Viridi is from Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Miku is a mascot character for Japanese autotune.

No idea on the others.

Krom is the Lord character from the new Fire Emblem.

In other words, the "new" Marth/Roy/Ike.

--
SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!

I'm also extremely pleased with Ike above Marth. Maybe he won't kick out the not-Marth option for the new Lord this time.

--
SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!

This is a popularity contest from a magazine that Sakurai just happened to look at. There is one every month. Sakurai only posted it because Pit was number 1.

Burning Spies is one of my Specialties!

Is Kid Icarus really that popular in Japan?

SuperNiceDog is about 20% cooler then the other gurus.

well Kid Icarus IS awesome~

It's a very recent game that also happens to be really awesome, so probably.

If Sakurai is doing SSB4 too then I fully expect to see 3-4 Kid Icarus reps with even more as Assist Trophies or in background stages or whatever. Also the playable characters will be the best in the game, obviously.

I dunno I don't think we'll see too many Kid Icarus reps, maybe Magnus.

It took two games before Sakurai put in more than one Kirby rep.

Wait. Waluigi is #14? That's amazing!

And when he did, he made sure to make up for the two games that they missed ^_^.

If another KIU character gets in, it better be Phosphora.

And yeah, Dark Pit is a stupid choice. Keep him as an alternate skin for Pit, and possible throw in Dark Pit voice clips for it.

Viridi's cool, but she doesn't really do anything. Magnus would fit in perfectly.

Viridi's by far my favourite character, so just go with her!

it's not like Captain Falcon needed any moves beforehand!

speaking of which, god dammit we better get Samurai Goroh this time, I mean jesus get to it already Sakurai!

That was actually a DS game first, made by Level-5.

Not sure if it was from a Nintendo-only magazine but the only non-Nintendo characters are there are Miku, Sonic, and that Inazuma Eleven boy.
And all of those characters appeared on a Nintendo system.

And the only real out of place character on there is Waluigi, it's like how the hell did he even get on there?
Clearly it must be some kind of backlash from Nintendo not putting him in Mario Kart 7.

Didn't she already do that with the car commercial? I think there was a Miku concert in NA too, but I'm not sure.

Miku already did

Magnus would be lame as hell considering the rest of Kid Icarus's cast. He's just a generic swordsman.

Also, Dark Pit could work because of all the weapons in Uprising. Leave Pit with the Bow, give Dark Pit a club or a cannon or even the ability to switch weapons. Boom, completely different moveset.

Miyamoto: [cats] are kind of like girls. If they come and talk to you it's great. But if you try to talk to them it doesn't always go so well

I'd say it's practically a given we're getting one or two more Kid Icarus characters in Smash 4.

I love Magnus, but he would be too similar to Ike. I'd love it if Pit/Viridi/Palutena were the SSB4 KI reps. Dark Pit is best as a recolor, like he was in Brawl.

Although I'd give everything for playable Pandora who would transform between fireball form and amazon form

--
Bah... forget it, i'm not creative enough to think of a clever sig, I'll just write this.

also Dark Pit should just be a Pit colour. Not a separate character. I want my new characters to be for actual new designed characters - I mean it's not like Smash uses the characters' personalities.


speaking of which, Dr. Mario better be a Mario costume already. hell yeah give us real costumes, oh oh Tanuki Suit of course~
