SWORD HAND

 

[Anth0ny]

god FE:A's redesign for the past characters are so lame

I thought Roy's was alright:

but that Marth looks like garbage. Smash 4 Marth design is best Marth design.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Oh I thought he was referring to

Spoiler

lucina

Nope. Just the terrible redesign. C'mon this Marth is beautiful.

 

[foxuzamaki]

god FE:A's redesign for the past characters are so lame

dont look at roy's redesign and say that, most of them have different artist intepretations, for some reason the artist wanted marth to really look like lucina which even if marth is really bishie, he is still manly enough to not wear that.

 

[Spinluck]

Best part about this was that absolutely no one saw it coming/Sakurai wins

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

where in god's name is FINISH HIM, me and him have been hoping and praying sakurai uses this design and here it is

Who is this FINISH HIM person?

 

[PaulExcellent]

I thought Roy's was alright:

I really like this one!

SWORD HAND

Get out.

 

[foxuzamaki]

*sigh* I should go to bed so I cant expel all my hype, so goodnight everybody ;_;

[voltronbadA]

What's this? What's this? A megaton today?
What's this? Marth's back to join the fray!
What's this? This game is looking better everyday?
WHAT IS THIS?!

Ephraim's design was my favorite of all the redesigns:

 

[RagnarokX]

LOL

"Sorry, babe, I've got a mirror at home."

 

[Pappasman]

Ephraim's design was my favorite of all the redesigns:

wow, thats fucking sweet.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Marth looks somewhat less feminine in this one. Definitely an improvement.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I like Erika's...

 

[foxuzamaki]

Who is this FINISH HIM person?

I actually struggled to remember if it was I'M FINISHED or FINISH HIM D: but there you are! was afraid you got banned, but sakurai finally did it!

 

[SuperSah]

Only one 3DS screenshot leaves me disappointed. ):

Oh well!

 

[foxuzamaki]

ayoooo

What is with all this "bishie" nonsense?

the word stuck with me ever since I learned what it was years ago.

 

[afoni]

Only one 3DS screenshot leaves me disappointed. ):

Oh well!

i'm not even sure why you would want this game handheld

For the streetpass potential?

the word stuck with me ever since I learned what it was years ago.

oh ok. I googled it so let's see.

Bishōnen (美少年?, also transliterated About this sound bishounen (help·info)) is a Japanese term literally meaning "beautiful youth (boy)".

The term describes an aesthetic that can be found in disparate areas in East Asia: a young man whose beauty (and sexual appeal) transcends the boundary of gender or sexual orientation. It has always shown the strongest manifestation in Japanese pop culture, gaining in popularity due to the androgynous glam rock bands of the 1970s,[1] but it has roots in ancient Japanese literature, the homosocial and homoerotic ideals of the medieval Chinese imperial court and intellectuals, and Indian aesthetic concepts carried over from Hinduism, imported with Buddhism to China.[2]

Today, bishōnen are very popular among girls and women in Japan.[2][3] Reasons for this social phenomenon may include the unique male and female social relationships found within the genre. Some have theorized that bishōnen provide a non-traditional outlet for gender relations. Moreover, it breaks down stereotypes surrounding feminine male characters. These are often depicted with very strong martial arts abilities, sports talent, high intelligence, or comedic flair, traits that are usually assigned to the hero/protagonist.[4]

OBJECTIFYING MARTH! HOW DARE YOU!

 

[Papercuts]

I still can't get over how bad Ike looks in that art. Arg.

I loved him in Brawl though, I'll be sad if he's cut.

 

[Anth0ny]

Only one 3DS screenshot leaves me disappointed. ):

Oh well!

It's probably still a long ways away.

Or at least they're trying to give that impression, cause it would be in their best interest to release 3DS Smash waaaaaaaaaaaaaay after Wii U Smash. Spring 2015, probably.

 

[georgetheplushie]

That Nair.

Funny that I instantly could tell what move it was, but if you showed me the same pose from Brawl, I wouldn't have been able to.

Edit: Took a better comparison shot.

 

[AdventureRacing]

I don't mind marth but i'm sticking to the lyn and hector bandwagon. Don't just give us another male sword wielding character, something different would be cool.

 

[SuperSah]

Saves me buying a flop of a console for 2-3 games.

 

[PsychBat!]

i'm not even sure why you would want this game handheld

I'm gonna get the game on both platforms.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

I actually struggled to remember if it was I'M FINISHED or FINISH HIM D: but there you are! was afraid you got banned, but sakurai finally did it!

I am a survivor.

The design looks lovely. I am happy that our preferences were realized.

Oh snap. Nintendo VS Nintendo console wars begin.

 

[SuperSah]

Ice cold.

Oh snap. Nintendo VS Nintendo console wars begin.

There's only three games I care about (SM3D, MK8, SSB4) and that's nowhere near justifying the price of a Wii U until another EU pricedrop and more games.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Oh snap. Nintendo VS Nintendo console wars begin.

Attack of the hungry Nintendo cannibals!

Enjoy your gimped control scheme, I guess.

 

[Dr.Thunder]

Wow, really surprised with how much of an improvement this Marth is. Before I saw this I didn't care if he returned. Sakurai you sunnuva, you got me.

 

[PsychBat!]

And now the Marth avatar is mine.

YES!

 

[ffdgh]

Almost forgot, was the miiverse comment posted?

"Pic of the day. Marth joins the battle!! Once again, everyone will be overwhelmed by his magnificent sword skills!!"

Marth to be top tier again confirmed.

 

[RagnarokX]

You guys are missing the real megaton...

WEDGE ISLAND!

 

[FlynnCL]

Enjoy your gimped control scheme, I guess.

My least favourite aspect of getting the 3DS version. Definitely getting it regardless, though. The Wii U version is my priority now because of controls.

 

[foxuzamaki]

oh ok. I googled it so let's see.

It's objectifying in a good way!

that is a good way to remember it.

 

[ChaosAngel]

I'm really liking that first shot, it's quite amazing how different they look.

Way of The Tipper

 

[princemarth23]

Today is a very good day.

 

[PsychBat!]

Thanks a lot, Sakurai. I'm not sure I can sleep now.

 

[Spinluck]

damn, nice comeback

 

[foxuzamaki]

Thanks a lot, Sakurai. I'm not sure I can sleep now.

I know that feel

 

[ChaosAngel]

Thanks a lot, Sakurai. I'm not sure I can sleep now.

I'm feeling the same way, I feel like 2014 can't come soon enough now.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

tee hee

The Marth announcement thread can be the burial ground for the replace Marth with Lucina cycle. It's over!

 

[Kouichi]

Damn, Marth looks nice!
