Ugh i kinda knew this would happen -

The moment Sakurai said that the 3ds version would be similar to wiiu (and vice versa)... this was bound to happen I'm sure they could have put way (way!!!) more characters but noooo the 3ds has to be ''compatible'', has to ''handle it''...

Questionable design decision for sure (yes i dare say). They artificially bottleneck the wiiu version!!!

There's hope for dlc but then again...

*I am happy that a portable version exists though (don't get me wrong)

Any cuts that have been made are much more likely to stem from lack of development time than the limitations of the platform. Nothing in the 3DS's architecture would prevent the inclusion of the cut veterans (even the Ice Climbers), but it seems likely that they were cut for time.

 

[munchie64]

Mariolee, maybe have a section in the OP for important image where the only source is 2ch or twitter in general?

 

[DJIzana]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss for Nesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aquamarine]

I've been using Falco as my main ever since Melee.

 

[catmario]

I'm so glad that ness is back.

Uh huh. Size is NOT a limiting factor on the 3DS. Maybe it limited the kinds of characters like Ice Climbers but the number is DEFINITELY not affected in any way

At least give me Krystal.

Hey, at least you have a Fox skin!
They were never meant to be in Smash Bros.

any word on that bayonetta rumor?

I was not planning on buying this game but I might if she is in it

I really doubt the Ice Climbers were cut for any reason other than technical limitations in the 3DS version. When Sheik can stand as her own character through nothing but Smash Bros. veteran inertia then the Ice Climbers would have surely been a high enough priority to be included.

If she was going to be in it, they would have announced it before launch. She's not in.

Yeah, dude, she aint getting in.

Don't stop me now! I must see it all.

 

[Mariolee]

Mariolee, maybe have a section in the OP for important image where the only source is 2ch or twitter in general?

Are you saying having a different sections for 2ch leaks, twitter leaks, and GAF leaks?

I truly don't believe that. I'm confident it's the 3ds' lack - memory-wise per se (slowdown and whatnot)

Now it's all about hoping the wiiu version actually has more characters (!!!!)

I just thought you weren't gonna post images from dubious sources, but it seems you're doing it now, so it's all good.

Yeah, I'll just note if they're dubious or not.

Maybe that's why there's the New 3DS LL as well. We're likely to see them expand more and maybe Smash will utilize some of that horse power there too.

 

[LOCK]

Ness and Falco are like my favorites, I'm happy. Nintendo will get all my money.

 

[ColinSM]

Is this the tried and true leak thread, or is there one with less posting in between info updates?

Also, I found this in the hype thread. Can anyone help me figure out whether this is credible or not?

“Going through the tips, seeing if there's anything interesting. Am sure some of this was known, but;
-Villager's can randomly have 1-3 turnips for their aerials. When you have 3, the attack has a meteor effect.
-Milotic, Whimsicott, and Shaymin will randomly appear on Unova Pokemon League stage. They don't have any effect on battle. (From Famitsu scans we know Shaymin will eventually transform into Sky Form Shaymin)
-The more people playing Smash Run, the more like rare rewards are to appear.
-5 different types of dogs can appear in the Nintendog stage; sometimes cats too.
-The giant blooper in the Paper Mario stage won't attack players, but will make waves that rock the boat you're fighting on.
-Skull Kid AT has 3 effects. Controls reverse on vertical & horizontal axis, all players become invisible, or the screen flips upside down. Also affects the player who summoned him.
-Mew will drop rare customization parts when summoned.
-Dr. Kawashima AT will summon lots of numbers from off-screen. You can attack them to change their direction.
-Alfonzo will take over the train on the Spirit Track stage when Toon Link OR regular Link are in battle.
-Mii's on the Tomodachi Collection stage will occasionally be ones saved on your system.
-You can attack Elec Man and while you can't defeat him, if you knock him off screen he will disappear.
-You can defeat the Dark Samus AT by attack it, but if you get too close it will attack by discharging Phazon Energy.”

Lucas with a hat! ;_;

Unlocked Falco and lunch still half finished, crazy and master hands are hard.

Was ice climbers a popular character(i really dont know)? Do many people resonate with the original game?

Seems like they were added to bring in a unique gameplay experience. Now that theres Rosalina with Luma, Duck Hunt Dog with the Ducks, with both groups having fastly different partners, and ice climbers being basically clones; they seem obsolete to the evolution of the tag team characters in ssb4.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Nah. It's clearly Teen Mario.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

I don't really know. I just played classic mode, difficulty 3.0.

Thanks man.

 

[EatChildren]

If Ice Climbers are cut I'd bet it was a combination of development time and the severely restricted 3DS hardware. I believe Sakurai already expressed difficulties getting them working on the platform.

A damn shame if so, further validating my distaste for Wii U/3DS cross platform development.

Rosalina & Luma are pretty far removed from the Ice Climbers--Luma is a very simple puppet that has no rigorous AI of its own. They aren't really a tag team--Rosalina doesn't need Luma like Popo needs Nana. And we have no idea how Duck Hunt plays. The Ice Climbers still stand out well enough, and people are pretty attached to them as Smash Bros. mascots like Jigglypuff, Sheik, and Captain Falcon.

 

[Synless]

Didn't we already know ness was in the game from the leak?

 

[Immaculate]

OH FUCK ITS HAPPENING FUCK SLEEP

 

[DJIzana]

So with Falco and Ness revealed... that leaves one square left?

Unless... there's more that we don't know about and you can go to another screen or something.

My issue is much more simple than that
I have to play this on a 3ds first. Bleh.

Yeah, but it's still nice to see him officially.

 

[Mariolee]

Leaks going round at the speed of sound.
Got places to go but I'm stuck here on Neo!

 

[ZeroCDR]

Roster parity is a damn shame, it's not like the games are cross-play. Wii U version should be all it can be, especially with the delay.

 

[Green Mamba]

You seem a bit behind on leaks--we've had the (presumably) full roster since like a few weeks ago with the character select screen. The squares shrink.

It's impossible to have one square left when there's still Lucina and Mii Fighters.

Aye... this is true.
