I would totes swap out Lucina for Caeda in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't make any other changes, though. Too mean, and a net deficit to gameplay fun. Maybe Lucina for Caeda is even too mean, but I want to play as a Pegasus Knight and I also wanna see the shippers react to Marth's wife walking in, LOL. And I'd still probably have Lucina as an alt anyway because honestly people should still be able to play as her if she was almost one in the first place.

I use to have friends.

Then I graduated High School.

I have one IRL friend but he's been busy finishing up college and he's planning on moving away soon.

You guys are good enough, in my opinion. Having friends I can interact with outside of the internet is nice, but here I can talk to all of you guys in nothing more than my shorts.

Its wonderful honestly.

Honestly it does get harder to make actual friends when you get older.

At least in my experience, everyone's busy their own thing and so am I. I got like one friend whom I've known since high school but that's really about it.

I don't have an ideal FE Line Up

But I would like to have at least Marth, Roy, Ike, Lucina and Micaiah (some of my favorite characters of the franchise; and Marth & Ike, because I can't just don't put them)

I love Micaiah.

Relevant time to show this to the thread, haha.

Caeda Flies In!​


Moveset

Jab: Caeda strikes twice with her spear and then twirls it.
Dash Attack: Caeda performs an aerial corkscrew into the opponent.
Side Tilt: Caeda swings the Wing Spear downward from overhead.
Up Tilt: Caeda's pegasus bumps her upward off its back while she holds her spear skyward.
Down Tilt: Caeda's pegasus flaps its wings downward, with each up and down movement causing minor damage.

Side Smash: Caeda's pegasus charges forward with Caeda's Wing Spear held outward.
Up Smash: Caeda's pegasus faces toward the screen and bucks its back legs upward.
Down Smash: Caeda's pegasus rears up and stomps its hooves, bringing down its wings for a two-part smash attack.

Neutral Aerial: Caeda's pegasus does a quick midair somersault, doing minor damage.
Forward Aerial: Caeda lunges forward with her Wing Spear, doing heavy damage.
Back Aerial: Caeda turns her pegasus around to strike the opponent with a backhanded spear attack.
Up Aerial: Caeda raises her lance and twirls it in a helicopter spin. A multihit move.
Down Aerial: Caeda's pegasus kicks its hooves downwards, potentially causing a meteor effect.

Grab and Pummel: Caeda's pegasus bites onto the opponent while Caeda strikes them with her Wing Spear for a pummel.
Forward Throw: Caeda's pegasus charges into them, sending them flying.
Back Throw: Caeda whistles, making her pegasus swing its head, tossing the foe backward before bucking them with its back hooves.
Up Throw: Caeda scoops the foe up with her Wing Spear and stabs them as they're sent skyward.
Down Throw: Caeda's pegasus "counts" on the foe several times before stomping on them.

Neutral Special: Armorcrusher - In Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem, Caeda was given a signature weapon, the Wing Spear. Like the rapier, this was effective against heavily armored and units on horseback. In Smash, this translates to her Neutral Special. In this chargeable attack, Caeda's pegasus flies backwards into the air, preparing to charge, before rushing forward and downward with Caeda's Wing Spear extended. This not only does heavy shield damage, but it also breaks through any enemy super armor when fully charged. However, the charging animation leaves Caeda vulnerable to attack. This move is named after a lance skill from Shadows of Valentia.

Side Special: Tempest Lance - Based on a skill for the Steel Lance from Shadows of Valentia, this attack involves Caeda drawing her lance and holding it outward. From its tip shoot a gust of razor wind similar to Mega Man's Air Shooter. A multihit projectile that travels horizontally with a maximum range of roughly the length of half of Final Destination. Like Greninja's Water Shuriken, it carries the opponent within it until it reaches its maximum range.

Up Special: Wings of Talys - This move has Caeda's pegasus perform a rising corkscrew attack before then gliding diagonally downward in the direction Caeda is facing. A simple recovery that can also be used as an attack.

Down Special: Hit and Run - Once again, this is named after a lance skill found in a Shadows of Valentia, though it is also a very common skill for flying units in Fire Emblem Heroes. In this attack, Caeda does a quick burst maneuver in which her pegasus flies at the opponent before making an immediate u-turn. This makes it an effective get-off-me tool on land. In the air, however, this attack gains a minor homing effect and can double as an offensive horizontal recovery. She will strike the foe before rushing back in the direction she came from, making this quite a potent edge guarding tool, further establishing Caeda's aerial dominance.

Final Smash: Queen of the Skies - Caeda breaks open the Smash Ball and is then capable of free, uninterrupted flight. She can charge into her foes for damage, similar to Super Sonic, but she can also toss spears toward the ground beneath her with the the attack button. Caeda also is much more durable while this move is being performed. After a set amount of time, the move ends.


Gameplay Overview:
Caeda is the first Smash fighter to fight while riding a mount (in this case, her pegasus). Due to this, she is one of the largest fighters in the game. Her pegasus stands at right about Bowser's height, which is slightly shorter than Fire Emblem's mounts usually are, but is just fine for Smash. The wings of the pegasus are also slightly downsized, but not to a ridiculous degree.

For those concerned about potentially having a character with canonically unlimited flight, I feel the need to point out that in Fire Emblem, Pegasus Knights do not have unlimited flight. This is shown by the fact that despite it being higher than most other classes, there still exists a cap for movement on a Pegasus Knight. Not to mention that in more recent games, their mounts are often shown landing after combat.

As far as ledge mechanics, which can become awkward with mounted characters, Caeda herself grabs the ledge while her pegasus flies next to her, off on the z-axis where it no longer counts as a hit box. Caeda's get-up attack, ledge jump, and ledge roll animations all feature her remounting her pegasus during the attack, making the transition seamlessly fluid.

Caeda has the highest air speed in the game due to speed being her best stat by far in her own games (she'll often cap her speed stat before promoting to an advanced class). In addition, she has a minor added gimmick similar to Bowser Jr.'s. Energy-based projectiles (such as Robin's Thoron) will have their damage greatly reduced when striking Caeda, but physical projectiles (like Link's arrows) will do more damage than normal, referencing Caeda's incredibly high Resistance and low Defense, in addition to the Pegasus Knight class's arrow weakness by proxy.

Why Caeda? Who is she?
Realistically Caeda likely won't make the cut, but that doesn't mean she isn't without merits of her own.

Caeda is arguably the second most important playable protagonist from Marth's games (Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Mystery of the Emblem, and their remakes, Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem). She is playable right from the beginning and is responsible for recruiting a large portion of Marth's army (in Shadow Dragon, other than Marth himself, anyone that can recruit characters only recruits one other character...Caeda recruits five). And at the end of Shadow Dragon, she becomes Marth's fiancée, while at the end of New Mystery, she is crowned Queen alongside Marth as King.

Caeda is also the most important character in the series of the Pegasus Knight class line, an iconic Fire Emblem class that has existed since the beginning of the series. Caeda also gets lots of promotion from Intelligent Systems in comparison to most other Fire Emblem characters, especially of those who existed before Awakening gave the series more widespread appeal. She has a fair share of merchandise of her own, such as her own Nendoroid figure. She has been getting more attention as of late as well, now having Fire Emblem Warriors under her belt, as well as having received her own unique weapon upgrade in Fire Emblem Heroes.

Caeda, while unlikely, isn't without merit or importance, and could offer a fighting style unlike anything else in Smash.

Bonus Material:

Entrance Animation:
Caeda flies in on her pegasus as it rears up and whinnies.

Taunts:
Up Taunt: Caeda raises her lance and says "Throw down your weapon!"
Side Taunt: Caeda pets the head of her pegasus as it whinnies.
Down Taunt: Caeda tosses her hair back and says "What a shame."

Victory Animations:
Victory 1: Caeda flies in on her pegasus and says "A lovely battle."
Victory 2: Caeda brushes her pegasus as a small bird lands on her finger.
Victory 3: Caeda leaps from her pegasus and twirls her Wing Spear, saying "Don't underestimate me!"

Victory VS Marth: Victory Pose 3, except she says "I hope I didn't hurt you too badly" before smiling.
She'd be amazing.

You're supposed to blink admiringly at a cat. I'm not sure if booping is part of cat protocol.

At least it's better than treating a kitten like a dog. Or Bastet help you, tying random objects to their tail and hoping it doesn't cause a chain reaction leading to their being put to sleep.

. . .I used to have a friend. Our parents' mutual friendship and our personal interests drifted apart, and thus so did we. Their younger siblings were mostly OK, but MAN, I feel bad for that poor kitten looking back on it.

I booped Nora's snoot all the time when she was a kitten.

She boops mine sometimes so clearly it affected her.

@BluePikmin11 If you want to get an understanding of Heihachi's playstyle in Tekken, he's a little more defensive than Kazuya and Devil Jin as far as Mishimas go. I would suggest that he'd probably heavier than Ryu, even though Ryu is in the same weight tier as Mega Man and Samus.

But a quick rundown of staple Mishima moves that should be translated.

MISHIMA Shared moves
- WGF(EWGF, uses the SRK-ish motion to use it)
- Hell Sweeps, likely as a Down B
- Lighting Upper
- Demon Scissor Kick, likely a Dash Attack
- Tsunami Kick, some kind of normal, if not a unique Down+Forward tilt, similar to Samus changing direction on her forward tilt
- The "112" as a jab combo, the "Flash Punch Combo", or the Demon Slayer "122"
- A basic low kick
- That kick throw Kazuya and Jin use, since I think he had it back in Tekken 1 and 2, and Ryu uses one of Akuma's throws since they are both Shotos anyway.

HEIHACHI Unique moves
- Hell Axle, Could be a recovery
- Headbutt Grab, one of his throws
- Powerbomb, another grab
- Geta Stomp, maybe as Down Smash
- Demon's Breath, seems like a good Side Smash.
- He has a "Demon Wings" move that could have armor on it
- "Jichinsai" is one of the other stomp moves I was talking about.
- Hooking Cresent Moon Kick, another two hit kick.
- Wind Slider, could work as an air kick.
- Atomic Drop for a Down Throw

If you were to ask me, I would maybe implement diagonals to his moveset, since things like Metal Blades, or side tilts, and especially Little Mac's Side Smash rely on them. Mac's Smash attacks change animation for the diagonal versions as it is. Unless certain moves used button combos like "AAB" or "ABA" and "ABB". I have a bit of trouble thinking of some air attacks, but aside from that, I think a Tekken character can translate well into other fighters. The spot dodge could even have him sidestep like you would in Tekken.

That's...damn. What'd it do? Came out alright, right?

Also booping is part of cat protocol but I don't advise following cat protocol as the very next item on the list is usually claws.

My ideal FE representation? I think it'd overcome the Mario roster even with the Koopalings, Wario, Yoshi and Donkey Kong Country counting. :lol: Marth, Roy, Ike, Lyn, Robin, Lucina, Corrin, Celica, Black Knight, Fjorm, Anna

That being said, I would like all of them to return. If I had to choose 1 new Fire Emblem character, it'd be either Celica or Fjorm. Celica is probably the more reasonable of the two however, especially as Fjorm came out very recently compared to Celica. Unless Fjorm pulls a Greninja.

Yeah, but Mac already has different punches for diagonal smashes.

Oh, and BTW, His Final Smash should have him toss characters off a cliff, or at least bring back the rocket from PSASBR.
