I'm just figuring that Nintendo is going to want to have people double dip and characters is the easiest way to do that.
I'm not saying that is the only way I want them to handle it though.regular DLC would be just fine with me.

This comparison makes absolutely no sense.
Especially when Nintendo rolls out a new version of said system that fixes those limitations.
While he was my most unwanted character, I hate to admit that Shulk seems fun to play as.
At least he has a better alt than his ugly ass clothes! (yes, any alt is better than his default.)
I wonder if we'll see Neiteio filling the next 100 pages with pics of Shulk's crocs
Agree on both accounts. So ugly, but looks really fun.

You think two months is comparable to six (and then a year), several characters being reskins?
This is a pretty awful comparison.

This is the biggest thing. Especially since we've known the 3DS was drastically underpowered since Pokémon XY couldn't even keep frame rate.

Exactly. You guys know for a fact Nintendo won't roll out some "New 3DS" exclusive DLC because it's not fair to previous 3DS owners.

Yeah, I stopped being bitter about the 3ds limitations a while ago, but this new version is starting to bring the feelings back...

I don't know that we'll ever have confirmation on why Ice Climbers were cut. People are free to think it was because of 3DS limitations, but until Sakurai says that, it's a lot of just screaming at clouds.
No, her tank shatters when she uses her rainbow laser.

Miyamoto said they weren't really working as marketing things, so they stopped doing them.

Except he straight up said this was the problem in an interview over a year ago.

I know people saying stuff like this is basically all jokes but lol if anyone thinks there's really going to be a Capcom style Smash Bros update at some point
Maybe a "base game + DLC" bundle but Sakurai is going to need to recover for 10 years or so before we see this nonsense again
Ice Climbers are the sole representative of a series in Smash, have been in the last two games and are relatively popular with the competitive community and less so with the casual community.
I think it's ridiculous that, if they are cut, it could be for any other reason than the 3DS' limitations, he wouldn't just cut an entire Nintendo franchise out of smash for shits and giggles.

For whoever called em first.
No, quality before quantity. And in this case the 3DS limited the Wii U version quality.

Dude, I have no idea who the hell Shulk really is but I can tell he's gonna be my main. I can feel it.

Anyone taken normal Shulk?
For whoever called em first.
Yep and its going to poison EVERY single Smash conversation on this site for potentially years :/
Because the Wii U game is out to judge its quality, right?

I think so, there's a huge list of people who called dibs on nearly anyone imaginable.

Is the swimsuit Shulk already taken?

I guessed as much.
If that's true, what really surprises me is they ever thought they were meaningful marketing tools in the first place. Only the most hardcore of the hardcore would read through pages and pages of over-articulated and hyper-polite banter between Japanese executives (with the occasional Western white boy thrown in for good measure). I mean, we here at GAF love that shit, but surely Nintendo is not so out of touch that they thought the general populace cared.
Wish they'd still do them, just for us. I think there's a long-term benefit in continuing to cement the love and admiration of the core, finite in number though they may be. Giving us that glimpse into how Nintendo works, their philosophy, etc., really deepened my appreciation for the people who work at Nintendo.

Unless AGES ago someone specificallt called for that which I doubt and wont go that far too look up.

Whoever called regular Shulk I have no clue.
Though intelliheath probably knows. Since i'm sure he was requested way back even when people weren't sure if he was in.
Holy shit lol
Er.. wat?
That article is paraphrasing Sakurai, so it's possible he didn't actually cite the Ice Climbers as an issue, and that was mere extrapolation on the part of the writer. (Not advisable in the journalism world, mind you.) But yeah, I'm inclined to believe Sakurai did mention the Ice Climbers as something held back by the 3DS. In which case, I guess the writing was more or less on the wall.
Woah, those looks great!
For whoever called em first.

But if the alternative is the 3DS not getting Smash at all, then it's a worthy trade-off. I'd say it's better to have a Smash with slightly less content than it could have had (still more content than the previous entry in its series) than a Smash exclusive to a system that not many people own.

Even if he didn't say Ice Climbers specifically, they are the only characters that incorporates more than one fighter on the field. It couldn't be anybody BUT Ice Climbers.

Eh, the transformation characters also fall under that same umbrella.
Yep! I'm thankful Sakurai included the transformation characters are their own characters at least.
Cutting characters (aka Ice Climbers) because the 3DS can't handle them is enough.
Edit: Cut clones but not original characters.
Highly disagree with this.
I would sacrifice the 3DS version and have that team help out on the WiiU version for more content in a heartbeat.
Probably not a good sale tactic, but I'm not interested in how well the game sells, I'm interested in how good it is.

Oh I see. I was thinking this went way back in the earlier threads when characters like Medusa, alt costumes and other miscellaneous were claimed for.
