*thread hop*

In this thread, are there any characters which are generally agreed upon to be getting in the new games, aside from ones which have already been confirmed?

Chrom and Palutena are probably the big ones. Nobody here would be surprised if they got in and everybody expects it for the most part. Ridley and Mewtwo are viewed this way by many as well but it's not universal.

Palutena and, to a lesser extent, K.K.Rool.

I want K. Rool more, but I can see Dixie coming in easily due to her being planned for Brawl.

But yeah, Chrom and Palutena do look very likely. Ridley is completely untellable in reality. He may or may not be in at this point, as Sakurai just refuses to do nothing but tease us about his role in it. Never mind that we could get him playable and as a Stage Hazard similar to Toon Link. So it's pretty much just a wait at this point.

People here still think Ridley as well? :/

Bah. We'll find out in a few months. Personally, I'm doubting it, and have for several years.

Frankly I'd be shocked if Chrom isn't in.

I prefer Lucina, but yeah Chrom is pretty much a shoo-in. Maybe he'll even have a tag team mechanic and share with Lucina (or Robin for that matter).

Chrom's odds are tempered slightly by the possibility of getting Lucina, or even someone else. An Awakening rep is guaranteed though, and Chrom is the most likely choice. Palutena is basically a shoe-in at the moment.

I wouldn't say certainties, only because Sakurai might pull a fake out on us. After Greninja and WFT, I wouldn't put a guaranteed sticker on anything.

Watch the Fire Emblem rep be Anna instead or something. no lie that would actually be really cool

I'd prefer Robin for Awakening, honestly. S/he's just as important to the game as Chrom, and I'd argue s/he's actually a measure more important, and would show off a different method of fighting, what with Tactcian being half a magic class.

And I'd also say that a Kid Icarus rep is definitely possible, and I'd say either Medusa or Palutena are the most likely for that.

Remember, preferences and likelihood are two different things. I'd much prefer Robin or Anna or Chrom, but Chrom is much more likely than them, no matter how much I wish otherwise. Still, there's enough uncertainty with the Awakening rep that he's below Palutena in likelihood.

I should also note that Sakurai has avoided calling Palutena by name in the Potd. Not sure if that means anything, but it's notable. Rids also has that issue oddly enough.

Yeah, Chrom is virtually guaranteed to be in it since Smash has traditionally included the first Lord (Marth) and the most recent (Roy then Ike).

I still want Palutena to be in it. Can't say why but I really do.

Maybe he could add Anna and Chrom.

Sabbo Since: Jan, 2001
#41414: Apr 13th 2014 at 4:43:13 PM

As I see it, Palutena is merely possible, not likely. An Awakening rep is near-certain, but Lucina - as mentioned - takes certainty away from Chrom. Ridley, as I see it, is unlikely for various reasons, the most recent of which being what I identify as a double bluff in the recent Direct. Mewtwo is possible as well, but I wouldn't put any bets on it. K Rool seems unlikely to me, although I'd say Dixie has a decent chance - About as good as Chrom or Lucina idividually, although not as good as both. If that makes sense.

EDIT: And Anna just seems silly for a choice.

Yes, they tend to go with the main character. Which is why I said Robin, and not, like, Tharja or something.

And Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, and Dr. Mario aren't? At least she's actually relevant in the games.

Dr Mario is silly, Sheik hits the grandfather clause, and Zero Suit Samus hits half of a grandfather clause while also being a decent fighter. (Although I'd've probably preferred another hunter from Hunters or Corruption instead. :/)

What's silly about Dr. Mario?

Just because Mario's normal iteration is a plumber, and the Dr. Mario is like at the opposite end of the career ladder...

But then how much actually plumbing does Mario ever do? [lol]

Unless kicking things out of pipes counts as plumbing.

You know what I like most about the split between Zelda and Sheik?

It means we can assume Sheik is actually OOT Zelda while Zelda is TP Zelda, rather than TP Zelda somehow turning into Sheik. Which means we have two different Links and two different Zeldas.

Why assume Anna would be a worse fighter than Chrom? Also, if ZSS being in Brawl "hits half of a grandfather clause", if Anna actually was in SSB4 wouldn't the same be true of her after a while?

Y'know, I hardly think two games of FE reps are enough to determine an undeniable pattern to begin with, but at any rate I wouldn't be so confident about Chrom or Lucina being included for one reason - just look at all the new characters that have been revealed so far. Sakurai is clearly considering unique gameplay potential to be a huge factor in determining who he adds in this one. Chrom and Lucina are basically the farthest you can get from having unique gameplay potential outside of, like, Pichu.

[up][up]Clearly they should add Pig Ganon as the sixth Zelda rep now.

Eh, I think you could differ Chrom fairly well, what with the shield and the lances and such.

You could differ with Robin, or even Micaiah, a lot more, as magic has yet to be represented by any FE reps.

It's too bad the trophy quiz made me give up on the possibility of Tiki, for similar reasons. FE is so diverse in fighting styles, outside of its main characters.

I have similar reasons for nursing a vain hope of seeing someone from Mother who isn't one of the psychic schoolboys wielding lengths of wood. There's fist-fighing mages, a dog, a kid with rayguns, and a dude wielding wall staples.
