Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Robert of Normandy]

Because lords are important to the series, and are the most recognizable. Choosing a non-lord would be stupid logic imo.

Micaiah deconfirmed.

 

[3Bismyname]

Hes not relevant in awakening. So why would simply being in awakening make him relevant?

right especially considering he's no more relevant to Awakening than Micaiah, Lyn, Ike or any of the other DLC characters

 

[Hotfeet444]

A lot better then the majority of crap Nintendo has produced lately, at least in my opinion.

I agree, although it depends on what products you're talking about specifically.

 

[MargnetMan23]

Chrom isn't even a main character in HIS OWN game - he and Lucina share the main character role, so Chrom's only a co-main character.

While shinpichu points you out on one completely bull**** piece of info I'll call you out on another because this CLEARLY shows you know next to nothing about Awakening's plot >.> (Robin is more important then Lucina and I HARDLY think being a co-main character hurts your chances that much... ESPECIALLY since Sakurai could use Robin or Lucina Awakening reps too)

 

[Conviction]

You mean the club of "LALALALA I"M NOT LISTENING!!!"???

I promised myself I wouldn't argue with people whose IQ is below room temperature. I promissseeeddd...Damn it.

Look here, I haven't seen much of you (and I'm glad), but after watching you derp up the social thread I wish we banished you to the Shadow Realm forever.

Fixed.

 

[Louie G.]

Impa is just Sheik with recency. I honestly don't understand his concept. HOW DO YOU CHANGE INTO SOMEBODY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I mean unless Zelda carries Impa in a Pokeball it doesn't make sense. Why make things more complicated, just keep Sheik. She's already Zelda.

Impa confirmed as a Pokeball Pokémon.

 

[SuperBrawler]

If Chrom wasn't in Awakening no one would like him.

Also goes for Dixie Kong. And others.

if Chrom wasnt in Awakening he wouldnt exist... so yeah ur right that no one would like him.

DivineDiety knows nothing about FE? It's almost like he hasn't played any of the games or something.

[FlareHabanero]

Plus, he's pretty popular to boot. Now admittedly, Roy has some more popularity when it comes to Smash, but if you look at the Top 10 character selection polls for Super Smash Bros. 4, Chrom is usually sitting in the Top 10 alongside Roy, showing that he does, indeed, have popularity. Even Fire Emblem fans like him, judging from the poll that ManlySpirit had going. Admittedly, he pales in comparison to Ike on that poll, but then again, every Fire Emblem character does. That doesn't mean they can't coexist.

Which brings up a bit of a deceptive paradox, where Chrom does well in polls but everywhere else he's constant trashed talk or ignored. That has always bothered me for some reason.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

They are all relevant so thus none of them are. Seems legit.

That's funny.
If Roy really meant that much to Sakurai, he would be higher priority. And he wasn't.

Guess Sakurai didn't care about Mewtwo during Brawl. I mean those 2 had the most data.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Because lords are important to the series, and are the most recognizable. Choosing a non-lord would be stupid logic imo.

I don't think that would be part of Sakurai's decisions when choosing FE characters.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

It would.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Micaiah deconfirmed.

Sadly yes, imo her chances are low, I'd expect ike to look like radiant dawn ike instead por ike this time around.

 

[MargnetMan23]

Because lords are important to the series, and are the most recognizable. Choosing a non-lord would be stupid logic imo.

And pokemon trainer shouldn't of been playable because his pokemon are more iconic and central =P I mean, of course character like Donnel shouldn't be playable but I hardly see how characters like Robin or even Anna have absolutely nothing justifying their inclusion just for the sheer fact of not being a lord.

 

[BluePikmin11]

It would.

How does it then? There's no specific criteria Sakurai made for FE characters, so really we can't be sure.

 

[Conviction]

At least watch a playthrough of the game before you say something stupid. Lucina was kind of like Future Trunks in FE:A.

 

[3Bismyname]

.

overall they really arent relevant to Awakening. they're optional content that u are in no way required to purchase. and all im saying is that claiming Roy is relevant because he was given DLC means u also have to acknowledge that almost every other lord was given it as well so he's really no more special than them and certainly not by comparison to Chrom who co-stars the game.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

How does it then? There's no specific criteria Sakurai made for FE characters, so really we can't be sure.

It's only logical.

 

[TumblrFamous]

- Impa is in the original Zelda game 1 and 2 and has a reoccuring role in OoT and SS. Sheik only appears in OoT.

Zelda 1 and 2? You mean not in the game, just in the manual that came from it? Yep, definitely in the game.

She has a minor important role in OoT and had a very important role in SS. Sheik is Zelda.

Again: Zelda is a representative of all parts of Zelda, which can be supported in Brawl. Sure her appearance was changed, but she still had her special moveset (which was only seen in OoT, I believe), and Sheik. She's representing all important parts of Zelda, as follows:

1. Her magical attacks. Zelda is a sage, the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom, she's a psychic. So they gave her a magic moveset to represent that aspect of her.
2. Her divinity. As I'm sure you know, you learn, finally for a confirmation, that Zelda is the reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia. She is a goddess. So, of course, they gave her the powers of the Three Goddesses: Din, Nayru, and Farore. They gave her these specials to represent the fact that she does have a divine essence in her.
3. Sheik. Sheik is one of the most important characters in OoT, one of the, if not THE best Zelda game created, based on sales and reception. I don't believe I need to post a link to it, but I will. And I used Wikipedia, if you don't mind. For something as simple and understandable as this, I don't really feel like I need a valid reason. Anyway, Sheik is part of Zelda. That's why the two of them work together. And she is still recent and relevant to the franchise, being in OoT3D. All transformation characters are characters that are basically the same person (the Pokemon are all under the command of Trainer, so they fit together. Besides, the basis of Pokemon is a Trainer to control Pokemon). Impa and Zelda will not work. I mean, of course they would, but it would not make any sense, being that they are not the same person at ALL. She's just a character that should not at all be paired with Zelda. It would insult both Impa and Zelda.

I would like to continue about Sheik, but I don't really want to. If you want me to keep going, please, be my guest and ask me.

 

[MargnetMan23]

It's more of a one of many type deal, Roy's inclusion in awakening adds NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to his chances. He was given no special treatment among them, no specific reason to really stand out and you're grasping at straws to even suggest that makes a valid case for relevancy. If Roy didn't have that melee vet status he'd have about as good of a chance as any of those other past lords and you ****ing know it.

 

[SchAlternate]

Who is the one that do the fighting, though? The trainer, or the Pokemons?

 

[Deleted member]

Vacuum (which could be an entire moveset unlike "puffs of purple smoke", "really powerful legs", which accounts to maybe a move at best), long and high jumping abilities, and other such moves from non spin-off Mario titles that Waluigi has no access to.

You missed the part where I said "Other than the frigging vacuum, everything about Luigi is just a deviation from Mario's abilities."

Those "high jumping abilities"? Just altercations to Mario's jumping.
"Other such moves from non spin-off Mario titles"? Like...what exactly? Every "main" (i.e. what people refer to the platformers as) Mario game Luigi's in, he does the exact same **** as Mario. What is so unique about that?
Even in the spin-offs Luigi is barely different from Mario. Whenever he isn't the exact same, it's either arbitrary changes to Mario's abilities or MUH VACUUM.

And if the Vacuum can be an entire moveset, then make a full moveset of using nothing but the vacuum. And it has to be both interesting and viable. Good luck.

On top of that, Luigi is actually a relevant character. I mean, he stared in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and NEW Super Luigi U just this year, and co-stars in Mario & Luigi: Dream, as well as plays a prominent role in Super Mario 3D World.

Relevancy be damned if someone isn't unique; isn't that your line of thought?

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Because lords are important to the series, and are the most recognizable. Choosing a non-lord would be stupid logic imo.

Don't get confuse main characters with the "Lord" class. Radiant Dawn (FE10) doesn't even have a Lord class.

This is what serenesforest says about the main characters
"Q) Who are the main characters of each games?
A) Here's the current list:

• FE1: Marth
• FE2: Arum and Cellica
• FE3: Marth
• FE4: Sigurd and Celice
• FE5: Leaf
• FE6: Roy
• FE7: Lyn, Eliwood and Hector
• FE8: Eirika and Ephraim
• FE9: Ike
• FE10: Micaiah and Ike
• FE11: Marth
• FE12: Marth and your Avatar
• FE13: Chrom and your Avatar

Note: The main heroes are usually of the Lord class, so some fans refer to them as just Lords."

Again with the anti-Impa/pro--Sheik prejudice... I swear its like mainstream establishment of a political agenda, like you're just towing the line of whatever everybody else within your political spectrum says. Like an Al Sharpton kind of left-wing MSNBC guy, you're gonna go out there and deny all responsibility of your actions, and play the blame-game by pretending to be the victim. Blame everybody else as if its their fault and not yours. Learn to take responsibility for your actions, Noah.

Long ass rant

Again you only look at a little of the evidence instead of all of it. If you looked at all of it, you'd be more in favor of Roy than Chrom. Imagine we're in a courtroom and we're both lawyers. You're going to defend Chrom but you only notice the evidence for him, and ignore the rest against him. You only present a very weak case against the Judge (Sakurai). meanwhile, I look at all the evidence for and against Roy, and I look at all the evidence for and against Chrom, you know, being impartial and unbiased. I realize the evidence sways the favor for Roy rather than Chrom because if you count popularity, uniqueness and diversity, and relevency and recentness to their own series, than Roy would win because he's iconic and imprtant while Chrom is not. Roy would win because the judge would look at all the evidence and declare Roy is the victor. Case closed.

When we play pokemon who do we play as? A pokemon trainer.
When we play FE and a lord dies what do you get? a game over. They seem pretty important don't ya think? I just don't think IS or sakurai would just go oh yeah let's just add a non-lord this time around, I just don't see it happening. (again its my opinion)

 

[BluePikmin11]

At least watch a playthrough of the game before you say something stupid. Lucina was kind of like Future Trunks in FE:A.

Not the best way to experience FE:A Awakening, I find it very boring to watch people read long text, I would rather read by myself.

Before FE13 we used to argue Non-Lords all the time. Drove ChronoBound crazy.

 

[?????????????]

After playing Fire Emblem Awakening...

I definitely would not attribute Lucina to Chrom. Chrom is clearly more of the main character.

Do you know what else gives you a game over screen if he dies? ROBIN.

IS could be suggesting either a lord or a non-lord to Sakurai. So really all the lord stuff doesn't really matter.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Impa is in the original Zelda game 1 and 2 and has a reoccuring role in OoT and SS. Sheik only appears in OoT.

And Classic Link appears more than Toon Link. And Ganon appears more than Ganondorf. And the Great Fairy appears more than Impa. At least Tingle had his own spin off games! Replace Sheik with Tingle cuz he's more recurring.

 

[SchAlternate]

It's more of a one of many type deal, Roy's inclusion in awakening adds NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to his chances. He was given no special treatment among them, no specific reason to really stand out and you're grasping at straws to even suggest that makes a valid case for relevancy.

He does get a ****ing awesome redesign, though.

DivineDiety knows nothing about FE? It's almost like he hasn't played any of the games or something.

I don't have to play any of the games to know something about them (I only know Fire Emblem through Smash)... so I guess by your logic, you should all just stop talking about anything, because I doubt we played every game in Smash. I guess we should all shut up about Game and Watch, Ice Climbers or ROB and Wii Fit Trainer. If you haven't played their games then, I guess, by logic we shouldn't talk about it.....

seriously?

 

[Conviction]

I'm not saying that's the best way to experience it, I'm saying it will at least make you knowledgeable on the game's plot instead of pulling **** from your ass.

 

[SuperBrawler]

MUH RECENCY everywhere.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

If Roy didn't have that melee vet status he'd have about as good of a chance as any of those other past lords and you ****ing know it.

But, he did have his vet status

 

[?????????????]

I only know Fire Emblem through Smash

...

Shouldn't this statement by itself imply a bias towards Roy?
