Yes, we need a grass pokemon

Last thing after this reveal how many spaces are left for new fighters? Im guessing one more after this and that's it. And is going to be the best one so is going to be cacturne. Cause he is grass and we need a grass pokemon like right now.

If anyone's wondering, here's the Monolith Soft dev who tweeted (Xenoblade writer Yuichiro Takeda):

LOL. Right now Sakurai is yelling at him: "PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!!!!!"

I would like to point out that we have no need for a Grass Poke'mon and the reasons are two-fold. One, type advantage likely doesn't play a very big role in this game, so acting like the types actually matter is silly. Two, even if it did, Water>Fire (Greninja>Charizard) Fire/Flying>Steel/Fighting (Charizard>Lucario) Fighting>Dark (Lucario>Greninja). We already have a trio and it actually manages to avoid the fire>grass>water>fire stereotype. Bonus points for Sakurai.

Ivysaur was the best Pokemon Trainer pokemon from Brawl. I wish she could return, but I guess that's not happening.

I'd rather they keep Ness and Lucas than add someone new. And what anniversary are you talking about? The anniversary dates for both the original Mother and Mother 2 AKA Earthbound haven't happened yet.

As far as Marth vs. Chrom, it's a little difficult. Both are similar, or at least could have very similar movesets. Marth is popular in Japan, is a mainstay of the series and definitely has his importance to Fire Emblem. But on the other hand, while Chrom is new, his game basically reignited interest in the series and kept it from dying. They're both pretty important when you think about it...

I still want a Grass Pokemon. People would have said Wii Fit didn't need a character but it got one. I don't think there has to be a Grass Pokemon for any reason other than I love Grass Pokemon

Sceptile or Chorus Men pls. Seriously, I don't get the hype for shulk! You know what, Sakurai should just show him so there's no more requesting him. Pokemon is a BIG franchise, it always sells good, so ofcourse we need alot of them in smash! In poke balls or playable! If you'd ask me, it deserves 7 reps! Same goes for Mario, but he is the MASCOT OF NINTENDO! Zelda and Kirby are still well selling, but less populair then the other two. Am I the only one who didn't know who Shulk was until they kept requesting him?

I also hope it's the Rhythm Heaven representative. Let's hope that retweet didn't mean anything!

Platinum actually did the same 3 times, and it did not involve anything Platinum related.... it could just be friends helping friends, or Sakurai asking him to help troll us....

Oh that's some next level trolling right there! I bet he actually did that ._.

I was thinking something like that might be happening, I hope it's true. It'd be a shame to now watch the reveal and see that it's something everyone expected. I want to be surprised!

But now we're expecting it to be a troll tweet... so now he's actually going to show us Shulk and we'll be surprised after all!

There's very little they could do to surprise me. If Marshal even gets revealed before the game launches, I'll be legitimately shocked, but other than that, the remaining newcomer pool is actually fairly low, if you regard it with care. The veteran pool actually outsizes it, at this point.

On that note, unannounced veterans! We're still waiting on:
Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Ness, Ganondorf, Wario, Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, Metaknight, Falco, ROB, Wolf, Lucas, Snake, Ivysaur, and Squirtle. Honorable mentions go to Mewtwo and Roy who have a shot at returning (but not much of one), Young Link who essentially still is in the game, and Dr. Mario who will probably be an alternate costume for Mario. No shout outs for Pichu, though because not a chance. >.> (Though you can argue he's still in the game because goggleschu.

Uh... when?

Cause last I checked whenever the folks at Platinum did it there was something Platinum-related involved (Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2). Same with Monolith Soft.

I'm not expecting Shulk, despite the tweet. I just really don't want to be disappointed if it's not him.

If you remember correctly, there were trophy quizzes from the Super Smash Bros. Direct. These were hints at which characters they would be revealed. Here's so far:

Tiki Trophy - Ike
Fi - Sheik
Pseudo Palutena - Palutena
Kihunter Queen - ???

Imaging if Kraid from Metroid is revealed.

We seem to forgetting the obvious: Zero Suit Samus
