DO NOT expect a roster as big as SSB4. Expect around 12-15 fighters.

Are there 43? Because that's how many playable characters were in Tekken 6. Well, to be fair, Tekken's resources have been recycled for dozens of games. Old characters are brought back with maybe a few tweaks, but coming up with an entirely new roster with unique movesets, models, and animations takes a lot of time. I'm guessing this game will have 20-25 characters at the most with more added in updates, like with Super Street Fighter IV. |

Eh, fair enough. Still, that kinda makes my point a little stronger: The fact that we have seen non-iconic Pokémon in this game so early is a clear point that this is not going to just be the mascots taking up all the roster. By the way, official artwork. LucarioMachampPikachuSuicuneGardevoirGengarPikachu's looking downright puny, in honesty. |

Seeing that art of Gardevoir makes me wonder...is there blood flowing through its "dress"? Is that flesh...? Ew.

Where are you getting flesh and blood from that?

Because the detail makes it look so organic. It made me think of this. |

Well, while the idea of a flesh dress does not strike me as particularly gross, I still don't see it. It does look a little organic, but then, it could just be the material.

I don't think it could be anything but flesh. I mean... it does seem to come right outta the skin there. These designs are making me realise things I never wanted to. True, but it's a Pokemon fighting game. Pokemon's made a name for itself already without having to rely on people recognizing the most popular characters. I mean, I know they're going to throw in Greninja and Mewtwo. I just wish they didn't. Remember how excited we all were when Ivysaur was playable in Brawl? It was so unexpected. I love surprises like that. Yeah, totally. I'm hoping we just get a few of the popular ones and then the rest of the cast is filled out with weird and cool ones. I actually wish the early rumours that the game would only have fighting types was true. Beyond Lucario and Blaziken I can't think of many fighting types I'd consider overdone. That reminds me, didn't the first footage we saw of this game aaaaaages show Lucario fighting Blaziken? Where's that dude now? |

I wonder if Pikachu will be the only "tiny" Pokémon in the game. That tends to happen in games like this.

WHO'S THAT POKÉMON? New playable character, obviously. No official art yet, it seems, but... IT'S GENGAR! |

Man, look at that Gengar. Look at those shadow swirls. That's some mighty fine design right there. Looks like a golem made of liquid darkness.
