That could applied to any newcomer really. I see it as pretty unlikely for them to be revealed post release, I don't think they are even close to R.O.B.'s reception at all.
Not everyone lays or knows what Rhythm Heaven is about. I think it's just as likely for them to be negatively perceived by the same people who originally negatively looked at Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., and the Wii Fit Trainers
In my case, it would be legitimate.
They took the place of a different RH character I wanted (Wrestler).

Hypothetically, which Namco Bandai character would be most likely to be in Smash: Lloyd, Nightmare, or a Gundam?
I'd hope for Nightmare out of those. But what about Heihachi? If I'm not mistaken, he's the "cross-over" character for Tekken.

Most likely, but I think once they are revealed, I'm sure they will be well received with the rhythm based moveset they will have.

I actually think Nightmare get in before any Tekken character, as I would imagine when Sakurai said he wasn't tempted to include fighting game characters, he was specifically referring to Street Fighter and Tekken.

Well shoot, I actually like Street Fighter. Oh well, never thought Ryu or any of the cast actually had a chance after Megaman. I think Sakurai said that he liked Street Fighter and even participated in some tournaments. I think I read that somewhere.

Does anyone else want to see the other characters with the Power Leaf? I think it would be funny to see Charizard with it.

I've been thinking about November and December, with the 3D World reveal and Smash reveal.

People being obnoxious and assuming Rosalina is a shoo-in, and then...it actually happens.
There's something about it all that makes me want to cry.

I guess it has to do with the flawed logic and arguments of people being justified.

As someone who guessed Rosalinda and little Mac being shown in the directs when they were, I was glad this last one put me in my place. Otherwise I'd think I was psychic.

Who's to say you aren't?
Even psychics have their faults.
Okay....


Hrrrrrnnnng


Ridley, K Rool, mewtwo and Ganondorf will be in a special trailer at E3, in a similar fashion to mega man.

The regular trailer will have Isaac, with the remaining 64 vets, Wario and Game and watch.

There you go, I guess.

And although it won't ever happen, I wish he used his more cartoony voice in games like Jungle Beat instead of Gorillia noises.
Or his voice from the cartoon, complete with "Banana Slamma!" during his Standard Special.
Realistically (or at least more than the above idea) I'd be fine with his Returns/TF voice.

What about Boxing Ring?
It was never shown with an icon prior to the Smash Direct, which is long after Little Mac's reveal.

Series only get icons when at least a stage is present. This is why Nintendogs had no icon in Brawl and has an icon now. The lack of an icon for S&P means it doesn't even have a stage, let alone a character.
And how are you so certain there wont be a S&P stage revealed in the future?
Because Punch Out didn't have one for obvious spoilery issues.

If Ridley really is a boss, then Sakurai's teases don't make any sense to me.
I think most people just don't really understand how Sakurai works. Has everybody forgotten about "Up until now" with Lucas/Ness? Or the R.O.B. shenanigans in Brawl, where there was obviously no possible way a common enemy could be playable? Between these, the Toon Link in Spirit Tracks scenario and of course, the trolling Sakurai did in the Direct itself (Zero Suit, Palutena, Greninja/Mewtwo etc.), there's a very convincing case that there's more to Ridley than meets the eye.

It's classic Sakurai misdirection. I'm not saying Ridley is a dead-cert, but there's certainly more to the situation.

Plus, think about it. Little Mac got in, and he's way popular in the West. For that matter, Sakurai clearly took some kind of inspiration from Project M and the Smash community when he made For Glory mode and separated the transformation characters. Mega Man got in on the basis of being the most popular third-party request for Smash, and Sakurai clearly knows about Mewtwo's enduring popularity. This guy pays way more attention to the Smash community than we think he does - he's more than aware of how popular Ridley must be, so for him to keep stringing the fans along if he has no intention of playable Ridley would be downright douchey. If Ridley really wasn't going to be playable, Sakurai knows how upset that'll make the fans - the only kind thing to do would be to put them out of their misery early rather than keeping him (literally) in the shadows.

R.O.B. was the scapegoat for whatever character didn't get in, because he apparently stole a character spot for something much more deserving and Sakurai is an idiot and Nintendo doesn't care about the fans and blah blah blah.

You can bet your sweet *** that Chorus Men will be the next R.O.B.
Actually, I'm not really sure there will necessarily be a R.O.B type situation. The thing is, none of the established newcomers have had an overall negative reception, even if they previously weren't the top of the polls in demand, as shown by Rosalina and Greninja. Heck, WFT, the true R.OB/Mr. G&W-style curveball of this game, managed to gather a surprising amount of popularity despite practically non-existant support. If she could get that level of praise and popularity, then surely it is unlikely that the Chorus Men won't.

In fact, the only character on Sal Romano's leak that has a decent chance of getting an overall negative reception would probably be Chrom really, if he ends up getting in over Ike and/or is barely different from the FE characters we already have had in the franchise.

As a drummer, it's gonna pain me to see DK's final smash change. I LOVED the interactive feature that made you keep the rhythm to get more power, although I didn't use DK that often.

Maybe they can upgrade DK to a full drumset. (oh, i'd rather have Kranky, but Funky's also cool.)

IMO I think it is going to be changed into an arcade final smash based on the original DK game. Seems likely if his Final Smash is going to be changed.

Final Smash: Dream Coconut Hut: King K. Rool and the Kremlings appear to build DK a new hut that explodes around the arena just like Villager's.
