To be fair, all playable characters get their own trophies. Although I agree, Sakurai wouldn't put a playable characters trophy in the trophy quiz, lol.

Your Pauline suggestion is very interesting, but Toadette will take her place. Smash Bros doesn't have a Mario Kart or Paper Mario representative and Toadette appears in both series, making her the perfect candidate over Pauline. Pauline is as unlikely as Paultena IMO.

Congrats on Pichu. :) I can't wait to see Toadette vs Pichu, will be the most brutal and bloody fight I've ever seen. :P

Umm, it's obviously fake because Toadette and Nester aren't on it and the latter has already been confirmed and the former has 100% chance.

I hope so, though I'd laugh if it was just the Waddle Dee letting go of his umbrella and it floating away.

Whilst I completely agree, I think tradition is the thing keeping Jigglypuff and Shiek. Both characters popularity have lessened from their prime and neither are relevant to their current series.

I remember once having me and my friend go on Dominion. After a twenty minute queue, we get paired with two bots and someone who only said '..' the whole game.

I have you know, my theory is much more sane than anything Game Theory has to offer!

As people have mentioned, her adapting her personality to the person isn't the exclusive reason of why Rebecca has MPD. I do however agree that it's fine she treats Wil rudely exclusively. The point in that regard was more or less as you said, her being lonely and depressed, a possible reason to why she has MPD.

Katarina isn't that popular, but the popularity she has is well-deserved. She's a good character and unlike most Fire Emblem characters, has quite a bit of time to develop who she is, what she's feeling and her relation to Gharnef/Eremiya. People are complaining that she's not competent as an assassin, but it's not like we know what Eremiya was doing to train them, other than it was harsh on them. I disagree, Katarina and Nino are nothing alike in my opinion. Whilst I'm sure they're both considered 'cute' by their fans, they have nothing in terns if design or character. You can find a resemblance in their back story, sure, but that's the limits of their similarities.

The Wind Waker-variation of his fighting style was the one I liked most, but given its cartoony design, I'd rather see something that looks more 'cool', so to speak. So it dosen't clash with Twilight Ganon's design, similar to how I personally think Phantom looks gimmicky as hell when Zelda uses it. They could've made it look a lot cooler instead of mixing Twilight and Spirit Tracks together.

Toadette will offer a lot of unique things to Smash Bros and is a unique choice (when the game is released, you should play her), which is also the reason Nester got chosen. I think Toadette, Nester, Wii Fit Trainer and Chorus Men show that Sakurai is really thinking outside the box to be unique. It is very cool. Another character I can think of is Starfy, he has his own series and gains quite a few powers in each game. Already confirmed as an assist trophy though.

The games I'd want, but are long dead and gone: Valkyrie Profile 3. Summon Night Swordcraft 4. Draglade 3. Mother 4. Rage of the Dragons 2.

Please give Ganondorf a sword for at least some moves!

Main character I want is Toadette, but it's obvious she'll be playable. I guess impossible characters I wouldn't mind are Mewtwo, Dixie Kong or Ridley since he's a boss. Unlikely characters I want are Bandana Dee as Assist Trophy. I would've liked Impa as playable, but Shiek is fine and also a Petey Piranha assist.

I don't think the second 'tip' is anything to consider. They're basically just suggesting the most popular Western picks (Pauletna, Shulk and Chrom) and then adding in a really wacky one (Chorus Men) to make it seem legit. Similarly, why would someone who has access to Nintendo's insides simply state 'Pokemon' from XY instead of which Pokemon it actually is. It's not like there are many XY Pokemon that had the chance of being playable either.

Edit: I screwed up on what colourblind is. Although I standby that Rebecca is delusional over it, lol! Seeing colours that aren't there is definitely serious! Rebecca's love is poorly written and doesn't make sense. Either Lowen grabbed her randomly out of a random set of people and thus, she feels as if that kind of thing is something 'special' (which implies a sense of being... well dumb?) or like the Tactician, she volunteered to help relay information to Eliwood and Marcus. Either way, it's shaky at best. She also says that Lowen came upon his steed to save the village, when in actuality, Lowen comes to grab two people to have Eliwood and Marcus save the village, as he helps. Since that's the case, she should have admiration for Eliwood or Marcus as well, but that's not the case. Rebecca and Lowen's support is meant to be a gag, yes, but there is something undermining here that we shouldn't miss!

Next time on Serenes Speculation... Devdan is a psychotic sociopath, taking on different persona's to hide his identity as he hunts down and kills famous individuals. But it's just a theory, a-- *shot* Well, I think as Rebecca has so many aspects to her character, she could have been good, but I think she's very poorly written and having dissociative identity disorder could explain this oversight. There are a variety of ways a person may obtain dissociative identity disorder, including traumatic experiences, depression and abuse. The last one, of course doesn't apply to her, however given her situation of being lonely with the two people closest to her, leaving her to go on an adventure together, she may very well be depressed. She seems energetic, but you can clearly see with her support conversation with Nino that she's lonely, she wants to make friends. With both Nino and Louise, she trivializes on things such as age and weapon choice to start a conversation. I agree with Shin's summary of her personalities, but allow me to put them like this: #1. An angry girl who puts blame onto others who may not be at fault. #2. A lovestruck girl, having delusions of grandeur. #3. A stern girl with standards, yet still accepting of who Sain is. #4. A clumsy girl, unable to tie her own bow, despite going hunting each day. #5. A girl eager to make friends with someone she can relate to. #6. A girl coming to terms with her brother's memory loss, but still happy to be able to talk to him each time. #7. Though not from supports, you can see from her introductions that she's a girl who thinks she's capable to fight a war of which involves killing bandits, praising her own ability to hunt and use a bow. From here, #1. we can dismiss since it only applies to Wil. #2 and #3 are questionable, Rebecca does it to one person, Sain does it to many. Comparable, but not conclusive. #4 and #7 however are alarming, she states she goes hunting every day, but doesn't know how to tie her own bow properly? Very strange. #5 and #6 are problems relating to her, which are brought up to her own leisure. The consistent thing about Rebecca is her inconsistency, her desire to see her brother and cooking. Regardless of whether her idealization is justified, she still has evidently shown that she cannot differentiate between certain colours, as well as showing signs having grandeur delusions. If she doesn't have multiple personality disorder, she has something. And it's not pleasant. Also, despite Lowen whisking her and Tactician away from the village, Groznyi showed no signs of harming or killing anyone, in fact it's clear his intentions were looting the money from the village, not harming anyone. Similarly, the elder (Rebecca's Dad) showed concern over the village being torched over anyone actually dying. Not to say there wasn't any danger, but there's no evidence she was in danger of even bodily harm. She wasn't even scared of the bandits, opting to fight them despite mentioning she has 'some skill' with the bow (should I mention, a D-Rank in bows no less!)

So today, I think we should discuss the most overlooked topic in the entire game and that is Rebecca's total mess of a character. Lots of people ignore Rebecca's character as she's a competent unit and that's more than enough reason for using her, but what about her as a character? Now, you may say 'Fire Emblem doesn't have strong characters!' and that may very well be true, however! Rebecca is a very, very rare case of character where I personally believe the writers didn't know what they were doing with her. With this all said, let's go into this... At the chapter she was introduced, she seems like an eager girl, ready to fight a war based on a favour she owes Eliwood's campaign for helping her village. Her plot is defined here as well, a young girl looking for her missing brother. So let's go into where the problem therein lies... Let's start with her support conversation with Wil. Wil's a generally nice guy, someone who grew up with her as well. So with this conversation, we can see her unafraid to be rude, inconsiderate and someone who generally holds a grudge over something that is not entirely that persons fault. It's obvious she was lonely after both Wil and Dan left the village, and is angry over such events. That's fine and all, but she didn't seem apologetic for how she treated him before at all, which brings us to her conversation with Dart. She finally finds her brother and is afraid of him. She here feels she offended him for being scared and proceeds to apologize. Given it is her brother, so there is leeway. In both of these conversations, she's affected by the disappearance of her brother, so there's some consistency! Then comes the horrid support conversation that is with Lowen... Her support conversation with Lowen is obviously meant to be gaggy, but you can see here she shows signs of delusions, finding Lowen to be a gallant white knight, riding a beautiful white stallion. Both of which, are of course untrue. The former especially, Lowen's damn ugly. Confidence issues, maybe? Her delusions for Lowen are also strange, considering in every other support, she shows no signs of being delusional when lovestruck. Another 'love' based support is the one she has with Sain. Here, she acts as if she is someone with standards, being mature about Sain's love conundrums, accepting him for who he is. What about Raven? Again, new traits appear. She's a clumsy girl who can't look after herself. Something consistent here though is her cooking, interesting to note. Nino? A girl eager to talk to someone her age and her desires to be friends with her. Yet more proof that Rebecca is lonely. Louise? Rebecca respect Louise and mentions that it's nice to see another archer around here, despite there being Wil, who was there for a much longer time than Louise. Why would Rebecca say this to Louise and not Wil? Simple, she has multiple personalities that appear depending on who she talks to. The conclusion? Rebecca is suffering from a case of dissociative identity disorder. This had probably came up as a result of being abandoned by Wil and Dan, putting her in an environment where she is alone and likely developed other personalities to keep herself company. In her support conversation with Lowen, you can see how serious her mental issues are, showing signs of having delusions, as well as being colour blind. So with all this, what's the moral of the story? Don't be a fool! Rebecca shouldn't be in the middle of a war. The people who support using her over Wil or Louise are absolutely disgusting, as Rebecca clearly has mental issues that shouldn't allow her to partake in battle. Please have a soul and bench her with Serra, so she can get proper treatement.

Sorry, but I am in full force for Toadette. She was really important in Paper Mario: Thousand Year Old Door as well. If she didn't explain the controls to Mario about the curses, he'd be forever stuck in the chest. I think a petition is in order. Edit: I wouldn't mind Goombella either, that was suggested before.

No love for Toadette being playable?

Anna's good trophy material, but hopefully they'll include a few iterations of her on the single trophy (they've done similar things with the Kirby hats and probably will with Megaman's final smash). Or maybe that's just me cause I find her clothes in FE13 pretty ugly, lol. Other trophies I'm guessing could be Lyn, Ike, Marth (these three basically confirmed anyhow), Micaiah, Avatar, Katarina, Soren/Sothe and of course Lucina or Chrom. Although, we're not exactly sure how the trophies will be done this time. In Brawl, about 90% of the trophies were just FE9/10, which I found pretty sad to be honest. Hopefully, a wider range of Fire Emblem games will get trophies this time, but I'm not expecting anything. I'd love to see FE4-5 trophies, but I don't see that happening till the games gets a remake or something. Speaking of which, can anyone tell if the trophies from Brawl were just direct rips from the models from FE9/10?

With all the speak about Chrom, I don't mean to be rude, but given Lucina's popularity in both overseas and (especially) Japan, isn't she far more likely? Neither really have anything to offer that warrants one over the other and they're both important to their respective game. The reason I'm saying this is, other than Miiverse, I don't see Sakurai getting opinion from many forums, so his information regarding our desires would be much more muddled compared to Japan, of which he would have a much easier time reading, understanding and finding whom they want from Fire Emblem, which seems to be Lucina according to the post which had people disliking Little Mac; which shouldn't be taken too seriously since we don't know where he obtained his information. And if IS are the ones recommending the Fire Emblem character again, they'd go with the most popular (whom I think is (and I may be wrong)) Lucina.

Actually reading your bigger post, I completely forgot about the Olimar nerf with 5 pikmin to 3. It makes me worried for Ice Climber nerfs, although they definitely need them.

I honestly think they'll change the heels with this public outcry (and whether they have time or not, probably not), although honestly? It's not a big deal.
