Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, but with Brawl we never know.

I'm pretty sure right before Melee, no one knew about wavedashing and half the other stuff used today :p

Marth > Ike

because much like his sword, his sweet spot is at the tip~
I'm tempted to draw out the naughty joke that lies in wait in this post. But I can't come up with anything good.

I guess the post does it for itself.

How about Ike, Marth and Black Knight for Brawl? :D

You get annoyed hearing how every fanboy likes Ike better because he looks "Manlier". Who cares.

Chances are, Ike is gonna play like Roy, stat wise, but with different attack techs. How do I figure this? He's using a Two handed sword in one hand, similar to Roy. And in his description, he's depicted power, rather than speed. So Ike qualifies as a great replacement to Roy.

Granted, that doesn't mean Marth should be removed. Brawl can easily have 3 FE characters, and why not the original hero of Fire Emblem, the new hero of the most recent 3D FE game, Ike, and his nemesis, the Black Knight.

As many stated before, Smash Bros is a fan service, and Marth being the most wanted character of Melee can still go on for another Smash.

I'm not gonna argue with anyone, cause it gets irritating hearing how everyone and their mother wants to remove chars like Sheik and Marth because they're not up to snuff in their eyes.

If they have to put ANY Fire Emblem Nemesis in, it has to be that of the ORIGINAL hero. He has been in two games as a star after all, was the first Fire Emblem hero in Smash and he's got a title coming out on the V.C. (Sometime soon) If they do replace Roy (Which I desperately hope they don't) then they should use on of Marth's enemies. Yes he was Japan only but that didn't stop him from being popular in Europe or the States so why now?

I think Ike is going to be a heavy character cause it says something about "This time around heavy people have these moves" something like that.. Is being a heavy person is good if not i fear the most for ike....

If youre talking to me then my answer is nah. Im assuming he's just a heavy person but iunno if heavy people are good. in smashbros.com it said "This time, there are several moves like this among the heavy characters, so watch out!" thats what it says when ike used Aether >_> Are heavy people usually slow?

Samus isnt too slow if u wavedash. she is the one with the superwavedash i mean. as for DK and Bowser...yea. plus wut Sakurai sed made me think too. i guess he is heavy.
n jus to say, since Aether is now Ike's UpB, it sound like your an UpB pansey for some reason (your name). haha jk dude

Well, he didn't say he was heavy. He just said that heavy characters would have attacks that protect them from flinching. He never said Ike was heavy. And if you consider Aether's speed in FE9, it'd be a bit strange to give one really fast attack to a slow character.

Also, from our concepts at least, heavy is completely different from slow, right? Heavy = someone who doesn't fly much; Slow = one that has a lot of lag in one's moves, right?

Nevertheless, this flinch protection is gonna make slow characters more competitive, so we have no worries.

whoever thot Ikes Final Smash was gonna be Aether just got pwnd! (i thot it would but didnt expect it to be...)
This bolded part makes no sense to me. It contradicts itself.

I might actually like Ike. Never cared for Marth, but Ike seems cool so far.

Hmm, I think with this today's update on Ike's new moves just might have increased Marth's chances a little, since Ike would NOT be considered a Marth clone anymore. Any thoughts on this?

i meant i had a thought that Aether would be the FS but i didnt really expect it to be. i think that makes a little more sense...

Zelda is from the Zelda franchise. You know... the Legend of ZELDA series...

Fire Emblem is from the Fire Emblem series. This s*** is crazy. My point is, Zelda holds no connection to FE what-so-ever.

no see. wut i meant by mentioning Zelda is because he thought that Sakurai was done putting things up for FE, which would bring down chances of Marth being there. but if Sakurai was done with FE then i guess that means Zelda would have no FS because he hasnt put anything up from Zelda in a while.

I would think if they go with red hair blue hair characters as replacements for Marth n Roy.
My money is on Ike inheriting marth's strengths and replacing the weaknesses with his own moves.
And Eliwood(Roy's Dad) to do the same for Roy.
Maybe even throw in Hector for some big man action.

Yeah thats what i ment when i was worried. i think im thinking of it to much about marth's chances of being in the game. But you got me thinking about zelda not having a fs cuz if they already finished links fs b4 they brought zelda in they brought her in while link finished all his introduction attacks. which means Marth still has a chance. Well that eased my mind about marth

they should both be in, but they should really make all the FE characters somewhat different, so that all the main FE characters can be in. however, if i have to vote 1, i have to say Marth. Path of Radiance was just not as good as other, 2D fire emblem games.

(Voting for which you'd rather see in Brawl, as if this were a mystery)
It's ridiculously easy to predict Marth is out, and a possibility that Ephraim and Ike take the Fire Emblem Stance in SSBB.

Right.... Ephraim... if there are new FE characters instead of Marth it would be BK And/Or Sigurd.

I've never played Marth or ROy because I don't understand Japanese, so I might be a bit biased but especially at the guy who decides to put japanese characters in a game which would be released to America. Remind me who Sigurd was. BK should be let in no doubt. Perfect for Space Emissary Ike VS BK.

I don't know who is Sigurd, and i don't like him, but it seems he's very popular around Japan and has been on polls, etc etc.

Other than that, i know nothing about him, and he looks similar to marth so he might replace him.

And what you sayd about the Black Knight... Exactly.
