El Cid
Smash Cadet
When I first started playing as Lucina, I thought she was far stronger than Marth because her fsmash seemed to be able to KO at the same percentage as Marth without having to tip. Later I discovered that Smash attacks have generally gotten better since Brawl, and also that Marth's and Lucina's fsmash are almost exactly the same (they both KO Mario at the same percentage, except Marth can KO earlier with the tip).
That kinda bugged me because I like Lucina a lot more than Marth (if you ever play Shadow Dragon, you will learn Marth is extremely boring as a character), but I kept trying to find differences. For one thing, Lucina's Counter seems to be stronger and her Dolphin Slash is weaker (I don't know about Dancing Blade). Her sword is shorter than Marth's and of course it can't tip; the Shield Breaker seems to break shields easier. Also she's slightly shorter than Marth, but not enough for it to make a huge difference. The final thing which really surprised me is that she is more durable than Marth. I used Mario's fsmash on Marth at 90% in the center of the stage, and he died, but when used on Lucina at the same spot and percentage, she survived. I actually expected the reverse to be true, for her attacks to be stronger but not being as durable.
What else has everyone noticed that's different about her?
