My FE character would be Seth. Because Seth is a boss.

See, personally I haven't really seen anything that makes Anna stand out. Meanwhile, I've seen ideas, movesets, and other stuff that make Lyn an interesting and unique character.
Oh.

Well, Anna is a Trickster, which gives her a unique sword fighting style seen in Awakening that makes use of holding the sword upside down and doing multiple side flips in the air.

It also allows her to make use of Fire Emblem's library of staves; perhaps she could use Ward or Rescue as Special Moves, not to mention skills obtained through the Thief class line, such as Lethality as a potential Final Smash.

You might even be able to do something with the fact that she has countless identical sisters. Maybe something akin to the Double Cherry from Mario 3D World?

Just some things that came to mind immediately.

See, these are good as basic ideas. What I'm looking for more of is a playstyle.

I could probably do it, but since it's not Chrom or Avatar, I don't think I care enough to. Even so, I think it's as much of, if not MORE of, any potential basis as one could make for Lyn by comparison.

and err...

Actually Duck Hunt's the only retro IP I have any experience with now that Ice Climbers and Pit are already in Smash and Little Mac no longer counts as a retro. I guess I'd side with Lip, purely because she's not Takamaru.

Hakkun looks interesting, but I'm really clueless about what he can do.
Where is this picture from ? Actually, I didn't even know that Duck Hunt was Nintendo's IP. Did we had trophies and/or stickers of him in brawl ?

Hakkun can have a gameplay based on colors and cubes, as in his game, he had to suck with his weird nose, color and cubes to complete levels. It's up to Sakurai wether he want to create an unique gameplay or a basic one.
Here a 2 minutes video showing the first levels of his game : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU3uWnRCRH8

Fire Emblem wise, I think they should just leave it as Marth and Ike - the series doesn't need more representation really. Or maybe they could bring Roy back as well so they can appease a lot of fans while still not having to put much effort into it.

As long as we keep Ike, I'm fine with pretty much any Fire Emblem choice. Lyn included. But if Roy came back and was guaranteed to be more original than before, then perhaps I would prefer him to be chosen. But that's a pretty big if anyhow.

I really hope Sakurai confirms another character we deemed "unlikely" just to mess up your predictions.

Maybe a giant Labrador Retriever Nintendog? :troll:

Or some commonly "cut veteran" like Snake or Lucario.
Or some commonly reviled newcomer like Impa or Pac-Man. :troll:

So basically no variety, no uniqueness or change from the previous games? Seems legit


and for the love of arceus, can someone tell me why people keep listing mewtwo as a NEWcomer



P.S blaziken should be playable by itself and I'm not even a blaziken fan (sceptile ftw ). Pokemon needs a diverse roster of unexpectedness
Personally, I would like it if they unexpectedly added Pokemon Trainer May with Mudkip, Grovyle, and Blaziken... or Team Rocket with Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing... or Zoroark... or anyone who is not a Pokemon veteran.

Some people here still thinks Sakurai is predictable.
They say "put this in your roster, replace this, quit this" .
All the rosters here look like the same.
You need to understand that Sakurai is unpredictable (but this obviously doesn't mean you have to add Goku to your roster).
LOL
I still remember when all the rosters here had Bowser Jr. XD

Yeah... the only newcomer we collectively predicted was Mega Man... and he isn't even a Nintendo character.

Let's just add random crap to the rosters, then.

Goomba King, Valoo, and Dusknoir for Smash.

Silly me, I forgot feminism is a franchise. :awesome: The black and white colors make me think it's some sort of White Nationalist feminist symbol or some weird thing like that.

Still, I'm sure there will be a few characters we can accurately predict. Like, I'm sure we will at least get one or two of Little Mac, Mewtwo, Palutena, Ridley, and a DK rep.

I would say that Little Mac, Mewtwo, Palutena, and a DK rep are locks for me.
Ridley I'm still on and off about, but I always keep him on my roster anyway.

Actually, I was one of the only ones to have Rosalina in my roster. This is the achievement of my life, and one day I'll tell my children "Y'know, one day I predicted Sakurai" and the will be fascinated .

Goku is an example of an impossible character...
By Goku I mean all the stupid and impossible characters like him , Shadow, Shrek, Para-Goomba or I don't know... Kraid XD

Not the Goku from Yūyūki. :awesome:

When the next few newcomers are revealed, I'll say I predicted them all along so I can feel better about myself.
