... The word "please" would have made it seem more like a request and less like a demand. It seemed that you thought GJ had said something that ignored your post, and were demanding that he read it.

This is true, I realized that after the fact, fyi. Still, it shouldn't have been too unclear because there was no such message in GJ's post.

Anyways, I was just poking around Wikipedia, which is a pretty reliable source for geeks (the main people who would update Wikipedia), if not for actual scholars.

Roy was first introduced in Fire Emblem 6.  It was released in March 2002 in Japan, according to Wikipedia.  Super Smash Bros. Melee was released in November 2001 in Japan, a scant four months before FE6's release.

So, it seems to me that the timing is incredibly fortuitous to make a name for Roy before he stars in his own game.  They could pull a similar move with M-09 and Project HAMMER.

EDIT: Additional information from Wikipedia's Roy page, in the Trivia section:

Quote:
 
Roy is the only Nintendo character to be playable in a game before appearing in his native franchise, with him appearing in Super Smash Bros. Melee before appearing in a Fire Emblem game. This was done in part to promote the release of Fūin no Tsurugi in Japan.


And the quote you offer is uncited, and is placed along with such gems as:
Wiki
 
Those who have played Fūin no Tsurugi are of a divided opinion regarding Roy. While the majority claim that he is a weak and near-useless main lord character, there are some who claim that he is a fantastic unit and is capable of maxing out nearly every statistic. However, getting a 'good' or 'bad' Roy is always down to the RNG

Obviously such nuggets of wisdom are not to be ignored.

Plus, Fire Emblem was a long running series. That's not the same as a completely new and untested series, it would be more like a new background character in the next Metroid game gets included in a new game in expectation of a new Metroid release. If Nintendo included M-09, it would be more like if they had added Pious Augustus from Eternal Darkness to Super Smash Brothers Melee.

... Hey, I want to nominate Pious Augustus to be a character in Brawl.

I would prefer Alex. You know, sword, some magic. Pretty balanced, I'd say.

And having to fight off a horde of zombies (all varieties) would be fun.

Alex would work too. Might be an interesting character as well, fast A attacks with the sword and moderate move speed, balanced by slow but strong B attacks.

I would prefer Alex. But he only has four shots, so how does that work? :P

Magic would need speeding up for ED characters to work, though.

Alex Roivas (Eternal Darkness)
Matching tanktop and jeans would be black, blue, red, or green.

B- Sword attacks. Mostly thrusting, since it is a gladius.
<|>- Enchanted Gladius strike. Sword laser.
V- Shield Spell. Counters immediate attack.
^- Sword strike upwards/third jump.

A- Magic. 3-point Magickal Attack. A blast of magic energy matching Alex's color.
<|>- 5 or 7 point Magickal Attack (depends on charging).
^- Mantorok-aligned Reveal Invisible. Makes Alex invisible.
V- 5-point Summon Creature spell. Summons a zombie that staggers around the stage.
