I've never understood the big deal about "representation" in Smash Bros. Taking more characters from the same series doesn't have any effect on how they play in the game.

I can understand wishing that characters that you like got in over ones you didn't but going 'personally i believe 5.50 pokemon characters is ideal balance for the roster' is dumb as gently caress

How likely is it that the Ice Climbers will show up as DLC later on? Will the 3DS limitations still keep them out of play?

Sakurai, you just displayed Bowser Jr.'s reveal trailer on the stream for the whole world to see. He doesn't need to be in the Secrets section of the smashbros.com website.

I wonder if it's not even just the 3DS that made them decide not to include the Ice Climbers, but eight player mode. I guess if it were only the latter, they could just disable them like they will most stages, but that'd blow.

I posted this mostly from memory earlier.

quote:

Mewtwo is being worked on and will be available in the spring. He's free if you own both versions of the game.
Stage builder lets you draw terrain freehand with the gamepad.
Online tournaments, same-console two-player online for team battles.
Eight player mode. Reduced stage count for this mode because most aren't big enough. There's a Big Battlefield for this mode (and maybe the rest?) Levels in 8P will have danger zones on the walls and ceilings and such that kill anyone over 100% that is knocked into them.
Amiibos are for white-rear end people.
:siren:THE SECOND BOMB IN TARGET SMASH ON WII U IS BIGGER THAN THE FIRST:siren:
Smash Tour is the board game mode. You play as a Mii, collect characters and Smash Run style power ups, and things happen on the board. It ends with a stock battle using the characters you collect.
The Bowser Jr./Koopalings trailer was shown, then it was revealed that all the character videos will be watchable in the game.
Classic mode works in some different way I didn't really follow. Master Fortress is an additional Master Core form on high difficulties, and is basically an entire Smash Run type stage from the look of it.

Because of an insidious train of thought that the characters are somehow competing for a limited number of slots and one being chosen means that they're somehow "stealing" it from whatever character or franchise the person prefers.

If that happens, I can't help but feel that they would combine the two. Either in style (Have Pit and Palutena use codec for the conversation) or just have the KI:U and MGS characters in one conversation.

Both of these sound like excellent ideas. Doc Louis would probably be restricted to the WVBA stage, but still good.

I don't understand why people actually like the koopa kids, they were pretty lame boss fights in Mario Bros 3 and World and it sucked they were brought back all the time as bosses in the New Super Mario Bros series instead of those games actually getting original bosses.

Nostalgia's a seductive liar and the koopa kids were there in the early days. Besides, those New Super Mario Bros games are deliberate call backs and, for some reason, absolutely huge in Japan.

They were brought back for nostalgia's sake, but Nintendo also went to the extra effort of updating their designs, and giving each one their own personality. I mean granted they're not having full scenes showing how robust their characterization is, but at this point they're popular not JUST because of nostalgia. It's cool that Nintendo gave them each some kind of personality. It's something they try to do with a lot of their Mario characters, even minor ones.
