Does the appearance of Ike, pretty much ruin Marth and Roy's chances?
Why replace a character with another character?

Ike is different from Marth, so why replace a unique character with another unique character?

There's more than enough room for both.

I can't see why everyone just wants 1 Fire Emblem character in the game. Why not have more?

I picked marth since Ike is already confirmed. I'd rather want him over BK (seriously an acronym named after a fast food restaurant)

I could definitely see how Marth and Ike could BOTH be in this game, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if Marth didn't make the cut now....

That sounds awsome on several different levels.

I also think that Marth should get a custom outfit just as Fox did.

I always wondered what Marth would look like with long hair. Would he look even more feminin?

Is that possible XD

I dunno though, I liked Marth's look in melee, tiara and all. I'm not too sure what they could give him, unless they give him the Fire Emblem itself.

Wait, wasn't the Fire Emblem a shield. That would make him broken. So much for lasers and needles, I'll just block them with my Legendary Shield.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ike actually replaced Marth and that he is the only FE character playable.
That would be pretty tragic, since the series is filled with awesome characters that would be perfect in Brawl, but I'd be lying if I were to say that it wasn't a possibilty.

I agree that Marth and Roy are most likely gone, but I hope to see at least one other FE newcomer. *cough* Black Knight *cough*

God, people, shut the **** up about Ike's coolness for once. For the love of God, think of their playing styles. There is no non-awkward way that Ike would be an effective clone of Marth. He's way too bulky and his sword is way to big. The thing about Marth is that he's quick and effective. Ike looks like he would be Captain Falcon-esque, and a really fast faller.

Ikes actually fast tho... But you do got a point Ike is my favorite and all he looks cool..... but dont lay marth out just yet. Dont forget that symbol is the falcion even go play melee pause it zoom in and the picture is looks exactly the same as marths sword. Sakurai atleast need 2 characters for each popular franchaise. Dont even say DK should have more then him because 1.I dont think that Dk is actually getting any popular anymore which is sad and 2. Hes games thats been comming out been uh average fun factor so yeah.... Hope i said something intelligent

I don't see why Marth would be removed.

1) He's popular and was not a clone,
2) His sword is the Fire Emblem logo,
3) He and Ike are as different in origins and styles as they would be in fighting, and Ike would make a great addition for those who would prefer a powerful, heavy character as opposed to Marth. To not have the option of speed or strength, grace or fierce, would be silly. Variety is what Smash Bros. emphasizes most.
4) Marth was the one who started it all. If it weren't for his game we wouldn't have had Ike.
5)To add to that, if it weren't for Marth, Fire Emblem could have still been just a Japan-only series. It was he(and Roy) who got international eyes looking.

As cool as Ike is, as a Marth player I would be very upset if the feminine swordfighter wasn't around.

Quoted for Justice.

Another fellow Marth player.*high fives*

Thank you for bringing something to the table.

If anyone, the one that's getting the axe is Roy.

Not only does Ike look more like a man than Marth (who looks somewhat on the pansy side XD), but he is in an International title of Fire Emblem, one which people all over the world can see and use (personally, I don't play them, but whoever does can go on ahead XD). Doesn't Marth only appear in a Japanese Title of Fire Emblem?

Besides, we can actually play his game unlike Marth's.
What difference does that make??

The first one. He's like black mage to Final Fantasy. He's not just some random character picked out from the series.

What's the point in using a character if you can't play their game? Its like you're cheating yourself out of an experience. Its fun using a character in Smash whos game I have played before. That way I know why they are in the game in the first place. Not to mention how neat it is to pick out which moves came from which games.

Whether you can play it or not makes no difference.

Whatever thread I look in, you are my hero. Like the Viewtifull_Jeff thread...Lol..


That's a good point right there too. I also don't see people play Ice Climber games..Oh, and what about Pit? Do you still play his games?

My guess is people hate Marth because they get tipped too much..xD So what if he looks like a pansy? Hes frikin fast...

Sheik players love to complain about Marth, yet they play with Sheik.

Alot of the people here probably never been to a tournament.

Don't throw that creativity crap at me, Marth is a creative character considering he's the ONLY light swordsman.

But all of his moves are one sword swipe. Creative? What are you? Stupid?

Seriously kid, all you ever want to do is argue with people. Saying Marth is more creative than Mr. Game and Watch is just ignorant. Are you really that blind?

If I'm not mistaking, doesn't he have a CLONE? Yeah real creative, so creative they made another version of him. Why... why do you always do this to people?
