Yeah, let's all cut the melodrama. Anyone want to obsess over Ghirahim instead? Seems he got edged out by other topics today.

Ghirahim's cool. Never got far in Skyward Sword personally, though.

ghirahim is an assist trophy, right?

@Baffle Blend: Nope. They were probably removed very early, while Pittoo and Dr. Mario were added really late. Just like Lucina was.

As Lucas nor Wolf are actually clones(they're very different with just a few identical or similar moves), Sakurai would be making them more similar to their counterparts. That wouldn't sit well with others. It makes more sense to finish them as DLC and make them more unique while keeping the extra guys. Clones are not that popular. Reducing an original character to a more cloneish one is even less popular. Also, they may be still in, as the final roster might not be that.

The only ones we should really worry about not being DLC is Ice Climbers. If they're aren't in now, the technical issues could actually be impossible to fix. The only other way would be to probably change it so you get one Climber, with a variation of the moveset. But that may or may not go well, so it's an iffy idea.

Yup. He's seen with his sword, so I'm envisioning one of his sword techniques being used, or maybe a teleport stab.

Yes, his tongue is its own Assist Trophy.

Why has everybody apparently forgotten the possibility that not every single character might be announced before release?

Because it's a horrible, awful and terrible suggestion.

Shame Fabulous Debbie means Dimentio is probably out of the running for assist trophy.

Ah well, Mr. Skeleton Pirate Head is still in the running.

[up][up][up]Not sure why you bring that up; everybody's been aware for a while now that Sakurai's unlikely to get through them all before the Japanese release.

Do you think there will be DLC? Nintendo's been kind of cautious about that. And since the general person doesn't know how game development works, the fact that Mario Golf's DLC was Day 1 kind of hurt the chances if you ask me.

@Perseus: Super SFIV, PSASBR, Toon Link, and Lucario all point to there not being any Unlockables this time.

[up] I'd pay a couple of dollars for costumes or stuff like that.

Lucario and Toon Link, okay, I'll give you that, but I don't see what any other games have to do with this.

If the reason some were cut were due to "not enough time", I'd say yes.

The only thing I can't really predict for DLC is who is on it. Besides the cuts(whoever they may be), at best. Snake I'm slightly iffy on, but that's a 3rd party thing. Wolf and Lucas, not so much. Ice Climbers entirely depends if he could ever fix the issue. Old stuff like Mewtwo or previous clones are possible too.

I'm pretty sure nobody is saying that about the Ice Climbers, Perseus. We're just not sure if they're back, plain and simple. It's "There's a fairly good chance they're cut, and the issue might not be fixable, but who knows."

[up][up][up]Super Street Fighter IV, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

[up]There's a practical reason those games don't have any Unlockables. Players don't want to have to unlock everything before setting up a match.

What do those have to do with whether or not there are unlockables?

I assumed as much. But I don't see why Smash needs to follow suit.
