Wasn't aware I could do that, I'll PM the mods about it later when I get the details ironed out.
This is the best pause menu theme ever
I'd seriously love if Syrup got into the game! A great classic villain with a lot of move potential. Plus she'd add another female to the roster to balance things out a bit. Normally I'd say she has a low chance, but really, there's no telling who Sakurai will throw in there.
No Kid Icarus character has better chances than Palutena:
- Her name is in the Japanese name for the series
- She is a LEGACY character, who has been with the series from the start
- She is the second most important character after Pit -- the series' "Zelda," if you would
- Pit no longer has Palutena's Mirror Shield; he has Guardian Orbitars instead. I WONDER WHY.
- Palutena played a HUGE role in Uprising, and was wildly entertaining
- Palutena demonstrated combat prowess and other powers in Uprising
- Palutena and Pit shared the interior art for Uprising's box (North America included)
- Palutena was extensively featured in all three anime promo shorts
- Palutena even had a freaking PARADE FLOAT at a festival in Japan
- Sakurai will likely want to change Pit's Final Smash to the Three Sacred Treasures or
- She's a green-haired staff-wielding goddess -- unique in appearance and gameplay
- Sakurai clearly loves the hell out of her character from his treatment of her in KIU
Palutena is a virtual certainty if they're adding Kid Icarus characters.

As in "Heathcliff"
Thanks for restoring the faith back into me. I was concerned that they mightn't add a lot of newcomers.
I must see Palutena and Takamaru.
Duck Hunt Dog would be very nice bonus if he got in.
Again, Palutena had a freaking parade float in Japan
and anime appearances (even a hot tub scene in "Revolting Dinner")
Wow, I had no idea about the parade float! That's pretty impressive.
That anime short with her was my personal favorite of the three, too (in part because I'm a big fan of Shaft, of course).
I'm curious, has there been any popularity polls with the cast of KI:U?
Hey guys what's going on in he--
Welp.

I want to squeeze you until you pop for this post. However, Sakurai is the man who added tripping just to spite competitive players. The last time I applied logic to game development, I got burned badly.
I can understand that. Personally I like Hades more myself; I think I found him more amusing because of how much of a jerk he was. Palutena likely will get precedence though, given her history with the series.
To appreciate Palutena, check out one of my favorite exchanges in Kid Icarus Uprising. Not a spoiler. Very funny!
Don't get me wrong, I -love- how Hades is a jerk, I just feel extra attachment to Palutena because of her support role throughout the adventure.
If Wii Fit Trainer, ROB and Captain Falcon can work as fighters, I'm certain someone like her will be able to.
Palutena would be EASY to turn into a fighter. If they can make a fighter out of Wii Fit Trainer, they can sure as shit do lots of interesting stuff with Palutena. Hell, her Final Smash could be her Glam Blaster she used against Hewdraw.
You do realize that Palutena uses a ton of moves to draw from Kid Icarus: Uprising right? It's right there black and white clear as crystal! You can say a lot of things about Palutena, but not translating as a fighter? I don't buy it.

Oh Palutena more than works. You could definitely work in a moveset based on the stuff she does from KI:U. Go play the game and you'll see, or if you don't want to and don't care to be spoilered go to 12:30 in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_-sDX4FVMk
Also it's an excuse to get Ali Hillis into the game.
So if Wii Fit Trainer hadn't been revealed, you'd still think Wii Fit Trainer was a more realistic and obvious candidate for a fighting game than an all-powerful goddess who wields a staff and mirror shield and fires lasers and shit.
OK, Salsa. Go back to playing AC, lol
Yeah, Palutena is in there for sure.
Probably Hades too.
Dat Sakurai bias.
just like captain falcon amirite

I guess it says a lot about the games I play that I'd rather see the Magician here than Sonic. Ah, well.
Maybe his theme will make it.

The way she says "naughty" gets me every time. I've never even used this face, and don't know what it means, but it feels appropriate to type it in response to that video:
:3
She actually fights in the game - how can she not work as a fighter. It's a ridiculous claim in general, though, since many of the characters in this game never fight.
I can never choose between Hades and Palutena. They're both two of the best characters introduced to gaming this generation, and I doubt that will change. In a sea of bald space marines badasses, they really stand out as having great personalities.Don't get me wrong, I -love- how Hades is a jerk, I just feel extra attachment to Palutena because of her support role throughout the adventure.
I hope Sakurai indulges himself and includes lots of KIU characters. Then again, that blasted Japanese humility might get in the way.
...actually, there's even more reason for Palutena -- it's technically a character that existed before Uprising, so he can say it's paying homage to another creator's work, lol
Its not as much moves as it is just stance and movement in general. Something about it rubs me in a weird way when it comes to translate her into a fighting game character. It's her all floaty super gracefully powerful goddess thing. Whatevs.
I mean, I know i'll buy it if they decide to put her there, just speaking from my head.
I mean, it's easier when it's a character that is basically nothing until you put him in Smash. They can do whatever.
Damn that's a fine list.
The potential is definitely there all right. They could incorporate some of her minions and their weapons too. Also, I can see Sakurai going back to the first two Wario GBA games for some inspiration to make her feel more like that true arch-enemy/rival /villain to Wario. The Sweet Stuff was the stage I was thinking of too.
Yea there's no telling and the odds are still slim, imo, but I think she could be a great sleeper pick.

Palutena's movement could be a mix of the distinctive "standing float" (maybe with Mewtwo-style floating) and running around on foot, her majestic green hair and dress flowing behind her.
And Karsticles, I agree with everything you said.
Palutena is obviously superior to Medusa and Hades, but I sort of feel they might go for Medusa for her being the series' traditional villain and a female baddie. :- Hades may be a boss for all we know. Dammit, KIU has so many great characters. Maybe give it 3 slots? :-(
In other news, I'll be surprised if Magnus isn't an assist trophy.

Palutena's the only character I'm letting myself anticipate to some degree. Otherwise I'm fairly resolved to just accept whatever Sakurai gives us. I'm already super-happy with Mega Man, Villager and Wii Fit Trainer. Frankly, in regards to Villager and Wii Fit Trainer, I never knew I wanted them in Smash until I saw Sakurai's vision for them, which is the best kind of surprise. So, for the most part, I'm happy to trust Sakurai on the roster. I just hope for Palutena, because I love her character so much and I see a lot of reason for her inclusion.

Does Zelda bother you? Because they wear similar garments and move around in a similar manner. Palutena runs in the anime; I doubt she would "float" on the ground.
Medusa could make it in over Hades just for more female characters. Personally, I'd be glad to see 6-7 KIU characters make it in. Every non-Magnus character in that game has a great potential moveset. I just try to keep it realistic...

I'd rather just get a Wii U sequel to the game at some point this generation. :-DToo many awesome characters in Kid Icarus Uprising. Can we just turn the game into Smash Bros. vs. Kid Icarus? Or maybe Smash Bros. vs. Kid Icarus vs. Fire Emblem?
Top 5 first party Wii U games I'd love to see:
1) Pokemon MMO (players hold gym leaderships!)
2) Pokemon Smash game (Real-time trainer fights!)
3) Kid Icarus Wii U
4) Open World Mario (SM64 style, but remove the "world" aspect; just wander around looking for stars in the Mushroom Kingdom)
5) Takamaru done by Kamiya
Damn it Nintendo, get your shit together!
I take it you're quite the KI fan?Too many awesome characters in Kid Icarus Uprising. Can we just turn the game into Smash Bros. vs. Kid Icarus? Or maybe Smash Bros. vs. Kid Icarus vs. Fire Emblem?
All this talk makes me want to finish Uprising and play the 3D Classic.I'm really interested to know who the Kellogg's rep is gonna be. I honestly think they're gonna go for Coco
I just hope they go for the superior NZ/Australia design over the American one and knowing Sakurai I think he actually has a good chance. Anyone else?
I know you're joking and all that but this is stupid.

The only people who aren't KI fans after KIU are those who couldn't mentally grasp how to handle a game with unconventional controls.I take it you're quite the KI fan?
When I was a kid, I had no disposable income. All of my games came at Christmas, and then that was what I played for the next year. Most of them fell by the wayside, while a few got played over and over while I explored their depths. If I were a kid right now, Kid Icarus: Uprising would be the game that got played for a full year.
The game's only flaw is the weapon creation system. It's goddamn maddeningly hard to make your dream weapon. I eventually stopped playing because of it, though it shouldn't stop anyone else. It's just a personal OCD thing.

I don't personally see the appeal of Palutena. I guess at least she doesn't seem as awful as KI's Hades.
Kid Icarus Uprising was my GOTY 2012 (followed by Sleeping Dogs, and then Hotline Miami, if I recall correctly). I also played the other suspects (Journey, Walking Dead, etc). Uprising is just an incredible game, a once-in-a-generation sort of experience and one of Nintendo's finest. An instant classic and all-time great. I love it to pieces and logged more than 110 hours, which is insane for me.I take it you're quite the KI fan?
Very much agreed! And that happens with every Smash too. I'd never expect to see some of the characters work, but they are so well worked that I appreciate them every single time. Smash promotes the game universes it includes in a way no other crossover can; I don't think I've ever been disappointed about a character inclusion or the way a character was handled.
And likewise, I only have a few requests, but nothing that would disappoint me if didn't happened. I guess the closest to a disappointment would be a character removal, specifically that of Red. But I know Sakurai knows what he's doing and I'm sure the game will be top notch no matter what.

Ditto this post. Very special game with a premium feel in its entirety. Few games manage to be just so well made and enjoyable in their every moment.

(Though my runner up titles were vastly different!)

The original game is a good game, but not really much more. Uprising elevated the franchise to another level.
