No funnier than you asking the one guy staying on topic to leave. That's beyond hilarious. XD
Chitter-chatter like this is not staying on topic. You're as guilty as everyone else.

Predicting what date someone who's already on the roster will be shown to the public is not the same as predicting if they will be on the roster.
"Predicting what date someone who's already on the roster will be shown to the public"

Until they're revealed, they aren't officially on the roster (which is why cuts from the previous game are possible). I have no idea why you think otherwise. We currently have 17 characters on the roster, 3 of which are newcomers. No more, no less.

I think the Pokemon X and Pokemon Y fiasco should be the first hint that not every release is going to have a character reveal correlation.

Gormanbros has already posed this question, but I will repeat it in the case nobody paid attention.


Why are there suddenly predictions for Ness to be revealed this month? I'm keenly well-aware there was a fake leak from Reddit, as well as frequent requests on Miiverse, but why the sudden small-tide surge for this particular month?

Good question. I think Lucas will definitely be revealed before Ness, but if Ness is alone for some weird reason, he should be next year or something.

I think Lucas should get new specials or GET OUT! But with Toon Link revealed possibly unchanged... I am not sure if we'll get quality cuts.

Saturn is always debating with someone.
It doesn't mean he doesn't like them or he means to insult them.
For example, we have very different views, but he's one of my best friends on the blog.
See? No one didn't have to insult the floppy disk to get him ranting. All we had to do was state our opinions that he disagrees with to get him ranting. :troll:

Why don't we talk about who is going to be a starter and who is going to be an unlockable?

Cutting a character because of the move set? Is playing as your favorite Nintendo All-Star no longer the point of this game? I swear people would rather have a roster of salami sandwhiches if they all had their own moves.

I don't see much need to change his specials. They work very differently from Ness'. Anyhow, I think PK Ground should replace PK Fire, but other than that, I like it as is and would label him his own character.

I don't know about All-Star. Wasn't Mother 3 a flop and only released in Japan.

Why are specials all that matter? Lucas is already a unique character from Ness. His specials work differently, and everything else is completely unique.
I really just don't see what Lucas brings to the game. Ness brought an array of odd specials that were fun and creative. But I am just channeling my inner-crabbiness.

Lucas brought the same thing Ike did and Chrom would: The recent protagonist

It wasn't a flop, but IIRC it wasn't well received there like it was here. I know the fan translator Tomato posted some notes from Japanese fans about that, so I'll have to look for it.

Edit: Here we go: http://earthboundcentral.com/2013/04/mother-3-and-japanese-fans-revisited/

Having said that, if Lucas made it in regardless of that reception then I don't think he'll be removed anytime soon, especially since the Western fans like him.

Ike did bring new things. Like an Up B with invincible frames, super-powered smashes on par with Snake and DeDeDe, and extreme range.

I am not sure what Chrom could bring in terms of gameplay.

So Ike is a valuable character while Lucas is not because he has an Up B with invincibility frames (Since Dedede covers the rest of that)?
