Speculate on rosters here on all points: veterans, newcomers, balances between series, number of characters, third party characters, etc...

So let's talk about Fire Emblem characters guys, specially after the magazine picture Sakurai tweeted recently , although it seems he was like "Look at pit his #1"
Yeah, that was just a popularity poll on some magazine with Sakurai's comments being how surprised he was that Pit was number 1. Still, more Fire Emblem characters would be nice, and admittedly, I would love to see the return of Roy. He deserves some love, and perhaps a more unique moveset. Although his standard B move can remain untouched, seeing as it's now unique compared to Marth's Brawl standard B.

The best Fire Emblem game was without a doubt FE 7 for the GBA. If they put Hector, Eliwood, or Lyn in the game, I will dedicate my life to making them top tier.

Well it's a safe bet to say that all 12 characters from Smash 64 will be in this new Smash Bros., seeing as they were all available in Melee and Brawl, so it's like a must for them to be included. And yes, that includes Weegee. :luigi2:

Oh, of course. I was just messing around. The original 12 is as good as confirmed.

If any melee characters made a return, I'd want it to be Roy. He's our boy after all.

They should definitely keep Marth and Ike. Krom will be in. Lyn would be awesome too, but I doubt she'll make it.

Maybe they'll pull an awesome and stick with the name Smash Bros. Universe and have all the char's from the previous games, plus new ones.

As great as that would be, it ultimately boils down to whether Square-Enix will agree to the addition of Geno. Assuming they would want any of their characters represented in Smash 4, I would think they'd go with a Final Fantasy character over Geno first, like Cecil or Terra. That's just my guess.

The power of my fanboyism defies your logic and facts.

Besides, he's a Mario character first in everyone's eyes. Legality aside, he's even a Mario character in Nintendo's eyes

What are the chances of Namco/Bandai characters?


Will we finally get Pokemon vs Digimon?

Namco Bandai have there own franchises..... Naruto, Digimon and any anime character is licensed property and Namco can't use such characters in SSB. and Sakurai said it that the characters should originate from video games....

To Inty7: If the next Fire Emblem character must be from Rekka No Ken, it should be Hector, because he's the most important to the plot. Eliwood would be an okay substitute, seeing as he's the main character of the end game and epilogue parts, but I'm completely against making Lyndis playable because her role was basically just the tutor before the game really took off.

I'd rather Waluigi (I know him as "Fuigi") not be playable because last I checked, every character must be played as to unlock everything.

Most likely (And hopefully) it will be Pac Man if anyone

Pac man is THE video game character, other than Mario

Digimon originated as a video game series and is owned by Namco-Bandai.


King of Digimon, Etemon-sama yo for Sm4sh.


AND WHEN IS CHRONOBOUND GOING TO MAKE THE RIDLEY THREAD.

Shut up about Digimon. That's awful.

Also, I'm expecting minimal cuts (but some nonetheless), and around 12 to 15 newcomers.

Eliwood is more important than Hector....after all you can't play Hector story if you didn't beat Eliwoods...

I'd say the chances of a Namco character are very very good, but I think them choosing to represent themselves with a Digimon character is pretty unlikely.

Sorry, Oasis.

Well it's a good thing I am referring to video game characters from a franchise owned by Namco Bandai, otherwise I'd be wrong.

The name Hector shall forever be burned in my mind as the professor from Gyromite rather than a Fire Emblem character

I wouldn't play as Eliwood. They might as well put Roy back in if they were going with a generic sword user.
A polearm wielder would add a lot more than an axe wielder.

If they do Hoenn Pokemon Trainer I'd prefere Mudkip-Grovyle-Blaziken (even if it is the same type-to-evolution-stage ratio as OG Pkmn Trainer. But Hoenn Pkmn Trainer is no where near my most wanted Pokemon rep.
