Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Oniric Spriter]

That's funny.
Considering that the very same statue in this picture appeared in Chapter 20 of Kid Icarus Uprising, Palutena's Temple.

Sorry that it's small, but if you look you can see that the statue with wings is there. Also Palutena.
Palutena and a statue of Palutena can coexist.
The end.

Soooo... Palutena disconfirmed for Uprising? Too bad

 

[Autumn ♫]

Wait, people are thinking the statue deconfirms Palutena? Wow, that's the worst one I've heard yet.

 

[Hotfeet444]

Palutena is now suffering Pyrosphere syndrome...this is going to be a painful couple of months until they're both eventually revealed.

 

[the smash nerd]

Guys, would you want this megaman in?

No!

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

No Nintendo direct announcement so far..
Nintendo does have that meeting tomorrow, but I doubt it will reveal a Smash character.

Even if a Nintendo Direct was scheduled for tomorrow, what are the odds of seeing two characters being revealed in one day? Tomorrow is the Ice Climber anniversary for Japan after all.

 

[Gunla]

Here's a comparison I made:

Better Skyworld Stage Confirmed!

 

[BluePikmin11]

That's a pretty damn low to have two characters revealed.
Though, I would love for Ice Climbers to come back, we'll have to see what happens tomorrow. I think veterans will be revealed more frequently, maybe 2-3 veterans a month.

 

[NickerBocker]

Wait, did people actually think Palutena was deconfirmed due to the statue? I thought it was joke...

I WISH.
See Miiverse.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I WISH.
See Miiverse.

I was there earlier today and left a picture of Krystal...and my God it's a mess.

Krystal always starts problem's.

You mean that Miiverse doesn't always look like a mess Oo

 

[Hotfeet444]

Krystal always starts problem's.

Yesterday made that pretty clear, although it was like that before I even published anything.

Well, surprisingly, through my artwork, I've found a few diamonds in the rough. But aside from that, yes, it's always a mess.

 

[DarkStarStorm]

Dear Game Theory,

Thank you so much for spreading that ******** "theory" about Link being dead in Majora's Mask. I'm so glad I have to hear about it any time I talk to any "know-it-all" Zelda fan, who swear on it as if it were the Old Testament. Seeing this stupid video being posted literally everywhere and touted as truth makes my days sunnier and, in general, has made my life better.

Your "friend", UltimateWario

P.S.: Watch your back, I will kill you slowly.

Krillout dude.

 

[SchAlternate]

Among all the stupid fallacies people tend to believe in when it comes to Smash speculation, Palutena being deconfirmed by a statue of herself has got to be the most irrational and least thought out one I've heard so far.

Please refrain yourself from proving me wrong. My brain can handle so much idiocy at once.

 

[UltimateWario]

Are we still talking about this?

 

[Tepig2000]

Are we still talking about this?

Yes. 'Cause we don't have anything to talk about.

 

[Chandeelure]

This is obviously the Palutena year.

 

[UltimateWario]

Let's talk about Toon Link being on Spirit Train is okay with Toon Link being playable, but Clone Ridley on Pyrosphere makes regular Ridley unplayable.

 

[Tepig2000]

No. Let's talk about Fire Emblem.

Edit: I reached 1000 posts!!! Woohoo!!!

 

[Depressed Gengar]

This is obviously the Palutena year.

Nah, still year of Luigi, mate.

No. Let's talk about Fire Emblem.

Edit: I reached 1000 posts!!! Woohoo!!!

Please... don't do this...
Congrats on the 1000 posts though.

 

[UltimateWario]

No. Let's talk about Fire Emblem.

I would rather talk about Pichu...

My GOD the tiny buttons on Mario and Luigi's overalls are SO ANNOYING.

 

[Tepig2000]

I would rather talk about Pichu...

Okay. Pichu sucks. The end.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Pichu is over 9000.

Pichu is over 9000.

But i wanted to hear more about Train Link and Toon Link ((((((

 

[The Light Music Club]

There is one thing more annoying than people on miiverse talking about Palutena being disconfrimed, and that would be that Mario guy who wants the Powerpuff Girls in.

 

[Tepig2000]

Pichu is over 9000.

You must be kidding. There is no way Pichu can have 0,1% of 's power.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

But the Powderpuff Girls are inevitable, like Goku.

Well, while I'm working on some College stuff, I'll leave this here. It's my designs for Ganondorf:

Spoiler

Standard A Combo: Dark Palm (8%) (Same standard A, mixed with dark energy)

Forward + A: Dark Magic Spark (14%) (Holds hand out in front of him, releases small spark of magic, does shock damage)

Up + A: Volcano Kick (27%) (Same as Brawl + Melee upper, start-up time lowered)

Down + A: Cape Sweep: (12%) (Grabs cape with arm, does a sweeping motion with arm)

Dash Attack: Dark Sword (11%) (A dashing attack with his sword, hits hard)

Aerial Attacks:

Neutral A: Darkness Wave (16%) (Releases a burst of darkness around himself)

Forward + A: Guillotine Slash (18%) (Straight Vertical slice with sword)

Up + A: Electric Burst (14%) (Raises hand above head, releases shock magic)

Back + A: Magic Pulse (14%) (Turns around with both hands, shoots out pulse of magic, very short-range projectile)

Down + A: Dark Stomp (22%) (Same attack as Melee and Brawl, now infused with dark magic to have darkness effects)

Smash Attacks:

Forward Smash: Warlock’s Blade (34%) (Heavy-hitting horizontal slice with longsword, hits very hard)

Up Smash: Magic Blast (30%) (Grits fist then does an upper punch, releasing heavy amounts of magic upon contact)

Down Smash: Dark Tremor (28%) (Focuses his magic, causing dark magic to erupt from the ground around him)

Grab/Throws:

Grab: Grab with one hand

Pummel: Knees the opponent (4%)

Forward Throw: Charges his fist with dark energy and punches the opponent away with a burst of dark magic (10%)

Up Throw: Throws the opponent up along with a burst of electric magic (11%)

Down Throw: Smashes the opponent headfirst into the ground (7%)

Back Throw: Grabs the opponent with the end of his sword and flips them over his head, smashing both them and his sword into the ground behind him) (9%)

Special Moves:

Standard Special: Dark Magic (15-30% total) (Throws out a wave of projectiles at once, goes farther depending on time thrown)

Side Special: Flame Choke (11%) (Same as Brawl)

Up Special: Warlock Levitation (Does No Damage, disperses a wave of energy upon finishing) (Floats through the air for a short time, mid-air dodging cancels recovery)

Down Special: Earthquake Fist (13-28% depending on how close you are) (Area effect attack, punches ground to deal damage)

Final Smash: Beast Ganon (Petrify + 45% damage, can instantly kill a majority of the smaller enemies) (Transformation, works the same as in Brawl)

It's something to break away from the Palutena talk.

 

[TumblrFamous]

So... Ganondorf.

Replace this neutral special with the tennis ball of doom and it is perfect.

 

[N3ON]

The moderating staff of the Smash 4 forums have jointly decided that permanently locking this thread is the best course of action. The original intent of this thread was to provide users with a place to reasonably and hopefully rationally discuss the potential outcome of the upcoming Smash 4 roster and the characters that it could be composed of. We feel that due to a multitude of reasons, such as off-topic conversations – often about the state of the thread itself, consistent arguments often over trivial matters or subjects not even topical, flaming and/or harassing other posters, the abundance of posts composed solely of an image, video, or just generally lacking any real content or substance, and overall just not providing an atmosphere conducive for actual discussion and debate, the thread has lost its way and continuing would only prove, if not detrimental, then wasteful of the true potential a thread like this could see.

No sole poster is to blame for the state the thread has found itself in; rather this was a group effort. And a group effort to rectify the level of discussion is the only thing that can bring a thread such as this back to the quality it once was.

In that light the moderators have decided that for the time being this thread will be closed and the creation of a succeeding thread will be suspended. In due time a new thread will be instituted for character discussion, and it will be created by one of the moderators. However until that time arrives, we stress to not create a thread of the same purpose, as it will be locked and the creator could, and likely will receive some form of penalization. At this time we ask you reflect on this thread and how to avoid the same mistakes happening, whether it be exhibiting a cooler head in times of disagreement, displaying better judgment in what actually merits posting (as a post solely composed of a gif, video, meme, or arbitrary off-topic thought does not), and keeping in mind that this thread was not a social thread, and the eventual successor to this thread will not be a social thread; they are threads for discussing the potential characters of Smash 4 and the roster as a whole. With that in mind, when the thread does come, although it will serve largely the same purpose that this one originally aimed for, it will also contain some changes, namely the moderators demonstrating less leniency in the face of matters we do not feel are acceptable in the thread, which are largely made up by, but not limited to, the problems outlined in the first paragraph.

We appreciate the dedication shown to this thread, and hope it will follow in the future, but please remember to be wary of what you are posting; keep this thread’s fate in mind as an example if need be, and while we want you to continue to enjoy posting, without implying everyone here is at fault, don’t be surprised if you find yourself faced with warnings or even infractions if the behaviour this thread wound up being plagued by carries over to the next when it should eventually surface.

Thank you,
The Smash 4 Moderating Staff
