1 day, and we are already back to Fire Emblem discussions.

Well I'm baked bread and ready to discuss me some FE.

In all seriousness, Chrom is going to be the Fire Emblem newcomer, whether he be on a team with Lucina or Robin, or if he is by himself.
We all know it deep down inside, he is getting in Smash 4.
The difference is that instead of the traditional flame wars that plagued the RPDT, we're being far more formal about it.

My Two Cents:
Taking a note from @Johnknight1 and literally saying that as long as they don't make it a clone or a lazy cop out character, I'm fine with anything.

In regards to Anna, I like her, but honestly it would be really entertaining and perfect to have her as an Assist Trophy.

You get the AT. She suddenly appears. Releases a flurry of sword combos on the opponent, finishing them with a Critical Hit.
Then when she's finished, she says "Another happy customer!" and disappears.

I'd rather have Robin over Chrom. Robin can always have the benefit of being a guy or a girl, though that may confuse a lot of people unfamiliar with Awakening. In terms of uniqueness, Robin seems to be above Chrom at least in my opinion. I feel like Chrom will probably be the one to get in based on the supposed smash trend

I feel like there's nothing that Robin can do that couldn't be done by Isaac.
At least, on a basic level.

His popularity is so big, people often overrate his chances for that very reason. :p
When in really he has around a 15% to 20% chance.
Better off than Saki or Robin.

I would rather the potential of a Sword/Magic user go to a character representing a new franchise rather than representing a blank, uninteresting character from series that's already repped sufficiently.

Second mega man character?

Bass, protoman, cut man or guts man?

Bass - Mega man's evil rival, built by Wily
Proto man - Mega man's older brother
Cut man - appears in the most media, "most popular" RM
Guts man - Inafune's fav. accounting to all his appearances. 2nd most popular RM
Roll.

Probably Zero. Capcom's not afraid of mixing up different Mega Man series in crossovers, with Zero and Tron Bonne in Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (but no Mega Man!!!) and Mega Man Volnutt and Zero in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

Inside joke, you wouldn't understand.
you're misremembering things btw. clearly the smiley chu died.


And here's a topic:
Which is more likely: the return of Snake or the addition of Pac-Man?

personally I think Snake's return is more likely

my want roster that has no chance:



ragna nearly made it but i had no spase for him , yellow ones are choces that could be switched out , the little box with dry bowser and wiifit trainer and all is alts.
Two things real quick. Why add Goku, he's technically not a video game character. Why would Vegeta be a costume for Goku? Could've gone with Gohan or Bardock instead. Though I wouldn't mind stabbing Sonic in the face as Crono. That should be fun.

Snake's return. I'd imagine that would be the case since they've worked out some agreements before. But Namco's already buddy-buddy with Nintendo since they are helping make this game. So who knows.

Pretty iconic. Not gonna lie. Might be as iconic as Toad and Bowser.

Should be on a team with Kellam and Carmen Sandiego.

I agree with Snake being more likely. He was a veteran and a friend request.

Return of Snake. Perhaps I'm bias, but I would kill someone if Pacman replaced Snake.

And I never played a game in either series.
You should watch some walkthroughs of the Metal Gear games and listen to the soundtracks. Pretty cool.

I know what it is, I just haven't played it.

Whereas I have played Pacman and I find him uninteresting.

Kirby actually does interesting stuff (note: I hate that character) though, while Pacman has the personality of a wet towel.

You're talking about Roy, right?
Because if that's the case I completely agree.
I would agree that some do overrate their chances. However I think it isn't as noticeable with Isaac. Some still have a good amount of doubt with his inclusion. I know I do too, even though I would like to see him in Smash. I do find Roy rather overrated, since so many seem to be against clones, yet they want him back. But I suppose those are two different crowds.

I've met some interesting wet towels before.

His personality may be bland, but that doesn't stop him from being the most iconic videogame characters out there.
And this is Sakurai, he could make Pac-Man a really interesting character.

(I got another question, does Bomberman have a personality?)

Pac-Man is one of those likely characters that everyone seems to pretend has a snowball's chance in hell.
But quite frankly he's up there in terms of likeliness.
Also try to name another 3rd party as iconic as Pac-Man. Not even Snake stands up to him, although Sonic and Mega Man stand a chance against the gaming giant that is none other than the Pac.

I saw one episode of the new Pacman cartoon and wanted to vomit. It is so boring, and Pacman sounds like Ash Ketchum with helium. I think. It was pretty bad.And since that is undoubtedly the design he would use in Smash Bros, I say nay.

Besides, if Namco Bandai gets a character...

Bomberman was kind of like Mario to me. Both tend to be really cheery and helpful to people. All that good junk. I guess Megaman is like that too. But he's more heroic about it. If that makes any sense.

Exactly. He's pretty damn iconic. I won't say he'd be boring until we see a moveset from him.

As awesome as Nightmare would be, it probably won't happen. It's a shame. I would like to hand Link another beating or two with him though.

I'm honestly not against Pac-Man as everyone else seems to be, and I'll even argue for his cause, but saying he has no moveset potential is a lie. I do hope that he doesn't get in though, and if he does, not ahead of any more deserving character.

What's iconic? The Pie with a missing slice oR the ball with the face most here talk about?




Awnser: the pie.

More like, it would never happen. I think Sakurai said something about not having fighting game characters.

No, but you know a Konami character who does have a personality? And is just as popular?

Pac-Man is both the pie missing a slice, and the ball with the face. Regardless, he is one of the most iconic 3rd party characters around. I cannot think of any other video-game character that is more iconic. I mean, Goku or Batman might be able to stand against our behemoth, but they didn't originate from a video-game.
