I kinda doubt another third party right now.

But a BIG reveal? With a BIG names Nintendo star?

There's only one person big enough for that a reveal that big: everyone's favorite 6 lettered space dragon. Palkia.

I am having far too much fun today.

So... the Xenoblade writer retweeted the announcement?

Well, that's obvious proof that they like spreading Nintendo news.

Why Shulk and not the protagonist from Xenoblade Chronicles X?

I think it'll probably be Shulk in all honesty. I'm counting the retweet as a non-factor since I think I heard someone say that person retweets a whole lot of this stuff. Shulk would still be the obvious choice anyway.

Only a few of these are new, but here's a bunch of hi-res Smash 4 pics.

I figured i'd single out this one, though, since it looks like Pikachu, Samus and Brawler Mii are on either 3DS!Final Destination or a touched-up version of Brawl's Final Destination as a Past Stage.

[up][up][up][up]Possible, but Shulk is a far more established character as far as the fans are concerned, and X is in a very Splatoon-esque situation at the moment.

[up]I believe that's just a slightly remodeled Trophy Stand.

Why Shulk and not the protagonist from Xenoblade Chronicles X?

I don't think there is a default protagonist for X. The player makes their character, and as far as I know, there isn't a possible "generic" appearance like, say, Robin has.

[up]Also even though Xenoblade Chronicles X has the Xenoblade Chronicles name it is a spiritual successor and not a sequel.

But yeah you create the character and there might be a default preset but you can choose every different feature you want the character to look like.

There's also the fact that the game's roster was finalized two years ago. Who knows how far into development X was at that point whereas Xenoblade just had a very successful American release.

Hmm, I notice a lot of those pictures are showing the custom moves of Mario and the Mii Brawler. I wonder if they're going to add more info on customization to the website soon.

Oh hey, Ki-Hunters in Smash Run. Nice to see Metroid getting some enemies after all.

I wonder why they used Ki-Hunters instead of Space Pirates.

Any chance of a third FE character?

There's definitely going to be one. It would be silly to not have a character to represent the most recent game especially when that's the game that saved the franchise from cancellation.

[up][up][up]I'd say because you could get the model from Other M, but that game did have Zebesians...

We'll probably get Zebesians in Ridley's Final Smash. I'm also the only person who's noticed that it's Geemers in Smash Run, not Zoomers. Huh.

[up]Not to mention most people will recognize Chrom from Fire Emblem instead of Smash Bros., hehe.

[up][up]Eh, I wouldn't bet on it. I mean, it's possible, but they may not see "saved a long-running franchise from cancellation" to be a good enough reason for inclusion. Especially since Fire Emblem only sells on average 300K copies in Japan (with the same amount in America and Europe each), so it's not one of the really big franchises.

That's definitely a good reason although I'm expecting an Awakening character regardless. Keeping Ike but not adding a new character would just be stupid so the fact that he's in tells me that FE's representation has been expanded to three.

Chrom is in the Gematsu leak. Chrom is a FE character. I'd say the chances are pretty good.

Seriously speaking, Fire Emblem's rotating cast means it's more or less guaranteed to get someone from the newest game, like Pokemon. Since Awakening was the newest game and already has a stage, there's no reason to believe we won't get an Awakening rep.

Then Chrom is most likely. Though I'd be completely fine with Lucina or Robin. I still have my dreams of Ephraim or Hector on a shelf somewhere.

You know, there's only one character that would disappoint me on Monday. I'm expecting Shulk, and I'm cool with him. He's not my favorite character or anything, and I haven't gotten that far in Xenoblade, but he's legit. Part of a new rising IP. It won't be Chorus Men, but if it was them I'd be fine. Haven't played Rhythm Heaven, but it's decently big from what I've heard, so I have no issues with it getting a rep. And of course a non-Gematsu character would lift dampened expectations.

So that leaves Chrom as the sole disappointment. I kind of feel sorry for him, seeing how he's going to get so much hate. Not sorry enough to want him in, but enough that I won't dread him.

Characters trailers got me feeling neutral about Pacman and mildly positive about Miis, so if it's Chrom, I'd like to see what miracle they could pull to persuade me. And it had better be good, too, if that actually was the character they'd announce like "hey guys, look forward to this exciting character reveal oh gosh", because "it's OTHER SWORD GUY!" is not a terribly compelling thing to sell like that.

Well, it's a BIG announcement, right? So I can still hope it's Ridley.
