Hmm, I guess so - wonder how that'd pertain to Lucas being included and when the development started on him.
*War flashbacks to people wanting Chrom to replace Ike because he's tuh relevant bluehaired swordsman*
I imagined the development time of pre-planned DLC to be something like this...
Well, its not like if he get revealed at the E3 he will be decloned for sure. After all, beetwen the direct and the E3 there are only 3 weeks, its not like that make any difference! =D
I play Roy in Melee and im one of if not the only Real main here in AZ. im trying to become the best Roy in both games but more so PM since its better than melee imo
More like 2 weeks actually.
Great fundamentals and his Roy has a lot of potential. He seems to know the Marth MU pretty well. That foundation can definitely be built on, though, and he can certainly improve on his punish game and a large portion of his movement, he has some blindspots and weaknesses that really need to be ironed out. He does a lot of absolutely important things right that almost no Roys out there get, like fair/uair juggle/bair use, fair to fsmash, beating cc'ing early on with DED and grabs, recovery, Roy's tech chases, Roy's grab while the other character is landing, lightshield on platforms to be safe and near the edge vs. Marth for the Marthslayer, edgeguarding Marth, and he's proving some of my theories to be correct from more than one standpoint.
It seems like Lyndis, Micaiah, Tiki, and Anna are the most supported characters besides Roy and the only likely picks. I'd say Chrom but we already have two Awakening characters and he was given a disconfirmation interview, but Sakurai says a lot of stuff and he could be made unique if they really wanted to make him DLC. Plus he is requested a ton and there was a huge following for him pre-release, similar to Roy dropping from just below Mewtwo to top 5 in Japan. Some people say Hector and Ephraim but they're very overrated characters by a small niche of western fans, they aren't very popular in Japan, they have backseat roles to Eliwood, Lyndis, and Eirika who aren't playable in Smash, and I've never seen organized Smash support posts or threads for them anywhere, just people saying "why aren't they in smash when we have too many swordsmen?" or "why want Roy when you could want one of these unique guys?" or such. I've seen some Black Knight and Zephiel support, but it's very little and I think there's much better and more significant villain candidates for the roster like K. Rool and Wolf, and I'm not too keen on Fire Emblem villains joining Smash. I've seen Joshua, but no, just no, he isn't a very significant character, he's from a game I never saw as important or a large impact to Fire Emblem, and I'd rather have Lyndis use some of whatever a myrmidon-esque character would have. Just my two cents.
Micaiah is my favorite choice, but I too would love to see Tiki or Lyndis as playable characters... Anna is the "Cameo"... is her function... I don't see anything about her personally xD
How knows? Well...
I've been hoping for a while that if they went with 10 more characters to bump it up to 60, it'd be:
Okay, thanks for the information :3
I'm indifferent but seeing as how the fanbase is livid with the idea of 5 FE reps already, I doubt were going to see another FE rep really. FE getting DLC period was probably not going to happen but seeing as Roy is massively popular, it made sense that he would be an exception.
Well, we can't really know for sure, but we could make some educated guesses. I think Wolf has a good shot as well as K. Rool. Maybe another vet or two (since they're a safe bet for profit), like ICs if they could fix the technical issues. Maybe some unexpected characters? Who knows. Post-ballot characters are going to be interesting depending on who they might choose. I hope a lot of results are made public though. The data will be nice to have for future references.
If we do end up getting a roster with 60 characters or more... all I hope is that balancing won't be any trouble lol.
Since this is a Japanese Nintendo Direct, and Roy is a Japan exclusive character I think this Direct makes a lot of sense for him to get revealed. It's not the first time either, Shulk was officially revealed in a Japanese Direct as well. Roy is also heavily demanded in Japan, more the reason to show him off in this Direct.
At what time is the direct? Tomorrow? Thanks!
Tommorow at 7PM Japan-time, 3AM PT, 6AM ET, 11AM UK time and 12PM in Europe.
I wouldn't expect Roy's reveal here.. Sakurai hasn't retweeted the Direct announcement. He retweeted every other Direct that had a Smash reveal, including the Japan only Direct that revealed Shulk.Since this is a Japanese Nintendo Direct, and Roy is a Japan exclusive character I think this Direct makes a lot of sense for him to get revealed. It's not the first time either, Shulk was officially revealed in a Japanese Direct as well. Roy is also heavily demanded in Japan, more the reason to show him off in this Direct.
You could say the same for Lucas as he is also a Japan exclusive character, but Sakurai knows Mother 3 has a big cult following in the west. Hence why it was beneficial to show off Lucas in a worldwide Direct.
Please let Roy be revealed, make our boy happy!
Day before, I believe. I know for a fact that it wasn't after.
I hope this happens.
