8 player mutiplayer Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Announced

Now that people have played it, can anyone confirm if 5/6 players are part of 8 player smash, and therefore can only use the limited stage list? The direct was vague. Would be nice if 5 players could play on all stages.

I think 5 can play on any but 6-8 is on the bigger stages.

Is that confirmed anywhere by anyone who actually played it?

Edit: From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld4uQClLd5U

"I believe it's part of 8-player smash - and 8 player smash has about half the stages greyed out, as they don't have "big" variants. That said: I didn't get the chance to play any matches with more than 4 players but fewer than 8, so I can't say for sure! -Nick"

For those who want to go digital but are worried about the HDD.

You could always move all your other digital stuff to an HDD and keep only Smash Bros on the internal 32GB.

That way when you want to play 8 players, you can just unplug the HDD and run SSB4 off the Wii U internal memory. I doubt the game will take up more than 25GB so there will be plenty of space.

I dunno man, the content this game has is incredible. But Nintendo does have some of the best compression techniques I've ever seen so it could be that small. I mean, MK8 was 4.9 gig.
