I haven't caught up with the series lately, but.. is Luigi tapping Rosalina yet?
Someone has to be tapping her.He would never cheat on Daisy.
That's more or less what I'm expecting, but I'm not completely sold on Little Mac and Mii. I also think there might be another retro character.Villager

The only major FE character in recent memory that's significant to the plot is Lucina, and her chances died when Marth was revealed.I'm late to the party, so a few stray observations / thoughts that may of been brought up before
- Rosalina and Luma look great. They wouldn't be even close to my choice for next Mario character (Waluigi am cry), but man, they look fun
- I think Nintendo is purposely trying to push through female characters in their games a lot more - having Peach and Rosalina playable inand now SSB4, Dixie in Tropical Freeze, and even WFT in SSB4 also. To that end, I expect to see Dixie, Palutena and maybe a female FE character in SSB4 at the very least as well.3D World
- I think the reveal trailers are being made specifically for the internet, rather than to show up in the game (though they still might appear in game, too) - if this video was made to play before Rosalina was unlocked or something, surely Yoshi and Wario, who you would expect to be starter characters, would appear in it, right? DK is in there, so they weren't worried about having non Mushroom branded Mario characters
-To that note, I really think there may be no unlockable characters this time. Even if you write off Luigi's reveal as being Year of Luigi based, Rosalina would seem to me a perfect unlockable character, and yet here she is, already revealed. When Sakurai talked about the internet giving stuff away in regards to SSE content and the like, I think he may of been also talking about characters getting leaked a few days before release. But if no characters are secret, then he gets greater control of how to reveal them.
Oh hell no. That bastard can rot in hell for all I care.fisheyes said:Acceptable, and would make for a nice diverse roster when all is said and done (assuming all Brawl characters plus Mewtwo and maybe Roy return), but ultimately a bit too safe. Needs another out of left field character, I doubt they would've revealed WFT so early unless they had something else interesting waiting in the wings.

Little Mac and Mii are most likely in. They were among the six newcomers leaked by the one person on the Internet who "predicted" Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and Mega Man, in an unedited post here right before E3.That's more or less what I'm expecting, but I'm not completely sold on Little Mac and Mii. I also think there might be another retro character.
Hmm, Sakurai did tweet that image of an orchestra where there was a prop of Shulk's sword, did he not? Maybe he has Xenoblade on the brain.Not so sure about the bolded. Maybe Takumaru, but I'm still 50/50 on his chances.
Plus you're missing Shulk
I didn't list Mewtwo because I'd consider him a veteran.Add Shulk and a return for Mewtwo and I'm all set. Not too fussed about Toon Zelda though.
I know that, but I don't think the rumor was completely accurate. For one, the rumor specified that all six characters would be shown at E3, which obviously didn't pan out. The leaker clearly knew something, but I don't think he knew everything. We'll see.Little Mac and Mii are most likely in.

Notice how the newcomers each had their own trailer? This allows them to be mixed and matched in any order. It's perfectly possible six trailers were prepared, and the plan was to release them one at a time until Sakurai thought the reactions were enough. Sakurai might've gone in with six, planning only to use three, but which three would be decided by ear.I know that, but I don't think the rumor was completely accurate.

No it's not. Today's trailer had Luigi and Peach.Notice how the newcomers each had their own trailer? This allows them to be mixed and matched in any order.

Sakurai probably didn't want to include a second hub stage since we already have Skyloft.
Eh... I don't really see that situation as being plausible. Three newcomer trailers is a lot to sit on. If Little Mac, Mii, and Pac-Man trailers were finished as far back as E3, I don't see why Rosalina was revealed today instead of one of those three. There's also the fact that Rosalina's trailer features characters, stages, and items that have been revealed over the last few months; Sakurai would have to retool those old Little Mac/Mii/Pac-Man trailers to include newer content, which seems like a huge waste of time.Notice how the newcomers each had their own trailer?

Not really. The CGI portion of the trailers don't have to include any of the characters that weren't initially revealed.Eh... I don't really see that situation as being plausible.

Clearly the obvious answer here is Ms. Pac-Man.I just hope this means Sakurai's going to lean on the side of adding more female characters. WFT, Samus, Peach, and Rosalina so far.
*Still crossing fingers for Krystal, Lucina, Sami, and Palutena*
Is anyone expecting anything new tonight? Maybe a new Rosalina shot?
I was thinking that the Pokken Fighters was actually just Smash Bros with Lucario returning and Blaziken as a newcomer.
Cranky Kong.Is anyone expecting anything new tonight? Maybe a new Rosalina shot?
I knew that the the Villager's up special recovery would be terrible, hopefully his rocket will be more useful.
And this is why I am shying away from predicting which character will make it in. We really don't know as much as how Sakurai decides characters as we think and the fact that I legitimately believed that Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina and Villager had absolutely zero chance of getting in has caused me to eat my words several times.It is pretty interesting how off we all were in predicting newcomers. Of the initial three, Mega Man was the one with the most support--the Villager was seemingly ruled out many years prior and the Wii Fit Trainer never got brought up at all. And sure, Rosalina seems like an easy choice now after 3D World, but if you had brought her up back before E3 for instance you'd be laughed out of the thread.
Just add Ridley and King K. Rool and we're set.Villager

I was really excited when I first saw him, but the more and more info is shown, the lower in tier's he goes in my mind (Honestly I don't care for tiers, I usually play a low tier as my primary character) but that balloon pop thing sort of sucks. I've played ness since melee so I'm used to my recovery being stopped ,at least with ness you have some ways around it but if its that easy to pop the balloons.... ._. , hopefully they give it a little durability. Picture characters with range attacks like fox, pit etc just sniping you out.
An alternate Daisy outfit for Rosalina would tick so many people off...Costume swap images of Rosalina with her in the outfits of Peach, WFT, DK, Mario, Etc.

But what if it's actually THREE random characters!?!?My money's on *Picture of two random characters standing around*.
The Law of coolness conservation demands it.

OR FOUR?!
Here’s an interesting observation regarding Brawl’s roster: the newcomers are evenly assigned to two major categories and to two minor categories.
Pre-Melee (6)
Relevant characters created before Melee’s roster was put together.
Wario (new franchise), Meta Knight, Diddy Kong, Pokémon Trainer, King Dedede, Wolf (late addition)
Post-Melee (6)
Relevant characters created after Melee’s roster was put together.
Olimar (new franchise), Zero Suit Samus, Lucas, Ike, Lucario, Toon Link (late addition)
Retro (2)
Classic characters who haven’t appeared during the last few console generations.
Pit, R.O.B.
Guest (2)
Third-party characters.
Snake, Sonic
Of course, there’s no telling if Sakurai plans on balancing SSB4’s newcomers out in a similar way, but it’s something worth considering, I suppose. He’s really rigid about this kind of stuff. I feel like a big part of Wii Fit Trainer and Rosalina's inclusion has to do with the fact that they're "new" characters who didn't exist during the Brawl planning period.
*yawns and continues to eats sour grapes in space*
Soooo does anyone have an idea of why in some clips the lumas are different colors? I can't think of any reason right now. I thought it was interesting.
