Eh, I don't care if Chrom gets in or not, but he does seem to be the most likely candidate for a Fire Emblem newcomer.

Who's going to bet that we're going to see a newcomer that wasn't leaked by Sal Romano?

Seriously though, I have no idea why anyone says that Chrom can't be in because he's boring or not a good character. Most of Smash Bros.' cast aren't exactly the pinnacle of personality.
Well, Xenoblaze is always going off with his stupid Anti-Chrom bias whenever Chrom comes up, it's so annoying. Chrom has absolutely nothing against him.

Is that Mr. Game & Watch's Brawl artwork flipped and turned slightly?

Meh. Try harder, leaker.
In fairness, that might be accurate :laugh:

Anyway, about Chrom, I think he may be treated a bit unfairly. It's just that the Tactician is such a better character, and gets just as much of a focus, so it's not that Chrom's a bad character, but he's overshadowed by the Tactician both as a character, and as a unit. He's a boring and predictable addition, which is why I really don't wanna see him playable anymore (gotta fix my sig).

I'm guessing it's either one of two reasons:

1. He doesn't want 3 blue-haired dudes with swords in the roster. That's kinda a lack of variety, in my opinion at least.

2. He didn't like Chrom's character in Awakening. I've played that game myself, and I was pretty indifferent to Chrom, but I see a lot of people hate on him for some reason. I will say he's a pretty generic hero guy though, which is kinda boring.
I haven't played Fire Emblem, but what could Chrom bring to the table?

Marth is princely, quick but weak, Ike is rough, slow but powerful...I guess Chrom would be a middleman like Dr. Mario?

I really hope Mewtwo's in. If he, is there's 3 ways I see him playing out.
1. Melee moveset.
2. Boss Character (sorry).
3. Revamped moveset with inspiration from his appearance from the Pokemon Origins Anime and more.
I made a video about it for anyone interested...

I don't like Chrom because of the way he is in Awakening. Too bland. And he has the same sword as Marth, but fights more rough like Ike does. If he was in, yes I think he'd be in the middle.

I don't play Pokemon, and I'm not even a Mewtwo fan, but I'm pretty confident Mewtwo's back.

Though they should change the splash blurb to "MEWTWO RETURNS!" Both because it would be more appropriate, and in case a certain piggy MOTHER villain gets his due...

I've played Awakening and I can tell you that Chrom is not a lousy character. PLEASE quit trying to bomb everybody who supports Chrom
Whatever, I'm going to be right anyway with Chrom being included and him contributing to absolutely nothing, so I don't need to bomb fans anyway.

But, you know, seeing those ******** fanboys of that mediocre game squirm is jolly good fun.

Kind of a stretch,but seems fair. How would Barrier work airborne,though?

I would say he would be a middle man. The thing is though, I'm not sure how Sakurai would handle him. I haven't played Marth's game, but I've played Path of Radiance, which is where Ike came from. In that game, his Speed and Strength were pretty good, but in Smash, his speed is pretty terrible. So I'm not sure how Sakurai would portray Chrom, who also has pretty good Strength, but wasn't quite as fast as Ike was. So, like I said, he would probably be a middle man. I would also say his fighting style in Smash would definitely be closer to Ike's than Marth's.

New Prediction/Wish Roster!

Super Smash Bros Wii U 3ds (58) Roster.png


It's basically the same as before.
A very optimistic number of characters: 55!

I changed some icons.
Like: Game and Watch, ROB, Anna

But the real major change is:
Takamaru- I got hope for him again. I've seen people make unique movesets for him after Greninja stole a chunk of his moves, and with the VC game and possibly being in Hyrule Warriors- it's obvious Nintendo is marketing him. Despite being an old retro character, he's come up a lot lately.

So that means I had to cut Mach Rider :(

Oh, and Anna's slot is still basically just a "Robin OR Anna" slot. I think Robin's more likely, but she's there because, well, mah roster, mah rules.
I... want her there. Just like I want Ghirahim there.
I was unsure and asking suggestions before about my retro pick, but I'm thinking Takamaru has a pretty great shot at the moment.

So there's nothing here I don't really care about. I hope we can get a roster as close to this as possible (but with Robin instead of Chrom) :p

I guess I'll do a newcomers list:
Rosalina
Dixie Kong
King K Rool
Ghirahim
Ridley
Villager
Shulk
Isaac
Wii Fit Trainer
Takamaru
Little Mac
Greninja
Palutena
Chrom
Anna
Mega Man
Pac-Man

Oh **** I just realized that's actually 17 :laugh:
Man, this is sadly... just not possible.
But oh well. I can't get myself to cut anybody else.
Speaking of cuts:

Cut veterans:
(Red)
Squirtle
Ivysaur
Roy
Dr. Mario
Pichu
(Young Link)

Do you guys like the changes?
Or really... the 1 change?

Edit: Also, a yellow outline means unlockable, and green means a starter. Do you think I chose who should be a starter/unlockable well?

I assume you are a big fan of the Wii/GCN games? Because I agree with you on the fanboy thing. Awakening isn't as fun imo.

I just asked an individual why the ways of a certain opinion,and I start a flamewar.

This is our community. I don't even care about Chrom. I just wanted a normal response from the individual I was replying too. Geez.

Man, if Awakening is mediocre, and it's one of my favorite games, then the others must be like ice-cold Coca-Cola.

This has little to do with Smash Bros, though.
Awakening bored me and was disappointing compared to Ike's two games. I feel like Chrom is only popular with the people who have only played Awakening, and I think for those who have played more than Awakening like other characters better.

Well... let me start:

I'm pretty sure if we get a new character for DK or/and FE, it will be just 1 not 2:drshrug:, so... i would take from that list Ana or Chrom and Dixie or K. K. Rool and maybe Ghirahim (No Ghirahim have to be in! :drflip:)

From what I can tell, Chrom is basically designed to be boring and predictable.

Doesn't change how I feel about Lucina and Anna, though.

I think the name Mewtwo strikes back is a reference to the movie (that's the name of the movie, so it makes sense they use that to reintroduce him) :drifloon:

Yeah I feel like he and his story are a bit kind of like Ike's which bothers me. I do like Lucina since she's a time traveler, and has a fierce personality I mean she even considers
Killing the Avatar
And Yeah Anna is always cool too.

Well I guess I'll be that one guy who says that I like Awakening just as much as the other Fire Emblem games released in the U.S. (I've played through all of them). I found it to be a phenomenal game and a good Continent-Change follow-up to PoR and Radiant Dawn (beaten Radiant Dawn 4 times, I adored the Tellius games) (in fact Awakening brought in some of new favorite characters, if my avatar isn't a hint). Maybe I'm just a franchise fanboy who will never hate anything with the title "Fire Emblem" but Awakening stands to be my favorite 3DS game so far.

I suppose I am also different in the sense that I love grinding my characters out to maxed out stats, which is possible in Awakening and hasn't been seen since the post-game of Sacred Stones.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their own unique interests and opinions, so I'm not mad at all if some here deem Awakening as a mediocre title. All I know is that I loved it. :grin:

On the topic of Awakening reps, I'd prefer Robin over Chrom in order to break the Blue-Hair Sword-Lord trend. Although my personal wishlist characters from Fire Emblem would be Micaiah and Ephraim (equal want for both).

If Mewtwo is in, and doesn't get revealed at E3, I think seeing him revealed on July 18th would be really cool. It's the anniversary of Pokemon, the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back. We shouldn't expect all reveals to be tied to games, though it makes more sense.

Even though I seriously doubt that we're getting 55 characters, I still really like your choices of newcomers. I would play the **** out of SSB4 if it had that roster.

Scatman, really, the Vaati+Trollface combo was funny, the first 300 times you did it. :p
How cruel :drohyou:

Actually if i don't get Ghirahim and i get Vaati i will be ok with it even if Ghirahim is way better than Vaati :drflip:

We all know that you will still play the **** out of SSB4 even if we don't get that roster :dr^_^:

I posted this a bit ago but it kinda got ignored, lol

does anyone think it will be possible to counter a fully charged straight-lunge with, say... Marth's down-b? And if so, what would happen?
