Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[LoneKonWolf]

well if you look in the background you can also see green and red along with blue and black, so they are using multicolored, I don't think double standards matter in this case

That certainly could be the case.

 

[Knight Dude]

Well, to be fair, there are a ton of shy guys.

Not that they were going to happen anyways, but...

Well at least we got to see more of the Rainbow Road stage right? We can see that the moving platform gets swapped for a stationary one. At least for a while.

jungle tribe shy guys

This would need to be a taunt:

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Finally someone got it

Oh, totally, this is actually really cool. Seems like it's going to be a fun stage.

And it will be glorious. Seriously Shy Guy would have a fun moveset. Spear, stilts, lights himself on fire, propeller hat. He's got it all. Too bad he's just a random minion. That gives me an idea for a random roster now. Maybe I'll make it later.

 

[YoshiandToad]

Shy Guy is best video game character. Come at me.

You jinxed it.

Well I'll be fine with any disconfirmation really, why don't you guys make a list of characters you honestly like to see deconfirmed?

Takamaru
Chrom
Lucina
Chrom AND Lucina as a pair
Plusle and Minun
Toon Sheik
At least one of the Smashboards Elite Four. I don't care which, but I don't want all four on the roster.

I'm cool with anyone else. Like literally anyone else now the Mario characters already been selected. Unfortunately for me, my list of dislikes are also the some of the ones with some of the best chances.

Also Smash needs more monsters and old people.

Why not both?

I bet you all thought it'd be Toadsworth for a moment there, didn't ya?

See guys, this why fangirls had taken over the Super Smash Bros. fanbase. Everything was fine until cerulean prettyboy Marth and fiery redhead Roy came along. Imagine how much worse it would be if Isaac or Chrom join the fray.

Link and Pit would still be a thing. Or Pokemon Trainer X Lucas. Or one of the young Links X Link(Self ship?). They'd also turn the Mother boys into pretty pretty boys. The fangirls will persist. Not even Wario, Bowser or Ganondorf can escape bishiefication.

What would be your reaction if Kiddy Kong was playable, instead of King K. Rool and Dixie?

Someone at Nintendo cares about Kiddy?

Also Lanky is a better unlikely Kong plz.

 

[Baskerville]

Smashboards Elite Four? Did this suddenly turn into Pokemon or some ****?

Seriously your first time hearing this? It's a term that's been used to describe the collective of K. Rool, Ridley, Palutena and Little Mac as the four best newcomers according to Smashboards. Sometimes Mewtwo is placed as the 'champion' aka the character people want the most.

No, there's no Gym Leader ranks before anyone ****ing asks. But I bet Takamaru would be one of the higher ranking ones.

First time hearing this, too.

Surprised that Roy's not a gym leader, seeing how much people talk about him.

I wonder who the villainous team consists of...
Maybe characters like Pichu and Toad.

Wow, I'm honestly surprised. I heard it on Rate Their Chances first and I've seen it around a bit too.

Villainous team you say? Hmmm...maybe some of the dark horse candidates, like Roy or Robin. Rosalina would of counted as one prior to her reveal I suppose.

Wait...
ROy
RObin
ROsalina.

...

ROcket?!?

Since when were you Oasis 2.0? And I might join GameFaqs soon, just to see that community.

On topic, though, I would love to not see Palutena. People just assume that the fact that her series was revived by Sakurai that she'll be in, when she's really the brainchild of Miyamoto. Why don't we add a second Pikmin character and cut Diddy and Wario while we're at it. But srsly, her chances are way overhyped, especially the fact that we already have two magic girls on the roster.

 

[YoshiandToad]

Wow. I hope the two things here are unrelated or I'm going to feel genuinely bad for pushing Smashboarders far enough to make them curious about GameFAQS Smash scene.

I sort of agree people are a little too hopeful for Palutena though. Speaking from someone who is mostly indifferent to secondary KI characters inclusion, is there a reason she is the defacto second KI choice?

 

[Gunla]

Well, to be fair, there are a ton of shy guys.

Not that they were going to happen anyways, but...

NO, NOT THIS AGAIN. NO!!!!!!!!!

 

[Depressed Gengar]

What's going on?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

What's going on?

For one thing, Shy Guy got hit hard today, thanks to the stage hazard confirmation that it received.

Don't worry, you didn't drive me away. If anything, it was Saturn.

Ironically, yesterday I said I wanted Shy Guy deconfirmed. 0-0

Sometimes, coincidence can happen just like that.

 

[Starcutter]

We really should have seen this happening.

 

[Berserker.]

Roy is the guy with red hair, right?

And the blade that's burning and all?

And the one that Marth's a clone of?

Roy Koopa: Move over sword boy! I'm taking over this battle!

[Scoliosis Jones]

Oh that's fine and all, just will never understand Chrom of all people.

Don't get me wrong. I am on the Ike train now. Chrom has hardly much potential to be much else than a clone/mix.

I just like Chrom I guess. Character wise I suppose he is rather bland. Ike is by far the better lord, as he is developed more and is actually pretty intense.

Although I think Path of Radiance is overall the better game. I like the story and many of the characters better than Awakening by far.

I will say though, that if done properly, a tag team of Chrom + Robin or Lucina would be pretty cool.

 

[Arcadenik]

I don't want Chrom to be in a tag team with Robin or Lucina. I want him solo.

I would rather have the Wandering Heroes from StreetPass Mii Plaza if we have to have a tag team of sword fighters.

 

[BluePikmin11]

It would be cool if we could be able to have a Mii tag-team in terms of Mii customization.

 

[AncientTobacco]

It would be cool if Miis weren't in the game.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I think Mii's are a sure thing for Smash 4. Granted, I don't necessarily think they're a good idea because I think it should be focused more on Nintendo characters themselves. But that's just my opinion.

 

[AncientTobacco]

Just include the Mii Mask for Villager if you have to put those abominations in the game in some form.

 

[Arcadenik]

Like it or not, Miis are Nintendo characters.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Like it or not, Miis are Nintendo characters.

True, but they aren't the ones I am referring to.

I'm referring to the real characters. I want to see K.Rool or Ridley added. Or Shulk or Palutena. If I see Mii's get in and nothing from the more popular characters, then there is something wrong.

I understand the historical impact of Mii's and everything. But for a fighting game, I just don't see the appeal of them compared to the real Nintendo All-Star characters.

 

[Morbi]

Like it or not, Miis are Nintendo characters.

People were bound to not like some of the ideal choices. Everyone expects that Sakurai loads the roster with characters they like with the justification being, "hey, a lot of other people like muh character too."
