He was in Melee.Alright, Since it seems Pieman and I are the only ones who are anti-roy, and argueing is now more futile than productive, can someone just answer me this question?
WHY is Roy so popular with you guys, I mean this genuinely?
Hopefully yes.So was Pichu. So was Dr. Mario.
Does that mean they'll get back in, too?
I don't think they were as popular (save Dr. Mario's tier status) as Roy and Mewtwo. Pichu and Dr. Mario were the ones people were expecting to get cut more than anyone else.@drag0nscythe: So was Pichu. So was Dr. Mario.
Does that mean they'll get back in, too?
well, they weren't very popular@drag0nscythe: So was Pichu. So was Dr. Mario.
Does that mean they'll get back in, too?
Way I see it, just change the mesh/model of the moves. He shoots fire as Mario and the Fireballs are just re-meshed (same everything, just look different) as pills.I can understand dr. mario being a costume for mario, but not a different moveset.
Maybe mario could throw pills as an attack, to keep that hint of dr. mario
throwing a pill could replace the cape twirl by far...
My pokemon series rep ideaAnother thing is pichu, and all these other pokemon.
We don't want an OVERLOAD of pokemon, especially useless ones
And, making pikachu transformable into riachu, and pichu just isn't right, we should keep the origional characters alone.
As for other pokemon, we should at least have
PKMN T.
Female PKMN T.
Pikchu
Mewtwo
Lucario
-----
And thats alot to begin with....we should leave it there, and focus on adding characters to groups with little reps, like DK
So says the one that says we need more female reps just for the sake of having female reps.I dont think that pokemon is the most work-needed
Pikmin, DK, and f zero deserve more reps
P.S. Jigglypuff needs to go, she's kinda useless compared to all the new and future fighters, and if we want to have more pokemon, jigglypuff is a sacrafice needing to be made
What do you see about Sigurd that makes him so unable to join the roster? and Roy for that matter.While still playing Roy's game he seems different compared to some of the other Lords from other games. But I must admit the only lord that sticks out a little is Ike, but mostly because of how he started. The majority of lords are high class nobles, and if you want a generic lord look at Erika and her brother. Now thats as generic as they get....Gardevoir? Drag0n, what is your stance on Krystal again?
Oh, and since I don't particularly like to play roms, and have no means to play Japanese games, I've only really played FE7-11, though I've read a lot of the translated script for FE6, since it expanded the story of 7, and know a fair amount of information on FE4-5. (No clue on stuff for FE2, and know stuff on FE1/3 based on FE11.)
That being said, I guess I shouldn't put down Sigurd as much as I do, but I really just don't see how he can get in.

When I think about it I only thought of Roy being different when I started to play his game.Anyways, what makes Sigurd seem so unlikely is that he doesn't seem to have anything that stands out about him that both Ike and Marth don't already do. Given the fact that he has a fighting style, as well as aethetic similarities, combined with the fact that his game happened so long ago, makes him seem about as likely as Ninten, or a LttP version of Link. As for Roy, its because he has less that stands out for him than even the twins (Individually, the twins are probably even more dull than Roy though. I guess its just the concept of two lords that make them stand out, though the execution wasn't done well) Really, if you do think that Roy seemed different, do tell in what way you thought that. Maybe it was something I didn't pick up, or was something you only really get when playing the game first hand.
But why should the roster be determined by Smash fans, and not the actual fans of the series? If it was Smash fans alone, all the clones would have stayed, we would get Goroh (who makes a cameo in Melee) instead of say Lucas, Ike, or ROB. Brawl's roster would be pretty much based on trophies and other cameos, while SSB4's would be based around ATs. Given that FE has been treated like a commericial for the Smash series, it also makes no sense to advertise to people who won't buy the game, or to advertise a game that won't come out, and both are happening right there.A fan of Roy is most likely a smash fan, and rarely ever do you see an FE fan like Roy. However, it's clear that the smash fans have a bigger say in what characters they want in the roster because the game is played and recognized by them a lot more than a fan of a single represented series in SSB. The voice of the smash fans is much larger than fans of a particular series. Also, I'm not supporting Roy's inclusion, I'm just saying that it is very likely for him to make a return in SSB4. His exclusion in Brawl was noticed by many, and if a large number of fans wish for his return(which many people do) then that already promotes a good chance for his return, even if he is a poor candidate to represent the FE series properly.
Sheik is Zelda though, and Zelda is one of the main characters of her series, and represents it well. On top of that, Sheik was planned for TP anyways. If Sheik was on her own, yes she would be a very poor representation of the Zelda series, but she isn't on her own, and that's what got her in Melee in the first place. The only character who could even theoretically replace Sheik, giver her position would be Tetra, and that's not working unless you replace Zelda with Toon Zelda. Roy isn't the same as that, since he had his one game, his one cameo, and that was it. Outside of a hypothetical cross over game, which Roy may or may not even show up in if it ever exists, there is no chance for Roy to ever show up again. He's not teamed up with anyone, he's not topical, and he doesn't really bring anything new, being a clone. (And to those saying that being a clone is a plus to his inclusion, since its easier for the developers, the same can be said of mostly any other FE character with a simmilar weapon and body type, since they can just be given a clonned moveset as well. Either way, the outside look is going to have to be redone even if it is Roy)Look at Sheik, she made an appearance in one Zelda game(albeit, a **** good one) and she's still in Brawl, mostly due to most Smash fans liking her in Melee. Sheik represents the Zelda franchise poorly, considering there are many other Zelda characters that could've done a much better job at that. However, she was much liked by the smash fans in her Melee appearance, and her exclusion would have been noticed, and not approved of. I'm pretty sure most Zelda fans would not have minded that much if Sheik was cut, solely because better characters could've fit the role of representing the Zelda series better. But instead, Sheik managed to get in the roster because of one vital reason: popularity. Surely, if this was enough to get a character inside of a roster, then Roy could have easily been in the roster for the same reason. Roy's case is pretty similar to Sheik, so he has a pretty good chance. And also, I'm not exactly anti-Roy, but I don't exactly support him either. Like Pieman, I think he represents the FE series poorly and shouldn't have been in Melee in the first place. However, I do beleive his return is very likely, since Sakurai intended to have him in Brawl in the first place.
If Roy is put back in, they will have to make his animations from scratch (Or Marth) anyway.Roy's animations in-game are similar to Marth's. It would be rather difficult to un-clone him.
I would like to see Roy make a comeback, and since he'd probably be a clone (Maybe luigified), I don't think another FE lord is out of the question. Kirby deosn't really have a good character that can be added as a fourth rep, nor does it need one. It wouldn't hurt to give StarFox four reps but it seems excessive. If you're looking for series that need more reps, I would direct you to DK and F-Zero.Why not give FE 4 playable reps? It could be Marth and Ike, with two of these three choices: new lord, Micaiah, or Roy.
The Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda series would have five reps at least; it wouldn't hurt to give the Kirby, Starfox, and FE series 4 playable reps.

I agree with Micaiah but Lyn and Roy would be too similar to a mix of Marth and Ike, for FE I say we should have this:
Ike
Marth
Micaiah
Nephenee or Sheeda
Maybe a Laguz, Caineghis is my choice
I'll post a full roster later...
What about FE? I would love to see Lyn or Micaiah playable (I can't have both, though), and if there is no new lord by the time Smash 4 comes out, then Roy can return as a playable fighter, then is fan's would stop complaining as much. It wouldn't hurt to give FE four playable reps, but that's just my opinion.I would like to see Roy make a comeback, and since he'd probably be a clone (Maybe luigified), I don't think another FE lord is out of the question.

If you're going to suggest Ganondorf to have a sword-based moveset, I wouldn't recommend it because some people (including me) don't like it when people make that suggestion, and some people (including me) also hate it when people dump Ganondorf's fist moveset onto Black Shadow.Bring back Roy, declone with, and make him a beast.
Same with Ganondorf.
There. Three Fire Emblem characters.
Uh....If that's true, then Roy won't show up until SSB5, since I'm fairly sure no one voted for him in the Brawl polls.If Roy is put back in, they will have to make his animations from scratch (Or Marth) anyway.
@Pieman
The roster of SSB4 will largely be based on the Brawl polls. And whether Roy returns or not will be determined by the SSB4 polls. Do you know who votes in those polls? (Hint: Not Halo fans)
sorry to beat a dead horse, but...I was referring to his animations in FE6, which are mostly look like Marth's neutral B attack, with the exception of his Promoted class' critical, which is the stab with fire...If Roy is put back in, they will have to make his animations from scratch (Or Marth) anyway.

So Whatdaya Think?
Holy god, that was bad. Please, for the love of God, stop now. You lost 2 pages back.Roy...the second most important...wow, that's....wow. Really now, yes Melee had a important role in Fire Emblem, and did introduce it to the west, but its not something you should base the roster around, since itis not Fire Emblem. Its a different series. Quite frankly, if Melee's influence on Fire Emblem mattered that much, then we would have had Roy in Brawl. If Roy was the second most important character, then how do you explain Brawl? If Roy was the second most important FE character, then how do you explain his game not coming out internationally, instead of FE7? Really now, in the standings of Fire Emblem itself, Roy is about as significant as Leaf.
We need to cut down on the characters like kamek, and dixie (unless she was a team with diddy)I have been thinking a lot lately. Specifically, about all this, "We needz a WTF character" and "We needz villains", and I have come to a conclusion. SSB4 needs to have a character to fill the "Woman in skin-tight clothing who does not appear on the CSS" slot. Melee had Sheik and Brawl had ZSS. Who do you think will be the next?
I'm getting tired of FE discussion, so moving on....

Can somebody please answer this question for me? Thank you!And aren't Caeda's and Nephenee's outfits a bit too sexually-orientated?
