I think there's going to be at least one new character for DLC. Kind of a waste to only make characters that were already in the game.
And I''ll be right behind her.

It's not.
I wish I had :/ I decided to wait to see how online was on 3DS. Wish I hadn't.
Not official nintendo ones
I am too. I think I'm going to spend my new tv budget on amiibos, though.
I'll probably get a new TV for Zelda Wii U next year.
Add-On Content Pack #1 (Pokémon):
- Mewtwo
- Squirtle
- Ivysaur
Note: You can also buy them individually. Already have Mewtwo via the 3DS/WiiU promotion? Get Squirtle and Ivysaur at a discount.
Add-On Content Pack #2:
- Ice Climbers
- Lucas
- Wolf
Note: Ice Climbers have been reworked so that Popo and Nana are inseparable -- thus, no AI routine is needed for Nana, and they'll work on 3DS. Overall, it's a buff to the character.
Add-On Content Pack #3 [Newcomers]:
- Captain Toad
- Chorus Men
Note: Chorus Men are inseparable, like new Ice Climbers, making them work on 3DS and WiiU. Also, Captain Toad includes a Toadette alt.
Add-On Content Pack #4 [Newcomers]:
- Dixie Kong
- Inklings
Note: Inklings include male and female variants.
- Mewtwo
- Squirtle
- Ivysaur

No chain grabs = buff. Sure...

But 1080P, 60 FPS, 8 player smash. I don't know if I can resist. I bought my current TV 4 + years ago and it just looks so small and lonely now.
I like it all except having that many Pokemon.
OK, so a nerf and a buff. That's called balance!

You need a way to contain 8 smashers. 60 inches or bust
Nintendo doesn't do either of those things for new titles on the eShop.
Well, I already have a 42" 1080p LCD TV that does 60FPS, but I was looking to upgrade to a bigger (50"+) LED TV.
I'm assuming mewtwo is the end of it just so I don't get my hopes up. The only weird thing is that he is SPRING, which means some development team (no matter the size) is going to be working on smash until spring, at least. Seems weird that they'd be there til spring JUST for mewtwo.
Nintendo doesn't, though. Smash is their biggest release this holiday and it'll likely be one of the biggest releases that the WiiU will ever see. They're going to do their damndest to milk it.

This idea that certain franchises "deserve" more reps than other franchises still cracks me up.

You can use a TV for more than Smash, whereas Amiibos..
I can also use for more than smash! Smash, Mario Kart, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors!
My TV isn't horrible by any means, though. I just want to make it bigger! It's already 42" and I sit like 5 feet away.

Or realistically, you'll be looking at them on your shelf lol. Now imagine a new TV with those games ;]

Before we even saw the first trailer for Smash I just knew the shoe ins of the game would be Mewtwo, Palutena, Little Mac and Dixie Kong. Even after the final roster was leaked I knew it was only a matter of time before Mewtwo came back as DLC along with newcomer Dixie Kong.
I didn't even need Spainkiller for the good faith I just knew eventually they would all become reality.

Obviously Sakurai believes this or else we'd have 5 Pikmin reps.

As long as its a pretty big TV, why would it be wrong?
I remember playing 4 player SSB64 on a 19" tube TV, that was crazy.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Well, it's depend on how old your television or do your television have any issues? I don't blame people for buying new hd tv for Smash U because it LOOOK SO GORGEOUS!
That's weird that Nintendo wouldn't restock the LAN adapter after Sakurai adverting it in both directs.
I don't really expect any dlc characters other than Mewtwo but it don't hurt for some people to discuss about dlc characters.
Truth be told - playing SSB4 on a big TV was actually one of the reasons I exchanged my 25" TV (reused as new monitor) with a 42" TV
It's weird, they do DLC preorders for their own titles but no actual games.
But pretty much everything is a midnight launch for them now so I guess it's not terrible, just kind of mismanaged.
Maybe someone can find the quote, but I recall Sakurai saying he's "not even halfway done" (or something to that effect) with Smash 3DS/WiiU, implying he's going to keep working on content after the WiiU version is out. Which we know is already the case with Mewtwo, and I'm sure Nintendo will have other characters for DLC this spring, as well. I mean, look at the continued support for Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart 8. I have to imagine Nintendo can and will make a killing on Smash DLC.
But even if Mewtwo were the only character, that'd be fine. I just don't see any problem discussing DLC. I think there's a very good chance we'll see quite a bit of it.

Since you guys are talking about TVs. I'm pretty weird where I prefer to game exclusively on a 23" screen, if I'm playing alone.
Has the ASUS "Evo" Monitor been replaced with something better? I loved that monitor and I actually liked that it had built in speakers.
Just need somthing with next to no input lag for something like Smash.

Like I said, perhaps multi-man characters like Ice Climbers and Chorus Kids can be reworked so the characters are inseparable. Thus, Nana and the other Chorus Kids wouldn't need their own AI routines. They'd just magnetically snap to the lead character wherever he goes. That should free up significant CPU resources and make them more akin to a regular character.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I'd prefer 'costume swap' DLC, myself.

seeing Wolf in DK's clothing is a must

Those aren't the same things. The Pokemon games are seperate pieces of Software. They're not going to have people pay for characters that they can't play online and can't play with the majority of their friends.
Pic of the day. The color variations for Shulk are all based off outfit colors of his travel companions excluding one of them. Lucina's color variations are also based off the female characters in Fire Emblem Awakening.
Why is Riki Shulk staring at Swim trunk Shulk's bulge?
I just worry about the congestion of trying to download the game during that first weekend. I think I'm just going to end up going physical to guarantee I get it that Friday.
The thing is, they won't be able to buy them if they are using an OG 3DS, and if they become n3DS exclusive I mean they are also going to be playable in the Wii U version (And yeah, I realize I used the word exclusive badly, sorry for that), so you can play them in both the n3DS and Wii u version as extra features...
But again, this is all speculation I know it really is not likely, but if the excuse for IC to not be playable was the limited hardware of the OG 3DS, then that excuse can be worked around with the new 3DS.
And with Pokemon I mean games that are supposed to be from the same generation, Pokemon platinum had the Rotom-Formes and the Origin Giratina and you couldn't use them against friends with Diamond/Pearl, of course at that time it was excusable since there was no way to patch them in, but nowadays we just got confirmation that some megaevolutions are going to be only usable in OmegaRuby/AlphaSaphire, and not compatible with X/Y, games that can be patched to add that functionality. I really don't have an issue with this, just mentioning precedents of exclusive features from Nintendo games.
Yep. And I have no doubt Squirtle and Ivysaur DLC would make Nintendo a LOT of money. The power of Pokémon! :-3

Gengar is my favorite Pokemon, so I would be ecstatic if it was ever playable. Of course it's a pipe dream at this point, but it would be fantastic.
I'm glad Gastly gets at least a little love in Smash Run. And Chandelure as well.
Everyone gets Donkey Kong clothing
You're new to the whole "selfcest" idea, aren't you?

Poor Mawile and Lilligant never get any love
That said, there are Petilils in smash run but I just feel guilty whenever I have to hit them XD

I'm thinking of going from 42" to 60", but I am also having insane thoughts about how much that will cost.
MUST. RESIST.

I have a feeling in a year or so they'll announced "Super Smash Bros 4 New 3DS: Director's Cut Edition"
It'll contain all of the DLC released up to that point on the cart, plus Ice Climbers and a few other characters.
They'll also take the original Smash Bros 4 Wii U out of print and replace it with the Director's Cut, which also comes with all the DLC, New 3DS characters and feature enhancements.
Regular Wii U users could upgrade for a small fee (like 5-10 dollars).
The 3DS version will be left on its own, and no longer supported.

I have a 47-inch, and watched GameXplain's 1080p footage of 8-player Great Cave Offensive on it. Looked perfectly fine. I'm sure your 42-inch will manage it just fine, as well.
