Honestly, it would just be bad UI design to have the starting roster be scattered around among a sea of locked slots.

SSB64 and Melee kept the starters centralized, and Brawl had a dynamic system where the slots shrank and reorganized as you unlocked more fighters. This is comparatively sloppy work!

It's also nothing that couldn't be assembled from the assets on the website and the glimpses of the UI we've already gotten. Call me when there's one with a new and high-quality render of an unrevealed character (or don't).

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but also even if they decided to have locked slots appear like that, they obviously wouldn't show them there in a build intended for use as a public demo. Both for aesthetic reasons, and because they also aren't likely to reveal the number of characters in the game that way.

Insert picture/gif of Senator Vreenak.

And someone quotes it and says "Senator Vreenak confirmed."

Followed by "Senator Vreenak is too big."

You know, despite all the rumors and rampant speculation; I think that nothing will ever eclipse the perfect, ultimate hype moment of the Mega Man reveal. I still watch the video every once and a while and I feel giddy all anew. He's perfect.

Agreed, though his final smash stoked that same flame. Funny how Nintendo can use Mega Man so effectively compared to another Japanese developer...

Megaman's final smash is great visually, but really boring mechanically. Just another generic "fire a big laser" move, which is what like half of the final smashes boil down to once you remove the visual flair.

I still think he should have gotten Rush armor. Although I suppose "temporary form-change buff" is what comprises the second half of final smashes, so that wouldn't be that unique either.

That'd be two spaces to the right of Samus. So he is trying to confirm Ridley. Samus, Zero Suit, Ridley.

Also maybe I'm just not clear on the story, but what is this guys alleged reason for not being able to take a picture of the full screen at once?

You can tell by those stain drops on the screen that that's Pepsi (Coke is a warmer brown) and if you know a thing or two about your sodas you can clearly see that would never be allowed in a Best Buy.

Hey guys, huge fan of Smash Brothers, I can't wait for it to come out! I got a 3DS all primed for when it is released, and should have a WiiU by the time winter rolls around. My question however, is does anybody here have any funny doge meme photoshops of Smash Brothers, for instance doge as master hand, or something of that nature? Thanks a million!

Previous demos for Brawl and Melee simply had unnavailable characters just gone, not locked spaces. Back at Jump Fiesta or w/e for Brawl the roster only had 8 slots or so of characters. No boxes or anything.

The only time we've ever seen locked boxes were early screens sent to Nintendo Power for Melee where in Zelda's select box was a ?.

It's also a really lazy photoshop and I don't know why we're still discussing it.

I remember when the real full Brawl roster came out like a day or two before the game's release in Japan and everyone thought it was fake because it didn't have the 200 characters they wanted in the game. :allears:

Little Mac there is just his official picture from the website slapped on, it still has the background and everything. So is Mega Man. It's really obvious how ripped they are from the website picture.

Also, in fairness to the fake, Brawl did the same thing. Their render for the select screen was the same as their render on the website.

Also, the images on the website are actually PNGs with transparent backgrounds. The gradient doesn't mean anything, and is actually darker than the one the website uses.

The main thing is that it avoids showing off anything that can't be assembled from public materials, and it features some weird and sloppy design choices.

But none of it's prerelease demos did. Sorry, should have clarified. In all instances of the game being playable beforehand, at presentations and such, both Melee and Brawl locked locked boxes.

I'm pretty sure Brawl's pre-release demos just had a small selection of characters with icons blown up larger to fill the whole select screen, following the same dynamic system the final release did.

EDIT: Yeah, here's a screen from a Brawl demo

Who is that supposed to be next to Zelda? Are those green things Little Mac's gloves?
If that's the case, then why does Little Mac appear here? His gloves aren't visible in this image, Pikachu isn't under him, and "Charizard" certainly doesn't begin with an R.

Ah, I see it now. I wonder which image they're basing that off of, since the main Link image they have on the site doesn't really look like it fits that profile. I'm not trying to say this is legit or anything, I'm just curious. That, and the Little Mac thing would have been a pretty obvious gently caress up.
