Seems my greatest fear has come true in regards to smash. The 3ds version is indeed holding the Wii U version back. This is extremely disappointing to me.

3DS version holding back the Wii U version.
I'm almost 100% sure Snake is returning. There's a reason the Sony Smash knockoff got Raiden.
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.
Worst news we could possibly get next to Sonic not coming back.
Olimar not making the cut?
It's only holding it back in terms of the character limit.Seems my greatest fear has come true in regards to smash. The 3ds version is indeed holding the Wii U version back. This is extremely disappointing to me.

- DLC is a possibility, but not currently in the cards
- Gameplay will be somewhere between Melee (fast and competitive) and Brawl (slower and casual)
Makes sense, but imo they should focus on the console version. I can't even see myself playing SSB on a handheld.

Wow.
This was my greatest fear about the series going handheld. I now expect the roster to be somewhere in between Melee and Brawl in terms of size.
I'd rather have a more interesting character like Bayonetta, Smash needs more females anyway.

Sakurai has said in the past that he doesn't want to focus on the increasing the roster size, so I'm already expecting a roster only slightly bigger than Brawl.
The news only reconfirms that point.
Olimar not making the cut?
So Smash 64 physics and speed? YES PLEASE
Fuck this shit. The 3DS version needs to be cancelled.
cancel 3DS version plz
Fuck this shit. The 3DS version needs to be cancelled.
If the roster isn't over at least 40 then cancel the 3DS version
I'm half serious
I'm really hoping the Wii U version doesn't get fucked because of the 3DS version..
This is good to hear. I know competitive players don't like hearing it- but Melee's hyper-fast/sensitive controls made the game a lot harder to control for many casual/inexperienced players than SSB64, and its good that they're trying to find a balance between the two extremes.http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/13/e3-2013-no-plans-for-smash-bros-dlc-tripping-removed

That's the only part I really care about...
This new Smash Bros might have a slimmer roster?
Hmmm. This doesn't really bother me right now. I expect this game to have 10 new characters at minimum.
Also, I don't expect this game to have a slim roster just because of the 3DS version. If anything the 3DS version will have a slim amount of stages, which is totally fine. I expect the Wii U version to have a boatload of stages comparable to Brawl, but the 3DS version to have maybe...half the amount of stages of the Wii U version. Wouldn't that free up space for a big roster of characters?
The fact that both versions will have the same amount of characters makes me happy. I NEED the Wii Fit Trainer in my fighting game life.
No way, i can't wait to play smash bros on the go. He just needs to remove cross-play and not worry about the rosters being identical. I'd be ok with them being completely different games.
lol @ 10 new characters
less than melee?
I'd rather get Simon, to be honest.I had a feeling Snake wouldn't be returning, but this roster news makes me even more sure that he won't be.

I hope not, Snake is out of place in Smash, he's not a character that anyone associates with Nintendo. Kojima got his wish last time, that's enough free advertising for him. The last MGS on a Nintendo console was for Gamecube, MGSV is not on WiiU, Sakurai would be an idiot to put Snake in Smash again. Especially since he doesn't like third party characters and only wants two or three at the maximum. I'd rather have a more interesting character like Bayonetta, Smash needs more females anyway.
So it seems those 3 characters probably won't be shown today...shame.
But again, who knows still a few hours left.

Wow, cancel the fucking 3DS version. I dont even care about it.
Wheres the rumored Mac, PacMan and Mii?

Adam Orth?
I don't think that's what they're saying.
Yeah, that's the impression I got out of what he said, not "we're cutting a boatload of characters." Just that there are some characters' playstyles that might have to be changed. I could see Pokemon Trainer being a potential problem on 3DS too.
