I want someone to record Melee and Brawl with Mario and Bowser on Battlefield in idle poses to compare.
Where is that footage from?
Also, GODDAMN this game is impressive, visually.

All of the Mega Man avatars are very confusing. Mega Man is making lots of posts.
Eh, lots of folks are going to call it Smash regardless of subtitle. Not a big deal for me.
Wow. Such a letdown

Feel like its an excuse, but if it's a card limitation why not make some of the content be digitally downloaded to the SD card as a "required update". Or they can tone down the graphics more :/

- DLC is a possibility, but not currently in the cards
- Gameplay will be somewhere between Melee (fast and competitive) and Brawl (slower and casual)

That would mean they'd have to drop a lot of characters already

Seriously, we need gifs from Melee and Brawl for a good comparison.

How many characters do you think there will be? I hope at least the same amount a in Brawl. I don't want many less

GREAT NEWS! NOW I CAN SHUT UP WITH Exclusive characters but I'm concerned with who are getting cut. Since they mentioned Ice Climbers so is it possible that they are cutting them out due to difficulty with 3DS.
If they get rid of ike to make room for chrom, i'd like to see a strong, heavy swordsman, and Ganondorf/Demise would do the trick.
Eh, that's kinda lame. I wished they would be more creative. No big deal though.
Because not everyone has their 3DS connected to the internet?
Even though they should.

So close to perfect. I know people love Melee, but it's too fast for my liking.
The fact he says he's gonna have to cut people scares me though....

I don't think the roster will be too small. I'd guess Sakurai's just trying to dial back people who think we're getting 60+ characters.
I very much think he'll go for a 50 character sweet spot, give or take a few. 45 at the absolute least. In a game like this, characters mean a lot. They are basically the full advertising power when it comes right down to it.

On the other hand, I was sure Brawl would have a 50 character roster... but if I keep saying the next Smash will have 50 characters I have to be right eventually.
Faster gameplay is great news.

Wow. What the fuck.
That sucks
Okay, let's not be seriously ridiculous here. Pokemon is too big of a franchise to have just one character. Come on....
I didn't hear anything about this, but I think Pikmin 3 has a different protagonist?

cancel 3DS version plz
Worst news we could possibly get next to Sonic not coming back.
I already dread the tears people are gonna get when their main is cut.

I'm wondering if the limitations have to do with the 3DS resolution. Because that's really the only limiting factor I can think of for the system at all. Big stages would suck, and if the game is designed around smaller stages some characters might have to be adjusted a bit to compensate?
Certainly no reason for a reduced roster.
And I find it hard to believe that DLC isn't being considered. Not having DLC is throwing so much money away.

Agreed. Considering Brawl had 35 (39 if you wanna get more technical with ZSS, Pokemon Trainer as 3 separate characters, and Zelda/Shiek), we already have 3, meaning there could be about 12 new comers to total 50. That's honestly the most I'm expecting.

Fuck this shit. The 3DS version needs to be cancelled.http://kotaku.com/dont-expect-a-lot-of-third-party-characters-in-the-nex-513203533

I had a feeling Snake wouldn't be returning, but this roster news makes me even more sure that he won't be.

I'm almost 100% sure Snake is returning. There's a reason the Sony Smash knockoff got Raiden.

That's my biggest worry. Snake was great in Brawl. I'll be sad if he doesn't make it in SSB4.
He didn't say he'll have to cut -- only that it's a possibility. He said "some characters might have to be reduced" (as in their abilities scaled back), and "we're trying to get in as many characters as possible." If Ice Climbers is one of the character posing technical problems for the 3DS, I imagine Olimar is another, since he has a gaggle of Pikmin that follow him around at all times. I wouldn't assume they'll be cut, but the way they play may be tweaked.

I'm really hoping the Wii U version doesn't get fucked because of the 3DS version..

If the roster isn't over at least 40 then cancel the 3DS version
I'm half serious

Olimar not making the cut?
Yeah, it sounds the right interpretation for his words.

I've been saying since the beginning that I wanted the 3DS version to be its own weird thing.

Less stages for the 3DS to have more characters then.
Best case scenario = huge roster, but 3DS versions of characters are scaled back
I'd hope that unique movesets won't get cut and it's mostly just the clones on the chopping block... although who knows what crazy things can happen. Gonna be a fun year of speculation!

Too bad Nintendo didn't have a press conference. The roars of the audience collectively losing their shit at the Megaman reveal would have been nice to behold.
Sounds great, thanks for posting. Roster cuts are worrisome, but at the same time I can't imagine them removing too much. Like if they had to make a choice between Wii Fit Girl and say, Ganondorf, I want to believe they'd keep Ganondorf.
