Yeah, I was kinda skeptical about it at first, but my brother is like a huge Super Smash Bros fan, so he checks like every interview about SSB4, and he saw an interview that had Masahiro Sakurai explaining that SSB4 for the Wii U and 3DS would actually be considered as the fourth and fifth installment in the series. I actually saw and read it too. It's because of him that I know so many facts about the series now, especially about Super Smash Bros 4.

"It's the same game over and OVER again, it's even the same roster"

I know almost everything about the whole Super Smash Bros. series, from its glitches to its easter eggs.
I knew all these facts before Did You Know Gaming had videos about Super Smash Bros.

I am seriously wondering what's up with that. Anybody remember when we got the screenshot with the Wii Fit Trainer and the Villager being on the 3DS version? I was like "What on Earth is going on?!!" I really thought that they would both be exclusive to the Wii U version.

@BluePikmin11R: I know, right? Same with my brother! He's practically the same way! I feel like he knows everything about the series! It's almost like he's worked on the games!

Yeah Sakurai never gave a clear statement about exclusive characters, I thought his wording was a little off.

It's almost as if Super Smash Bros. has become a new school subject.

Edit: 1000th post! It's weird that I don't post alot, now I finally reached 1000.

I wish there was a school class completely revolving around Masahiro Sakurai and the Super Smash Bros series. Oh, and congratulations on your um.....success?

I hope we get a character that actually suprises us, because at this point we can predict who is coming. The only one I think suprised me was WFT.

I'm pretty sure she surprised us all. At first, I didn't execpt her at all, but I eased into her after a while, so she's cool with me now. Any ideas for who's going to be our next completely random character?

when 33% of the new characters have been completely unexpected that's far from a "predictable" roster

He kinda did give a clear statement about exclusive characters. They said that both versions would have the same characters.

Wait, I'm pretty sure he said that a few characters would be exclusive to both versions. He also stated that not all characters from the last game would come back to this game, and that the 3DS would probably have less characters than the Wii U version, because of the 3DS's limitations.

he didn't say any of that except for there being possible limitations because of the 3ds

But didn't he talk about all of this stuff on the Gameplay interview? (Video on YouTube. Wait, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT4xjd9bGI0)

On text interviews he said there will not be exclusive interviews

Oh, okay. Sorry for asking, but what do you (or they) mean by exclusive interviews?
