For DLC characters I'd love for SS Impa and Dixie alongside veterans. And of course Ridley...
For costumes I need OoT and SS packs for the Zelda characters, I don't like the TP designs (and hopefully they fix Link's face for the different alts).

Inkling being new is precisely why it's a smart move. Put an Inkling in Smash, and the Smash install base now has Splatoon on their radar, whether the game's out or not. The Wooly World stage may have a similar effect.

Ill take it that reviewers should wait until they test the online before they post reviews.
But they probably won't!

Pajamas Toon Link is better.
Costume DLC would be great - I'd like Olimar/Alph, along with the male/female variants of Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, and Robin to get eight new colors each (to match up with Little Mac), and more colors/alts for other characters too, like a "Justin Bailey" colored Zero Suit Samus.
Mario Kart 8 has got me thinking about Smash Bros. DLC again. What does everyone’s updated wish list look like? Here’s my top five after Mewtwo (no Assist Trophies, Poké Balls, or stage hazards):
Any single one of those would make me happy.
That seems like a really solid list, though I wouldn't really care if either Wolf or the Inkling got in.
Personally, I just REALLY want Chorus Kids, Wonder Red, and Lucas (though my hopes for the little guy are kinda low).

I have not tried that, but I should tonight.
A lot of them won't be able to even if they'd like to, like myself. I'm required to have my review online right at embargo.
Only DLC I really want is Lucas and Wolf. I'd rather they save newcomers for new games but I wouldn't be shocked by a DLC newcomer.
My default choice for most wanted newcomer is Chibi-Robo but even I know there's no chance there, so I'll instead hope for Dixie Kong. More DK reps would make me happy and she seems like one of the likeliest DLC picks.

Yeah, that's what I figured for most sites. Early bird catches the hits!
Anyway thanks for your impressions and good luck finishing the review. I'm looking forward to seeing where this scores. I am imagining between 8 and 10, so 9. I don't think a lot of people give credit to this series for what it has done for fighting...even today. Even when you look at the scores the first one got, people wrote it off.

Top 5 DLC would be:
1) Snake
2) Lucas
3) Chorus Kids
Those three really are all I want. But I guess if I had to choose a 4 and 5...
4) Dixie (I guess)
5) Ice Climbers

Can you confirm.that Bowsercide on both players' last stocks results in sudden death, that you can assign multiple buttons.to shield, and that Bowser.can still short hop, air dodge, and then cancel the landing lag with Fortress?
What does it say about me that I'd welcome Snake's return more for the Codecs than for the chance to play as the guy? As good as a handful of the Guidances are, the Codecs are godly in comparison. Metal Gear Solid music would be gooood, too.
But I don't really think he'd be DLC. I think Wolf and Lucas both have solid chances. I'd love if they were part of a DLC bundle with Mewtwo as veterans of Smash, coupled with old stages that haven't been repeated yet.

LUCASSSSS
I'd wonder if they could keep framerate with 24 models of a simple character like that in 8 player matches, while still allowing Pokeballs and Assists. The AI might not work like ICs, but I'd worry about overloading a different way.
The idea of them in gameplay with rhythm sounds super fun. But I just have doubts about it...my hopes of awesome DLC are not so high, so that way I can be happy with the Smash we get.

I'm not big on the Inkling at all, honestly. Splatoon just really hasn't caught my eye yet. I could see myself warming up to it later, though.
Other than that I think you've got the right idea man, Dixie + Chorus Kids are at the top of the list in my book, and after those 2 some veteran fanservice should be next in line. Snake is the one I want the most but I have no idea how likely that is and Ice Climbers are almost objectively the most deserving to return but unless they completely rework their gimmick or really decide to sit down and try to find a fix for the 3DS issues then it's literally not possible. Lucas and Wolf are the safest options and even though I prefer Snake and ICs I'd be thrilled to see either one, but the whole custom move thing is worrisome to me. I know that it's not a flat out deconfirmation, but... I dunno, it's just one of those things where I'd feel a lot better about their odds if those custom moves didn't exist.
Honestly I'd totally be down for Squirtle or Ivysaur too but that's obviously not very likely (I was thinking just the other day how much fun it would be playing Squirtle in For Glory...). It'd be funny if half the DLC we ended up getting was Pokemon characters, though.

I'd say Melee has gotten more than enough credit for its influence on fighting games, but I agree that Smash 64 and Brawl haven't gotten nearly enough. Wii U/3DS probably won't, either.
I'll confirm the first two tonight. Not sure I'm good enough with Bowser to confirm the last one definitively, but I'll try.

The third one is easier than it seems. Hop, air dodge asap, and then mash up B. The timing is not very strict.I'd say Melee has gotten more than enough credit for its influence on fighting games, but I agree that Smash 64 and Brawl haven't gotten nearly enough. Wii U/3DS probably won't, either.

I said wow
I would probably scream with joy if they had you time button inputs to the beat of the BGM. Actually, why don't they just make a Rhtyhm Heaven: Smash Edition?

Cool, I'll test it out in a bit then.
That would be amazing. I would main them (along with Mega Man and Kirby) instantly.

I just grabbed a copy of Famitsu from work, and thankfully Sakurai makes no mention of intentions to nerf Mac. He also says that "online rankings can't be used as the sole basis [for balance decisions]," and that "attempting to average out all fighters' abilities would be a detriment to both casual and competitive gameplay."
Two extra weeks for Japan.
As long as the game includes tons of GSC music, I would be totally down with this.

By any chance, can you mention the unlockable stages that the embargo allows you to talk about? I've become confused ever since Youtubers began posting videos of stages like Pac-Land and Duck Hunt without severe punishment.
I agree - not only is Splatoon not yet established enough for a character, but it wouldn't be worth adding an Inkling in now if their potential is limited by the hardware. Though it would be amusing if the Inklings were held back in the next version due to requiring roster parity between the UDS and Super U versions of the game.
Can you blame him for getting excited about Olimar's new alt costume?
yessssssssssssss

Is it okay to ask why you're required to have your review as soon as the embargo is gone? It would be great if you were able to test the online features. D:

My dream DLC would involve Sakurai breaking the roster parity rules just for Ice Climbers because why should one game not have a character just because a different game can't technically handle it.
1) Ice Climbers
2) Lucas
3) Wolf
4) Chorus Kids
5) Dixie

Most wanted DLC characters:
1. Mewtwo (thanks Sakurai!)
2. King K. Rool
3. Inkling
4. Kumatora
5. Dixie Kong
Most wanted DLC character costumes a la Koopalings
1. Lucas (Ness)
2. Medusa (Palutena)
3. Demise (Ganondorf)
4. The President (Olimar)
5. Wolf (Fox)
I would also want the DLC pack to add in custom moves to those characters to make them more fun (like adding Wolf moves from Brawl to Fox's custom moves)

bayonetta should be in smash
but they won't cause issues with the new 3ds, so obviously they'll be patched in but they'll only work on the new 3ds, then they'll be patched onto the wii u

Honestly I'm pretty happy with what we have now, especially with Mewtwo on the way.
For my DLC wishes, it's mostly going on what I think is the most reasonable while also making the most people happy:
Veterans:
-Wolf
-Lucas (though PK Freeze was taken by Ness so that lessens his chances)
Ice Climbers not returning because of the 3DS will always be a bummer, and Snake has a snowball's chance in hell at this point.
Newcomers:
-Dixie Kong
-Chorus Kids (more like Duck Hunt, one character disguised as three)
-Meta Ridley (I don't count the Other M abomination spontaneously glowing as Meta Ridley). In fact I might even prefer a cyborg/Meta version of Ridley that might come with technological weapons along with surprising speed and strength
-Sega willing, Eggman piloting an Adventure 2-esk mech
We need more villains, damnit. How can I have my epic showdown of 8 player Good vs Evil if there's pretty much only Ganondorf and Bowser? I gueeeess Mewtwo and Dedede count. Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu vs. Bowser, Ganondorf, Dedede, Mewtwo works...but I want more villainy.
Of all these characters, I'd definitely try Eggman, and might even main Meta Ridley. Tails would be a good alternative to Eggman.
So characters I WANT are Meta Ridley and Eggman. But I know they don't have much of a chance any of them for varying reasons. If we get any DLC newcomers I expect Dixie Kong, Chorus Kids, and not much else. Veteran DLC I don't expect much beyond Wolf and Lucas, and they are tough sells in the eyes of Nintendo, ESPECIALLY Lucas with their highly apparent Mother 3 purging in Smash 4 and Ness taking his PK Freeze. Actually, I don't think Lucas has any chance, sad to say.
Edit: Who am I kidding, Custom Robo will never be represented in Smash, not even by a frickin Assist this time god damnit! *cries*
