Right behind you with a knife.
Roy wasn't popular in America. His game wasn't even released out here. The only people who liked him didn't like him for well...him. Its just his apperance really, since you couldn't understand what he was saying, his moves were taken from someone else, and his story was never fully explained unless you downloaded the game illegally. (I guess there are those in America who imported the game, and/or knew Japanese, but there aren't many)

He really didn't deserve it, and the one country where he mattered didn't like him. Its really no surprise. =/

Mewtwo probably wasn't taken out because of time constraints, seeing how everything is balanced. He probably made it so far in to development because the developers were trying to decide on using him or Jigs.

It's now commonly believed that he was taken out because the Pokemon company wanted Lucario in and Mewtwo was taken out probably because it would have given Pokemon more reps than Mario.

Lawlz.

Yeah-huh.
I'm afraid not!

- Still recognized by many (mainly for being one of the very-top-ubers, and it goes without saying that all the old fans will recognize him.)

- Still being used in marketing

- Still making cameos

- Huge fan outcry

He's not out-dated, but he is aging. He can't survive on those four things forever. I want to see him shine in SSB4.

:/

I don't see him returning in SSB4. I see some other random 5th gen pokemon taking Lucario's place.

I dunno about PT.

And Nintendo has to ask Gamefreak about which pokemon they want in, don't they?

Yeah sure, a Marth Clone. Is that what you want. A clone.
they could have easily luigifyed him so he'd be nothing like Marth just like Ike is barely a clone.

Roy wasn't popular with people in Japan....plus the fact that he's a clone.
He WAS popular. way more popular then the first game with Marth in it, may I add. Roy's game was much better then Marth's. I don't care if Marth IS the first lord, or even to go as far as say he's the face of FE.

I hate Fire Emblem and know barely anything outside of the US games, but c'mon, even I know this is bull ****.

Yes, it is outdated. We have too many 1st gen reps anyway.
You'd take quantity of Pokemon over quality?

Seeing as how all but one of the Pokemon reps are 1st gen, we don't have enough.

Marth's game- Shadow Dragon, has just been released on Friday, so Nintendo still acknowledge, and care about Marth.

what is? besides one opinion, where I said Roys game was better then Marth's, but seriously, Marth's was the first game, of course it sucked compared to the 7th. other then that, it was facts. Roy's game sold more then Marth's, and hey, Marth's game wasn't put in the US until recently. Roy's game wasFire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi, also known as Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade in English.

sure Nintendo does, that's why Marth was in Brawl. I never said Nintendo didn't like the gay tiara-wearing character. I was just in defense when people said Roy shouldn't be in Brawl because he's a clone.

I liked Roy, I just believe that Marth represents the Franchise, as he was there from the beginning.
That's why Pikachu is still there, as well as Jigglypuff, because they are two of the most popular Pokemon.

If I've read right, he has/can get a wife. A female wife.

Gentlemen, ready the rat poison.

Though Roy's disappearance makes me fearful for Ike when it comes to SSB4. Chances are they'll move in the progression of Marth-plus-the-current-Lord, which is probably fair, but...I like Ike, dang it! And that's speaking from having played Radiant Dawn. Not to mention his character is also fairly unique in SSB too, it's a playstyle I'd rather weren't discarded.

Just playing around, but I don't think Roy should return. Wasn't interesting. I actually want Lyndis instead of him.

That tiara is there for a reason.
If he didn't have that tiara, he'd be as manly as Melee Falcon.
You wouldn't be able to handle that, now would ya?
For being a clone is a stupid reason, but a reason that actually works. Sora and Nintendo and HAL I think can't be bothered to unclone a character. It takes too much work figuring out what would and wouldn't piss off the fanbase.
I also think that if there was any franchise that deserves more representatives just of because the quantity of characters it has, I'd have to pick Pokemon.

Mewtwo was probably taken out for balancing the series, but that has nothing to do with Lucario. Lucario got in because at the time he was popular, but mainly because he was 4th gen. The Pokemon series needed someone from recent games to represent them, and that's where Lucario's spot came in from. If Mewtwo was in, he wouldn't have effected Lucario at all, but rather Jigglypuff, who was a returning first gen Pokemon just like him. This is reinforced by Jigs position in Brawl, being not really in SSE, at the end of the credit list, bottum of the select screen and other hints. In the end, it was a decision between her and Mewtwo, not Mewtwo and Lucario.

As for Ike, he probably isn't going anywhere. He is well known in America, and has two games out here. He's also not a clone, and is very poppular. In my opinion, its very unlikely he'll be cut out like Roy (a last minnute addition to Melee) was.

Not bad, but a Third Party Series never gets more. It only gets one.

Besides I would put my roster up for you guys, but you all probably seen it before. So not going to bother putting it up again.

There's no proof that it's impossible for a third party series to get multiple characters, it's just a commonly held belief that it won't happen.

I use to like Sonic and was a fan, but it now really sucks.

Tails sucks alot as well.

What did they do to the Sonic games. They killed the series.

If anyone gets word on an official discussion about a new game post it or tell me. D: If they do indeed make another, which I think they will, I'm interested in what they'd call it. I'm bidding on "Super Smash Bros Skirmish" <3
