Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[TheLastJinjo]

That's not true at all. Roy has a far less shot than Chrom. I know recency is not something people like to hear about, but they are in denial if they don't think that's what influenced Roy and Ike.

lolno

 

[TheDivineDeity]

And they're sick of being treated like **** all because they'd rather have Chrom over Roy. Don't post that tears comment and complain YOU are being treated like ****.

Once again, anybody who supports Roy is a demon, while everybody who supports Chrom is an angel.... I get it. God...

 

[Seraphim.]

That's not true at all. Roy has a far less shot than Chrom. I know recency is not something people like to hear about, but they are in denial if they don't think that's what influenced Roy and Ike. Chrom has an edge over all FE characters for the same reason.

The problem is from what we seen so far, recency doesn't help all too much.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

No, you either want a character because you like the character (Roy) or you expect a character because of recency (Chrom). That's how the debate is nowadays. SMH...

Did it ever occur to you that people might actually like Chrom and want him in because of that? Not expectations.

 

[Hotfeet444]

No, you either want a character because you like the character (Roy) or you expect a character because of recency (Chrom). That's how the debate is nowadays. SMH...

That's so pathetically biased it makes the last pages of blatant ignorance and profanity look like a walk through dreamland...

 

[Louie G.]

lolno

Why did I even mention Ike?

 

[TheDivineDeity]

yup FE then Sheriff then FE again
3 days of this

Let's get back to Sheriff...

 

[Croph]

I feel like re-posting this...

Roy was not added in Melee to solely promote FE6, Sakurai has never mentioned that. Now, I do take the whole "Leif was considered for the FE clone before Roy" thing with a grain of salt, but I'll play. Even if Leif was considered, I do believe he had more merit to his consideration than being the most recent Lord: having significance (being playable in 2 games) and aesthetics (compared to Sigurd and Celice) are among some. But in the end, we still don't have a clear idea as to why Leif was considered, so I wouldn't jump to the conclusion of Leif being the most recent Lord was the reason why.

Anyway, it is theorized that when Sakurai was shown Roy, he reconsidered and thought that Roy would be a better choice due to his fire properties standing out. He also predicted that players would fall in love with his "charm", and he ain't wrong about that...

What I'm trying to get at: if a FE Lord other than Roy was initially considered, how was Roy added solely to promote FE6? The deciding factor was Sakurai's personal choice; he thought Roy would be more unique than the other FE candidates at the time (due to Roy's fire abilities, aesthetics, etc), not promotion. I like to think promoting FE6 was an added side bonus; in the end FE6 did get promotion, but it had nothing to do with why Roy was chosen. Roy helped to promote the Fire Emblem series as a whole, alongside with Marth.

I'd also like to add that I think it was Chrono who brought up the sources where FE6's release date was actually delayed (I think the original release date was near Melee's).

LIKE DID I GET MY RESEARCH WRONG OR SOMETHING? I've always thought it was mostly Sakurai's personal choice for Roy...

But yeah, carry on I guess. :3

I think you're missing the point.

Basically, just don't attack or insult people for their views. That goes for everyone.

 

[TheDivineDeity]

Did it ever occur to you that people might actually like Chrom and want him in because of that? Not expectations.

Not from what I see.

That's so pathetically biased it makes the last pages of blatant ignorance and profanity look like a walk through dreamland...

I'm done wasting my time with you.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

That has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!!!! You were saying how you're going to lick the tears off Chrom fans.

The problem is from what we seen so far, recency doesn't help all too much.

Yeah, I mean that's not what got Lucario in. What if Lucina was the only main character? Would we HAVE to add her because she's recenct even though she's just vagina marth? That's how I feel about Chrom being fat Marth.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Well, new subject please?

 

[BluePikmin11]

Let's get back to Sheriff...

Popeye please!

What would be your reaction if Popeye gets into Smash. I see him as a secret unlockable character like Mr. Game and Watch and R.O.B.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Once again, anybody who supports Roy is a demon, while everybody who supports Chrom is an angel.... I get it. God...

Well, actually what he meant is that the fans who support one character and bash the other are demons. And I completely agree. It's fine to like one character, but you need to respect both choices, especially with a shot-in-the-dark franchise like FE.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Not from what I see.

Want me to find some for you?

I know at least 5 in real life and 3 here.

 

[Louie G.]

[kingmario92]

Honestly, I don't care if Chrom or Roy gets in (I don't know why there's so much bashing with the two). Either way, one of those Fire Emblem characters I'm going to be using when the game comes out. Why does this Chrom vs. Roy arguement even ****ing matter? Just drop the **** discussion please, I'm tired of it. I love Fire Emblem, but this is ridiculous.

Want me to find some for you?


I know at least 5 in real life and 3 here.

Chrom fan right here.

 

[Jaedrik]

lolno

Also, SaturnGamer64, while you're here, you didn't respond to my response to your response. Do you even have alerts telling when someone replied on? Because you should turn it on, and then look at them. Then again, when I looked at 'my content', it didn't show up, so I had to dig for it to find it. Strange. Are you a wizard?

*cough*
Neither did my quoted post show up in 'my content'.

 

[TheDivineDeity]

That has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!!!! You were saying how you're going to lick the tears off Chrom fans.

Because they deserve to have their tears licked off their faces. They do it all the time to Roy supporters, so why can't I do the same to Chrom fanboys? It's a double standard...

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Lolyeahitis

Recency?

Nope. It's because he was a "hot ticket" which has very little to do with recency.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I'm done wasting my time with you.

More like you're done wasting MY time, but that's okay, at least you did it without lowering yourself to cursing like a sailor.

 

[Frostwraith]

Well, this is going down the slippery slope of stupidity...

I'm out.

It's 1:25 AM here and I'm tired as hell. Good night, ladies and gentlemen. Frostwraith is out!

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Lolyeahitis

Right, it wasn't the movie and immense popularity he had.

 

[Shorts]

Ohmylanta

This **** is ******** as hell.

I hope they add Tharja and Caeda so everyone loses.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

If I murder your family, and you murder mine in retaliation, was justice done?

Jesus taught against the "eye for an eye" mentality. You're Christian. You should know that.

 

[TheDivineDeity]

*****TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT*****

Do you guys think Mewtwo AND Lucario will be announced side by side, like in a Nintendo Direct? Now that we're getting multiple characters announced per month, I can totally see it happening. Awesome.

 

[FlareHabanero]

IS is a different case since its a 2nd party developer. Same as Game Freak.

Fixed.

I just realized something. Mewtwo hasn't been revealed and it's not October. What's up with this Divine?

I doubt we'll get them side by side.

X and Y is big. But not THAT big.

Regardless, I still think we'll get two characters in October.Namely Mewtwo/Pokemon Trainer and Sonic.

Yeah, that "turn the other cheek" thing is stupid.
Why should I let someone attack me without countering him or getting justice?

Why should someone get away with "murdering my family" so to speak?

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Divine.

It's not the fact that you support Roy that has people upset.

It's that fact that you demonize and attack the opposition. Chrom isn't some demon from hell. He's just a character that people like. They don't deserved to be insulted or ridiculed.



IS is a first party company.


Funny, wasn't there a FE debate like this two nights ago?

Strange. I thought they were made a 2nd party a while back.

 

[kingmario92]

Who would you guys rather see: Mewtwo or Lucario?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Yeah, that "turn the other cheek" thing is stupid.

Because if you do that, and he has the same idea, when does it stop?

When one of you is dead? When your families are destroyed?

Martin Luther King said it best.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Who would you guys rather see: Mewtwo or Lucario?

Both would be great. Although Mewtwo may get me hyped more. Especially if he has a trailer.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Seconded. It's possible that he could dupe us and throw in two Pokemon characters, but I doubt it. The one time we would get characters together is a trailer for the game or a direct, IMO. But it will probably be Pokemon Trainer in early October and Sonic near the end. What I would want: Mewtwo and R.O.B.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

You seriously must have some sort of error because I never seem to get your alerts. (except this one)

Because they deserve to have their tears licked off their faces. They do it all the time to Roy supporters, so why can't I do the same to Chrom fanboys? It's a double standard...

Because that comment wasn't in response to anybody here starting it first. In other words:

More like you're done wasting MY time, but that's okay, at least you did it without lowering yourself to cursing like a sailor.

I want to do justice to this ironic accusation, but I feel it wouldn't be worth it.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Who would you guys rather see: Mewtwo or Lucario?

Both, because **** everything I want to watch the world burn.

 

[Hotfeet444]

Who would you guys rather see: Mewtwo or Lucario?

Mewtwo obviously.
