Also, his inclusion in the Robin/Lucina poster makes him look like a giant badass Big Good figure.

I sure said that!

Is it possible for something to just be funny even if it's unfounded? No, Chrom isn't really getting a raw deal here (insofar as a fictional character can get a raw deal), but it's fun and funny to joke about.

The fact that the trailer showed him laying in the "Yamcha Pose" might have something to do with it, though. The first few edits were related to that, and it snowballed from there I guess.

To be fair, even that's a reference- Specifically, one of the very first things the player sees in Awakening is a vision of Chrom dying.

Chrom: a loser since his first moments.

To me it has always stemmed mostly from the ending of the trailer, where Chrom is lying with his face in the dirt while everyone else is fighting and being badass, giving a resigned "Maybe I'll get my chance...another day". It gets nullified immediately afterwards by the reveal that he actually is included, but it was still a really funny scene.

Hey, it was implied that Chrom put up a good fight, and he does show up in the new Smash. Just not enough to gain his place in the roster, unlike his daughter and friend/lover/in-law. tongue

I don't know if you noticed this, but the WARNING: CHALLENGER APPROACHING! banners for Robin, Lucina and Falcon has been removed from the website. Maybe we'll get a reveal (so soon after Robin and Lucina)?

Maybe the eShop jumped the gun, and Wario is revealed tomorrow?

Its not likely but daggumit I want HD Wario already!

If we are getting someone soon (which I still doubt), I bet it'll be Chorus Kids. Wario goes with them perfectly, and he was leaked after all.

I'd rather the Chorus Kids get revealed with Jigglypuff, for obvious reasons.

If Jigglypuff gets the boot, her fans will get mad.

If she gets in, everyone else will complain it's a waste of a slot.

Jigglypuff has been a staple since the beginning.

And there are no "slots". They could put in a hundred characters if they had the patience for it.

So, no "4 character per franchise" rule actually exists?

No, it's just been an unofficial standard (similar to the "Original 12", actually), and even then, Dr.Mario nipped that bud before it even grew.

That was broken in Melee when Mario and Zelda had 5 characters. Then in Brawl Zelda had 5 while Pokemon had 6. So it never existed.

Oh, right.

So Ganondorf could still get back in even though we have 4 Zelda characters, right?

There could be a truly immense number of characters included if time, money and data size constraints weren't real issues to consider. As it is in this reality, they have to set priorities and set them early.

And with Rosalina, Mario is back up to 5 characters anyway.

[up][up]Bear in mind that while Sheik is given her own slot this time, she was still considered a separate character back in Melee and Brawl. Zelda series has had 5 characters in Melee and Brawl, and likely will have Ganny-boy back as well for this.

Depends on how you count Mario characters.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Wario, and Yoshi could all be Mario characters. Or the first four are Mario, the DKs are Donkey Kong, Wario is Wario and Yoshi is Yoshi.

Huh. So more Pokemon fighters could come in....

I say, we need a good Grass type fighter.

Grass fighters are still at too much of a disadvantage against all the fire moves and explosions.

What? They're STILL doing Elemental Rock–Paper–Scissors in SSB 4!?

They don't need to keep the elemental advantage mechanic.

Hopefully they won't have type-effectiveness this time around. Though I doubt they will now that Pokemon Trainer is broken up.

I don't think any more Pokemon newcomers are likely. We'll definitely get Jiggs back, and MAYBE we might see Mewtwo make its grand return, but I doubt anyone else has a chance.
