Introducing Emblemboards

[Capybara Gaming]

WAIFUUUUU oh wait. Was fooled for a second. (Actually this is really good stuff)



Dude, calm down. And out of curiosity, what are your fandoms?



bruhhhhh there's a lot of unexplored territory with FE, but having a few more with more reps from other series in a smash5 would be cool.

Smash, TF2, Kingdom Hearts, My Little Pony, Undertale, Harry Potter, Avatar the Last Airbender...

I have a lot.

 

[Airboysteel]

Lol cool lovesl this

 

[Nick T]

Shaqboards was better

 

[Ashine]

I mean I guess

 

[Defensive Bias]

A shame this will only last today.

Also if I fight for my friends but I have no friends than what am I fighting for?

 

[DPKdebator]

My profile picture seems to have been changed to some long-haired redhead dude. This might be a silly April Fool's joke, but FE is personally the most over-represented seri-err, an enriching component of Smash.

 

[DairunCates]

Awwww Yeah... I'm apparently the only Boyd. Woo!

 

[Jiggly]

Could be worse...

Not really, any of the other FE characters would be better lol

 

[Arc Quilava]

Honestly the worst part about this is that most of this 100% accurate.

 

[TheHeroKing]

I hope this day never ends...

 

[Dastardly Ridleylash]

Why couldn't we have had Metroidboards, or something with class?

Hell, I got worst husbando as an avatar, this is a GREAT INJUSTICE; because obviously Lucina is best husbando.

 

[Red-White]

[Chicken_Fried_Ham]

[Michael4thewin]

Excuse me but can you please stop ripping off my style? It's super tacky, just ugh.

What a loser, I'm the REAL Selena. Not some...sorta-Selena

 

[TheHeroKing]

wait isnt this the game shulk is from

No you're thinking of Cloud and Captain Falcon. They're from the anime Fire Emblem: Heroes of Fire.

 

[zzmorg82]

I'm not amused.

 

[TTTTTsd]

I get the joke. I just hate this ****ing holiday and the poor excuse for a game they are forcing us all to wear as an avi for a day.

So do I ship the Marth amiibo now or later?

 

[MarthOfHyrule]

A Fire Emblem game with more Mario characters in it. Seems legit

OH MY ****ING GOD. I'm MY MIST UNFAVORITE VIDEO GAME CHARACTWR OF ALL TIME. **** YOU SMASHBOARDS

 

[Cool Trainer Ace]

I main a fire emblem character, so I'm cool with this. Just got that Roy amiibo.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Edit: Aw, I forgot how comment sections worked.

I'm too used to the forums.

 

[lordvaati]

Look at all these low-tier FE mains. Not one of them has truly reached 20KitsuneKitsune perfection.

When are we going to discuss how Selkie and Kaden dominate the current meta?

I nearly threw up from laughing so hard.

also alternate forum skin for Emblemboards mods? please?

 

[Pan-optic]

God dammit, I got Kagero... Any Selkie want to trade? OH! Or Ophelia?! That could be fun.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Yet again, Metroid gets shafted.

**** this ****.

 

[Nick T]

So did I

Btw, just wanna let whoever came up with and implemented this know that this is my first AFD on Smashboards and I love it, so props to you.

I would totally be ok if this became like a forum skin or something

Last year it was Shaqboards.

 

[Marakatu]

A shame this will only last today.

Also if I fight for my friends but I have no friends than what am I fighting for?

FOR GLORY

 

[TheHeroKing]

10% of SSB4 characters are Fire Emblem, yes. BUT, 4 Zelda newcomers were added to Melee and they're about 20% of Melee's roster. Mario has 7 characters which is also around the 25% area. So of Melee's 26, nearly half was Zelda and Mario but when it's them it's okay, right?

Yeah, because Mario and Zelda didn't need to resort to pandering to waifu-loving weeaboos just to stay alive. It's good when a franchise doesn't need to pander to a lowest common denominator just to continue existing; and those series are mainstays of gaming, so them being well-represented is a given. Plus that's 20-25% of a much smaller roster. 10% of 50 characters being FE is still too goddamn much, especially when other franchises (like DK, Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, etc.) are left with only one or two characters.

And Fire Emblem is NOT sucessful enough on the long term to deserve equal character representation to the worldwide phenomenon that is Pokemon. No ****ing way is that actually a logical thing to ever say.
Don't even ****ing try to use the percentage of Mario, Zelda and Pokemon reps as arguments that the FE franchise isn't over-represented. Corrin is not neccesary and is only a excuse to promote Fates. Lucina is a half-baked clone just to add more padding and promote a game that was doing well enough. And FE has 3 new characters, Metroid, Zelda and DK? ZERO new characters. FE's total cast in Smash is 6 characters, which only Mario and Pokemon rival or exceed.

 

[Schnee117]

Ah "muh reps"
The most insufferable argument in regards to characters in Smash.
