I mean how many other new IP's can give characters? The new Xenoblade even has a custom protagonist.
So does Fire Emblem: Awakening

Meaning that someone is cut. I hope it's Wolf and and ROB.
More Swords.
I shouldn't have to tell you this, but Wolf's moveset is completely different from Fox's, the only similarities being superficial similarities in their Special moves. Wolf is more different from Fox than Falco is, and if one of them had to be cut it should be Falco.Considering how you can customize the movesets, there should be no reason for more clones.
Gives Fox option to have wolf moveset and kill it with a fire.
ROB is not a clone and it will stay ! ><
Let me guess- more generic anime-inspired characters that will drain the excitement from my body. :/ God, this series used to appeal to me back when it was squarely aimed at fans of the iconic Nintendo characters. My biggest complaint back then was that they included too many pokemon characters. Now it's that they are including too many anime-style characters. Ugh.
Quiet you.
ROB is an amazing character!
Wolf and ROB da bess.
Damn you.

Then pick another character. Geez.
Wow, look at all this ROB love.
No, they're all anime sword fighters....

Chibi RoboI mean how many other new IP's can give characters?
Yes, he is a uniquely beloved char. Don't cut him Sakurai!
No, they're all anime sword fighters....
That's fair. But if it's truly 45 (which I believe it is), it doesn't leave any wiggle room for newcomers. In all likelihood we're at least getting 2 newbies still, leaving 2 characters to be cut, via BY2K's math, which may or may not check out.
I swear if Shulk is not in this roster I might cry.
I haven't been so desperate to have a character in Smash this much since Sonic in Brawl.
Even if he is in I'll still probably cry if he doesn't get his own announcement trailer. So many great reveal possibilities would get thrown away.

It's not going to be a full roster reveal so don't worry.
Is this confirmed?It's not going to be a full roster reveal so don't worry.
Did you miss OP? It's a full roster reveal.

I would really like them to keep some characters as a surprise, but from the looks of that thing in the OP it seems they are going all-out with this "reveal".
Yeah, this is what I found:Corocoro did this last time with Brawl. Didn't contain the full starting roster let alone the hidden roster.
Braw'ls "reveal" book said:[big text at the top]Super Smash Bros X All Character Big Presenting to the Public Book
[yellow text below] That King DeDeDe has finally arrived! The game with subjects [also read as topics] under monopoly that always get attention, a complete single copy [of a book, magazine, etc.] that explains the Smash Brothers' characters [read as all characters].
[white text at bottom] As for what it contains, if we tell you now then next month on our homepage, we wouldn't have anything to say, so other than those who have a time machine, wait in anticipation for next month!!"

You're a terrible person who hopes for terrible things!Meaning that someone is cut. I hope it's Wolf and and ROB.
Damn, that is a missed opportunity.Thinking about it, they missed another good opportunity for Phoenix Wright to be in smash, his series is pretty much exclusive to Nintendo systems and he's popular enough to be put in mvc3. It isn't like the game doesn't have wacky moveset characters anyways.
Capcom pls.
Guess what: Those characters are Nintendo characters!

Fire Emblem is a Nintendo exclusive franchise that has been around since 1990 on the NES. It predates and has more games in its series then Star Fox, F-Zero, Mother/Earthbound, and Punch Out. Heck the only Nintendo franchises with more games are Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Pokemon. It even has more games then Metroid series.
Your complaint is silly and shows you know nothing of nintendo or its history.
What are true nintendo icons to you? I'm confident what you'd name are all already there. Fire Emblem has been around since the Famicom and is apart of Nintendo's history whether you like anime or not..
The Anime comments are hilarious to me. We got Villager, Mac, Megaman, Rosalina, Pacman and Wii Fit Trainer but all it takes is two FE characters announced and suddenly Smash is Anime.
B-b-but Palutena!
Is it odd that I never considered the KI characters anime? They feel more cartoony than anime IMO. It was only after the shorts that I noticed any anime qualities.B-b-but Palutena!
So does Fire Emblem: Awakening
Chibi Robo
not really a new IP anymore though, first game ws in 2005
Why should Nintendo cater to the western audience?You really shouldn't jump to conclusions or make assumptions. I'm very aware of how long FE has been a series. What you're not considering is whether those characters are recognizable or even attractive to a western audience. So next time, you might instead assume that someone that has heavily frequented Gaf for fourteen years would know a thing or two about Nintendo. And you know, already has most of the Super Famicom FE games in his collection. Doesn't mean I have to like their inclusion in Smash. I know that must be hard to understand.
