I believe the mentality is, "Oh rats, we filled up the character roster screen! Now there's no more space to put any more character icons. Oh well!" But they could make a "page 2" to the character select screen at the touch of a button, one that could easily replace one of the character icons (in turn placing that character on the 2nd screen.) Or else put all the guest characters into a single icon, in much the same style as the Mii Fighter icon (which I admit would be a bit cumbersome, but it would open up a handful of slots.)

Well it's been a little while since Bayonetta and Corrin been downloadable. Has anyone played as them yet? What do you think of them? For me with Bayonetta she has some serious combo potential. Witch Time is a killer if you can play it right on opponents and her air game isn't that bad. She not sluggish in control either, which is a plus for me since I like characters with a bit of speed to them.

Counter characters are the best though. I mean, look at Corrin's counter! Best one in-game overall, and this is coming from a Ryu main.

And about the DLC characters, I read an article on EventHubs and it makes sense the DLC development is ceasing. If they kept adding more IPs to Smash, the next iterations wuldn't have the same WOW factor that Smash for Wii U/3DS had, especially with Cloud, Ryu, Bayonetta and some Melee veterans. So I'm sad that the DLC is over, yes, but at the same time, I'm happy. :D

After how stacked this roster came out to be, they're gonna really need to bring the punches with next Smash roster.

Mario, Sonic, Pikachu, Pac Man, Mega Man, Bayonetta, Cloud, Ryu, Mewtwo, Dr Mario, Roy...there are still some good selection of characters that still didn't make the cut but still.
