Wha!!? How can you tell all fire emblems battle modes is just I attack you doing one specific waves of the sword depending on class and attack and you do one wave of your sword lance or axe to retaliate how can you tell if she is different from Marth?
She moves differently.

I wish I could elaborate, but it's really hard to explain.

Just... watch.

Krystal is a lot more popular on the poll. Lyn was mentioned once I think. Stop whining that she wasn't popular enough. And Lip probably will be an AT.
Oh give him a break. Most likely he wasn't talking about females in general in brawl but a Fire Emblem Female. Lyndis and Mikaya are the only stand-out female FE characters.

That doesn't count Marth was in the beginning of the Fe series and moved kind of cheesy, but as FE games progressed they made attacks and gameplay more fluent. Be sides Erika is a better pick
The GCN didn't have those limitations, and yet Marth still pretty much failed to do much more than perform simple vertical sword slashes in various directions. It looks like Sakurai is using Ike's reckless personality as an excuse to try to make things a little more interesting, but the potential is just not there for Marth, and I don't really see how Sigurd could be much better. Conversely, Lyn has a ton of character inherent in the way she moves and attacks.

The GBA Fire Emblems were the only ones I've seen that really worked hard to make every class fight in a unique and interesting way, so it's no coincidence that the GBA lords are the most animated in the series. I played Path of Radiance, and it's pretty obvious that the developers said "Most people just turn the animations off, so let's just not even bother." Things like Aether were practically the standard for all critical hits in FE7 (it's practically stolen directly from the Mercenary generic class, for crying out loud!). And yet everyone is still oohing and aahing over the likes of Marth, Sigurd, and the Black Knight, thinking they add something to Brawl, which is of course based entirely on keeping combat interesting. I don't get it.

The first thing that came to my mind was "Sakurai is a hyprocrite".

He tells us he wants more female characters playable, then he goes and makes one of the best candidates an assist trophy. WTF

Hey kids, don't be surprised if KRYSTAL and LIP are ATs.
Lyn isn't the only FE female. There's Micaiah, and unlike the Ayra wannabe, the game she stars in is actually well-recieved in Japan and wanted among FE fans in the states.

meh..

mehhh..well..

i was kinda hoping for something a bit more interesting today. =/

hmm. well, i don't particularly like assist trophy updates too much..

they havent exactly..quenched my thirst. lol.

anyway, im not too big of a FE fan, so i guess that adds to my dissapointment.
but obviously alot of people wanted her as an acctual playable character, as ive read some comments. so lets hope for a better update tomorrow.

alright thats all i have to say. XP

"Ayra wannabe"? Why, because they both wield katanas? I've been playing Fire Emblem 4, and although I haven't seen Ayra's promoted abilities yet, I definitely haven't seen her teleporting around the arena and striking at hyper-speed recently (though Astral Blade was pretty complex compared to the other physical classes in that game, I'll admit).

Ayra does something similar. So does her daughter.

hmm the only thing that scares is how many other characters that we really want playable become nothing more than an assist trophy? and another thing is think they really need to put a few more femal characters into thhe game and lyn becomin an AT doesnt help lets hope that in the end this is a good decesion and we get someone ten times better!

A tear, huh? Well I have never played a Fire Emblem game before but she does look cool. The title to this is right. They left out about three pics.

In my last post of characters, I left out Ryu

I had no idea who she was, but I must say, as unique as she looks, she would have made a pleasant addition to the playable cast, heck, any female character would. I hope to god they add at least two or three new females because there is too much testosterone in the roster.

Of interest is one of the alternate endings of the particular Fire Emblem game shows that she marries one of the other main characters and has a child who stars in a later game. While it’s unclear exactly who she mothers, it’s either Lilina, Lance, Sue or Roy. Yes, Melee Roy. Wether that hints as to his return, or wether he’ll turn out to be an assist trophy, is pure speculation.
Okay, I may be wrong but she CAN'T be Roy's mother because according to FE7's ending, Roy is Eliwood's father. Lyn was traveling with Eliwood for about 80% of the game. Unless there's some kind of time travel going on in there. PIME TARADOX!

Of course, I may be wrong. It's been a long time ever since I played FE7.

Get back on topic. Anyways, I think Lyn would've been a good character if she were playable. I guess they decided they had enough playable sword characters in the game.

I was Playing FE6 and Eliwood is Roy's father.

no i really think it would be cool if thier was a sword woman
more female charecters
if that the case they should have let Zelda Keep her sword from Twilight Princess.....but tru. if Lyn was Playable....she actually would be the first female brawler from FE...AND the first woman to use a sword to fight with in Brawl...

Looks like a cool AT like Dr.Wright is to me.

Also I went through the Nsider Forums A.K.A Home of Spam and some chick is getting attention by saying she is killing herself since Lyn is not playable........Dumb Attention Hogs

I'm pretty sure it's vice versa with the Roy and Eliwood thing. Also, I think Sakurai's showing us all these pokeball/AT people to get the non-playables out the way, IMO.
