We already know that Marth, Ike, Robin and Lucina will be playable in SSB4. To my mind there's at least one character too much already. Lucina looks more like a copy of Marth. And there are too many swordusers: Link, Marth, Ike, Lucina, Robin and Toon-Link. She seems to be more like a filler. I just don't like it, if "clones" will be added only to inflate the character roster. "Fire Emblem" will represent the same number of characters like the "Mario" and "Zelda" series did in SSBB and even more than the "Kirby" and "Starfox" series. Is "Fire Emblem" really that important now that this franchise should have 4 character spots in SSB4?

In my experiences, Brady, (whom I recruited three days ago) is my new almost favorite child, pushing poor severa down to third (this doesn't include superpeppykawaii female morgan). Noire takes first by a few miles because, well, her personality, it's just like that one sincere old lady from birdemic, "*insert blow kissing noise here*", so real, and yet I find that to be what sets her a tier above the rest for me. What are anyone else's thoughts? I almost wonder if anyone will even read this...

Hello everyone! This is my first topic posted but I wanted to discuss an idea I had for the upcoming smash 4. As we all know Marth has finally been confirmed and now the issue remains as to who will be the second rep. Other questions also come into play such as can fire emblem get three characters, or will Marth get a Lucina skin. These questions are difficult to answer at the moment although there is strong evidence for Chrom. Now the real issue I wanted to discuss here was that of character representation and how the fire emblem series has fallen under the flavor of the month category. If you are not familiar with the term it means the game uses the newest character and replaces one who isn't relevant anymore. This can be seen in the case of Ike replacing Roy. Now Fire Emblem isn't the only series stuck in this category, it happens with pokemon to some extent, with Mewtwo being swapped out for Lucario and possibly pichu for trainer. However, other pokemon can get some representation through the pokeball item. For example, players can pick up a randomly dropped pokeball and call out someone to assist them, like Chikorita using razor leaf on the other characters. This can give the pokemon series a very good representation as many pokemon appear and it is not through the use of assist trophies. Here comes the idea: what if the same principal were applied to FE characters. You can call out a certain character to help do your bidding on the battle field. Instead of a pokeball, we would use an Einherjar card to summon characters, much like what happens in awakening's dlc. An example I'll use is Hector. Unfortunately he will probably not be playable, but let's say he made an appearance through this system. Your character can grab a card item and summon him in a way similar to calling out a pokemon. He would come onto the stage and smash everyones face in with his axe. With this system many characters from all the different fire emblems could appear. Different classes who are not blue haired lords could get some great representation too. Lissa could be summoned to heal the player who called her out, a strong mage could attack with a powerful spell, a weaker mage could attack with a simple tome like fire, thunder or wind. The possibilities are endless. Another important point to bring up is how this would separate the FE characters from the assist trophies. Lyn would now be moved to a card but would more or less do the same thing. Now you could make the argument that each series could get this kind of special item. That would be interesting too, but the franchises that fall into flavor of the month benefit from this the most. If you have any thoughts on to why this would or wouldn't work feel free to state them. If you have any ideas of which characters should be represented in the Einherjar cards or which attacks they would use please comment that too. Anyway, it's just an idea I was tossing around.

Everyone says that Chrom!Brady is awful due to overlap, but I hardly find that to be an issue. after all, the only problem with class overlap is lack of skills. This is only bad if you're given a bad skillset, and you will not. On my next Lunatic Playthrough, I will prove to the world that this Brady is still broken. Maribelle! Lucina Sage (Brady too) 80 39 59 56 54 60 38 52 (limit broken) Lucina Skills:Galeforce, LimitBreaker, Aether, Rightful King, (Dualstrike prob...) Brady Skills:Galeforce,LimitBreaker,Rightful King, Dualguard, Luna Notes: 1.I find it necessary for each person to have a minimum and a maximum of one offensive proc, Brady uses Luna well, as does everyone in this game. 2.Rightful king Dualguard doubles its effectiveness to a sick degree, and in an A support with lucina, you would Dualstrike 100% of the time, and guard 30-50?% percent of the time (prob 40 % to take no damage.) 3.If I am not logically refuted, I will have either Marry Mu to Brady or Lucina. (Both Aether and Rk sound nice for Morgan) If Brady:Galeforce, Lb, RK, (Ignis/Luna/Astra/Sol), uh... Filler? Tomefaire? If Lucina:Galeforce, LB, Aether,(Vantage,Wrath.. Something passive/offensive) uhh... Tomefaire? In addition to kickass Morgan skills, your stats on a Magic/defense morgan will be 80 39 61 51 54 59 45 57 (Limit Broken) Anything with a question mark needs clarification, or if you can prove me wrong, IF CHROM!BRADY IS TRULY THE WORST, then please prove it. Morgan's stats are from sorc, and I also forgot Armsthrift, for I am not against Nosferatanking at all. MODEDIT: yo don't doublepost

If marth is Lucina's disguise, why was she wearing the exact same outfit in the future during Grima's attack? ... You know, when she wasn't disguised? Clearly, Lucina just has a cosplay habit she's shy about.

'Nuff said, Eiji Aonuma tweeted it out and I'm excited. Hoping to see Chrom replace Ike (sorry Ike Fanboy/girls) and have masked Lucina replace Marth, but with the same old moveset. On the subject of aesthetic changes, maybe there could be a more vivid set of alternate costumes as opposed to just alternate colors (wario's alt costume but on a much higher level), maybe give masked Lucina an unmasked alt costume, maybe? It's all hopes, what does anyone else want to see? Nintendo direct starts June 11th at either ten or eleven am.

Do you remember how Zelda could transform into Sheik in Smash Bros. Melee? I hadn't played ocarina of time yet, so thanks for the spoiler Nintendo! Do you think there could be a way of keeping people from being spoiled, unless they really wanted to? Perhaps a spoiler setting, or maybe a questionaire about games and the spoilers involved. Perhaps, as an example, they could use Lucina in the spoilerriffic versions, but replace her with masked Marth in the spoiler-free ones. It could run as a client-side service, I don't know, I know it'll keep people who haven't played awakening yet from being angry about how marth isn't really who she says she is, though.

GUYS IT WAS LUCINAS ONE YEAR SF ANNIVERSARY TWO MONTHS AND A DAY AGO LETS CELEBRATE
