  1. Popularity still IS a factor though. Not the most major factor (I'd give that to relevance and importance to the game series), but it should still be one nonetheless. I mean, none of us would like it if a character everyone hated got in.

    The most important factors are popularity, and moveset potential. That's really all of Sakurai's criteria when picking characters. I'm not even kidding you. Oh, and they need to be Video Game originated, and have been on a Nintendo platform.

    Uniqueness is what adds people to these games. Popularity helps, but it's all about uniqueness. Look at Wii Fit Trainer. She's not a requested character, yet she's in.

    Then the clones come along to buff up the character count if time remains.

    You get it ~

  2. It has nothing to do with Toon Link being in or not. Remember 75 M in brawl had a DK's grandpa.

    Conductor Link is the descendant of Toon Link, he isn't Toon Link.

    Visually, they're almost identical though. I do get what you're saying either way

  3. I really doubt Roy would come back after being absent from Brawl without having anything else to promote him, like a FE6 remake. Similar case for Lyn,

    I don't think everything is based on recent games. Yeah, it can help, but Roy's flatly more popular than any other FE choice right now, and, he was planned for Brawl. Just because a character is recent doesn't mean it's the most likely addition.

  4. Arena Ferox in the trailer really does suggest an Awakening rep. I doubt they'd have that and then not include Chrom or Lucina (or a masked Marth costume?).

    My main issue with this theory is that it just doesn't really mean anything. We have a Spirit Tracks stage, an Ocarina of Time 3D stage, and a Skyward Sword stage. That doesn't mean we'll get newcomers from each of those games though. I do think Awakening will get a rep, but I wouldn't say that seeing that level does much for them. Plus they still have Roy to compete with, who is significantly more popular than every other FE newcomer in the Smash community. Heck, Lyn is more popular than Lucina.

  5. Would you mind it X & Y were repped by Newtwo? I think that's our most likely situation. Sakurai was quoted at the Pokemon X & Y roundtable that "He's thinking about" the inclusion of Mewtwo. I think he'll be included.

    As a major Zoroark fan, I can only hope she is included. I think her illusion ability is something that could really bring a nice flavor to Smash.

    I personally never minded cuts. They happen, and it's usually not that many characters. Especially with the Pokemon series, cuts almost seem unavoidable.

  6. Pokemon is a masssssiiiiiiiiiveeeeee franchise. It really does have the most possible contenders out of any franchise, only being rivaled by Fire Emblem. So, this thread is where you can come and discuss all those characters.

    Veterans: Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokemon Trainer Kanto, Lucario

    Cut Veterans: Mewtwo, Pichu

    Potential Newcomers: Zoroark, New Pokemon Trainer, Genesect, Newtwo (If you consider this seperate from Mewtwo), Meowth, ect.

    The list goes on. So come, discuss!
