Masahiro Sakurai is making an appearance at the Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Event.

he just really likes FE and put a bunch of FE chars in his game.
doubt anything will come of it.
Multiple trusted data-miners have found files for Roy in the recent 3DS update (along with a stage theme and victory jingle for Ryu from Street Fighter).

Roy's in development. It's definitely possible he'll be shown there.

Sakurai: "When Roy Koopa and Roy from Fire Emblem are in the same battle, one Roy is renamed Alfonso #1 and the other Roy is renamed Alfonso #2."

oh i know, still don't think anything will happen there. they know he's a huge fan so they invited him to say a few words.

i'm not getting disappointed.
 
They unveiled Robin and Lucina when people were certain he'd unveil Shulk, so clearly he is going to the Fire Emblem event to unveil Pink Gold Peach.

Sakurai did the Iwata asks for Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon rather than Iwata doing it, partly because he's such a Fire Emblem fanboy.

I think he just really digs the series (and for good reason!).

Sure, but if he's making a DLC Fire Emblem character (and we know he's making Roy), then it seems like the perfect place to show him.

Of course, I'd love to see him sooner, at E3.

"...as a $3 mii outfit, thanks everyone, peace out" *drops mic*
 
Come on guys. Why would he announce ryu at the concert? He isn't FEz related. He has a higher chance of showing up at e3, assuming he is in development.

And then he gets beaten up again and they announce someone else

...this would actually be legit hilarious and a real ode to the best reveal of pre-4.
 
I would love an announcement, but I'm definitely not getting my hopes up.

With luck Roy's leftover data was just from a scrapped project and Sakurai is going to announce a Fire Emblem if character instead.

Roy was a mistake. It's actually Lyn.

Just in time for the new game!
don't hate me...

Of course they will, to replace it with a Roy Assist one =P

I actually don't know how I'd feel if this happened. On one hand, fuck yes Lyn get un-robbed AND precedent is set so we can get more Assist Trophies promoted
Takamaru vs Lyn would be canon
. On the other hand, I would actually feel really bad for Roy fans.

He's just there to announce FIGHTER EMBLEM

If it weren't for Samurai and crew this series would have probably gotten the same anniversary treatment that Metroid got

Smash is responsible for keeping Fire Emblem, F-Zero, and to a certain extent, Metroid off life support or out of the grave completely.
