I guess the reflect barrier could appear on front of her shield (in the case she appears with it) to protect her from both physical and ranged attacks.
Inb4Palutena'sOwnNiceTry!
That's the plan, and like I said, she can angle it like the Mirror Shield, just more degrees, including protect her from above, but not behind her. She won't say that though. :p I'm bad with quotes and such. Honestly, she'll definitely be a fun character. I wonder how she'll grab opponents. Maybe standard left hand grab, or although I wouldn't say it yet, "Power of Caging!" I know a couple of her throws should involve her staff creating a light explosion onto the opponent (especially the D-throw).

If Palutena is granted a roster spot, I would hope developers would include her KI:U voice actress. Seeming how Pit retained his KI:U voice for SSB4, I would assume the same for Palutena. The voice actress brought such a charm and lightness to her character imo

MAXIMUM TROLLING: Palutena is unlocked by having enough codec conversations with her.

"You seem to be having so much fun down there, Pit! Why, I ought to join you!"

"What? Really?! Oh, you're just joking right? I'm still in the middle of a match! You wouldn't interrupt a match, would you?"

"Ahahahaha~! Oh Pit... No seriously, I'm coming down there! Super Bash Sisters needs me!

"Um, it's Super Smash Brothers..."

Well, I'm not giving up at all. I will stand by Palutena no matter what. D: We can stand together (needs Skype too for random talk?) and hope for Palutena. I still think March may be it since the KI anniversary thought was a bust.

Now people for some reason are seriously doubting Palutena's chances now. :urg:
I still stand by Palutena that she's really likely still, I don't know why people are giving up now.
I ain't giving up. She's my number 1 wanted character, right in front of Mewtwo and Robin! She will never be taken off of my roster!

We'll just have to wait for March and see what happens.. I think that's the best time to reveal the Goddess of Light.

I want her and expect her. And if she doesn't make the cut for whatever reason at least better be an AT, just watching her in HD will make me happy if she's not playable.

Sure, send me a PM, has this forum PMs? If not a message with your skype name in my profile page.

Maybe that's just the natural ebb and flow of character support. I see Palutena on pretty much every predicted roster and her name has been on several leaks (including that one that predicted the Ashley AT, though i don't believe it). The only thing stopping Palutena from inclusion at all is if for some reason Sakurai decides not to want her in. She has no large flaws or neck-and-neck competition for the roster spot from other KI characters imo.

I think a lot of Palutena supports know this, so unlike Impa or Ridley or any Fire Emblem supporter we don't need to fight or be especially vocal. A lot of people are just waiting for her reveal, and I'm sure the entire Smash community will be fairly surprised and letdown if she is not added.

And if she doesn't make the cut for whatever reason at least better be an AT
Palutena is my most wanted newcomer, easily claiming the number one spot while spot two and three change quite a bit. This is one character I will be hugely let down by if they're made an Assist Trophy. I'll eventually be placated she's in the game at all but it will be a grim day if I ever see her picture on SmashBros.com without that majical banner beneath it.

Half way through Kid Icarus Uprising and now she is in my top 5 wish list for Smash4. Her moveset has so much potential

Probably would, the only member of that game's cast I'd see being difficult to retain would be Medusa (Cree Summers). Mostly cause she might have a lot of career conflicts, but seemed to fit in Uprising into her schedule, so they probably could even get her.

which makes me want Medusa in the game more.

Definitely. Sakurai has to do something for Uprising. He made the game after all, so I'm hoping he'll at least celebrate its 2-year anniversary somehow. D:

I think it's in the form of "Conversation" now, and we can invite different people if we choose to, but Skype's faster for sure. I'll see what I can do.
EDIT: When clicking a profile, it's "Start a Conversation" now I think.

Us not fighting is what makes us more awesome than the "mainstream" wants. <3 We could peacefully talk here bout Palutena, Pit, and a few KI characters if we wanted to, and not have those big conflicts at all. Then again, Palutena does prefer to be peaceful. :laugh:

Gotta love her, huh? :3 The fun banters between her and Pit, and hilarious content. They'd be one amazing 2v2 team if it was possible. I wouldn't even mind being Pit or Palutena in that team. :3

The banter between Pit and Palutena may be funny, but nothing in that game beats the greatness that is Hades.

I always found Pit's hairflip and Sparkles moment (chapter 5 rally cry) one of if not my favorite moment in the game. It just spells that Pit would be hilarious and even cooler if Kid Icarus ever had an ongoing anime series.
I do admit Hades is a fun villain, much better than all the serious ones.

I imagine her reveal like this:

Pit is battling against other characters and when he activates his final smash Palutena storms in leaving Pit shocked. She then turns to him and says "Oh Pit leave fighting to a goddess!" then she beats everyone else with her powers ;).

I imagine it similar, but Pit's battling against multiple characters, is in danger, a super laser appears in front of Pit to protect him (perhaps the Glam Blaster?), another light appears, with Palutena coming from it, and says something like "You didn't think I'd let you have all the fun this time, did you Pit?". Follow that up with a light but playful hit with her staff on the angel, then starts fighting the others.

And at the end, the 2 are together again with a cool pose to hint a potential 2v2 team, only for Palutena to playfully hit him again, and bring out the nerdy glasses to taunt us. If it's on March 22/23, I hope there's a little thing showing that it's Uprising's 2-year anniversary.

And it must end with "Palutena Enters Super Bash Sisters!"

Her entrance quote thing perhaps as a joke, but then it gets ripped off and turns to "Palutena descends from the heavens!" as a minor reference to Hades messing up KIU's credits after Medusa's defeat. >_< There's so many things that can be done for her.

This made me think of the ultimate troll move.

The reveal trailer starts out with a big scenario, or whatever, and then Palutena shows up with an entrance banner (like the one you said). Although it seems to stay up longer than usual until Hades rips through it going "Now wait just a second, what kind of game would this be without me." Then the trailer becomes the typical montage which showcases Hades fighting in a style similar to Dormammu from MvC3. Hades4smashjklol

That would also be good for a double-reveal of newcomers. They could show Palutena's trailer, ending with a cutscene which leads into the Hades idea.

While it is creative, I'm still not keen on a playable Hades, but there still could be some way to bring in the humor in a similar fashion. Kid Icarus Uprising has the funny that even I can enjoy, so I wanna see something that will dazzle us besides the Palutena reveal, like how it's shown to us.

Lol how about the first Hades idea happening, only for Palutena to interrupt him and send him flying into the sky. It can be "superu-anime kawaii specieal" :awesome:.

Btw they should definitely have her talk a lot while fighting, because that's one of her many charms. I'm not talking Uprising level, but more often than others (similar to Wii Fit Trainer).

Real talk: Hades should be a boss/stage-hazard in SSB4. Seems only fitting for the King of Interruptions :p.

I only see him as a trophy atm. The KI boss can be Twinbellows most likely.

Chances are she's likely a hidden character. She probably wouldn't create a lot of buzz, even though she's popular. It's tough to explain, but I feel like she's largely hidden character material, even if I feel like we shouldn't unlock characters at all.

I say: Palutena as a starter, and Medusa as a unlockable.

The sole idea of seeing silhouette made of snakes when unlocking her would be fun.

If Sakurai think that the franchise is worthy of three playable reps (including Pit). Make it happen Sakurai. :(

Worst case scenario, Palutena won't be playable but will still have a strong presence within Kid Icarus.

She's going to get a lot of exposure regardless of the situation at hand, though I think the ideal route is to give her a shot at being playable.

If Palutena isn't Playable I'm gonna rage hard! I'm dead serious about this. She has so much going for her and it'll be silly if she isn't playable. That's like sakurai not adding Mii, PAC man, lil Mac or chrome we know they are obvious,

But knowing sakurai he can be a troll and make her a lame assist which I hope not.

Palutena for smash 4 please :)

I doubt that we can hardly say anyone is a shoo-in. Who says that a Fire Emblem spot cannot go to say Robin, Lyndis, or Roy in stead of Chrom? I can see that the Mii might not be included. I am pretty sure everyone thought Ridley was going to be in Brawl (I could be wrong as I was not around during that time).

I want Palutena in as much as anybody else here and I too think it would be silly to omit her from the roster. I just don't think anyone is guaranteed.

While Palutena is indeed my only want as far as characters go, I won't be furious, knowing she will definitely have a larger role than she was in Brawl. Even then I'll still have Pit and Bowser by my side. However, just seeing her in a daily pic one way or another will open up the chance for more fanart, and I feel we definitely need more KI fanart.

Chrome - Most popular lord in japan. Main character of awakening. Awakening stage confirmed for 3ds.

Mii - 2nd most popular and highest selling Nintendo series. They are everywhere Nintendo related.

Ridley - Hugely demanded in the west and even the Japanese are aware of his massive popularity. One of the last big names not playable yet.

Palutena - Most requested female currently. Giant popularity in japan and pretty big in the west.

Ya to be honest I consider these shoe ins. They have everything going for them. Wheather you like it or not.

Most people that I speak to have considered Robin to be as much as a main character as Chrom or even overshadow him. It's Chrom by the way, not Chrome.

And I see how demand may have some affect on whether a character gets in, but ultimately it is up to Sakurai whether they get in or not. If I recall correctly, not many people requested Rosalina as much as they did for Toad. And Toad, although not outright deconfirmed, has extremely low chances now in my opinion.

The only character in that line up that I actually am not fond of is the Miis, but that's for another topic.

Robin is important and a main but chrom is pretty much the face of awakening. Plus he's the most popular one. Yes another blue haired swordsman sounds dull but I really can't see them adding robin over chrom. I mean I would love them to add female robin > chrom. I'd be very happy! But knowing sakurai he prefers the main lead to be chosen before anyone else.

Rosalina had very little requests. Her addition was a huge shocker. I'm actually glad she was added. But it was a strong marketing move on Nintendo to add her. Her inclusion in smash will make her more familiar with everyone both old and new. I believe that's something miyamoto is trying to do.

I really don't want to see chrom. I'm being honest here but ehh I just feel it happening :(

As a non-FE fan, I see Robin being more plausible than Chrom. Robin represent the player, is as important for the scenario (as much as I know) and have more originality as a fighter. Also, Robin is not THE most popular character in Awakening, but He/She is really popular by the way: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/fe/kakusei_bk/kekka/index.html

About Palutena, she is the only one that I consider being a shoe-in, with her popularity, potential moveset, being a character revived by Sakurai, and her presence in Brawl.
But even if I think she is a shoe-in, she can step back :troll: But considering Kid Icarus is presented with the other big franchise in the Smash 4 trailer, a second character can happen. (and a Queen of the Underworld should happen too)

The only way I see Chrom getting in is if they replace Ike, but Robin (both genders) is one of the most popular characters, which helps his/her chances quite a lot. Not to mention that it would show the series being more than just swordsman by adding magic to the mix.

Rosalina having very little request definitely seems to indicate the fact that uniqueness is emphasized with the newcomers. This also seems to help Robin over Chrom if they decided to give him a stance change play style.
