Maybe insulting was an extreme word but it feels like there is more discussion as to why Chrom shouldn't be in as opposed to why Lucy should. There is also a lack of discussion of how Robin could affect her chances, since I don't think that there will be more than 3 Fire Emblem reps.

I really went in depth as to why Lucina should be a representative in many posts in this thread and in RTC. TBH I'm fine with Robin but I think the real battle of chances here is against Chrom due to the leak. I don't think FE will get more than 3. If it does, than that'll be a pleasant surprise.

Lucina

Chance — 65%
Want — 100%

Arguably the most favored out of the three main characters of Awakening, Lucina outclasses Chrom in numerous ways while Chrom has things working against him which will be discussed later on. Foremost, it is undeniable that Intelligent Systems favors Awakening's beloved heroine.

Let's begin with Lucina's prominence in Fire Emblem Awakening. Marketing-wise, Lucina is the face of the official Japanese Fire Emblem Awakening soundtrack and art book, has her own DLC dedicated to her backstory, and has her own figure in the works (the only other character having this being another one of Awakening's most popular females, Tharja). Masked Marth is plastered on Awakening's packaging and promotional images and shares equal prominence to Chrom.

Lucina has been hinted to be included in the Smash Bros. franchise somehow, considering her presence as an Amiibo icon. But at the very least, her Amiibo icon further suggests her favor over Chrom if used to represent FE's upcoming game for Wii U, SMTxFE. But perhaps a greater hint for the heroine is the confirmed map Arena Ferox, where Lucina is literally the boss at. Another point I turn to is the fact that Marth got nerf'd. If Lucina was in the game, I'd expect her to be the fastest FE representative. Chrom cannot hold this position due to having the same build as Marth and is seemingly more bulky. Chrom would have to be a Marth twin or sitting in the close gap between Marth and Ike.

Most importantly, Lucina brings to the table the much-needed female representation for the diverse world of Fire Emblem. Lyndis could have fulfilled the task but ended up as an assist trophy. No, Fire Emblem is not run by exclusively blue-haired swordsmen, which would be the message if the the roster was Chrom, Marth, and Ike. I doubt Sakuari or IS would allow this.

It would be an injustice to pick Chrom over Lucina for both SSB4 and Fire Emblem.​

To add to the IS' favouritism point, Lucina and Tharja have their own unique confession scenes, IS have stated that Lucina has survived through the very first concepts of the game which included concepts for a Fire Emblem game set on Mars, she appears in 3/4 of the audio dramas, she got two chapters in the official comic and she got two keychains.

FYI, Lucina's want score is now larger than Chrom's. Not that it matters at this point, but I just wanted you guys to know.

Actually, no they don't. For nearly every character in the game, the confession goes to a pink and bubbly background


It's different for Lucina and Tharja though. Lucina simply has blue sparkles appear, and Tharja has a green background instead of pink.

Where I came from, we got Sumia as a Capt. Falcon clone. It was the beginning of Sakurai's reign of terror throughout the world.

I am happy with just Marth and Ike... but I would be twice as happy if we have Lucina as well.

You got to give Fire Emblem credit, at least. Almost half of the games have had women in leading roles, if you don't count remakes.

She is very popular, internally with the developer and externally with fans. Won't be surprised if we see her as an Assist Trophy.
