I guess people would think that Charizard is fairly disposable due to the whole Red situation.

Personally I don't care ether way, but whatever.

Aww, I missed some Roy talk before...
Only you would miss that. Even at it's best, Roy talk is still pretty boring. But I mean, duh.

Alright, this is a win-win for me then!

Toss in Chrom to the mix and we've got a deal my friend.
After all is said and done, two lone bodies will remain. Shorts and Caeda. Who promptly walk into Smash4. Shorts becoming creative director of Smash5.

Aww man. I'm utterly confused as to what's going on in this thread again...

Btw, has anyone considered Prince Haru for Smash?
[collapse=Or will he just be a Peach clone?]

It's hard to talk about Roy considering he's a shoddy Marth knockoff with tacky fire effects.
Exactly. Something Chrono would like us all to forget while he bashes every other possible character choice.

It is... weird. Unlike any roster I've seen.

Has some... questionable choices. No Mewtwo, no Roy, no Ike, no Wolf and no Ridley, yet has Dark Pit and keeps Sheik and Jigglypuff... my mind is wobbling.

Who's the girl below Chrom? I know she's a FE:A character, as per the artstyle, but still. Is she Sumia?
From Awakening, only Chrom and the Avatar have a chance.

But overall, the cons outweigh the pros... so no. This won't do it for me.
But is my roster satsifactory? :) :awesome:

"Who's Takamaru?" - Everyone except for some Japanese people.

I don't know who Takamaru is either. So I searched up "Takamaru" on Images, and I got this weird bird from Naruto...

Oh all seventeen of them?
yes all 17 of them. just like the amount of people who would buy smash 4 obviously on that system.

i aint gonna start a fight. just saying that seeing as this game is coming to the Wii U, and a lot of the Wii U's are sold with Nintendo Land, it's fair to say people are smart enough to connect the dots

No, I said "lower speed or power by inflicting a curse/spell", not "sap the opponents health with a poison-esque gimmick".

For a character for the former, I could see some sort of mischievous character with access to evil/dark powers akin to something like King Boo or Zoroark doing it. For the latter, something along the lines of Lip or Medusa.
How about Toad? He could use mushrooms.

Poison Mushroom = shrinks opponents
Reverse Mushroom = scrambles opponents' directions
Slow Mushroom = based on Slow 'Shroom Orb in Mario Party 6, slows opponents down (similar to Timer's effects)
Volt Mushroom = based on Volt Shroom from Paper Mario, shocks opponents

"Hey isn't there an attraction in Nintendoland called Takamaru's Ninja Castle?" - Most Wii U owners
Hey, this character doesn't look like a cardboard cut out of a generic ninja!

I feel like I was jipped.

Don't Miis dress up as Takamaru when they enter Takamaru's Ninja Castle attraction?

Considering the game is set in an amusement park, no crap you were going to get the cheap budget version of the Nintendo franchises.

Yes, complete with the ridiculous hair.

If that's the case... then surely people would at least recognize Takamaru's clothes, sword, and hairstyle from Nintendo Land even if they didn't know who is Takamaru when he shows up in SSB4... right? Right?

Replace the word "Takamaru" with "Marth" and you'd remember the early years of Melee all over again.
The difference is Fire Emblem games have been coming out all these years, while Takamaru hasn't had a real game since the NES

Two more months. I am really excited about SSB4 at E3... I hope the trailer is something epic! As for the newcomers, I expect to see:

- at least one Mario newcomer (Toad, please)
- at least one Donkey Kong newcomer (either King K. Rool or Dixie Kong)
- at least one Zelda newcomer (could be Toon Zelda, could be Impa, could be Ghirahim, who knows?)
- at least one Pokemon newcomer besides Mewtwo (could be Zoroark, could be Pokemon Trainer Gold, could even be Meowth, who knows?)
- at least one Fire Emblem newcomer (Chrom, please)
- at least one Kid Icarus newcomer (Palutena or Medusa or even Magnus, please no Dark Pit)
- at least one retro newcomer (pretty certain it's Takamaru)
- Mii (pretty sure they are getting in this time)
- Little Mac (yes, I am very confident he will get in Smash this time)
- at least one third-party newcomer (Mega Man or Pac-Man, please)

All of this and still no Ridley. :(

Great, now this thread made me remember Monster Rancher and Medabots in the same day.
Nostalgia....

I'm expecting:

- 1 Donkey Kong Newcomer (Dixie or K. Rool)
- 1 Pokemon Newcomer (Mewtwo counting as a "newcomer")
- Ridley (No other Metroid character seems that likely)
- 1 Fire Emblem Newcomer (Chrom, Roy, Lyn, someone)
- 1 Kid Icarus Newcomer (Palutena or Medusa)
- Little Mac
- Second Smaller Fanchise Newcomer (Shulk, Isaac, Saki)
- 1 Retro Newcomer

- 4 - 7 more newcomers
