tbone51 said: Sheik didn't count cuz she be character slot off of zelda+ i didn't mention Zero suit samus which is semi confirmed for SSB4. Now there 18 revealed(23 counting Newcomers), SSB wont come out anytime soon, i say Oct-Dec release. Thats awhile from now, even if they reveal 10 characters (lets say 7 more veterans, 3 newcomers), you have to remember that there are secret characters! They dont show everybody cuzthat would spoil the entire game! SSBB had 35 characters (39 technically but 35 slots). Out of the 39 total characters, 27 were revealed (though Sonic+Snake were to be unlockable) which makes 10 unnannounced characters! So SSB4 is already at 23 while nowhere near release vs SSBB 27(this includes Sheik+ZSS+Pokemon Trainers other 2). The only thing i find weird is that out of the 23 characters, i see 3 of the them being unlockables |
Woah! That really puts things into perspective! We'll probably be at 27 by E3 alone, not counting sheik, ZSS, or Pokemon Trainer. That really gives me hope that we'll at least be close to Brawl's roster. I was worried we'd barely beat Melee this time around, but this is really encouraging! We might end up with 36 slots, over 40 characters at this rate! Well, if they follow the same pattern as last time, that is, and have a lot of secret characters.
Alright, change me to yes. Sakurai did say he'd put unique characters as having priority over cloney characters.
