Ice Climbers are back! Now with 45% more fuzz!

It's good that they're still in the game because they have such a unique fighting style. Unfortunately, I don't know too many people that actually play with them. Personally, I want to see Game and Watch.
Heh, good to see the Ice Climbers back, with even furrier coats, yey, also Poor Kirby, especially if that move involves BOTH of them stomping on the poor blob, haha.
Improved textures all round, apart from the fuzz, the coats are in higher res, and the faces/shoes are markedly improved.

Sooo... could we all agree that baseless speculation about characters be struck from the roster is silly?
Sakurai is in charge. He can do whatever he wants. Assuming distinctive characters are cut seems silly without proof.
(In other words, I'm expecting Ness, Mr. Game & Watch, and Zelda's Shiek transformation to return.)

I think he said that's their taunt because it looks like one of their celebration taunts from when you win a match with themNintaiyo said:

Umm, we have confirmation of 12 returning characters and 8 new characters so far. How much of a new roster are you looking for? I'd rather have this be more of a SFAlpha to SFA2 change than a SFII to SFIII change.SantaC said:
As it is, I admit I was surprised to see Ice Climbers back. Thought they were added to Melee as a novelty (although that doesn't mean they weren't a great character) and for that reason could have easily wound up on the chopping block. I'm happy to see them, though, as they truly provide a different gameplay experience.

Very excited to see the Ice Climbers back, I was really hoping they would make the cut.
Variety FTW.
Variety FTW.
booo I was hoping they would get cut and make way for others. does this mean no ness? or was that a rumor before that someone would get cut? i dont know anybody that actually used IC as their main person...maybe as a stupid fun game. lame =/ i didnt even like using them to finish their target and crap in melee lol
oh well, im sure some people like em.

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I think it was a rumour that someone would get cut. If ice climbers have made it into the game, then I guess ness will be a playable character in brawl too.Ashhong said:

I never really played as IC, but that doesn't mean i welcome them into Brawl, always good to have the old characters (with variety) back in the game.

I've always thought it was extremely stupid to expect the Ice Climbers to be dropped without an adequate replacement moveset-wise.
They'd need another duo who could use all their animations- so their replacement would have to be another hammer wielding duo with similar proportions and ice themed moves, but there's no character like that. They also obviously aren't going to just throw away all the animations that they had from Melee... Not returning wouldn't make sense.

I don't understand the hate tbh. They're cute, pretty unique cause there's two of them and they carry hammers. What's not to like?
Do you hate Kirby as well? While there's no two kirbys rampaging around, he's pretty unique too and has a move with a hammer. And he's cute.

Well, first off, 'confirmed' is just used loosely because of the familar/joking tone of this thread. The regulars here act as if our opinions were fact to incite discussions and bring some spice into here - it's basically a running joke, so don't take it 100% seriously.Scribble said:
Having said that, Sheik and Marth are definitely out, no denying that.
Marth is out because he's been replaced by Ike. Ike is not an addition to the cast, he is a replacement for Marth. There is no need for two blue-haired, cape-wearing, sword-wielding, fierce-looking Fire Emblem lords in the game. I guess either a female or another red-haired male FE character will make it in (Although female chances dropped now that Lyn has been confirmed as an AT). At this point, I give Eliwood the best chance to make it in. If there really are 3 FE characters planned (like some here believe), Marth's return chances rise a bit.
Sheik is out because she doesn't make sense with TP Link and TP Zelda who're in Brawl. TP Zelda won't transform, so the only chance that Sheik will make it in is as a standalone character. I don't think that will happen because there are a number of other Zelda characters who have priority over her (Ganondorf/WW Link/Wolf+Midna/Tingle). Also, I think the general shift away from OoT to TP as 'the' Zelda that is mainly represented in Brawl makes it more unlikely for her to appear as a playable character.
After all that, that's just one guy's opinion - and I'm the man with the worst prediction record in the whole thread to boot. >_<;

No doubt a lot of people play the game entirely for the doll house element. I mean, forgetting the fact that I think that's retarded, it's still kind of odd to be perplexed at somebody's dislike for a character and use "they're cute" as supporting evidence. Maybe I should expect less? Whatever.Scribble said:

Mewtwo is easily the most popular/memorable Pokemon Legendary. I can (unfortunately) see him getting cut, but not replaced by a new D/P Legendary..
Personally I'm hoping Mewtwo stays. He's my second favorite :[

I've been here long enough to know that =P
a. Marth is the most iconic Fire Emblem character. He's the first ever lord, and has had three games (one a sidestory where he isn't a main character, IIRC), in his universe.
b. Just because they both wield swords, doesn't mean they fight the same. If anything, the fact that Ike is a HEAVY sword user, instead of the more graceful rapierish type sword user like Marth, reinforces the idea that Marth isn't out.
c. Who cares if they both have blue hair, if they're both recognisable as Marth and Ike from Fire Emblem? o_o This isn't an original fighting game, this is Fire Emblem. The characters have had histories/legacies before this game.
This isn't TP Zelda, this is Smash Bros Zelda. As mentioned here a few times, Zelda didn't even use the goddess' magic in her games in the way that she does in Smash Bros. I don't think there is particularly a focus on "TP" this time around - it's just that Twilight Princess is the most recent console Zelda. Mario and Donkey Kong have elements from their recent games.
What does this have to do with picking them? He just said he doesn't like them. And why does not minding their design mean you could avoid picking them, but if you dislike their design then you couldn't tolerate them in the game at all? I don't really follow how that works..Dina said:
I agree with the logic that character A's inclusion doesn't mean character B's exclusion. However, like at least 4 other people on just this page disagree with that.
Hero said:
I have issues with Mr. Game & Watch and Mewtwo... why should they be replaced? They aren't clones. I can't think of any reason why the two would be replaced.
Pichu always struck me as the token joke character... and I thought we -had- been told we were getting Wind Waker Link, but that could have been long, long ago.
