So many people are upset about the current roster on Smashboards. I never realized people were so devoted to certain characters >.<

I personally find it hilarious that people are complaining about getting ONLY 35 playable characters. Sounds like a lot to me =/

which characters are they angry about?

Well this has 35, melee had 25 (with 6 moveset clones). We don't know how many of the 35 in brawl will be clones, but we can assume that it will be similar to the same amount.
Here are the clones in melee:

Here are some likely candidates for clones in brawl



That said, I don't understand why people are angry with losing characters. They lost 4 in total, 3 of which are clones (one of those clones also being redone as toon link instead of young link). So really the only loss is mewtwo. While cool, he sucked pretty hard so w/e. Maybe he just hasn't been unlocked yet in the current leak. Graphic of lost characters:

Yeah, its really not a big loss, imo. Also, I'd like to point out that one of your "candidates for cloning" is assuredly not a clone, and that is DK and Diddy. Another point is that there is a general belief on Smashboards that Sakurai has stated there are *no* clones at all in brawl. Not sure if its true or not as I don't even remember reading the original source, but its worth throwing out there.

Yeah I didn't feel like looking on the website to see if some of the characters were confirmed not clones, was just going by how i thought it would play out.

Sakurai may have a different definition of "clone" than the general public. However, that would be underhanded and pretty deceitful. Even assuming all 6 remaining are clones, thats amazing to have 29 distinct movesets in the game. Imagine how great 35 will be!

I'm tempted to call the cartoon Link from Wind Waker just a new iteration of Young Link. I haven't seen his move set though. Also some of Lucario's (a new pokemon that I know nothing about) pictures remind me of Mewtwo, so who knows

As for the angry, there seem to be a lot of people who think that, since the game has been in production for so long, that there should be a "massive roster". I consider 35 pretty massive, but apparently some people were expecting 40+ (I've still seen some people act like 40 isn't enough).

I'm more interested in balancing a small roster and providing awesome online play. I feel like if these same people that are complaining about SSBB became interested in SC2 then they would be in our forums posting "WTF WHY DON'T WE GET 5 PLAYABLE RACES!!?"

Off-topic: Has anyone seen the music lists, or listened to the music? When finally checked it out all my fears of disappointment were gone. The amount of money and time they must have spent on all these classic songs/composers makes me pretty confident that this game will be fucking amazing

Fox and Falco are not clones. Fox is all about the dair/shine grab/dthrow/waveshine combos whereas Falco is more about pillars and shffling lazers.
