Here's something from a little side hobby: Phila added as a playable character
*** FE7 Spoilers I guess? ***
How the hell I'm supposed to kill Kishuna to access 19xx in Hector Mode?
I mean, if I kill him I lose the magic barrier so Aion should almost dead when I do that, but I read somewhere that Kishuna escapes as soon as Aion is killed. Both guys are super annoying to hit so... Any tips?

I could be remembering wrong, but I didn't think killing Aion made Kishuna leave. For killing Kishuna I pray for Mani Katti and killing edge crits. (I admit, my Lyn from Lyn mode on these runs and always a bit overlevelled....)

I don't think he leaves if Aion dies.
In this video for example. He doesn't leave after Aion is gone.

As for beating him. Use powerful accurate weapons. Anything that has higher crit helps too.
Naturally. Get rid of his helpers asap.

Kinda want that booster box now, which isn't a good thing.
Japanese translations per Kuroneko's catalog of pictures:
The first four images list off some of the "many famous/popular illustrators that will be contributing their art" to the game.
The cards are "Original design/concepts" for the characters. The one on the left is "Pegasus Knight class Minerva", and the right is "Hero class Leaf"
It's interesting to see the whole piece of art before the card overlay.
"Rules of Play:
-Decks are made up of 50 of your favorite cards
-You can decide on only on 'Protagonist' or 'Main character' for your deck. (It's unclear if this has to be a Lord class character based on this picture alone)
-Each player takes turns placing characters on the battlefield and attacking the other player.
-You win by defeating the other player's Main Character.
"Rules of Play - Playmat details:
(Going from left to right starting from the top, the names of the areas on the play mat are as follows)
'Orb Area'
'The Battlefield', which consists of the upper 'Front Lines/Vanguard' and lower 'Rear-guard'
Below the Battlefield is the 'Support Bonds Area' (where you'll work on the support levels of characters)
The column to the right of the battlefield is as follows:
'Support Soldier Area' (I'm guessing where you will place current teamed up soldiers)
'Deck placement'
'Retreated Soldiers Area' (I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be the discard pile, it uses 退避 which means to evacuate from battle)
That's all I can get to before I get ready for work, apologies for some rough translation, but I was curious about the game mechanics myself and thought to post what little I gleaned here.
Well, Athena has a card, so I think it'd be more accurate to say one side is of Shadow Dragon characters. One name they use as an umbrella for those characters is War of Darkness, which is of course the main conflict of Marth's first story. But yeah, you're right that the first batch will be from those two games.
Series 2 will be dedicated to Fire Emblem if characters (including the TCG original characters, I think) and Series 3 will have characters from Path of Radiance. That's all we know for now.

huh, that's Wrys?
Is there some secret Wrys that I don't know about, lol

That's an alternate class version, just like Pegasus Knight Minerva besides him. It does seem like the card's art shows him as a Risen or something though.
Pretty sure he's just a Dark Knight, both because he has that collar, and it's a regular horse. (Him being a Dark Flier would be cool, but we've already seen what can fairly be assumed his map sprite a few times now.)
Though, if the art is accurate, dark knights can use dark magic now, hopefully.
Huh. I just figured Minerva was a peg knight because in FE1, pegs promoted to Wyvern riders, and they wanted an unpromoted version...

You'll need a nico account though.
Would be nice if someone could make a youtube video of it. Preferably a subbed version
Yeah, they're interesting. I wonder what kinds of other alternates we'll get.... Hero Wrys makes me think there's quite a range there lol.
War Cleric L'Arachel would be excellent hahaha
I've found this so far, but it's a bit low quality, especially with the audio/video desync. Hopefully uploads a better version.

I can upload mine, although the sound is a bit low... dunno why
Does that cover have both young and old Ike and no Micaiah? Lol.
Or is that Chrom? I really can't tell.

It looks like none of those three are on it.
Also lol that Ephraim is on it but not Eirika.
I could have sworn number 12 (going clockwise) is Ike, but it'd be a pixel version, and this picture is blurry, so who knows who the hell it is.

The slightly taller than the rest lord is Marth from FE11 and/or FE12.
Nah, nothing from the Tellius games or Awakening are here. I believe you're looking at the Marth sprite from Shadow Dragon/New Mystery. Sorry about the quality of my phone's camera, haha.
Yeah, it's actually kind of weird that Eirika is missing, now that you mention it.
Promoted Lyn and unpromoted Hector and Eliwood irks me
Nah, I'm not making fun of your phone, just lamenting that I couldn't find the cover elsewhere to confirm.
And lol Erika.

Looking forward to Roy's reveal trailer where they make fun of Chrom again.

I agree, fuck Roy
I'm okay with Roy possibly returning.
Maybe Sakurai will finally notice some swords in Fire Emblem are ranged weapons, and the Binding Blade will be tossing fire all over the place.
And maybe they'll use his great Awakening DLC design.
But I'm not gonna hold my breath.
I always found Roy more fun to play than Marth anyways, despite how bad he was, and Lucina was too similar for me to want to play her.

It is disappointing that they made Lucina so similar to Marth. Robin seemed like a really cool addition with how he seems to play (I actually have no plans on getting Smash 4) but Lucina could have just been an alt for Marth and they could have given the slot to another character, or even another game.
I agree with this. Also, I like Roy fine, I mean compared to other lords I prefer Sigurd and Ike for instance, so I wouldn't mind him coming back. I just wish that if he did they'd actually make some sort of changes to him which given the track record I doubt they will. But the biggest part why I hope it isn't true is so we don't get Ryu. Jesus, he's just such a hugely boring character and we already have one that actually matters from Capcom anyway. Can we just go to Konami and get Simon Belmont for iconic characters from Nintendo's history instead?
If they got really creative with the ranged fire of the Binding Blade, I personally think it could offer a far more interesting moveset than Hector's axes.
But again, I'm not holding my breath on that. :/
The real tragedy of Roy returning will be having to listen to all the complaints of there being too many sword users, and knowing I'll probably never see a Swordmaster in Smash.
All I can do is hope those Lyn in Project M rumors are true.
The wouldn't have given that slot to another character as she took barely work to do.
There is no way that they were going to bring those 3 in, only reason Roy's coming back is because he's a vet.
I was speaking for my Melee wishlist over a decade ago.
Dude's just a boring and dull character imo.

To be fair, neither of those three would be any different than your normal Fire Emblem swordsmen/Marth clone.
Leaf might be different if they give him the Light Brand so he'll have some range/won't be another Marth clone.
We'll probably never see Sigurd since they aren't going to bring his horse in.
They should introduce Micaiah for something new.

the salt would drown the Fire Emblem/Smash communities lol
Imagine if they use the dlc art omg.
Lord wise, Sigurd all the way. I'm on the Ogma archetype for non lords (and I'm wondering if I should count Ike in this archetype to myself as well).

lol that would make Micaiah fans and haters both salty at the same time
