Ryu is insanely cool and anyone who doesn't appreciate that is stuck in the dumb belief that main characters are inherently boring. There, I said it.

I like ryu but chun-li and ken are cooler

I have nothing against Chun-li, she is very cool. She would be an ideal second SF rep, after Ryu. But Ryu is the primary face of Street Fighter, and thus is the top Smash candidate.

This isn't MVC, where they do shameful things like kick out Classic Mega Man in favour of Zero. There is an order to these things.

Ryu is more famous than Phoenix Wright, and Sakurai includes only the most famous third-party guests. I offer my condolences in this trying time.

Where's Shrek then?

Shrek is not a video game man. He has been in video games, but he is not of the gaming world. And he lacks a Strong Nintendo Connection.

Sadly, this is also the painful limbo in which Goku finds himself.

I think Ryu would be a better fit than Phoenix Wright because Ryu is the de facto face of all fighting games and the one time Phoenix Wright was in a fighting game he was bad.

Maybe they'll pull a Bait and Switch and replace the SF2 Ryu files with BoF Ryu files to push their dumb new mobile BoF6 game they're making/have made/who cares because it's probably bad.

Roy would be cool if they pulled a Bowser Jr, and made all his alternate costumes different Fire Emblem protagonist with him as the default. that's probably not going to happen but it should.

why do people get mad about this game having four characters from one of nintendo's longest running franchises

are they scared that if they look at an anime for too long they'll watch naruto

Roy could have a swap with his dad Eliwood but no other FE protagonist would really fit.

I don't think Fire Emblem is bad or doesn't deserve characters, but it's important to spread the love around. There are still big series that haven't had any new characters yet in SSB4. For instance, Zelda hasn't had any wholly new characters since Melee.

and? they've got every major zelda character in the game. who would you add that people would be clamoring for? impa? she's only been made an actually important character extremely recently.

fe has four characters. two of them are from an incredibly recent, very popular game. one of them has been in since melee. one of them is a clone that was very easy to develop by her very nature.

Ike is the only one who seems like he could have reasonably been cut, and he was a pretty popular character in Brawl so it makes sense to keep him. I'm not seeing this 'FE favoritism' that people clamor about.

I was gonna say who else is worthy of a slot, but I guess if you could come up with a decent moveset for Impa, Groose or Girahim, I'd be all for it.

I'm not mad that FE has four characters. I think all four current FE inclusions are good. I don't know where you're getting all this from "spread the love around".

And yeah, Impa would in fact be an ideal choice, as she is the longest-running recurring Zelda character not yet in Smash Bros, and her recent incarnations are action-ready.

No Roy and Wolf because we already have Marth and girl Marth, and because we already have Fox and bird Fox. Lucas and Mewtwo are okay because thier coolness over rides any similarities to other chars.
Wolf is way way different from Fox/Falco though. Like possibly more different than Mario and Luigi are.

Falco is basically the slower version of Fox, right? And Wolf was slower and more powerful than both?

I didn't play brawl much.

Wolf's Up-B is mostly the same as theirs, his neutral b is quite similar and his reflector is just like fox's.

The entire rest of his moveset, including every single one of his A moves, is completely different.

Falco was basically just a slower stronger Fox in melee but he had mostly different A-moves in brawl and he's more differentiated now. He's closer to Fox than Wolf is, though.

Wolf has completely different properties on his normals specials and smashes

You can spot the people who don't think about or use normal attacks at all because they're the ones who think Wolf is a clone.

Wolf had a split second of invulnerability on his reflector shield start up. Attacks would just pass right through you.
