Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

Besides, with Anna being a merchant, Sakurai could give her moves based around numerous FE items and weapons. And being a Trickster in Awakening can give her a speedy melee moveset.

It'll never happen though :(

Wee.

Adorable.
 
All Awakening reps will probably be assist trophies, and we'll get Roy and Ike as playable.

Despite being a joke, I'd be okay with that.

I still wish that if they'd use any character to go this route they'd use Leif. On top of being able to use any weapon type as a Master Knight, he also has unique game mechanics that only existed in Thracia 776 to make him further unique from other FE main characters as a fighter.

If we're still just barking up the "Female rep" tree then... has anyone mentioned Celica? She's a main character-tier magic user that's not Micaiah, so she's got that goin' for 'er.

Cleanse the green locked swine from the earth, my children!

In all seriousness, who would you want as a FE rep?
I don't actually care much for FE itself (but do enjoy the characters for Smash) as it isn't my cup of tea but... I just want diversity for the franchise. I'm tried of swords and characters looking a bit too similar (not saying any of the veterans should be removed, I'm against the idea of removing/replacing anyone).

I just think it deserves a better variety, as long as they don't pick one of the pandering characters (such as Tharja and Nowi... eugh especially Nowi.). Lucina just isn't very interesting for Smash Bros to me and feels like a Marth 1.5 or something. The franchise should have someone else interesting... maybe Anna? I'm not completely sure about Anna because I don't know her character or the series well enough, but from what I'm hearing she doesn't sound like a bad choice.
 
As of Awakening, Anna also kills people, in addition to her role as shopkeep / suspend game / multiplayer stuff. So that point is moot.
Anna is sort of like the FE series mascot - she has appeared in more games than even the frontline hero Marth. After Marth, the character who most embodies "Fire Emblem" is definitely Anna.
Lucina is barely any more relevant than any other random Awakening Child Character X. Story-wise, she gets like one or two chapters of relevance. She's not really crucial to the main story arc - rather, she's there to introduce the rather unimportant side-story of time travel kids. Any other kid, like Morgan or Inigo, could have done the role just as well. Lucina's only real point is being featured in the marketing, but she was "Marth" there - that's not relevance of her, but of Marth.

This really threw me when I played FE. I thought the entire story would revolve around 'Marth', but he was completely irrelevant, really. It was Chrom and Tactician's story from start to bitter end.
 
Based on the little I know of Awakening, Tharja would be my choice because she's a dark mage and the fanbase seems to love her.

Edit: Actually the Chrom & Lucina team idea would be best because it not only differentiates them from Marth and Ike, but it also makes them unique by adding in an essential mechanic from their game.

I'd be happy with either.

There's that as well. Honestly, I feel that the Avatar/Robin wouldn't be a bad choice either. It'll give us a magic user as well, and it won't be a blue haired lord.
 
Lyn or Anna would be the best Fire Emblem newcomers. Lyn because, well, she's awesome and was the first female Lord and the protagonist of the first Fire Emblem released outside Japan. Anna because she's been in every Fire Emblem, which is something no other character can say. No one represents the whole series better than Anna.
 
Anna is a great pick because she's exactly Smash-Bros-weird enough to work.

I dunno, I'm just gonna be over here still upset that they didn't put Awakening-Marth in.

They don't love her. They love her body in a swimsuit.

You're getting the cause and effect mixed up, I think!
 
On the official Smash website 8 empty slots have opened up on the character selection section. In total there are 27 now with 19 known. Remember 6 months ago Sakurai said the limit for creating characters for Smash Bros is about 20? So then half the idiot planet assumed Smash would only have 20 characters period? Hahaha.

These 8 slots will probably be filled by May with at least one more newcomer before June. Come on Ridley!
 
Naw, im talkin about that picture where you have everyone's render in the picture together, and you have DK and bowser in the back on each side and stuff.

This one? (Both images aren't mine but I found it long time ago.) I know someone made their own here for wallpapers and I would like to see the wallpaper to be updated.

It should have never existed in first place.
Its parasitic life is only taking away resources from the superior and definitive version.

Hope it bombs hard so they realize it was a mistake since they day it was announced >:D

Shame the Wii U game will probably bomb harder.

Any sense of respect in you have diminished.
 
Cheers.

If we're to assume the Smash 4 roster is going to include 40 characters, let's try and figure out who gets cut!

Diddy Kong
Yoshi
Wario
Zelda/Sheik
Ganondorf
Ice Climbers
R.O.B

Metaknight
King Dedede
Falco
Wolf
Captain Falcon
Pokemon Trainer (Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard)
Lucario
Ike

Ness
Lucas
Mr. Game and Watch
Snake

19 + 10 = 29

Basically, I'm expecting 11 more newcomers/melee returners.
 
So a bit off topic, but I think playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl just broke my Wii and my warranty is out. What do GAF?

Details: Been playing a lot of 1 against 3 team matches with the rest of the characters set on random and Level 9 to start training for a Brawl tourney at my uni, but I guess it overclocked my Wii or something and right before another match it gave me an error reading and forced me to eject the disc and restart my Wii. Once I restarted it, the disc reader sounded a bit funky. Almost really clicky.

Now whatever game I put in there, it won't read it, except for Brawl which it gets from the title screen on the Wii menu, but then gets an error reading once it starts the actual game.

Please tell me this is salvageable and cheap to fix. I have a Wii Disc Lens Cleaner but I lent it to another friend so I can't immediately fix it.

Sounds like a dead or dirty drive. Try cleaning it when you can, if that doesn't work you'll have to replace the drive (or buy a new one since that's probably not worth it).

You could always jailbreak it and install a USB loader, but without a drive you'd have to jump through some hoops to add your game images to it.
