Why is the final roster missing mii fighters?
Duh.
No. Fuck that notion. All Ridley EVER was teased as was a boss character on Pyrosphere.

I'm really not happy over Dark Pit guys.
Like he's the the most striking thing about the roster I'm desperately trying to remain positive about.
But the combination of blatant favoritism and being another clone is making things exceedingly hard for me accept.

I sort of think all of Sakurai's Ridley teasing was just speculation getting wildly out of control. He was confirmed as a Pyrosphere boss ages ago but people still thought he'd be playable for some reason or another.
Although leaks are the most exciting part of Smash hype, I wish nothing leaked in retrospect. Bowser Jr and Duck Hunt look like such great characters, and the "play as every koopaling" thing was a good inclusion. Also after seeing every newcomer listed, Dark Pit is the only boring one. Every other newcomer looks great.

That's the spirit!
Thank you Sakurai! You done good with this roster.
Cannot wait to do this all myself. I'm very excited.
Thanks. Garen is the best. He should have been In smash

Theres still DLC guys. DOn't be sad.
Good grief.
You're not mad at Dark Pit, you're mad at the lack of something else and projecting it on the inclusion of Dark Pit.
By announcing Pyrosphere alongside "An enemy from Samus' past can appear at any second!" but not showing it right away like he had with the other boss characters, by showing the hole in Pyrosphere's wall without explaining why, by showing the silhouette in the Direct in a part about boss characters despite only showing off one boss character prior, and I'm sorry, but it's entirely justified that, by the 3rd PotD focusing solely on the skewed scales of the characters, he might have been hinting at something new with an abnormal size being scaled to fit the game somehow.
It's not "reading too much into things" if literally every other potentially-playable character was bluntly deconfirmed the second they were announced; ZSS actually was deconfirmed. before he came around and said he was joking, too, so it's not like there's no precedence for this kind of "trolling." "Assholish" wasn't the right word, and I apologize, but it's still not that smart of a decision. Sakurai was aware that Ridley was a widely-wanted character; Nintendo Power even blatantly brought it up to him during Brawl. I think he was hoping we'd be excited to see him as a glorified stage hazard, which doesn't seem to be the case.
There is another explanation, but it's an explanation suggesting he was trying to get us excited for something that should have been clear was going to be a let down since the explosion over the Pyrosphere reveal last August, where many immediately brought up that when they said they wanted Ridley in the game, they meant they actually wanted him to be playable as an immediate response to the mere suggestion Ridley might just be a stage hazard. Thus, I honestly don't find it unreasonable to have expected Ridley, and definitely think Sakurai was teasing him. Unfortunately, it just turns out he was teasing something disappointing, and I thought that would have been clear to the team since the teasing began; the proof wasn't just all over the Internet, it was specifically on Miiverse, which means they had to have seen it.

Tabuu ain't got shit on Master Core! If he is in the Wii U version, that will make me more hyped!

...and Paper Mario and Pichu and Banjo-Kazooie and Goku and...
His final smash is different, I know that much. Not sure about moveset.
See, the thing is, if it wasn't for the ESRB leak, there would be minds being blown by Duck Hunt Dog, Bowser Jr. + Koopalings etc.
Now, we just have people being disappointed.
ANYWAY, tomorrow, in addition to my stream, I will be providing some crisp pictures for whoever wants them. THAT SAID, my site is priority so I will be needing to take screens for that as priority when something comes up.
Let me know what you want to see

Teasing him as a stage boss made people think he was playable.
Read what you just wrote.
It's not up to Sakurai to counter every theory fans come up with based on thin air

Actually, Smash 3DS WAS planned first, excuse me.

Thanks. I knew I'd seen it before. Wii U version was started because of 3DS limitations.

I'll be straight up, I never liked WFT as an inclusion, or Duck Hunt and I still don't. Along with ganondorf as a captain Falcon clone are complete wastes of space on the roster where far better and more deserving characters should have made it. Nobody in Brawl outside of Ganondorf still being a falcon clone made me feel this way.
That's my opinion

I like the final roster. I got my most wanted newcomer (Shulk) and aside from the clones all of the newcomers look incredibly unique and fun to use. I think 49 is a pretty solid roster number, too. The only thing that hurts is losing Ice Climbers. I do feel bad for everyone who didn't get their most wanted newcomer in or had their favorite veteran cut, though.
Anyway, come at me. =p

This roster is incredible.
And again, You Will Know Our Names in the Gaur Plains stage. Incredibly hype.
Has anyone heard the main Gaur Plains theme, though? Is it lifted straight from Xenoblade?
Also, I like how the time of day changes, and the eyes of the Mechonis glow at night.
Yes, it's the original Gaur Plain theme.
The remix heard in Shulk's reveal trailer is probably in Wii U.

It clearly was reading into things too much though
Oh that's good at least

As in "Heathcliff"
Still haven't unlocked Ice Climbers? Those two are so wily!
*comfort*
I really love the final roster but it would be super perfect if we didn't have any cut characters (mainly Ice Climbers) Yeah, people are going to complain about the final roster for LONG LONG LONG TIME.

To be fair, people would have also been wayyy more disappointed with that ROB reveal, and now people have had time to prepare for that being the final roster.

The roster is pretty great, and I think a lot of the newcomers here are more interesting than the ones from Brawl.
But still, I feel like the roster would be PERFECT if Lucas, Wolf, Ice Climbers, and Mewtwo were in too. The Gematsu leaker had said that Lucas may be considered for DLC, so I guess we'll just have to wait. Even with those 4 missing, it's still a pretty solid roster, though.

Nope, Ridley was always teased as a stage boss. If people want to jump to their own irrational conclusions, well, that's their problem.
