Its not a defense bro. Its crazy how theres only ONE side to stuff here. "you want the characters buy a 300$ console."


Ahem...already got dat shit..anyways would not be the first time Nintendo had done shit like this. I remember only being able to play mewtwo in pokemon stadium was with gb game connected. People should stop acting brand new this old news.

Better yet...people need to stop losing their shit over things that have not and may never happen.

I mean really guys....how do some of you get through your days?

It'd be interesting to see a CSS mockup of the supposed Wii U version with DHD/Jr/Doc/Dark Pit cut and Chorus/Ridley/Dixie/Mewtwo thrown in with all the known characters and see how it lines up. That might be just enough to make this theory more convincing. Either way, I shouldn't get my hopes up at all.

I based the layout on the E3 demo layout...since the 3ds layout stayed the same. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/media/26912/1/838.jpg Not really a pattern, but it works pretty well

Both songs available on the Brinstar stage are both from Melee. No new Metroid songs to listen to while fighting normal VS. matches confirmed.

lol, this stage roster just keeps giving.

The WiiU Stage roster and music selection will probably be a lot better. I kind of have the feeling they held back a bit on some features on the 3DS to make the WiiU a better buy

so i see it was confirmed the esrb roster was indeed final while at first the whole css looking a little weird after seeing it complete with the miis doesnt look as imbalanced as i thought.

I have to say im fairly disappointed with what happened with the leak to be honest (But i guess it just happens in video games) But i am super excited to play with all the characters i am a little disappointed in how the clones work but still super excited to give em a shot.

I am sad about the cuts and hopefully the dlc bit is real though

anyway it was nice being hype/crazy leading up to this game smashgaf lol

i have a feeling the wiiu version of the css will be slightly more different than the 3ds version since it doesnt have to worry about screen size or anything

Yeah, it's like everyone got their hands on those ESRB screenshots, passed them on to their friends and added something like "by the way, Chorus Men and Mewtwo are also in" so that shit all got mixed in with the legitimate info.

That's why I think all the fake as shit leaks have gotten the occasional thing right. Does anybody know how long those screenshots have been circulating the Smash underworld? We know it was a while before the /v/ guy decided to leak them.

I mean... the Wii U version's gotta have SOMETHING dazzling to go along with it, ya know? Sure, its own stages, modes, whatever. But there's a Wii U button right on the 3DS main menu. The connectivity needs to be pretty compelling somehow. Something to make you say "man I really wanna buy both of these games." I'm sure from the very start they were thinking hmm, how can we make people buy both of these games, how can they interact with each other. Convenient data sharing aint gonna push it. But this Pokemon-esque character-swap/unlock theory... that would do it. That would get people to do that do.

I DUNNO GUYS. I will retain a sliver of hope. But at least I know not to try and expect the 3DS game to unlock more characters on its lonesome, won't have any silly expectations going into it now.

So the ESRB leak was the whole roster... I had hopes that we'd find new characters here but I'm not disappointed. Smash is the type of game that you simply just want more and more, so it's hard to ever feel completely satisfied. The few cuts are a bit sad (but mostly expected bar the Ice Climbers) but the newcomers are incredible. People may feel sad now but when playing the game it's highly unlikely you'll like it less because of missing characters. After all, we have 49 characters in the roster! It's crazy that a game with such a big roster can still disappoint some people.

In any case, if this new characters for Wii U release thing is true (and it'd make a lot of sense) then the roster would be perfect. I don't want to get too hopeful but the idea of releasing free characters with the Wii U version is perfect to keep the hype going. I just hope we get a release date somewhat soon.

I hope that rumor is true. Would be neat to see and would validate the original rumors that appeared online that said they were in. There's also somewhat of a pattern with them..

Unconventional - Duck Hunt and Chorus Men
Bad guy - Bowser Jr. and Ridley
Clone - Dark Pit and Dixie Kong
Melee vet - Dr. Mario and Mewtwo

Guys...I think Spainkiller isn't lying

This screencap was from a /v/ thread made on 07/27 before the ESRB leak

He says the game will have:
Dixie
Shulk
Chorus Men
Ridley
Bowser Jr
Mewtwo
Duck Hunt Dog

Fast forward to the ESRB leak from 08/20 -> http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=878858

This confirms 3 out of the 7 characters from the /v/ poster and it's also confirmed 100% now that we have the final roster

Now that leaves us with the last 4 characters...Dixie, Chorus Men, Ridley, and Mewtwo

Spainkiller from NeoGAF posted this today:

"Fuck it, I'm just gonna put it out there:

(And I'm not saying this to troll fans or keep the hype up or whatever.)

I have a source who has been right about previous leaks and has worked on the European localization of the game. He says he has definitely seen moving models of Dixie, Ridley, Chorus Men and Mewtwo in the game and he's still confident that these four characters can be unlocked by linking the 3DS version to the Wii U version.

Now, I know how outlandish this sounds, and being a game journalist myself I'm taking this with a grain of salt myself, but we're talking about the guy who told me about the Bowser Jr. alts immediately after the ESRB leaks and has never been wrong about other stuff as well. Plus, the whole connectivity thing makes far too much sense, if only to get fans to buy both versions. *insert itprintsmoney.gif here*

Again, I swear on my soul that I'm not trolling. Time will tell. I thought Ridley was never gonna be in, but hey."

Zipzo (who is credible, he posted a lot of info from the final JP smash build a few days ago) tweeted this:

"Mewtwo is in."

I guess we'll see in a few months what happens ;)

Its laughable that alot of people is believing this leak.

Its just taking he Vannrose leak, which was true, and adding more characters. Seriously people get a grip! This is our final roster!

You poor souls. :( Accept Dak Pit as the best character,

Btw, this was from August of last year:

PN: In all your games, and especially in Kid Icarus Uprising and Smash Bros, the amount of game content is very important, with sometimes hundreds of hours of game.Why do you always put so much content in your games?Is it because you are not really fond of DLCs and instead prefer to have access to a complete game right away?

Sakurai: Oh it's not that I dislike DLCs, it's just that I don't really have time to think about it.I'm too busy working on the game and put as much content as I can. The goal is to give a full and interesting game to players.

I'm not opposed to DLCs on principle. I really liked the Fallout 3 DLCs for example.

PN: In Famitsu magazine a few months ago you said regretted not being able to patch SSBB on Wii, especially the online mode. This is not case anymore on Wii U and 3DS where it is possible to modify a game after its release. What aspects of the new SSB game will be scrutinized in prevision of possible patches?

S: It's hard to tell right now but of course we always try to keep the best balance.Nevertheless I do not know yet if it will be easy to patch the games once they are released.For example, if you have a person playing a patched version of the game playing against a person without the patch problems may occur. We will have to do a lot of research about this.

That said I think patches are very important to keep the game balanced once it's out.As you already know players are very interested in knowing whether a character is considered strong or weak on the Internet.

And sometimes you have to see if those perceptions are correct or if people are just following the popular opinion.We really want each character to have their special abilities, with statistics balancing their strong points.

We want to put forward specific each characters' specific abilities but at the same time players have to ask themselves if they accept the Internet reputation of a character.It's something we have to take into account when we will create patches.

He'd be more passive because fighting him is not the point of the stage like actual boss fights are. As a stage hazard it would make the most sense for him to just meander about or slowly follow people around and give ample opportunity to avoid him. A stage hazard shouldn't be more important than the match. The one exception to this that we've seen is yellow devil, where, while still passive, he takes up too much room on the stage and his random attacks are too hard to avoid. And that pretty much ruins the stage.

So you're trying to tell me that Ridley is even going to be denied to becoming an actual, proper boss character? That this boss, whom we know as a super active and dangerous boss in all the games he appears in, including Brawl, is literally going to be a tame kitten? Where all he does is just flap about, wave a bit, and maybe grab you a little if he feels like it? That this is what Sakurai has been teasing for well over a year?

Also, I don't recall intrusive stage hazards ever being a problem in the series. There's instakill spikes in the one vertically scrolling DK stage, there's cannons and storms in the background of the Pirate Ship, there's Pokemon that invert controls or turn the stage upside down or shoot high damage+knockback slashes onto the stage in Spear Pillar. And those aren't even "boss characters". Those are just regular stage hazard. And you mean to tell me that Ridley, a long-teased "boss character", will do virtually nothing.

Yeah, 3DS seems pretty disappointing in a lot of ways, but at the same time I think for the first handheld Smash, it's pretty tight.

Oh fuck though, just thinking about the fact we have possibly 3 more months of POTD confirming shit that's exclusive to the Wii U Version scares me!

By the way, any Pokemon or Assist Trophies that have been revealed are absent from the 3DS Version? Like is Dillon in, because his model seemed so good I wondered if he was Wii U only.

According to this, Doc's up special doesn't launch coins or hold people in, he basically just uppercuts them and they get smashed away.

Doc seems to be more like a Brawl clone than Melee or 4's clones.

What if you cant unlock more characters on the 3DS until the Wii U one is out? imagine theres some sort of date locked to unlock characters reason we still do not have a Wii U release date in Japan or NA, EU.

Can I be content that the leak is fake and happy with the final roster without accepting the only disappointing character as the best one?

If that "unlock characters by connecting to a Wii U" rumor ends up being true, I sure am lucky my college has the console in their game room.
Unless Nintendo limits it to only one 3DS connection per Wii U. That would suck.

Sakurai played Fallout 3? I knew about him looking Dark Souls already.

There's something funny about that, doesn't seem like the type of game a Nintendo dev would like lol.
