Snake will be the equalizer

I hope so. Never even liked him but he adds verity.
 
Yuck. Lucina is such a waste of a slot. She's about as cloney as clones get. She even looks almost exactly like Marth. Don't know who Robin is, but his fighting style seems way more interesting.

Mostly though, I'm just disappointed that Shulks chances have decreased significantly now...
 
Guess my Avatar from Awakening isn't canon. The alt costume possibilities are amazing though. Hooded Robin, different hair style/build Robin. I think I have my main. Sakurai could've went all out with the spoilers and
have the evil variant playable with the Grima final smash
but this works too I guess.

The roster is looking great at the moment. Tons of cool characters. I'm not sure if my body is ready for a Shulk or Wonder Red announcement alongside this.
 
Why do we need a Marth cosplayer when the real Marth is in the game? I would have preferred Anna as a female Fire Emblem rep. At least she's not blue.

Robin looks great though, finally a real mage.
 
really? I was hoping Holiday meant more like late Nov - December, why would march 15 be holiday 2014?

Something to do with the winter period and dates, like how some work businesses start the new week on a sunday and not a monday.

Hopefully it's not but some releases in the past have taken this approach.

This whole post is logically absurd.
 
Oh, the guy definitely has inside info. No one can get Wii Fit Trainer right out of six guesses for the first E3, let alone Mega Man and Villager, as well. And no one could correctly guess Mii Fighters, by name, right before their reveal. He definitely has an inside connection, but yeah, he was off about Chrom for whatever reason.

We are assuming that the second and third leaks were by the same guy who got the first one.

Could be two or three people with incomplete information.
 
As I'm sure most of ya know, the leaker e-mailed me last night teasing Shulk.

He also e-mailed me again this morning saying Nintendo keeps a lot secret from Bandai Namco, and that Sakurai may change his mind as he does all the time, but that Shulk was 100%.

A quote: "I only know what has been done, not what or when they will be made available. Sakurai may change his mind, and he does all the time. Shulk will not be changed."

I've e-mailed him about the lack of Shulk, as well as the whole Chrom being a Final Smash thing. I'll update if I get a response.

Still finding it hard to believe. 8 for 11 is no easy task. I wonder what he has to say.
Very curious also. I still hope for Shulk and Chorus Men.

The leaker clearly knows something, to say he is completely without credibility just from tonight's announcement would be ignoring the impossible correct calls previously made.

A spanner has definitively been put in the works though. I hope we get a response.
 
A horrible thought just occurred to me.

If Sal's roster count/likeness of characters was right, what if he confused Robin with Shulk?
I doubt this, because I get the feeling Shulk was going to be revealed but was switched with Robin at the last minute. Apparently a bunch of Monolith Soft people were hyping up the trailer, which doesn't make sense looking back now.

Let me drink your delicious salty tears. If Isaac isn't in, I'll be fine with Shulk not being in.

Lucina being in just cemented my day on purchase.

Hell I might even import early Japanese copy now.

Slots are an urban legend.
 
Wrong Robin Sakurai...

His name in Japan is Robin...but Fire Emblem Robin is called Reflet/Rufure in Japan. Is there still a chance Sakurai???.

It could've been just a red herring to make the reveal more surprising.

Anna would have been amazing, but I will gladly take Robin. Anyone that isn't primarily a swordfighter is a good addition (even if Robin still has his sword...). I love Robin's generic design.

Lucina seems to have been thrown in as a Marth clone purely as fanservice. I don't mind it.
 
So 5 Fire Emblem fighters and just 1 from Metroid? Okay that makes sense.

Fire Emblem is one of the best selling game on the 3DS and a big franchise since Melee that is the game that brought Fire Emblem here.

Metroid is a pretty small franchise compared to it in term of fans. I'm even more surprised that there is 2 Mother characters in a serie with three games and where only one got in the west. Maybe a Mother Collection inbound with the Mother 3 joke from E3?
 
There is absolutely nothing absurd about his comment. She's a clone. And some people don't like clones.
Wrong. He said two absurd things:

"Lucina takes a slot from another character." The entire roster is one of the first things set in stone for the game.

"Shulk's chances have decreased dramatically." No they haven't.
 
Captain Falcon reveal today! Called it!!!!! (sort of!) Hyped! Although another recycled Final Smash, no matter how franchise-appropriate, is slightly anti-hype. It's a new game - recycled move sets I understand, but don't we deserve at least a new super-duper move to differentiate from the last game?
