Starting Roster Inference

[Frogla]

Ok prepare to be semi amazed, I am going to try to lay out the next few weeks update. So from the looks now we have 18 icons out. IMO I think we are going to get our taste of the starting roster the next few weeks. 18 really is hardly a increase, but its great for a starting roster.
We have only got one blank spot for a old franchise and we are supposed to be getting a new third party for that and I’m sure they’ll throw another Nintendo franchise in so we wont have enough space for 18. But I mean if these 18 franchise are the starters wed be well set. I mean seriously if the franchise 13 is grouped between the fire emblem and ice climbers. And icons are ordered by series, if you have half a brain cell you know its game and watch.
So if it plays out for the next 7 weeks it should have around 5 or 6 more additions to the starting roster.
01-Smash-None
02-DK Series- DK, Diddy.
03-Fox Series-Fox
04-Kirby-Kirby and Metaknight
05-F-Zero-Captain Falcon
06-Metriod-Samus/ZSS
07- Mother- Ness or Lucas (for starting roster)
08-Pokemon- Pikachu and Pokemon Trainer
09-Zelda- Zelda/Sheik,Link
10-Mario- Mario,Peach, Bowser
11-Yoshi-Yoshi
12-Fire Emblem- Ike
13-Game and Watch- Game and Watch
14-Ice Climber- Ice Climber
15-Animal Crossing-Some Animal Crossings Character
16-Wario-Wario
17-Snake-Snake
18-Pit- Pit

From this it looks like we have 4 more character updates left to go over. And that’s assuming that we have no more other characters to add to other represented franchise. But folks our starting roster looks around 23-26 characters(Not counting transform characters).
And updating on
1.Game and Watch
2.Assumably Ness or Lucas
3.Going to go on a limb and say Tom Nook or AC PC
4.Captain Falcon
(Also add in the probability of Marth returning and being a starter or the option of Ganondorf or Falco/Krystal/Wolf becoming a starter)
That’s assuming a lot but I have made my call, call my bluff if you shall. Oh BTW when i make a educated guess i am usually correct.

I think your going on somewhat of a stretch when you put Mr. Game and Watch along with the either of two animal crossing characters, but other than that it's a pretty solid starting lineup. Also, what about Jiggly Puff? She's an original of course.

 

[Frogla]

OK Mario riddle me this, i put these guys in the order there icons line up. You may notice icons are seperated into 3 section
Oringinal (Those appearing in smash 1), Melee (appearing in 2) and Brawl from ice climbers down.
How is it a strech if the only possible charachter that could fit in between Fire Eblem and Ice Climber is GandW. When there were only those 3 new franchises in melee

That or Sakurai is messing with us all and the Icon Theory is a lie. Personally I want G&W back, if only for his originality, but I don't trust crazy Japanese people...

Netither do i good sir...Neither do I.

I dont believe Animal Crossings will have a playable character

You have no reason not too, every place or item that came from a game represented by a charachter has a franchises symbol. AC icon represent the Assist, Item and Stage. While Demon World who is also a Nintendo Franchise doesnt have a icon. Also Bumper came from Pinball and it has no icon If there were no charachter there would be no icon. Its that simple

I saw a couple mistakes just scanning through...
1. Shiek won't be in the game, because Zelda never transformed into Shiek in TP.
2. Pit is from Kid Icarus, not from a game called Pit.

1.Zelda never used Dins Fire in TP but she can use it in Brawl. Samus could only lose her suit thru battle in a GBA game, does that mean ZSS should have GBA graphics? The model really means nothing about the personal charachter its just a representation of the most recent incarnation.
2. Kind of on purpose but i really diddnt care to fix it, I mean you get the jist of it anyway.

 

[Brockman5]

I dont think GaW will be a starter but i do think he will be in the game...

 

[Frogla]

Game and Watch was a suprise charachter, he was good as a suprise once but now i think he needs to become a team starter like ness and Cf did

 

[Big-Cat]

We might also get Jigglypuff and Luigi as defaults.

also the guy that makes zelda games or what ever (i dont know lol, i just know it was someone important) sended the designs for ganondorf and sheik, and I guess ganondorf is TP Ganondorf, and they made Sheik more TP like, he didn't say if Sakurai was going to put them in but there is still the possibility.
and also, the TP Zelda-doesnt-turn-into-sheik thing is stupid becouse Zelda (not even the OoT one) never used any of her specials, Din's Fire, Farore's Wind and Naryu's Love...Link did, OoT Link, the one that is not in Brawl...but you can still see those powers (well...atleast Din's Fire and Farore's Wind) in Brawl, do you?

Captain Olmair..?

Shiek has a good chance of making it in...Also, if you notice...This Zelda looks similar, but is NOT the TP Zelda


SO does Game & Watch for his doubters (Have a good chance)

 

[Frogla]

Captain Olmair..?

Hey i would put him in there in a heart beat. But at the moment we have 18 starter series,and from the looks of it hes not at the card as of now. He's probalby a unlockable but it looks like all the starter franchises are filled.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Yeah, that's definitely only the starter franchises, shame on those people who think it's not. As we still need Sonic's logo, amoung others.

 

[Artc]

First, this is a starter list, Olimar, and whoever else you guys mentioned, could still be in the game according to this list. Second, I'm not sure agree with AC, but it's a pretty solid list.

 

[Frogla]

the AC charachter i gave i know is probably off but i gave the reason why it does have a charachter on the bottom area of the 1st page. The coming weeks will either prove my inference or blow wholles in it

I think the characters that were shown to us are the characters on the main interface except for Snake. Sakurai said he was making all 3rd parties secret characters.

And so far we have seen all of these characters on the cover of the game so I don't think the would put hidden characters on the cover.

 

[Frogla]

Snake = Starter. Im pretty sure since were probably not going to get unlockables till after release.
And Sakuria can change his mind, im sure he will go and suprise us.

 

[UsernameLink]

if there are ment to be 40 characters, there must be alot to unlock with 18 starters

 

[Frogla]

No,18 starter franchises 23-26 starter. Some frachies have more than one starter.

 

[Frogla]

bump....10 chars

You dont know who weve seen on the boxart because its not released yet...the ones you have seen are just temporary...

And...his mind could have changed..

 

[Frogla]

Well then Lucas should be on the box, But anywho 1/4 the way to victory

 

[Brockman5]

so far this is right but everyone already knew that there would be an earthbound....starter...

 

[Frogla]

Of couse everyone knew but "Im really good at putting the peices together *holds up two pickles*"
