Warlocks are always evil in fiction.

No, a D&D player can totlly be a Lawful Good Warlock. Warlock powers tend to come from evil sources, but not always. In 4.0, there are pacts with beings who are more inscrutable than actually evil. Heck, in 3.5 D&D, a Warlock has his power because he's the descendent of someone who made a Deal with the Devil.

In Harry Potter, it's more of a political term. Dumbledore was Chief High Warlock of the Wizengamot at one point.

What the term means, and what it means in relation to "Wizard", "Sorcerer", "Magician", or just plain "Mage" depends heavily on what setting you're in, and who you're talking to.

Also, if we're using Dungeons and Dragons terminology, a female warlock is called a warlock.
Warlocks are entities with innate access to eldritch magic.
Witches are a homebrew class in 3.5

Changing the subject back to Smash Bros...

Who wants to bet that we'll get a character from Namco Bandai (not just popular ones like Pac Man or Klonoa, I mean any character from Namco Bandai).

[up]My money is on a Meteos stage, but that's more me being hopeful than anything.

I can't think of any Namdai characters that I'd actually want, though.

I can think of a few. Tales comes to mind, nd I usppose Klonoa would be a very good chacer as well.

I was hoping the Namco-Bandai characters I wanted were KOS-MOS (Xenosaga) and Kalas (Baten Kaitos) since Namco-Bandai owns the characters but Nintendo owns the company that made those games, Monolith Soft.

I hope we get some more interesting Event matches this time around, since advanced character customization is going to be a thing.

[up][up]Being able to create our own Event matches was something that I've wanted to see for a while now, especially with online sharing.

Provided they give the user a good variety of tools to work with rather than just tossing the feature out there like with Brawl's Stage Builder, anyway.

Who wants to bet that we'll get a character from Namco Bandai (not just popular ones like Pac-Man or Klonoa, I mean any character from Namco Bandai).
That technically applies to any third party character, and Sakurai seems to have internal rules regarding on which of a third-party's characters are "eligible" to be in Smash.

So yeah, any of the "forgotten" Namco characters could pop up in Smash, assuming they (as in Namco) have a chance, but for the most part, I'd expect them to play it safe and choose Pac-ky, Klonoa, a Tales series character, or a Soulcalibur series character (of which I'd expect to be Nightmare/Seigfried, Sophitia, or Misturugi to be the rep) as a Call-Back the fact that Link crossed over into that series already.

[up][up][up]What's this about advanced customization?

[up]Ivy would be the most likely.

1) Why Porygon2 over Porygon Classic? Is it just a "let's put a pokemon in from a generation other than 1" thing?

2) [up][up] Yeah, this is the first time I've heard anything about any kind of character customization aside from speculation that "maybe you can switch around Mega Man's moves".

Why Ivy? The unique properties of her whip sword?

Actually, that's a pretty good idea.

Can we use her P2 outfit from SC 2, though?

[up] They've said in interview and stuff that there'd be some form of customization as far back as E3 2012.

[up][up][up]Not that I don't want her in, but I don't think she's the most likely; I'd say she has about as equal a chance as Sophitia and Taki, since those three are most recognizable females of the series.note  However, Nightmare and Seig are basically the faces of the series, even before they split to wield both the Soul Swords, and Mitsurugi is pretty much the Wolverine of the series, so I'm kind of anticipating them over the others, if any of these characters are considered at all.

[up]I'm not worried about her outfit; both her original look or her Vth look could work in Smash in my opinion.

I'd rather Takamaru than Mitsurugi, for a samurai.

Oh yeah him.

...Well, I say that, but I don't really know who he is. I know he popped up in Nintendo Land though. I'll look him up later I suppose, but if he's very versatile, then I'd like to see him get into Smash too.

They can maybe give him the clay bombs from Nintendo Land also, along with the special abilities that you could use.

If he is included, what sort of visual style should they depict him in? Something more faithful, like Game & Watch and the Ice Climbers, or a re-interpretation similar to Pit?

Depending on whether more emphasis is given to his sprites or original art, he could look like anything from this to this.

[up]His look in Samurai Warriors 3 looks more faithful to his original art so I would be okay if they used that model for Takamaru.

I'm guessing they'd go more for something like his Samurai Warriors look than his ultra-stylized look from Captain Rainbow.

I'd prefer him faithful to his original design, as I would for any new character. For their main costume, at least.
