That would be pretty upsetting if Captain Falcon actually stays as he was in Brawl. He was absolutely terrible in that game.

That still puts them as "who's" because that's niche.
Compared to the "everyone knows who they are" additions like pacman and megaman and whatnot.
Anyone else hate sonics new ty the Tasmanian tiger side mouth?
Fire Emblem is pretty damn popular. Not niche at all. I imagine that very few people were confused about who Lucina and Robin were in that reveal. I don't even play Fire Emblem and I knew who they were.
Prior to Melee I would agree that FE was niche, extremely niche because a small number of games were in released outside Japan. Roy and Marth were introduced and suddenly everybody wanted to know more about Fire Emblem, the series has gotten much larger over the past couple of years, especially with Marth's title (the first FE game) finally released in a language other than Japanese.
At this point for Nintendo if it is a character with a sword and an older style of clothing/armor and is not Legend of Zelda related they are assumed to be from Fire Emblem games.
Edit: Right now DOA/Tekken/Soul Calibur is more niche than Fire Emblem.

Nice! Can't believe Bowser Jr. actually made it to the roster. Hopefully this is real. :/

I'm guessing that's not Shulk as in "short for She-Hulk"Okay, I'm bumping this thread back up for a reason.
So, I know you guys heard about the leaks in Smash 3DS, and probably seen the videos on YouTube (even though Nintendo has taken them down.)
Yes, you guys pretty much seen Bowser Jr., Shulk, and Ganondorf. (Thank god for gifs)

It feels eierd to are so many jrpg characters popping up.
Not so much for the "who?" Factor, but because the roster is becoming decidedly less cartoony mascots. Its like when kingdom hearts stopped focusing on the Disney characters. I'm left going "wait, wasn't that the whole point?"
I actually missed the videos, sadly, but from what I heard, Ganondorf pretty much looks the same as he was in Brawl. Being someone who mains Ganondorf, I am not happy about this at all.

If the Mii Fighter is an indication of anything, the game emphasizes that fighters are divided into brawlers, gunners (aka projectile spammers), and swordfighters (although there are some obvious overlaps). I guess to balance the 3 categories they wanted to include a lot more swordfighters in this game and since JRPG characters are so heavily requested that's the best opportunity to add them I guess. XD
Lol. I found this on 4chan.
I also found a disguised reupload of the leaked video. Yeah, I'm not happy about Ganondorf. I want my i3 jab from Project M, dammit.

i honestly thought that was legit for a second. this was the same guy that threw a fit over the story mode ending up on youtube after all
The roster is legit, but yeah, the message isn't. It would be really funny if it was though.
you have to select it in some custom menu

As someone who mains Ganondorf/Falcon myself, I'm also pretty disappointed. Would've preferred a sword or something along those lines (his Hyrule Warriors appearance and fighting style would've been amazing, but I understand that Smash was in development long before that was announced, so I certainly wasn't expecting it). Or better yet, they could've brought in some fresh Zelda villain blood by replacing him with Demise. I just wish they would've done SOMETHING different.
I was wondering that too, but I just assumed that you had to select it through some alternate method.
Yeah, like that.
Sakurai has always made there be at least one character that has to be selected through some nonconventional method ever since Melee.
To be clear, I didn't want his moveset changed (other than Warlock Punch and his awful utilt). I wanted him to essentially retain his moveset, but also get buffed in the process, so he'd actually be viable.
