Is time now, finally arrives this new dawn.
Micaiah:
My arguments will be basically an updated version of my older commentary in this thread:
What exactly do I think about the odds that Micaiah is a playable character? Well, they are not exactly the best. But I think she has some advantages on her side.
First, let's talk about the obvious: It's a female character (and a female that isn't a custome), I do not really stretch out with this as anyone will have their arguments and counterarguments for this, but if I'm not mistaken, this Smash had as one of its purposes to add more female characters to the game ... which is obviously a small, but still a plus point. And of course, another point just short leave but will mention it anyway: She is a character in Fire Emblem; we don't know exactly Sakurai's opinion about her, but the she belong to a franchise with which the Creator is familiar (and doesn't have problem to get the rights) obviously help.
Okay, now you starting with what really matters... What could she have to help when considered among other characters? Especially we compared her with other Fire Emblem Characters.
I can almost assure that she is the Fire Emblem protagonist (not already in Smash, because Marth and Ike are the franchise spotlight, Roy's Our Boy, Lyn also because she is the first lord to arrive in a actual Fire Emblem Game to the West, and the three Awakening MC: Robin, Chrom and Lucina are the most known characters in the past three years)... most knowly... most popular... most talked? ... is somewhat difficult to describe her situation, she is loved by many, and others less so. Whatever the case, she has remained as an occasional topic of discussion in some places... Also, I don't know if this counts, but Micaiah has more content drawn on Japanese sites that other protagonists in the series (except some knowly special cases like Lucina); and also, yes I'm sure that the new Main Characters (Azura/Aqua and Kamui) will have a popularity similar to Robin's and Lucina's, but I believe that is to soon to they, and the ballot must focus in older characters.
Now, her support in the Fighter Ballot... I don't know really, the Fire Emblem support is a little bit... small in general, mainly by the issue of "over-representation"... But I believe Micaiah is one of those characters who have had more support between all the options (but still relatively small specially against the frontrunners) because of her fame in the pre-Brawl speculation (like Lyn) and also be wanted in japan for some people in the Pre and Post Smash 4, be a female and a one of the main characters that actually has a great potential to be original (between the Main Characters Micaiah, Lyn, and Ephraim/Azura are the ones than can avoid be semi-cloned, also you could count Anna and Tiki between non-Main characters but that are really popular).
And finally, we come to the part I think is the most important...
What did she has to make her inclusion a great option and a interesting character?
She is a user of magic, which are obviously not exactly common in Smash, and compared to there, it could be more dynamic, considering her physique would be a faster character than their... She is fragile, but with several options to punish their opponents, either short or long range with her magic and possibles combos. She probably don't has to much power in her physical attacks, but with a little bit powerful magic-based attacks, specialy with some ones particulary dangerous... but something left, she has a very special tool: the Staffs, this things in the games have special properties depending on the chosen, usually for treatment status changes, but also it serves to affect the enemy (provoke status changes), to affect the map, or to move units.
She could be a glass cannon with interesting strategical tools to gain advantange against her opponents.
I did some moves with a friend
Moveset basic idea:
Neutral B: Light/Shine/Purge: Micaiah shot a light magic's attack, is not particulary fast and has a short range, it can be charged and the explosion will be bigger.
Side B: Torch/Berseker/Sleep Staff: Micaiah attacks with one of these three Staves, the move have low hitbox, but it has a special effect, Berserk inverses controls, Torch sets oponents on fire and sleep puts them to sleep.
Up B: Rewarp: It's simple: Micaiah use a Staff to warps herself in any direction.
Down B: Thani: Summons a light pillar from above that explodes infront of her, distance can be changed depending on how long B is pressed.
Final Smash: Rexaura: Micaiah summons a big light magic sphere from the Sky in a diagonal trayectory, if oponents are hit by the sphere they will be pulled inside and when the sphere hits the floor exploding they will be sent flying away.
Chance: 25%
Want: 100%
I love magicians, I love Fire Emblem, and of course... I love Micaiah... I really love her. I considered that King K. Rool is the only character that I feel "deserved" to be in Smash, but Micaiah is the one of the fews that could actually make me over hyped and excited to see (the others could be Bandana Dee and Adeleine... in a minor extent). Oh goddess... She make me feel incredible things... Is really weird, but she actually help me in some way in my life... Really, is weird; but I have a special connection with her that make she my favorite Smash Bros Newcomer Choice, my favorite Fire Emblem and probably my favorite character ever.
Note: Bonus Agahari Art
Samurai Goroh:
Chance: 1%
Oh well... he has a very important problem... he already is a Assist Trophy (from a Franchise with a oscure future).
Want: 50%
He looks really cool, but I don't have any special reason to want him... It's okay in my eyes.
Predictions:
Tetris Stage: 10%
