Her name is Veran. I guess she's pretty interesting.

 

[Rockaphin]

This would be a cool boss. Or a Peach alt.

Thinking Mario RPG's would get any love in Smash Bros.

That's cute.

 

[CalumG]

What difference would it make if Nana had more moves than the Luma anyway?

Assuming the developers aren't incompetent, both Popo and Nana's moves would/could be loaded from the same location in memory (since their moves are, for the most part, absolutely identical). Nana may have more moves than Luma but Popo/Nana would take up less memory at runtime due to their similarities, in comparison to Rosalina and Luma who are nothing alike.

 

[andimidna]

Wow! People actually remember Veran!!

Captain Syrup is my #11 most wanted character, and Medusa will be in my top 10 after Palutena is confirmed.
I don't think they'll get in but I love them.
Only other female villain(s) I like is Twinrova. But they're Stage Hazard(s).

So if he mentioned Homer Simpson is a funny TV character in his post and then said "Paper Mario is not deserving" in a completely separate and distant paragraph and then I said "Yes he is" in a reply referencing that quote alone, are you to assume I am referring to Homer Simpson? I'm betting that if you payed attention to the conversation your answer would be "No."

Umm.. what the hell?
I'm the irrelevant one?
Look. People have already said what I was trying to explain.
Such as:

This.
That's all this is about.
Don't make stuff up. This is all that happened. Now just drop it and calm down.

 

[False Sense]

With Robin, I go between wanting him and not wanting him a lot...
I'm just unsure what his playstyle would be like... who is he most comparable to?
Do you have a moveset? I think that's what would make me finally want him.

Oh, a move set is the easiest thing to make for Robin. There's plenty of stuff to work with, since he's/she's able to use swords, elemental magic, and pretty much every skill in the game. My personal favorite move set is a Stance Change set. It would work sort of like transformation characters, except instead of changing into an entirely different character, it just switches the method of attacking. In Robin's case, he/she could switch between using a sword for close-up fights and combos, or using magic to attack from a distance. This would make Robin a very unique character that introduces an entirely new play style to Smash, much like Rosalina did with her Luma. But that's just one possibility. You could check out the Robin support thread for a good number of interesting ideas.

 

[AEMehr]

I said "Less". "Less" does not mean "unoriginal" it means fewer in number. Just because they are both negative adjectives doesn't mean they mean the same thing.

Comparing the teams of characters: Rosalina & Luma and the Ice Climbers.
The team with the less amount of moves is still the Ice Climbers. As far as actual attacks go, they've got roughly the same amount .
You're making it sound like the Luma is completely inferior to Nana is when it comes to moveset. Nana is literally a clone of Popo, she's basically made the same way clones of Mario and Co. were made in 3D World with the Double Cherry. She only has a different model. The Luma is vastly different Rosalina and I'd imagine that it must have taken much longer to program Rosalina & Luma than it would have taken to program the Ice Climbers in previous games. It takes more time to create to unique movesets than it is to create one, double it, and add in a couple extra specials when the two are together.
Besides, even then there only is a 5 move difference (Pummel, FThrow, DThrow, UThrow, BThrow) between Luma and Nana. As if it matters that much in the first place.

For the third time, I'd like to request that people actually read my posts before responding to them. Thank you.

I read what you said, and you said that Rosaluma has less moves than the Ice Climbers. Which, developmentally, is not true.

 

[The Light Music Club]

No, not paired together. I meant as separate characters. Chrom's actually quite awesome, but I like Lucina more.

Separate? I guess that's ok. As long as there is a FE female.

Of course I never know if I'll end up using a character I don't like. I feel like with Little mac, I didn't like his inclusion, but he fits my play style of a light and fast fighter. It's like how I didn't like Mr. Game and Watch at all. But he's one of my mains in Brawl.

The thing that's odd is that with Ike, before I knew who he was, and back when my 10 year old (I think I was 10) mind thought he replaced my main Roy, I still thought he was a awesome character. I don't get that vibe at all with Chrom.

 

[Niala]

Okay
That's enough of that.

Do you have a moveset? I think that's what would make me finally want him.

I know a lot of people are against duos and gimmicks... but I love them. And I'll miss transformations.
But I'm going to hold on to the Chrom & Lucina concept. It's really the only way I'd want Chrom, who I consider almost inevitable.
If he was a semi-clone of Ike... why would I settle for him over a unique FE character? What would make me want to play as him and not Ike?
And if they completely replaced Ike with him, there would be even more complaining and rage here.
Marth, Ike, Chrom & Lucina, Robin OR Anna... this is what I want. I don't expect it.
RIP Tiki and Lyn

Robin could at least bring something to the table that the current Fire Emblem sword users don't-- namely, magic.

But Henry does it better

I've speculated a lot about Anna, though. I think she has the potential to be much more unique than Chrom or the unlikely Lucina. Although, I admit, Chrom and Robin are the forerunners simply because, like Roy, Marth, and Ike, they've all been the main characters of their respective games.

 

[Kenith]

If Chrom getsx in, I think his FS will be promoting to Great Lord and using the exalted Falchion, since that's a big part of FE that hasn't been used in Smash before.

I think anyone from Fire Emblem would be more unique then Chrom. Even Edward.

How about Elincia??

 

[Rockaphin]

I'm not too familiar with Fire Emblem, but personally I would like to see Lucina, Robin, The Black Knight(No not Batman ), or Lyn. I think Chrom is the most likely and I think he's okay too.

 

[Kenith]

Anyone?

That is debatable.

 

[The Light Music Club]

That is debatable.

She's female. So yes.

 

[Kenith]

She's female. So yes.

Lol.

Anyone has potential in some way. I doubt anyone would've thought to make Rosalina a tag team with Luma.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Lol.

Anyone has potential in some way. I doubt anyone would've thought to make Rosalina a tag team with Luma.

She could be unique, but I only see her as a last minute semi-clone, nothing you can really take from FE:A that could make her stand out other than normal attacks and grabs.

 

[kikaru]

I'm not understanding why having ovaries suddenly makes a character more deserving or unique, a character's fighting style is not strictly limited to their gender. Lucina's assets are similar to that of Chrom's and they both possess roughly the same potential to be unique characters.

As far as Chrom goes, I agree there are a lot of candidates that have more potential than him at face value, but my stance is that if Sakurai is able to create a moveset that is fun and interesting for a character that solely relies on fists, the same creativity can be applied to someone like Chrom, who has lesser assets than characters such as Robin and Tiki (The exact same logic goes for Lucina).

 

[Kenith]

She could be unique, but I only see her as a last minute semi-clone, nothing you can really take from FE:A that could make her stand out other than normal attacks and grabs.

...or all the Skills she could inherit from her father or potential mothers that could easily translate into moves, I.e. Galeforce, Luna, or maybe, even Lethality.

 

[Glyphoscythe]

Most of the FE characters that I like have a snowball's chance in hell of making it in. Gregor would be hilarious. Him taunting in his Russian accent would be amazing. "Heh heh, you fight poorly."

I'll be happy enough if Ike comes back all Radiant Dawned-up. That's it. That's all I really want. I mean, I'd be down for whoever as a newcomer, really. I'm not that passionate or picky. I could see some of the new skills from Awakening being translated into moves, though.

 

[Kenith]

Like I said, vote for Virion & Cherche tag team.

 

[Starcutter]

She's female. So yes.

In terms of gameplay? That has nothing to do with it.


ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.


WHY DO YOU THINK THAT? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!

Because having boobs makes a character unique, didn't you know that?

 

[Starcutter]

Because having boobs makes a character unique, didn't you know that?

I mean, yeah. technically she could use those as one of her moves but it would probably be ineffective to most of these hardened war smash veterans and newcomers.

 

[Louie G.]

My opinion on Fire Emblem?
Chrom is going to be the newcomer. Deal with it.
Good night.

Seriously though, I just want Chrom to be revealed already so we can all stop talking about Fire Emblem (unless a FOURTH character comes into the picture).

 

[Aguki90]

In my opinion by myself but...

All the character of super smash bros 4 are already made, finished or even planed a long ago since the E3!
Look at the E3 trailer, there is area that is actually is Smash Run himself, By that point I think Smash Run was invented Last Year, but not was ready to show yet.

I think Sakurai and his teams know all the characters their gonna appear or even cut. He made a deal with gamefreak a year ago, what Pokemon is gonna be in smash and they decide the most popular one, is going in. And the Boxer Ring in E3, point out that Little Mac is going in Smash Bros and he did.

I'm curios what more Characters are already made to smash bros. All we can hope is...the 3DS. 3DS Version is coming sooner than we though because every single character in the 3DS will be in the Wii U version and E3 is coming soon too, I think in E3 we gonna have a Real Release Date. like actual time or day will be.

My fight over a new character to myself, is over... I can only hope, for One of my top 10 character I want in Smash, pls be Takamaru, Isaac and Shulk.

Duh, Lucina.

inb4 we get a Greninja type reveal. But with a Fire Emblem character.

Anna confirmed......

 

[Louie G.]

Fourth newcomer?

Personally I think
gulp
Roy is the obvious choice.

Anna confirmed......

My body is ready. I'm all for it.

 

[CalumG]

I know this question has probably been dragged into the dirt so many times recently, but I haven't been here to see the answers so I guess I'll ask it myself...

Assuming we got 3 characters at E3, who would you think they'd be? 1 newcomer and 2 vets, all newcomers, 2 newcomers and 1 veteran - mix it up however you like, but what would be your predictions based on this scenario? Mine would have to be:

1. Ridley (assuming he's not an unlockable)
2. Pac-Man/Snake (or both!) because I can't see them keeping third-parties secret given how much of a huge selling point they are
3. Palutena/????? - I'm torn between the third one being either somebody really obvious like Palutena, or a complete curveball nobody could have possibly guessed

So yeah... what would you like to see, come E3 time?

 

[Louie G.]

Since we didn't get Palutena in the Direct, I feel like she'll be revealed at E3.
She may not be anyone really well known, but she's a likable character and Sakurai could definitely make it work.
I had a trailer idea where Palutena screws around with Pit until she reveals herself to be a fighter (making him fall flat on his face and the like), so that could appeal to a wide audience simply because it's funny. Not to mention she is a huge hype-builder for Smash Bros fans regardless.

Pac-Man seems like a lock for E3 since 3rd parties and all. Although Snake could double as this if Pac doesn't make it and Snake does.

King K. Rool, Shulk, Takamaru, and Mewtwo could also work.
Especially Mewtwo. Ohhhh a Mewtwo trailer would be such hype it isn't even funny.
In fact, who set a limit at 3 characters? Release is coming up pretty fast, so getting like 5 characters (like we did in the Direct) isn't so farfetch'd at all.

What is it that Chrom supporters say again? "Anything can change?"

I very much dislike the idea that Chrom is inevitable. He may be the most likely, but he's not some shoo-in.

-Ridley (crazy hype would happen there)
-Snake (if he isn't revealed before)
-Mewtwo (perfect way to end the E3 trailer)

 

[Louie G.]

@ False Sense
While I do think that Sakurai can surprise us with something else, sometimes the choice is too obvious for even Sakurai to turn down.
Lucina is pretty similar to Marth (sorry Kenith), Roy is irrelevant (sorry everyone), and Robin is an idea that I don't think Sakurai has really considered (sorry you).
Chrom just makes sense, plain and simple. Which is why I have my money on Chrom.

 

[CalumG]

I don't think anybody is saying that 3 is the actual number we'll get - I just set an artificial limit on my question, for discussions sake.
