    I expect Sonic to return, but not Snake.

    A lot of people are certain Bayonetta is in, but I'm not too sure. Her animations might be a bit too much, even with a T rating.

    Why wouldn't Snake return? Not only does he have a unique playstyle, but Kojima and Sakurai are like best buds. Hell, I'd like to see Raiden in the game too - Platinum and Nintendo are on extremely good terms at the moment, after all.

    Since you lose points for incorrect guesses, I played it a bit safe with the character roster.

    If I had to make third party guesses they would be:

    Mega Man

    Pac-Man

    Klonoa (that's more of a wish than a prediction. He'd fit in so well)[/spoiler]

  • Hexmage-PAHexmage-PA Registered User regular
    Mega Man better be in this one. It's his 25th, after all, and so far Capcom doesn't seem to be doing anything for it.

    They haven't exactly been celebrating his 24th, 23rd, or...Mega Man? Who's that?

    Lucy gets priority one.

    Anyone else they put is fine, but only after she's locked in.

  • Chris FOMChris FOM Registered User regular
    Fire Emblem characters are almost certainly going to be Marth and Chrom, if Melee and Brawl are any indication. Lucina might slip in, but I don't think they're gonna give FE three characters.

  • Professor SnugglesworthProfessor Snugglesworth Registered User regular
    I believe in the possibility of new Marth replacing old Marth.

    I don't think too many fans would object to this.

    I don't think too many fans would object to this.

    New Marth is Best Marth. Also incredibly popular in both the USA and Japan. Like, more popular than Chrom by a notable margin.

    Think she's got a shot.

  • ZekZek Registered User regular
    So let's talk about the prediction that actually has an immediate payoff: who will be announced in the trailer? You'll recall that the Brawl reveal announced Meta Knight, Pit, Zero Suit Samus, Wario and Snake.

    My bets:

    Ridley
    Geno
    Mii
    Tom Nook
    Mega Man

  • Professor SnugglesworthProfessor Snugglesworth Registered User regular
    What, like Tom Nook as a playable character?

    Nook is like Littlefinger. He doesn't get his hands dirty.

    And if Lucina's a shoe-in, I really hope she's in the announcement trailer. I'd hate to suffer through months and months of Sakurai-Time (or whatever they called those Brawl updates where people suffered for Captain Falcon).

  • ZekZek Registered User regular
    I think Animal Crossing needs a rep. It could be a generic player character like Pokemon Trainer, but that's pretty similar to the Mii. Maybe K.K. Slider?

    Tom Nook will actually be the end boss.

    Klonoa (that's more of a wish than a prediction. He'd fit in so well)[/spoiler]

    I have to wonder how they'd do Guar Plains... it being, well... flat, mostly. The Skystage area would probably work best (The arching paths over/under and such), or the region around the spiral pillar (make it more vertical than horizontal, with a deep pit and such). With the stage gimmick being monsters wandering in, and of course day/night/weather.

    If they put Shulk in, they really need to have Mondao Shield be his shield effect and Speed show up when dodging (on the blade, since it doesn't have any real visuals)

    Here's my roster prediction that I posted on another forum:
    prediction_005_zpse39f78af.png

    Isaac from Golden Sun is priority one for me, and he's got a shot. Psychic powers and earth-based magic would make him fun to play. I'd like to see a long-running series like Advance Wars get a spot as well. Since the next game will have a 3DS version along side the usual console version, hopefully that means Nintendo will pay some extra attention to handheld franchises like these. Shulk from Xenoblade be a great way to represent Monolith Soft's relatively recent first-party status.

    For returning franchises, Bowser Jr, who has had quite a few major roles since Brawl was released, is a good bet. For as much as the kremlings feature in the Donkey Kong series, that aspect of the games feels underrepresented in SSB. K Rool, Donkey Kong's wacky recurring villain, would round out the DK series nicely. More-recent Zoroark replaces Lucario, Pokemon Trainer gets a new set of pokemon, and Mewtwo makes a return. Star Fox could use a bit more variety (and fewer landmasters), so Wolf is out and Krystal is in. Sakurai gave the Kirby franchise a lot of love in Brawl, so I expect the Kid Icarus franchise will get some more attention too. Palutena's a strong possibility. For Fire Emblem, we get "Marth" out of tradition, and Chrom as the new guy, like Ike and Roy before him.

    My more idealized, not-going-to-happen roster:

  • Professor SnugglesworthProfessor Snugglesworth Registered User regular
    I briefly considered Palutena, but I wonder if she would have a varied-enough moveset to warrant being an actual character? I think she'd be included for sure as an assist trophy, but not sure about character.

    Waluigi might be an actual possibility, though.

    I am getting more and more curious about how they're gonna handle Ganondorf and Zelda in this entry

    Gonna be cool

    dN0T6ur.png
  • Professor SnugglesworthProfessor Snugglesworth Registered User regular
    I've kind of wanted them to get rid of Ganondorf and replace him with Ganon, a hefty warthog wizard with a huge spear and magic powers.

    But that's not likely going to happen as Ganondorf is too popular even as a Falcon clone.

    I could see Ganon as a transformation, similar to Sheik.

    Donnel as an assist trophy

    dN0T6ur.png
  • TaramoorTaramoor Storyteller Registered User regular
    I'm hoping that Assist Trophies are those most likely to make the jump to full characters. Isaac in particular, who had a great assist and model.

    Jeff, Ray MK III, Samurai Goroh, and Waluigi are the other ones that I would think are likely to get a promotion. I'd love to see Little Mac but there's not quite enough to him. Expanding his moveset might not fit with the character the same way it would with the other ones.

  • Dr. FlamingoDr. Flamingo 49 Gilded Disc Perceives the Sun Registered User regular
    A Custom Robo would be a great fit for a Smash character as long as they ignore/address the size discrepancy issue.

    No wait I got it

    Donnel assist in two stages

    When you summon him he's pretty weak, but still strong enough to kill. If he gets a kill, though, he turns into a Hero and goes apeshit for a few seconds, just wrecking faces like nobody's business.

    They could just have Mac incorporate the moves of the other boxers. Bald Bull's charge, Super Macho Man's whirlwind punch, etc.

  • cloudeaglecloudeagle Registered User regular
    Given that Mac's in probably the highest-profile Nintendo game without a playable Smash character yet, I'd be more surprised if he wasn't made playable. Especially since we got a new game in the recent past.
