that would be incredibly boring, he's the perfect character to update with every new game. Also, I think we could get a female version this time

Then why didn't they just use 3rd/4th gen trainer in Brawl? Why did they use Pokemon Trainer from gen 1 (design from gen 3)?
Pokemon Trainer from gen 1 is iconic for the series. That's why I don't see them updating the whole character to match a new gen.
I can see them giving a female trainer alternative though.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Pretty sure Lucina is guaranteed over any other FE character.
don't think she would be the 4/5 th Nintendo Figma if it was a character we will never see again.

Eh.

If we went by merchandise then Tharja would be just as likely (possibly more so) because of the statue being made of her, that will be released earlier than the Lucy Figma.

 

[7Th]

I doubt Lucina will be in as anything but a Marth alt. Chrom makes more sense as the Awakening rep, and he could easily be paired with Robin assisting from the background to make him a unique fighter and represent Awakening's Pair Up system.

But Chrom sucks and Lucina rocks; why would you even want Chrome?

Eh.

If we went by merchandise then Tharja would be just as likely (possibly more so) because of the statue being made of her, that will be released earlier than the Lucy Figma.

Tharja is a bit 2lewd for the Smash audience.

 

[NeonZ]

We already know which stage they've picked for Fire Emblem Awakening in Smash 3DS - Arena Ferox. We don't know what they're going to do for the Wii U version though. I guess a FE9/10 location, even if Ike isn't in, like the Spirit Tracks stage in Smash 3DS. Maybe inside Asherah's tower or Begnion's capital with Asherah's tower in the background?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Chikorita, Quilava, and Feraligator

None of the other generations can't even hope to compare to Gen 2 starters.

Real fuckin' talk right there.

 

[-Horizon-]

Eh.

If Tharja and Bayonetta make it into Smash...DAT BATTLE.

 

[DaBoss]

I'm pretty sure they'd keep all three in the same Generation, so here are my preferences:

Totodile/Quilava/Meganium

Mudkip/Grovyle/Blaziken

Turtwig/Monferno/Empoleon

Tepig/Servine/Samurott

Froakie/Fennekin Stage 2/Chespin Stage 3

I disagree with the notion of keeping it within the same generation. It would allow 3 different generations of Pokémon being represented.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

If Pokémon trainer got updated, what Pokemon would you like to see him/her use? You're only limited to starter Pokémon and their evolutions.

What I would like to see:
Chikorita | Dewott | Blaziken

Chikorita? Why pick the worst of the Johto starters man?

 

[remz]

People assuming Lucario will be cut make me laugh. The speculation there is based on an incorrect assumption (that Lucario replaced Mewtwo) and further a pattern that could have only had one point. You can't make a pattern with one point.

Mewtwo is missing from the Brawl roster. Lucario shows up with Mewtwo's move set in Brawl. How is assuming he was replaced an incorrect assumption? Sure looks like he got replaced from here.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm not a "genwunner" or whatever the fuck but Pokemon Trainer shouldn't be meddled with.

But I like him so you're wrong.

No-one likes him enough to be a character in Smash.

C'mon son.

Mewtwo is missing from the Brawl roster. Lucario shows up with Mewtwo's move set in Brawl. How is assuming he was replaced an incorrect assumption? Sure looks like he got replaced from here.

Lucario shares exactly 0 moves with Mewtwo, so that statement is incorrect.

Also, Sonic if anyone replaced Mewtwo since he was a last-minute addition and the team had to sacrifice time that would have been spent completing Mewtwo and Roy in order to build Sonic from the ground-up.

Also Donnel should be Smash 4's FE rep. You know it's true.

 

[BGBW]

Just to avoid disappointment, I did leak that Stunfisk will be the new Pokemon rep.

 

[DaBoss]

Chikorita? Why pick the worst of the Johto starters man?

Because it is the least worst of the worst.

Spoiler

I love Tododile and Chikorita (not in-game). Cyndaquil is the worst of the 3 easily.

Mewtwo is missing from the Brawl roster. Lucario shows up with Mewtwo's move set in Brawl. How is assuming he was replaced an incorrect assumption? Sure looks like he got replaced from here.

Actually, Mewtwo was cut, not replaced. They were going to have both Lucario and Mewtwo.

Lucario shares exactly 0 moves with Mewtwo, so that statement is incorrect.

Aura Sphere is quite similar to Shadow Ball, but that is pretty much it.

Uh... Lucario's moveset was completely different from Mewtwo's. I guess both had a charged projectile, but that's the only real similarity.

 

[Revven]

Mewtwo is missing from the Brawl roster. Lucario shows up with Mewtwo's move set in Brawl. How is assuming he was replaced an incorrect assumption? Sure looks like he got replaced from here.

You're soooo inaccurate with that.

Lucario only shares one move with Mewtwo and it's only how it functions. And that one move is Neutral B. Every other attack Lucario has is completely unique to him. Up B isn't the same, Side B is definitely not the same, his smashes, tilts, throws, and aerials aren't the same...

How do people make this connection? It's completely inaccurate. I hate it. They're not the same at all. Mewtwo was slated to be in Brawl but he was cut last minute because of time constraints. His file name is on the disc, along with some others (but the files themselves are empty of course).

Tharja is a bit 2lewd for the Smash audience.

Its not Tharja's fault that her ass is to hot for America.

 

[Kokonoe]

Not that Fox looks awful, but I really don't care for his Star Fox Command look much. Looks like he's made of ice cream. Would like to see his Melee look again.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Mewtwo is missing from the Brawl roster. Lucario shows up with Mewtwo's move set in Brawl. How is assuming he was replaced an incorrect assumption? Sure looks like he got replaced from here.

Mewtwo's assets are the furthest along of any of the dropped characters. Lucario was probably designed side by side with him, with Lucario as a Wolf style clone, or like a similar character.

I've always suspected that, given Lucario's aura health gimmick. Something like that seems like it was added to make him stand out from Mewtwo, but without Mewtwo in the game, it's not really needed.

Lucario would have been a slight clone of Mewtwo with some slight move adjustments, a new Final Smash (maybe?) and the aura health gimmick.

Agree so hard but too bad Sakurai only goes with "the latest design for the character" (which is kind of bullshit when you look at Link in Smash 4... but I digress).

Ha, so true. I'd be fine with him reverting back to his ironclad Melee look as long as they kept the Scouter. How else is he supposted to read the others' power levels?

He can't have his melee look, it's what made him top tier.

Still waiting for Geno!

Yes! Especially since he already does the DBZ charge up already with Up B.

There we go.

I'm kind of ok with this list now...though I would switch Female Morgan with Tharja *runs before Tharja fans attack*

You know what I'm hyped for? Next "Brawl in the Family" comics. So much material :lol

Why did I only find out about this now?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Y'all are only hard for Melee Fox because he was OP as fuck.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Once again though, the two share exactly zero moves. Even their charge Bs are distinct from each other; Lucario's has more in common with Samus' than Mewtwo's.

 

[beta_fuse]

Not that Fox looks awful, but I really don't care for his Star Fox Command look much. Looks like he's made of ice cream. Would like to see his Melee look again.

I concure. I much prefer his Melee model over the new one even though it isn't that bad.

 

[Moonlight]

No, no. That's fine. There's no shame in repping The Best Daughter.

 

[Qurupeke]

So, that's the reason behind straight, wrestler Bowser!

 

[Kouichi]

I was expecting this Fox:

I prefer it over the Melee and Brawl Fox.

 

[Boss Doggie]

No, he was simply late in addition. As Scrafty said, Sonic is the one who "replaced" Mewtwo if anything else due to the timing.

And the only "Mewtwo" moveset Lucario has is Aura Sphere, and even then that's like saying Samus is a Mewtwo clone.

 

[CPCunha]

...i just want them to keep Ness on.

I have a smile on my face just thinking of friends coming over and wasting a whole Saturday afternoon playing this and then going for pizza and talking highlights...

 

[DaBoss]

I don't care how Fox looks and only want him to have that black Fox skin. That was pretty badass.

 

[Bisnic]

Or even Megaman.

Uhhhh... because watching them they animate extremely similarly? Their normals look similar. Their side smashes (draw back double palm strikes) look similar, their attacks shoot purple fire, up a arcing kick looks like up +a tail whip. both neutral airs have swirly fire effects/energy effects. their fireballs, at first glance, appear extremely similar. They move (floaty) similar, etc. He looks, at first glance to be a fighting as opposed to psychic themed mewtwo.

If anything it's more baffling seeing the smash faithful claim sonic is more likely a replacement. D:

This is pretty much what I think. The differences in his moves are a lot like the difference between fox/falco/wolf. Probably amplified due to the change of engine and no Mewtwo to compare to.

 

[Revven]

Y'all are only hard for Melee Fox because he was OP as fuck.

Nahh bro, aesthetically he looks great, it was a step in the right direction right off the heels from Smash 64. I'm sad we don't get to see a further evolution of that model... because it would benefit so much more from the upgrade in visuals. Just think about it!

(But yes I did like how Fox played in Melee, albeit if they just removed the invinc on his shine startup he'd instantly be a lot more balanced).

The Smash 4 model they're using is just Brawl Fox again with fur textures; absolutely lazy and it doesn't even look good (because that Fox was designed with a cartoony color/cel-shaded look). It looks like someone just pasted HD fur textures and he was inserted into Brawl with them (if that sounds weird, I'm basically comparing it to those "HD" texture packs for OoT and what not).

You know what though? The latest Star Fox release was technically StarFox 64... on the 3DS. Why isn't it that model again?

 

[Pociask]

Yo yo yo, Ima let you finish, but Advance Wars is one of the best Nintendo series of all time! When can I drop Mario like a phat beat?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah I agree with Melee Fox being best Fox. Command was pretty shitty in design.

But as long as they keep Brawl Wolf I'm happy

wat

They animate differently - Lucario moves like a martial artist. Lucario is primarily using aura in his attacks so they make sense if anything else. That kick is a pretty common martial arts move to be compared to a tail whip that even Pikachu has (wtf seriously?!), and neutral airs are always fast save for a few.

You can't honestly saw that the first time you played brawl you didn't think that Lucario felt like Mewtwo. It's like Ryu/Ken level. You can paste a different skin over it but seriously...

also Lucina >>>> Chrom
