Favorite Anime Swordfighter in Smash Ultimate?

[GambitGGuy]

Either Shulk or Cloud for me, can't decide

 

[CrusherMania1592]

It's Roy because best boy

 

[Orlando BCN]

Cloud, Roy, and Marth.

 

[Oddball]

Cloud, then Link, then the other Link, then the other other Link.

Not Our Boy Tier: Everyone else

 

[osby]

Obviously , only good choice.

 

[Sabertooth]

Does Link count? If so, Link. But I guess of the more traditional ones that only use sword moves, I kind of like Roy. I think he should have been in Brawl instead of Marth.

 

[Manonymous]

Obviously Ganondorf.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

None of them.

 

[MalachitJR]

My boy is the answer and thats final.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

: Best anime character, and best sword wielder.

 

[Vanguard227]

Within Smash Bros: Marth, Ike, Link,

Outside of Smash Bros: Link, Ike, Cloud

: Best anime character, and best sword wielder.

 

[Frizz]

Anime is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Robin, but I'm sure most people would categorize him as such.

"Seinen-esque"? Awakening generally has a more down-to-earth design approach.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Link, Toon Link, and Young Link, of course.

 

[osby]

Also, if I'm going to answer it seriously, it's Robin, but Shulk, Lucina and Ike are close seconds. (though in terms of game-play, I'm only good at Robin)

 

[Sabertooth]

Oh, I totally forgot that Isaac is in this game. And he doesn't even use his sword at all! Let's go with him.

 

[Fell God]

The only one I'm capable of being successful with

 

[Cetus]

cause I'm biased for Xenoblade.

 

[TheTrueBrawler]

My Favorite Anime Swordfighter?

 

[Captain Shades]

Home-girl Lucina comes first

After that Chrom

 

[Peridorito]

Toon Link, but he's more of a cartoon swordfighter.

 

[osby]

Toon Link, but he's more of a cartoon swordfighter.

Anime=Animation=Cartoon

Same thing

 

[Caiahar]

: Best anime character, and best sword wielder.

Masked Dedede might as well be able to turn his hammer into a damn sword with how much tech he’s put in it lmao.

And did you see him just snatch that axe in Triple Deluxe? Granted, that wasn’t exactly him doing it and it’s not a sword but still.

 

[Crystanium]

Ike. He's the first original FE character after Marth. I would say Link, but he's more of an all-around character.

 

[thirsty-pocket]

Link for me. Been one of my all time favorite characters for years now... even though he doesn't really have much character, but for me, I kinda like blank characters like Link.

 

[nirvanafan]

My top 5

1. Corrin
2. Cloud
3. Chrom
4. Ike
5. Link

 

[Christian_CAO]

All of you failed to realize the unlimited popopotential that is

He can copy the sword skills of all the other anime swashbuckling protags
and look adorable whilst doing it.

Clearly he's the superior Swordsman in Smash, no debating.

 

[Kevandre]

Not sure if counts but I'm p sure he does.

 

[Syntherios]

ROY'S MY BOY

 

[Robin Lucina]

Robin & Lucina

 

[Parallelo]

Isaac

But of the playable characters its gotta be Roy.

 

[CardiganBoy]

I thought Sakurai was clear on no Manga/Anime characters.

 

[rlwrgh]

I like ike

 

[BonafideFella]

Pshaw, there is but one option...

Which is?

Either Shulk or Cloud for me, can't decide

I've changed my mind it's the potatowedgehog

 

[Madwario]

The only anime young boy character who i dont find bland or a waste of rosterspot is Roy.

His design is really good, his armor is blue and awesome, and i like his red cape. His swordattack packs power and goes fullflame when hes all powered up. His whole design makes me think about those classic late 80s-early 90s anime sword heroes you saw on covers, this is why i think he fits on the roster well.

The rest, oh boy. Id rather have the third-party characters Heihachi Mishima, Akuma and Yoshimitsu over Robin, Lucina and Corrin.. Or maybe the Contra duo and James Bond from Nintendo 64 Classic on the roster..
