Lucina Thread [Closing]

[Pacack]

Also, I may end up being a Lucina main if she feels better than Marth to me. I mean, Pac-Man has priority, but I love me my Aerials on Marth. Definitely a possible co-main.

 

[Autumn ♫]

<--- I am officially supporting both Lucina and Robin!
....they're so cute together. <3

Well, I was planning on having Robin marry Lucina in my newest file in Awakening.

xD hahaha. I would of married Lucina if MU wasn't a female. I was thinking of doing the same thing myself, especially now.

 

[Sayjin]

OTP!!! Allows for drama, humor, and an absurdly overpowered Morgan!!!

Plus, plotwise, it makes sense with the whole "change the future" thing. Haven't played Future of Despair yet (or whatever it's called, I know something is called that) so not sure how Morgan would work there with this pairing. I keep starting over to try and optimize pairings to my liking and end up getting bored/wanting new combinations before I finish, so I haven't gotten around to those maps or Apotheosis yet.

So far, as far as Avatar goes, I've done Robin x Lucina (first run), Robin x Chrom (second run), don't recall my third run, and currently on my fourth run with a preliminary aim of Robin x Lissa (since I want Owain with Armsthrift, and don't like the only two options that grant that outside of Robin).

 

[Xavier :D]

Yeah, I can see myself maining Lucina, since Marth seems to be nerfed.

I'm not sure about how Morgan exists in the Days of Future Past DLC, but the theory I've seen floating around is... really dark. I prefer to think it was time travel.

 

[Sayjin]

Yeah, I figured squick was involved to not break established lore, but it'd also have to involve some weird further time travel/alternate world stuff to work. That or some sort of homunculus accelerated aging.

 

[JesseMcCloud]

I can actually breathe easy now ...

It's over guys. It's over for me. I'm done here Now all I have to do is wait until December for a game that can no longer let me down. Mechanics be damned.

First off, props for getting the Wii U version.
Secondly, after the initial hype died down for me, my next thought was, "Lordling probably just fainted right now, wherever s/he is."
So happy for you, buddy.

Yeah, I hope Time Travel is involved. I also think Morgan ends up escaping to the main story, and trips and falls on a rock or something, which explains the amnesia. And causes Morgan to abuse fall in love with Yarne.

 

[Starcutter]

Liked marth, I'll give her a shot, why not.

more interested in robin though.

 

[XenothiumX]

if Captain Falcon isn't as bad in this game as he was in Brawl. Then maybe... it also depends on the other possible newcomers we get.

 

[Neo Zero]

I love that shes a newcomer. Not going to commit to her, but she's in that top tier would main tier for me.

 

[RSF-Blue bomber]

Was wondering when this would pop up. Great spoiler free title btw.

Anyway, if she wasn't so damn similar to Marth I wouldn't mind seeing her. Even though she's more popular than Chrom, I'd say he still had the better chance. Who knows, maybe she'll be an alt costume (though Marth has plenty of different outfits to work with already -- he's too fabulous to be stuck with one look )

I think she's a Marth alt costume nothing more

 

[Robertman2]

Please tell me your trolling. Please.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

For those thinking she's an alt costume:

http://imgur.com/mBUthhC

The only reason she doesn't have a image is because she's on Robins already.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

Sakurai has spoken of characters that were alts before, but none of them have received their own portrait on the main site. This is not the case.

 

[Reginleif]

I'm still wondering why she's the only newcomer with the question mark. WHAT'S WITH THIS SPECIAL STAR TREATMENT

 

[Robertman2]

I love that hero image so much.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

I honestly think it's because of the "WHAT!?" reaction everyone probably got. Besides, it suited the occasion that Lucina was in at the time.

 

[N3ON]

If she was an alt I very very much doubt she'd get her own character page and treatment on par with all the other actual characters.

She'd probably just get an update pic or something.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

She wouldn't have gotten that absolutely beautiful render either.

 

[Reginleif]

DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[BertEast]

I don't have a screenshot of my response, but it went a little something like this: YEYEYSSSSSSFSJNJFNSDJKGN LUCCINAAN ANANANAaaaa

 

[fenyx4]

I'm sorry, but the face she made in the trailer

Spoiler

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks it looks a bit odd? It's only a taunt, so it's not a problem, but still.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that; it looks like it would fit the trope of Dull Surprise (or maybe a similar facial trope) perfectly..

Also, just mentioning that @ Reginleif 's signature looks really fitting for Lucina supporters..

 

[Robertman2]

My reaction was "Lucina is love, Lucina is life."

 

[Plain Yogurt]

From a fanmade model, a lot of these skins could be potentially look good. They're based off other characters in the series.

Yooooo I would play Mia Lucina so fast.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Congrats. I figured she'd get into the game whether in the initial release or DLC. Tough break with her being a clone/semiclone though but it's still a lot better than her being an assist trophy.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

NO ONE CARES IF SHE'S A CLONE

IT'S MARTH BUT SOMEONE I LIKE

BESIDES THEY PROBABLY ONLY SHOWED OFF MOVES THAT ARE SIMILAR OR THE SAME, IM SURE SHE'S NOT A COMPLETE RIP OFF

IT MAKES MORE SENSE SEEING AS SHE IDOLIZES MARTH ANYWAY

 

[Reginleif]

Honestly Lucina's 3D looks kinda imperfect when compared to Robin/Ike/Marth I thought it was from Project M.

NAH DUDE SHE IDOLIZES HER FATHER, MARTH WAS JUST A DISGUISE TO GIVE PEOPLE HOPE IN HER FUTURE.
AND THEN EVENTUALLY TO DISGUISE HERSELF IN THE PRESENT

 

[Jakario]

Really hope that she is not a clone but so far we have seen that her up B and side B are the same as Marth's. If she is like the other swordsmen her down B may be counter. Hope Sakurai surprises us!

Hoping for summoning Naga as the final smash since we did not get Grima ;/

 

[Hong]

Why Robin had (besides the Villager) the best trailer:

Don't like Robin? Okay, fine. Here's Captain ****ing Falcon and probably the best Fire Emblem lead.

Edit - Oh, and the part where Robin casually crashed the leak and tells us "It's going to be alright."

 

[KuroganeHammer]

She has counter too.

SURPRISE!

 

[andimidna]

I wish I could have been here for the initial hype. I don't even care if she's a clone. IT'S LUCINA. IT'S AUTOMATICALLY AWESOME ANYWAYS.

 

[HeavyLobster]

Right now it's between her, Puff, and Megaman. Maybe Ganondorf if he gets reworked.

 

[B!ggad]

I just love this. Characters like Lucina are necessary for Smash and spice up the roster a bit.

Maybe I'm still just biased from months of going with the Gematsu leak, but they aren't by all means what people would consider the biggest guns out there and you wouldn't get your hopes up to get them but they're out there and fans put them on the map still.

And then Sakurai probably saw the opportunity to put her in as a clone, as it even should be canonically, with relatively little effort and in return make a "small" fan base very happy because why wouldn't you.
The cost:reward ratio should have made this an easy decision.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

It's a beautiful day. Our girl has been confirmed playable!

 

[CommanderRin]

My reaction was "Lucina is love, Lucina is life."

I was only 16 years old, I loved Lucina so much.

I had her game and merchandise... I prayed to Lucina every night before bed, thanking her for the life I'd been given.

Lucina is love, I say, Lucina is life.

 

[Fastblade5035]

Let's take a break from fierce clone debates.

We now have four Fire Emblem characters;
/
If locked characters are returning, surely not all of them are available at the beginning.

I believe that is prime lock material. She's a clone, and Roy was unlockable, as well as other clones.

What do you think?
