Two questions-
- Is anyone else surprised that there isn't as much complaining about Greninja as they may of expected? I knew he was popular, but I didn't think he was Smash Popular.
- How unexpected would you all say Wire Frame Mac was? On a scale of 1 to Beyond Miss Fit.
The real pain is going to be avoiding spoilers. I'd have to drop this thread, yeah, but that's hardly it. I'd have to avoid threads or sites related to Nintendo overall (For example, look at how Serebii updates and documents Smash Bros. news if it relates to Pokemon; I could potentially be spoiled by them if there were a secret Pokemon character or something).
I'd probably have to avoid any site that allows for forum avatars, since someone somewhere is going to use spoileriffic screenshots as an avatar. I'd also have to avoid Brawl in the Family, which is a shame.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!At this rate, I'm going to guess that Mewtwo will be Lucario's costume, with Mega Mewtwo replacing Mega Lucario. They probably will use different voice quotes too, since I'm guessing Male Wii Fit Trainer won't share Female's voice.
Though Greninja aaaaaaah all of my love. Thank you for the surprise.

DeerPretty sure you'd have to give up remaining unspoiled at some point. No denying that the avatars will be everywhere.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guy@Nes Classic: Well, people here seem generally pretty mellow about unexpected characters, as long as they're unique. I've seen more people flipping out about Wii Fit Trainer and Rosalina elsewhere...but I don't know what the reaction to Greninja has been like. If there's little hate to be seen anywhere, it may just be because people are happy enough with all the other news to be majorly upset by his inclusion.
Welcome to th:|Didn't the Rosalina backlash take a little while to kick in as well?
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guy@Anomalocaris: That seems... dramatic. Especially for a game whose only secrets are not plot-related. But I guess I can kind of see where you're coming from with that.
@Zarek: I know right? I didn't even know Greninja and I think he looks cool. Overly Long Tongue has never looked so badass!

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."I know, I just wanted to try and avoid roster spoilers so I can get the best possible experience. It's frustrating that I basically can't do that.
I guess we'll have to wait and see the final release windows, though. For all we know the 3DS version might get pushed back, or the Wii U version might get pulled forward (Far less likely, but much better). Or Sakurai will out and out say "by the way no secret characters this time", in which case I'll be disappointed but at least have no reason to dodge spoilers.
I really hope the inevitable SSB 5 goes back to just being one version, the version split has been causing nothing but trouble for me.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Well, there's been like six months since X and Y's release...assuming they determined that Greninja was the most popular starter a month or less after its release, I could see them having it ready by now, if they've been giving him a fair amount of focus.

Welcome to th:|![]()
Sakurai has always considered each form of a transformation character as their own character though. And let's be serious here: Sakurai is a troll, but not a work-my-ass-off-making-a-completely-new-character-to-piss-off-X's-fans troll.

Either that or Nintendo is very well aware of Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja and predicted that Greninja would be the most popular starter.

If you ever played Kirby's Air Ride it is similar to City Trial.
Four players beat up CP Us and collect stats which they will then use after the 5 mins are up to level up their characters stats then the four players will start a match with those stats that they got through Smash Run.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure
