[up] I'm sure it won't be her. Considering the roster was finalized before she could gain a good amount of popularity, there is no reason to assume she would have been chosen as the Awakening character instead of Chrom, Lucina or Robin.

And speaking of Chrom, IS should have made his primary weapon a lance.

I think that even though the roster was largely set before Awakening became the franchise's savior, the third character will still be from Awakening. It would have been the most recent FE regardless of popularity, and it was out several months before Pokémon XY. I just have my doubts that Sakurai chose Chrom, because he wants all the characters to feel unique. And Chrom's inclusion is pretty much Department of Redundancy Department incarnate. I think even Toon Link would be more unique than him.

If Sakurai wanted every character to feel unique, they'd have to make some preeeeeety big changes to Toon Link in just a few months. As it is, he feels like a wasted slot.

Also, Ike is extremely different from Marth, so why not Chrom?

Newcomers need to be unique. Veterans less so apparently.

[up][up][up] You can't guarantee that the only true clone (everyone else is either a semi-clone or not a clone at all) remaining in the roster would automatically be more unique than Chrom. At most he will probably be a semi-clone.

[up][up] Chrom can use Lances.

So, regardless, the reasonable Awakening characters are still Chrom, Avatar and Lucina, right?

I sure said that!

[up] Yes. Anna and Tiki were never Awakening characters, so even if you considered them at any point notable enough candidates (like me), they don't count.

Of course, Tiki has been disconfirmed.

Don't you hate it when you dream that Mewtwo and Captain Falcon have been confirmed for SSB 4, getting all excited, then waking up and realizing that you're not certain if they'll make it in? I know I do.

I have no doubts that Falcon is making it in. I have a couple about Mewtwo though.

[up] I have doubst about neither of those characters. I expect the final Pokemon characters to be Pikachu, Charizard, Greninja, Lucario, Mewtwo(unlockable) and Jigglypuff (unlockable).

I had a dream Black Shadow, Miles Edgeworth, Mine Turtle and some random anime character that doesn't exist made the cut, but Wario didn't. I was gonna get mad until I woke up.

I have 0 percent doubt Captain Falcon will make it back and 100 percent doubt Mewtwo will. Captain Falcon is basically tied with Wario as least likely cut right now while Mewtwo seems unlikely to me even if there is a 6th Pokemon, since I think they'd go for Sceptile then. And I find a sixth Pokemon unlikely anyway.

I think I had a dream way back that I was playing as Falcon (or my brother was Falcon and I was Ivysaur, I forget). His variant-Punch was really weak, but had little-to-no windup and threw him halfway across the stage horizontally.

On number of Pokemon: adding Jigglypuff and Mewtwo now would equal the number of Pokemon in Brawl, if you count each member of Pokemon Trainer's team as separate (and they basically are, in terms of distinct models and space requires in the data and effort to create), and adding Sceptile on top of that would give us just one more than Brawl.

[up] well, Xenoblade Chronicles X is the obvious one. Or would be, if it was actually a sequel to Xenoblade.

I'm beginning to think the voice actors are all just trolling at this point.

You know how Smash's version of Pacman has Pacman Eyes?

What if you looked closer and realized that Pacman's Pacman Eyes also had Pacman Eyes? And Pacman's Pacman Eyes' Pacman Eyes also had Pacman Eyes? And...
