Let's get a little closer to the intended topic, and not post off-topic images. Thanks.

Still thinking on that empty space on my roster, though I've narrowed it down to six different choices that I think are the most likely.

Roy: What are the possibilities of Fire Emblem having four characters this time, with Roy returning and Chrom joining?
Isaac or Saki: I still think Little Mac is the only assist that will get upgraded, but I may be wrong, either of these guys could pop up.
Dixie Kong: There's also still the possibility of two new DK characters, so we could see Dixie and K. Rool.
Krystal: Though I took her off, she's still possible, though I'm not going to hold my breath.
Zelda Newcomer: Impa, Tingle, Toon Zelda, Vaati, Ghirahim, etc. Far too many to chose from, but I could always leave a spot open.
There's also the "non of the above" option, there could still be another out-there character like Chibi Robo or Sable.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Roy, Isaac, and Zelda Newcomer will be the popular choices out of these.

I like Waluigi.
But he was deconfirmed.
I don't know who to root for now.

These I like comments are leading us to nowhere. :p
As are comments commenting on comments without attempting to lead us elsewhere. :p

I hope it is King Hippo.
He's probably the best choice but I'd like a Glass Joe AT who exists mostly to get beat on and throws a weak punch that's easily avoidable every once in a while. :awesome:
Though not if he speaks French and brings shame upon me.

This is a Smash speculation thread.

There is no destination.
Getting to release is the Final Destination. ;)

I'm thinking of designing a new moveset for a possible newcomer, but I'm torn on who to choose...Palutena or Takamaru, what I believe to be our most likely newcomers this time around. Which do you think deserves the redesigned moveset more? A range-control user or a speedy combo character?

(Speaking of which, don't mind me, currently ordering a copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising on Amazon. :p)

But is it really?
Wouldn't we just end up walking in circles again?
What if we get DLC? Then we'd go back to old habits.

Final Destination is only that. A destination.
There is no Final Destination. We just end up going back to the start.

Bald Bull assist trophy. He charges up, then starts rushing around the stage, delivering OHKO punches to everybody. After KOing someone, he charges up again.

I want to see a new Takamaru moveset, honestly.

I can't decide.
Control the battlefield or Swiftly Swipe Away?

No responses so far, guess I'll just leave a blank spot on my roster for now. Might even get someone I never expected for the direct...

Well here's a better question...do you want a character that plays like this:





Or like this:



I dunno, they're both showing off the same amount of skin, so it seems pretty equal. :troll:

I'd like to see range-control idea more. That sounds like something that seems more tactical and therefore more interesting.

(Also you will have so much fun I guarantee it! <3 Let me know how much you love Viridi the game.)

I'd take a Takamaru move-set any day of the week.
The potential for his move-set is amazing.

Well, after watching ChuggaaConroy's lets play, Viridi's far from my favorite character. Gee...I wonder who my favorite character is. :p

I find it almost impossible to not love Hades, he's just too awesome. Favorite character by far...


Anyways, on topic, We have one per side, so I'll wait before doing anything.

Edit: Dammit NonSpecificGuy, you Greninja'd me! :c Anyways, that's two for Takamaru.

Still thinking on that empty space on my roster, though I've narrowed it down to six different choices that I think are the most likely.

Roy: What are the possibilities of Fire Emblem having four characters this time, with Roy returning and Chrom joining?
Isaac or Saki: I still think Little Mac is the only assist that will get upgraded, but I may be wrong, either of these guys could pop up.
Dixie Kong: There's also still the possibility of two new DK characters, so we could see Dixie and K. Rool.
Krystal: Though I took her off, she's still possible, though I'm not going to hold my breath.
Zelda Newcomer: Impa, Tingle, Toon Zelda, Vaati, Ghirahim, etc. Far too many to chose from, but I could always leave a spot open.
There's also the "non of the above" option, there could still be another out-there character like Chibi Robo or Sable.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Roy, Isaac, and Zelda Newcomer will be the popular choices out of these.
Those are all pretty preference based. Ill give you my 2 cents on it though.

Roy is highly requested to return, at least in Japan he is on the same level as Mewtwo. He was intended for Brawl so he is certainly a good choice. However, it may be the opportunity in this game to add a more recent lord, as that seems to be a trend going on in FE. Also, FE is not that big of a series, so if there's 3 characters in your roster already, Roy should be skipped.

I consider Isaac to be higher chance than Saki. That series seemed to be larger and have greater impact overall.

Dixie Kong is pretty much down to whether or not we see K Rool. If you have K Rool in your roster, Dixie may not be necessary (although very possible.)

Starfox is good where it is so I doubt we will see another character, unless there is another game in the works.

Zelda newcomers could be anything from Tingle to Ghirahim. I dont see a one off character being included (see Midna) as much as everyome thinks or wants them to be. I myself would even enjoy a one off villain. Not sure what you could put here, anyone will cause a debate. Could most likely see no zelda newcomer, but I would be happily surprised.

So depending on what you have in your roster so far, consider adding one of these.

No Krystal
If 3 FE characters, no Roy.
If K Rool, no Dixie.

So if this pattern is followed I would say Isaac or a Zelda newcomer is best. At least, that is my opinion.

I hindsight if you wanted to create the obligatory evil clone of Takamaru, a name like Karasumaru would work if you're playing with the bird references.

Taka = Hawk
Karasu = Crow
Like Dark Pit and Dark Link, we all know that the Internet would have a field day with him. Oh the irony.

Really? You're honestly the last person I expected to pick someone over Palutena. :p
Well there's a lot of Palutena talk going on lately.
Everyone expects Palutena but I think Takamaru's chances at being shown off are very high as well.
He's the underdog of the Direct and I want to see him showcased more.
That being said if you do Palutena I'll be happy too. :)

The only character I have any real preference to is Krystal, who I already took off the roster in the first place.
...so are you asking for input on which one to go with? Honestly I'd say Isaac or Roy.
Yeah, looking for input on who to shove in the empty space on my roster.
I'd say either Saki or Isaac.
The more franchises represented the better.
Isaac: 3
Roy: 1
Zelda: 1
Saki: 1

Still on that money. :troll:
