I mean, it's possible that at some point in development, around the Gematsu leak, Chrom could've been playable but they decided against it. Maybe his moveset transferred to Lucina in favor of another girl to the roster. It does really hurt Gematsu imo, but that is a possibility.

I traded out my other avatar for my original one. I'm still hyped for Shulk, but I need to save my other avatars.
Reyn Time is coming.

While this was completely unexpected for more-or-less everyone, I have to let it be known that I am quite pleased with the Robin and Lucina reveals today (Chrom isn't listed on the official site, therefore he is not playable, guys and girls). The reason for that is that Gematsu is at best incomplete, and not gospel (that leak was a complete burden to me). This leaves highly requested characters (King K. Rool, Mewtwo, etc.) with more of an opportunity, which should be great news to hear in anyone's book. With that being said, don't be so disappointed about Shulk; Let me again say that his chances haven't gone down any, and that he is still very likely to be playable in SSBIV. I near expect him in certainty, to be honest. I believe that it's just a matter of time.

I still think Shulk will still come.

Sure there are questionable things about Sal's tipper's claims but I won't jump to conclusions just yet and either wait and see what the next two months before the 3DS Japanese version comes out has in store.

Whatever. I'm still excited for the possibility of Shulk. I say he's still got a very, very, very good chance. Don't forget his VA's tweet!
I'll just have to find someone else to replace Robin in my signature...

Damn, on one hand I'm happy that Robin/Lucina opened the gates to new possible characters, on the other Shulk is waaaaay better than both of them...

I'm still expecting Shulk. There's just way too much going for him to not have him in the game.
With that said, I don't think Chorus Kids are dead either. Things in game development can change all the time. Like I said, it's possible that Sal's legit and Chrom could've been playable around the time of the Gematsu leak. It's also possible that he just had a few lucky guesses with Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer and rode off of that. Anything's possible. Especially with Masahiro trollmeister Sakurai.

Guys this is just like that one major plot twist in Xenoblade when you know what happens. Guess that all means we know what will eventually happen. ;)

Woah. My like count is over 360. And I joined on Saturday. Look at how much hype can do people! It can build us up, make us feel like we're floating on air, but remember what we all were saying before Shulk was revealed. This is far from the end.

I'm not going to lie, I was very disappointed with the lack of Shulk since he's by far my number one favorite character but I feel him. I can feel the Reyn energy flowing through my veins. Yes... Shulk... He'll be in the game. He will come to us.

The only good things about all this is that Fire Emblem discussions will finally stop and CAPTAIN FALCOOOOOOOOON.

But I'm still confident about Shulk, but not because of Sal. More so the factor of Adam's tweet a while back.

Guys, just 'cause Gematsu's dead doesn't mean Shulk can't get in! Honestly, I considered him a shoo-in before Gematsu happened, and still consider him one today! I fully expect to see BOTH of my most wanted newcomers.

I'm glad you guys are mostly taking this well.

With or without a leak by our side, Shulk is still very likely.

I'm still going to believe the Gematsu leak.

-8/11 characters
3 of them being extremely unlikely
-The name mii fighters name before E3
-Pokemon From XY was a placeholder for Greninja
-Rhythm Heaven characters in smash run

Leak is still real imo

Wow, really glad this thread is taking this well. Remember when the Ridley thread was depressed after e3?
Actually, almost all of the threads are doing well... aside from Chrom of course. And the Chorus Kids are going to be in hot water now.
To raise the spirits of those who are still disappointed at no Shulk, have the Reynapple again. I'll have something else ready for later, too.
EDIT: Crashboards isn't letting me upload images. So much for Reynapple.

I told everyone the salt would be minimal, we are an AWESOME thread group here. Besides, Shulk is a top 5 most wanted character in Japan, I still think he gets in, and Robin looked awesome!

Robin actually makes me a little worried for Isaac (my third most wanted) as he essentially fills the role of "mage with a sword."

True. Captain Falcon was a straight up BOSS!
Yeah, he just about broke the sound barrier on Lucina's face.
Getting hit in the face by a punch that broke the sound barrier would do some freakin' damage.

Who knows what to make of Gematsu anymore, but Shulk will still probably make it in.
Though Sal straight up lied about him showing up today, didn't he?

By the way, yet another point against the idea of the developers avoiding spoilers.
Wasn't that point proven by Sheik a while back?

Captain Falcon was so non-nonchalant about everything, while Chrom and Lucina were having a super hard time fighting. It's funny because Falcon is just a racer.

Welp, so much for Monado Monday.

Oh well, at least that kills the Sal Leak. And hey, Shulk's still likely regardless.

By the way, did anyone else yell "Oh my god it's Monado Purge!" when Robin preformed that one attack on Captain Falcon during the beginning?

Isn't he one of the top 5 most wanted in the west aswell after this weekend?
