Smash Brothers has killed my desire to play video games...

I simply just hoped popular and appropriate characters like Midna and Krystal included, there is no reason either couldn't have made the grade. Also since they said there was room for a third 3rd party character most of us assumed there would be one.

Dissapointed or not, Everyone in this thread expected a larger roster, stop kidding yourselves. I'm not that bothered by it, nor should anyone else, but to say I was unphased by it would have just been a lie. Honestly I'm bothered more by Wolf's Final Smash than the roster, but even then that's not a big deal what-so-ever.

I don't appreciate the fact everyone here assumes my comment on the issue means I had wide eyed expectations of everything from Sephiroth to George W. Bush being in this game. I may make fantasy roster threads, but that's more food for thought and something to do in the mean time until this game comes out.

Okay, there are 39 characters selectable from the menu of this game, compared to 26 from Melee, and 12 from 64. The increase in roster size was larger when you consider that there were 5 worthless characters from Melee removed, making a total increase of 18 characters. Not only that, but the quality of increase was much better.

We got completely unique characters like Olimar who are far too strange to have ever made it in Melee or 64 were most characters were largely derivative. And yes, I actually predicted 35-40 characters, and we got 35 character icons and 39 characters with different movesets. So no, I'm not kidding anyone, I'm just not ignorant of the Smash franchise like you are.

naznatips,

I have to disagree with you on one point. Mewtwo was not worthless. That character had a unique moveset. And could have replaced wolf, who is a refined fox clone. That's my disappointment. If they would have given Woft his own Smash or a more unique moveset I would not be disappointed. I'm lying. I wanted Krystal to be in the game.
