Awesome! Looking forward to checking it out and participating in said thread. ^_^Done, its posted.
On another note, I have only beaten classic on 7.0 D: Do you guys use equipment/customs to defeat the higher levels?
Hahaha! XD Well I just searched for crying anime gifs and that Pikachu gif was one of the first to pop up so I choose that. I didn't realize it was so popular.I KNEW THAT GIF WAS COMING
literally anyone uses it as their sad gif lol.
Since it's Samus, I can stay away and shoot missiles when he's attacking, and go in and use whatever multi-hit move I have when he's recovering.Too pro. Advice?
Here and on Robin's forum that's the go-to cry gif.Hahaha! XD Well I just searched for crying anime gifs and that Pikachu gif was one of the first to pop up so I choose that. I didn't realize it was so popular.
Highest I've beaten is 6.5 with Robin. I've made it on a few 9.0 runs to Master Core, but it always ends there. I usually go plain, but I'm trying out customs/equips to see if it makes a difference.Done, its posted.

Counters were SUPER helpful against Master Core when using Lucina, at least that's how I feel. However, timing is everything but I believe one of her custom down b moves is a longer version of the counter just with a weaker attack. It still should prove very useful nevertheless.Since it's Samus, I can stay away and shoot missiles when he's attacking, and go in and use whatever multi-hit move I have when he's recovering.
As for Lucina, what about counters? They help against all bosses.

<3 Thank you.@ Locuan Can I just say how much I LOVE your signature! HD Lucina in front of a black hole just looks so freaking cool! <3
Just thought I'd let you know! ^_^
<3 Thank you.
That actually seems like a great idea. Seeing as we are all fans of the same game and it means more people to meet! You get a +1 from me if you decide to go ahead and do that.I've considered the idea of having a Fire Emblem general/social thats shared between the four boards, but it genuinely is very redundant when we have entire sections dedicated to video and other nintendo games with threads for them too.
I think I should give Marth another chance. I dismissed him to quickly. What would you say are his biggest differences from previous games/Lucina?The Marth / Lucina coalition thread is more focused for the competitive discussion aspects of both characters. Don't be afraid of the Marth mains there (like myself) being a little lazy by saying Marth instead of Marth+Lucina (I try to use M/L more often now), most things apply to both of us and we can help each other learn and understand our characters better.
Tipper, tipper, tipper, basically.I think I should give Marth another chance. I dismissed him to quickly. What would you say are his biggest differences from previous games/Lucina?
Off-topic, as in not pertaining to Lucina specifically in Smash.The conversation here has been pretty good.
Sorry if its super obvious but what do you mean by OT?
I'm of the same mindset as well. Having more people to meet is always fun and exciting, especially when you all love the same game! ^_^ Although, I will admit, I do so enjoy having a thread dedicated to talking about all things Lucina, be it in Fire Emblem: Awakening or Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS. I don't have any attachment to Marth or Ike so I might feel rather "out of place" so to speak if the topic were to go into them and they're respective games. I'm very much solely an Awakening fan, especially with Robin and Lucina, and I've never really cared for those two characters to be perfectly honest....well except for Ike in Smash Bros Brawl.That actually seems like a great idea.

I'm this way as well. My familiarity with Marth and Ike solely involves SSB and maybe their "cameos" in Awakening. I feel more comfortable discussing Robin or Lucina because I have played their game. It's the same reason I'd be more comfortable in a Lucas thread than a Ness one- I've played a bit of EB, but I've beat Mother 3 several times.I'm of the same mindset as well.

It's always good to open minded to different characters, however, I enjoy Lucina better just because I prefer her character over Marth and as silly as it sounds, that's the deciding factor in why I choose her over Marth, even if he is perhaps better in some ways. But kudos to you for branching out and wanting to try him out again. I can deeply respect that.

The thing is I was used to Marth's non tipper stuff to lead to consistent combos or strings in Melee. In this game, it just seemed like I could not get anything going. I might have just been thinking of things in Melee terms and that severely handicapped me. I will try him out and see what I can do. Lucina on the other hand felt more secure and stronger at the end of the day.It's always good to open minded to different characters, however, I enjoy Lucina better just because I prefer her character over Marth and as silly as it sounds, that's the deciding factor in why I choose her over Marth, even if he is perhaps better in some ways.

I do not care what anyone else says Metroid Fusion is the best Metroid ever! ... Play that one first......... <3It's also the reason I haven't been to the ZSS board despite her being my co-main more or less- I've never played any Metroid games (I might now that I love ZSS, but I generally stink at Platforming-type games).
It is a good idea, but it is redundant when we have things already out there to cover it (why have a thread shared between 4 boards to talk about Fire Emblem when you could just... go to the Nintenzone section of our website!). At some point I'll be attacking the Robin boards with the same rhetoric, but as of right now I'm the main active mod here I believe, I thought it was very much worthwhile to shake up players out of this pre-game mindset~That actually seems like a great idea. Seeing as we are all fans of the same game and it means more people to meet! You get a +1 from me if you decide to go ahead and do that.
Really? That's interesting, I would never think of using u-smash much based on previous games.Up Smash in this game is likely our best/consistent killer, and Lucina's is definitely stronger.
Will keep that in mind if and when I go looking for Metroid games to play. I might give one a shot just to get familiar with Samus's source material.The thing is I was used to Marth's non tipper stuff to lead to consistent combos or strings in Melee.

Ike's are the ones I want to play the most because I've heard good things about them (and some of the characters I've seen have caught my interest), but they're just so hard to get a hold of. Shame they haven't rereleased them somehow, but I guess it's too early to rerelease Gamecube games.Not being familiar with Ike's games is understandable if you didn't get them at launch, they cost an arm and a leg these days. Path of Radiance is definitely worth a look if you ever come across it though.
Marth's games besides FE12 are meh. My advice, avoid Shadow Dragon unless you're a completionist. FE12 (the Japan-only DS one) on the other hand is my second-favourite FE behind Awakening.
Really? That's interesting, I would never think of using u-smash much based on previous games.
ZSS is sort of the exception to my rule for choosing characters. While I've only played a little bit of Metroid Fusion and never touched Metroid Zero Mission, I love how ZSS looks aesthetically and that's something I look for when choosing a character to main in Smash Bros. I'm still not sure if I want to put her along with Robin, Lucina and Shulk as my mains but perhaps a secondary main, although that sounds odd when I got three mains haha! XD Whatever.It's also the reason I haven't been to the ZSS board despite her being my co-main more or less- I've never played any Metroid games (I might now that I love ZSS, but I generally stink at Platforming-type games).
Yeah, that's general what I've been hearing when it comes to Marth players choosing to switch from him to Lucina.The thing is I was used to Marth's non tipper stuff to lead to consistent combos or strings in Melee.

Feet hidden disjoints are broken! Like, I'm killing people with that move at around 100%, it does a good amount of damage, is fast out of shield.Really? That's interesting, I would never think of using u-smash much based on previous games.
Shulk's another one I really want to play the game for, being in my circle of mains, but like Ike, he suffers from the "my game will cost you everything" disease. Maybe they'll reissue it now with Shulk advertising it in SSB.ZSS is sort of the exception to my rule for choosing characters.

It's pretty solid. I'm not sure if Lucina's functions the same off hand, but the side hitboxes on Marth's now knock the opponent into the sword sourspot hitboxes. You get ~16 damage and moderate knockback even if you sourspot. It's a really nice change. I do know that Lucina's is also extremely effective, I'm just not sure if the side hitboxes share that particular property or if they just pop you up like her sword hitboxes.Not being familiar with Ike's games is understandable if you didn't get them at launch, they cost an arm and a leg these days.

Marth/Lucina just aren't combo characters in this game. And Marth still gets a lot out of untippered hits. The main disparity really is how well you deal with sub 40% as Marth, as untippered attacks can be punished by opponents on hit :<. Otherwise skills in spacing, which are still extremely important on Lucina to achieve success will reward you more playing as Marth.The thing is I was used to Marth's non tipper stuff to lead to consistent combos or strings in Melee.

Yep the hit-box extends outside of the sword to both left and right areas.Really? That's interesting, I would never think of using u-smash much based on previous games.
Don't forget punishing those jumping edge recoveries... those feel so good... *drools*Feet hidden disjoints are broken! Like, I'm killing people with that move at around 100%, it does a good amount of damage, is fast out of shield.
Beats spot dodges and rolls and **** because of the length of time the hitboxes stay out for.
Yea, I did not play much of Brawl Marth. I definitely have the incorrect mindset regarding him in this game. I will have to adapt in order to be successful with him.I play M/L in this similar to how I do so in Brawl. Mid-range zoning and playing as reactively as possible. Full hop forward air is a key staple to Marth, and is very very simple/easy to achieve tippered hitboxes with, which is how I'm mostly dancing around when dealing with the sub-40% hijinx.
Nice. Those roll-spammers in For Glory are getting a bit annoying, I'll have to try this out tomorrow.Feet hidden disjoints are broken! Like, I'm killing people with that move at around 100%, it does a good amount of damage, is fast out of shield.

They've announced a port for the New 3DS I believe, hopefully it reaches you guys a bit more promptly than the Wii original did.Shulk's another one I really want to play the game for, being in my circle of mains, but like Ike, he suffers from the "my game will cost you everything" disease. Maybe they'll reissue it now with Shulk advertising it in SSB.
Duck Hunt... Well, I've never played his game, but he's not exactly a character you need to know much more about to truly grasp.
They did reprint it, think it's still available at Gamestop but not sure. They are remaking it for that new 3DS though.Shulk's another one I really want to play the game for, being in my circle of mains, but like Ike, he suffers from the "my game will cost you everything" disease.

I was going to wait for the next Pokémon generation for the New 3DS, but if this happens, I might jump on it sooner. Even if I can't get it ASAP, maybe they'll have it in its eShop- that's how I've gotten a lot of the non-Mario/Zelda/Pokémon/biggest name franchise games.Nice. Those roll-spammers in For Glory are getting a bit annoying, I'll have to try this out tomorrow.

that is all
that range o.OIn the image below I approximate the range, give or take a few pixels.
Oh yes. Jaja, I have been playing Mac too and one of the first things I learned was not to counter close to the edge. If not, insta-death.that range o.O
why did I not know of this before now
I can already picture the rows of Macs I'm going to catch out with this
speaking of Macs
Really, a careless Mac on edges is a dead Mac. I've had more than a few commit suicide by lunge attack. It's hilarious.that range o.O
why did I not know of this before now
I can already picture the rows of Macs I'm going to catch out with this
speaking of Macs, I got this guy earlier today
this is why you don't abuse Slip Counter near ledges
My one fear with that is trying to mix the talk from the four boards (or at least this thread and the Robin thead) might cause "pairing wars" to break out, or otherwise one group dominate the other and just take over the thread over all.Off-topic, as in not pertaining to Lucina specifically in Smash.
And I think a joint social for the four boards is a decent idea. I haven't been on the Marth/Ike boards much, but in the Robin board, the actual FE series comes up a bit as well.
I need to give Marth another chance. He was one of my best characters in Melee/Brawl, but I feel way better with Lucina in SSB4 so far. Marth was the first one I beat Classic with, however, and on a decent difficulty.
To be fair, if it becomes a problem would probably could just go make an "Lucina FE:A" thread over in that section on the forums. That might be the best way to solve it honestly, split the thread to those two topics. I am in agreement Syrek where while I am totally open to the idea a joint thread, I kinda like having the more Lucina centric thread for the more off topic stuff as its own thing, even if we have to split it off from this one.It is a good idea, but it is redundant when we have things already out there to cover it (why have a thread shared between 4 boards to talk about Fire Emblem when you could just... go to the Nintenzone section of our website!).

I really didn't like the idea of having this board be the casual/newb version of the Marth boards. I think that's a little silly, but it could ultimately lead that way if we don't get a sense of community/ambition to improve.
True, sadly. Years of seeing Pokémon shipping wars break out over silly things (especially for a franchise that will likely never have many canon or even hinted pairings) has made me lax towards pretty much any pairing aside from the obvious disgusting ones, but with a game like Awakening where shipping is an in-game mechanic, it's sadly going to be even worse. Which is a shame, because while pairing is the big mechanic in the game, there's still more to it, like the platonic supports. I like some of those more than a lot of the romantic ones, like Sumia's with F!Robin, Tiki's with F!Robin, Basilio's with Flavia (since they can't S-Support), Owain's with M!Morgan, and Lucina's with non-sibling Cynthia.My one fear with that is trying to mix the talk from the four boards (or at least this thread and the Robin thead) might cause "pairing wars" to break out, or otherwise one group dominate the other and just take over the thread over all.
