Welp, no more reason for me to stick around. All the character details should be pretty well recorded by Oct 3.

Back to Destiny.

Spoiler

For fuck's sake Isaac isn't even an AT

 

[StreetsAhead]

And there it is.

Well, there's always hope for DLC.

Not disappointed in the final roster coz I have some cool new choices, but am sad to lose IC, Lucas, and Wolf.

Unlocking ROB is apparently more time consuming than spriting every single secret character.

 

[CriterionDog]

I love the final roster. Best roster of any fighting game! I just wish Snake made it back. It'd be cool if they could get Ice Climbers back too. It's so weird that a Melee character (that's not a clone) is actually missing.

 

[(mat)]

Ridley thread looking salty.
It's okay though, eventually they'll get over the non-inclusion of a terrible character and enjoy this awesome rooster.

?

 

[Placktor]

where is this pic coming from?

Photoshop

 

[Diprosalic]

How can that be when both games are coming out close to eachother. The Wii U version is in QA right now.

they don't literally use the money but i'm pretty sure that the 3DS version had top priority and it will make em more money.

 

[UnnecessaryTodd]

So... why is ROB photoshopped in?

People kept asking "WHY IS SHULK PUSHED DOWN" so while being lazy (not putting ROB in the right place) I showed why he wouldn't be in the final roster including Mii Fighters.

 

[Toxi]

Chronological order except clones and third party.

Except a few of the clones. Ganondorf, Toon Link, and Falco are arranged like most of the other characters.

 

[Spainkiller]

It's a VERY good roster, despite the lack of Ice Climbers and Wolf.

Ridley was never gonna make it.

Let's accept it and be thankful for fantastic additions alike Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr.

 

[jorgejjvr]

so was rob the last character?

 

[Dimmle]

We are still missing a couple hundred custom moves. Those seriously have me more interested than the roster

Oh yeah, I agree. I'm way more interested in how the game plays than who is available.

Can we ridicule just how bizarre and poorly put together the CSS is now?

Do we have to...?

 

[SuperSah]

I guess DLC is likely.

Like I said, I really like the characters.

But otherwise, that fucking DKCR music is GOOD.

 

[xKilltheMx]

So esrb leak was final roster? Rob super confirmed?

 

[mentallyinept]

And you call yourself gamers. Shulk is SECOND PARTY.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_developer#Second-party_developer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_development_teams#Software_Development_Subsidiaries

Out of these two definitions:

1. Independently owned studios who take development contracts from the platform holders and what they produce will usually be exclusive to that platform.
2, Studios who are partially or wholly owned by the platform holder (also known as a subsidiary) and what they produce will usually be exclusive to that platform.

I have never used the second definition for second party because the resulting IP is indistinguishable from first party.

 

[Trey]

What's the point? You choose a character. That's all.

The important thing is that the game itself looks amazing. Can we focus on the good, and not the bad?

We can do both.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yep, the extra space in the CSS is super weird, Sakurai is kinda perfectionist with that.

 

[Beelzebufo]

so was rob the last character?

Yup!

 

[Commodore]

Today there was a picture talking about alph as a completely different character as olimar! That isn't shown in the picture you all our posting!!!!!!

 

[theprodigy]

How can that be when both games are coming out close to eachother. The Wii U version is in QA right now.

It's called "Nintendo prefers making money".

 

[Veeboy]

Well, I hope the final Wii U CSS doesn't look as odd as that (I still dislike that Yoshi is in the Mario series group despite rep ping his own sub series). That or hope that dlc will make everything look better.

 

[AdaWong]

Terrible CSS design. So shitty it hurts.

 

[Gamefreak]

We are all being punished for the leaks
We will never see another character in Smash 4

Spoiler

The troll master Sakurai then releases DLC characters

Sakurai you have won.

#WhereAreTheMiiFighters

 

[PsychBat!]

Love the roster, I couldn't be happier.

 

[Zoracka]

Unlocking ROB is apparently more time consuming than spriting every single secret character.

Did anyone claim this wonderful art?

Edit: because I'd like it if not..

 

[JazzmanZ]

For everyone doubting that the ESRB leak was the final roster.

We told you so, but you didn't listen.

It's not like anyone knew it was the final roster in the first place here?

Is it wrong to be optimistic or something?

 

[73V3N]

It's a VERY good roster, despite the lack of Ice Climbers and Wolf.

Ridley was never gonna make it.

Let's accept it and be thankful for fantastic additions alike Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr.

Let's be thankful about the new clones too

 

[Red Arremer]

Unlocking ROB is apparently more time consuming than spriting every single secret character.

Gosh this is the cutest thing of all time.

 

[BassForever]

Ganondorf still a clone
Ice climbers gone
Wonky css final layout
Duck hunt dog was included
Ridley was not included
Dr mario returns, mewtwo doesn't

Fuck this final roster, this is even more embarrassing then Brawl's final roster

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah I'll still buy this game and play Duck Hunt, WFT, and Jr.

But... I still need to reconcile with the fact that Wolf won't be there.

 

[KHlover]

Sakurai played too much M.U.G.E.N confirmed. Awful CSS on the 3DS.

Spoiler

Save us, WiiU

 

[Mr.Miyamoto]

People kept asking "WHY IS SHULK PUSHED DOWN" so while being lazy (not putting ROB in the right place) I showed why he wouldn't be in the final roster including Mii Fighters.

Okay -- even though it was a quick job, I think people are confusing it for the full roster with ROB & Mii Fighters that we haven't seen yet, though.

 

[Jokey665]

Today there was a picture talking about alph as a completely different character as olimar! That isn't shown in the picture you all our posting!!!!!!

No. He's just a costume for Olimar. His name just changes like it does with the Koopalings.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

Nintendo owns 97% of Monolithsoft.

And? I don't think you know what second party means.

Studios who are partially or wholly owned by the platform holder (also known as a subsidiary) and what they produce will usually be exclusive to that platform.

 

[Diprosalic]

And you call yourself gamers. Shulk is SECOND PARTY.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_development_teams#Software_Development_Subsidiaries

"Second Party" is a stupid term. We don't know who owns what in terms of IPs and characters.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

This ridiculous belief that Ice Climbers was taken out due to hardware issues needs to stop being taken as fact...

What? lol. If IC are truly cut then it is because of 3DS limitations. There is no question. Sakurai wouldn't cut a character with a unique moveset I know theres Mewtwo but with the way Pokemon is always changing I can set that aside for the moment. Especially since IC are an entire franchise. Sakurai wouldn't cut an entire franchise unless he had to.

 

[Kouriozan]

Unlocking ROB is apparently more time consuming than spriting every single secret character.

Looks great, as usual

 

[DNAbro]

Today there was a picture talking about alph as a completely different character as olimar! That isn't shown in the picture you all our posting!!!!!!

Not sure if serious.

 

[Placktor]

After seeing the final CSS I am confident that it was left like that for DLC. Hopefully some of it comes with the Wii U version.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Today there was a picture talking about alph as a completely different character as olimar! That isn't shown in the picture you all our posting!!!!!!

It specifically says he's not a different character. They share the same spot. He's there.

 

[Axass]

BTW

1 - That Zip guy is a freakin' huge asshole to imply Mewtwo was in.

2 - Isaac is still MIA, but Camelot credited, possibly confirming DLC.

3 - That Zero guy, a mod from SmashBoards said a rep told him the leaked roster wasn't complete. Are SmashBoards mods so shitty?

 

[Guesong]

Today there was a picture talking about alph as a completely different character as olimar! That isn't shown in the picture you all our posting!!!!!!

Alph is an alternate costume, sorry to break it to you. Been known and shown for a week.

 

[BitStyle]

Guys
I like the roster

Seriously. Can't wait to play some Duck Hunt.

 

[ciD_Vain]

Today there was a picture talking about alph as a completely different character as olimar! That isn't shown in the picture you all our posting!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure the portrait of Olimar just changes to Alph if you select his alternate

 

[zroid]

Ridley thread looking salty.

[Mik317]

Sakurai: Don't blame me...blame yourself or god


we have had weeks to accept your #teamFinal future but many refused.....and now...despair

 

[Regulus Tera]

Ganondorf still a clone
Ice climbers gone
Wonky css final layout
Duck hunt dog was included
Ridley was not included
Dr mario returns, mewtwo doesn't

Fuck this final roster, this is even more embarrassing then Brawl's final roster

It's like I'm back in 2008 all over again!

 

[Not75Drops]

What's with these crazy theory posts. The Wii U version was always going to come. The 3DS version being made was a decision made afterwards

Source? I don't know about the finance thing but I remember reading somewhere that the 3DS was the original version because they couldn't think of any new ideas but they made a Wii U one anyway. I'll try and find it.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Man some people need to seriously lighten up... going around saying this has ruined their day and they're going to be unhappy for awhile now.

Bowser Jr. with all the koopalings, DHD, Shulk, Villager, awesome stages, a ton of new modes, portable smash bros...

If this doesn't highlight the fact that whatever you do some people will always resent you for it and criticise it. Seriously this game looks amazing, and I am so hyped to play it.

I also think a number of people who are posting about it being a shit roster have half done it to themselves by following the leaks and the hype, the guesses and the maybes. If you bought the game and played through it without that, I doubt your sentiments towards it would be so negative.
