Melee had pointless clones as well. I wouldn't be surprised if in an attempt to appease Melee-fans, and general miscommunication, Sakurai tried to mimic Melee in that way.

Was hard to tell, but did anyone else think ROB looked a little more...toy-ish?
Especially his render.

I'm just waiting for the DLC announcement. There's more room on that character select screen. Everyone on board a new hype train?

Yeah, I guess he's not supposed to be the Ancient Minister so much anymore.
first time I've avatar quoted, pretty proud of myself :3
Probably about the spoiler but those who haven't played Mother 3 shouldn't notice it

Lol unless I'm misremembering, even Brawl was better than that.

I mained this mother fucker for a DECADE and now he gets buff!
Oh lord yes this will be GOOD.
Man I NEED to see some GDawg footage. This is the real hype from this early copy shenanigans.

So why did Sakurai think it was a good idea to not put Smash Run online? Now I'll almost never play it.

Well crap, no Mewtwo. At least I have Shulk now.
Why is it exclusive to Handheld? We don't even know what advantages owning Wii U Ver. will have (besides bigger screen).

Joe, your friends and family are worried about you.

Clearly they are playing the incomplete version without the day one Ice Climber patch.
I missed it. Can you describe?

Did anyone record any Magicant or F-Zero stage footage? I missed it while I was sleeping and would like to take a gander.

Oops, sorry!
Guys: Have all of the custom moves been shown for Smash? Real interested in those. Does anyone know if they have to be unlocked?

It's pretty great. Always thought ROB should have looked his actual toy design.
Can't wait to try out the new ROB. Really like his new animations.

Congrats. Glad to be of service.
Damn, I'm on a roll today. I think that's like the fifth time I've been avatar quoted since last night. Something like that.
It wasn't so much of a spoiler thing as "Holy Shit that's coldblooded".

What's up with Mr Game and Watch? Have any changes been noted yet?

So now we have the full roster:
I'd have got rid of Falco (make him a Fox alt, like half of them are Falco colours)
Kept Wolf with a new FS (maybe call in Star Wolf for a bombing run?)
Kept Lucas
Made Dr Mario an alt costume and have the tornado be an alt move set option instead of fludd
Had Dark Pit use vastly different weapons than Pit
Incorporated Ganondorf's sword into his moves in some way
Added Ridley
All in all though I'm ok with the roster. Some disappointments (such as the cutting of Wolf but keeping Falco) and a little disappointed that the ESRB leak was the full roster (though mainly for wanting just one more surprise. Without the ESRB leak this wouldn't be a problem). Villager looks insanely fun after the demo impressions and stuff and wasn't on my radar till then.
RIP Lucas, you were too good for this Earth.
Better luck next time (lol as if) Ridley.

In Brawl it was possible to do modes like Home-Run Contest and Multi-Man Brawl online with a friend. Is that not possible anymore?
What is it?

I'm so super happy with this roster. A super charming weird retro pick in the DHD, Mega Man and Pac-Man being absolute love-letters to recently-abused mascots, representation from recent characters like Shulk, Robin and WFT... This really is the best and most diverse Smash roster yet and I'd say it's probably just as good an improvement as the roster had SSB64->Melee, if not a tad better.
Hopefully once the air clears people will see how great this selection is. I think the choice of showing off so many newcomers before release and having so many as starters might have damaged peoples' impressions a bit.
And shit, I loved Ice Climbers so I'm as upset about that as everyone else.

Brawl had 16 Newcomers (18 if you count Pokemon trainer as 3 Characters).
2 of these Newcomers were clones (Toon Link and Lucas).
5 Characters got lost from Melee.
SSB4 has 14 Newcomers, BUT you can count Palutena as 3 Characters and the Miis as 9 Characters.
That makes 24 Newcomers.
2 of them are Clones.
5 Characters from Brawl got lost (6 if you count Pokemon Trainer as 2).
But Dr. came back.
My opinion on the final roster:
Not bad. Not bad at all, but they spent to much time on Palutena and the Mii-Charakters.
I think the roster is pretty awesome.

Considering there are 47 or whatever characters and 8 unlockable customs per character....HECK NO. XD
Not going to be surprised that they'll save the new characters to be included on the Wii U version but make it either DLC or free updates for the 3DS one.

What the fuck ROB wooooah
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Shame. I was hoping for freaky clown Kirby.
Same here. since it would make sense especially when you have those koopalings as alt but again we have Shadow Mario final smash.
Obviously Ice Climber needed more work to be in the 3DS version.
Free spotpass at Wii U version launch!
Or not
Oh, probably. I forgot them, lol.
I think this is a dream roster. It's excellent.

Speaking as someone's who's been with the series since the beginning, I give the roster 7/10.
If they had just made Dark Pit, Lucina and Dr. Mario as selectable alts, then 8/10. Seeing them as their own selectable characters irks me.
They nailed Duck Hunt Dog and Mega Man.
Not sure how I feel about Bowser Jr. He looks interesting, but the way his clown copter just rolls around on the floor doesn't look right. They should have just made it a clown kart instead. Having the Koopa Kid alts is decent.
Lucas and Wolf could have easily been made alts, don't get the logic there.
I wasn't expecting Snake or Mewtwo to appear, so no disappointment there (though I think Mewtwo could have been made a Lucario alt).
I wasn't expecting Ice Climbers to be in the 3DS version but there is no reason why they shouldn't appear on Wii U.
Ganondorf once again robbed of an original moveset.
Disappointed each character doesn't get at least one alternate costume.
Many of the final smashes could have been improved. Some were made better, while others *cough* landmaster *cough* were just copypasta.
3DS stage selection could be much better, hopefully Wii U makes up for that.
DLC would be nice.
That is all.
