I also want to see the Ice Climbers make a comeback with some improvements so many people don't hate on them anymore. I doubt the Ice Climbers will come back. They're pretty complicated, and gamers nowadays don't know much about them. They did have 5th place in the SSBB Tier List though, so I guess maybe.... If I remember correctly there was some mention by Nintendo about characters where there was difficulty with coding two characters being controlled as one (like Ice Climbers). Which means Ice Climbers may be the ones being worked on. I think Rosalina shows that they've worked that out. Couldn't have said it better myself Pierce! Rosalina and Luma confirm that Nintendo has figured out how to do a duo that fights together (like Ice Climbers, not Pikmin) And Ice Climbers are classic. They aren't going anywhere! Hmm... Then again, you can't put away the possiibilty that Rosalina and Luma are replacing the Ice Climbers. You also have to take in the fact that they are more well known, and are also pretty popular, maybe more so than the Ice Cliimbers. I think that there is still a chance for the Ice Climbers are leaving, especially because of the limits of the character roster and the fact that there are also other veterans that have been through all the games unlike the Ice Climbers, like Ness, Yoshi, Captain Falcon, and Jigglypuff. Sorry if I happen to come across as a massive jerk. I don't think the Ice Climbers would be leaving. While they haven't had a new game in a while, they are kind of a staple of the Smash Bros. series. They are unique characters in the series that manage to easily make an impression on players. So I don't think Nintendo would remove them. Well, they may end up having to due to the limits of the 3DS. If Rosalina doesn't end up being a replacement, think of how much more work and time they have to spend on adding two characters and make them into one. Adding the Ice Climbers could actually hurt the roster limits, and might make it less, since the rosters have to be the same. I still stick to my opinion, like you stick to yours.

It's nice to have debates like this, wouldn't you say so? Yes, but like I said, the 3DS limitations have been proven non-existent by Rosalina's inclusion. And I think the chances of her flat-out replacing the Ice Climbers to be little to none. I mean, Rosalina's more like a marriage between the styles of the Pikmin and Ice Climbers. Luma fights beside her, but he doesn't affect her when KO'd and can be directed to fight while Rosalina hides in safety. Nana complements Popo, doubling his strength and recovery, whilst the Pikmin provide an army for Olimar. Luma is a little of both. He/she both doubles Rosalina's strength, AND provides an army for her.
