Why do people even give a damn about making sure The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and Super Mario Bros. are on par each other?

stupid made up BS where ppl think there needs to be some sort of uniformity with the roster. a concept that frankly didnt exist till Brawl and can be debated really.

Same thing on my end. That alone gave me one less character to be concerned about, especially after all the bashing that I've received for supporting her.

It's a great feeling when your wanted character everyone bash and moan about how they are "so unlikely" actually end up making it into the game after all. It was great when I got the last laugh when everyone bashed Toon Link and how he couldn't make it into Brawl because "he is too cartoony for Smash" or with Smash 4 and "Muh Spirit Train Stage" and all that trash talk only for them to be completely wrong in the end. =p Loving Rosalina too, can't wait to try her out. :)

I think the releases of the anniversary edition and 3DS ambassador only makes the option more open to Sakurai.

That's what I think makes him more likely, and the people who work with Zelda seem to like him if they did this to those two games.

I think it's because Zelda and Pokemon having more slots than Mario seems a little unrealistic, although I wouldn't mind having 10 Zelda characters, 8 Pokemon, and 6 Mario.

Well too bad for people that Pokemon inherently has a lot of possibilities to choose from by default, due to the series being inherently an extremely healthy series for character choices, and as such it shows. Pokemon will always be the dominate series in terms of numbers no matter what because of that factor.

Zelda will either stay at Link, Zelda/Sheik, Ganondorf, and Toon Link, or it will get a newcomer without Sheik getting removed. There is no reason Sheik and Impa can't co-exist. Impa probably has the highest shot of getting in, followed by Toon Zelda and then misc character (Vaati, Debbie, Tingle, the Salesman).

Vaati also isn't as important as people think, he was the villain of handheld titles that weren't even developed by Nintendo (Capcom made them).

Too many Sheikahs?
Then cut Sheik. Her body is more male than female anyway, so it isn't fun to look at.

100% agreed, except on Wonder Red. no new Zelda, using the time to make more interesting and requested characters is the better option.

Wonder Red arguably is in the top 5 most unique potential newcomers. But to each his own. It's just my opinion on the matter.

4 Zeldas is NOT okay in my book, and if Rosalina can make it in, Impa can and should. Especially if there's gonna be a 6th Mario character, whoever it may be.

And I really don't think the 3DS ambassador game has much to do with chances for Smash Bros.
Click to expand...
Except Rosalina offers something nobody else does while Impa is essentially represented by Sheik. I fail to see how Impa can be made different enough to differ from the cast, especially when Sheik covers the "ninja" thing quite well.

The way I see it, swordsmen have to have something that strikes Sakurai's fancy. Impa, imo, would be abysmally represented if she is given a sword, and I see no reason to give her attacks with deku nuts, etc... when she should be able to have a moveset without dipping into misc. items.

As if Luma didn't already signify it, Starfy is now disconfirmed. Little sucker's an Assist again.

Oh man, if Isaac is confirmed for an Assist Trophy again, I know several people here that are going to be really upset and confused. You know, kind of like 2008.

Oh booooooooy, Assist Trophies are going to be kind of painful for some.

Young Horsetail's reaction is not going to be good...

Seriously, I really hope he gets someone he wants. It would suck to have none of your choices get in.

Speak for yourself; only one of my choices doesn't have something against them, and it's merely a returning Melee character that a majority wants.

I still suck it up and move on. Horse should do the same.

Apparently.

I keep warning people that the whole Assist Trophy thing is more of a stigma then an honor, but people ignore it and continue to press on. Which I have a strong feeling it's going to really sting when their hopes are defied again, similar to 2008.

Well it looks like the first major character de-confirmation happened. My condolences to any Starfy fans out there.

The first major disconfirmation was Toad. Starfy would be the second.

Now Saturn and I are equal with Nintendog and Starfy being ATs at least.
Click to expand...
Then again, Starfy had a lot more potential and chance of making the roster comparing to Nintendogs. I dunno how or why you even thought Nintendogs would even make the Smash roster to begin with.

Sucks that Starfy made AT, but at least he made the game.

Same here though pretty much.
