Well, I've definitely observed this practice for enemies in Smash Run and Miis in Multi-Man Smash... it's much harder to tell whether it's happening for ATs and pokeballs since they only come out one at a time, but it definitely wouldn't surprise me.
I think that any betting person would prefer to put their money on the console version having more assists than the handheld version, but the only facts we have are that every AT that has been seen in Wii U footage exists on the 3DS, and some of the ATs on the 3DS have not yet been seen in Wii U footage.
If there are some Wii U exclusives being kept under wraps, they had better be pretty nice!

How's it a spoiler? I listed the three things people might guess Metal Face to be. They'll have to play the game to learn what's up with him.
Welp.

Oh, now I get it.
I can't wait for Pikmin in 60FPS
Because f'rizzle it's mad uggo homedawgs.

Considering they have the exact same voice, saying that Metal face could be man or machine completely gives away the (admittedly already pretty obvious) plot point that Mumkhar is Metal Face.
It's true the WiiU is much more capable, but we don't know what else Sakurai might be attempting to do with this iteration.
For example, Sakurai might be aiming to maintain 60 fps with eight players + local/online + items on Very High + huge arenas + roaming stage bosses + other dynamic elements + Coin Battle, etc.
Maybe the game is optimized to run well under those circumstances with the current roster, but eight player-controlled Popos + eight AI-controlled Nanas is too much.
We can't say since we don't know how much Sakurai is attempting this time around and how the system has been optimized to handle all of that.

doing this to the picture is like putting a huge neon sign with arrows pointing out THIS IS THE JOKE.

Nothing was spoiled until
the one guy literally re-quoted me but removed the "man" and "monster" bits, thus confirming Metal Face is a man or monster.

It's not really a big deal anyway. Metal Face shows up within a couple hours and the name alone kind indicates what sort of enemy he is (not to mention the fact the prologue sets the tone of the game as an organic vs mechanic struggle).
It's like "spoiling" FF7 by saying they blow up a reactor.
I'm like 85% sure that the Pikmins' pathfinding is borderline broken.
The problem is that
The problem is that
so much as intimating that he might be anything other than a machine is going to create expectations. Having it called attention to by someone else is indeed problematic, but the fact remains that you're already nudging them into drawing conclusions about a character to start off with. It's not a huge deal, but keep that in mind when talking about spoiler-y characters in the future.
Honestly, I never guessed that (Xenoblade spoilers)
Metal Face is Mumkhar, because the latter only briefly appeared in the beginning and I didn't think much of him by the time Metal Face arrived.
lol nice
Pretty sure this happens to every time I use him. I should know better by now but it still happens :/

Now, that's a big spoiler about the character and wasn't what I was referring to
. Metal Face being a mech/robot thing isn't really a spoiler though.Mr. Smiley

His/her goddamn fault using a side B facing near a ledge. Jigglypuff sensed the scrub.
I disagree.
I thought Faced Mechon were actual machines for a long time, and could speak and have personalties because that's how they were programmed.

Did you make that GIF?
Because if you did, the slow-motion is perfect.

Of course it is impossible to know every hypothetical, but we do know one thing for certain--the Ice Climbers were running on the Wii U version and were cut due to the 3DS's limitations, straight from Sakurai's mouth. Trying to look for a reason in the Wii U version for them to be removed seems like an attempt to shift some of the burden off of the known culprit.

Is that Jolt Haymaker good for anything other than SDing?
It's like Raptor Boost but worse.

We know the Ice Climbers were running on the WiiU in some form, which may or may not have been a complete state, and at some point, which may be before or after more demanding modes like eight-player online were added. Bottom line is, we don't know. All we can say for sure is that 3DS roster parity played a role, but it wouldn't surprise me if other factors on the WiiU may have precluded them there, as well.

It's going to be the Mac equivalent to a Falcon Punch. I can see some hard reads leading to some insane game finishing KOs. And about 100x as many SDs.

One of the reasons I never talk about Xenoblade on GAF or any gaming forum is because no one has played the game despite being available on the worldwide market for 2 years. Which is honestly quite pathetic. It is kinda annoying to have to basically not be able to discuss a great game unless it's in complete spoiler tags and I'm far too lazy to do that.

That said I am looking forward to the Smash info on Thursday.

Isn't it projectile invincible?
I don't really follow why spoiler tags are an issue. Just click the button right there before you start typing about it.
Spoiler tags are friends of the world. ^.^

At the start of the leap, yes.
You can also end the jump early and throw a punch by pressing the special button.
You have no idea how much I'm shaking my head right now lol

Does that decrease the jump distance, though? I remember thinking it just allowed you to punch early, and you still travel roughly the same distance.
In tournaments I've seen people use it as a close range punish option out of shield.
