Robin is very different in that he fights primarily with tomes and doesn't use a shield. Erdrick is a fighter first and a spellcaster second, he doesn't use any sort of spell focus and unlike Link it's possible he could incorporate his shield into his moveset somehow.

So! I dislike playing as Robin in Ultimate. So Corrin is actually my new main.

Oh, ****. Given all my inactivity, there are a LOT of people to add to the supporters list. This... might take a while. Glad Erdrick's chances are on the up!

The number of fans who actually like Robin in the Fire Emblem games who play Super Smash Bros. is probably very low. So they likely prefer the female version because they find the female version more attractive than the male version, although they play the character because they enjoy playing as...

Here's exactly what they said: "These are going to be characters that are new to the series... characters that you would not anticipate to be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate..." It doesn't actually say what series they're new to. It could be that's what they meant. I doubt it. I think that they...

Once again, late, but you have a good point about not adding Geno because it wouldn't get more people to buy the DLC.

Look at it this way; action is only necessary if people think it's necessary. Yeah, there are more Italian stereotypes in the cast of Super Smash Bros. than Native American ones, but nothing needs to be done about the blatant Italian stereotypes since no one gives a ****. Meanwhile, Native...

Just added you to the list. Erdrick's fighting style of choice is a sword and shield mixed with magic, which isn't really shared by any other fighter. Link does have a sword and shield, but he doesn't really make much use of the shield and makes use of a variety of tools, not just his sword...

You've been added. Glad to welcome you to the group!

Fair. I personally don't agree; I worry about everyone getting overly worked up about "authenticity" to the "original", least of all Sakurai. So I'm holding my breath. As for Geno; yeah, I agree that Erdrick is probably just as likely, thanks to Dragon Quest being crazy popular in Japan and the...

It's pretty simple actually. No one is offended by Mario and Luigi, but people are offended by blatant Native American stereotypes. It's the same reason Speedy Gonzales was put back on the air, but Jynx has purple skin now.

Well, I can see Super Smash Bros. using Erdrick's male design but not their female one, since their female design was not actually part of the original game; it was added to the Super Famicom version. You could always play as a female character in that game, even in the Famicom version, but...

Kuon, I added you to the list!

This is a bit late, but I've added some new faces to the list.

One character and one echo isn't the same thing no, but I think whether or not a character is an echo character matters mostly in terms of development time, since Sakurai doesn't think in terms of slots. Point is, if he's willing to license two Street Fighter characters, or two Castlevania...
