SSBB Character Lineup Change?!

[Mario Famous]

I've found some shockimg news about The lineup on SSBB, take a look

Reportedly from Sakurai himself(game Directer) from a Japanese radio program. If LiveWii is to be believed, the Sakurai will be adding Ridley, Bowser Jr., and a Wind Waker era Link. Who are gonna get cut? Young Link, Game & Watch, and Ice Climbers.

Post the whole thing plus if they do, which i doubt, i will not get the game.

why not get the game? those characters were freaking useless imo

and yeah i already heard this... ridley im excited for, but not really for the other two

[jjgamepro17]

uh yeah...What happened to ShadowMarth?

[Mario Famous]

Yoshi, that is the whole thing man. It was a good Idea to get rid of Young Link since he's just a clone. Clones in general are worthless. You could just have another unique character instead of them.


Mormon, Bowser Jr is hawt. You already know he can Transform into Shadow Mario. He's 2 characters all in himself.

He has the same exact moves set aside from that he can wall jump and use flame arrows, of coarse he's faster too. Link and Young Link are clones just like Marth and Roy, Pichu and Pikachu, etc.Clones...there all worthless.

My guess is that WW link will just replace young link as link's clone, it makes sense.

And yeah, we knew that there would probably be other characters besides the one in the original preview, the game is still in early development
