Honestly, I wasn't this worked up when I came to the realization that Ness was being replaced by Lucas, or that the chances of Marth returning were practically 0

Just accept it, let it go, you're being delusional in hoping any more.

It's been a underlying theme of sorts in Brawl, that the old representatives of series' are being replaced by the new, and any new incarnations of a character are in some way reflected in Brawl

Ness is the old Mother character, now we have Lucas. Marth is the old Fire Emblem character, now we have Ike.

Sakurai is reflecting change in the character's series', either through move/ability changes, a character's Final Smash, sometimes aesthetic chaanges, or if a new star of a series has come to light: a character replacement.

We've got a Blue-Haired Sword-Wielding Fire Emblem Character who uses Counter, we don't need another Blue-Haired Sword-Wielding Fire Emblem Character who uses Counter

Ok, the fact that Ike and Marth are nothing alike has nothing to do with it then? Why drop the number of FE reps from 2 to 1? I mean, if you used Lyn as an argument, then maybe, but the GBA games didn't sell well.

Ness and Lucas are very similar to each other. Ike and Marth aren't.

Now either continue debating this over pm's or drop it. That seems like weak reasoning

How does having the same hair colour make people clones? Peach and Zelda were both blond princesses dressed in pink and they were completely different.

That doesn't mean we aren't getting one, considering all those are superficial reasons to exclude a character (Counter is only one move and Marth could also have counter removed if it's really an issue).

Your argument is weak reasoning

oooh, what now? See, I can use a condescending argument as well. Does it refute your point any? Nope

And when did I say the Fire Emblem's rep count was going down? Nowhere, I simply said that it's easy to accept at this point that Marth isn't one to be returning, we already have a Blue-Haired Fire Emblem Swordsman, if we get another FE rep it'll probably be another PoR or RD character

Why? Your whole argument is based upon the fact that both of them have blue hair and that they are both swordsman that have one similar move. I guess Luigi shouldn't be in either based on that reasoning.

Also, I can see putting in Micaiah or something, but why have all the FE reps from the same world? Why not represent the series as a whole with reps from each world? Everything doesn't have to be recent.

Ahh, but a common theme in Brawl is that they use material that is recent.

If I'm going to put in some Fire Emblem represenatives and here I have this super cool Ike with Blue Hair and he's a Swordsman and he's super cool and he can Counter and charge up a B move for a powerful strike....and I'm like "Hey, let's add another FE rep"...am I going to choose a super-cool Marth with Blue Hair and he's a Swordsman and he's super cool and he can Counter and charge up a B move for a powerful strike?

Sora is a much better third party rep than Crash, Bomberman, or Ryu.

Crash=Spin
Bomberman=Throws bombs
Ryu=Punch/ Kick
Sora= Fire/Blizzard/Thunder/Aero/Gravity/Sword Slash/Gliding

I don't want to get into an argument about it. They're all poor choices for one reason or another with the possible exception of Bomberman.

True, but they were both from different series, and absolutely essential additions from each one. Besides, they were obviously different to anyone that played any video games ever.

Marth and Ike are from the same series, and I know more than a few friends that had never played Fire Emblem who asked me why they changed Marth's name. When I explained to them that Ike was from a different game, they were like "Oh, well, I guess that means Marth isn't coming back". You guys have to understand that to the average Smasher, there won't be much difference.

And, to be honest, I would hate it if everybody from Fire Emblem was a sword user. Just for variety's sake. Fast sword user and slow sword user are kind of lame. I would prefer Magic user, fast lance user, and slow sword user, or something.

The average smasher in America. Got to think globally. Most lords are sword users though. Hector wasn't, I think Sigurd used a lance, and of course there's Micaiah, but Ike is the clear rep from the PoR-RD universe (not that that means much I suppose).

Who would you choose?
Umm, if I had to choose from those four characters. I guess I'd pick Bomberman. Crash is a sorry excuse and has nothing to do with Nintendo, Ryu would be wrecked and has almost nothing to do with Nintendo, and Sora has next to nothing to do with Nintendo.

Are you talking to me? I am in no way being delusional. I was the first person to point out the podcast and what it meant for Megaman. It would be cool to see Megaman in brawl, but i am the last person to be delusional about it. I was arguing the other side if you look earlier in the thread.

Everyone is quick to say "deconfirmed", but a character isn't deconfirmed until he is deconfirmed. This is the truth of the matter. Megaman wasn't deconfirmed. Neither was Ness or Marth.

Megaman is like an old war veteran; he's seen battle after battle with Nintendo's systems. And now they're leaving him out cold in a retirement home somewhere.

Shame on you Sakurai.

In all honesty....you all dont think that Ryu would totally f*** Megaman up?? come on! Megaman could never beat Ryu in a fight..

Lets say those two battled for the last character spot...who would really win?? A little boy in a kid-robot suit or a jacked up, angry mofo who practices Ansatsuken?.. get real, im sorry....

Megaman would win. He has guns and lazors.

Oh and if anyone would like to know a good reason on why Sora should take the last 3rd party slot, ask me and I'll PM you why.

Ryu isn't angry... Dark Ryu is though. Mega Man also doesn't wear a suit. He's a robot refitted for battle from his original blueprints.

Anyway, go put on watch mode in MvC or something.

I'm curious. I may or may not argue with you, but I'll see your reasoning.

Umm, Mega Man still has the Mega Buster. I'm not going to argue this because it's stupid, but Ryu can't fire Hadoukens nearly as fast as Mega Man can shoot his buster.

QFT. Anyone else sounds dumb now. Geno over Megaman also doesn't sound TOO likely, so I could be upset that my top choice for Brawl and 5th highest choices for Brawl are A LOT LESS LIKELY!

Really people, stop jumping to conclusions. Megaman was not deconfirmed
His chances went down. A LOT! Still...the interview could be like 6 months old for all we know. He said "months", so it is at least 2 or 3 months old. Capcom and Nintendo could make a moveset for Megaman along with model and power stealing in. If Melee had 26 characters in 2 1/2 years with like 1/3rd the Brawl staff, almost anything is possible! >_<

I guess the one this the futuristic BLASTER would win. duh.
Let's see...futurist Mega Buster. The slide. He's a ROBOT! He's got armor. He's got multiple powers. He's got Rush, Tango, etc. Megaman wins, all day long. Ryu is stil pretty AWSOME, though! :)

Megaman has advanced futurist robot combat gear and stuff, super armor, has swords, and whatnot. Any Megaman could be Ryu. Ryu can't block a mega buster shot, and in one shot, Ryu is dead. Megaman wins, period! :p

Let us pray Sakurai gets his act together soon. Obviously Sakurai is a bad judge (no Samurai Goroh, Ness replaced with Lucas, etc.).

Well, it's not Inafune's problem. Blame yourself or Sakurai. And I know incoherent posts with cursing is your thing, but do feel it's worth it when they get censored.

You forget that Ryu can parry, but seriously, this is what MvC is for.

Not to be a bitter betty but in the podcast he mentions Christmas so it is fairly recent.
