And ROB 64 from the Star Fox games is named for him.

ROB isn't forgotten, just rare.

Not to mention the Wii Fit Trainer is representing the Wii Fit series as a whole, which is also an important part of Nintendo history.

Though I think saying Sakurai put him/her in just for the sake of adding an Unexpected Character is caricaturing it. He obviously has other reasons.

Oh, and welcome to the club.grin

I just want to say that I'd only want Lucas gone if it meant he was being replaced by Duster or Kumatora.

After seeing some Hyrule Warriors screens, I'm wondering about Impa's chances again.

Well, seeing as it's being released so close to Smash Bros, I doubt Hyrule Warriors will influence Impa's chances to be playable in Smash.

Maybe as a DLC character, if they end up having those.

Well, that depends on how long Hyrule Warriors has been in development/how long the concept for Impa as she is in that game has been known.

I think having Impa in when we already have Sheik (who has been separated from Zelda this time to boot) would be redundant. I doubt we need two playable Sheikahs.

As of Hyrule Warriors, the redundancy thing is kinda not there. Shiek's fighting like a ninja, whereas HW Impa is swinging around a 2-handed long sword and summoning ethereal blades with magic circles.

Well, Smash Bros started development in early 2012, and Hyrule Warriors wasn't announced until December 2014, so it seems likely that Hyrule Warriors didn't even start development until after Smash Bros was well underway.

Seems like the only really comparable situation would be Roy in Melee, and I imagine quickly adding in a clone to represent a new game would take much less time than adding a totally unique character.

[up][up]I admit I didn't know about Impa's playstyle in Hyrule Warriors, so you may be right, but if we were to get a Zelda newcomer, I'd rather get Tingle, since he got two spinoffs (three if you count Tingle's Balloon Fight), no less. Of course, considering his impopularity in occident, it's unlikely he'll ever get in.

[up]Don't you mean December 2013?tongue

Considering the roster has been fixed since before previous E3, I doubt Sakurai even considered her. And considering his goal this time is to make characters as unique possible while keeping the games balanced, I doubt he'd add a cheap clone at the last minute just for the sake of promoting a game that will come out around the same time as Smash Bros. for 3DS anyway.

I think at the very least Impa would be Sheik's alternate costume, if Sakurai bothers to give every character one. And if he wants to make alternate costumes be base on another character or not.

I really like Ike's new design especially that shoulder shield thingy. He also looks much older and it looks like he stands a lot more sturdier.

From 2007. Seriously, this look predates Brawl, you guys. :P

Yeah, I mean, we've only mentioned that it's his RD design how many times?

Likewise, Marth's design for For is his New Mystery outfit.

[up]RD Ike was also a sticker in Brawl, if I recall.

Marth in is NM outfit makes me hope that it's because Lucina has her normal outfit and they didn't want to confuse people with two fighters with identical outfits.

...Probably not.

Here's something important to remember regarding cuts people. Sakurai generally doesn't plan to cut anyone. Mewtwo, Roy, and Dr. Mario were all planned to return to Brawl, meaning Young Link and Pichu were the only ones that were probably cut early on. And well, Young Link got a clean replacement in Toon Link while Pichu is Pichu.

Looking at 4, the likely cuts seen right now are Snake, Squirtle, and Ivysaur. Snake is because of 3rd party issues, so he's got separate issues, though it's easily believable that he'll make it back. The Pokemon meanwhile have the issue of, what is enough Pokemon? Pokemon may deserve to have the most reps, but once you factor in Jigglypuff and Mewtwo, and then other possible candidates such as Sceptile and Genesect, eventually someone can't make it. I suspect those two or three are the only planned cuts.

Kojima told the press that Sakurai is free to use Snake whenever he wants to, so there are no issues with him coming back aside from time and limited space.

Tell that to all the people who thought Ike and Lucario were going to get cut.tongue
