Decided to take a peak at Smashboards. It's one part people standing at the edge of a cliff, one part people telling them that they have more to live for, and one part people hunkered down in their bunkers willing to fight to the very end.

Actually I dislike Corrin since he feels like the reason FE rep is so bloated nowadays specially because of how he was revealed out of thin air when everyone was spectating Smash 4 ballot picks.

Lucario was fun to use in Brawl and became his own thing in Smash 4 which helps to be less redundant but I still consider it a unnecessary semiclone of Mewtwo in a timeline we already have a unnecessary semiclone for Pikachu
So that makes cutting a character with a fun moveset a good idea? Reducing the game's content so you can feel less salty about the roster being "bloated"?

Is lucario a semi clone of samus as well? All 3 basically share one move and nothing else.

Anyone who is seriously arguing for characters in the roster to be cut needs to get over their self-centered ego. It's okay to not like characters, but arguing they should be cut because you don't like them is pathetic. Other people do like them. Corrin has a fun moveset, but sure let's just throw them out because you didn't like Fire Emblem Fates. Yeah that's totally rational and not egocentric as fuck.

I thought the Smash community would get over this after Everybody is here, but evidently it has not.
Don't take things so personally lmao

I mean I'd like him in as an ironic punchline to be honest, and he has a lot of unironic fans. It's just I'm kinda finding it hilarious that there are a lot of Smash fans pretending they always liked him that would've been shit talking him five-ten years ago.

I would've never shit talked on Shadow. Sure he starred in a few bad games, but that doesn't mean I am not allowed to like the character. I've wanted him ever since he was deconfirmed as an Assist for Brawl, and Ultimate is/was his greatest chance with echo fighters and all.

Conquest is definitely a top 5 (or more) Fire Emblem game. I think Corrin is ultimately a worthy character based purely on that.

I'm not nintendo fan and I barely heard of Isabelle before last direct (I think I've seen maybe a couple of screenshots at most). As far as nintendo franchises go, Animal Crossing is niche. Slightly more popular than Metroid or Fire Emblem, but still niche.

Honestly, if you were hearing some of the arguments for characters being cut ("I don't want to see Dark Pit on the character select screen!") then you should have known that everybody coming back would still piss some people off somehow.

My disinterest in Fates stem both from their overly high representation in Fates, and a bit of favoritism. Other part is from Amazon fucking me over on the Special Edition by choosing the worst possible shipping and it getting lost in the mail forever

As a Corrin main, and as someone whose favorite FE is Conquest, the Corrin salt actually makes me stronger. I hope we get another FE Fates character in as an echo to make it even better!
Well, that's certainly rare. I'll give you that I'd be thrilled to have Azura represent Fates in Smash 4 with a spear moveset, but not only Corrin is a blank-slate protagonist even worse than Robin, he's yet another sword Lord. Not only that but his Smash representation is completely out of nowhere and doesn't look like how he fights and moves in his games at all. He was purely marketing material no matter the way you look at it and having him coming back for Ultimate won't change the fact he feels cheap, rushed and just an excuse to further promote Fates.

I wish Charizard, Ivysaur and Squirtle were three separate characters with their own slots not tied to the Pokemon Trainer and that the Miis had 3 separate slots and pages on the Smash website, that way it would be much neater, we haven't had it cleanly since the very first Smash as we had Zelda/Sheik, then Samus/Zero Suit Samus along with the Pokemon Trainer, and then with Smash 4 the 3 Miis in the same slot.

And they're awesome! Super fun to play as, with lots of cool moves. She can turn into a dragon for attacks and has a sword that can also function as a chainsaw. Corrin's the best! Let's get some more Fates characters!

Incineroar Ken and Dante sounds like a reasonable amount of characters left to be revealed. Some people think that we are getting 7-11 more characters. December might not even have any reveals since the game comes out early that month. The box thing can be legit if they finalize the box for stores to have despite Dante being in for Late November reveal. It will probably be laying in stores for like 2-3 weeks. That is reason enough to not have Dante on it.

Chair theory
Music theory
Box theory

This thread just keeps on giving. It will be fun looking back on this craziness after release

Absolutely none of these arguments make sense. Personality doesn't matter in Smash, they have a sword but it is far from their only weapon, characters come out of nowhere all of the time and it doesn't make them bad, most of the characters have movesets made from scratch (Captain Falcon and Fox anyone?) and do you want a list of Smash characters who were used as marketing?

First of all as someone pleading for Nintendo to make another Kid Icarus game I can't let Metroid and Fire Emblem be called niche.

Second of all this has to be the funniest all-in level of underestimation of a franchise's popularity I've ever seen.

I find it weird that we'd get more characters revealed in the Smash direct (5, 2 newcomers and 3 echoes) than in all the subsequent months up to launch (2-4 depending on who you ask). That's why I think the box theory is bullshit.

I'd advocate Female Corrin to be the default. Male Corrin is adorable enough to keep in.

If we cut male Corrin we can get the really cute haircuts for female Corrin in as new alts.

oh look, someone who doesn't know what a clone is

if you really think lucario is in any way derivative of mewtwo then you need your eyes checked
