Unfortunately, Roy's reverse hitbox mechanic hinders him in the long run. He also has various properties that don't do him favour as well. But yeah, Marth is ultimately far superior than Roy.

Roy coexisted peacefully with Marth in Melee, and almost did again in Brawl. Who's to say Marth and Roy can't coexist in Smash 4?

And, I really don't see Marth being cut any time soon. It's fine if people don't like or support certain characters. However, a big part of speculating is trying to form unbiased speculations as much as possible; take all the facts/evidence for and against a newcomer and try to come up with educated guesses. That is, if you're being serious and all. =P

I have a feeling Fire Emblem isn't as huge as people make it out to be... I mean I consider the following:

1.- Not represented in the trailer when all the "cool kids" franchises were being shown. So it tells me... not in the league of Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, etc.

2.-, and most importantly... Nintendo was actually going to stop producing FE titles if Awakening didn't sell well... At this point it's when it struck me.



But, it's good to see Awakening sold well (planning on getting it as soon as I get a 3DS) and the franchise didn't get discontinued.
I wouldn't wish discontinuation on ANY franchise.

I think it's big enough to deserve a 3rd roster spot at least XD

Hey guys! How do yall like my new roster?

Chrom and Lucina can be changed if Sakarai doesn't fix the Ice Climber's soon enough.
That almost identical to mine just the following and its mine

First get rid of chrom and lucine toon link Dixie kong and vaati and either Ike or Roy

Second replace toad with bowser jr

Third replace paluntia with Magnus
(I'm not saying paluntia because of pits final smash with her in Titan size so how can pit get that final smash if she's playable unless you have a good replacement final smash nevermind on this switch)

Forth (plausible to happen) replace lucario with either zoroark or genesect
(remember genesect fits the bill acording to the story about how pokemon are chosen for ssb and genesect would fit the bill and it would be the extreme speed one since that one would have the moves side B blaze kick up B extreme speed different from lucarios changes to UFO form goes slight longer and does damage to every one touched normal B techno blast down B either shift gears or switch chips)

Fifth (this is not likly but only saying because of being possible) replace snake with pacman

(Pacman because namco bandai is helping sakurai and because he has a new adventure coming out for the wii u in 2013 I think and lastly fan request because of = dream battle (megaman vs sonic vs pacman vs Mario)
(And as for snake if the creator of him wants him in again he's fine and if snake gets in never mind on pacman replacing snake)

And you would match mine

Ps can someone explain to me how shulk takamaru and paluntia is possible

Pss I think mew twos down B is going to be form change psywave his signature move defiantly going to be his final smash and everyone fails to notice this but in the second mew two movie used psywave on Giovanni when Giovanni thought he successfully defeated mew two for revenge.

It's funny that in both trailers for Brawl and Smash 4 a FE stage was shown. So there's always that to think about... But I can see Sakurai trying to include 3 FE characters this time around, perhaps going back to what he almost accomplished in Brawl. ;)

Heh.. well if STAR FOX gets 3, I don't see why Fire Emblem can't (as long as it brings variety).

--

On another note.. And this is something I was thinking like a week ago. Why are there people saying Kid Icarus is a "Sakurai" franchise? Gunpei Yokoi clearly came up with it. Sakurai is as much owner of KI as Retro or Team Ninja is of Metroid, or Namco for Star Fox, or Rare for DKC... you get the idea. XD

I honestly don't think the awakened form should be given shiek treatment because it wouldn't really have a different enough playstyle. It would practically be like Captain Falcon turning into Brawl style ganondorf as a Down B XD

We could just end up getting Marth & Ike with no new reps
Sakurai: I was going to ask IS who I should add next to the roster to keep it all fresh and stuff but I decided Omastar is more important man! People like Ike right? Well they can have him then he's relevant right?

Are you trying to say Ike is not relevant and shouldn't be in SSB?

People wouldn't really care if it was Marth & Ike again.
Most rosters just have Chrom, and he's not very essential. I however think we need more characters and would be upset if we didn't have more. But, as long as we have Ike...................

Ike isn't that relevant any more true but my point is it would probably be a smarter idea to get someone more relevant first then just settling for Marth and some guy that isn't really important. Ike seems like a sort of lame place to settle at. It would be like if brawl only had Pikachu and Jiggs as the only pokemon reps. Pikachu? YES! Jiggs fair enough but you need to add more important guys as well to justify him!

We don't need Chrom, especially if he's going to be the poor mans successor to Ike. But people are unusually persistent with the idea of including Chrom, it's very odd.

Personally I'd prefer My Unit to be playable just because the other weapon types in fire emblem are underrepresented MAGIC! Just... MAGIC!

I'm sorry, Ike is the second most popular lord of all. Are you seriously suggesting we replace him with someone less unique than he is, and also less popular. I hate it when people insist we remove the most important and deserving characters for the latest game's character, regarldess who it is! Like Dixie over King K. Rool. So annoying!

Sometimes the more important ones aren't the ones that came out last year. Thank you.

I am not seriously suggesting he should be replaced I am suggesting we add someone "less unique then he is, and also less popular" next to him on the roster -_-

If I didn't hate MU's guts, I'd probably support him/her as much as I do Chrom and Lyn.
And yes, I hate (my character) me.

Would you care to explain why? I recall you thinking he ruined the plot (or was that some one else?) or whatever but could you expand on that? :p

Palutena is more unique, requested, recurring, and important to Kid Icarus than Magnus. She is the Zelda of the game. Magnus is no better than another Ike with a bigger sword, and we have enough swordsmen. He also didn't play a huge role in Kid Icarus. He's more of an Assist Trophy.

Sakurai already stated Namco characters are not getting any special treatment. And if Snake is not present I think Bomberman would take his place.

Why Takamaru is possible: She is one of the most classic Famicom games in Japan and Western gamers recognize him. Why is he not possible?

This is how Palutena is possible:

Palutena has mentioned several times that she is NOT all knowing and NOT all powerful. So how does she not work?

Shulk? How does he not work? Please explain.

Ike is not going anywhere, he is the most popular lord of all (not counting Marth.)

As for Mewtwo, it has not been confirmed how Mewtwo becomes his awakened form. It's like assuming Mew can change into Mewtwo on command. Not to mention Mewtwo's new form probably isn't going to be unique enough from his normal form to warrant him his own interchangeable character.

Sure. (But that wasn't me; While I couldn't care less about MU, he is a pretty important part of the plot)
I just don't like him/her/it.
Probably cause he/she/it has some of the worst supports in the game, in my humble, flawed, stupid opinion.

I want you to know that that's one of the most abysmal rosters I've ever seen.

EDIT: Woops, didn't realize this was the display thread. Disregard post.
That roster is so absurd that I quickly responded to it before I've realized this is display thread.

But oh well, I'm sure mods will delete our posts here like usual.

I would like to mention another thing, this is PREDICTION thread, meaning that, nobody should have guessed less number than Brawl right.
