Unlocking characters was never hard, though. Levels were harder. And you'd have to dig your way into hell, fight your way across and come back up for a goddamn STICKER.

Why would they show a character that's been playable in the past and have him not be playable? They've always been careful about showing characters on screen.

I think most of the hate for him, as well as Lucina and Dr. Mario, comes from the mistaken assumption that these characters are taking up slots that would otherwise be occupied by other characters. As you said, these characters took very little time and effort to put in the game. The alternative to having these…

In on of Sakurai's POTD's, didn't he say unlocks are easier in the 3DS version compared to the Wii-U version?

Uh...Huh. Denying an official message from the game itself based on a bunch of nothing

It's real, I was on a live stream when all character were unlocked.

To recap/contextualize these reactions...the characters that people have found so far are Duck Hunt Dog, Dr. Mario, Wario, Falco, Ness, Bowser Jr., Mr. Game and Watch, Dark Pit, Ganondorf, and Rob and Jigglypuff. There might still be more hidden in the game. There might not, judging from some screenshots floating…

Back during SB64 and SBM the internet wasn't quite as robust and flowing with information like this and I'll admit it was a lot of fun unlocking new characters and being amazed. I remember first seeing characters like Marth, Roy, Ice Climbers, and Game & Watch. Characters I either knew nothing about or never…

Does this dog look unhappy to you? Look, he's even cross-eyed. He probably loves his owner more than anything for his willingness to look past his physical shortcomings. Plus, the dog has thumbs. He has fucking thumbs! The reason we make movies like King Kong and Planet of the Apes is because other animals with thumbs…

On a serious note, it's more likely due to the pay and reputation issues. Not many people want to be known as a porn actor, especially in the conservative Japan where they seldom show the face of the actors. It's like having your relatives and friends know that you have a low paying job, sells your body, and then not…

You are talking about a society that is sexually repressed, and makes sex seem like a crime. The men that do end up doing porn probably have no family, and are willing to accept that they will probably be shamed for the rest of their lives. In other words, you have to be very thick skinned. This is the essence of…

It's not easy finding men with pixellated dongs.

That's nice and all but I'll wait until the Mercedes Car is a Confirmed fighter!

Kept you waiting, huh?

No going back after MvC2

He's always the one to keep you wanting.

Do you remember when games like Mortal Kombat only had about 8 characters? I always feel like modern fighters spoil us when I remember that.

Just what is going on in that photo?

Nor is it Reagan meeting a young George W.

Or, kids are weird and do weird shit like flop around on a sofa while their parents are busy talking, and the parents don't see it before the photographer does because they're busy talking to the president.
