Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Arcadenik]

While we have some sort of idea of how veterans will be shown, we still have no idea how newcomers are going to be revealed. I think it's kinda strange.

I mean, while it's nice to see Luigi in HD, I want to see characters that will get me hyped. I want to see something new. It's not like anybody thought Luigi wouldn't make it.

Really at this point, I just want to see any character that might be on the chopping block get revealed (Lucario, Ike, etc...) or a new guy. But if we go off the pattern that may exist, we probably won't see that anytime soon.

They are probably saving the newcomers for E3 2014... or at least a couple months before E3 2014.

June 2013 - E3 2013 (Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Bowser, Pit, Villager, Mega Man, Wii Fit Trainer)
July 2013 - Pikmin 3 (Olimar)
August 2013 - Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (Luigi)

September 2013 - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Zelda)
October 2013 - Pokémon X & Y (???)
November 2013 - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Diddy Kong)
December 2013 - Super Mario 3D World (Peach)

January 2014 - ???
February 2014 - ???
March 2014 - ???
April 2014 - ???
May 2014 - ???
June 2014 - E3 2014

Also, remember that Yoshi's New Island, Mario Kart 8, and X are planned to come out in 2014... so we might see Yoshi, Toad, and Shulk.

 

[Arcanir]

But watch as we later get a MegaZoroark as a three way deadlock to mess everything up.

Quiet you! We do not want another Pokemon war!

Hmm..

I agree with the one who theorized that we could eventually end up with TWO character reveals per month, if we want to get the Veterans out of the way, and at some point have all or at least the starter Newcomers revealed.

We're talking about at least 45 characters, from which we only have 14.

1 every month is 24 characters in two years. Veterans alone make 35 give or take.
Someone's gotta step up the pace.

Blaziken is already the lightest starter evolution so far (just an ounce or so lighter than Sceptile, in close second), so I guess there's no need. xP

So far, Mega Evolution has only made Mewtwo smaller and lighter.

It made Lucario bigger and heavier, and Blaziken has no change.

Mega Evolution is so weird.
Wonder what height and weight changes are for Mawile, Ampharos, and Absol.

One last character reaction question from me. If it turned out that either Captain Syrup or Mona from Wario Ware became playable, how would you react?

I'd be happy that it wasn't Ashley.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Well, I think I know what Pikachu's Mega form is.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Quiet you! We do not want another Pokemon war!

Let's have a Fire Emblem war instead then.

My reaction?

 

[YoshiandToad]

I've always kind of liked Syrup; I particularly liked her involvment in Shake It so I wouldn't be too mad with her. Surprised, yes. Maybe even a little pleased. Maybe.

Mona I'd probably be fine with too at a push, but I'd rather Waluigi got in from Mario Bros. spinoff extended family before another Wario Ware character.(Yes I know he's not related to any Wario game, but come on; he really should be.)

 

[Arcadenik]

There is that... but if they keep showing one character per month, we could end up with 23 characters before E3 2014.

June 2013 - 12 characters (9 veterans, 3 newcomers)
July 2013 to December 2013 - 6 characters (2 veterans, 4 unknown), total of 18 characters by end of 2013
January 2014 to May 2014 - 5 characters (5 unknown), total of 23 characters before E3 2014

Considering a possible 45-character roster... and assuming Mega Man is unlockable, I think 22 is a reasonable number of characters for a starting roster. It just means we have 23 unlockable characters.

To be fair, war has already broken out. The Jiggly War, I should say.

 

[shinhed-echi]

Well I'd react quite well, actually! Probably the second lady I would main outside Samus (and.. well, Peach in Melee, but she's my perma-main there only).

Would love to see how a Wario/Mario version of pirate equipment would work for her. That and attacking with her minions would be pretty cool.

Ashley/Mona, eh.. Nah you can't go wrong with lady pirates, especially this one.

 

[Arcanir]

True, but we do not want two at the same time, the Lucario wars may be over now and now you're fanning the flames of another!

Let's have a Fire Emblem war instead then.

Oh sweet Naga, no...

 

[FlareHabanero]

Oh sweet Naga, no...

Oh sweet Naga, yes! Sigurd demands sacrifices, and what Sigurd wants Sigurd gets!

I'd like that.

*sacrifices to Valflame* Smite the sower of sorrow, smite him I say!

MegaBlaziken is best FE Lord.

 

[Gune]

MegaRoy better hit the scene.

 

[FlareHabanero]

MegaBlaziken is best FE Lord.

No, me and John agreed that Landmaster is best Lord.

MegaBlaziken is a good Lord too.

 

[Deleted member]

Well, I think I know what Pikachu's Mega form is.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

MegaBlaziken is a good Lord too.

I actually would like to see an armored Blaziken or MegaBlaziken, with a sword even.

Thar'd look pretty epic, at least I think so.

Kinda like this?

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Kinda like this?

A mixture of several Pokemon forming armor and weapons around Blaziken, depending on the type, sounds pretty cool actually.

I only thought of the armored Blaziken after I saw something qdMbp compared the Mega Blaziken to on the Smash 4 social thread.

 

[mimgrim]

Inb4fusionevolution.

 

[Gune]

Inb4fusionevolution.

that already technically exist.

 

[Arcanir]

Inb4fusionevolution.

Why hello there.

[Deleted member]

Still waiting for a real Venustoise.

 

[mimgrim]

Ermm since when? I don't recall there ever being a time in a Pokemon game where to Pokemon fusing together to evolve. e_e

Why hello there.

Edit: Ninja'd

If you are refrencing Black and Whit Kyurem aren't those form changes and not evoltuions? Since when is a different form a evolution? ._. But then again I never played BW2, all I know is the Serebii lists them as new forms and not evolutions. e_e

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Swampasaur and Oppossum are the ones who said the roster was finalized in February, I simply took their word for it because that's what everybody said.

Well, yeah since it's still the same Pokemon. It still used Fusions so I just went with it, sorry for any confusion.

 

[Gune]

Thats why I said technically, lets take a look at my second favorite steel type...

Metagross is the result of two Metang achieving fusion. When hunting, this Pokémon pins the prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using the large mouth on its stomach. same with metang.

When two Beldum fuse together, Metang is formed. The brains of the Beldum are joined by a magnetic nervous system. By linking its brains magnetically, this Pokémon generates strong psychokinetic power. now its not a game mechanic but it is cannon.

 

[3Bismyname]

not gonna lie, fusion evolution could be pretty cool.

 

[Gune]

Also Hope theres a MegaMetagross.

 

[PK-Omelette]

It's like everyone is spamming the MegaButton...

 

[FlareHabanero]

It's like everyone is spamming the MegaButton...

It's megatastic!

 

[PK-Omelette]

Let's get Jiggly

 

[Diddy Kong]

Oh **** yeah double fused Metagross for Mega Evoltuion would be SICK AS ****

Hoping for Raichu and Tyranitar to.

To bad the game play contradicts that. :L

Meh, debatable.
Don't start trying to make flame wars now, or I'll have to derail the forum tracks again

 

[Hotfeet444]

Hahahaha, last night's reply from Noah was laughably sad.

Anyways, good afternoon everyone, how's everyone doing today? So what's the subject of the hour? Mega Pokemon? Fire Emblem? Zelda? I ask because our subjects tend to not stray very far away from said patterns.
