I know over time we lose and gain characters in fighters (i.e. Street Fighter), but not all of them. Also, those changes usually happen with their attempts at a story it seems.

When was he ruled out? Fuck, if he was I missed it, and feel stupid.

when he answered about ridley inclusion in an interview early in development were he said that ridley would have been too big to be playable,and then ridley fans decided that from then onward every time a PotD talked about size,he was teasing ridley
then he clearly showed what could only be ridley shadow while talking about stage bosses.
and still ridley fans were not convinced that he was not playable
 
Are people seriously complaining about the roster?

We got so many new and interesting characters that I don't think I could take any complaining about the roster seriously.

Well, when did Smash cut all of them?

Smash is actually one of the more modest games when it comes to cuts. There's never been a complete reset, they've never cut out any of the original characters, etc.
 
I really don't care about Fire Emblem or Kid Icarus so that already makes a large chunk of the characters not matter to me. But on a positive note, I'm going to buy Uprising and Awakening at some point to try to appreciate these character choices. Try not to hate too hard guys. It's ok to be disappointed but we still have one hell of a great game ahead of us.

My rating for the roster? 8/10.

There were some great surprises involved with the roster (WFT, DHD) and some characters I can't wait to main (Rock, Pacman, The guy in my avatar (
BTW, could someone help me with the transparency for it?
)), but the cutting of a whole franchise sucks. Even more so when this series was the only way they remained relevant. If the linking rumor is true, I'd boost the rating up to 9, simply because of the Chorus kids.
 
Final Smash Bros.for 3DS roster gets a 10 from me. I wanted something new yet familiar and with lots of variety and customization. And this game has all of these things in spades. Great online play will make me score it an 11.

Some people didn't get any of the characters they wanted. When you've wanted characters in for 13 years, you tend to get mad when it doesn't happen.

Why hold onto such a thing for so long though? If I don't get something I want, I compromise and find joy in other things. Tears a mature response.
 
I know it's from GAF, but is there any reason to believe this guy?

- Been around for over a decade.
- Games journalist.
- Leaked things before.
- Claims he's had a source within NoE that has been giving him information for the past year. (Makes sense considering he lives in Amsterdam.)

He considers his source reliable enough to jeopardize his longstanding account. EmCee has already put him on notice, so we'll see.

Alrighty, how is everyone taking the roster? I've been gone for a few hours and feel like I may have missed some meltdowns.

Palutena? Shulk? Robin? Rosalina? Lucina? Those are literally all of my 10-outta-10 roster choices. I must be the Ultimate Lucky Student, because I never dreamed of getting all of these characters together.

The smash IV roster gets a heh, heh, heh, heh/10. Four heh's.

Didn't BlazBlue cut one of the robot characters and added her only later on again as DLC (or maybe it was the console version, I forgot)?

You're talking about Lambda-11 who swaps with Nu-13. It's like they swap every game as far as on consoles. They are the same character though.

Blazblue.

Yeah... but Blazblue STARTED with 10 characters (IIRC one of which was a boss).

That game's roster was too small to lose characters until recently.

Even then, in BBCS, Nu-13 got "replaced" by Lambda-11 outside of her Unlimited form. She just recently got brought back as a separate character in lieu of Lambda... until DLC in BBCP.

Meanwhile you've got the SF4 series still not bringing back highly requested characters, until they put together SFxT and later decided to port some of the missing SF cast over because it's less work. :p

Still no Sodom though -__-

NINJA EDIT: Oh, beaten by you yourself, no less :p

But then yeah, exactly, even then they didn't put them in separately until recently.
 
Then get out quick
It's been going on for hours

i dont think roster discussions will ever end once smash 6 or w/e its being called gets announced the smash cycles begins anew

Alrighty, how is everyone taking the roster? I've been gone for a few hours and feel like I may have missed some meltdowns.

im liking the roster a lot im excited to try out palutena and robin as well as lucina (me and my friend right now are fighting over whos gonna main her rofl) dh as well bowser jr while im not all that familiar with them look great and shulk looks like a lot of fun. while many here dont seem to like dark pit or dr.mario i think the characters themselves might be pretty sweet once i get to play em.

overall the roster for someone who likes fire emblem as well as liked uprising the roster is really quite good for me anyway

Pretty good. Ice Climbers and Simon Belmont are really the only omissions that bug me. Simon is probably a lost cause since Konami is a bunch of fuckwads so I can't get too upset about that. Takamaru would have been nice to have as a playable character though. Honestly, they are getting to the point where the important characters are pretty much accounted for.

Hmm...definitely worth keeping up with, then. Interesting and awesome if true, though I hope they'll be available at some point for those without a Wii U.

I can't tell if these comments are worse than the Geno thread or not.
 
Pop in the Wii U disc, and then:

- Create a Mii fighter (I'm thinking Brawler, but need to see more of the gunner)
- 5 Min VS matches with Mega Man, Pauletina, Shulk, Greninja, Mii
- Pick whichever one of those 4 i like best and do a Classic Mode run. Then another Classic run with 2nd best, etc
- Do whatever it takes to unlock BowsJr (assuming using the Mii gets DogDuck. Bowser Classic mode run?)
- Go to bed

Because people like to see their favorite Nintendo represented in a Nintendo crossover game. What's the point of a new Smash if you don't get any of the characters you want? I'm glad that DuckHunt and Bowser Jr look fun, or I'd probably hate the game.
