So, of the confirmed newcomers, roster, and unrevealed veterans who is Everyone planning to main?

Since Toon Link (my Brawl main) is back I plan on using him, but for the most part I'm going to use Mega Man. Because Rock is awesome.cool

Jolly good pagetopper indeed. :3

[up]Out of the newcomers, Wii Fit Trainer and Rosalina and Luma. As for veterans, Toon Link so far.

[up][up]I have no idea.

I'll have to see whether or not the veterans are changed but so far I have a fondness for Sonic, Mega Man, Rosalina, Olimar, and Pit. Wii Fit Trainer is also a possibility depending on how she plays.

So when do you think they'll finish with the veterans? I have a feeling they're trying to hold off on most of the newcomers and save them for last. My theory is that by the end of E3 we'll know all the veterans and another newcomer will be announced. Then from E3 until release we'll see the rest of the newcomers.

Hard to say. They seem to only reveal the veterans if either A) a game of theirs has just been released/re-released, so Sakurai gives them the spotlight for a while, or B) there's some other meaningful reason to introduce a vet. So far, I don't think any of the vets have been revealed without some sort of special implication given for them on the day of each individual vet's reveal (though I'm probably wrong on that one since I don't think Marth's reveal coincided with anything other than Awakening - or was it Shadow Dragon? -, which didn't technically star him).

That said, anyone feel free to correct me on this. I'm quite sure I'm just forgetting details or misremembering things anyway.

On the same note, what I want to know is, who will be the "old-school" surprise reps in this installment, if any? I don't think the first game really had anynote , but the Ice Climbers were the surprise rep in Melee, as well as Mr. Game & Watch. Brawl gave us a redesigned Kid Icarus Pit and R.O.B., so I'm sort of anticipating a trend here. This is sort of the reason I'm leaning towards Little Mac being playable, but who knows...

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, the Ice Climbers and Pit probably fit into a different category than what I was thinking of. They seem to fall under a "Oh crap! Wasn't expecting that character!" category, which, as far as the fourth game is concerned, consists of both the Villager and the Wii Fit Trainer for now.

@NES Classic:

  • Vets: Peach of course, and Pit, now that I've played a little of Kid Icarus Uprising (which I still haven't beat; the control scheme is kicking my ass). Toon Link and Samus as well. I'm hoping Pokemon Trainer makes it in since he was my primary main in Brawl.

  • Newcomers: Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, and Rosalina & Luma.

[up]I don't think Little Mac would count as a "suprise" old-school rep, given his Wii game and how he was an Assist Trophy in Brawl.

Surprise old school reps tend to be the ones that aren't referenced too much in Smash beforehand.

EDIT: Pokemon Trainer was also my main in Brawl, but nowadays I kinda realise I was more interested in him for the concept, as he's a little awkward to use gameplay-wise. Well, mainly Charizard as he's kinda slow, but yeah.

Still think Pokemon Trainer's awesome though.

Little Mac already seems somewhat likely given the boxing ring and his Wii game.

A surprise old school rep would be someone like Balloon Fighter or Takamaru.

Ok, I took a quick trip through Wikipedia and saw that Kirby: Triple Deluxe is coming January 11 in Japan. So chances are that maybe they'll announce King Dedede, Meta Knight, or both around that time. Does this sound logical at all?

#30085: Dec 21st 2013 at 6:39:16 AM

[up][up]Is Takamaru expected? I haven't heard anyone suggest him.

[up]It's not a sure thing but that seems pretty likely.

[up]I've seen him show up on a lot of wishlists and fan rosters nowadays.

Also, I don't think Balloon Fighter's gonna happen considering Villager stole the move that would be his recovery.

Some people (me included) want Takamaru, and are thinking he has a shot, due to him showing up in Nintendoland alongside larger Nintendo franchises (and Balloon Fighter), which gives one the impression that he's not forgotten.

There is the whole Nintendoland thing.

Anyway, Marth was my main in Melee and Brawl so I'll probably stick with him. As for newcomers, anyone that's gimmick based like Rosalina and Megaman.

Out of the vets: Hard to say. Sonic, Bowser, Kirby?

Now, what really would be a truly unexpected surprise old-school character would be Mach Rider.

Imagine if they brought him back. Like, he wouldn't fight on his bike (except for Final Smash/Special Move), but he'd be this really tough guy who fights brutally with curb stomps and powerful hits and stuff.

[up]Well now that I think about I did see to side by side screenshots of the game where the Mach Rider is standing there and one is in the suit and the other is a chick.

Well, she'd be this really tough woman then. tongue

EDIT: Man, the trophy in Melee didn't even make me think it was a woman.

DOUBLE EDIT: No, actually I'm pretty sure he's a guy.

Newcomers: Mega Man (just to try out.)

None of my Brawl mains (Ice Climbers, Lucas, and Ike) have been shown yet...as for newcomers, Villager looks like fun, so I'll try him.

My Brawl mains, Wario and G&W, haven't shown up yet. I did use Toon Link, Luigi, DK, and Bowser quite a bit, though.

As for newcomers, Villager and Mega Man look the most fun, but Wii Fit Trainer could be easily a favorite.

As far as vets go, I've mained Mario since the original SSB, and I'll continue to do so with Sm4sh. But I played as Wario a lot in Brawl, as well.

For confirmed newcomers, I'm definitely gonna give Mega Man and Rosalina a try.

And if Little Mac makes it in, there's no doubt that I'll main him.

...hmm, I tend to main characters based on how much I like them in their original games, it seems.
