Does anyone else think it's probable that one of the two other Star Fox characters will get axed?

"Miis would be dumb!" —> "Three pretty good looking move styles? Nice."

"Chrom is another stupid blue haired lord with a sword!" —> ????
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."I had a theory that the Gematsu (is that how you spell it?) leaker works at E3 somehow and knew the Smash Bros characters that would be revealed there, and put in other characters he thought were probable. That would explain why Rosalina wasn't listed, why he put "Pokemon from X/Y", and maybe even why he put Animal Crossing Boy instead of Villager (maybe he saw part of his trailer, but forgot the name?)
Probably not what happened, but if Gematsu is the main topic of discussion now, figured I'd go ahead and throw that in there.
"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliteratorI think if any Star Fox character got axed, Wolf would go before Falco. Even though his moveset is more unique, Falco is extremely popular in Japan and has been in since Melee, while Wolf was the last character unlocked in Brawl.
I don't want to see either go, personally. I would like to see a moveset change or two, and of course different Final Smashes.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I think Chrom can be done well if they incorporate the Duel Support system in Awakening. So instead of the character being called "Chrom" he's really "Chrom and the Shepherds". His regular A attacks would be sword and lance strikes by himself, but when he uses special B moves, grabs, shields, and counters, he calls on other Awakening characters for help.
His regular B move summons Robin to launch a Thunder Attack that can be charged into a Thoron. His Up-B recovery move calls for Sumia to use an upward lance stab while carrying Chrom in a similar way to Pit's Power of Flight. Down-B calls Vaike to do a rotating Axe attack in both directions. Forward-B calls Frederick to charge ahead on his horse. Back-B calls Lon'qu to counter with a slash of his blade when hit. The shield is just Kellam blocking. One of Chrom's taunts summons Lissa to heal some damage.
Chrom's custom moves allow different characters to be used for moves in place of another (like Sumia can be replaced with Cordelia, Nowi, or Cherche for slightly different effects).
This way, every character can be represented.
inb4 Mii Fighters and Palutena, they don't just summon other people. They just have moves. Plus, I think that would diminish the uniqueness of those two.
Speaking of Mii Fighters, I wonder how you can customise them. Do you need to have Amiibo for them? Can you safe multiple movesets and looks for them or are you stuck with one character?

x4 Chrom could use two weapon types in Fire Emblem Awakening as a Great Lord Swords and Lances.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureYou could make Chrom into a Swordfighter Mii and you'd probably have something pretty close to how "unique" he'd be if be got his own slot.
In her default class line, swords and lances (the latter only upon promotion).

Now you're getting into the spirit!
Man, so much hate going on for Chrom here. Speaking of hate, am I the only one that finds it amusing that over half the newcomers announced are listed as BaseBreakers?
