If you're talking about the guy under Mario, that's Luigi.

Ah, okay. I didn't see it clearly before. Still, I think it is fake, but you never know

Stupid question... Isnt Jigglypuff called Purin in Japan?
 
[quote name='Strell']Come on. It's not like that is a small number.[/QUOTE]


It's not! The new characters that we found out about via the Dojo have all been awesome! Pit? Meta Knight? Diddy? Dededede? OLIMAR?! Awesome!

But the secret ones? (Besides secret vets like Falco, Falcon, Jiggly, Luigi, Ness, Gannondorf, and G&W) aren't really all that exciting. Lucario I can accept.

Wolf? Rob? Young Link? C'mon. Did we really need a third Star Fox character? Did we really need Young Link again? I understand that he is a different charcter (and if he's Wind Waker Link he'll look pretty awesome, IMO)..but really? ..and R.O.B? Yeah, he's a WTF character. Who knows. Maybe he'll be fun to play as. But there are just a lot of OTHER possabilities. Saki from S&P *should* have been a character, instead of an AT.

What's with the lack of females too? I would of preferred Krystal over Wolf anyday. Dixie would of made an excellent clone of Diddy. Would it have been really that much to name & voice Peach's second costume as "Daisy"? It would be like taking Mario, making 1 of his costumes "Dr. Mario" and just having the announcer say "Dr. Mario".

I just think there could of been better choices, overall. I do expect to see a massive amount of AT's, though.

That's a fake. Here's the real one.

Notice how the portraits for Toon Link and Purin (which the fake lists as Jigglypuff) are different. Also the placement of the characters. Each series is represented in a column - first is Mario, second DK, ect. And Wolf hasn't been unlocked yet in this pic, but he'll fit in nicely next to Dedede.

They're going to call him "Toon Link"? I think I'm going to cancel my preorder now. That's terrible.

At least in the Japanese version. The word "toon" doesn't have as much of a stigma over there as it does here.

Surely it will get translated to something different here in the US.

Hahaha. Wow. This is insane:

Are you sure you want to see it?
I'm warning you!

I'm not really disappointed by the number of characters (although it's smaller than I expected), unless, there are a lot of clones. There will be disappointments for sure with any game, but I think some of the characters included are a bit puzzling more than anything else. I think a lot of people are bitching about not having so-and-so character in there because it's a huge part of the game. Also, Nintendo was really pushing the, "the roster is going to be so huge and insane!" angle on us. In reality, the roster is not as big as expected and there are some glaring omissions.

It's still going to be a great game, but it could have been marginally more exciting with some changes.

[quote name='lilboo']*ranting*[/QUOTE]

Look, the point is that there is no way Sakurai could live up to the potential of X character and Y character.

None.

Throwing up your arms and complaining that the game is already a disappointment just sounds silly right now.
 
My main complaint is that Star Fox does not need 3 characters. Especially when the likes of Custom Robo, Golden Sun, and Advance Wars aren't being represented at all. Not to mention the series has pretty sucked after 64.
 
As someone else said, this game is really just a love letter to fans.

It's perfect, even it's flaws are great. (minus no online stats, that's a no no)
 
[quote name='Strell']At this point I'm trying to figure out

1) If the clones from the last game are still clones in this game (Ganondorf, Falco, and so an extent Marth in this case)

2) Just who got left out, since I'm counting pretty much everyone except Mewtwo and Pichu. Oh and Dr. Mario and Young Link.

If you are disappointed by the roster, though, you are a sad person in a sad world with sad cookies.[/QUOTE]

If there are practically no clones, then I really have no complaints.

I found this on GameFAQs from a poster named MegaMarth. I thought it was interesting regarding people's complaints:

It's painfully obvious that this board is in turmoil over the leak. You can see all five stages very clearly, and I was just wondering what the general consensus was.

Question: What stage are you in?
(NOTE: tl;dr at bottom)

Denial
You do not believe that a certain bit of info is real, or that another row could be tacked onto the current roster screen. (NOTE: This does not mean that there will not be one, just that this is how you feel about it)

Anger
You are miffed, angry, or even infuriated about some, or all of the information. You may funnel this rage towards one M. Sakurai, blaming him for the failures of the game, or at many things. You may not be angry at any one specific thing, but you may be angry about many many little things. Why, after two soul crushing delays do we still have clones? Why on earth do we get this character over a more deserving one? If they hadn't put SSE in, there could have been so much more in the multiplayer areas of the game that folks are actually getting this for! (NOTE:Anger is a necessary part of the healing process. For those of you whining about those ignited with fury are small minded buggers.)

Bargaining
You think there may be a way to salvage things. Sure, it's borked beyond belief, but there could possibly be things we haven't thought of yet. There may be downloadable content, or some such. You may have become lost in a maze of “If only…” or “What if…” statements.(NOTE: Your situation may vary heavily, so just use your best judgment on this level)

Depression
You've moved past the denial and being pissed, and your attention has come to focus solely upon the present. You've just experienced great loss. Your character has been ignored in favor of some ancient, failed NES accessory. There won't be any surprises or delights for you on launch day. What's the point. You waited six years for a half-baked idea that you up until now believed could be immaculate. Your dreams, hopes, and very soul have been crushed under a heaping mound of bull.

Acceptance
You have moved past the problems, and realized that the game is how it is, no matter what happens, and you're just going to have to make the best of it. You may see the positive points of it now, have a change of opinion, or you could just decide you have to live with it, and sit in quiet complatence.


Post the stage you believe yourself to be at. If you feel the urge, feel free to leave a short (or long) message to go along with your answer.

I kind of went straight for the last two. The second to last one lasted me about 5 seconds before I realized I'm going to buy the game anyways. I am going to get two copies, so I can kick my nephew's ass.
 
I'm just peeved that Sakurai didn't deliver on his promise of more villains, in a game with a clearly villain-centric single player mode. Sure, we got Wario, Metaknight, Dedede, & Wolf, but they're all more or less anti-heroes, not villains.

King K. Rool
Ridley
Birdo
Black Shadow
Eggplant Wizard
Bowser Jr.
Samurai Goroh
Mother Brain
Mewtwo
Some Earthbound Villain

Missed potential? You bet yer' ass it is.
 
[quote name='ChibiJosh']He's a giant Mother 3 spoiler, that's who he is.[/QUOTE]

Well, delete that quote. I've deleted it from my previous comment. I apologize.
 
This isn't really a spoiler, but i'm putting it in tags because someone will complain

Do we actually know that the "clone" characters are still clones? It doesn't affect me that much, I'm just happy Ganondorf's in
 
God. Just HOURS until I can play this masterpiece.

I've been diligent in avoiding ALL the recent spoiler tags on here, despite the fact that some BASTARDS insist on discussing things without them.

Oh and Japan? If SSBB is sold out at my local store, kiss your sandal wearing, goldfish tending ASS goodbye.

(Not sure if anyone cares anymore, but today's Dojo update explains the character select screen and shows off the starting line-up for anyone who hasn't seen spoilers elsewhere)

It seems the number of "exact" clones has been reduced. No more Dr. Mario, no more Pichu. As to whether Ganondorf and Falco are still clones, that remains to be seen...

I guess you imported a copy? Sweet. Let us know how it is.
 
after reading the descripton of the post on Kotaku. I've decided I'm out. No more Smash addiction for me until at least the US release date. Maybe even later if I can't get it on D1. It's been real folks. I'll catch you in a while.

Don't count on it. Most distributors are only getting 25% of their expected copies.
 
Short rant here, but during the flood of info, I couldn't stand reading the posts at GameFaqs. So many people bitching about the final roster made me say WTF? I guarantee these people would not be bitching if it wasn't for the DoJo. Don't they realize that if we never had the DoJo, we would have been having nerd-gasms finding out about so many characters at once?

[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']Thats not an estimate. FedEx already has it.[/quote]

Oh, okay...you suck?

Oh, I looked at the My Music list. The Song for Shadow Moses Island look pretty good. They already showed us the MGS4 Love Theme, which is quite pretty. But the list also includes "Encounter," from MGS1. That's the boss battle theme from Metal Gear Solid. Awesome.
