http://mynintendonews.com/2014/07/17/sakurai-explains-why-chrom-isnt-playable-in-smash-bros-says-he-lacks-any-unique-characteristics/
>Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai says that he cut Chrom from the roster because he lacks any unique characteristics. Sakurai explains that he thought long and hard about adding Chrom, but he decided that Chrom would just end up being too similar to the other sword-wielders like Marth and Ike.
>“Initially, I had considered including Lucina as one of Marth’s alternate costumes. After all, she has a close relationship with him in FE:A. In such cases, even if two characters’ names and voices differ, as long as they function the same way, I assign them as alternate costumes. The Wii Fit Trainers, Villagers, and Robin are examples of this setup.”
>“However, even though Lucina shares her physical stats and techniques with Marth, the characteristics of their attacks differ. When two such similar characters function in an even slightly different manner, I give them a separate spot on the roster since that will affect battle records and whatnot. In that sense, you could say she was very lucky to join the fray!”
Oh god dammit.
>>253590585
She took no "spot" and is just a lucky bonus, what is wrong with that?
Great. Another character to fucking slog through Classic and All Star with.
>>253590585
That means that Gematsu was never BTFO in the first place.
Take that, anti-fags!
>>253590664
Nothing wrong with that, just that the Gematsufags are going to take this as proof that they were right.
>>253590585
>Chrom lacks any unique characteristics
>okay so let's use girl marth
>>253590873
Are you stupid? MU got in instead of Chrom. Lucina was gonna be an alt for Marth either way, but Sakurai tweaked her a little and gaver her her own slot
>>253590946
still stupid
>okay guys no clones
>Lucina is a literal clone of Marth
>the only difference is the sweetspot on her sword (which is all of it)
I can't be too mad about Lucina. She could've been made by a bunch of interns in the course of a week. It's not like it took a lot of dev time away from making other characters.
>>253591083
He never said no more clones. Try doing some research before you cry bullshit
>>253591083
I don't see the problem. There really no difference between making Lucina her own character or making her a Marth costume, except that it tingles your autism
HAHAHAHHA
>b-b-but he can replace Ike because he fights exactly like him
AND THAT'S WHY HE GOT BTFO
POST YOUR FACE WHEN /v/
>>253590585
Thank God. Chrom would have been the worst reveal ever
>>253591308
making her a costume would be accepted because she's not taking up a fucking slot as a clone.
>>253591362
>taking up a slot
What makes you think the amount of characters is limited by an amount of slots rather than an amount of development time?
>>253591362
>muh hard limit of slots
The number is flexible based on what's being added, you duck.
>Lacks any unique characteristics
Yeah, he lacks the waifu crap. Fucking Lucinafaggots.
Plus, it's really fucking gutsy by Sakurai to say Lucina has unique characteristics when all she is are a 1:1 Marth clone both in the Fire Emblem games and in Smash.
>>253591362
Are you really that stupid?
>>253590585
What a BORING character. Wish we got someone interesting.
>>253591338
He doesn't even fight like Ike. Sakurai would've made up an unique moveset for him but realized there's nothing that makes him really different from Marth or Ike and he'd feel like a mixture of both
>>253591437
Because they're going to stop at a nice round multiple of 5
>>253590585
>Don't be retards, Lucina isn't a Marth clone.
>She was going to be a Marth skin.
>Main difference now is sweetspot.
>>253591497
>it's really fucking gutsy by Sakurai to say Lucina has unique characteristics
Where are you getting the idea that Sakurai ever said that? Sakurai has said multiple times that Lucina is exactly like Marth, hence why he planned on making her Marth's alt costume originally
>>253591647
Because Brawl had exactly 40, right?
>>253590664
So we got another melee clone situation?
>>253591647
m-muh autism
>>253590664
The creators of the game probably want to keep the game's roster from getting too large. So although there isn't a predetermined number of "slots," Lucina's inclusion makes every other character ever-so-slightly less likely to be included.
>>253590585
she's so bland. I can't even waifufag because there's nothing to her.
>>253591683
What if she has a different final smash? What will you fags say then?
>>253591780
yes
>>253591846
>The creators of the game probably want to keep the game's roster from getting too large.
Why? A larger roster is a better thing for them, remember that each character will have an Amiibo?
They decided which characters they wanted to add at the start of development anyway. Anything after that is a bonus.
>>253591894
She'll probably have Critical Hit, but with Awakening's face slide-in and "I CHALLENGE MY FATE"
>>253591846
No it doesn't
>>253591913
If it means we get a bigger roster than we expected then I'm fine with that, I don't mind clones.
>>253591362
>SLOTS SLOTS SLOTS
You really think they said "Okay, even with the budget and time when we hit THIS many characters we're done. Nobody could possibly want more characters than this."
She's a last-minute lazy bonus, but it was her or nothing in her place. Stop acting like [your character of choice] was dropped in lieu of her.
>>253592001
Shit, that sounds pretty cool actually.
>yfw Lucina will always be the first character to be cut from smash 5 roster predictions
>yfw she's even confirmed before Marth
>yfw the butthurt of Japan Time 3.0 will be so enormous it travels through timespace and you can feel it even now
Didn't Smash already have enough swordsmen? Just because this one's a girl she's unique? I don't think Sakurai knows what the word unique means. There are a lot of female swordsman in videogames.
>the main characteristics of their attacks differs
Not a big enough deal to put her in as a seperate character.
And some blind Nintendo-worshipping fanboys will still defend this shit.
>>253590585
>Chrom doesn't have any unique characteristics, so he doesn't get to be a character at all
>Lucina is so similar to Marth that she was almost an alternate costume, but they decided to change a sweetspot on her sword so that's enough to make her an individual character
I'm just glad we got Robin.
>>253592405
>There are a lot of female swordsman in videogames.
Not in Smash though
>>253590664
>Lucina
BOOOOOOOORING.
>>253592216
You know what's cool? This
>Let's start with Lucina (first image). She has the exact same set of special moves that Marth does, but like the game's director Masahiro Sakurai explained, the main difference between Lucina and Marth is that the former's moves will do the same damage regardless of which part of her blade hits, whereas Marth's attacks will only do maximum damage if the tip of his blade brushes the opponent.
>One very important detail that both the character reveal trailer and Sakurai left out, however, is that you can actually start a match as Lucina with her mask on. In fact, Lucina has a taunt that lets her put on or remove the mask, in a similar fashion to Guile's "sunglasses" taunt in Ultra Street Fighter 4.
>>253592405
5 in Brawl if you count Metaknight, now 6 in Kerfuffle, 7 if you count Robin who is half swordsman half Harry Potter
>>253592405
>Just because this one's a girl she's unique? I don't think Sakurai knows what the word unique means
Holy fucking shit, are you guys retarded? When Sakurai talks about the unique character he's talking about Robin. He's directly emphasizing that Lucina is exactly like Marth
>>253592630
That actually is pretty cool
>>253590585
Remember when Nintendo characters were fun and goofy and likable? Then we have this forgettable piece of shit clone. R.I.P. Creativity
>>253592630
dayum dat Kirby
>>253590585
>When two such similar characters function in an even slightly different manner, I give them a separate spot on the roster since that will affect battle records and whatnot. In that sense, you could say she was very lucky to join the fray!
Is no one else reading this and wondering how many more clones there are? Or is he talking about the series in general and its many clones?
WHEN WILL YOU GUYS LEARN THAT SHE HAS A DIFFERENT NAIR
WHEN
Marth wasn't even that amazing of a character, this bitch is just unnecessary and lame.
>>253592869
Dark Pit
>>253592630
Casual babbymode Marth
Perfecr for grlgaymers
Why can't Roy just come back?
>>253591894
Just like Fox, Falco, and Wolf do right?
>>253593067
cause he's fucking shit
>>253590585
What a unique, exciting and original character. Her character design and attacks just has so much personality and uniqueness. Never seen a character like this before!
>>253592869
We already know of Dark Pit,
so if I had to guess, I'd say Metal Sonic, if we're lucky. He was a skin for Sonic in SADX
>>253592869
The only other clones are Toon Link and Ganon who have the same deal as Lucina
>>253593067
Roy was a Marth clone that was only there to advertise the Fire Emblem game released closest to that version of Smash.Lucina is the same thing.
>>253593067
I would gave prefered Roy back over Lucina, at least he has fire in his attacks.
>>253593067
Nobody likes Roy
Everyone bitching about Lucina is retarded
ROBIN Was the new character reveal
Lucina is just a marth costume that got edited enough to become its own character
Moaning about cutting Chrom for Lucina is dumb, because he wasn't. He was cut for Robin
>waste everyone's time with this slut instead of putting in a good character
fucking Sakurai
>>253593028
>yfw the small difference will be what makes Lucina SS tier and Marth B tier
>yfw all former Marth players will use Lucina
>yfw nobody plays Marth anymore
>yfw Lucina stays in smash 5 and Marth is cut
>>253593316
Dude can get his choice of 6 girls for his ending. Nigga is a pimp.

But identical to Marth's.
>>253593368
The only time wasted is everyone bitching about it on the internet.
>>253593320
Everyone bitching about people bitching is retarded. Because they're double the bitch.

Stop being stupid
>>253590757
THEY WERE RIGHT YOU FUCK.
DOES ANYONE HONESTLY THINK THAT GEMATSU WAS A LUCKY GUESS
MII FIGHTER?
jesus christ. Don't even dump the gamblers fallacy, whatever fallacy issue, it doesn't apply.
>>253593316
>>253593316
Roy > Lucina
>>253593283
But isn't that Robin's job minus him/her being a clone?
>>253593421
they changed it to be a single round slash in 4, I think. Lucina's is 2 to the front, one to the back
I just hope shulk is in
>>253593083
Wolf, fox and Falco all play completely differently
All of them having a blaster as a neutral B, a reflector as down b, and fox and Falco sharing their side/up bs doesn't mean they're the same character
>>253593316
I like Roy. Way better than boring waifufag-pandering Lucina
>>253593464
>Character meant as a self insert is the same as the Lord of the game.
Bro, come on. Think a little.
>Chrom would be too similar to the other sword-wielders
>Put Lucina in
>She's a clone of marth
Sakurai is an idiot.
>>253593580
not when you have growths like this
>>253593616
Incorrect.
>>253593316
I would take Roy over Lucina anyday
>>253593542
>Fallacies don't apply because I said so
That's not even a fallacy, that's just retarded.
>>253593719
At least he gets a good promotion!at the end of the fucking game, fuck Roy
>>253593668
Character ? No.
Moveset ? Yes.
>>253593669
I like Lucina. Way better than boring husbando-pandering Roy
>>253590585
>>253590585
>>253590585
He never said he cut Chrom at all.
>>253590757
If Chrom was considered he still would have been cut by mid-late 2012.
>>253590585
>mfw marth from melee isn't a girl
>mfw they add female marth to new smash
>>253593591
No, Robin is a unique character that will likely stand the test of time just like Ike, and remain as Smash's resident tactician representative of Fire Emblem.
Unless they start making customizable self insert tacticians as playable units with their own story and character a thing from now on, and based on Awakening's popularity that's actually pretty likely.
>>253593719
Those are actually decent growths. He's just shit because he doesn't promote until the last chapter and is a useless shit throughout the entire game because of that
>>253593825
But Marth is already a boring husbando-pandering character so you're just contradicting yourself.
>>253593921
Wat
>>253590585
basically this >>253590664
sakurai basically said she was a reskinned marth with slightly different move variations.
Falco in Melee probably required more work than she did.
All I want is Ray 01. Stop being a little bitch Sakurai
>>253593542
>hmmm these miis fight I wonder what we should call them
>>253590585
Honestly can't even pretend to be hyped for this. the character itself is not only a clone but looks generic as fuck
>>253593802
Pro tip: Only two moves are shared between the move sets, and that's fox and Falco's side and up b moves
Everything else is different between the three
If they had the same move sets they'd all play identically. When in reality good players recognise how different they are
>>253593542
You'd have to be a brain damaged retard to not see miis coming
>>253593969
Why would they do that, anyway? Wouldn't it make more sense to give him a normal promotion to use in the main game, and then give him a second special promotion at the end like that?
>>253594075
And Falco is probably the clone that took the least work. That's why he returned for Brawl
>>253593952
So he's just serving both jobs, pushing the newest game and being an original character who will remain like Ike.
Lucina's existence really just has no purpose.
Smash just gets worse and worse.
>>253593542
I honestly think that he just said something like
"Palutena, Pac-man and the mii fighters will be annunced at E3"
He could have said
"Pac-Man, Miis and Paluetna fighters will be announced at E3"
He's just lucky
>>253594028
And Roy is only wanted because of "Muh melee"
As you can see in the thread, most people that have actually played the games he was in don't like him because he's a useless piece of shit
>>253592630
>One very important detail that both the character reveal trailer and Sakurai left out, however, is that you can actually start a match as Lucina with her mask on. In fact, Lucina has a taunt that lets her put on or remove the mask, in a similar fashion to Guile's "sunglasses" taunt in Ultra Street Fighter 4.
neat
>>253594154
because
I dunno
Roy is supposed to be weak I guess. In the game they say it a lot that Roy is not the best swordsman and that he can't wield the legendary weapons.
I like Chrom's colour scheme better than those red and blue lords being added right and left to SMB since forever
White cape looks goodWhy isn't Chrom an alternate costume for Ike?
>>253594350
Neither Lucina nor Roy belong in smash.
>>253594308
Robin will stay. About Lucina I'm not sure. She could be downgraded to alt costume status anytime
>>253593542
The press kit said they were mii fighters.
>>253594479
We can all agree on that.
>>253590585
So basically,
>I didn't put in Chrom because he was boring as fuck and Ike/Marth are more interesting/important
>I put in Robin because I wanted an FE character who could use magic and represent breakable weaponry
>I spent five seconds making Lucina her own character so people wouldn't bitch about either of Awakening's lame MC's who weren't self-inserts not getting a slot
That makes a lotta sense. Sakurai is a smart dude. I'm still maining Ike, but the inclusion of Lucina makes sense now.
>>253590681
>classic
>all star
Someone should break it to this poor guy
>>253594342
Didn't he say those characters last E3 anyway, along with Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Little Mac?
>>253594479
Lucina is a highly requested and popular character
why is femu such a qt?
Captain Falcon punched Chrom off the roster
>>253594308
Other than being both a requested character and an easy to implement clone that was originally intended as a skin?
>Falco shouldn't be in game because he shares a couple attacks with fox and Starfox doesn't need 3 reps
>>253594118
>Ray 01
You imply that he'd be a good addition to the roster but I can think of no real reason to add him.
Why should Sakurai add a character who has size issues (and he's said as much), is from dead franchise, is from an IP that is not old enough to be considered retro yet not new enough to be relevant, and has a very, very small following worldwide? He's fine as an assist trophy but there's no reason he should be playable, and Sakurai understands this.
I think asking for Geno, Skull Kid, and Ashley is ridiculous, but asking for Ray is even more out there to me, right up there with Saki.
>>253594443
Ike has a different stature than Chrom
>>253590585
This is a joke, right? I know waifufags are gonna like regardless but wow they got lazy. Super fucking lazy
>>253594716
>size issues
Fuck you, olimar is a fucking inch tall in his game
All of the conflicts would have been avoided if Sakurai just replaced Marth with Lucina instead of adding both of them, just thing about it:
>No tears from the autists that complain about "clones"
>This would please the tourneyfags because she would be the same as marth
>Pandering to the waifufags that wanted to play as her
3 birds with one stone, and marth isn't even relevant outside of smash anyways.
>>253594767
>including a bonus character noone expected is lazy
Oh you retarded entitled NEETs on /v/ are amusing
>>253594623
Requesting more smash comics
I love these
Anyone got the new one with the newcomers and c.falcon
"I WAS PROMISED ROCKET BOOTS"
>>253590585
Could have made him a skin instead of part of robins final smash
>>253594767
NINTENDO.
>>253594921
Marth fans would be butthurt. And honestly fuck the autists who can't see that there's almost no difference between Lucina being an alt or her own character.
>>253594846
Olimars power level allows him to change size at will
>>253594921
>Implying there wouldn't be an uproar about Marth being replaced by "waifu-pandering"
>>253594716
Olimar.
Ray 01 would actually have a unique moveset and would really benefit from the custom movesets.
>>253594846
Sakurai has no problem sizing Olimar up, but he thinks that Ray should still be small because he's a toy. Call it silly reasoning, but that's just the way it is. Ray is not making it in.
>>253594932
>"no u just retard!!1"
Wow, it's like I'm back in 3rd grade.
Guys.
Considering Sakurai's comments about making characters into costume slots for others, now, what if we get Fox and Wolf, and Falco becomes an alt. 'costume' for the former?
I was completely opposed to the idea of different characters being costumes, but considering Sakurai's latest comments it's almost possible.
>>253595079
>Ray 01 would actually have a unique moveset
So does every newcomer but Lucina. Not exactly a compelling argument.
>and would really benefit from the custom movesets.
We already have Miis and Palutena. Even that aside, there are too many other obstacles to his inclusion.
>>253595050
better than what's happening right now
>>253590585
>people are actually complaining that they gave an alt costume a few unique attributes and a character slot
>they would seriously prefer her as just a costume
How does this make any sense
I'd take a clone with slight diffrences over a fucking alt costume any day.
Very lazy, Nintendo. Very LAZY
>>253595115
Sakurai's reasoning makes no fucking sense either way.
>I'll make characters into alt costumes if they play exactly the same.
>But I'll also make Lucina slightly different from Marth.
>So that's why Lucina is her own character.
>>253595102
>make a retarded statement
>WAAAH STOP INSULTING ME
But it's nice to know that you were a stupid kid, too
>>253594939
>>253591338
>Ike uses Two hander swords.
>Marth uses one hand sword.
>Fights the same.
My inner /tg/ is raging right now.
>Strength base fighter > Dex based pussy acrobats.
>>253593952
>Unless they start making customizable self insert tacticians as playable units with their own story and character a thing from now on, and based on Awakening's popularity that's actually pretty likely.
It was a FE12 thing first.
>>253594921
>and marth isn't even relevant outside of smash anyways.
He's the main lord who has appeared in the most number of games and the "face" of the series unless you want to argue Anna.
>>253595217
how does that not make sense?
>>253595217
By that logic each character should have clones in the roster instead of alt costumes. Still, the tryhard fanboys would defend Sakurai's stupidity.
>>253594716
Why is Skull Kid or Ashley ridiculous
Ashley would only be the second warioware rep, and she's probably the most popular character from the series along with Mona
Skull Kid would be nice. Just cause I think Zelda's big enough now to deserve a 6th rep that was a callback to older games
Right now every character is based on designs from TP or WW
>>253595217
But that does make sense
>>253595081
Pichu was just as small
It could happen
Why do people care if she gets her own slot?
I don't understand you guys. How is that a bad thing?
sakurai is a troll and a moron
so sick of his shit PLEASE UNDASTAND WE WAN NO CLONES. Yeah go fuck yourself, AND I HAVE MADE A GAME YOU STUPID FUCKING CUNT!
>>253594616
I like Titty monster FeMU
>>253595286
>with their own story and character
FE12's avatar didn't really have that, Robin was a lot better.
>>253595115
I thought Falco was gonna be an alt of Fox and Wolf was gonna stay a seperate character, but now with the inclusion of Lucina I believe Falco will also be a seperate character
>>253594350
I did. Late promotion aside, he wrecked everything in his way.
I liked Eliwood less.But Hector is better than them all.
>>253590585
Generic and lame character. Doesn't deserve to be in Smash. Marth himself wasnt all that either
>>253595376
Autism
muh slots
>>253592630
>Casual mode Marth
>ebin balanced damage all throughout
what the fuck
>>253595081
You can say it's unlikely, but don't say he wont be in until he's deconfirmed.
>>253595170
He will always have a chance as long as he's not deconfirmed. He was an assist trophy in the last game, that only puts him close to being in.
>>253590585
>>253590585
>>253590585
Whenever I see this Marth clone I just think of one word.
>>253595370
>
>>253595403
They had character and a story, it was just very, very bland.
>>253590585
Sakurai confirmed for waifu/Lucinafag.
>>253590585
Why don't they have axe or spear characters, like her sister.
>Canon sister and best sister decision.
The mii fighters even have "Brawler" "Sword" and "Gun" types, was having "spear" and "axe" types really that hard? Ike's character is already have way there for axes.
>Two handed sword works like a battle axe.
I said close.
>>253595540
And?
It's basically Roy
i hope everyone who bitches about this actually follows up and refuses to buy the game
that way they'll get to spend the better part of next year just watching as everyone else has shitloads of fun with the game, while they sit in their basement with sore asses because of ONE new clone
>>253595334
>Why is Skull Kid or Ashley ridiculous
Because people want Skull Kid just because they like Majora's Mask yet they can't even think of a moveset besides a final smash. People only want Ashely because they're lolicons, I very rarely see people wanting her in and actually proposing a decent moveset. Mona would make more sense seeing how she's been around longer.
>>253595356
Pichu was also from one of Nintendo's best selling franchises and didn't have tiny limbs that would be impossible to see on a 3DS.
>>253595370
Why is Kirby the cutest thing ever?
>>253595446
at least Eliwood gets a horse when he promotes
>>253593397
They didn't cut Mario in favor of Dr. Mario, did they?
>>253595595
Ike can use Axes. Might have them as custom moves
>>253590585
She's shit.
>>253595356
Pikachu is actually meant to be tiny too for that matter
The one is smash is like a giga-chu
>>253595703
>>253595676
>ecause people want Skull Kid just because they like Majora's Mask yet they can't even think of a moveset besides a final smash
What? Thinking up a moveset for Skull Kid is incredibly easy
>>253595387
He never said there wouldn't be any clones. Chrom got kicked for Robin, which is a good choice, and Lucina is just a glorified alt costume that took five minutes to make. Get informed before you get mad like a retard.
Also, your game is probably shit.
>>253595703
>>253595703
Like Father, Like Son.
>>253595703
Still can't hold his own fucking sword properly and gets doubled by everything if he uses it
At least this reveal got me to pick FE:A back up.
>>253595115
>Completely opposed to the idea of different characters as costumes
Cancer
I just hope there would be more diversity in trophies for FE. Having only Path of Radiance and just one lyn trophy because of the assist trophy model was such a disappointment
She's just so...nothing. So bland and nothing. Meh
>>253595590
You're just learning that now?
Have you been under a rock?
Guts =Ike
Griffith = Marth

Seriously. FE characters deserve a lot of representation as assists. Now with the inclusion of Lucina and Robin I hope for a lot of FE assists

They obviously ride in the carts. Ether that or they ride the horses, and when combat starts they unmount because they don't have the right feats and would be massive penalties.
Can someone give a link to /v/s archives please I wanna look something up

>By that logic each character should have clones in the roster instead of alt costumes.
Uh, no? Lucina was altered slightly from Marth. Lucas was a slight alter from Ness. If DK had a slight alter of himself, Sakurai would most likely put it as its own character from his own explanation. But he does not; he's got costumes.
What's not to understand about that?
Lucina and Chrom as a FS took maybe a tenth of the effort that a fully playable Chrom. And yeah, he's not unique enough. I'm glad the new FE rep that isn't a clone is Robin, that's far more interesting than what we usually get.

People want skull kid in because he's a well likes character
Same for Ashley. Try to spin it any way you want people want them because they want them in, not because of the reasons you imply
And we don't make the movesets, Sakurai does
>Hurr how would rosalina fight
>Hurr how would villager fight
>Hurr how would wft fight
It's fucking easy
Skull kid has flight powers
Chuck in some dark magic bullshit and a floaty style like mewtwo, maybe a move where he can stun people by turning you into a scrub for a couple seconds
Final smash he brings down the moon
Ashley's a witch
Let her fight with that little Red Devil dude
Couple magic spells, throws potions at people, easy

>>253596058
Who's Robin?
>>253596230
Because they have a lot of different characters and there are more characters than the main lords that are worth showing off.
Also it's a franchrise with 13 games
>>253595387
Holy fuck, Sakurai never said there wouldn't be any clones.
How often are you insipid fucks going to continue shouting this outright lie?
>>253590757
How the fuck would this prove him right? He's still not playable. And now they have three seperate characters that he failed to guess. And once again, "an x/y pokemon" is hardly even worth counting.
>>253596401
Please elaborate on how or stop shitposting.

You are aware that melee had six or so clones instead of ONE new character, right?
Clones don't take slots. At least not on a 1:1 ratio. They're practically bonuses, and I honestly wish there were more.
>>253596107

>>253591647
64 had 12 characters.
Melee had 26 characters.
Brawl had 39 characters.
Where the fuck did you pull that shit from?

I don't hate Sakurai. He's just a pretentious idiot with shit logic and has shit taste in characters.

I don't even like Chrom and this is complete bullshit? Lucina is unique? How the hell is she unique? She is a cardboard cut out of an female Marth. They would have all been shit. Ike is the only decent FE rep.
>>253590585
at least put in an exciting new character instead of this bullshit
Why the fuck can Robin use Nosferatu?
I'm really getting sick of sakurai's "uuuuuhhh no characters as alts" bullshit. Because of his stupid ass we probably won't get a protoman alt for Megaman.

>>253595317
>>253596334
You know I actually like the idea of every character "having a clone" of themselves, or basically being able to slightly alter any of the characters.
Make a stronger hit Mario, but trade up speed or health. = Dr. Mario
Make a stronger Ganondorf but give up power. = Captain Falcon
I wouldn't even need them to be alternate characters, maybe just have the ability to change them on selection.
I love the new alternate move idea, but I know tournament play will end up having everyone pick the "right moves".
>>253596943
Why the fuck can Ness use PK Fire?

>>253590585
Wow Lucina? How pathetic can nintendo get? Did they leave their brains at the door? NO ONE likes lucina she was the worst part of the entire game.
>>253595264
Ike uses one hand swords too.
If something, Chrom can also use lances.

>I decided not to put Chrom because he is a lot similar to marth
>Lucina Looks similar to marth but i put her anyway
Just say it Sakurai. You put her because she has tits.
If he wanted a female Fire Emblem most unique character he could put Lynn or one of the current non-Lord characters.
And besides, we already have Robin, Wich is already unique, And Ike, and Marth. Lucina has no purpose at all in the game if she will play "slightly different" to marth. Ike already plays "slightly different" by being slower and stronger.
>>253597009
>>253596921
>Tits
You answered your own question.
>>253590718
The dev team for smash decided who they wanted before they even made mario in the new game They planned out the characters and their movesets and then started on them. Chrom was never going to be a character from day one. Gematsu is wrong and fake. Accept it.
Fuck your shit
When's Rayman
>>253596956
>I'm really getting sick of sakurai's "uuuuuhhh no characters as alts" bullshit.
Technically his position is now "no characters as alts if I randomly decide that giving them minimally different characteristics is worth making them separate".
>>253596921
Are you too goddamn retarded to read? Lucina was gonna be in anyway as Marth's costume.
The character that got in in favor of Chrom was Robin. It was either gonna be Chrom and Lucina or Robin and Lucina.
How do you not get that?
>>253591619
so he put a female mixture of them
>>253597125
Lynn would have actually been cool.
>>253590585
>says that he cut Chrom
He can't cut what was never there to begin with.
He played with the idea of adding Chrom but he decided against it.
"Chrom was too similar to Marth, so instead we added chick Marth."
What the actual fuck?
>>253594040
I believe joke is "nigga you gay"
because riley
This puts another hole Gematsu leak. It sounds like Chrom was considered and cut early on so even if the leak was outdated - he shouldn't have been listed on there. With Lucina originally a Marth Alt and declared as "lucky" to get in means that she wasn't even planned originally.
It was always Robin vs Chrom and Robin won.
>>253597009
I think the gist of what he's saying is, chrom didn't have anything to offer as a full new character so they cut him in favour of the more interesting Robin.
Lucina was being developed as a Marth alt costume, due to her intentional similarity to him in awakening, but then it was decided that they'd just put her in a different slot and she'd get some unique properties but she still wouldn't take up much extra development time.
