Okay yeah they HAVE to have DLC because the unlocks are dry as fuck, only 12? One being Lucina who we already knew about. Only Duck Hunt, Lucina (Marth Clone/Semi-Clone so that barely counts), Dark Pit (this barely counts too), and Bowser Jr are new out of the unlocks. So yeah the overall roster is really good, I just wish they had a lot of unlocks like Brawl. This is good though at the same time, because it just HAS to confirm DLC. No waaay they're going to bone us like that.
EDIT: Its literally the same formula as Brawl actually, a bunch of obvious vet picks, than they had 4 new characters (Lucario, TLink, Wolf, ROB) making it 4 unlocks. I guess matching the previous title is okay? I just wish they had more :(
