Smash Master
I think this might be the best place to put this, what with Lucina's fans floating around here, probably a bit safer from the heavily anti-FE crowd.
I was thinking in the "If you were in charge of Smash 5's roster" thread, I didn't like the thought of cutting characters NOR did I like the idea of alternate characters. I think characters should feel like they belong in Smash. Yes, this includes Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, Alph, and Lucina (not the Koopalings, they are fine as they are). So attempting to think of ways to make the clones different, I initially had a lot of trouble thinking of unique things for Lucina when it hit me:
In Fire Emblem Awakening, Chrom and Lucina could promote their Lord class to become Great Lords. Both of them gain a shield to go along with their Flachion. Chrom obtains the Fire Emblem (or a very large one at that) and Lucina has a shield made in the same design as her mask, see below:
How would you feel about Lucina becoming a Great Lord in Smash 5? Using her sword and newfound shield, she could be a cross between and rather than just a very very slightly different . Being a hyper fast sword and shield user without the gimmicky gadgets of Link, this would open up Lucina to use her shield in combat like shield bashes, side swipes, or even throwing it Captain America style. Imagine a being a shield bash that, if charged up, could be used to stun the character like a shorter shield break? Or possibly tossing her shield, though that may be too much like Link's boomerang. Heck, for good measure, make her next appearance in Smash utilize her Great Lord look just like how Ike and Roy used new looks in Smash 4.
What are your thoughts? Do you think people would like Lucina more (or hate Lucina less) if she had a new moveset like this (or at least a fusion of Link and Marth) rather than being a nigh perfect clone? Or FE characters in general? Do you think Sakurai would consider this?
