Everything on that roster looks good to me except for Starfy and Miis, also I feel like R.O.B. could stand to be cut, since it's not even really a character and should be buried along with Nintendo's other flops like the Power Glove and the Virtual Boy. Also Roy should only come back if he actually has a different moveset from Marth because in Melee Marth was far superior.
The hell are you talking about? Why can't we just have Sonic, Snake and Mega Man???
He could get in with only 3, I don't know what your talking about.
I'll just give some of my personal beliefs cause that's what I know.
You are so full of it. Look up opinion on Free Dictionary.com, the point is that everything you said is subjective.Opinion?
Opinion?
Because it's a bloody opinion that Sakurai chooses Pokémon by marketability.
And it's opinion that Jigglypuff is nowhere near as marketable as it was in the past.
And it's also opinion that Jigglypuff as well as Mewtwo were lower priority characters in Brawl, around the time that coincidentally they both dropped a substantial degree of marketing.
No my friend, 'tis no opinion, 'tis logic.
I'd like to point out that Sakurai NEVER said that he picks the "newest" Pokémon characters, and that he DID in fact CUT OUT A PREVIOUS SMASH POKEMON THAT REALLY HAD NO REASON TO BE CUT OTHERWISE.
I'd also like to point out that I NEVER SAID JIGGLYPUFF WAS GOING TO BE CUT NOR THAT IT DOESN'T HOLD SOME "RIGHT" TO RETURN; JUST THAT IT IS NOWHERE NEAR THE LEVEL OF SAFETY THAT PEOPLE CLAIM IT TO BE.
So I suggest if you're going to step into the lion's den while the lion's been particularly riled up, you get your facts straight first.
I'm sorry, but I can't pass this up: where is a source where it says the roster will be smaller than Brawl's? I'd like a link to that article. Because I'm pretty sure Sakurai said we can't add that many characters, and they might not have time to bring every character back.
How about this? His dash attack isn't even comparable to mario's his jab combo is different, his Dair is different and even some of the moves that are the same have their unique spin on things such as Up B and Neutral B. There is a difference between a semi clone and a clone. Just saying.
The same can be said for every clone, just look at Doc, Falco, and Roy on Melee, their moves are all exactly the same as Mario, Fox, and Marth, but the differences in properties give them very different play styles, but a clone is still a clone.
Being planned for Brawl and among the Top 5 most wanted characters for Smash 4 (especially in Japan) helps a great deal. It also helps that FE6 is one of most popular installments in the series.
I agree hes way too popular to be low priority
Not much of an Isaac guy, I see. Can't really blame you, Isaac isn't really anything special.
I am just going to say it bluntly, I think Big Boss replacing Snake is more likely than the return of Snake over Pac-Man.
I think he considers "popularity" to be different from "best selling"
Awakening is, but FE6 is up there too. In Japan, there was actually a more mixed reception to FE13 than there was in the West (some people didn't like the animu direction apparently).
Mewtwo deconfirmed.
He said "one of the most" not "the most"
I myself don't count "being planned" as a good reason. It still means he was a low enough priority to, ultimately, be cut.
My guess is that we will get a roster in the early fifties (transformation included). At worst case scenario, we will see at least forty-five characters (again, transformation included).
I'd love to see Paper Mario show up in Smash, but I particularly want to see more Paper Mario representation. Loved the first three games and would be all for giving the game more contents even if Paper Mario fails to become playable.
I think people will once and for all realize just how little recentness matter. Should that day come, it will be glorious. Recentness is the pre-Brawl equivalent of the female supporters except without the supporters drenching us in fetish.
Because Pac-Man is going to get in. Remember that leak back a few months ago? Well it's true and will prove to be true eventually. So yeah, unless we get four third-parties, Snake isn't coming back.
Right I forgot about his dash attack, and as I just said the whole point of clones is to give the same move different properties, and I forgot about his dair being different because I've been playing mostly P:M lately, but over half of Luigi's moves are still the same as Mario, I think that if the majority of his moveset is the same then that's enough for him to be considered a full clone.
Lets be serious. Sakurai loves his clones. Mewtwo is shoe-in, bro!Mewtwo deconfirmed.
That's possible, but that being the case, they might as well still call him Snake. Brawl's roster didn't call the character "Solid Snake." If it's based on MGS3 (because of the 3DS remake), they could continue to just call him "Snake."
Actually he is. The Pokemon characters as of now are important to both Pokemon and Smash Bros, and while some may be in one category than the other, they're important to Smash Bros. Pikachu...important to Pokemon as the Mascot and main star of Pokemon for Smash Bros, Jigglypuff, relevancy lost a bit in recent years, but has gone back up thanks to X/Y and is VERY important to Smash Bros, Pokemon Trainer, the main character of Pokemon, the character we play as, his pokemon are important to Pokemon and his intricate style is important to Smash Bros. Mewtwo, although only in Melee as of now, was intended for every title in the franchise and is, in certain ways, a perfect attendee in data, he is VERY important to Pokemon, and the fans of Smash Bros see him as important to the franchise of Smash Bros as well. Lucario is only slightly above average importance in pokemon and really doesn't have any importance to Smash Bros aside from the ability of his aura, Lucario, as of right now, is most likely at the bottom of the importance list for the five pokemon veterans.
I'm not sure if FE13 is even the most popular game in the West. I think when the dust settles people will be more open to FE13's flaws. I think overall FE7 and FE9 were better than it as far as international FE games go. I think FE9 in particular is crippled in popularity due to having been made for the GameCube, and copies being relatively expensive to get.
if the franchises are kept at 4 then I see Jiggs leaving not Lucario sadly
Just remove the stupid fatigue mechanic and I'm fine with PT returning.
Lucario's importance has also gone up as a result of Pokémon X & Y. He's being heavily promoted right now, especially with his Mega form.
Which is cleanly being overshadowed by both of Mewtwo's forms.
Thank you for explaining that clear and concise. The main thing I want to point out is that you are correct. Jigglypuff has lost relevancy in recent years, but he is VERY important to Smash. We aren't debating whether or not Jigglypuff will be on the front cover of X and Y because she is a Fairy type. She is important after 13 and a half years of being in the franchise (Smash). So I think it would be fair to say that Lucario is the lowest priority. Not only is he COMMONLY associated as someone who replaced Mewtwo, but his new Mega Evolution gives him just as much relevancy as Jiggs getting Fairy type. They are the same thing. When we examine it from the Smash lens, Jigglypuff is way more important. Mewtwo and Pikachu are given, Pokemon Trainer has Charizard and he represents Pokemon as a whole.
Didn't say that it wasn't. I just said that Lucario's importance has also been considerably boosted by Pokémon X & Y.
Whatever, you all know that Mega Ampharos is going to be added in favor of both of them
Why don't you look up what subjective means on Free Dictionary.com before using it?
Lucario has always been heavily promoted we just noticed it more because of X/Y
