That wasn't meant to be directed at you in particular, and I apologize if it came off that way. Those dismissive statements just annoyed me, as if they're objective facts that need no evidence and discussion should shut down just because one person doesn't think it's worth having.
Anyway, assuming the DLC part of the rumor is true, I'm satisfied with the roster. Bowser Jr. seems like a neat character concept, and stuff like Duck Hunt Dog and Dr. Mario returning are weird, pleasant surprises. Even if the DLC part is fake, the characters removed weren't my favorite anyway, though I feel bad for people who liked them.
The real travesty is the stage selection in the 3DS version.

It may not be a complete list so let's just wait.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau Project@Irene: Alright, I wasn't able to explain this fully last time, but might as well now:
What you're describing is a stack
, the concept of having, well, a stack of elements, with the first element being the lowest down. As a coding thing (usually done via Linked Lists) it really shouldn't be tied with the UI, but if for some stupidly inefficient reason it was, then by that logic Shulk, Mega Man, Pac Man, Sonic, and Random were all added after Lucina (and this is assuming the UI is different between the screens).
It was probably put together quickly enough to make the videos for the ERSB to rate.

Also, this means it's not the final roster. To note, this is the same person who leaked the images(note the DLC part was not from the same leakers, so that shouldn't be taken into account) previously. I do not know if they actually leaked the videos, but very likely so.

As I said, maybe it was just a beta roster(or they didn't have time to put together a better version). We're apparently getting more characters, so I wouldn't worry at this point. And I do understand that.

Shadow?Welp, cancel my pre-order. Thanks for the warning, leaker.
...or not... Sakurai has us by the balls and he knows it. He could put fifteen clones of Strawberry Shortcake in the roster and we'd still buy it, wouldn't we?
"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — Ultimatepheer@Baffle: Or you could just be unnecessarily overdramatic. My god, dude. That whole joke about people being so overwrought about game features that they cancel their pre-orders? You are actually doing that seriously.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectBleh, next Smash I'll make sure to just look at the official news so I can still be surprised. The entire shock over Duck Hunt being in the game is just gone now since I know what to expect.
Well, at least I still have Greninja. Man, I was ectastic when it was revealed, shame everything else was leaked.

You can't pretend to not be disappointed, though. Seriously, with the exception of Villager and MAYBE Mac, the only newcomers are extremely minor characters.

Everyone cut it out with the drama. It's just a game; you should just relax.

Well hell. That's pretty damning evidence right there.
I will say this though: This in no way indicate that the roster in the "leak" (if real) is final. We may still get Ridley, Mewtwo and others entirely and the prospect of DLC is very very real (so Ice Climbers may return one day).
no Bayonetta though...edited 25th Aug '14 7:38:05 AM by nigelstack345
