That leaked roster seems to refer to the 4chan one. In that post it links to vergebens reddit post where he heard Raphael is not in. But raphael is in the 4chan list.

Oh my god. FFS, they're not cutting out Lizardman. He's too unique, iconic, and already established as being part of the game to cut. I'm so sick of hearing people say this shit.

I don't think they are cutting him either, but honestly I don't know what to believe at this point. We don't know how many characters are left to be revealed. We have vergeben's leak competing with the 4chan leak. We don't know what the bottom circles are and we don't know if there will be a CAS slot.
So honestly anything goes aside from guarantees like Cervantes.

I'm not trusting leaks anymore, too many conflicting leaks and too many inconsistent results. I'll believe what I see and take what I hear with a grain of salt.

Given that the deluxe edition is $40 more than the regular, and the season pass is the big ticket item in that... eeehhhh.
I believe the word you're looking for is amazing. It would be the perfect combination of lizard, stabbing, and justice.

the only thing i can possibly theorize from this is the dotted lines between the circles and how some connect and some don't.
otherwise i have no idea what could be missed.
edit: i have to go to work but you can see what im talking about here. in between circles there are dotted lines that connect to characters. top and bottom don't connect to each other. (unless you count the middle circle connecting sophi, groh, kilik, and geralt)

The only thing about the roster that makes me "sad" it's the lack of a new female character.

So should one underscore all the dotted lines, this is the pattern that emerges:

The thing is, the dotted lines were noticed and discussed way back when we only had Sophitia, Mitsurugi, Kilik, Xianghua, Nightmare, and Grøh.
So that doesn't exactly line up with "not a single person noticed yet".

I doubt Vergeben's source has paid attention to every post ever made on the selection screen topic on every forum, Facebook, and Twitter. It very well could be something that's already been discussed.

And what if is something related to the different levels of the tree? From the ground to the top?

Just for fun, I came up with ideas for 2B's moveset because I imagine her as being a DLC guest later.
- Combos involve her signature throwing of her sword, which she can also use as certain moves to disrupt enemies as a pseudo projectile.
- Like in her home game, she can engage in rushing, and can float in the air temporarily for more combos.
- She has a special trait that involves the Evade mechanic. Basically, if timed right she can instantly dodge an attack and appear at an advantageous position. May require meter in case it's too OP without it.
- She can be supported by her Pod in the middle of battle, which depending on the move can shoot either a machine gun, laser, or homing missile.
- Speaking of the Pod, it will assist her in certain combos.
- Her Critical Edge would likely be revamped version of one of her finishers from her home game. Not sure which one though, but something flashy.
- Because her home game features clothing destruction, she would be the first guest to actually feature it in SC. I can even envision a move where self-destructs and it explodes her skirt. You know, for science.

To me, the only things worth noting on the selection screen are:
- The links between icons that everyone noticed
- The weird drawing from Sophitia's slot to the empty one
- The tilted wind rose in the middle slot
- Yggdrasil in the background

I'm pretty sure they just aren't reading everything people say here and thay why they said that no one noticed.
And people should be happy Oda from Street Fighter isn't working on this game or else we would havea lot of important characters missing (Guile WTF, Ibuki, Sakura, Yuri (the SF Tira xD) Cody, Rose, Guy...) sure they managed by getting in the game eventually but too late in my opinion the game already have a really bad raputation.

I'm still trying to find what's up with that screen xD
Maybe the carpet at the bottom? There seems to be some sort of coat of arms or whatever!
Edit: it looks like... Soul Embrace? Left side is more "demonic" and right side is more "angelic"... Maybe I'm look too far xD

The two expressions beside eachother is "At first I was like.... Then I was like...."
I don't know all the newcomers, but Simon was one of the ones that I did and put out there.
I heard something about voice lines referencing Richter, but I never shared anything about it since the one that did seemed unsure what it meant and was for, and I didn't want to get hopes up saying "Richter might be in the game" if I didn't hear something more stable and exact.
But seeing that reveal in the Direct sure made sense of that bit of info.
1th place? Reading that sounds like Mike Tyson saying first.
It would've been even funnier if you said 3st place.
ba dum tss
I know people might not like some of Kozaki's Fire Emblem designs, but he still gave that series "a look" that was eyecatching finally and looked like something other than the vast majority of every cast looking like some generics from Record of the Lodoss War.
Here's something I don't get. People love No More Heroes.
Kozaki designed all the characters for that series. So people are really weird and fickle is my takeaway. Was it that the characters got too varied and weren't as "grounded" aka overly simple looking anymore? Is it just bitchiness about the fanservice?
From a "we need this franchise to stand out" standpoint, the guy honestly helped more than hurt.
It went from an irrelevant series that was going to die and end with Awakening as its swan song if it failed, to making it one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. Love or hate how they got there, it got there.
If designs still looked as basic, simplistic and the anime equivalent of "nondescript fantasy characters" then I think Awakening wouldn't have took off like it did and failed too. The art direction trying something different and getting an artist known for stylish modern designs challenge himself to do fantasy designs helped more than it hurt.
I will agree that some Fire Emblem designs in general are simply better than others. But a lot of the pre-Kozaki designed characters aren't very memorable looking on average. I even say that as a big fan of the older games. That was the biggest area that held the series back big time.
It was ok when it started. But overtime it just became cast of resident sleeper looking characters with only a few true standouts visually.
If it's something other than the circles on the sides of the bottom row or the lines connection characters together like a character relation chart on the character select screen, then I am stumped and don't see what it could be. But some of the suggested things I'll pass along and ask once there's enough compiled to see if anyone got whatever it is right.

First time hearing about this guy, but from what I see, his work doesn't look very consistent.

Stepping away from the joke portion of the post for a second, the bottom triangle looks "incomplete". Adding an additiona entire row would "complete" it and properly mirror the top portion. It implies 5 additional character slots.

Excellent observation. Im going to assume that space will be reserved for DLC/Bonus Character/New Characters and the create a soul slot will be opposite of random. Ugh. Somebody can photoshop this for clarity
Then again who knows what the character select screen will look like in the end. Sept 1st and 2nd for that Melbourne will have answers we seek hopefully
