I only think we will get all four if DLC characters happen, of which I can see only Marth and Chrom being on disc, while Sakurai making Roy and Ike DLC.Apparently all four is not an option.
Nah, only Chrom is on-disk.I only think we will get all four if DLC characters happen, of which I can see only Marth and Chrom being on disc, while Sakurai making Roy and Ike DLC.
Roy is at the very least going to be luigified if he comes back. I can see him getting Ike's Eruption (and maybe Final Smash) if he comes back.Would Roy be a clone again or actually be given a real moveset? I mean, I don't get why we're demanding a clone of an existing character who had no new game given since the year after Melee's release.
The only two cut Melee characters with a likely possibility of returning are Mewtwo and Roy. Young Link will only come back if he is swapped back with Toon Link (meaning it will either be Toon Link or Young Link on the roster). So I don't understand why you say "we can only put our best bets on the returning clone characters" when Dr. Mario and Pichu don't really have a shot at all, and Young Link's shot only hinges upon what Sakurai plans to do with the "child Link" spot.Okay Chrono I get it (and this is why I think Smash Bros seems just... ... ... )
*Sigh* But gosh. I wish I'd be now feeling bit more hyped about the roster, because so far from what I hear we can only put our best bets on the returning clone characters (save for Mewtwo). But to be honest, I tend to always feel like the roster won't be much pleasing me at the end. But I can blame only myself for not supporting what's popular or what's likely than my personal wishes (who I honestly think aren't likely safe for Saki or Palutena)
Ah, well checking that Doc being planned to Brawl, I'm wondering if he's brought back again. Pichu maybe not but we're gonna definitely see a "child Link" again.The only two cut Melee characters with a likely possibility of returning are Mewtwo and Roy.

But I think still that we could use more diverse cast now since most of the famous and popular characters have been added now. We have enough of characters that would bring loads of hype but they're restricted because of one way or another, hindering their chances (like Toad because he's still a special move for Peach) or they seem not likely because they're either obscure or irrelevant (Which just makes feel like those who got in Smash are lucky since they'll be so loved by the fandom that they just are untouchable for most part)I understand your feeling about the roster not being as exciting as it was with Melee and Brawl, but for me its because most of the big names were already added in with the previous three installments.
I mean just compare K. Rool's resume and popularity with Diddy Kong's. K. Rool is one of the most wanted characters for Smash 4, yet his influence, presence, and popularity all pale in comparison to Diddy Kong (whom was one of the most wanted characters for both Melee and Brawl). Really, K. Rool really did not have his fanbase grow for Smash Bros. until Diddy Kong was confirmed for Brawl. K. Rool was not among the Top 10 most wanted characters for Brawl even after the Brawl unveil.
The pool of potential newcomers has much worse "starpower" than Melee and Brawl did. I am surprised more people have not said that feel less anticipation this time than they did when following Brawl (or Melee for the few of us that were around then).
From the perspective of someone who is a fan of gaming in general AND a fan of Nintendo in general BUT not a fan of the Fire Emblem series specifically, I think that from the most likely to the least likely would be:I think Marth, Ike, and Chrom is actually the least likely combination we will see.
Here is what I think is going to happen from most likely to least likely:
1. Marth, Roy, and Ike
2. Marth and Chrom
3. Marth, Chrom, and Roy
4. Marth and Ike
5. Marth, Chrom, and Ike
Keep in mind Roy is one of the two most wanted characters for Smash 4 in Japan, and Roy is one of the Top 10 most wanted characters in the West as well as the most wanted Fire Emblem character overall.
I too think Toad is one of the most deserving Nintendo characters left to be made playable. I think if he weren't a Peach special he would likely be a shoe-in for Smash 4.Ah, well checking that Doc being planned to Brawl, I'm wondering if he's brought back again. Pichu maybe not but we're gonna definitely see a "child Link" again.

But if we're getting even less of them this time actually, then I think Smash Bros would just feel complete in means of "deserving" characters.
But it leaves me kinda in a bitter side. (-l´l-)
Well, to be fair, "Blue-haired swordsman" is an apt description for most Fire Emblem leads.Really, aside from Toad, the only other Nintendo character that had major playable roles in a major Nintendo franchise is Dixie Kong, however, for some reason she is not as requested as K. Rool due to being "just another monkey", which is funny because many of those same people have no problem with another blue-haired powerhouse swordsman being added in.
And all Donkey Kong Country leads are monkeys. Anyway, I think that it is possible for Fire Emblem to get four characters but it most likely will be because Sakurai needed to buff the roster in the last minute with past characters that Sakurai originally cut from SSB4 (Ike then Roy).Well, to be fair, "Blue-haired swordsman" is an apt description for most Fire Emblem leads.
And I see no reason why there can't be 4 FE characters. Marth, Ike, Roy, and one other(possibly Chrom, possibly someone else) is pretty likely.
That's myth that most leads are blue-haired swordsman. The only blue-haired swordsman in the series are Marth, Ike, Sigurd, Celice, and Chrom. That is five lords out of 15 or 1/3.Well, to be fair, "Blue-haired swordsman" is an apt description for most Fire Emblem leads.
Alm has blue hair, sometimes. But yeah, you're right. Derp on my part.That's myth that most leads are blue-haired swordsman. The only blue-haired swordsman in the series are Marth, Ike, Sigurd, Celice, and Chrom. That is five lords out of 15 or 1/3.
Only 1/3 of the lords are blue-haired swordsmen. That is far from "most".
Alm only had blue-hair in-game for FE2 probably due to the Famicom's color hardware limitations (only so many colors could be used for a sprite). In mostof his artwork, Alm always had green hair. In his recent re-design for FE13, he has green hair as well. So he's a green-haired lord all in all.Shinpichu: Didn't Alm have green hair, mostly ranging from green to mint-green?
As I said, his hair color varies. In his in-game sprite, his hair is blue(probably due to color limitations). He also has blue hair in this image.Shinpichu: Didn't Alm have green hair, mostly ranging from green to mint-green?
Like I said earlier, Roy is one of the two most wanted characters in Japan. In the West, Roy is within the Top 10 most wanted characters, and is the most wanted Fire Emblem character overall. He is basically in the same situation as Mewtwo (though Mewtwo has the advantage of being more popular than Lucario everywhere).Fire Emblem characters always end up popular, even with people who never played the respective games. So whatever they chose, people are gonna eat it up anyway. Though, Fire Emblem was supposed to have 3 characters in Brawl if Roy was brought back. I don't think it's very unlikely to see 3 characters for Fire Emblem. Though, I'm doubting it's gonna include Roy.
This sums it up.It doesn't seem that hard to bring back the past, keep the present, and bring in the future so to speak. Besides, Mewtwo and Roy not appearing Super Smash Bros. Brawl was due to time and priority pushing them out of the way, not as a desire to bring in the new faces. Meaning that if Mewtwo and Roy were to come back, there is practically nothing stopping them from doing so aside from history repeating itself.
Ike seems most nearest to this (due some of his skills like Aether being made into specials), but Marth's and Roy's moves were made up completely for Smash Bros (due their games being strategy games and they don't have any moves which could've translated on Smash Bros.)i say roy is going to come back and it wont be hard because his move set can be changed easily,
all the fire emblem characters moves are based off the game.
meaning that it isn't out of possibility for the dev team change Roy's moveset if he returns.Ike seems most nearest to this (due some of his skills like Aether being made into specials), but Marth's and Roy's moves were made up completely for Smash Bros (due their games being strategy games and they don't have any moves which could've translated on Smash Bros.)
Roy had Sword Of Seals though which had the fire sword-attribute to it from his game.
Yeah I am really excited for the changes! Who knows what he may think up!meaning that it isn't out of possibility for the dev team change Roy's moveset if he returns.
by the way, Sakurai did say that there will be changes to some returning characters, so I will look forward to how drastic will these changes be.
