Hm, depending how you look at it, there's only been one fully male character (Little Mac) and one fully female character (Rosalina) confirmed. Villager and WFT are both, Mega Man is a robot, and Greninja is ambiguous.

Mega Man still seems distinctly masculine in gender even if he is sexless, so I think he counts.

He is named Mega Man of course. That's why I said depending on how you looked at it.

Now I'm wandering if it would be a good idea for Lucina to be a Marth costume. Eh, probably not. She's a distinct, separate character from him, even if they wield the same weapon.

At this point, especially after today, I'm riding the Robin hope train for a FE character that isn't another blue-haired sword guy.

There's no other way "to" look at it with Mega Man...Robots, especially robots like Mega Man in fiction have always been built to specifically be one gender or the other. If its not something that's displayed in their physical features then its something displayed in the personality.

[up]Right. You can tell that any robot master is male or female since they either have "Man" or "Woman" in their name.

No, this means we get gender swaps for every character. Lady Mario. Prince Peach. Female Pikachu. Queen Dedede. Mega Woman. Sheik and Marth's alternate counterparts look exactly the same though.

Dmitri Maximoff confirmed.

To be a little more accurate with our vocabulary here, Mega Man is definitely of the male gender, if not necessarily the male sex.

@Sterok: You know... female Pikachu would actually be a perfectly reasonable demand. It would literally only require a little notch at the tip of its tail. It's not like it would require a separate model or anything, you could just program both in and make it a yes/no variable.

Then there wouldn't be much point to it would it?

I really wish I had a .gif of Wario's epic rofl on the victory screen. It would make for a nice reaction image.

Fairly decent render of Bowser Jr. if he had been in Brawl

OMG! That's freaky looking. O_O

Mega Man is a robot

Um, yeah? The game clearly genders its robots, and they're even officially considered human later on, so I don't think that's relevant.

That's a meta-fictional view anyway, which is clearly contradicted by canon.

Reploids are considered on the same level as humans hundreds of years later. MM era robots aren't seen as human because they can't grow beyond their programming.

You know, despite the fact that I haven't play it in forever, whenever I think of a Smash Bros. announcer, I think of the one from Melee.

Unless that's the same one as the guy from Brawl.

Nah, there are three guys.

Smash 4's announcer should be someone famous. Like James Earl Jones.

Also, an intro that isn't gameplay footage and cutscene highlights.

Tara Strong for Sm4sh announcer. In the highest pitch she can manage.

Wait. Super Street Fighter II Turbo was a great Fighting game, right? Well, maybe the announcer should do a bad imitation of Big Bird. Then, this game will certainly be as popular as that. IT IS THE ONLY WAY!
