I too could never understand the mindset. How much do you have to love a character for his/her inclusion to be the biggest deciding factor? I mean, I played the shit out of Roy and Mewtwo in Melee and still loved everything Brawl had. As they say, "it is what it is".

That said, I cannot see the Ice Climbers not making it in, and I will admit it plays part of why I don't buy the leak. The duo have such a unique mechanic that the only possible reason Sakurai wouldn't immediately jump on it is if the 3DS couldn't handle it, and if I remember the specs right the 3DS should at the very least be on-par with the Gamecube.

I've never really had a main. I like to use everything the game has to offer.

If you don't buy something because you won't fully enjoy it, then you'll never buy anything in existence.

Or you have more time and money for things you may enjoy. And that's just my stance. Then there's the actual troper who made the comment, who said he'd still try it. I get that you guys are fans of the game, but I fell you should be more tolerant of people not wanting to buy it.

I want Ice Climbers too. Seriously, I love the guys. But the fact he said they gave him technical difficulties and has yet to show them back does mean them getting cut due to this is a possibility. He at one time had a picture of the Polar Bear up(seemed to be a Smash Run image?), but removed it quickly. That alone is a tiny bit suspicious. I believe it'll appear later, either to tell us he couldn't get them working, or after he announces them.

Also, there's a fair chance this isn't the final roster, so anybody not on it is still possible. I say wait and see, really.

"Pic of the day: I said I was running low on newcomer videos, but I never said anything about newcomers themselves. Here's Bowser Jr. in the Koopa Clown Car. Rumor has it he has lots of alternate costumes."

"Also, here's the veteran team, the Ice Climbers. We had some difficulty getting them to work on the 3DS, but thanks to the hard work of the developers, we were able to squeeze them in at the last minute."

That's an inaccurate assumption. A good bulk people I know who have mains, myself included, make it a habit of knowing how to play every character, or at least most. A "main" is not an "only," its the character a person plays in which they are either most effective or has the most fun doing so.

I could see it. I'd laugh more if he did a Wario/Dr. Mario veteran reveal at the same time.

This reminds me of how I actually kinda hate playing as the Ice Climbers because I had great difficulty using their recovery without Nana falling to her doom.

If there's one good thing about the leak, it's that it's thorough enough that we simply need to wait until the next character reveal. Unless it turns out to be Ice Climbers.

I'll be honest, "the roster may not be fully complete" is starting to bother me. I mean, it makes perfect sense, but 1)I've seen leaks reveal everybody, and 2)I can't help but see it as "I'm right if you can't prove me wrong", which is a bullshit argument.

Also, something I haven't seen discussed much: the stage select and the character select are separate enough entities that one could be true and the other could be false. Thoughts?

I read that as Chibi-Robo and thought. "...he's not too big?" Actually I think he's just a little taller than Olimar.

We were hoping to get Ridley in time, so we knew we had to have a bigger development team! That's why we brought on Gabe Newell!
