Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Onyx Oblivian]

I'm going to go with a Lucario reveal. They've been revealing characters that people thought were going to be cut so he has to be next

But I'd LOVE to be surprised with a Mewtwo reveal. But I still think he's secret/with a video.

So Lucario gets my vote on who will be revealed. (and it might be tomorrow!) He makes sense with Pokemon XY promotion, while being a veteran.

 

[NickerBocker]

Put me down for Jigglypuff.

All of them are edited

I can't wait to see what the list looks like when I get back home! Hopefully some more people vote. See you guys later!

 

[SchAlternate]

Whatever happened, they chose Lucario over Mewtwo or both. I think the most logical explanation for said happening is indeed recency (and henceforth, waning popularity for Mewtwo and rising popularity for Lucario.)

Eh. At least now that they got stuff more organized (as in, no SSE-style story mode to drain production time and random last minute Sanic out of ****ing nowhere) Sakurai will probably not make the same mistake again.

Also, I am so glad I helped (even a little bit) to created all this hype by starting the signature thing which lead to/made the betting thing happen.

LET'S GET OUR HYPE FACES ON!!!

Both of you are added to the list.

Hah, that made me laugh.

I think it was pretty much just all you. Obviously Zhadgon changed up the format to make it more accessible. It was still your idea though. Thanks.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I'd call it a safe bet that Mewtwo will replace Lucario.

Nobody is replacing anybody. Sakurai will plan to have both Pokemon from the start. People only don't make it because of time constraints. And let me get this straight. You're suggesting that an already cut Pokemon, would replace a very well received Pokemon/Veteran (and don't act like it's not, because almost everyone I know is a fan of this inclusion). It's simply making the same mistake as Brawl, but reversing it. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a safe bet. Especially when all that's really changed is a 3rd movie where he still rivals the spotlight of Genesect in said movie. Mewtwo has always been a bit more popular than Lucario so not much has changed. Let's not forget that we wouldn't have any playable Pokemon outside Gen 1 even though people like to act like they are Sakurai and say that doesn't matter.

Cutting any Pokemon would be making the same "Big" mistake as Brawl. Cut somebody from another franchise.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Mewtwo hype = Sonic hype = Megaman hype.

 

[Johnknight1]

Yet another reason why Project M is awesome, his moveset got a bit of an overhaul to incorporate more martial art based attacks.

And gave him a Sky Uppercut (MAN THAT MOVES IS SO COOL!!! AND IT LOOKS AWESOME) and a FREAKING SPIRIT BOMB!!!!

Also, the Aura system needs to die. That is unless it becomes like the Project M system to where all it does is charge the Spirit Bomb the more you land attack, as if it was a super system in a more "traditional" fighting game.

 

[SchAlternate]

Mewtwo hype = Sonic hype in Brawl = Megaman hype.

Fix'd.

 

[Gormanbros]

Guys! The Challenger Approaching Banner is gone! :D! Expect a reveal!!!!

Hm.... It's still on mine, but my computer didn't even get yesterdays picture of the day. Haha. So, I trust you, and this did make my day just a bit better. :D

 

[Onyx Oblivian]

Even though my vote is for Lucario; if they reveal Mewtwo I really hope it's he doesn't get a veteran square and passive mention like he was expected. He should be treated like a newcomer considering he wasn't in Brawl. With a video and everything. So I'll be a little disappointed (but excited!) Mewtwo doesn't deserve a square, he deserves a rectangle.

and it could say "RETURNING" instead of "NEWCOMER".

It's been down since about 8 hours ago.

xIblisx was the first person here to notice it.

Mewtwo hype = Sonic hype = Megaman hype.

We talking Sonic in Smash 4, right=???

Because nothing will even be 1/100th as big as Sonic pre-Brawl. That hype was insane. You had to be here to know how big it was. YOU HAD TO!!!

There are human beings viewing this thread RIGHT NOW that have not experienced Sonic being confirmed for Brawl back in 2007.

I wish I was, but I was busy playing Melee (1st time I played SSB) to even know about Brawl.

 

[Johnknight1]

Come in from class sees board gossiping like giddy school girls.All this hype and we haven't even got a character reveal yet

We got 3 characters in 4 weeks, and we're about to get either 4 or 6 in 5 weeks.

Yeah, of course we're giddy like school girls.

 

[Gormanbros]

Nice. I won't be getting my copy of Pokémon X until early next week, so this character will help tide me over. Well, this and my Pokémon Emerald nuzlocke. Haha

 

[Starcutter]

am I the only one that liked lucario's aura physics in brawl?

 

[SchAlternate]

am I the only one that liked lucario's aura physics in brawl?

I liked them. It's just that they went overboard with it.

 

[SuperBrawler]

I did.

 

[Johnknight1]

Part of you shouldn't. This site was half-broken for 9 months, and it didn't function for a month. GameFAQs had a nearly year long seizure on the Brawl Boards. IGN's site was laggy. The DOJO STOPPED LOADING FOR SEVERAL HOURS!!!! The video feed of the live stream of the Nintendo event that it was shown at CRASH after viewership went up ridiculously fast. The reveal was on the front page of every gaming site, as well as sites like Yahoo, MSN, etc. IT WAS NUTS!!!

There are human beings viewing this thread RIGHT NOWthat have not experienced Sonic being confirmed for Brawl back in 2007.

I know. It's a strange thing, but eh, they gotta understand how big Sonic was back then to really understand it. Brawl hype went from about 5 times bigger than Smash 4 hype is now (and we had 5 times as many posters), to just... Smash Boards never had under 1,000 people viewing until 3 months after Brawl launched in America.

Let me tell you all this: I thought the hype beforehand when Sonic was confirmed would be big, but MANNN!!! It blew the hell up!!! I went to some very large Halo fan forum my friend was active on once, and even there that was the #1 thing they were talking about a few weeks after Sonic's reveal.

 

[LoneKonWolf]

I was told this is where we put down the votes for the next reveled veteran
if so mine is on PT

 

[Arcanir]

So, more-or-less, yes, I think Lucario replaced Mewtwo. Not pre-development, but mid-development the go-ahead was made to forgo mewtwo because Lucario was an option.

Again? Seriously!?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Put me down for Mewtwo.

 

[Rasumii]

I remember my reaction to Sonic's trailer and seeing him on the site. I remember bolting out of my room and waking my brother up to tell him.

He didn't get excited at that moment, but I did get a punch to the gut. I haven't woken him up since.

 

[Zhadgon]

Added and welcome, thanks for passing and putting your vote.

Put me down for Mewtwo.

Added.
.n_n.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I will say that we'll NEVER get a reveal on par with Sonic being revealed for Brawl. Nothing will come even close, the closest thing you'll get this time around is Ridley being revealed for Smash 4, and that's still small potatoes. Literally, the only thing that could of created bigger hype was that if Sonic was revealed in the very first trailer for Brawl back at E3 2006.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Put me down for everyone. (undecided)

It was so casual, too.
You go on Smashbros.com and suddenly, Sonic's name and picture.
I literally stared at the screen for around 5 minutes. (I've already said this once, which is why some of you might find this post familiar.)

Nah, I think you and Zhadgon created a lot of this, as well as everyone else being willing to roll with it, which is part of why it has been so fun.

 

[EddyBearr]

Nobody is replacing anybody. Sakurai will plan to have both Pokemon from the start. People only don't make it because of time constraints.

Yes, planned characters will be cut due to time constraints, but how do they decide which planned characters to cut?
By the way, don't act like you are Sakurai (as you alluded to later in this post) and define the process on his behalf.

And let me get this straight. You're suggesting that an already cut Pokemon, would replace a very well received Pokemon/Veteran (and don't act like it's not, because almost everyone I know is a fan of this inclusion).

It's your anecdotal evidence against mine as to how he was recieved. Lol.

And yes, I'm expecting a more-popular veteran to replace another veteran.

Let's not forget that we wouldn't have any playable Pokemon outside Gen 1 even though people like to act like they are Sakurai and say that doesn't matter.

I'm also expecting a multi-generaiton Pokemon Trainer, if that helps at all. Lol.

Cutting any Pokemon would be making the same mistake as Brawl. Cut somebody from another franchise.

Cutting anyone from Fire Emblem would be making the same mistake as Brawl. Cut somebody from another franchise.

That sounds more like an "I like Pokemon" bias than an argument.

I was majorly upset when he was revealed. Lol. I was also pretty upset to see Megaman to be honest. I only wanted Nintendo characters.

Yes.

[Mega Bidoof]

Here is an updated version of my roster, mainly aesthetic changes.
Can someone critique it.

 

[Rasumii]

Are there certain Pokemon Reps we can vote for?

Not that it matters, since I'm going to vote Jigglypuff actually.

I really want a new Pokemon Rep. Someone like... Machamp. Or Machoke. I forget which one is the third revolution, although I'm pretty sure it's Machamp. I just remember trying to find a trade to get the last evolution was a hassle for me.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I was majorly upset when he was revealed. Lol. I was also pretty upset to see Megaman to be honest. I only wanted Nintendo characters.

That purity bullcrap was pretty much shot down when Solid Snake was revealed for Super Smash Bros.
