Smash Bros. does not use canon sizes.
She's more important to the saga overall than Chrom is. She was also incredibly important in the Future Past story. What's more, her longevity means that he is far more likely to STAY relevant than Chrom is.
...Yes, that's exactly it, picking a character with the most appearances representing every Manakete, who are significantly more important than Tingle as they are one of the general alternatives for taking out the Final Boss of the game if you underleveled your lord or failed to achieve the Legendary Weapon of the game.
that has nothing to do with my logic
Well according to the thread's title, the jury is still out on whether or not there will even be DLC on SSB4. Even if there will be, some people are already saying that Chrom's chances of being a playable DLC character dropped thanks to his inclusion in Robin's victory pose.
Yeah, I'm one of those people that don't expect Chrom to be DLC at all.
There is a very good chance we will never see the cast of Awakening again as main title cast.
And then I posted a hypothetical question asking if Chrom would be the main Fire Emblem if Robin never existed in Awakening. Guedes avoided answering the question and now other people are saying "No, we'll still get someone else besides Chrom."
To answer the question, I do feel that if Chrom had a unique enough signature characteristic, he would have been included. If he, hypothetically speaking, had the signature ability to emit and utilize wind from his Falchion, I think Sakurai would have deemed him unique enough to be included, even if a more unique alternative existed. Remember, he didn't get rejected for being a blue-haired swordsman in of itself, but rather because he was a plain old sword wielder without any unique characteristics.
of course i avoided the question. how would have i known?
Because Chrom is the protagonist of the latest game? As of now, he outclasses everyone but Ike and Marth (who are lords of more than a single game) in importance within the Fe games.
It's a simple "Yes" or "No" question. You avoiding the question makes it sound like you don't sound confident that Sakurai will add Chrom to the SSB4 roster even if Robin was hypothetically not in Awakening at all.
Watch as we get Lissa as DLC.Keep this relevant to Chrom, guys.
And please, enough of the "this character would represent this" stuff. It doesn't work that way...Smash isn't Congress. Chrom was never one for diplomacy, anyway.
And I'll say this, though, since I feel I can say it confidently. If there is DLC, and if there is character DLC, and if there is a DLC Fire Emblem character, there's no doubt in my mind it will be Chrom. Not Roy, not Tiki, not Anna, not the 3-13 Archer. It just makes sense, I think. You already have most of the resources, he's a popular character, and he'd have more time to think about what he'd be able to do. After all, he's not above changing his mind. Just my opinion.
Sure, let's get Chrom's ENTIRE FAMILY in before him.
Just waiting on the official word of DLC before the real fun begins. :D
After you've added Owain, Cynthia, Sumia, Emmeryn, Lon'qu, and F!Morgan to Sm4sh, Sakurai, then you have permission to add Chrom.Sure, let's get Chrom's ENTIRE FAMILY in before him.
That being said I wouldn't be opposed to Lissa. But only after Chrom.
Just waiting on the official word of DLC before the real fun begins. :D
x is love. x is life.
you do realize taking Robin out of the plot changes a lot of stuff, right? I don't know what kinds of decisions the FEA team made that were done thanks to Robin. Maybe skills were only a thing because they thought it would be a better customization for our Avatar. If that was the case Chrom wouldn't have any skills and would be blander. The exact same reasoning could've applied for Class changing. At which point we'd get no Chrom because THEN he'd offer nothing. All the same, without Robin, Chrom would get a bigger focus and could've gotten a special ability or two along the way. maybe something incredibly game-changing.
YES AND ITS AMAZING
That's kind of surprising to hear, honestly. It seems like most of the Chrom supporters here don't like that he's a part of Robin's victory pose; if you don't mind me asking, why are you so happy about it?
Not impossible. It is very unlikely, in my opinion, but not impossible.
Let me put this in prospective.
I agree with your points, and I would say that Chrom being DLC is very unlikely.
The section is not for "Fire Emblem: Awakening" its for "Fire Emblem" his role in the latest game doesn't matter. Once a character is designed you have to expect they will be a repeat appearance character. The amount of resource 'wasted' if you cannot reuse it for a later title is a factor. Avatar Units seem to be maintaining, we've had one for the past
I agree that Chrom is unlikely.
A lot these are good points, but that's all above will happen inevitably. It's however, a long timespan before all of it will be fulfilled. So it's best to let the time tell what happens. We've had expectations happening before anyway.
Villager and Little Mac bring more to the table than Chrom does. Dark Pit is just a last minute addition like Lucina, if the roster placement is any indication, meaning little time was spent in his inclusion and consequently had lower production costs, as a lot of the work usually done in the making of a new character was already done.

stated, there's the whole development factor that would be a big hassle in order to not only design a new character from scratch, but the whole retconning factor involving removing Chrom's appearances as part of Robin's Final Smash and win poses.
Yeah, I realized that after writing my reply first time. I guess didn't phrase well what I meant. I wrote this in place of the reply to SouLBlazer:Villager and Little Mac bring more to the table than Chrom does. Dark Pit is just a last minute addition like Lucina, if the roster placement is any indication, meaning little time was spent in his inclusion and consequently had lower production costs, as a lot of the work usually done in the making of a new character was already done.
Next to Marth and Ike, Chrom feels redundant. He fits the same Lord archetype and that is detrimental to variety.
Also, like @
To quote Sakurai regarding some statements about making Chrom DLC: "Have you ever made a game?"
FS retconning doesn't sound easy though.
1- Miis got in anyways. And a lot of people dislike Chrom because they have never seen him in action. Take shulk for example: he had the same crows of "no moveset potential swordsman" chanting against him and he looks awesome. sure, the Monado can do a bit more stuff than the falchion; but my point is that a cool attitude + being a powerful fighter makes you great in smash bros.
people seem to think we simply don't know that our movement was born in a world of strife, but still, against the odds, we chose to fight.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. go outside, get some coffee, and stop being so butthurt.
We know the odds are steep, but that's still not an impossibility.
I concur with you. No definite answer as it is for dlc but chrom is the number one candidate for dlc
Admittedly, number one might be overstating it a wee bit, but there's still no reason that I can think of to say he isn't a viable contender all the same! ^_^
Number one? Out of all the potential DLC characters, you think Chrom is number one?
