So what do you think the "surprises" are going to be at comicon? New characters? Veterans? Gameplay modes? Wii U release date? Something else?

They reveal that they have genetically created a real Captain Falcon to help save the world by falcon punching all evildoers.

Perhaps I shouldn't joke in every post but that one was too good imo to pass up. I think we may get some veterans or a newcomer and some stages but they'll hold the Wii U release date for a Direct, perhaps until after the 3ds launches to not steal any of its thunder.

Working on the profile pic. Trying to find a good one for me.

I think they're gonna either show a trailer revealing a veteran & a newcomer or show off an exclusive game mode for Wii U.

You know, we haven't had a full Direct since February. All the others we've had only focused on a single game. I wonder when the next one is.

Muddy Mole for Smash! Sure, he was only in one game a while ago. But so were Ice Climbers! And he has moveset potential, such as kicking balls (no, not like THAT), burrowing underground, and creating holes for other fighters to get stuck in, like a Pitfall.

We are certainly missing the "completely random character from that super old game", the last two games had two of those each if I remember correctly. (Mr G&W + Ice Climbers and ROB + Pit)

Probably a veteran or two. Not expecting any newcomers since we just got Robin and Lucina, but I could be very wrong.

I imagine at least October to tell more about the Wii U smash and more about the E3, 2015 games coming out early in the year. We could get one in August about the 3ds smash as well but who knows other than them at this point.

Newcomers that I think have a chance of making smash 4.
Bowser Jr, paper mario, Isaac, Dixie kong, king k. Rool, black shadow, shulk, chibi robo, hades, and Ghirahim.
Odds are not even half of these characters are going to make it, but it sure is fun making a wishlist!

Just wondering, in the English version of Awakening is Lucina said with a k sound? I would have thought they'd spell it as Lukina but I guess using a c is more in line with European languages and western names, at least in the style of English and French. I don't know where Robin came from, but I guess it is gender neutral. Much better than what Capcom does with the monster names in Monster Hunter.

If they do announce a newcomer at Comic-Con, I hope it's a villain. Too little villains so far. K Rool, Ridley, or Hades please. Also, anyone know what time Nintendo's Twitch stream starts?

Lucina is pronounced the same as it reads. Lu-ci-na (Lu-SEE-Nuh).

Has anyone else noticed someone demanding Classic link in Miiverse post replies, is that trolling or something more deluded. It always confuses me.

Yeah, I noticed those. Everyday this guy makes a comment on the Pic of the day begging Sakurai to add Classic Link & Goemon to Smash because their in the "official" Smash Bros. Wiki

I'm hoping for Excitebike Rider. He would be very unique by fighting entirely while on a bike. The Excite series feels long over do for some bigger recognition. They even had 3 games back on the Wii! (ExciteTruck, ExciteBots, ExciteBike World Rally)

That or I think it'd be pretty funny to see Urban Champion join the battle.

So it is different. Anyway for multilingual people or for people whose native language is different, the way its spelled out wouldn't reveal a words pronunciation, especially with a non-phonetic language.

I've been saying it with a k sound so long I don't think I can change.

Reminds me of Arceus' pronunciation. I always pronounced it Arse-ee-us, but the official pronunciation is ARK-ee-us. The former is used in Battle Revolution though. Both are pretty much considered correct now

I'm still thinking balloon fighter as the most likely of the nes/gb era because of the stage and the balloon icon. Also, he was planned for melee and considered for brawl.

I don't know when the game came out in EU and NA, but we had it for a while here and the name was always Lukina to us. When I saw it as Lucina for the first time I thought it was a style choice on the part of the localizers, but I guess they changed the pronunciation.

Anyway I found this topic, looks like this is a common question.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/643003-fire-emblem-awakening/6...

In Italian based on that spelling her name would be more like Luchina, and French has it as Lucine with an s sound.

Im trying to think of words in English that have a ci but are pronounced like a ki.

There's a similar issue with Lucas, where in Japanese his name uses the French pronunciation but in any localized material like Smash they use the simple English pronunciation for the name.

A lot of FE names come from French or Italian or Latin, like Noire.
