I never said that's why you want him in, I'm saying thats why people want him in and to be honest at least to me he doesn't feel unique in the slightest almost any other fire emblem character could take his place
Or maybe they want him in because they actually like him? You don't know what other people think. I also showed moves that only he has. What character could possibly take his place and be more unique than him?

You showed moves but as a whole they're not that unique. Many people say that it's just what happens, it's marth and the newest protagonist with no real reason to back it up and Most of the other lords could easily take his place

What do you mean they are not unique? No other character with a disjointed hitbox has those moves and there are countless properties you could apply to those hitboxes to make hem incredibly unique. I've literally pointed out a whole bunch of moves he has that are unique to him and that no other character has ever done or probably ever will. You are literally just blindly saying **** at this point and I'm done with this.

There not unique cause their just sword swings with nothing unique about them

I think P:M's overall speed boost is a more important boost that Ike needs rather than the jump cancel-able Quickdraw. Of course blue fire is an absolute necessity and I don't understand why it wasn't blue in Brawl.

I'm all for Chrom or someone from Awakening joining the new Smash, but...I really, REALLY want to see Ike return. That Final Smash looked pretty friggin' sweet. I could go in Practice Mode and spam it for hours.

Ike needs to return, and probably with a slight design change. I'm expecting him to be revealed in April.

I don't see why people have doubt of him returning I don't think Sakurai would just throw away his move-set especially after the outcry that was Mewtwo fans.

So, about the maximum size of the character roster? What if Sakurai added not only Marth back, but Roy, Ike, and a new character. Whenever I have a discussion about new characters, often times, people will worry that there isn't enough character slots, but each game expands its roster. Melee is 26 (27, including Sheik), Brawl is 35 (37, including Zero Suit and Sheik).

Well people say the 3DS has limitations (which is complete bull), also didn't melee have 25?

I'm too lazy to check the melee roster number. And as for the 3DS limitations, a 3DS can easily handle a three-way battle on Pokemon X/Y on 3D Mode - I'm pretty sure the 3DS can handle Smash Bros. I mean, street fighter was release on 3DS, it handled very well.

The 3DS can handle a ton of data. I think Sakurai's not going to skimp on the roster for the players just to fit the 3DS version.

Time constraints may be the only problem, sicne they're working on two games, but I think 3-4 Fire Emblem characters is fine. As long as Ike is one of them...

Time constraints are a pretty huge problem, especially considering they want this game out by the end of the summer.

It's true. At this point then, I expect Ike to be the only other FE character unless they squeeze Chrom in.

We might see him on the 20th, but I'm done predicting anything.

The sheer amount of Awakening influence already seen in the games makes me think if anything Ike might be removed to make way for an Awakening rep. I REALLY hope that's not the case as he's one of my favorite characters in Smash and my favorite FE Lord. But, as much as people like to hate on the relevance argument, Greninja kinda shows that they wanted a gen VI rep. I mean yeah Greninja had his supporters but I never saw a whole ton of people rooting for him. Obviously what I have seen =/= what actually was, but that's just from my experience.

All that aside, I think Ike has a good chance of returning, and us getting a new rep. Back to pokemon for example we got Lucario back and still a new gen VI rep, so Ike and an awakening rep don't seem impossible to me.

I hope Ike gets a re-design like Marth did. Since Marth has his Shadow Dragon design as opposed to Awakening, I'd assume the same would apply for Ike, who would use his Radiant Dawn design as opposed to Awakening's (which everyone seems to despise). But, which one, Hero or Vanguard?

Hero

Vanguard

I'd probably go with Hero for this one. Think Ike will get a revamped moveset for Smash 4 if he returns? Hopefully Eruption uses blue flames like in Project M, too!

I'm thinking the vanguard would look the best with all that awesome armor all over him.
But he should keep his face and build from brawl so he doesn't alienate fans of Ike.

Fire Emblem doesn't seem to be gathering much attention right now in Smash. Expecting it to rise to 3 slots seems a bit too optimistic right now. Ike's chances seem to be dwindling with the Awakening content and Marth seemingly taking over his starter role this time ..

I Don't Dislike Ike But I don't wanna him to take a space on the Roster, I mean Hes Uniqe And All Buuuuuuuut Chrome Is More Important to the FE Series RIGHT NOW Being in Awekining And All. If You Want Ike To Stay Cuase of His Moves, Can't He Just Pass Them Over To Chrome, He Would Still Play The Same But Also Be More Importent To FE Series... Just My Opinion!

No. Chrom is a descendant of Marth not Ike it wouldn`t make sense for him to have the same move set as Ike. If anything he would fight more like Marth. He should have his own unique move set.

Chrom is no way more important than Ike in the series, Ike is the second most important character to Fire Emblem, Chrom is only the poster boy of Awakening nothing more.

On other matter, if Ike is back he would be revealed before Chrom, because I think they first reveal all the veterans then reveal a newcomer, (Roy and MewTwo would be a different case because they have their own niche being a Newcomers and Veterans at the same time)

I'd like it if he took his Hero look, too. I dunno... I don't think the teal of his Vanguard armor looks very pleasant.
For his moveset, maybe some tweaks here and there, but I hope they don't change him too much. Especially his Jab. Jabbing people to death was one of my favorite things about Mr. Ike (and it has a nice rhythm to it.)

Fun Fact (which you all may already know): PM Ike's Eruption is blue 'cause it's Aura property and not actually fire. It doesn't detonate Blast Boxes, and kills red Pikmin!

That is interesting. Although blue fire is significantly hotter then red/orange fire so it might be able to kill red pikmin.

With that kind of mindset, there's nothing unique about Link's, Toon Link's, Metaknight's, or Pit's moveset because they're just sword swings, right?
Toon link's isn't unique anyway, meta knight has flight and it more aerial based and pit has dual swords

If Sheik came back, there's NO EXCUSE IN HELL that Ike shouldn't return! Ike is still the most prominent Fire Emblem character internationally aside from Marth. Punch Out Wii is also about as old as Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, and Little Mac got in... If Ike got shafted this time, am really gonna be dissapointed...

Oh wow didn't notice that yet... Maybe Ike's Final Smash will be more inspired on the final attack he used against Ashera? ...

Speculation God, GOML
Care to tell me who else has similar FS?
I believe Project Angel meant that we have seen similar Final Smashes before; hence the similarity isn't relevant. Not necessarily a Final Smash similar to Ike's specifically, just the notion that not all Final Smashes are entirely different. Plus, Greninja's Smash reminds me more of Captain Falcon's with the scenery change, unless that is a stage or something.
