More popular than Zelda, hm? Well, okay then.
I still think 3 is the maximum. I assume that Sakurai will want to include more singular unique characters instead of increasing the representation of already present franchises.

Incidentally, Lyndis for Brawl, I guess?
I am against three Fire Emblem characters being the maximum. Three is an unrealistically low number. Four and five are the most realistic numbers, six if you are lucky. If I will reject Brawl if Fire Emblem is represented with less than four characters. I want Sakurai to increase the representation of all already present franchises anyway, not leave the representations the way they are.

More popular than Zelda in Japan? Proof please. From what I've heard on FESS and the like, Fire Emblems popularity(sales) has sunk tremendeously since FE6. And before that time, Zelda outright squashed it. Sure, FE9 has the most sales of the international games, but FE6 had more than that in Japan, from what I've gathered.

The most likely four is Marth, Sigurd, Lyndis, and Ike

Marth, Ike and Sigurd... agreed. Lyndis? I doubt it. If there is a female swordfighter in SSBB it will propably be Mia. She had the luxury of being in the most popular international game, and to appear on the poll. Plus she's been in 2 games... Sure, she isn't a lord, but Lyndis is very unlikely to get in before Mia. Lyn was hated in Japan.

I support this character, I was toying with the idea, myself:

I know it's kind of late in the cycle to be suggesting characters, but I've been thinking with the advent of the 'unnamed' Pokemon Trainer, there could be a Similar "Fire Emblem Tactician". Much like the Trainer, it would be a rotation of 3 Fire Emblem classes: I'm not completely sure yet which, but I'm leaning toward an axe user, a magic user, and a lance user(I'm avoiding sword users because they're are so many already), and for a final smash, they'd go to they're "upgraded" status. This would be a boon to characters that aren't 'good enough on their own' and let us see some of our faves not being assist trophies, heh

I'm no expert on move sets, but here goes:

(Forward B or B): Standard fire emblem attack animation, can be charged, has a chance to "crit" for longer distance, improved power, and animation(5% uncharged, 10% charged?)

(Forward B or B): switch weapon or magic, this sounds kind of ambitious, but weapon/magic choice is critical in Fire Emblem, and if we can't have completely 'seperate weapons/magic' we could probably end up with one of the more unique weapons/magic this way:

Javelins(range toss), Light sword(ranged sword), Battle axe(unblockable blow), Bolting(Far reaching Lightning magic), etc.

the only thing I can come up with for a recovery(Up+b) is:

Teleport(kinda bland)
or Wyvern/pegasus assist(They swoop down with weapons out, dropping you off at the end of the attack, giving you a slight boost vertically and horizontally)

Down B is switch, bland but necessary

well, let me know what you think and don't flame(too) hard!

My guess on lineup:

Sigurd was probably the original newcomer choice for Brawl. However, Ike did better on the poll, is pretty similar, and more recent. So if Sigurd had a spot, Ike and his Ragnell took it.

The 3rd and 4th FE spots (I'm assuming 4-5 characters due to its rising popularity in America, and already strong popularity in Japan) will probably be 1 Magic user (We have 4 big contenders) and 1 more physical fighter. The physical fighter will probably, and sadly, use a sword. Not due to a Sword fetish but merely a fact of the games. Most of the cast use swords, and most of the main cast use swords.

Now, of the Magic users we have 4 main contenders (Soren, Sanaki, Micaiah, and Celice). Three are from FE9/10, but I have a reason for listing 3 from there. Soren is Ike's right hand man, and of the non-Lords in 9/10, has the most screentime. Sanaki and Micaiah are both Lords in their own right for 10, and Celice is FE2's Lord, and while least likely of the magic users listed, is still worth noting.

Personally, as long as we get some female cast from FE, and they are cute, I'll be happy. I still want one of the many femme Swordmasters in the cast.
