I have been watching every ep of gameXplain where they analyze every new screen shot of the new SSB and gawd, it just gets better and better Yes, i actually watch there vids all the time, most reliable scource. Its funny cuz they arent an official review site/team, yet i like them more than the other IGNorant reviewers

Yeah, they're amazing. Best source I've ever seen on upcoming games, official or not.

definitely unbiased imo. Its cool they do analysis on things for sure!

OT: 4 new Franchises so far in SSB4! I really think they need to expand it this game. Give us the Reps of Golden Sun + Sin and Punishment!

I'm not optimistic at all about the character roster this time around. We can't just expect unending growth with each entry to the series. I voted 37-40, and I feel that's optimistic. We have 24 now, assume 10 will not be announced before release, then add 1 for each month until the end of summer. That's 40 characters. The last couple months won't have new characters because they'll be reserved for polishing the game, so no new characters announced in the fall. Holiday release. Sounds pretty realistic to me. I personally will be satisfied with a Brawl sized roster. If we end up with a 40+ roster, I'll be ecstatic. If we get close to or break 50, I'll jizz my damn pants. Mostly I just really want the game though, so even under 32 wouldn't disappoint me too much. It's pretty much guaranteed now to have a good bit more than Melee did, so that's not too bad.

Good news everyone! Sakurai's latest pic of the day confirms we have quite a few characters yet to meet. Not that you expected anything else, but for the few naysayers that thought there would be less than 32, Sakurai just said that to show a pic of every Final Smash, it would take "over a month's worth of posts." That pretty much confirms 32 plus, and makes over 40 seem quite plausible. Holy crap, what if he means there are 32 NEW final smashes? If a lot of characters keep their old one, that would mean a lot of newcomers!

Hopefully we get a character reveal today been a month, but if its not im ok with it. So much new details in the past month!

I'm still hoping Namco Bandai get a character or two since They're helping out with development.
