Indeed; I forget who said it a few pages back, but developers have to be as vague as possible regarding their games' development, as Sakurai was when he mentioned "thinking about" putting Pit in SSBU.
I think Roy could be made unique if Sakurai wanted too, but I am afraid he would fall into the "Ganondorf mentality" where he wouldn't want to change him (Roy) too much so as to alienate Melee players. Krom won't run into that same problem. He can fill that role of being the balance between Marth and Ike.
It was me. The reason I can make that is a mixture of casually following how the video game industry works and my own collegiate studies. Really though it is just common sense.Indeed; I forget who said it a few pages back, but developers have to be as vague as possible regarding their games' development, as Sakurai was when he mentioned "thinking about" putting Pit in SSBU.
What will remain equally constant is the fanbase's ability to probe excessively deep into the simplest quotes. If anything, I'm expected a basic quip about how the game is just starting and patience will pay off.
I've been posting it ("~His Knightliness Himself~, Johnknight1) for at least 7 years. Also, no one copies me, because they will never be as awesome as me.I'm surprised you haven't started a fad with that yet. Like Oasis's whole S thing.
But I kinda want a title like that, so I'mma make one, but I'mma also only use it every so often.
So good night.

...Feels good havin' a title... ME GUSTA
As do I. Personally, I might actually want him to get a movement in order to entertain us.
I don't think anyone with a brain is wanting to do this. Even though Roy is my favorite Fire Emblem character, Ike is the best Smash Bros. character from the series, behind only Marth. Roy might be up there, but it would require a lot more time, work, and effort than Marth or Ike. That will be true (to a much smaller extent) even if he is still a clone.
Anything could happen if Sakurai wanted it too... he just doesn't
Our numbers are growing...
I don't know about a movement, I think Pokémon Black and White 2 will help him out. As it stands now, to my knowledge, he is the only legendary left to reveal. Considering his movie will likely be next in line he is still in the running. I guess.As do I. Personally, I might actually want him to get a movement in order to entertain us.
This one?

I still think Marth and Ike are pretty much locks for Smash Wii U and 3DS, because they are amongst the most popular characters in the Smash Bros franchise.
Honestly I don't think Victini is even a factor. I think the running is, and eventually will be, between Zoroark and Genesect. To understand this requires looking beyond the now and using foresight to see what the Pokémon field will look like by 2013. Really though that is too much work for a video game...
Trust me, there will be a shift once Genesect is "officially" unveiled by The Pokémon Company and Game Freak. The Pokémon dynamic will change within the next year. Bet on it. At the very least it is going to take Sakurai a year or two to finalize the roster.
I was one of the few people on this site that liked Genesect when he was first revealed :3
Nah, he won't have the roster completed before 2013. You forget, part of the decision making process for characters is negotiating licensing rights and other legal mumbo jumbo with the different subsidiaries within and apart from Nintendo. That is not an easy thing, and with the prospect of having more characters, or characters from new companies, this task just became even more difficult. I guarantee you if Game Freak and The Pokémon Company have plans to push Genesect by the time they get some calls, it would not take much for them to bring that to Sakurai's attention even before buggy is "unveiled". After all, look at Roy? Not to say they will strong arm Sakurai, but they can make suggestions they feel is in their licenses best interest.
". 
Urgh.
genesect vs. mewtwo is actually one of the reasons i want genesect in this.
I dunno. Genesect's reveal will increase his popularity, but he isn't automatically on equal footing with Victini or Zoroark... yet. He may be, though.
No one is selling Roy short. If you want to see that go to Gamefaqs, although I would recommend not doing so because it really is bad over there at the moment...I find it funny how if any other character were one of the most requested newcomers for Smash 4 in Japan, everyone in this thread would consider that character a shoe-in for Smash 4. People need to stop selling Roy short. Even Sakurai is aware of his Western popularity (even using a personal anecdote of a black man personally thanking him for including Roy in Melee as an example of Japan-only characters being well received worldwide). I also think that if Krom is in, Ike will be a hidden character, and Sakurai may even do an "last time there was a character named Ike in Smash Bros....
I really think people should wait until FE13 is released before making a proper assessment on character chances (just look at Medusa).
I think most of what you have said is on the mark. There is a lot of expectations as far as patterns are concerned. I think, however, that people need to stop holding onto their ideas of "how Sakurai is going to do business." Take a look at Nintendo as of late, they haven't been following the "norm" as of late. Two, no three, mainline Mario titles on one system? Two Kirby games on one console? Pokémon has an actual sequel? A Sin and Punishment game? I could go on and on, but you all are smart enough to know what I am driving at here.
Not going to happen, Krom is definitely the main lord of the game. How Marth fits into everything will be something worth finding out, but I doubt it will affect Krom's chances of crossing over into SSB.
Good luck trying to receive payment from me, bub.Also, I own the word "I" Star. You owe me approximately $32,582.73 for using the word Star!
What I don't get, though, is why they look so much more fun to play as than any other Pokemon. To me, they don't. I would think Garbodor would be interesting to play as, even though it gives me nightmares. There are more than 600 Pokemon, and all of them have potential to be interesting playable characters.@ Giant Breadbug
People want Victini and Zoroark because they look like they would be fun to play as in smash bros... most of the time. At least, that's why I would want them.
People see them as
Medusa was featured as the main villain for Kid Icarus to the point where she was even given an OVA and featured prominently on the inside cover art for Uprising. There were absolutely no hints given that Medusa's role was going to be much less than what it was hyped up to be.
One Japanese suggestion for Mewtwo I saw specifically wanted him back due to the voice actor that voices him.
You see all Johnknight@ Chrono
I saw a certain underlord ruler coming in Uprising. UMAD!
Yes.
I doubt it. Even if so, as I said before, I doubt the story itself will influence Smash Bros that much. If I didn't believe that than by all accounts Medusa should not even be a thought in anyone's mind. That is not the case though.
A. That's subjective. I think they're generic and aesthetically trite. But I really don't see many people raving about how cool they are. The only people that I see doing that are reeeeeally dedicated fans.
Roy and Ike will be in. Masked MarthI do think Roy is likely because of his popularity, but his inclusion would make me worried for Ike, who I consider a higher priority character. Shrug.
Nah I just saw that, 11 of the past 12 Super Bowl champions (between the last 2 teams), and many things coming due to people's body language.
I think it will, solely because Sakurai will judge Krom in it. As Sakurai has admitted, he is a Fire Emblem fan. And from what I can tell, Sakurai likes Marth, Roy, and Ike a lot. Especially Marth.
Yes, and yes.
, has no shot at being playable. Therefore, I stick behind the Pokémon I think has even a miniscule shot, which has been about a dozen different Pokémon dating back to the pre-Brawl times. 
, and Knuckles), but most of us here are smart enough to realize they are just guilty pleasures w/ little to no shot at being playable.
