Good afternoon all, hope you're all doing well.

Well, looks like things are going slow this afternoon, so I decided to make another rooster:



Enjoy, as it'll soon become part of Papa Rick's Crispy Chicken brand. Anyways, no cuts, 49 characters, 7 DLC characters, what are your thoughts?
It is a good roster, I think Tiki is a cool choice, and at least she's not Chrom. But Roy's MAH BOI! And I like no cuts, just cause I don't want any. I'd choose Isaac over Shulk, but he's a good choice too. I'd totally buy Roy, Pichu, Dr.Mario, Dixie Kong, and Toon Zelda for DLC. But I don't really know who Zael and Aeron are.

I would satisfied with this roster, minus Tiki. Replace her for Chrom or Lucina. And bonus points for keeping Lucario

This thread is quiet today. I wonder why... :rolleyes:

And why is the topic FIRE EMBLEM again? Looks like there's no stopping to beating the same dead horse over and over again... >_>

I can't wait for SSB4 to come out... just so these Mario/Zelda/Pokemon/Fire Emblem debates will end... who am I kidding? People would get butthurt regardless and continue debating over SSB5.

What's wrong with Shulk, Zael, and Aeron?
I see Shulk as SORT OF a "muh recency" character and there is no way he's more deserving than Issac. Also having all 3 of them in the same game is pushing it. Last Story & Pandora's Tower don't seem to be HUGE Nintendo franchises.

I think he's more deserving than Isaac and he is in no way a "muh recency" character. Shulk is one of the 3 Project Rainfall games, is one of the best acclaimed Wii games being with Zelda and Mario, he seems to be getting another game, he is also very popular. Having Zael and Aeron there would complete the trio too and it's best to have those 2 as DLC.

I wouldn't say having the two just yet. Maybe one of them, but it's best to save having multiple reps for Xenoblade for Smash 5/6

I think that Sakurai probably want to add a few sword fighters for SSB4...

Takamaru, Shulk, a Fire Emblem newcomer (I am betting on Chrom), and maybe even Toon Ganondorf (please cut Ganondorf and replace with Toon Ganondorf).

How???

Shulk is one of the 3 Project Rainfall games
So?

is one of the best acclaimed Wii games being with Zelda and Mario
So are a lot of games on other Nintendo game consoles. What makes this so special? Is it getting a sequel? Is it going to be important a couple years from now?


he seems to be getting another game
What game?

he is also very popular.
Again, so are a lot of Nintendo franchises and they have more merits.

Having Zael and Aeron there would complete the trio too and it's best to have those 2 as DLC.
Being from the same company doesn't make you the same franchise. Having them as DLC is really excessive.

They were demanded by fan-demand to come to the West, which happens almost never happens, giving it a sense of importance

So are a lot of games on other Nintendo game consoles.
But we are talking about the Wii now, not the SNES or N64


What game?
X, it seems to be a sequel to Xenoblade

Not quite as many as Shulk does though.

That's my point, they aren't the same franchise, having 3 Xenoblade characters is really excessive, however having 3 different franchises doesn't make it excessive

Still doesn't put him above alot of other franchises.

Yet there is no mention of it having anything to do with Xenoblade

Not quite as many as Shulk does though.
So Golden Sun being a very well received game and getting 2 sequels is less merits than simply being a well received game? No.

That's my point, they aren't the same franchise, having 3 Xenoblade characters is really excessive, however having 3 different franchises doesn't make it excessive
It is when these are not highly important Nintendo franchises.

I can touch the Ocean from here.
Being the best acclaimed Wii game could get Sakurai's attention and have him add Shulk.
Xenoblade has already gotten Sakurai's attention. He tweeted a picture of the Monado. (Is that what its called?)

The only way Shulk made it in is if Sakurai feels he is a worthy inclusion with moveset potential. We can't predict if he did that until we see anything Xenoblade related.

Fan-demand like Mewtwo and Ridley.
Except Ridley is the Bowser of Metroid and Mewtwo is one of the most popular an important Pokemon of the series. They didn't get in for nothing, but fan demand like you suggest Shulk would. Bad comparison.

I think having a Xenoblade stage is all we really need.

No let's discuss something else, what if Batman was in SSB4?
Your reaction?
I would say he's gonna need a lot more of that explosive gel to get himself through this.

Only liked this post because of the movie that scene was from, though I guess Ridley or some dragon coming out of some gangster's butt would be more amusing than a monkey.
