Sceptile isn't getting over blaziken and blaziken isn't happening

If patterns alone determine newcomers, then we are getting Diskun as another hardware rep. This "pattern" surrounding Sceptile has absolutely no merit at all.Mega Evolution alone doesn't, but along with the upcoming remakes and Grass/Fire/Water pattern, it looks quite ominous.
EDIT: Okay I should stop being so negative, so I'll drop this
You actually make a good point.I honestly think we have our only pokemon newcomer already. As ive said in the past i think most of the series will only get one newcomer at most, just based on how much effort is put into each trailer and that it would be ludicrous to believe wed get something like 15 of those when they could even pair some up if they were from the same series. Them squeezing charizard into greninja's seemed like a good indication of that.
Not really. If irc, OR/AS weren't revealed then, and neither was Sceptile's mega evolution. I think Sceptile only chance is if Sakurai went to GF for pokemon reps and they more or less told him who to add based on who would promote the brand.You actually make a good point.
I'm not saying that Sceptile is deconfirmed but if they were really going or that rock-paper-scissors trio, they would've added Sceptile in the trailer.
On the other hand, you could argue that they could have revealed someone else in the Direct and waited to show off the Pokemon trailer (with Sceptile thrown in as well) until after OR/AS was announced.Not really.

Interesting point. However, I'm a bit skeptical of the notion they'd put two newcomers in the same trailer (Charizard doesn't count). Like I said, I don't think Sceptile is likely, but he isn't impossible either.On the other hand, you could argue that they could have revealed someone else in the Direct and waited to show off the Pokemon trailer (with Sceptile thrown in as well) until after OR/AS was announced.
I'm planning on trying out Rosalina at the Best Buy demo. She seems like the most interesting newcomer we have so far.Mega Swampert is Mega Ugly
Only a couple more days until E3! And I can't wait to try out the demo!
Hopefully someone plays as the Villager and some of the other newcomers as well as veterans that received numerous buffs, but I bet everyone will try to choose frickin' Marth and Fox. . .
What's wrong with Robin, aside from your personal preferences?Not Robin again.
Any other topics?
I would need to be escorted to the hospital due to a massive heart attack.What If Paper Mario Was Announced For SSB4?
I would really want to see that. Maybe I'll do that as well.The problem I see with a lot of character choices on this site, is that a lot of character supporters say, ' I think _____ is going to be in because I say these things matter!"
I'm not naming fanbases, because I'm not going to start a flame war (especially because I'm a mod!!!), but it's just something that I've been thinking about. I think this E3 is going to crush lots of dreams, and there's going to be massive butthurt. I think people are going to be surprised with what happens, and most of it will come from characters who get revealed.
I think it's highly likely that we get Pac-Man and Mii's, based on the exposure and attention that will get. I think it's also entirely possible that Snake gets revealed based on recent information. Mewtwo is a good candidate as well. Shulk, Palutena, and Chrom are the only other newcomers I could see getting revealed.
I'm thinking I might make an essay about my first speculation (possibly my last) period, and what I thought about the character suggestions I've seen and what actually happened. I might get in trouble for it, but I don't plan on being nasty toward any fanbase, because I'm going to look at things logically. But I probably won't start on it until I know the final roster.
Hopefully people read and maybe take a few things into consideration next time. I don't know if I'll be back for the next game. I'll probably be here for awhile, but I do hope people are interested.
I agree, and its probably the most likely outcome, and there will for sure be people mad. Especially if the gematsu leak gains some validity in the process.The problem I see with a lot of character choices on this site, is that a lot of character supporters say, ' I think _____ is going to be in because I say these things matter!"

I actually did a post on my thread saying that this week end is a great possibility to just think about what we know so far since our hope isn't granted and it just might not happen.The problem I see with a lot of character choices on this site, is that a lot of character supporters say, ' I think _____ is going to be in because I say these things matter!"

HAHAHA It won't happen for me because usually, I'm able to contain strong emotions but consider this:I would need to be escorted to the hospital due to a massive heart attack.
Well said.The problem I see with a lot of character choices on this site, is that a lot of character supporters say, ' I think _____ is going to be in because I say these things matter!"

No more so than WFT imo.A Mii reveal at E3 would be such a hype-killer.
Those are just opinions that won't stop Sakurai from revealing them.A Mii reveal at E3 would be such a hype-killer.
Well, now that we have more knowledge about the game, and considering how most of the previous reveals have been somewhat surprising additions, most people are hoping for some actual fan favorites this time around. A reveal like that at this point would be more disappointing than one earlier on.No more so than WFT imo.
The fact that they're not playable will, though.Those are just opinions that won't stop Sakurai from revealing them.
Not only that. Sceptile would be boring.Sceptile isn't getting over blaziken and blaziken isn't happening
That's a fair point, but I think the fact that there will likely be more information given about the game at this E3 than the previous, so the Mii reveal will probably be offset by a greater amount of other content than the WFT was. Assuming ofc there are a couple other characters revealed at least. But I mean, with the Developer Direct I can't imagine there will be a shortage of info to balance reveals people are less-than taken with.Well, now that we have more knowledge about the game, and considering how most of the previous reveals have been somewhat surprising additions, most people are hoping for some actual fan favorites this time around.

WFT's reveal actually made you less hyped for the game? Well, to each his own.No more so than WFT imo.
"Little Mac would be sooooo boring! All he does is punch!"Not only that. Sceptile would be boring.
I'd be so bold as to say a similar thing will happen with the Miis.WFT's reveal actually made you less hyped for the game? Well, to each his own.
Most people seemed either neutral or positive about it once the dust settled.
I bolded the key words.WFT's reveal actually made you less hyped for the game? Well, to each his own.

Probably for the same reason some people are opposed to Robin (Fire Emblem) as a newcomer. They are just "avatars". Plus, the Miis are mostly present in "casual" games (I hate this word), which unfortunately give them an undeserved bad reputation.Miis are iconic and well known. Wii Sports is one of the biggest IPs of all time and they've been in various Mario spin offs (most notably, Mario Kart, which is at this point is a bigger brand than main Mario heh.) and other titles like Find Mii and recently, Tomodachi Life, which is on high demand and is doing very well. (According to the Gamestop employee when I went to buy it anyway. It was sold out, damn my luck.)
They're popular, and they're technically fan favorites, certainly more than most (all) characters that are left. They're just not liked by the dedicated Smash fanbase for some reason.
I'd be fine with Robin. He's a better choice than Chrom, at least.Probably for the same reason some people are opposed to Robin (Fire Emblem) as a newcomer. They are just "avatars".

But of course, I'm not their biggest fan myself. Picking them is one of two ways to get me to look down on you in Mario Kart, the other is Rosalina. I'll likely target you too.Probably for the same reason some people are opposed to Robin (Fire Emblem) as a newcomer. They are just "avatars".

See I don't think wft was a hype killer at all. It was such an out of the ball park newcomer that people couldn't believe it and had to see what it was all about. Which brought more people onto the website and got people talking. Not to say that smash needed the help, but every little bit counts.No more so than WFT imo.
Not by saying that the only reason he is considered is to fill the elemental triangle, he would fell like the filler pokemonNot only that. Sceptile would be boring.
