These are allowed to be either returning or new, like the character roster predictions correct?

Heath, I meant in terms of guessing something so far away. I still love the idea though, hence spending an hour putting a list together
These are allowed to be either returning or new, like the character roster predictions correct?
i remember sakurai having decided on the complete brawl roster in the first few weeks of development with snake and sonic as late additions. if this is the case again i doubt we'll see mewtwo back even though he has a movie now with a new form. probably not even a new pokemon.
the only thing i want is snake and sonic gone and no more third party characters.
You're saying this quote from him that's floating around is fake?
"The game system itself is complete, so we don’t want to make it 3D or introduce complicated controls just for the sake of it," he said. "However, I am thinking of ways we can introduce a slightly different, fun experience all the while keeping the usual frantic game play."

"Sorry. I'm not very smart but I can't tell a lie so I'm just going to write it.
As for the previous game's characters, some of them will disappear. Definitely.
For the last game, we struggled to assemble 26 characters. We tried really hard and unintentionally reached that number.
But, although you'll see characters from the last game, this time, on a significant scale [Yes, this is exact], they will be remade. It is this sort of thing [This sentence is slang, so there really isn't a good English translation for it].
For argument's sake, no matter how much staff there is, with just manpower we can’t just put in everything, and as my own job [read: workload] does not decrease, there is a limit.
But, the consumer’s desired things to be included [There really isn’t a good English equivalent for that word] are weeeeell understood. You will be [he doesn’t give a subject to the sentence, so I’m using ‘you’] happy regarding the adapted characters moving around on different stages as well [The email he is responding to complained about how there are only 3 stages from SSB that are stages in SSBM, so I guess this infers that there wont be a whole lot of previous stages].
So, we will once again struggle to create characters. I cannot promise you anything other than that.”
Viewtiful Joe. How perfect would that be?
Edit: Oh shoot, Bayonetta. That would make perfect sense.
Yep, New.
No way. Especially not Pac-Man. I'm not sure if you're serious or if you're joking, but I really doubt these will be in SSB4 myself.
doesn't she use gun heels though? Also, her design (ugh) doesn't fit at all
Hard prediction: they're going to replace Marth with Lucina. That and Pacman getting in are the only two things I'm sure of.
Pacman is getting in, no way around it. There is no potential future in which Pacman doesn't join the rooster.
This is the roster I have for SSBU (going for something a little unique here):
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Bowser
Yoshi
Wario
Donkey Kong
Link
Zelda
Ganondorf
Samus + Zero Suit Samus
Pit
Ice Climbers
R.O.B.
Kirby
Metaknight
King Dedede
Captain Olimar
Fox
Falco
Captain Falcon
Pikachu
Pokemon Trainer
Ness
Marth
Mr. Game & Watch
Sonic [SEGA]
Tails [SEGA]
Snake [Konami]
Simon Belmont [Konami]
Megaman [Capcom]
Phoenix Wright [Capcom]
Rayman [Ubisoft]
Desmond Miles + (Altair + Ezio + Conner) [Ubisoft]
Maxwell [Warner Brothers]
Spyro [Activision]
Cloud [Square Enix]
Professor Layton [Level 5]
Pac-man [Namco]
This is a third party heavy roster, to help build/maintain relationships with third parties. The Nintendo characters that would have been in their place will be in SSB3D and can be transferred.
Yes, I know this will never happen
Am I the only one who thinks Pacman is a terrible character? Namco should take SSB4 as an opportunity to introduce a new IP and change their mascot.

Luigi (w/ Poltergust 5000)
Link (Skyward Sword)
Young Link (Link to the Past 2)
Mewtwo
Lucina is more likely than Chrom; she is by far the most popular character in the game in both America and Japan and the game needs more female characters. Not to mention that she can easily replace Marth. I really don't see Chrom getting in if Lucina doesn't.
No one will replace Marth ever. Besides, Marth's FE13 design makes him look nearly identical to Lucina.
Marth is the only FE character that is guaranteed for Smash 4.
I don't really like any of the characters from Awakening enough for them to warrant a conclusion. Between Roy, Marth and Ike I don't see a spot for Chrom. Maybe someone like Tharja? Someone less......obvious?

As for bolded comment, I could see the darkhorse FE character being Anna. In the North American FE13 poll she got nearly the same amount of votes as Chrom, and unlike every other female FE character, she is "evergreen" (she is guaranteed to make future appearances in future FEs).
Lucina is really, really, REALLY popular. Awakening sold more than any FE game in the history of the franchise. They may not replace Marth, but Lucina may as well be confirmed already.
I don't think Roy is coming back.
Wait, so we can't try and play it safe by picking the Home-run Bat?

He was planned for Brawl, and is the most wanted FE character for Smash 4, and overall within the Top 10 most wanted characters for Smash 4. His chances are extremely underrated among the NeoGAF set.
As for poll results, I'm seeing mixed messages in this thread alone on who is a more popular FE character.
Dat hyperbole. Lucina would just be yet another a Marth clone. Other than Little Mac and Takamaru, I don't think any newcomer is guaranteed.Lucina is really, really, REALLY popular.

You should see the Super Smash bros. 4 message board on GameFAQs. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with Fire Emblem. Important characters like Ridley and King K. Rool should be given preferential treatment.so the next Smash Brother is going to be all about Fire Emblem characters
I don't think Little Mac is guaranteed either. Punch-Out isn't very big in Japan and I think it might be hard to make him into an interesting character in Smash Bros.

Palutena is too "big" in my eyes to get in. Medusa seems more manageable and is a villain rather than another hero. And Hades would be the equivalent of Palutena so that's why I rule him out.
RE: Marth - if they're going to put Marth into the game>_>why not just put Lucina and let her alternate between forms. Everyone thought it was Marth prior to Awakening being released anyway.
Can Nintendo include K. Rool? I was going to include him in my predictions but I chose Dixie instead since they wanted her in Brawl. I assumed Rare owned the copyright to the Kremlins (hence why they weren't in Returns) and hence why I didn't think K. Rool was doable.
If Little Mac doesn't get in, then something is wrong with Sakurai's brain. Punch-Out is still one of the most iconic Nintendo games ever made, especially in the United States. And moveset potential is the least of his worries. If they can make Captain Falcon work, Little Mac should be a cinch.Even Japanese Smash Bros. fans have talked about the overseas popularity of Little Mac and Punch-Out. I am sure if Little Mac does not get in it will be due to Sakurai not being able to make him a worthwhile addition rather than a lack of popularity in his home territory.
It proves that Punch-Out is still relevant, even in Japan. If Japanese popularity mattered, Samus wouldn't be in the game.What does this prove?

Palutena can change size.Her Final Smash could be a bigger form, possibly a variation of Pit's old FS.You encounter her in a normal size in Uprising and even fight her.
I'm betting on her, but really any number of Uprising characters could work. As long as it's not Magnus.

Why is he too boring? Because he uses his fists to fight instead of a weapon? Variety is a good thing.Little Mac is too boring, they should keep him as an assist. >_>
