Social Corrin Social - Still Fire Emblem Social

[Raziek]

Thank you based Warchamp!

Thank you based Warchamp!

Wow. Raziek's ditched Robin.

 

[Raziek]

Dual main, son!

I rep both!

 

[C0rvus]

Oh boy we got Raziek on board! That means we'll have at least one good Corrin player.
I'd elect myself but you know, I can't even fool myself.

 

[False Sense]

Isn't it a little early to be deciding if you're going to dual main?

I mean, I'm sure most of us here would love to play Corrin as a main/secondary, but there's still some unknown factors like his/her actual viability and whether or not his/her play style gels with us personally.

Or maybe you're just that determined to main this character no matter what. If that's the case, good for you.

I'm honestly kinda of surprised anyone thought I might not immediately pick up Corrin lol.

I AM A FIRE EMBLEM GUY THROUGH AND THROUGH.

I can't play anything that doesn't wield a sword. Serious.

 

[Seanp12]

I actually kinda hope FE stands pat in Smash 5 to avoid backlash. Removing Lucina and Roy and replacing one of them would be good, though. But FE has been treated really well this time around.

Personally, I would like the next Lord to just not use a sword. And I kinda like having the avatar as the lord, so it doesn't really make a difference to me whether he's male or female. Even so, Lyn would be nice, since she's basically a myrmidon-lord. And Hector is a fighter-lord. Poor Eliwood is just a boring old lord-lord.

 

[AmericanDJ]

Eliwood is just a boring old lord-lord.

I would have said that he's a mercenary lord but he doesn't really have the stats of a mercenary and I don't think he get's the ability to use axes when he promotes, so that doesn't work.

My reaction to Corrin was identical to the one I had to Robin. I knew within seconds of Robin's reveal that I was going to play the character.

I felt the same way seeing Corrinne. (Additionally, I think we should call FCorrin Corrinne, it's easy.)

 

[Chapter Serf]

I'm salty about Bayonetta, but it's an unpopular opinion, so I won't talk about it.

Corrin was unexpected but looks fun and interesting mechanically speaking, so I'm all about it.

I'm salty about Bayonetta as well, but I'm able to live with it because, while I know it could have been WAAAAAY better (*couhhackIsaachackcough*), it could have been a lot worse.

A LOT worse...

In any event:

Spoiler: Xenoblade Chronicles (No X) Stuff

I just got the spiffier looking Monado, and learned that Fiora isn't "dead".

Spoiler

Although I've known that she didn't really die for some time.

How far through am I?

Halfway, I'd say.

 

[praline]

Finally fem Corrin is available fully as a main!

I'd say that's about 1/3 in.

tfw you have the trailer / direct playing in the background so you can listen to the new music...

I felt like he was my sort of character as well. Hopefully my gut doesn't fail me. It has before. Many times. I still hold Robin as my most played character, so I guess I wasn't wrong the first time. I just have a horrible problem with being indecisive and not being able to commit.

 

[Nu~]

My passion for FE and love of characters with depth has brought me here.

The creative tricks and traps with pacman were fun, but I really feel more comfortable with a sword. It's a beautiful thing seeing that Corrin may also have mixups and tricks for years on end.

Something just feels so right about being able to outreach someone with a disjointed, noncommittal hitbox.

Preach, brother.

 

[C0rvus]

I'd just like to take a moment to out myself as a pleb before we get too deep into things.

Awakening was my first beaten FE game. I tried playing the GBA ones before, but they didn't hold my attention. Played Awakening a ton. In retrospect, the maps were really bad and there was rarely strategy outside of "pair up and hold choke points". I'm also not really one for shipping or waifus but Awakening was still a good time. I am cautiously excited for Fates. I hear they really pumped up the shipping aspects in questionable ways.

I AM PLEB.

Play Path of Radiance. It's the best game of the series.

You're gonna ****ing hate the game in about 4 hours. In a good way.

 

[Seanp12]

That's the only one I haven't played of the international releases, and I probably never will unless they put it on Virtual Console.

I have tried Radiant Dawn, but it's probably my least favorite of the ones I've played. But Path of Radiance has normal supports and stuff, right?

 

[ZephyrZ]

I've played Sacred Stones, Awakening, and Rekka No Ken in that order. I tried Shadow Dragon DS, but the dull characters couldn't hold my attention very well.

I'd love to play PoR and Radiant Dawn, but I can't get my hands on them.

They did in fact pump up the shipping stuff - especially the waifu stuff - but they also improved the gameplay a ton, apparently.

I'm really not excited about the return of forced romance through S-rank supports, but at the very least I hear the Nohr route is great for FE fans looking for a fair challenge.

Same here. The moment I saw Ryoma and realized what that meant, I said to myself "HELLO NEW MAIN!"

Also I fully support the idea of renaming female Corrin to Corrinne.

Isn't it a little early to be deciding if you're going to dual main?

I mean, I'm sure most of us here would love to play Corrin as a main/secondary, but there's still some unknown factors like his/her actual viability and whether or not his/her play style gels with us personally.

Who cares about all that nonsense?! All I need to know is that my chainsaw-blade wielding dragon morphing dual gender Avatar Lord is coming to Smash!

Meanwhile, the internet continues to have fun with the name Corrin!

 

[ZephyrZ]

I think they shouldn't of localized "Corrin's" name and just kept it Kamui. Not because I'm a weeabo or anime purist or whatever, but because that name just doesn't make sense considering everyone from his/her country of birth - including his/her birth siblings - have Japanese names.

Actually, I think it makes more sense, since I would expect that after kidnapping them, Garon would want to rename Kamui something more appropriate for a royal of Nohr.

I thought of that possibility to, but that still wouldn't make sense because his/her Hoshidan family apparently knows him/her by his/her new name now.

But then again, I guess none of this really matters since you can just name "Corrin" whatever you want.

 

[Tomlanji]

All I know is, Kamui is at least one of my mains.

 

[Lavani]

Kamui is a much nicer name than Corrin tbh, and also probably a more relevant name to the character. I'm just going to call the character Kamui personally.

On FE games: I've played the GBA games (didn't finish Binding Blade), have both GCN games but only played part of PoR, beat Awakening on Hard+Lunatic (no DLC), and started Thracia but got distracted by other games before I made much progress, but enjoyed what I played of it. May or may not buy the Nohr version of the upcoming game; didn't really care for the direction Awakening took the series (even though I played it more than the Gamecube games lol, power of handhelds) and Fates hasn't really done anything to catch my interest yet, but:

I'm really not excited about the return of forced romance through S-rank supports, but at the very least I hear the Nohr route is great for FE fans looking for a fair challenge.

sums up my current thoughts.

No substantial interest in the character currently, but f!Kamui is cute and any character with disjoints is a potential character of interest, so we'll see.

 

[Chapter Serf]

Dunno about that. I nearly launched my 3DS at the nearest wall dealing with that bird and that *****. Gonna be kinda hard to top that.

Oh true, I hadn't thought of that. I don't mind Corrin as a name, though I do prefer Kamui, and since you can change their name anyway, it only really affects their Smash incarnation.

Meanwhile, I'm just looking through funny Corrin in Smash pics to keep me busy until February Fatesuary.

 

[Moydow]

Played and beaten all FE games here (except Fates since I don't import from Japan due to bad past experience. Got the special edition on preorder though). Would have also preferred if they left out S-rank supports and children this time around (especially after hearing exactly how they explain the kids being playable), but it's optional so I'm not going to complain too much about it.

 

[micstar615]

I don't mind S supports but could do without the children, I'd rather have more unique "first gen" characters.

 

[Aein]

I'm actually surprised a lot of people in this thread weren't expecting Kamui / Corrin, because I honestly had a strong gut feeling Kamui was going to make it into Smash no matter what. The most relevant and successful game release from Nintendo recently is Fates in Japan, and it would be a great marketing tool for the West. Plus, he/she would be such a unique character with the whole water ninja fluid dragon lord style. The only thing in the way was "Would another Fire Emblem rep really be possible?" I mean... we got Robin, Lucina and Roy this installment! And Chrom cameos, returning Lyn assist trophy, and the Black Knight Mii costume too! As beautiful as all this is for a Fire Emblem fan, I didn't dare hope for more...

But as soon as the direct started and they showed the Fates cutscene, I knew the staff didn't care about that! Kamui was a done deal! xD It was tremendously satisfying. We've finally completed the Fire Emblem triangle of magic, swords and shapeshifters!

Can't wait till February!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I've played every FE game on the eshop, with FE7 being my favourite. When I get a good PC, I'll be naughty nd use an emulator. Except for Radiant Dawn, a friend of mine has it. Also mfw my 3DS is still broken and I haven't preordered the special edition

 

[Deleted member]

I didn't expect Corrin to make it into Smash and thought maybe they'll be in Smash 5 instead if that was ever a thing. But they've made it and I couldn't be more happy.

 

[ARGHETH]

I've only played Awakening (and, like, 10 chapters of PoR), but I swear I've played every mode multiple times.

You probably should have pre-ordered the special edition anyways, or at least that is what I would have done. Even if your 3DS was broken once the game arrived, at least you would not have missed out! Then again, I am probably just rubbing salt in the wound. The GIF accurately represents... Pain?

I've only recently gotten out of money issues, not to mention we PAL pals don't have a release date yet

I thought Sakurai mentioned in a past Direct that this would be the last game? At least, with him as Director, since it was taking quite a toll on his health. I wonder why everyone keeps talking about a Smash 5? Not that I don't hope for one, but I feel like that's too far into the future to even think about. It was seven years from Melee to Brawl, and six till Smash 4. And they've stuffed it with enough stuff to keep us busy for a few more years. After all, hyped characters now might not be so relevant by that time because there will be new ones.
