People suggesting jigglypuff get cut? What?

She is classic smash. It doesn't matter how relevant she is outside, she is popular in smash.
Yeah, like the Ice Climbers--
oh wait.

It was surprising to see a melee/brawl vet (possibly) be cut, but I REALLY can't see them dropping anyone from all five games so far, in the future.

With great power, comes great... nah son, save uncle Ben and your sanity by playing smash with non-sticky fingers.

Sweet, you do it too then we'll go get into spidey shenanigans after we take one and two in the tourney...you'll be a great 2nd ;P

I have considered getting double-sided tape and applying a piece to my thumb.
No really

I'll only be destroying my circle pad for a few months until the Wii U version comes out, so personally it's not that big of a deal for me.

I'll mostly be having less serious matches on my 3DS or practicing tech skills instead of anything truly demanding once I get that.
 
No.

Nostalgia's all well and good but I wanna play as Rosalina and Little Mac right gaddamn now.

The satisfaction of unlocking characters is what makes me want to play as them. For me, the idea of having all your favorite characters immediately available from the start takes away any satisfaction of earning them. It's like your Pokemon starters being fully evolved in the beginning of the game versus their first forms.

I also wish there was the option to start with only twelve fighters and unlock them all. As a kid I would regularly clear my Melee data so I could unlock all the characters again.

It might be happening.

From an alien.. or your blood whatever. I shall wait for Batty to become Venom, then from the Bat I shall become the Carnage and we shall have a smashing time.
 
Well, it's 1:30 am in japan right now, so it'll be at least another 7-8 hours before anything happens and more stores get their shipments in. Unless someone has it already and isn't sharing yet.

Is anyone monitoring 4ch/2ch?
It would probably be smart to not post anything until you have something worth posting, like all of the characters. Gives Nintendo less of a chance to take action.

I can't agree with that at all. I personally see it better having them all there from the get go. You have this huge platter to choose from and sample right away to see what you like and you don't. It's just not worth the effort in my eyes to unlock someone that you might not even like or even really bother with after unlocking. You still have to try them out regardless and see how they work with your preferred playstyle. Which I think is the main aspect, unlocking characters never adds anything for me. Besides saying finally had to go through that nonsense or whatever the unlock requirement was.

With all that said though I think this go around I like how they handled it. The hit a good balance on the starting roster and unlockables.

Can't believe I didn't think of this the other day for unlocks.
Please tell me someone did.

Guys, I would like to add my FC to the list and add some of you as well (after weeks of forgetting it :p). Unfortunately, the post containing the link cannot be quoted anymore. I would like to ask for help in this one. Thanks in advance!

Assuming this is our starting roster, I would've had Luigi, Rosalina, Diddy Kong, Toon Link, Palutena, Ike, Metaknight, and Greninja as locked characters as well. I would've put Ness in the starting roster though.

So what is the list of unlockable characters then?
 
Lucario being a starter seems entirely pointless. As does Toon Link. There was no reason to bump them to starters.

I also would have moved Metaknight and Ike to unlockable. Although the comedy of having Ike not be revealed until the leak would have been funny to see the reactions of his return.

It's just a different in playstyles. We enjoy different aspects of games. I love games with unlockables. There is no such things as too many unlockables. I don't care what the criteria is, I don't care if I ever use the unlocked content, the satisfaction of unlocking anything is thrilling and satisfying for me. It gives me that key-in-lock mental pleasure. It activates the reward center in my brain and makes me really happy to do.

But again, I would be an example from the opposite end of the spectrum as you. That's why I'm all for options. Personally, I would do the Guitar Hero thing and allow players to enter in a code to unlock all the content for their session. So if you don't want to mess with unlocking characters and stages, you don't have to. Otherwise I'd start the game with the original twelve.
