Obviously Captain Falcon.

Once I’m done making his Mii, it will probably be Aragorn son of Arathorn.

Why are these guys called "anime swordsmen" if they all come from video games and not anime, and common consensus is that real anime characters like Goku can't be in Smash?

It's a joke dude.

And what's the joke? Because I don't see how calling video game characters "anime swordsmen" can be funny. It's like calling TV characters "movie stars."

 

[Manonymous]

There is a criticism in the Smash community which is "There are to many anime swordfighters in Smash". Those who say that complain about characters from Fire Emblem, Shulk, or other "realistic" human with a sword. The goal of the thread is to take that criticism and make fun about it by saying who is our favorite "anime swordfighter in Smash".

On another note, the term "anime" also refers to the "anime style" artistic design of some games.

Well, I guess Fire Emblem fits the anime style. But the definition of anime is Japanese animated shows, so video games don't qualify. Avatar: The Last Airbender had the anime style but many Avatar fans would tell you that it's not anime because it didn't originate in Japan. Yes these games with the so-called "anime swordsmen" did originate in Japan, but they came from video games, not cartoons. And Cloud's movie was 3D CGI and not 2D animation, so he definitely is not an anime swordsman.

The goodest boy Chrom as he looks like he got dressed by falling into a wardrobe followed closely by his best friend/destined murderer/potential wife or heterosexual life partner; Robin.
