Move set is the roughly the same, speed & power are different.

They share one move: the counter.

 

[Busaiku]

They probably revealed Ike because he and Marth will be in

Spoiler

Robin's

reveal trailer at E3.

Yeah, I actually think Robin is more likely than Chrom at this point.
There's Wii Fit Trainer and Villager already.

 

[AdanVC]

Damn, Ike looks badass. Glad to see him back!

 

[Mr Buddy]

Congrats to Mr. Buddy and TWILT. Here, take your bragging rights.

Woo! We did it! Nice job TWILT!

You'd think Lucina would be a lock except for that whole is basically a Marth Imposter storyline she has going.

Lyn also could have graduated from AT...

 

[jnWake]

Nice, stayed up for a reveal!

Ike looks awesome. Seems like Fire Emblem will get 3 guys this time, seems fitting.

(By the way, first trophy shown in the Smash Direct was a Fire Emblem one. Zelda veteran confirmed for E3?

Spoiler

And then Ridley

)

 

[Jezan]

Counter, so integral to Fire Emblem it's appeared as a skill in all of 3 games or so and is pretty useless all around in 2 of them

also dunno what's with the "RIP Chrom" posts, you guys are crazy

Spoiler

that being said I want a different fucking Awakening rep

I'm sure the Counter comes from the fact that if you are attacked in the enemy phase, you get a chance to attack the enemy too, and viceversa. Unless I'm missing something

 

[Hours Left]

Super hi-def beef.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Hitting Forward Aerial with him again is going to feel soooooooooooo good.

 

[Sai-kun]

mannnnnnnnn I can't get over how beefy looks

THAT ARMOR TOO

I know, ugh. He hit the gym, and mannnn he looks good *_*

 

[Rychu Supadude]

Did I just squeal like a little girl? You better believe I did! Take that, doubters!

Thankyou based Sakurai you are amazing.

I like the cut of your jib.

I also hope Grima is a stage we can fight on. That would be dope.

 

[Shun]

Where the fuck is Micaiah, the REAL protagonist of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn?

Spoiler

Probably just a sticker.

 

[GamerSoul]

seriously thought ike was cut. but I think we'll still get another FE character.

 

[Dryk]

Move set is the roughly the same, speed & power are different.

Not even close

 

[Poltergust]

Man, Ike has been hitting the weights the past 6 years.

 

[DisconnectD]

Along with Kriken, I know who I am picking for the Best Buy SmashFest! Man....didn't think Ike could be more of a boss. Now if only Sakurai buffed Aether and Quickdraw, we'll be in business

 

[tonyh24613]

My hands finally stop shaking from posting veteran pics, so hyped. Sakurai must be preparing for more E3 hype.

You sir, are on to something.

Calling it.

- Ganondorf reveal before E3

- Ridley reveal at E3.

 

[Man God]

Ike is cut.

 

[Red Arremer]

I think with Ike returning it's fairly safe to assume that no Brawl character except for Snake is in any real danger of being cut.

[Hello.]

god dayum i cant contain. 2sexy.

 

[Man God]

It's still entirely possible Snake is in this game.

 

[Anteo]

I'm sorry but this is the stupidest character inclusion ever if it means no one else from Fire Emblem makes the cut (and it does). Why not Chrom? Or someone without blue hair, even? Ike just looks like a Marth lookalike, another guy with a sword doing that sort of shit.

My opinion.

lol. there is no way this is not sarcasm.

 

[Benzychenz]

YESSSSSSSSS

I didn't think he'd be cut but confirmation is still amazing

 

[GregLombardi]

I just realized this reveal is probably the most appropriate for the current thread title, haha.

 

[El Sabroso]

not the character I expected to come back that much, but is welcome, at last an update with a character and the improvement in design and the new armor really is great

 

[Kriken]

I hear Lucario confirms Mewtwo will never be in Smash again /s

Also, "Marth lookalike"? Come on, they look nothing alike

This. 1000x this.

 

[Red Arremer]

Possible, yes, but out of all the characters from Brawl, he's the one who is in most danger of getting axed.

 

[Sponge]

You forgot Pseudo-Palutena.

Ridley, Palutena, and Pac-Man for E3, then.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Fuckin Ken from Fist of the North Star up in this bitch!

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Ike seems a little bulkier than I prefer from my animu characters, but he's still one of the raddest looking FE characters and this design does little to change that.

They should just reveal Jaffar next. Get it over with and include the coolest FE badass.

I mean, he's about as timely as Ike is, so why not?

 

[MillionVolts]

I am grinning from ear to ear right now.

 

[Brainfreeze]

You sir, are on to something.

Calling it.

- Ganondorf reveal before E3

- Ridley and Palutena reveal at E3.

There was a 4th trophy, remember.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

This thread title....

 

[IntelliHeath]

O_O!

HOOOOLLLLLLYYYYY SHIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!

DAT UPDATE! O_O

 

[GamerSoul]

Ike is cut.

lol ok u win.

this works so we'll with the thread title also.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Ike, I hope you're ready to use all dat beef to defend my Ivysaur and Squirtle from being cut. Good to have you back.

I love seeing veterans return and crushing the expectation that they'll be cut. It makes me downright giddy.

 

[Dryk]

Oh well... again, my mistake. I always play as Ness or Lucas or Fox. I recently started playing as Olimar too and enjoy him.

To expand on my last post. Ike and Marth are comparable to Lucas and Ness, except they're a bit more divergent since Lucas and Ness still sort of share their (very different) B moves and a few (slightly different) A moves.

I nearly think Mewtwo is guaranteed. He's definitely the most interesting cut character and could have two different final smashes. He's had a huge media push in the last few years.

Unlike all the other cut characters so far Mewtwo actually had a unique moveset that's never been put back to use. I'd love to see it back.

This man... BRAVO

 

[Busaiku]

Ike should have a Priam alt.

 

[TWILT]

Radiant Dawn Ike is awesome and all, but I do hope I see his Ranger/Lord costumes as alts.

Congrats to Mr. Buddy and TWILT. Here, take your bragging rights.

: D

Ike probably ate them.

Super hi-def beef.

You must be really happy right now lol.

You forgot Pseudo-Palutena.

Ivysaur and Squirtle pray you're right. So do I.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Fuck the poll, this should be the next thread title!
