I hope this means Chrom and Captain Falcon are playable. They didn't get the customary still shot.

Nice altought it spoiled Fire Emblem: Awakening for me.

That's my biggest issue when ever this character is brought up. No one gives a damn that they are spoiling part of that game. Granted you can figure part of it out somewhat early on depending on what you know about the game before going into it but still. It's been frustrating to see for a long time now.

 

[Isotope]

CAPTAIN FALCON. \ ;_; /

 

[Chiramii]

Captain falcon, my man!

 

[Kouriozan]

My reaction :
HOLY SHIT.

 

[ohlawd]

Yeah, same here. Who the heck are these players? I'm happy Captain Falcon is back, though. He was my main.

I have no idea, besides Captain Falcon, who these people are.

Who is Chrom, Lucia, and Robin?

err man

if you have a 3DS and haven't played Fire Emblem Awakening

lol is all I can say

 

[HUELEN10]

NOOOO I MISSED THE VIDEO AND NOW IT WON'T REPLAY!

But awesome ROBIN AND LUCINA YEAH

Don't worry, I'll post a link in the OP, plus a ton more screencaps once we have it.

 

[Ricky 7]

Too good.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

LUCINA! YES!

Who is Chrom, Lucia, and Robin?

They're from Fire Emblem: Awakening.

 

[Lkr]

I want more space animals

 

[Poltergust]

I believe it is as so :

Robin - Newcomer
Lucina - Marth Alt
Chrom - AT

But I guess the site will update soon enough.

Chrom is either an AT or part of Robin's moveset (maybe FS?), but yeah, this is how it is.

 

[Regiruler]

I would have preferred shulk over this ten thousand fold

 

[trixx]

I saw 3 Marths. Could have taken one Marth out in place for Ghirahim. Oh well, still a few more left.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Too much fire emblem.

 

[Neiteio]

 

[nintendors]

Yaah so Captain Falcon ...with bunch of anime characters.

 

[L Thammy]

So are Chrom/Lucina alts? That was the impression I got. Or just part of her FS?

Great to see Lucina and Falcon, those were the characters I wanted to see. Rest don't matter!

Lucina's moves didn't look exactly like Marth's to me, more like a variation. Someone else probably knows better.

 

[Kajiba]

Yes yes

 

[Kriken]

Gematsu lied to us! BURN EVERYTHING

Spoiler

Nice to see Robin playable and different from Ike/Marth

 

[Galang]

I love how much this messes with the leak in a sense. I still think the leak is true, but these were definitely curveballs. I was worried there was no more surprises. I didn't expect so much Fire Emblem love, but I'm not complaining one bit. FE definitely deserves the representation.

 

[Briarios]

Lucina! Holy crap! I said that's the one character I was dying for that I didn't think I'd get -- my hype just went way up!

 

[-Horizon-]

THEY'LL MAKE YOU PROUD MORGAN!!

 

[TheSpoiler]

Refreshing the video doesn't work ya dinguses at Nintendo!

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN, NEXT STOP?

CAPTAIN FALCON TOWN.

 

[Bryko]

Too many Fire Emblem characters IMO. Robin has an interesting playstyle, at least.

Best news for me is Captain Falcon.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

Fire Emblem brings the permadeath.

Three characters for Awakening (well, two if Chrom is a clone/alt for Lucina) is beyond my wildest expectations. This series deserved to be proportionately recognized as top-tier Nintendo.

Now, if only the next FE would have a Pegasus Lord to shake things up for Smash 5.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Captain Falcon is my favorite FE Lord.

Spoiler

Hope you can customize Robin to mirror what you went with in FE:A, I went with a brunette

 

[dmr87]

Falcon baby

 

[Manus]

So 5 Fire Emblem fighters and just 1 from Metroid? Okay that makes sense.

 

[LuuKyK]

Well, that went better than expected. Amazing reveals.

Spoiler

Where is Jiggly? t-t

 

[Crocodile]

HALP! My whole world is falling apart! I dunno who/what to believe anymore O_O

 

[so1337]

I'm maining one of these fuckers.

 

[Seven Force]

I don't give a shit about about Fire Emblem characters, but I'm more interested about the possibility of the Gematsu leak being bullshit now.

 

[Frillen]

I've never played an FE game, so this was awkward.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I'm just happy it's not one bland Chrom representing Fire Emblem: Awakening!

Go forth Male Robin!! Brighten the skies~

(and Lucina)

 

[SocksAndShoes]

I haven't been following the updates on Smash at all but how was Captain Falcon not announced until now? I thought he was like one of the bigger fan favs?

 

[TreIII]

Smash gets its own Bible Thumper, Lucina is in and Falcon looked awesome. GG.

 

[Masked Man]

Hooooooollllllllllyyyyyyyy crap that was crazy! Robin looks awesome--definitely picking up FE:A now, haha. I was so worried that we were getting another sword user for FE, so I'm pleasantly surprised by this reveal. (Sorry, Chrom fans!)

 

[chaosblade]

Lucina's moves didn't look exactly like Marth's to me, more like a variation. Someone else probably knows better.

I meant of each other, not of Marth. Chrom/Lucina being similar to Robin/Villager/WFT.

 

[Slowdive]

Yesss.

 

[gngf123]

Fire Emblem represent

 

[Astral/H3X]

Five Fire Emblem characters and none of them are Tharja or Anna.

Sakurai you dun fucked up.

Anna is the only one of those two who would have made any sense at all, and even then she's a completely unknown character except to fans.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Some of you need to go play Fire Emblem: Awakening.

 

[Shojx]

It makes me happy to see characters not from the supposedly leaked list.

These characters would probably mean more to me if I'd played Fire Emblem. They all seem cool enough though.

 

[Hoagmaster]

I made the loudest gasp when Lucy appeared on screen with her title card.

Robin and Cap are the icing on the cake!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Gematsu dead

 

[SkyOdin]

WWWWWWWWWWWWHATTTTT.

Did they just throw this together to disprove SAL though, because it looked kind of un polished.

Unpolished? It was a fancy CG trailer in the exact same style as the Fire Emblem Awakening high-end cutscenes. You don't throw something like that together at the last minute. Nor do you throw characters together at the last minute either. Safe to say that the leaker wasn't all-knowing.

 

[Angry Guy]

EVERYONE I WANTED CONFIRMED IN ONE FELL SWOOP. FUCKING. GODLIKE.

 

[Kouichi]

I think Lucina is a costume for Marth and Chrom is part of Robin's Final Smash

 

[Astorgh]

I saw 3 Marths.

Knowing pretty much nothing about Fire Emblem, that was my reaction.

 

[SaberVulcan]

Captain Falcon is my favorite FE Lord.

Spoiler

Hope you can customize Robin to mirror what you went with in FE:A, I went with a brunette

My guess is 6 or 7 costumes. 3 male, 3 female of assorted variations, and possibly one who is cloaked.

I think Lucina is a costume for Marth and Chrom is part of Robin's Final Smash

They would not have revealed Lucina in that fashion if she was a costume. She will be a clone, similar to Marth/Roy, Fox/Falco, Mario/Luigi, etc. My guess is she will be closer to Melee marth in that she wont have Shieldbreaker.
