Size of the roster slots have me scared...

[FULL_METAL_RYDER2]

There only seems to be 3 rows, and the size of the slots are so large... It only looks like each row could have about eight at the most, which=24 characters. Which would suck, sure there have been fighting game sequels with LESS characters then there predecessors, (Tekken 3 had less then 2)and turned out great.

That is a sick thought

But we already know of 22 slots that MUST exist... but Sakurai talks about unlockables as if he hasn't revealed any, besides Sonic and Snake.

I think here's only 3 rows TO START.

[Triforceman22]

you know, when you unlock more characters, the squares can get smaller... ::)

As you unlock characters, you get more rows.

Also, Sakurai wanted at least 40-45 characters.

Well, my theory is that we'll have about as many starters as Melee has characters. So, 24 is a perfect amount. Now then, the slots would get a little smaller so that more rows would fit in after characters are unlocked. That would likely be 3 more rows. So, 3 rows to start, 3 for unlockables, therefore 6 rows of 8=48 characters. I think that sounds good.

No he didn't, it's just a rumor.

I've read the Journal Translation MANY times, and he NEVER said that, EVER.

well, i'm stupid.. :-X

[Java]

I think that they just made the slots big on purpose for E-For-All.

After all, the screen would look really weird with small slots for only 10-12 characters.

[Apollo]

im sure they will grow smaller with more characters

[Shujinco2]

Dude, Meelee did the same thing, but you unlcok all the characters, and they get smaller.

ALSO, It added an ENTIRELY different row!
