Sakurai likes to keep some characters hidden, even classic ones.

Falcon wasn't "officially" revealed for Brawl until after the game's release, IIRC.

Interesting.

This might be the game that I buy a Wii U for.

 

[Boss Doggie]

That was... surprising.

 

[The12thGripper]

I'm still waiting to see who's playable and who's not but my only reaction to Lucina being playable was "FUCK NO".

 

[Beaniedude]

Chrom's not on the official site.
Robin, Lucina, and C.Falcon are.

[18-Volt]

Robin seems to be a Lucas/Ness clone but it has limited use of his book. After that he uses a sword. I like it, maybe I can main him.

 

[sphagnum]

They probably didn't make Chrom a full character because we already have three blue-haired reps from FE.

 

[Sendou]

 

[the androgyne]

Show me your moves!

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Smash website doesn't have Chrom as a character, so I guess he's just the final smash or something.

 

[Man God]

I recognize Captain Falcon, but who are the rest of these jobbers, Zelda characters? People from the latest Shining Force game?

 

[Vampirolol]

What if Robin looks like Shulk and Gematsu was ALWAYS wrong about him?

 

[Askherserenity]

wait, ive beaten FEA... whos robin?

Really? There's both a female and male version of the character. Take a guess

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Chrom does not have a character slot.

 

[YoYo Switch]

so this means no one has any earthly idea who will be in smash

still holding out for snake and travis touchdown

 

[ohlawd]

ITT people out themselves as having never played Awakening

no, more like people who don't care about FE.

Is this real life? Can't tell.

 

[Meohsix]

meh meh meh meh. too many blue haired anime people with swords.

 

[DrStiles]

This was the craziest character reveal ever. I guess we should never underestimate Sakurai

 

[Branduil]

It'd be neat if you could customize Robin's name and appearance like in the actual game.

 

[thisisvlad]

In Sakurai we trust! So glad we're seeing non-pure sword Fire Emblem reps.

 

[Servbot24]

WWWWWWWWWWWWHATTTTT.

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

Yep, I can confirm that they created this in under a day to disprove someone who posted on NeoGAF.

 

[SaberVulcan]

I have, but I never knew that the main characters canon name was robin.

If so, is male robin damian and female robin carrie kelly?

Robin was the gender-neutral name given to the protagonist before you deleted and put in your own. It's something easy to not realize or figure out, similar to how Link is never officially named. Robin also goes by Avatar, or My Unit throughout various medias, so yeah.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Someone PLEASE explain "FT" and "FS" to me. Too many acronyms, too little explaining.

 

[SkyOdin]

wait, ive beaten FEA... whos robin?

That character you customized as your avatar at the beginning of the game. You probably used a different name and appearance, but it is still the same tactician. The Robin that appeared in the trailer is default name and appearance.

 

[Femmeworth]

I am satisfied.

 

[Salvadora]

So many Fire Emblem characters.

Rayman

 

[Morfeo]

Nintendo just keep on bringing the bombs this summer!

 

[Vlade]

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

Life is cruel.



Actually, wait, that's AWESOME.

 

[lupinko]

Female robin is best robin and is the best wife for Chrom, I wonder if we can change hair styles, I liked the long hair and bangs a la Selvaria best.

 

[Majestad]

So good. Lucina will be one of my mains.

 

[Dr. Buni]

wait, ive beaten FEA... whos robin?

The protagonist of the game.

Anyways, I am so maining Lucina and female Robin <3

 

[bronson]

So Chrom's just in Robin's Final Smash then?

 

[NeonZ]

I'm really happy with Robin actually making it in as the actual Awakening newcomer. Lucina seems to be either a Marth clone or skin, like I expected too.

I hope Robin gets Villager-style pallet swaps, with different haircuts, but even just changing her/his hair color would be good enough.

Edit: Only thought about this now, but they ignored C.Falcon's GX design again.

 

[so1337]

Holy crap, Cap' looks bitchin'. New F-Zero, Nintendo! Now!

 

[omegashockwave]

wait, ive beaten FEA... whos robin?

Robin is the canon name for the My Unit/ custom character.

 

[BGBW]

Not interested in any of the anime guys. At least Captain Falcon got shown.

And yet Captain Falcon is the only one who has an anime.

 

[bbd23]

Falcon better still have that pink outfit

 

[L Thammy]

I can't tell. Are those people or dicks?

Maybe that's the point.

 

[zeemumu]

So Chrom is part of Robin's final smash then?

 

[tim_pkmn89]

no, more like people who don't care about FE.

Is this real life? Can't tell.

Except all it takes for a FE fan is to not have played Awakening to be confused.

 

[Lazulic]

meh meh meh meh. too many blue haired anime people with swords.

Would you take a blonde haired anime person with a sword?

 

[Platy]

YES !

FUCK YOU LEAKED LIST !


....but that pnly makes the rayman trophy more "wf happened ?"
Did they hacked sakurai's account ?

Also is Chrom Playable ?

 

[Kacho]

This reveal delivered. So much hype for smash.

 

[Skele7on]

MIA PLEASE HELP ME FIND HIM

 

[Booty Patrol]

Is she Marth clone? LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK.

She has a distinctly different fighting style. She holds her sword in two hands for instance. I am outraged.

 

[Nibel]

Glorious Captain Falcon

MY CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

 

[Fandangox]

Everyone must have massive blue balls right now. Holy crap.

"Maybe I'll get my chance another day..."

NO MOTHERFUCKER, YOU'RE GETTING IT TODAY.

Holy moly.

This and Captain Falcon in fucking HD too, I would have loved Shulk, but Robin was pretty good. FINALLY a magic FE rep.

 

[Effect]

I recognize Captain Falcon, but who are the rest of these jobbers, Zelda characters? People from the latest Shining Force game?

Chrom, Robin, and Lucina are from Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS). Robin is the player character you create. Chrom is the lead character of the game. Same way Marth and Ike were in past Fire Emblem games.

For those wondering Captain Falcon is from F-Zero.

 

[explodet]

Show me your moves!

He may not get a trailer, but they definitely gave Captain Falcon some love. These screens are fantastic.

 

[RedEther]

Nice more fire emblem characters.
