...Besides the fact that both Marth and Ike's character pages link you to Awakening's page? I dunno. Chrom is also one of my most wanted newcomers. The rest of the other Chrom supporters will most likely do a better job than I do.
Even under that scenario, they could have added Chrom as a "last hoo-rah."
Don't worry, Sakurai said that he chose Greninja before Pokemon X/Y released and that his popularity had nothing to do with his choice. And then there's Roy that was released in Melee before his own game came out.
Yes, they will be. After all, the Sneaking Spirit was shown in Smash Run. Why would Rhythm Heaven of all series get an enemy without a playable character, when all enemies in Smash Run come from series with playable characters?
I believe it was someone at the Treehouse who said it, but I could be wrong.
Actually, you made me feel better as well. I like your avatar, btw. Makes me want to give that pooy guy a hug. Uh...no homo, though. *coughs*@ D Deviddo First off, welcome to the Smash Boards!
On the sales thing: Awakening hit Japan in April 2012, with really impressive sales (first week passed Radiant Dawn's lifetime sales in Japan). SSB4 development began months later in June 2012. So I don't think the sales thing would stop anyone; In fact, that's probably the best thing Chrom has going for him besides a leak.
Adding on to that, I'm pretty sure Brawl's roster (save Sonic) was finalized in 2006 (I've heard in June, though I can't find a real source on that part). That wasn't the same year Brawl development began. So when it comes to finalizing SSB4's roster in 2012, Sakurai could have been lying and added more in 2013
Honestly, I'm completely set on the idea Chrom is in (I'd give him 100% chances). The mentioned sales thing, getting Greninja in with popularity not yet playing a factor, and Sakurai definitely getting recommendations from IS give him a decent chance at being picked at the start of development.Being a Gematsu believer also might help.
However, despite me being completely convinced he's in, after Ike was revealed, I tend to pretend he's not joining (look at the avy) because of the golden "2 FE Reps max" rule. I do this so that I can still get a burst of excitement for the day he gets revealed.
And when he gets revealed, I hope Sakurai will redeem himself and get our Lord in the pic that he should have been in:

Thanks for the advertising Opo.
The problem is, with custom move for each character, most of the things Chrom would do, would be covered by Marth and Ike's custom specials for the most part.Thanks for the advertising Opo.
With the Sal Leak around speculation has becoming boring and repetitive, and I'm honestly not expecting any newcomers outside of Gematsu (Mewtwo doesn't count). That being said I find it more fun and exciting to discuss how characters will play, rather than who will be in the game.
I've always thought that Chrom would act as a sort of middleman to Marth and Ike. Medium weight, medium strength, high speed, decent recovery. This is probably the most boring direction that Chrom can take and I know Sakurai will do something cool with him.
I had a moveset in mind that I'll try to post soon. Of course I don't know what Chrom's gimmick will be, so I don't know what his moveset will be either.
Oh well, I guess we have to cut Falco.
IF the leak is true. For me it just has to many holes in it to be fully believable.
- No Rosalina
Too bad Chrom is not GAR/10 like Sol, because that would work in that case.
-Greninja decided from the start of development, so "X/Y pokemon" is stupid.
Just like how the December one did right?
Middle man may not work. Many Marth users are saying that he feels slow compared to his previous incarnation, so that niche seems gone.
I'm sorry, but this reeks of denial. We don't know when the list was made, so that covers Greninja. "Guy" generally refers to a male human. Resetti and Nook aren't human. The leaker obviously didn't know all the info at once. The proximity thing makes no sense as a detractor, and the last bit is inconclusive, as other series are also missing enemies (like Fire Emblem, Wii Fit, Animal Crossing, and I think StarFox). And obviously the staff wouldn't address the leak. Look, I get it, you dislike Chrom. But at this point you're just filled with too much denial to ignore the solid evidence because of a few minor "inconsistencies," if you can even call them that.

We're adults here, or at least I am, so disappointment happens. You get over it. Bashing people's expectations when it gets them excited for something is terrible, and you ought to know that.
IronFish
, I'm really sorry things aren't looking up for Robin, because I support both characters, but when I can expect the same "You Chrom supporters are going to be disappointed too!" vibe from every single one of your posts in this thread, it just becomes a problem.
If you want me to lie and say that Robin is a guarantee to show up and Chrom is not going to be seen at all so people can get all hyped up despite the unavoidable fate, then no.And @
That post reeks of more denial, most of those are valid points, you just worship the leak like a religion, because Chrom's chances are going down if you disregard the leak. Did you see how much Robin's support went up after after Ike's conformation? Can we just forget about the leak? It makes speculation boring.I'm sorry, but this reeks of denial.

Anyway, I had a horrible dream that Frederick was shown instead, and was given a...different name. I think it was Jacques. Why did I have two Chrom dreams in a row?
You know I'm talking about the people who want to see Chrom. Don't even!
IronFish
Just stop. No one's "worshiping" the leak. I'm getting a bit tired of all the strawmen.
...We're speaking the same language here, right?
You say that yet don't realize most likely that the leak is just a guy "predicting what's likely to happen", either that or a guy who knows a little bit about the game.
Someone else who ignores non-constructive discussions! (Most of them...) *High-five*!
IronFish
I suppose exactly predicting "Mii Fighters" was just another accident. Do people who dispute the leak actually understand anything about probability?
Yeah, to be honest that's part of the reason why I was going through the 5 stages of grief with the Gematsu leak. It really killed speculation, cause then people could just go "NO NOT HAPPENING CAUSE IT'S NOT GEMATSU" but I've just kind of been accepting it because I supported Shulk anyway, if Chrom gets in Awakening gets some representation at all (plus I'm sure Sakurai can do something unique with him, "lil mac only punches") and Chrous Men could be pretty cool, especially in the event that they have a rhythm-based moveset.Someone else who ignores non-constructive discussions! (Most of them...) *High-five*!
Honestly I just wish all the newcomers had been announced already, because it's just going to be the same back and forth "That's not confirmed and is probably bull**** because *insert one specific reason that's easily dismissable given the nature of leaks.*" and a rebuttal of "Sigh. I guess we'll wait and see." And when Party #2 is right in the end, it's just going to be unfortunate for Party #1.
@
I see now. How...unexpected of you. I certainly agree, because I was already fed up enough with Lucario and Greninja being scapegoats for Mewtwo. Chrom's situation is worse yet. I'm glad we can agree on that, at least!
I honestly think the leaker only has half of the information, but seriously how did he(or she) get Wii Fit Trainer and get Mii Fighters, but have to be so vague with "Animal Crossing Guy" and "X/Y Pokemon", or not get Rosalina?Someone else who ignores non-constructive discussions!

I'm tired of answering the same question, it's likely impossible to know how the information was gained, as pretty much every single leak is. Sometimes, they miss small details, despite being accurate. All of this will surely fall on deaf ears, but objectively there's more going for the leak than against it.
Because nobody knows about boxing. At all.
