It's my 17th Birthday!!!!
Also, can we have a thread for predicting veteran reveals? This seems to be going in circles.


We don't really have to have an X & Y rep, especially when there's none to choose from. Sylveon would be great though. A Fairy Pokemon that represents the popular Eeveelutions. But, she'd probably replace Jigglypuff so no.
Happy Birthday, SaturnGamer64! It is really funny. It is also my little sisters Birthday. She just turned 18. She is actually going to get her license, RIGHT NOW. Haha. I am getting her Pokemon X for her Birthday. October 10th for the win!

Goomy would be a sick X and Y rep. Everyone loves Goomy.

I missed 711 messages. Last night must have been intense!
Need a break down?
- Gif city up in this ***** mostly from Johnknight
- We are spearheading the Jiggs vote movement
- The thread was told to calm the hype by M&SG
- Falkoopa has the hype train's back (as long as we don't go to overboard again)
- And I completely forgot our whole argument because hype set in

Plus the argument of whether or not Lucario replaced Mewtwo in Brawl. Again.

4 Third-Parties and none of them are Snake? Also, why do you keep adding characters that nobody even knows exists?
Who are you referring to?
Daitouryou because he is an important part of Nintendo's history, Hanafuda.
I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of Brain Age.
Prince Sable because I think he's a deserving retro, I heard Sakurai was a big fan of For the Frog the Bell Tolls. I would find a source for that, but MaesterMushroom won't tell me.

Well, I think part of last night included people thinking I was super creepy. I became Old Man Jones and wreaked havoc upon the neighborhood :awesome:
I know I said I would sic rabid Jigglypuff on you if you ever changed your avatar... but I really like this new Avatar.

Well chop-chop Morbit, those posts aint going to Like themselves. :troll:

Yeah it was pretty hectic, hopefully it will be all worth it by tomorrow....
If anything could top my two Brawl mains getting announced in the same month, it would be Mewtwo. I will hope, but I still have to bet on the Pokemon Trainer.

If Mewtwo gets announced than that will definitely be the most hype building and exciting thing ever for me. First Toon Link, my Brawl most wanted character and main at the end of last month and not too long after my lost Melee main and wanted character Mewtwo coming back? That's just too amazing for words I'm not even sure what I would say if/when I see it happening. Having Mewtwo confirmed would definitely bring my hype over the moon and I don't know what else to wish from Sakurai after giving me these two gifts and so soon as well. I'll probably be set and wait for the release of the game at that time.

I mean I could wait for the possible confirmation of the likes of Professor Layton and all but I'm not sure how likely they are, so having at least Toon Link and Mewtwo back would be a great gift in its own, I'm not going to be greedy over it. :) And hey, Toon Link and Mewtwo finally together in the same game after the missed opportunity in Brawl? Awesomeness! : D

But yeah, I'll keep my bet on Pokemon Trainer as well for now, but like I said, having Mewtwo revealed instead would definitely not be disappointing for me. :)

I didn't even understand the ramifications of Mewtwo returning. I have been so desensitized to the notion that I completely forgot about how exciting and relevant his reveal would be. He was also one of my mains in Melee. I will admit, he wasn't like a major main. I just used him for fun. All of those memories. Burning out my Gamecube multiple times to unlock him. That is what it is all about. I didn't even think about the implications of his reveal. That would be so great. I would simply be ecstatic. That being said, I actually think that Jigglypuff and Lucario are the more likely reveals. I would love to be proven wrong though. Trust me.

It's my 17th Birthday!!!!
Happy birthday Saturn!
What if Sylveon gets revealed tomorrow? lol
I actually thought of that, it would be hilarious. But it would ultimately lead to Jiggs' or Lucario's fate.
No, sorry.
Too many cuts, Kawashima, Anna, Daitouryou (wut), and I hate to say it, but no Layton.
Oh, and Takamaru, Sable AND a Hanafuda rep is too much retro. Pick one (AKA Takamaru).

Also it's good to know that Sakurai knows every Nintendo character, so he may add anyone, even those characters that people don't know of.
I'm talking about characters for, even though we've done research on like every Nintendo character, we still don't know about them. There is no way it could have any significance if even the most knowledgeable Ninteno fans and Smash speculators don't know them.

How is Sable more deserving than any other retro? He's not popular, he's Japan-only, he's had one game and minimal cameos, and other characters have moveset potential as well.

Also, Sakurai didn't say that. If your only proof is someone who won't even give you a source, and no one else can corroborate, better just drop that idea. What we do know is he likes Mach Rider, he said Takamaru has had a chance at inclusion before, and I believe he said he likes Mole Mania and Panel de Pon. Nothing on Sable's game.

Also it's good to know that Sakurai knows every Nintendo character, so he may add anyone, even those characters that people don't know of.
That doesn't justify adding incredibly unlikely additions.

BluePikmin11, you do realize Mr. Hanafuda himself DOESN'T EXIST right? He's a character APPARENTLY you made up, as when I researched this creation it was you're own thread. That's like if I took my idea of Baby Yoshi and made it an actual prediction. Sakurai is almost certainly not going to add a character you created. (though I technically didn't create Baby Yoshi, I used the fan art.)

WELL....
Baby Yoshi already existed. In like 1991.


And Mr. Game and Watch didn't exist before Melee.
Although his sprite did appear in many G&W games.

Let us not even forget that Sora Ltd. already has all of the significant Nintendo characters in this game. I think the focus of Smash 4 is going to be bring back all Brawl veterans and possibly Mewtwo and Roy. I do not think that Sakurai is going to go crazy with Newcomers. ESPECIALLY third party newcomers.

I think most people can agree that these are some of the most likely characters...
Palutena (Sora Ltd. revived Kid Icarus Uprising which was indeed succesful)
Dixie/K. Rool (We know we are getting another DK rep)
Little Mac (The stage and Assist Trophy)
Random Retro (Most likely Takamaru)
Ridley

Maybe: Mii and/or Pacman

These are the only characters that are really "likely or essential". That already eats up 6 roster slots in addition to the 3 newcomers already coming. I don't anticipate much more than 10 newcomers at all. This is even leaving out worthy characters like Samurai Goroh and Porky (because their series are dead) and worthy franchises like Zelda and Mario.

The main point of this assessment? WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET A CRAZY THIRD PARTY CHARACTER.

If Takamaru doesn't make it, I'm vouching for Mach Rider if not Balloon Fighter. Since Sakurai picks retro's based on preference.

Not this version:
I can't see it.

I think we can all agree Mewtwo will return. Roy is more debatable, and I think Chrom can be mentioned in here somewhere.
I agree with your "likely" choices. I can't see this game without Little Mac, K. Rool, Palutena, or Takamaru (who should be mentioned in parentheses next to "Random Retro"), but you never know.

its probably because most of the actually good idea threads have already been made or discarded
So go post in those existing threads, don't make threads for decks of cards and system logos. :rolleyes:

If Takamaru doesn't make it, I'm vouching for Mach Rider if not Balloon Fighter. Since Sakurai picks retro's based on preference.
If Sakurai picked retros based on preference the first one we would've gotten is Mach Rider, that's his favourite.

I do not appreciate what happened here during my absence last night. This is a warning to let people know that the next time this thread gets heavily spammed, it will be receiving a time out.
The L0TUS is confused. Why are the participants of the roster prediction discussion thread being punished for trying to predict the roster's next reveal? :confused:
