Impressions

I am personally still not impressed with this roster of newcomers. Out of the 10 (possibly 11 if Chrom is actually playable; it was pretty vague in the trailer) newcomers revealed thus far, only Mega Man, Little Mac, and to a lesser extent Pac-Man actually got me excited. If Shulk does get in, then he'll get me hyped but at this point I doubt there will be too many more newcomers, I'd say ~5.

Chrom is either Robin's Final Smash, or a Lucina skin.

I don't see how something as simple as a character could get someone less hyped. You don't have to play as them and the game has much more to offer. The disappointment and whining can't be avoided no matter what.

Chrom was confirmed as a final smash in the trailer, but i hope to god that shulk isnt in it, there are way too many characters with swords

Yeahs0

Even though Chrom isn't playable, there already are 11 newcomers. Villager, Mega Man, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina and Luma, Little Mac, Greninja, Mii Fighters, Palutena, Pac-Man, Robin, and Lucina.

In Melee We've got 14 Newcomers, in Brawl We've got 18 so maybe 20 Newcomers??????????

I still want Mewtwo and Shulk. Ridley seems somewhat like a pipe dream at this point, so Metroid will likely get shafted (again). Ray, Isa, and Isaac also seem pretty unlikely at this point (although Isaac has some chance since the Mii swordfighter has a very similar costume).

Yeahs1

Shulk has a chance. Mewtwo I could care less about honestly.

Yeahs0

Lucina is most likely just a skin for Marth I would imagine. Her moves looked identical to Marth's; Dancing Blade and 2 air attacks were clearly the same.

@Aaron: When did I ever say I was "less hyped" for the game? I merely expressed disappointment towards the newcomers. Is it unreasonable to be displeased with a fighting game's roster? Because last I checked, SSB is 1st and foremost a game built on fan service and I'm personally not a fan of most of these newcomers. Will this deter me from buying it? Absolutely not. But it's still disappointing.

Yeahs0

No. I'm just tired of this disappointment. We should be happy to any more newcomers at all. This disappointment makes me sad.

Yeahs0

NO MORE SWORDS! You can't just give every character a sword and a landrover final smash! I want Bowser Jr. and Knuckles and Mewtwo, heck maybe even Ridley! Characters who are more than just a skilled swordsman. Personally, I think that Link, Robin, and Marth are the only characters that truly fit without mimicking one another

Yeahs0

My rationale behind Mewtwo returning is he's far more worthy than any other Pokémon, had 2 Mega evo's in X/Y, has 3 movies, was advertised heavily for X/Y, and has already been playable in the series. Ivysaur will likely be replaced, so I don't see a better replacement.

Stephen,we only have like 5(6 if you include Robin)swordfighters compared to like tons of fist fighters. Nobody has a problem with having so many fist fighters so why complain about sword users?

Yeahs0

@Stephen: Shulk would make an excellent character despite having a sword. Actually, I have no problem with sword characters, and I would prefer if Ganondorf actually used his.

Yeahs0

Not sure if anyone already knew this, but Sakurai talked about possibly adding Mewtwo last year at a X and Y round-table. Anything could happen...even though you already know that.

Yeahs0

i wouldn't really call most of them fist fighters, they utilize what is unique and makes them fun to play in their games, but you can't prevent a character from having hands

Yeahs0

I truly think this game will have more than 50 characters, so if 6 or 7 have swords that's not a huge deal to me. I mean, can you really say Marth, Ike, Meta-Knight, Link, and now Robin fight anything like each other? They all feel distinct in their own ways.

Yeahs0

They don't though, Marth and Ike feel the same, I wasn't upset with Brawl but all the anime-type swordfighters are definitely a monolith.

Yeahs0

I bet the Rostet will be 50+ characters.

Yeahs0

Did you really say that Marth and Ike play similarly? They have literally nothing in common gameplay-wise besides their ↓B and even that has different properties to it. They may kinda sorta resemble each other, but that's where the simularities end.
