems though, didn't it? I'll be surprised if Soulcalibur 6 is released for those two...
Yeah, and even on pc there were always expansion packs to add content to a finished game. In the right hands, Dlc is just a more efficient version of that.
Yeah, there's a lot of errors, but the use of art many have seen lots of times before was the first thing that stuck out to me.

Wii U games being released in 2015 seems equally outlandish either way.

Dunno if it would be relevant but the Ridley boss music that plays during the Metroid Trophy quiz segment is the Other M Ridley boss theme.
It gives me a bad feeling that he won't be playable if those trophies are in fact hints at series' witb playable characters but it could always be that they used music from the latest entries in the franchises, too.

I feel like the number is lower than that 90%, but otherwise I think this is fair. I also think that some games are built with "cheat DLC" in mind, like the sort found in Fire Emblem and SMTIV. I think that is also distasteful.
New to photoshop I wonder
It's also literally the only piece of discernible music from the game that that particular character in the trophy is from, so I wouldn't look too far into it. Other M's OST is just awful outside of that one song.
(in my irrelevant opinion)
A "right" way of doing DLC doesnt exist. If a team wants to add content they do it BEFORE releasing the game. Then, after proper testing the game (so it doesnt need patches after launch) they release the game with the content that they want (what they have done during the last 2/3 years, thats enough). Now, after releasing the game, the team (or some people of the team) can start working on something else (whatever nintendo wants). If they are going to make a sequel, they can use the ideas that they didnt use in this one in the sequel. End. You pay for the game once. Everyone pays for the game once, and everyone plays the same content. That content is enough or, at least, it was enough before DLC started
(in my irrelevant opinion)
Why not start when the game goes gold? That way you can potentially have the DLC ready a week before the game hits the shelves.
lol nice to see a video "leak" for a change.

Yeah, it's weird that there's only one choir boy in that fake.
Also, why does DK have a cellphone? EDIT: didn't realize it was a bomb lol

sorry, with "after releasing the game" i meant "when the game is finished" or "when the game goes gold". I meant that, after finishing the development of the game, they should start working on another thing. Thats what they would do if i was iwata lol

With how great Nintendo has handled dlc in games like FE:A and now Mario golf I would totally be ecstatic if we for smash dlc, I'd gladly pay for more characters, stages, items, etc. Biggest thing that kills it for this game is that without an account system you'd effectively have to buy the dlc twice so it probably won't happen

That thread wasn't a pretty sight...That aside, depending on what they offer, I'll bite.
Yeah, I don't think Fire Emblem's was very friendly. The Mario Golf DLC seems great, though.

It was completely optional and pure fan service, the battles themselves were fun/challenging and worth it for long time fans

I wonder if we'll ever get an update on DLC sales for that game.

I bought the dlc abilities, money pack, Future of despair, and the strongest one's name. Was worth it lol.

I love how the pixels illustrating Kirby are clearly much sharper than the pixels illustrating the stage he's in. Clearly the person making the fake put as much attention to detail as possible!

Most games overprice DLC. That is what makes it worthwhile for the company.

As in "Heathcliff"
If DLC characters got released like two weeks to a month before the tournament which didn't give people enough time to adjust to dlc characters then they would banned for that tournament until all players get enough time to get used to it.
sooo fake..
Exactly. If Sakurai wouldn't able to finishing up those characters when they hit deadline then they would be perfect batch for DLC characters then we will be happy with the content itself.
Problem is that DLC isn't guaranteed yet.

You still can pay once, but the people who like the game enough can choose to pay to get more out of it. I don't really see the issue.

If Sakurai was concerned that time would prevent him from doing everything he wanted to, I'm pretty sure we'd get DLC. That way, we avoid a Brawl situation where, presumably, characters like Mewtwo and Roy go undeveloped because time did not allow for their completion.

Additionally, what about characters who gain relevance after the game's out.
We could've had Shulk in Brawl. Characters that had a spotlight moment that is now gone like Zoroark could've had a chance
