Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

I believe it was Mewtwo who got screwed by Sonic, not Roy. Did Sakurai ever explain why he cut the characters he did? As in more than just "Not enough time"

Wasn't it because both Mewtwo and Roy were near "complete" but got shafted due to constraints caused by Sonic?

Not enough sexualization of men imo. My Smash needs more bulges and firm butts.

Wolf is coming soon.
 
Keep that crap out
half-serious, half messing around

Yes, Roy being dropped from Melee to Brawl means another Fire Emblem lord must be dropped from Brawl to Smash 4. It happened once and it might happen again, so it's a pattern!

I have a feeling Ike will be back.
The biggest issue i'm seeing is FE being nothing but blue hair.
But I guess that's just what were in for.
 
It's pretty clear he doesn't want to cut characters, in any case. We've got Toon Link already confirmed to return (and he's the cloniest of clones) and other transformations gutted but the movesets retained... I'm not entirely positive that Ivysaur and Squirtle are down for the count. It just seems unlikely with a release date looming.

The thing about Toon Link is despite being a clone, the character himself has still been used in recent years. I don't know if this is why Sakurai added the Pokemon Trainer, but I always saw the character as a way to represent Fire Red and Leaf Green. Charizard is obviously back because like you said, he's got priority and the fact he's got two Megas in X and Y. I have serious doubts Squirtle and Ivysaur are coming back, especially with Mewtwo so heavily requested and Jigglypuff still unrevealed.
 
There's more well-known characters from a more successful, recent game, and given what happened to the last guy who had Ike's spot . . .

Ike's already one of the most popular fighters in Brawl and starred in two FE games as an utter beast of a unit. I think he is more well known.

Its all about promoting the new fanbase of Awakening, rather than because people dont know who Ike is.
 
I want sakurai to just post a video on miiverse showing off a newcomer, just saying fuck it and and legit shocking everybody. That will get people on edge again, they wouldnt know what to expect.
 
I'm going to throw my dart and guess that the next pic will take place on Pyrosphere showcasing how big characters get when they get a mushroom.

Before Roy got replaced with Ike, people would have said Roy was more popular than Ike, simply by virtue of being a star in Smash Bros compared to one of Nintendo's (then) niche franchises. As many have pointed out various times in the past, popularity isn't the only thing considered in these decisions.

I think it's safe to assume Sakurai will stick to just Marth and recent-FE-game character. I'd like Ike to stay, but wouldn't expect it.

The thing about Roy was that he was very similar to Marth. Ike is actually quite different from those two. That gives him a better chance of being in, I think.

There's literally nothing stopping sakurai adding 3 fire emblem characters

Ike is definitely more different from Marth than Roy or Chrom. If I was a betting man, though, I'd bet that the new FE character won't be Chrom, but Robin (or maaaaaybe Tharja) for that very reason.

Never said Ike can't be in the game, just that if there are any cuts, Ike is probably high on the list.

Also, time crunches and limited resources can definitely stop sakurai from adding 3 Fire Emblem characters, depending on where his priorities are. It's not like he can just will something to happen and it will magically appear.
 
Mewtwo, Ivysaur and Squirtle downloadable expansion pack, do it Sakurai. You killed my main from Melee don't do it again.

I need to hear how Ike is in any way a clone of Marth besides counter and blue hair.
Greninja and Lucario are Marth clones confirmed

Pic of the day. For the first time in the Smash series, Beam Swords will feature graduated colors. The attack item on the left is the Fire Bar. This is a peculiar weapon that becomes shorter after each swing.
