So you think they remove her as an assist and add her to the roster? Nah, I don't think this, because Nintendo does not like to change things in the game. But I would love it, she is so cute.
Best-case scenario? In my subjective opinion, that is the worst-case scenario.
No Wario, are you certain? I understand that it is odd that he has not yet been revealed, but I certainly expect a WarioWare character in this installment, I doubt they would omit him from the roster.
I agree with this sentiment, it is utterly arbitrary to assert that DLC of already revealed characters will not happen... because they are already in the game. It was a logical presumption... six years ago, but given the notion that this game will have patches (I believe it will, anyways... gods help us if it does not) they could always patch out the assist trophy for the character to satisfy those who proclaim that it would be odd seeing a character in two different roles in an all-star party game where you can already do that by default and more. Regardless, I digress. Sakurai is not limiting the potential DLC pool by representing characters in different ways. Even Chrom still has a chance; albeit, I doubt his chances. But he is most certainly not de-confirmed for a DLC role.
Why?
Rather opinionated response... Keep in mind this is speculation, though, I see the Doc as likely, even though many don't like clone characters, especially when the character in mind isn't a necessity to the series like Falco or Luigi.
Nope, it's actually a hat that the Miis can acquire in Streetpass Plaza.Could Slippy come to the Roster? Here a photo from a japanese magazine
He is mario in a costume that doesnt affect hitbox's from a series that is kinda mediocre and overall not that big. Might as well add dr. luigi as a clone while we are at it. Or we make them alts and everyone is satisfied.
I was indifferent to this entirely opinionated post until you dissed Lucina.
Falco and Luigi are actually important and are well designed characters who honestly dont play at all like fox and mario at this point.
Im sorry but Lucina is such a flavor of the month character who is brand new and literally only got in because she is female and an easy clone with a brand new fan base based off of FE awakening alone (ignoring old FE games
I see why no one took it that seriously.
The greatness of Pokemon in SSB, is their growing playable count for each game, they're 2nd Party & usually get huge amount of promotion, that said 10 is a number I'll believe in SSB5 or 6 when that comes around. But I agree on returning veterans as DLC, not through the final roster. 2 / 4 / 6 or 7, that's the order of the playable number of Pkmn we got through each Smash Bros. installment, 7 if you wanna count Mewtwo for being in the game but cut due to time restraints.
It's like wise fans say,
I like Sceptile, but I don't want another Marth clone. A Falcon clone you say? Better than Ganon-clone
Thank you said users from Sceptile thread.
I wasm't using them as an argument I was just stating that Falco and Luigi are a exception to the clone rule, that people hate, no need to be needlessly defensive. Just because you don't want Doc doesn't mean his chances are disproved...
Well isn't it a good thing she is just a clone?
Falco and Luigi are necessities to their series's. Luigi especially is the second most important character in Mario, and Falco is Fox's second in command.
I dont hate lucina, I hate the fact she was allowed to be a character slot. But hey if pichu can get in almost anyone can...
Also I dont deny dr. mario's chances are high (I mean sakurai did actually make him a character in the first place) im say i dont want him due to his blandness and waste of time to being developed into a character.
I worded it weirdly sorry, I was saying how most people (but not me) hate most of the clones, with the only exceptions being Falco and Luigi because of their importance to their series.
Oh, I see. I don't hate clones either so I agree with you.
lucas is a clone in specials only so i dont really consider the case similar to lucina (although I would be grateful if sakurai declones lucas further)
Any merit that a character has is entirely subjective to begin. Everyone has their own views and believes on that and I don't think the big three as you talk about is any different in that regards.

I'm pretty sure that this has been pointed out enough times. Given on how the whole thing played out, Lucina for all intends and purposes was intended to be a Marth costume and nothing else originally and those plans changed later. That's a very different situation then what you are describing.
That wasn't his intention, though.
Which fails in comparison because it wasn't Chrom vs. Lucina, it was Chrom vs. Robin. Lucina was an alt, then he later decided (LONG AFTER Chrom's role) to add Lucina as a separate character. Sorry, the argument doesn't work, as has been stated MANY times.
Morbi
aka MorbiddenAllTrueism, get in here & discuss clones *hintx2* *winkx2*.True, but when you have Marth & Ike being speed - power with a sword, would evening it out in the middle of both speed & power make him unique? Probably.
I base my merit on Importance, Popularity, Uniqueness and Relevance.
It's not a waste of anyone's time because he's a clone. That's why adding him is a good idea in the first place; it's easy, effortless fanservice.
I highly doubt Sakurai was really even thinking about Smash 4 at the time.
I guess being the main character of the best reviewed and best selling Fire Emblem game means nothing to you?
Not when they are brand new and FE is really a niche franchise. Maybe after Lucina has been in a game or two and her popularity grows and actually maintains itself instead of being SHINY NEW CHARACTER OMG. And everybody doesnt forget about her like the last FE protagonist then she could be important enough for sakurai to think about adding if he can differentiate her enough which by then she would have enough material in games that he obviously could. Also Im not pinpointing this argument to just lucina but to ALL new "fresh out of the oven marketing" characters.
If it meant a lot to Sakurai we wouldn't have gotten Ike last time.
That's a false equivalency. Character development general isn't an insert time here get result, insert double time and get double result. There is not really any evidence to support the notion that Lucina set back the development team back or that they would have given more attention to other characters if they would of left her out.
Aether!
I think it will be very sad if important huge fanbases are ignored for the newbies this time, it would be very unfortunate.
