I don't understand why they treat adding an additional character as a new or separate announcement. Just give us the roster and then show gameplay. That's all they need to do.

It's all about marketing. The new Smash Bros was announced over a year ago, if they had released the whole roster at that time, the hype around the game would be much smaller today.

I understand wanting to stagger it, but look at the Directs. They treat single character announcements are big deals with absurd detail. I can't imagine other fighting games treating it's roster this way. It's just really odd. If this is a huge surprise that no one knew about or expected, then it'd be justified. But the "unknown" characters have most likely been leaked for a while (and if they just show vets that should have been included in the first place >_> )

Super Smash Bros is probably the most important Roster in gaming, its all about hype! The HYPE!!! I think this is the best thing they can do honestly, and its the only franchise (2nd time) we get daily/weekly news from :0
