    I don't get why people think adding a character is going to push everyone over to the right (or down a column where appropriate).

    I mean, why the hell would you just think shit would be tossed in randomely like Melee did? As long as the characters end up together, thats all that matters.

    Hell, in the final version of the roster, Mario might be in the bottom right, and Lucas in the top left. Who cares.

    Well 35 does feel 3 or 4 too little.

    why?

    A team of around 100 people have been working on Brawl for 2+ years, with access to all the development materials from Melee given to them by HAL Labs. It just don't add up to me. Melee was rushed and had 19 unique characters and 6 clones, Brawl has roughly twice the development time(Couldn't find an exact timeframe for Melee's development) and all the old code on hand. I'd expect 38-40 unique characters minimum. If they did this with only 35 it better be the best damned balanced fighting game ever released, and even then the newcomers in the 'leak' that they haven't announced are the definition of lackluster. If the roster is actually that 35 they could have picked much better hidden characters than they supposedly did. But regardless, the numbers involved for the amount of development this game got just feels wrong.

    I don't see why the game needs that many characters

    there were 25 in melee, and considering a few of those were clones, and everyone in brawl supposedly has a unique moveset, that seems like plenty of work done to me

    Melee may have had 19 unique characters, but 12 of those were from SSB. That means Melee had 7 new characters. Brawl, so far, has had 11 newcomers announced, another one confirmed, Zero Suit Samus if you want to count her, and this is before any unlockables (aside from Snake and Sonic) are taken into account.

    And how long was Melee in development? "Rushed" is not a measurement of time. "Rushed" just means the game was pushed out the door before they wanted it to be.

    Yeah I read that, too.

    I have nothing to say about it though. I mean, that guy could tell Smashboards that Pichu is the most powerful character of all, and they'd all buy it.

    It just seems so complex.

    why design the page, so that everything looks all messy, so it can be cleaned up. Melee didn't do that. Melee looked clean and organized at start, and at finish.

    Meh, I'm still of the position of being skeptical of any leaks...that don't include Ridley and Megaman. Or at the very least, one other third party character. Two just seems like such a strange number to limit the game to. Besides, they seem to be intent on giving every major series a villain, so leaving the Metroid series without a Ridley, or at least a Dark Samus or one of the Hunters, violates the pattern. Frankly, without that system, Wolf makes little sense as well.

    Desperate attempts at rationalization? Absolutely, but I'll take what I can get, at least for the next 1.5 weeks. Oh, here's a question. Come the Japanese release, we'll surely find complete character lists almost immediately, as everyone here anticipates. Fine, but won't the number of leaks expand exponentially as well? How will we sift the real ones from the fakes? Or will we rely on Japanese-based gamers and importers among the collective here?
