I've lost all faith in Sakurai.


Yes, but you're forgetting that you dont like any original characters that have some merit. Are you hoping to get a Mii as a playable character? Maybe Mr. Normal? *******.
As I said in the other thread, I really dont think including so many FE characters would be a great idea. Although B specials may vary, the amount of variability Sak could make with the aerials and tilts/smashes would be little if any. We dont want more clones in this game, but unique, well-defined characters. Sure, she is a cool person in her game, but with Ike (and most likely, Marth), being in the game, I wouldnt see her as a unique fit. Keep in mind this is coming from a Falco player, so I know the implications for what I'm saying :p

He has a point. We're looking for variety, and not so much clones (Though I main Ganondorf, and play as Doc >_>).

I thought Lyn could've added tons of variety. She's a faster swordsman, using more of a katana rather than a longsword/broadsword. U_U

Not to offend anyone but a swords a sword which is a sword. The may have different properties but they still do the same thing, make slashing motions that cut things. Micaiah will bring more for the FE series.

I don't see what the big deal is. Don't get me wrong, I can get emotionally attatched with video game characters, especially Fire Emblem, but why does it matter that much?

Perhaps there is bias with my inability to feel anger, but if they deconfirm a character I want, I really don't care. God, even with all Dedede has going for him, even if they posted "Haha idiots! You thought Dedede was going to be in, but he's not! Not even a Sticker!" I wouldn't care. It's not like a character not being in the game makes it worse. Just that putting in more characters makes it better. The currently presented roster is satisfactory, so anything that comes beyond it doesn't matter.
Quoted for truth. It's not like Sakurai sodomized Lyn and said "lol gaijin n00bs, i pwn u". She's in the game as an AT, and that's good enough. The folks saying that this makes them sad and Brawl is ruined for them are overreacting on a massive scale.

Calm down, take solace in the fact that she's actually in a game that looks to be epic, and quit your BAWWWWWWWWWWing.

I'm glad this sh-t of a character isn't in. Hopefully Sakurai will actually be smart and decomfirm other sh-tty characters.
You sir, are an ***. Just because you didn't want this "****" character in doesn't mean that everyone didn't.

Many peoples hopes and wishes (despite how cheesy that sounds) are crushed now. I express my condolences to the people of this thread and Lyn's supporters.

I'm not surprised at all honestly. It's not that the character didn't deserve to be on the roster, but the Japanese fans despise the GBA games, so the decision to make her a trophy was pretty predictable.

I really, really hope that the Black Knight gets the second Fire Emblem slot. He's the most important villian in the series (starring in both Path of Radiance and the upcoming Radiant Dawn) and he belongs to the Telius branch of the series like Ike - which are the only Fire Emblem games popular among both Japanese and non-Japanese fans alike. I say he stands a good shot.

Spoken like a true Black Knight fan. Wise words... wise words.

Brawl sucks now. I dont care if Ridley is in anymore, it's crap.
Wow, really? I don't think I can ever take you seriously again.

It's really a shame you guys don't have the same taste as me because I haven't been disappointed once with either the character confirmations or de-confirmations. I never even expected Lyn to be playable.

Yeah, Lyn (or any character for that matter) isn't really that high on my priority list that if they aren't playable I wouldn't enjoy it. Granted I'd be annoyed if the majority of my hopefuls didn't make it, but from what I've seen so far I'd be actually quite happy if we just had the characters we have now, and we can guarantee that there will be plenty more.

Fortunately for me though I put Ike as my main concern regarding FE characters, so I'm pretty content with the FE slots already.

10 FE characters show up on Sakurai's character polls and...Lyn isn't one of them. Why are people so surprised?
Becuase they are letting their personal feelings over-rule actual logic when it comes to predictions.
They are creating false hope.

Dramatization: I think Ryu should be in Brawl! Ryu for Brawl! He's perfect! Streetfighter was on the SNES! Ryu for Brawl! (Two months later) Ryu ISN'T in Brawl?!?! I hate this game! This game sucks! I hate life! *Proceeds to shoot self* The a message to kids pops up saying: Don't do drugs.

Don't fall victim to OOUCPFBs: Outrageous or Unlikely Character Predictions For Brawl.

Though, Lyn is a sad loss.

Wow, soemone is quitting because their favorite character is an AT? How sad. That reminds me, I better get clean towels for that person after they slit their wrists. Tell me Caael, do you prefer towels with a little fishy pattern, or a baby animal pattern?

EDIT: And why the hell can't I see my banner? >:O

I really really need a character update. So far this week has been awful; I mean what else bad could happen?

Ridely confirmed as a boss only?

:GANON-JAB:

NEVER SPEAK SUCH BLASPHEMY AROUND ME!! :mad:


Err... Sorry...:urg:
No I'm sorry. The idea should never have been uttered from human lips and then typed onto a computer. My apologies.
Silly, inconseivable ideas. I was just being silly.

(Three months later) Its revealed that Ganondorf is just a boss.

"Dear God..... WHAT.... HAVE.... I.... DONE?!?!"

Such is the fate of a Smash forumer.
If you spend so much time arguing about certain characters, you become emotionally attached to them. It's inevitable, unless you are some sort of Vulcan or so.

Also, you guys are being too harsh to Caael.

I'll let that last part slip, cause it was funny.


>_> I'm watching you internets...

To be fair, I think he's being harsh on himself.

Though to be fair, the biggest Ridley supporter saying eff brawl, I don't care if Ridley is in or not, speaks millions.

Sigurd was never planned. That's a rumor due to Roy's emblem title in the debug menu, which he got because he was a character under construction for his own game. The fact that Sigurd got trumped by a non-existant character, doesn't bode well for him. Heck, he'll never beat out Marth, and will never make it as a third character, due to how close he'd be to Marth and Ike.
A rumor? Right..... >_>

Just admit you know nothing about Sigurd.

I do like original characters. Lyn is not. She's just some random FE character. If anyone deserves to be in Brawl as a FE character other than Marth and Ike is simply Sigurd, who plays an important part in the series along with Marth. But I honestly don't want Sigurd in, the only FE characters that need to be in is Marth and Ike. No need for a Black Knight, no need for some other random FE character. Two is just fine. Make room for other and more original characters from other series.

No, I don't speak for everyone, I speak for the truth. Simply said: Lyn would be a terrible character choice in Brawl. Why? Well, she has potential and all that, just like ANY OTHER FE CHARACTER (hey, so does any Pokemon, might as well put a random Pokemon in it that has no point!), but I honestly don't want her taking the space of other and more original characters that need to be in Brawl. Maybe in the sequel she'll get in, I honestly would be perfectly fine with that, but not in Brawl until we got all the necessary characters in.

I can't breathe. I'm crying more than I did when I watched "The Notebook."

I swear to god, there had better be SOMEONE from a GBA game in Brawl, or at least someone whose not Marth or from Ike's universe in Brawl, or I'm going to have to buy two copies, so I can smash it to a million pieces and then mail the pieces to Sakurai with a threatening letter attached.
Ha ha ha, oh wow.

What a bunch of whiney children.

Amen...

And I'm not sure that Marth is returning.

Lyn = pwned.

who's next?

Describe "original" characters for me. I guess you don't like Lugi that much because he's basicly a clone of Mario. Lyndis would have brought a unique katana like fighting style to brawl; random you say why don't you play the ****ing game that she was in. She was a main characer in her story and a supporting character to Eliwood's campaign along with Hector. A main character is not random last time I checked.

Fire Emblem is gaining more popularity statewise not even mention how popular it is in Japan to warrant more than 2 characters. Also what "orginal"characters from other series would you like to see that Fire Emblem if given more than two character slots is taking away from.

It seems like you haven't played a single FE game and are just spewing around your hate of the series.

Why don't you take a look at the Mikaya thread and tell me she's not unique. Your opinon's are not fact so stop stating them like they are.

Yes, but Luigi is very necessary and has an original spin to himself that sets him apart from Mario. He's the main side character in the series and Mario's brother. He's VERY necessary for Brawl.
Lyndis would have brought a unique katana like fighting style to brawl;
Takamaru would boost that concept ten fold as he's an actual samurai and important character.
random you say why don't you play the ****ing game that she was in. She was a main characer in her story and a supporting character to Eliwood's campaign along with Hector. A main character is not random last time I checked.
I've played and beat the game she was in. I also played all of the other Fire Emblem games. There's a sh-tload of characters in the whole **** series if you actually count them up, most being way more unique than Lyn. I'd say that, yes, she is a really random character from the whole series.

A lot of them. Smash shouldn't be filled with random Fire Emblem characters. Expand your library a bit and look at all Nintendo's series, Japan only or not (if you are biased against Japan only characters, you are a sh-thead), and you'd actually see how much of a sh-t character Lyn would be.
It seems like you haven't played a single FE game and are just spewing around ignorance.
I've played them all pretty much. If you think Lyn is the deserving FE character, you haven't played a FE game at all.

Oh wow, you've played them all pretty much, well so have I. I think Lyn deserves being an actual character of a trophy more than any other FE female does. She's the first FEMALE Lord as well as the first FE Lord in the US. That's got to count for something. I mean she's much better than Eliwuss, but, Hector defiantly deserves to be in.

So that makes her deserving to be in Brawl how?

Brawl needs more females, and what better way to add one than with Lyn. She's the first female FE lord so it fits the whole "main character/first character" theme that Brawl seems to have. (As in you see Bowser and Donkey Kong as characters instead of like Wart or Smithy.)

This Brawl update is very disappointing to me. D;
