Or her intro.

In either case it seems unlikely you can actually play as the mask Lucina. Too bad.

 

[PensivePen]

Clones...

Yeah basically. But you said alt, which would be a different thing.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I still can't believe we have four Fire Emblem characters, and three are swordsmen but no one is a bloody laguz.

What are you doing, Sakurai?

So many people haven't played Awakening; nobody played the Tellius saga.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

As I said in the other thread Lucina potentially being an alt better not screw us out of an Amiibo.

 

[Firemind]

and?

In the end, someone (or many) people out there are happy that Lucina got in. What about them? But no because you didnt get King K Rool or some shit, it is a waste.

I mean I could lose my shit because Toadsworth doesn't make it and blame it on Greninja. I would look like a tool if I did that.

It doesn't work that way. We don't always get what we want. and any character added is good as long as someone wanted it. That how I look at it atleast. Someone out there is getting exactly what they wanted and that is what this game is about


( fun fact: I had to use Toadsworth as an example because I pretty much got every character I wanted w/ Sonic and Megaman making it in lol....so maybe that's why I'm not raging lol)

Those same people who want Lucina in wanted Marth out. :lol

Tbf this has been a pissing contest from all directions.

 

[McNum]

It looks like the Wind series of spells could be Robin's Up+B as he gains a lot of height while casting them in the air. Also, looks like they might be a spike. That's just mean, a recovery move that spikes.

 

[Riki]

...and?

The character choices of this game will not please everyone. Do not rationalize that "there must be a way to get that through alternative means".

Outside of adding literally every character from every series ever made in ever form of media, there is nothing Sakurai can do to " please everyone".
Hell, even then people would bitch.

 

[Jagsrock]

Hd falcon pauuuuunch looks glorious.

 

[Hypemaster]

Yeah, but she's got a separate character profile on the website.

Also, LOL that Chrom trolling

Ah okay, well hopefully her other movesets are more diverse.

And yeah, loved the Chrom gets trolled lol

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

I never thought that they'd put Robin in the game, not since he/she is so customizable, lacking a single "canon" look...that is, until now. Neither my male nor female avatars have looked anything like that.

I hope you can at least change his/her hair color.

 

[Boney]

Where's my boy Roy though

 

[Fey]

but where was shulk 😭

right where he belongs

 

[Razia]

Oh come on, you know what I mean. I'm not talking about how useful he is or how much Animal Crossing sells. I'm not hating on Villager. No need to get defensive. He's a humorous character to put in a fighting game. He and Wii Fit Trainer are obviously meant to be funny additions to the roster.

Having a humorous fighting style does not automatically make Villager a joke character. A joke character in a fighting game is a character that is intetionally weak and ineffective.

Too many matchups to learn. Please keep it reasonable. :V

 

[KojiKnight]

Am I the only one who though Robin 1 and Robin 4 from DC comics were added? :x

Yes, and you should feel bad.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I totally expect Chrom alt for Lucina soon enough. >_>

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I'm actively keeping K.Rool out through prayer alone. You can probably blame me for him not being in the game.

 

[PBalfredo]

Where's my boy Roy though

Reincarnated as Lucina, most likely.

 

[Razia]

In either case it seems unlikely you can actually play as the mask Lucina. Too bad.

Not really. You can play as Little Mac in his pink sweatsuit.

 

[batfax]

In either case it seems unlikely you can actually play as the mask Lucina. Too bad.

Doesn't Pink Sweatsuit Mac lend to the possibility of it being an option?

edit: 2slow

 

[Toxi]

Yeah basically. But you said alt, which would be a different thing.

Yeah, but I'm surprised Sakurai's adding new clones.

Robin makes up for any dissatisfaction on that front though. Looks incredibly interesting and fun.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Play as a customisable mii. Not villager etc (though there maybe some extensive alts who knows).

Huh must've missed the mii announcement. Sweet.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I imagine the hair color will change with the costume color choices.

Mine had long black hair, so I definitely won't get an option for that.

 

[robotzombie]

I don't think that it's unlikely at all

 

[Seik]

I'm actively keeping K.Rool out through prayer alone. You can probably blame me for him not being in the game.

As long as you pray for him to be in the next DK, I'm fine.

#fuckheaviesinsmash

 

[kunonabi]

Mother Brain would be good too if they could find a way.

Those are really the Metroid big three: Ridley is the most common boss in the series, Dark Samus and Mother Brain are iconic main villains. Everyone else is either a minor character or Adam Malkovich, and nobody wants Adam Malkovich.

Dark Samus and Mother Brain are confirmed for assist trophies, and Ridley looks like he'll be a boss, so we probably won't have any new Metroid characters unless Sakurai really expects me to buy a game with Adam Malkovich in it.

Yeah, but she's got a separate character profile on the website.

Also, LOL that Chrom trolling

Clones...

I'd want Adam. It would be nice to have a gun based character after having all these sword users.

 

[Principate]

Huh must've missed the mii announcement. Sweet.

Did you miss the Iwata vs Reggie fight bit that's what that whole section was about :lol

 

[ShockingAlberto]

As long as you pray for him to be in the next DK, I'm fine.

#fuckheaviesinsmash

It's because of all the whining about him not being in new DKC games that I went from total ambivalence to active dislike.

Hope they kick his terrible Rare character design ass out of the sports games, too.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

You are the anti-Christ.

 

[Jaeger]

In either case it seems unlikely you can actually play as the mask Lucina. Too bad.

Well, since this is just a mask we are talking about, I'm more than sure that will be a costume. If Pikachu can wear hats and headbands and shit, why wouldn't Lucina have a mask too?

 

[spootime]

Why is it so hard to put Golden Sun characters into Smash? Its such a perfect fit. Step it up nintendo

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I've missed most videoa. I'm eagerly awaiting getting to my house to watch them.

actually my robin at least the male version looked like that but with blue hair hahahahahahahah so seeing this robin made me go holy crap

 

[Shaanyboi]

Not sure how Chrom fits in... whether he is a whole other character, a skin, an assist trophy...

Male/female Robin is surprising

Yay for Captain Falcon

I would've expected Lucina to be a Marth skin. Same move set etc.

Spoiler

STILL WAITING ON WONDER RED

 

[Riki]

You'll get your Dr Who vs Atticus Fich and you'll like it!

 

[fredrancour]

That's why we should get an advance wars rep sami or lin would make the most sense with guns. Lin especially, considering

Spoiler

she's the only commander to shoot another dead on-screen.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Seems to just come in for Robin's final smash. His/her FS looks like it's a team-up attack.

 

[bon]

i formally apologize for not following the exact fighting game community definition of joke character. carry on.

 

[Man God]

I'm actively keeping K.Rool out through prayer alone. You can probably blame me for him not being in the game.

I'll die for this fight, keep googly eyes out of Smash.

A Rayman trophy is bad enough.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

You should be more well-versed considering you placed second in the USF4 tournament last night.

Good man.

 

[James Scott]

Lucina is awesome, glad to see her there. Shame about Chrom getting the axe, which is weird since sword wielders are strong against axes

Spoiler

sorry

Captain Falco looks great, and Sakurai is such a jerk with that trolling.
Really don't like Robin's inclusion. Doesnt' feel like a character I would care about. The move set is cool, but who played as the default Look/name Robin? I didn't even know the default name WAS Robin.
The slot could've been given to other characters with a similar moveset. I would've prefered someone like Isaac myself.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But Isaac was in Brawl

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Eh, the only one that picked my interest somewhat is Cap Falcon...

I'd buy a Wii U (hideous gamepad and all) if they'd only announce Wart as a playable character..

It looks like Chrom's just part of Robin's final smash, a reference to the double teaming in FE:A.

And isn't Wonder Red just a trophy

 

[Myn]

Chrom has such a detailed in-game model for being just a final smash.

One could argue the same thing about Villager. I imagine like Villager there will likely be alternate colors/costumes with different hair colors and clothing. Also I think it's a suitable character since it better represents the variety of Fire Emblem and he is the main character.

megaman status confirmed

 

[Boss Doggie]

Same can be said for the Megaman final smash too
