[cmbsfm]

Veterans:
Meta Knight
Gannondorf
Falco
Wario
Lucas
Game and watch
Ice climbers
Rest of the remaining 12 original veterans.
Snake
Mewtwo?
Newcomers:
Palutena, King K Rool, Shulk, Ridley, Chrom, Namco Rep

 

[Morbi]

I too am quite excited to see how they've altered Ganondorf, I was actually thinking it'd be pretty cool if they used his Wind Waker design for this game because it's a nice design and fits with the vibrant colors of the game.

I honestly wouldn't mind; something brighter and less detailed would be aesthetically diverse for Ganondorf.

Better Ganon to reveal out of all Ganondorfs:

This Ganon will make people really happy for sure.

This is also true; it is about time we got a second Ganondorf incarnation on the roster.

I suppose when it comes down to it, I am cool with whatever they do with Ganondorf.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Pacman
Palutena or Shulk

 

[SpeedBoost]

Ness WILL be shown then because Earthbound has an anniversary on June 5.

 

[CaptainCrisb]

We had 5 newcomers in Brawl's trailer, so I don't know too much as to why you guys are limiting yourselves. ANYWAY, getting on topic here:
Veterans:
Snake
Ganondorf
Mewtwo
Newcomers:
Palutena
Shulk
Chrom
Pac Man
Mii

 

[Gameboi834]

I'm expecting:

Veterans:
Ness
Cpt. Falcon
Ganondorf
Wario
Ice Climbers
Meta Knight

Newcomers:
Pac-Man
Palutena
Mii
1 or 2 others (Chorus Men/Shulk/Chrom?)

 

[Luigi#1]

Watch everybody be mad about no Ness or Cpt.Falcon [and to a lesser extent Jigglypuff] showing up before the game.

 

[Gameboi834]

Watch everybody be mad about no Ness or Cpt.Falcon [and to a lesser extent Jigglypuff] showing up before the game.

I wouldn't necessarily be mad, but just to see him participate in a character reveal or some gameplay would be nice. He may very well be unlockable.

 

[Deleted member]

Veterans: I'm thinking that we might see a decloned Ganondorf at last. I dunno about Meta Knight or Wario yet... I think that they would be revealed here if they aren't revealed next month. I can also see Ness and Captain Falcon.

Newcomers: This is tricky to predict. I'm just going out on a limb and predict Shulk, Palutena, Pac-Man, and the Chorus Men.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'm just going to pull a limb out and say that all your safe character predictions will turn upside down again at E3.

 

[Luigi player]

Veterans:

Snake (if he returns he should be shown at E3 or before)
Wario
maybe MetaKnight
maybe ICs
The three above could be revealed before E3 though... in this case maybe some others, or no vets at all.
Oh, right, Ganondorf is also a likely possibility.


Newcomers:

PacMan (if he's in)
Mii...
Maybe someone else who would really hype people, like...
Mewtwo (could be saved for after the release too)
Ridley (maybe?)
K. Rool / Dixie...

 

[mini paincakes]

Vets:
Wario
Ice Climbers
Meta Knight
Ganondorf
Snake (hopefully)
MEWTWO

Snake and mewtwo need to be shown a e3. Mewtwo because he's probably the most requested character and snake because he's 3rd party.

Newcomers:
Pac-Man
Shulk
K Rool
Palutena
Chrom
Isaac (plz nintendo)
Ridley (unlesss he's actually just a stage boss)
Mii ( I hate the character idea, but very likely to be in the game)

I only expect about 3-4 of these newcomers to actually be shown. If Pac Man and Ridley are in the game, they will definitely appear in some big reveal.

 

[Road Death Wheel]

I honestly don't think namco is getting a rep sakurai said there getting no special treatment.

 

[Gameboi834]

I honestly don't think namco is getting a rep sakurai said there getting no special treatment.

Pac-Man would be pretty standard treatment if you ask me.

 

[Starcutter]

I honestly don't think namco is getting a rep sakurai said there getting no special treatment.

I think Namco is getting "special treatment" but only in regards to the special flag summons.


so no newcomers.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

No special treatment doesn't mean no character. Just because the boss hired his own son doesn't mean it's nepotism. For all you know he actually earned that business diploma.

That analogy went to a weird place.

 

[NocturnalQuill]

I don't expect to see a ton of character reveals. If Brawl was any indication, characters that aren't heavily hyped (Sonic and Snake) are never revealed pre-launch. I expect so see more about stages and the Wii U version's single player.

 

[Wyoming]

Some of your lists make me look pessimistic! I thought I was being optimistic here saying 5-6 characters.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Veterans:
Ice Climbers
Mr. Game & Watch ???
Ness
Captain Falcon
Wario
Ganondorf
Meta Knight
Falco
Jigglypuff

Newcomers:
Pac-man
Palutena
Minecraft Steve

I honestly don't think namco is getting a rep sakurai said there getting no special treatment.

Well, they got their own item. (The Special Flag) He may at least appear as one of the things that can be summoned from the item. Pac-man is one of the most iconic characters from gaming. (Along with Mario, Mega Man, Sonic, etc.)

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Newcomers: Palutena, Shulk, Miis, Pacman
Veterans: Any of the following who haven't been revealed on the website by then: Wario, Ice Climbers, Meta Knight, Ness/Lucas, Ike (if he's back).

I'm feeling a Shulk reveal due to the highly likely X blowout we'll see at E3 this year.

 

[Road Death Wheel]

Veterans:
Ice Climbers
Mr. Game & Watch ???
Ness
Captain Falcon
Wario
Ganondorf
Meta Knight
Falco
Jigglypuff

Newcomers:
Pac-man
Palutena
Minecraft Steve

if you were to show the modern art of pac man to 3rd world countries he most likely would not be recognized so he really aint that iconic anymore.

 

[smashingDoug]

newcomer agumon please ah who am i kidding
Palutena i'm on that ship
king k rool small chance
krystal maybe

 

[Gunla]

3 Veterans and 3 Newcomers is the ideal scenario in my eyes.
This would make the starting roster 35. Brawl's was 25 slots, Melee has 15. I think this one will follow suit.

As for whom...
Possible Veterans:
Ice Climbers
Meta Knight
Wario
Lucas
Mewtwo
Ike

Possible Newcomers:
Pac-Man
Shulk
Palutena
DK Newcomer
Chrom

 

[GunGunW]

Why do people think Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, and Ness will be starters. They are probably unlockables. Luigi was only revealed because it was the Year of Luigi.

Because for all we know he could pull a Melee and make Cap and Ness starters again... plus even if they aren't, he's still revealing characters that are obviously not going to be starter characters before the game comes out.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I'd love to see Sakurai throw us a curve ball (Isaac would be dandy) but if that Sal leak is accurate his E3 "curve ball" might end up being Shulk (Which I would love, mind!) but it wouldn't have as much impact as originally intended.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Shulk and Isaac aren't exactly curveballs, those are characters the majority would expect.
A real curveball would be Nintendog Trainer, Kawashima, and technically Chorus Men.

 

[Mic_128]

Why do people think Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, and Ness will be starters. They are probably unlockables. Luigi was only revealed because it was the Year of Luigi.

Brawl revealed a bunch of unlockables on the Dojo well before launch.

 

[Sonic Poke]

Veterans: Lucas, Wolf, Ganondorf, Mewtwo, Meta Knight and/or Wario.
Newcomers: Ridley/ Palutena/ Chrom/ Shulk in the trailer. Pac Man in the chalenger approaching trailer. A surprise character that nobody expects in the surprise trailer. A surprise newcomer a bit expected in the tournment.

 

[Moon Monkey]

I definitely think C. Falcon and Pac-man will be shown off at E3.

How I feel about Miis:

Though I guess at this point they have pretty much one of the best chances...

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Shulk and Isaac aren't exactly curveballs, those are characters the majority would expect.
A real curveball would be Nintendog Trainer, Kawashima, and technically Chorus Men.

In a way I feel like they are curve balls, especially Isaac.

I feel like at this point people are jaded against Isaac's chances to the point that they'd be taken aback by his inclusion. Even though he's my number one most wanted and I support him hugely and I'll always say I expect him......if he ever actually becomes playable I'll feel genuinely shocked. Probably even more shocked than Wii Fit Trainer or Chorus Men could ever make me.

Might just be pessimism creeping in though.

 

[SpeedBoost]

Veterans
Ness (EarthBound Anniversary)
Wario (I just have a hunch, he kinda has a Yoshi effect; where everyone wants to see him but we know he is coming)
Cpt. Falcon (The HYPE that would build if they showed a Falcon Punch)
Falco
Ganondorf

Newcomers
Pac Man (Dem leaks)
Mii (Dem leaks)
Shulk (Dem leaks. MAKE IT HAPPEN, SAKURIA)
Chrom (Dem leaks, REPLACE IKE)

 

[Luigi#1]

Because for all we know he could pull a Melee and make Cap and Ness starters again... plus even if they aren't, he's still revealing characters that are obviously not going to be starter characters before the game comes out.

Those atleast have some sort of anniversairy or something. Ness is the only possibility.

Brawl revealed a bunch of unlockables on the Dojo well before launch.

Sakurai might have learned his leasson on over hyping games by now.

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

Veterans I feel we could potentially have revealed at E3 are Wario (assuming he's not when MK8 releases the 29th or 30th), Meta Knight (assuming he's not when KTD releases the 2nd or 16th), Falco, Mewtwo (definitely with it's own trailer, welcome back!) and/or Ganondorf. I'm thinking 2 to 3.

Newcomers would be Pac-Man, Mii, Palutena, King K. Rool, Chrom, Ridley and/or Shulk. 2 to 3 newcomers as well.


I'll be pretty shocked if Ridley does get revealed as a playable character but I also still have hope, even if it has depleted.

 

[Luigi#1]

I'm expecting 3 more newcomers. That's it. As much as last time.

 

[GunGunW]

Those atleast have some sort of anniversairy or something. Ness is the only possibility.

Sakurai might have learned his leasson on over hyping games by now.

I guess for the most part, but what about Lucario, Marth, and Toon Link?

 

[NocturnalQuill]

Brawl revealed a bunch of unlockables on the Dojo well before launch.

The only unlockables that were revealed pre-launch were Snake and Sonic, for obvious marketing/hype reasons

 

[Gunla]

To US audiences, the entire roster was revealed on the website by release day. For Japan, not, but it still clear that the US wasn't saved any real spoiler. They were just there, and by that time, unless you shielded yourself from the internet, you were likely spoiled.
Heck, the intro of the game revealed some unlockables pre-Japan release.

 

[Rockaphin]

For E3, I'm expecting a similar newcomer format to last year's E3. 2 popular newcomers and and 1 unexpected newcomer. While I think there will be 1 or 2 veterans shown. Who knows, maybe they'll reveal most of the cast because of the 3DS release soon.

By "pre-release", I mean before the Japanese release. There was no point in keeping it secret anymore. SSB4 is probably going to release internationally.

Brawl's anniversary, only exception, and Wind Waker HD.
