It's almost like racism.

Be careful now, you're confusing ethnicity and nationality. Clearly theres a lot more diversity in countries like France or the UK or the States, but anyone who has been to Japan knows there are immigrants and foreign-born permanent residents here.

Im curious about the Fire Emblem content. The 3DS stage is actually from one of the more boring looking stages, but as far as what happens in the story its actually quite important. Since its the first time that two of the most important characters in the game meet (Chrom and Lucina), its possible that both are in the game.

@Tsuchinoko Chrom and Lucina meet in one of the first chapters, I think 1, it's the one with the burning forest and risen that was included in the demo.

Yes, in the cutscene, very briefly. But I'd say their first substantial meeting, i guess before he knew who she was, was at the arena. I guess thats my opinion .

@Tsuchinoko Perhaps One of them can make it in, and the other could be a character swap.

@UGXwolf Lloyd is a good choice from Namco, but i'm still hoping for Dig Dug/Taizo Hori XD

I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!

I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!

Character swap? Like the rumored diddy an dixie pairing? Honestly, I've really wanted a female FE rep, and Lucina is a great example of a strong female character, but because of the nature of their relationship and the story, i wouldnt mind it so much with them.

I would be okay with Lucina replacing Marth and having an alternate costume where she is pretending to be him.

Come on, friends,

This.

Im on board. She could both have her normal long haired sword master look, and the Marth imposter butterfly mask look

Little Mac! A Western favorite for Smash with little to no Japanese following (according to Miiverse) was announced as a playable character! This means that Sakurai is considering the West at least as much as he is the Japanese fanbase.

Your argument was mostly sound (pretty much the exact thing I thought), but avoid making assumptions like the one above. This isn't indicative of all Japanese gamers and could very well have focused primarily on negative complaints to try and justify the idea that the Japanese are just as bad. I recommend actually observing the behavior across multiple sources to reach this conclusion.

I have to agree with you here. Even if Micaiah was a terrible FE protagonist (blessed long range magic makes her a bit more likable). She'd add more to the Smash Roster than Chrom or Lucina. There are enough blue-haired swordsmans, and picking pretty much any other character than the main few from Awakening roster is going to start a war in that already unstable fanbase.

To some degree, I went into the argument expecting to leave holes. Despite how much I want him, Lloyd is still not the most well-known Namco character. Even so, I said this after at least two sources. There was something posted earlier. It was a link to another website with a post about what the Japanese fanbase thinks about certain franchises and characters possibly coming to Smash. It said that they generally only bring up Little Mac to talk about his Western popularity. Of course, there are exceptions. THere are always exceptions, and it's possible that the poster was looking at a fairly biased source, himself.

Also, in that mix of negativity, there are a few positive comments like "he looks like he'll be fun" and "Yes! I was hoping for him!" and something like "Oh, cool. He had a lot of support from the West. Glad he could make it in."

The UGXloggery ... really needs an update.

Lucina could pretty much just be Marth, making her not really a new character. I, too, would prefer to see a different class of unit represented if they add more FE characters. And it's not like they have any shortage from which to choose.

Frederick would be overpowered, so include him please Sakurai XD

It is curious. Little Mac had a stage that we've known about since the beginning (though granted disguised) and Rosalina had the Galaxy stage revealed sometime before her arrival, so I wonder if other stages mean anything in terms of unannounced characters? There's the Arena Ferox stage (Chrom and/or Lucina), Wii U Kid Icarus stage (Palutena), Pyrosphere stage (dare I say it, Ridley), and possibly more.

Of course basing characters reveals completely around stages isn't likely whatsoever, but still something to ponder.

I don't know, I thought the same thing when people were like "OMG, ROSALINA CANFERMED!!!1!!" when the Galaxy stage was revealed...

I've still had my eye on that Arena Ferox stage, though...

We've also got:

A Find Mii II stage

A Pilotwings stage

heh, maybe Nester joins the battle now that Nintendo Power is dead.
Untitled

A Skyward Sword stage, although Link & Zelda's designs are still based mostly on Twilight Princess
Untitled

Also, there's a Pikmin 3 stage, yet there are still 0 signs of Rock & Winged Pikmin. Makes me wonder...
Untitled

And also, this Smash has the newest generation of Pokemon, but still no fighters to represent them, all Pokemon fighters so far are from older gens. Not saying there will probably be one (No Gen 6 Pokemon really stand out, except for the 3 starters). But I do feel we should get a fighter from the newer gens. So a Pokemon from Gen 5 would be cool too. Just really any new pokemon would be good.
