When he says "narrow down" he means specifically third party characters. The headline that the OP quoted is itself slightly erroneous.


I thought I'd read that too... So does that mean that there will be only ONE 3rd party character..? Or that he needs to narrow down his choices from what he's thinking of..?

Why are they removing characters? Are they planning for DLC selling strategy?

In the coming months, it will be a good debate over Nintendo and Sony's smash.


Not really.  Sony's "Smash" will alway be known as a rip-off, even if it turns out to be good (it should be good, given they're just making cosmetic changes to a winning formula).

But I don't think Sakurai should be taking characters out of Smash.  More characters should be included.  I bet everyone will be unlockable.

EDIT:  N/M

I want a Mewtwo that is overpowered.

Why?! Are you going to be a noob and use him all the time?!?!

Sounds like he's copying Sony.

Likely the latter, that there is a pool of candidates and that he just needs to get it down to the right set.

Do you need Ness and Lucas, Wolf, Falco, and Fox? Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Lucario, Pikachu, Pokemon Trainer.

There are characters with a lot of overlap that do not necessarily make great individuals.
Pokemon Trainer 2.0 should nab all the Pokemon in one shot.

Lucario and MewTwo should be by themselves. But I agree with the rest.

Title seems misleading on the narrower part. Sounds to me like he means the additions will need to be narrowed down from the available additions.

You can excise Lucas if you must, I guess - they'll drop Ike for the hero of the new game but they're never getting rid of Marth.

Ganondorf may not be in, at least not in the form we currently understand as Ganondorf. Even if he is, I expect he will be changed quite a bit, and bear almost no resemblance to Captain Falcon - for many reasons.

They'll probably keep Falco and Fox but Wolf doesn't stand a chance.

So many of the remaining characters are already really unique, though, so it's hard to say more.
