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

Well, Marth had an OVA if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Pegosaurus]

Wow, this is super cool.

Robin looks AWESOME. I can't wait to play.

 

[Superturkeys]

Is this the new knee of justice animation?

 

[decoyplatypus]

Yay FE love. I'm not a huge Awakening fan, but given its sales it was obviously going to get some representatives in Smash. I'm happy to have Lucina as a Marth-alt. Robin should be a nice addition (and I'm glad they included both male and female).

It's sort of funny that all the FE representatives in Smash are sword-users. Even Robin has a sword when he/she runs out of magic. Maybe if Hector or Sigurd had come along a bit later...

 

[vareon]

Yep, watching the trailer again, Robin is glowing and Chrom is attacking a target together with Robin. Robin's Final Smash is "Pair Up" and calls in Chrom. Amazing!

Ha, that's clever. That's how I beat Awakening, too.

 

[PhaZZe]

what?

check the small square for Lucina in main page, everybody new like Pacman or Palutena says newcomer.

Maybe its because she is a clone

 

[ieptbarakat]

My body is ready!

 

[ohlawd]

Laura Bailey party

but Palutena's VA is Ali Hillis?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

That is a fuckton of Fire Emblem characters.

 

[GeekyDad]

Very cool.

 

[Crayolan]

So Lucina is probably a Marth clone, considering she's not listed as a newcomer n the smash site. She does get her own character slot, however, so she's not just an alt. I guess she's getting her own slot on the roster, kind of like Roy.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Well I guess I got a FE mage now. A bit saddened this pretty much cements any hope for a FE villain.

 

[Protag]

Is this releasing summer or october on 3ds?

 

[Tyrant Rave]

wtf was my rayman samurai

rayman samurai sounds like a cool character

 

[Myn]

Wait, what's going on here. This doesn't look like his Final Smash. Is it just his intro or is it possibly a new move?

His character intro when the match starts...

 

[m0t0k1]

At first i was like robin? who is that? and then i saw the pictures. and went like ahh the character you could give a name in FE. Loved to see a more magic oriented FE character so happy he/she is in. But kinda sad we got no Olivia but ill take lucina as second place.

 

[oti]

Oh my god. I'm done. I'm fucking done.
That's it. I'm buying a Wii U this week so I can play Lucina (and Robin) on the big screen.

DO IT!

 

[Tommy DJ]

WHAAAAATTTTT

 

[Mariolee]

Is this the new knee of justice animation?

Nah. Capt Falcon was just getting his dick ready to be shulked as well.

 

[Akiller]

Next-gen Falcon Punch!

 

[Azuran]

And welcome back, Captain Falcon!! When are you ever getting a new game of your own?

Why would you do this Sakurai? My poor heart can't take it :"(

 

[Jaeger]

Wii U's will be flying off the shelves during the Holidays.

 

[MrJustinius]

Is this releasing summer or october on 3ds?

October 3DS, Summer Wii U

 

[Mistle]

looks like I'm buying two ambiios

 

[dmr87]

 

[Sendou]

check the small square for Lucina in main page, everybody new like Pacman or Palutena says newcomer.

Maybe its because she is a clone

Or just because there's only one artwork for today's Fire Emblem announcements and that artwork is what dictates whether the icon on the character page is wide or not. If you get what I mean.

October 3DS, Summer Wii U

*Winter 2014 Wii U

 

[L Thammy]

wtf was my rayman samurai

Honestly, I was kind of dreading that we'd get a Rabbid or some crap.

 

[Japanmanx3]

3 Characters!!!! Not even a shulk in sight? Gematsu plz. Man!

 

[Mysterious]

So it does say Lucina is a newcomer on her page itself; her icon just isn't a long one. I guess it's just a web design decision, because if Lucina that got the longer icon as well, the website wouldn't be a "perfect" grid system or whatever when all is said and done.

 

[RMS Gigantic]

Punch me if old, Sakurai on Miiverse:

:lol

Will do!

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

but Palutena's VA is Ali Hillis?

Not for smash.

[SonicTHP]

Really wouldn't mind Lucina being a Marth-alt. Look closely at her moves in the trailer, they're really similar to Marth's. Frankly, I would be disappointed if she was just a character clone >_>

On the other hand:

Spoiler

YES

I'm almost sure Lucina is a clone/palette swap. Every move shown being Marth's already was the first hint. If she had unique moves, they would have shown it.

Second, they've been moving away from Melee style clone characters in Brawl and probably will continue with Wii U/3DS. This is why Roy/Pichu/Dr. Mario won't return, Falco and Ganondorf received changes to further differentiate themselves, etc.

I think this reveal was only for 1 new character, one returning character, and 2 palette/voice swaps (Robin M/F and Marth/Lucina).

 

[Mephala]

I hope Lucina and Chrom are different enough from Marth and the other swordsmen to distinguish themselves. Robin looks fun to play.

Also I swear my hype levels sky rocketed when I heard Robin's war cry more than actually seeing it on the screen. So well done.

 

[NotLiquid]

A horrible thought just occurred to me.

If Sal's roster count/likeness of characters was right, what if he confused Robin with Shulk?

 

[Marow]

This was pretty great. Glad to see that Captain Falcon is still in.

Also happy that Lucina is playable, but the moves we saw got me a bit worried about her being a clone. I thought she could possibly be a skin, but this was more than I could've hoped for.

Still, I think Anna would've been a cooler addition. She's a Fire Emblem staple and was first playable in Awakening.

 

[Jaeger]

October 3DS, Summer Wii U

No, Wii U is Winter 2014.

 

[-Horizon-]

Darn straight she should be trending!

[Gleethor]

What stage is this?

Edit: wait, I think I see pokeballs. Elite Four Room, then.

 

[HUELEN10]

Who's Sal and do they look similar enough?

 

[ohlawd]

oh shit.

my bad lol. thanks for correcting.

 

[Purple_Tentacle]

NOW WHERE'S DONNEL?!?

 

[ReiGun]

None of the other alts have pages at all, so don't know why you'd think that.

The other alts are just different versions of the same character, though.

She could also be a clone. Doesn't make much difference to me either way.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

What stage is this?

Kalos Elite Four?

 

[Rootbeer]

Damn, the roster on this game is just off the hook crazy awesome!

But please... add Shulk!

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Well I guess I got a FE mage now. A bit saddened this pretty much cements any hope for a FE villain.

Spoiler

Evil Robin counts?

 

[lazybones18]

In WVGCW terms: FUCK YOU CINA. CINA SUCKS

...now that I got that out of my system, interesting choices

 

[Jaeger]

I'm almost sure Lucina is a clone/palette swap. Every move shown being Marth's already was the first hint. If she had unique moves, they would have shown it.

Lucina is a clone, like Roy was for Marth. Her own slot and all on the select screen. Not a palette swap.

 

[zroid]

hi res

 

[twothunder]

We'll have to see if Lucina is a seperate clone character with slight differences or just a skin of Marth that plays exactly the same.

Too be honest. I'm not reallly a fan of characters like Robin and Villager.
Still. The Fire Emblem love is nice.
