Do you believe that Marth and Roy should be in Brawl or no? I think they should be. Some people think they suck but I think that they just suck at playing them LOL

There ya go again xianfeng... passing off your half-***** assumptions as established fact... From what I've been able to gather, Roy actually seems to be fairly popular in Japan... For example, I did a Google image search in using the term ファイアーエムブレム (Fire Emblem's Japanese title) and Roy, along with several other FE6 characters, turn up quite prevalently. Try it for yourself if you don't believe me, though I must warn you that there is also quite a bit of poorly drawn pr0n...Marth will of course return he is Mr Fire Emblem, the first lord, lord of two games and pretty **** popular. Not to mention he is the original one.
Roy however is unpopular (as is his game) and sure he could be made better but there are way too many more deserving characters such as Ike, Sigurd and Micaiah just to name a few.
I invite you to put your thoughts in the "Sticky: Official "Who is going to return?" topic.Do you believe that Marth and Roy should be in Brawl or no? I think they should be. Some people think they suck but I think that they just suck at playing them LOL
Go here if dont feel searching --> http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=78528I'm getting tired of seeing a topic for every single character in Melee asking if they will return.
We've got absolutely NO idea who will return.
So I made this topic. Talk about who should return, and why.
Case and point. The precise reasons I support Ike replacing Marth. Besides, It's like a step in evolution going from one character to the next just as we're going from one game to the next.The two characters look very similar and would probably have nearly identical fighting styles. The one difference? Ike doesn't look like a girl.
Once upon a time, no one had heard of Fire Emblme anywhere but Japan. Now, thanks to the inclusion of Marth and Roy in Melee, the series is popular around the world. Hopefully Sakurai will realize that the series should be represented by characters who are popular on both sides of the Atlantic and not just Japan.
Ike should obviously replace Marth in Brawl. He was the main character in the latest (and arguably greatest) game so far in the series: Path of Radiance. Also, Sakurai's poll indicates he is not only the most popular Fire Emblem character, but one of the most popular characters period.

No, they shouldn't.i think marth and roy should be replaced by Ike and Hector.
That's because he's in SSBM, idiot. If alot of people are saying "I hope they get someone better then Roy from Fire Emblem to be in Brawl" his name would come up alot. That doesn't make him popular.Lord_Deathborne
For example, I did a Google image search in using the term ファイアーエムブレム (Fire Emblem's Japanese title) and Roy, along with several other FE6 characters, turn up quite prevalently.
You make some good points, but I remain unconvinced.Bah and crappery. The fact is that Marth represents Fire Emblem as a whole. You forget that thanks to SSBM, Marth IS popular on both sides of the atlantic. And as for Sakura's poll, guess who wasn't on it because he was already in Melee?
Marth was so popular, that he made the top of the most wanted list in Japan during the melee era and they were forced to include him in Brawl regardless of his lack of exposure to the west. Then, when we finally did take notice of him, he became so popular, that Japan brought Fire Emblem to North America. Even more impressive was the fact that the series sold so well over here.
And who do we have to thank? The top tier, long ranged, tiara wearing, blue haired original lord of the Fire Emblem series. Marth.
He's staying. Or he'd better be.
Marth has a fencing style, Ike has a rough course fighting style and a ranged sword NOTHING alike. Ike is muscular and tank (in FE10) and Marth is slim and slender they look NOTHING alike.The two characters look very similar and would probably have nearly identical fighting styles. The one difference? Ike doesn't look like a girl.
Yeah who cares that Marth is the most important Fire Emblem character EVER.Ike should obviously replace Marth in Brawl.
Most people say the greatest is either FE4 or FE7, FE9 is usually second, very few people have it as number one.He was the main character in the latest (and arguably greatest) game so far in the series: Path of Radiance.
Sigurd is a more popular Fire Emblem character than him and there are several characters more popular than him.Also, Sakurai's poll indicates he is not only the most popular Fire Emblem character, but one of the most popular characters period.
No it was in SSBM which came out a few months BEFORE FE6.Roy's first appearance was is FE 6
Idiot PoR was the 3rd FE game released outside of Japan.hes not popular in the U.S. because all the FE besides POR never came to the states.
WRONG! He's equally popular in Japan moron.1)IKE IS ONLY POPULAR IN THE US.
Roy's only ancestors that can be traced are Eliwood his dad, Elbert his Grandfather, Eleanora his Grandmother and Roland his great great great great (etc.) Grandfather. NOT MARTH.but if you trace bloodlines Roy has ancestors.
PLAY PATH OF RADIANCE BEFORE YOU COMMENTTHEY WILL NO MATTER WHAT BE CLONES!!!!!
NO THEY DON'T YOU MORONthey all have the same move set just minor differences they all use swords
Looks? Since FE10 was released the look nothing alikeThe similarities between Ike and Marth are so great that only one of them will likely make it into Brawl.
Sorry to barge into a conversation like that, but I'd just like to point out a few things about Ike.You make some good points, but I remain unconvinced.
The similarities between Ike and Marth are so great that only one of them will likely make it into Brawl. So far, Sahura's philosophy apears to be one of "out with the old and in with the new" (For example: the Twilight Princess Version of Link and the Star Fox Command version of Fox repacing their former incarnations) so that could definitely work in Ike's favor.
Anyway, given the fact that Ike will likely have a similar move-set and appearance most of the Marth fans should be able to adjust easily.
1) Yes, Ike and Marth swing their swords differently, but they would be similar in that they are both blue-haired, sword weilding Fire Emblem lords. Fire Emblem games have a huge variey of characters to draw upon (axe weilders like Hector, mages like Micaiah, thieves like Sothe, Generals like the Black Knight) so there is no excuse for having two characters so similar.Marth has a fencing style, Ike has a rough course fighting style and a ranged sword NOTHING alike. Ike is muscular and tank (in FE10) and Marth is slim and slender they look NOTHING alike.

Sigurd is a more popular Fire Emblem character than him and there are several characters more popular than him.
Yes, you are right about Ike's appearance in the upcoming Fire Emblem but until he starts using an axe or a spear he will still be too similar to Marth in my opinion.Sorry to barge into a conversation like that, but I'd just like to point out a few things about Ike.
He looks quite different in FE10 and this is most likely what he'd look like in Brawl too.

You might not be able to see it very well in this picture, but he's pretty huge now.

SNIPERTANGO-Blue Hair, and armor. They do look alike as do every ****ing blue haired sword wielding character is Fire Emblem games. Im suprised you study them so much shows you have no life.

THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME IKE JUST IS PISSED OFF!!!
SNIPERTANGO-Yeah who cares that Marth is the most important Fire Emblem character EVER.
Does it matter to the US market? we never knew who marth or roy was in the united states never even heard of them or Fire Emblem for that matter. So im pretty sure no one gave a **** that marth was important.
Most people say the greatest is either FE4 or FE7, FE9 is usually second, very few people have it as number one.
Notice how those are the games in which marth isnt in hahahah.
Sigurd is a more popular Fire Emblem character than him and there are several characters more popular than him.
Who said so? I sure as hell didnt oh wait my bad its your OPINION!!!!
No it was in SSBM which came out a few months BEFORE FE6.
Idiot PoR was the 3rd FE game released outside of Japan.
I forgot about the GBA ones oh wait **** they had similar looking characters too OH SNAP!!! in a more Roy case then marth.
WRONG! He's equally popular in Japan moron.
Yea japan MORON not the US jesus youre ****ing ******** our markets are different. And Roy was put in to promote his game as where marth was just there and had no purpose they could have just as easily just made Roy promote fire emblem and his game Ike>Marth yea.
Roy's only ancestors that can be traced are Eliwood his dad, Elbert his Grandfather, Eleanora his Grandmother and Roland his great great great great (etc.) Grandfather. NOT MARTH.
When the **** did i say that the two were related read MORON!!! yea i love how Roy has ancestors and marth doesnt hah.
PLAY PATH OF RADIANCE BEFORE YOU COMMENT
i did ***** and they both have a sword they will play similar dude i dont give a **** about style how do we not know Falco has a complete different way to fight then fox? they will be similar no matter what! And by the picture posted above if it worked. Ike is holding a sword which uh oh means he mostly uses a sword as his main choice. SO THEY WILL PLAY SIMILAR.
NO THEY DON'T YOU MORON
[
Yes they do, and God hates you
Looks? Since FE10 was released the look nothing alike
Moves? One has a rapier speed-esque sword the other has a strong rough sword with a ranged attack and axes.
