nope 9 was taken
Make it 8.
Yar. If they really want a female FE rep then Lucina is the obvious choice to me. Just about as relevant as Chrom being a main character in Awakening.
I see it more as a stylistic criteria.
..............................................Nope also taken.
Really need a list of what's free.
I still feel she is an extremely viable option, I feel a ton of the assist trophies have a shot of making it into the game and dont forget that she is the first american released fire emblem protagonist, this is something to take into consideration and is a huge reason why she is so popular (I mean thats one of the reasons I like her so much).
I don't trust you, remember to keep in mind that being recent is not the end all decision and there is the glaring problem of not being able to stand out enough among his comrades. Same goes with Lucina.
The thing is I think Marth, Ike, Lyn and Roy (redone entirely) is a completely viable option for ssb4.
Yeah, some of the ATs have a pretty good chance at being playable this time around, but just because they were ATs doesn't mean they have increased chances. Also being the first lord outside Japan might be what caused a lot of her popularity, sure, but it really doesn't mean that much towards her chances, American FE popularity doesn't matter as much as Japanese FE popularity anyway, and even if it did, she's got several characters ahead of her popularity-wise in all regions. And if Sakurai really wanted to capitalize of her impact as first western Lord, don't you think he would've done that with Brawl? I mean, it's not like people are getting into the series through FE7 anymore. Her chances since Brawl have not only decreased, but the chances of her competition have increased, and she's now got new, more likely competition as well.
Im not predicting her inclusion (even though this is a prediction thread) im saying that she has a better chance than most FE characters (besides roy) and an equal chance with some FE characters (like chrom).
Also taken, man you just have bad luck. The numbers that have been taken are as follows 1,4,5,6,7,8,9,13,14,17,19,25,26,27,and 35...............................................
Gimme #4.
I didn't say Chrom was more likely than Roy, I said Chrom was more likely than Lyn, because Magnes was originally comparing Chrom's chances to Lyn's chances. Do you really think Lyn has a better shot than Chrom, or did you just not read everything?
I still hold alot of weight with the fact lyn made it in as assist trophy, that means that she was already in consideration as a character choice, I feel this alone sets her on the same level as chrom for a chance of getting in the game, Roy id say is almost guaranteed.
By no means does being made an AT imply that they were at one point considered for playability. It's possible, even likely, that some of them were considered at one point in development, but do you really think Helirin, or Andross, or the Devil or someone was at one point considered to be playable? Considering there are no statements indicating any of the ATs were originally going to be playable (except maaaybe Starfy, but that could be an error), there's really no grounds to assume Lyn was ever seriously considered as a character. Being an AT doesn't mean anything in regards to a character's chance at playability.
It could but it easily could have not.
Perhaps there could have been a few assist trophies considered as playable in smash but Sakurai then opted for them to be assist trophies in the end.
Think about it both lyn and roy are in the games code, thats alot more than what chrom has, he is just the new fire emblem character, but honestly nobody knows anything we are all reaching for straws until 8 more days (then leading to more straw groping).
I'm aware of this, I said pretty much the exact same thing yesterday. And I only brought up the "pattern" (which is merely a coincidence) because if history were to repeat itself, Chrom would be the one chosen. But I already said I didn't think that was going to happen.
There is literally no proof of Lyn ever being considered to be playable. What we do have proof of is (other than Marth) two other FE characters being planned before her, at her peak. Now she has even more competition that outmatches her. Claiming ATs have higher chances or were undoubtedly considered is pretty flawed, considering a good amount of the ATs are hardly feasible fighters.
Highly doubt doctor mario or pichu but the other two I can def see.
Yeah I know but technically both of these characters are in the game, this makes them alot more viable than most plausible characters that havent been mentioned in a ssb game.
Oh i didnt know he was one of the 7, god I hope he doesnt return.... alt costume for sure just make mario better. (It still baffles me to this day how dr. mario got in smash in the first place).
Having similar sword's never stopped Toon Link from making it in. Besides their swords look vastly different compared to Link and Toon Link's.
Of course other characters can make it in ( I mean they have to) but Im just saying from If you look at it from the perspective I offered they are already in a smash bros. game so they already have done something a character with no mention in the game at all has.
