Lucina was a better Lord than Lyn.
Holy shit those pauldrons.Eh both Chrom and Lucina are such boring characters. We all know who really got announced today, but nobody noticed.

Sweet! Love me some FE. Thank God they didn't choose Nowi, for obvious reasons. I wish Robin was the older version, though.

Since I don't have a 3DS and the possibilities of me playing Awakening are slim, I went ahead and spoiled the significance of all these characters for myself. And thanks to Awakening's marriage system, Robin (the game's main character, gender-selectable akin to Shepard), and
time travel shenanigans
Lucina is Chrom's time-travelling daughter from the future, that much is fixed no matter what. However:
- If the player is male, he can marry the time-travelled Lucina (she doesn't go back to the future as far as I know), making Chrom Robin's father-in-law even though they're about the same age.
- Alternatively, if Robin (the player/main character) is female, it's possible for her to actually marry Chrom, making Lucina... also Robin's daugher from the future (!).
Of note, none of this is obligatory at all no matter the character's gender, as there are many other eligible bachelors, each of them with possible descendants.

.Regarding Smash itself, I'm frankly confused about Lucina. I know it's been discussed to death, but my own thoughts: so far she seems like a straight clone of Marth move-wise, which is something that Sakurai tends to shy away from lately. This would point to her being an alt of Marth, if it wasn't for a) her announced status as a newcomer, b) the fact that no alts modify the "name" of the character, at least so far, and c) her Final Smash, which seems to summon Chrom, doesn't make a lot of sense for Marth (unless it's replaced with another character in Marth's case which... seems unlikely). I guess the simplest explanation is that she's a separate character, so I guess it remains to be seen to what extend she's different from Marth in the end.
It's time we appreciate what's truly important:
Look at those boots.
Just look at them.
Just how hot are they?
Possible replies:
1) Wow, those are hot
2) Wow, those are like really, really, really hot
3) I would strut around in those like J. Edgar Hoover on a Tuesday afternoon

Remember when smash was full of relevant characters?
Captain falcon would've been a given no?
Has falco been confirmed?

So robin is the canonical name of the player char in fe awakening? Yeesh...
Also is lucina and robin a single fighter you tag team? Or two separate fighters? Like poke trainer's starters in brawl. Trailer was a bit confusing there I felt.

Fire Emblem Awakening is the best-selling Fire Emblem since forever.
Yep, My Unit/Avatar/Tactician has always been officially named Robin, in North America, at least. It works well because it's a unisex name. Here we have the default name and default appearance (white hair, etc).
And no, Lucina and Robin are separate characters. You choose one, or the other. And when you choose Robin, you can choose to play as the male or female version.
How could FemRobin marry Chrom when she's already married to Tharja?
Don't ruin my dream damn it!

Is that the game Roy and marth are from?
Anyone I've ever played smash with never knew who they were either
Lucina and Robin are separate.
Two separate fighters for sure. They're not doing tag team characters anymore.

I'm enjoying how you're talking about relevancy and then you ask about a StarFox character.
...Maybe that was the joke.
Get this blasphemous shit out of here. Nothing will ever top this:
You wanna know what tops that.
Being playable in smash bros.
Fire Emblem is a long-running series of strategy RPGs. Most of them only came out in Japan, but ever since the early 2000s, there have been English-language installments on GBA, GCN, Wii, DS, and now 3DS. Marth is the original hero from the original Fire Emblem; he most recently appeared in a remake on DS. Roy was a one-shot character who appeared in a GBA title (which wasn't even released at the time Melee came out, and which never came to America). Ike is from Path of Radiance (GCN) and Radiant Dawn (Wii). And Robin and Lucina are both from Fire Emblem Awakening on 3DS, the best-selling installment in the series.

Awakening is the newest one. They were going to kill off the series if it flopped but it sold far better than it has in ages, possibly the best ever. It's where robin and Lucina are from.
Marth's been in a bunch of the games but isn't around any more by the time the newest one happened. I think it's set way after he died? They talk about him like he's ancient history.
ike from brawl was in the wii and gamecube ones.
I think roy's only been in one, and it came out a long time ago. Might've only been in japan.
Falco will be in. They like to slowly show the vets for some reason.

Lyn was important for ten chapters and then took a backseat in her own game.
Lucina traveled through time to punch a dragon in the dick.

So a company is releasing a game featuring characters from all their many franchises and you are upset because they put characters in from a franchise that you personally don't play?

But that kind of smash player would probably know about the Fire Emblem series already if they ever spent any time examining the trophies in trophy mode. But all that reading and learning and shit? F*** no. Final Destination/Fox/Falco/Falcon/Ganondorf/no items bro, pass me a beer.
Yes, with characters such as Lucas, Ness, and Mr. Game and Watch, relevant and important characters to Nintendo's future and ongoing strategy.

Some people will never know true joy.
Yeah but Lyn fought cooler and looked awesome. Lucina is Marth the Third.
I sincerely hope you know I'm playing even if I do like Lyn.

So... does this mean that we will get a male/female Robin Amiibo?!
the amiibo would have been a great way to transfer our personal MCs over.

Thanks for the explanations folks.
I'm not upset. I had just never heard of that game series until now.
