I actually agree with you about the retro characters, and that Excite Biker has potential and is deserving. He's just not my first pick for retro.
Needs more K. Rool.I've tried to make a roster based around heavy cuts and fewer newcomers.
It's not a roster I'm particularly fond of, but it is one I could see coming true.
44 characters.
I've cut Snake, Ivysaur, Squirtle, Lucas and Falco (interchangeable with Wolf).
I've only added newcomers that I think are most likely, and they're all fairly conservative.
(Mii, Pac-Man, Chrom, Palutena)
Obviously, this is pretty low compared to most people's expectations, so it would be difficult to thrilled with it.
It's not bad, though; I'd be content with a roster like this. How about you guys?
As a Black Shadow supporter, I predominately use him as an excuse to impute Falcondorf's move-set elsewhere. However; as a fan of his character, I wouldn't mind if he was his own individual fighter. I do like his character though (he is the only reason I watched the anime).

Agreed.
I'm thinking three newcomers and about six or seven veterans.
At the risk of being cyclical in terms of debate, I point toward the fact that E3's not far off, the game's release not long after that, and there will likely be no unlockable characters because Sakurai dislikes spoilers. Add to that the fact that Sakurai is stated as having to introduce too many characters may wind up diluting those he feels to be genuinely unique, and it's not hard to understand that he's taking less time to make more characters and is instead spending more time to make better characters.
Needs more Ridley.
That still doesn't explain the cut veterans. In fact, your logic supports them.
Still gonna be unlockables regardless what you want.
So basically baseless arbitrary assumptions? I mean, it is fine to have your opinion, but you didn't really cite a logical reason.
The game would suck if you couldn't unlock anyone... that's half the fun.
Sorry, but Robin isn't happening.
I agree with you sonny
I wanna say maybe 7 vets and 4 newcomers at least. Going by based on what we had from the Direct where we had four vets and one newcomer, so with double the time, more characters to be revealed
Give this man a cookie!
Ike isn't necessarily relevant to Lucas; that would probably be Toon Link (so: if we can get Toon Link back, then we can get Lucas). Ike pertains more to Wolf (unique play-style, sharing a D-Special with a franchise) along with arbitrary assertions of over-representation. The only difference being that Wolf doesn't have someone aesthetically identical that could potentially replace him.
I have to stop you here.
Sounds good to me.
Unlockable songs, stages, trophies, etc, yeah. But no characters. This is the same crew that made TTT2.
Another baseless arbitrary assertion. Seriously, I feel as though I use the words, "fallacious" and "arbitrary" FAR TOO MUCH on a speculation forum. Why can't we use feasible logic to support our arguments?
You really gotta go away with these hilarious, baseless ideas you've convinced yourself with.
...so are you agreeing with me, or...
Would you care to explain how you are so certain that Robin won't happen? Just saying s/he isn't going to happen doesn't make it fact.
Indeed.
I speculate that it is an inherent preconceived notion based on whatever Fire Emblem character he supports.
I think it's less because of a character he supports, and more due to the fact that he has very clearly established that he despises Robin.
Nope, there's no way Robin would even be playable. Just because Wii Fit Trainer and Villager were confirmed and have gender options doesn't mean Robin is. Robin isn't the face of Fire Emblem nor a Lord, so I don't see it happening. Best Robin can get is AT or trophy. Robin was basically thrown in my face so much that I dislike Robin due to that.
What? Please establish the correlation, I am not seeing it (I see the joke for Ridley, but I am not understanding the Snake portion).
Ah, I did not actually know that.
I'd agree with you.
Just because WFT and Villager has them doesn't mean Robin can't.
Again, that is a baseless assumption based on the arbitrary pattern that all Fire Emblem representatives in Smash Bros must be male Lords.
I don't see how not being the face of Fire Emblem or nor being a Lord makes him completely impossible. It was never stated that those were requirements to begin with.
I personally feel as though a rock is more unique than Chrom.
Because Chrom is inevitable, get with the program!
Agree with you completely. Of course, that may be because of my bias against him.
