That's just adding characters, it really doesn't matter what the character uses as long as he really deserves that spot. They won't add anything new to teh table just a different moveset. You want something new on the table, figure out a way to make the mechanics turn from defensive to offensive.



Also lets end this Lyn discussion, no one ever wins in this one.
It adds a new fighting style to the game. I mean using a lance would be using a LONG weapon which you would have to altar your play style to use from say Marth.

and that Oscar thing was a joke...right?

So in a way Chibi-Robo would truly make a great WTF character :laugh:


Um just because you have a lance doesn't mean you have an even longer attack. Marth has a very long sword that gives him a big disjointed hit box.
Marth doesn't have crap compared to Ike!:mad: and a lance would be as long if not LONGER than Ike's sword (Ragnell).

On the topic of Ike...I want him to have his Vanguard look...

Marth and Ike have about the same amount of range :dizzy:

I'm not saying a lance wouldn't be long. . . .

besides if you have lance that doesn't mean you could use it at max range each attack.
Ike's AAA has much longer reach than anything of Marth's

Someone had a GREAT Nephenee moveset on here a few hundred pages ago that needed one change

Gonondorf could have the awesome Toon Ganondorf robes (Or whatever he's wearing in Wind Waker).

I wouldn't mind seeing a lance user show up, I wouldn't support or be against it. I would just be mad if someone like Nephenee ended up getting in when even Mic would have been a better fire emblem rep. The longest I would want to see a weapon would be as long or just as long as Ike/ Marths sword. Ike and Marths swords are about the same length in brawl. A lance in smash bros might be long, but I would presume his long range moves would have a good amount of lag.


Also you can make a decent move set with anyone :laugh:, just look at ROB.

Srry if this is a Double Post...

AAAAGGGG! Everybody does NOT need alt. Costumes only ones that make sense and I hate Place holders choose an existing character and put OR new FE lord. Why does everyone put "New FE Lord"? Look at the series and pick someone you think would work because there might not be a "New FE Lord" by the time Sakurai picks the roster.

Once again that's why Ike was a rep of PoR, cuz RD came out too close to SSB4

and kirbywiz I meant Micaiah and a lance user are good not Lance Micaiah she should be the very first pick for a new FE rep

Ok one of the main reasons everyone puts new fire emblem lord is because no one wants to start the old Lyn/Roy/ Siglud argument again.

Also usually when you think of a main FE character it would be a Lord like Ike/Marth/Roy/Lyn/Mic/Siglud/Erika, the people that were the main characters of their games.

I wouldn't have Mic as a first pick seeing she could just be replaced with Ike

Haven't I been over why Micaiah and Ike aren't switchable? They are completely different and RD was mainly about Micaiah and Ike was the other Lord that helped her by kickin some butt.

I would say "wasn't Gaiden considered the worst FE ever?" but I wouldn't want to sound like kirbywizard.

They are completely when it comes to weapons, stats, and even personality. And micaiah and Ike both shared an equal role in RD.


Ike can easily represent both RD, and PoR by himself, we wouldn't even need to deal with Micaiah

Did they both fight for their friends? :chuckle:

Why have a new FE lord when we can get an Advance Wars rep?
?:D
Why have one or the other when we can have both?

@drag0nscythe

I'm not sure veryone needs a costume, but if I were to give one to Zelda/Sheik, it would be Nayru/Din (The oracles, not the goddesses)

How did they have an equal role? (no matter what I say I still love Ike as a character) Ike was just continuing his role in PoR, helping people with mercenary work and people that helped/his friends in PoR and

Micaiah is fighting trying to save her country and its people no matter what the cost is that she has been with for a VERY long time. She has more importance in the game because w/o her Ike wouldn't be able to beat the last boss and save the day.

Ike can't represent RD by himself only somewhere around half, Micaiah can represent the rest.

She may not have seniority over Ike in terms of rep but if you someone from another FE game in there she should get there before them.

Ike was fighting to save his country, people, and friends. They had identical roles, they were just made to fight each other for opposing view points. Also Micaiah needed Ike to defeat the lats boss, you needed both.

Even if Ike can only represent half of RD, then if you have him in the next SSB4 then he already represent both PoR, and RD ( even if it's only by half). We don't need Micaiah just to represent the other half. Give Ike his RD appearance and your set.

I think Michaiah does have a chance, but I feel another Fire Emblem Rep like Roy would be better.

Oh, you just blew it, I'm really tired of this whole argument and I REEEEEEALY don't want to start one about Roy, but Roy just really shouldn't take the place from someone since he's a clone.

He was a clone, you never know if he will end up a clone again or not. He could end up like a semi clone like Toon Link.

Want to know what? I hate discussing FE reps here because no one ever wins, it just goes on forever. I'm sticking to my opinion on the matter, and it might change if something ground breaking is discovered, or if a new FE game is anounced.

Yeah, one thing I hate about this thread, is that ever little thing can be turned into a big argument :(




Your Skull Kid avatar reminds me how much I wanted him to be Brawl, I was such a fan of him. I would have settled for an Assist Trophy.

Right behind you with a knife.

Uh...speaking of that...

Derp Derp Derp. This thread moves so fast that it took me awhile just to find that Pichu comment, let alone this one. Oh well, as far as Pichu is concerned, I don't quite agree, since I don't think you're really considering the amount of effort that would go into balancing Pichu versus the effort that would go into making him act exactly like Pikachu.

Also, sorry for the quote jenga, but I'd rather just stick to this, seeing as your post is like 10 pages back.

"a kid trying to protect his kingdom from a evil invading empire"
- He's fully aware Bern isn't evil, just that Zephiel is just being a douchebag. Partly because of Guinevere travelling with him, partly because he's familiar with the history of Bern.
I don't feel that I should go over these types of things too much since they go off topic from what we are actually debating, but while I guess the definition of evil is subjective and what not, Bern is very much a miltary state trying to take over the world, get rid of humanity, and have dragons run the show. He's really not acting like a douchebag, but rather just being insane. (He has reasons for this of course, but that doesn't change the fact that he's nuts)

"making friends all along the way."
- Recruiting more soldiers is critical to the gameplay, but even then he never gets chummy with the individual soldiers unless he has a support with them.
And? I guess this isn't actually something that needed to be brought up, since its at the core of every main character of FE, so calling this generic is a moot point.

"He doesn't want to kill or anything, but given the circumstances, he must yadda yadda."
- He never complains about killing, not once. The closest thing to that is his desire to prevent the war, and he gives up on that completely after Hector dies in like Chapter 3.
If you say it like that it seems like he lost his humanity there. He is still trying to bring peace though, what with the believing in mankind thing, and trying to stop the dragons from taking over.

Nevermind that you completely missed one of his more obvious traits, his intelligence. It's obvious that you're criticizing a character you don't know anything about. I'm not gonna give you guff for not knowing Sigurd though since you already said that you're not that familiar with him (and we don't have to talk about him because I've already mentioned that he has no chance a while ago).
Intelligance, like making friends along the way, is a moot point on reconsideration. All the FE mains have to have it, since its indivative to the nature of the game. Thus basing the fact if its generic or not doesn't quite matter I guess. Also I'm curious why you don't think that Sigurd has a chance, since you seemed to be defending him before despite his already used apperance/weilding a sword. If its because he has a outdated game that was only released in Japan, it'd be kind of silly considering your stance on Roy.


"Roy and Ike are interchangable because they are both lords who use fire in their attacks."
- You're not this stupid. I know you're not.
I don't want to go all the way back to my original post, but if I recall this was just mocking one of your statements, rather than being serious. <_<


- This is probably the best example of you admitting that you have no perception. Marth stands still and tall, brushes his hair, has a soft voice, and tends to confuse people for a woman. Roy is bouncing, he's got his fist clenched like he's ready to punch someone, his voice is loud, and he's all over the place in his victory poses. EVERYONE sees it, and that's why everyone calls Marth "feminine" and Roy "energetic." The only way you wouldn't know is if you never played as either of them for more than five seconds.
That's still pretty much jumping to conclusions in terms of the personalities though. I guess the problem here though is their depiction in Smash Bros, rather than their depiction in their own games, where Marth and Roy have virtually the same personality. (Where the problem seems to be depicted as more feminine. In any case with the made up personalities, Ike kind of usurped your idea for Roy. :dizzy:

Actually, what this reminds me a lot of is Captain Falcon, who seems to have a different personality (or preceived to have a different personality) in Smash than the one he has in F-Zero.

- I know this wasn't in response to me so I feel like I'm cheating, but I can't ignore this. The twins. TWINS. Seriously. How can you be , blind? At this point I have to wonder if you even own a copy of Brawl or if you actually played the Fire Emblem games you said you've played. If you did, you've easily notice how Marth and Roy fight like a Myrmidon/Swordmaster (especially Dolphin Slash/Blazer), where Ike is like a Mercenary/Hero (especially Brawl Aether being more in line with their crit animation instead of FE Aether). But no, they're twins because "they're both blue-haired swordsmen."
Uh, I wasn't talking about Ike and Marth. I was talking about Ephraim and Eirika, the lords of FE8. :lick:


As far as I can tell, your main argument is "we need more lances, axes, mages, anything but sword weilders!" And that makes as much sense as "we need more women and villains" or "we need more Mario and Zelda characters!" It doesn't work like that because people want specific characters, not categories. If people wanted Micaiah it'd be because they think Micaiah rules, not because she has a light tome and boobs. People don't want Ridley because he's "a villian to a series that needs more characters." They like him because he's the man.
My main argument is that Fire Emblem shouldn't keep on having the same type of character. Its not a want of lances, axes, mages, and what not, its a diswant of another sword users from Fire Emblem, or at least the same type of sword user (Lyn probably wouldn't fight that way...but Lyn's probably not getting in anyways, so disregard this) The series should be expanded, instead of having three characters who are virtually the same, outside some fairly insignificant differences. Quite frankly, I'd be fine if the FE series only stays with Ike and Marth, and doesn't get a new character, since that will still be better than overloading the franchise with more of the same.

Yes, it's possible for Cindy to become interested in the new, but she won't stop pining for the old. And if you play the "what does one person matter?" card, that just shows that you're completely out of touch with the average fan. The majority of them want Roy and the evidence is all over the place.
I don't think a analogy about a lost dog is quite apt since we can only assume that the girl liked her dog for her special bond that they developed together. It'd be more apt to put in say a doll, since any bond that's generated between the girl and the doll would be more akin to any that a player would generate between themself and Roy. In any case, it still stands that most connections that these average fans have is created by the aethetics of Roy, rather than Roy himself, and thus he can be replaced, since despite your analogy, there isn't that much emotional attachment. Of course some will still complain, but everyone complains about everything in these types of games, since no one's dream roster will be perfect. Plus, its not like there's a overwhelimg majority of people who want Roy, since I'm pretty sure that most of Smash fans don't really care. Its just those vocal few who don't aren't really that big into Fire Emblem, yet still seemed to develop a attachment to Roy instead of being indifferent like most are. Even Mewtwo, who clearly has more people complaining about him, is pretty unlikely, as the fanbase is mostly confined to message boards. Of course this makes me wonder what exactly the Japanese stance on Roy's cut was, since their fan base is almost certainly the one that could push in these types of characters through.

This is you saying people don't want Roy and Sakurai could've magic'd Roy into the game with the power of love if they did. Nevermind all the people upset over Roy's exclusion. Nevermind all the stuff Sakurai had to do just to release the game three months after the initial release date. Nevermind the fact that very very few people were honestly expecting Doc, Pichu, Master Chief, or Geno (sorry Fatman).
I'm saying if fan demand was high enough, then Roy would have gotten in anyways, since he would have been priority. Look at Falco. He was a clone who had enough fan popularity that he got in despite the fact that there was a new character added. (And it speaks even more for him, since the new character pushed in was a clone as well) Also, while its true that I doubt that many were expecting Doc, Pichu, and especially MC, I do remember what it was like Pre-Brawl, and more people were expecting Geno than Roy, even though Geno's inclusion made no sense. (Heck, near the end, I think the only one who was expected more than Geno was Ridley, and we know how all that turned out. :urg: )


Here's a question: what has any Lord aside from Marth, Roy, or Ike done for the series to make them important? Oh yeah, that's right. They haven't done anything. Lyn taught people outside Japan how to play the game and she's an AT. Good for her. Everyone else? Showed up in their one game, maybe had a cameo in another, then they were done. Went on to be a king or a queen or died bravely. Never came back, never stood out.
....Wat?

Yes, most lords havn't really don't many important things outside of their one game, with the exception of Ike and Marth who had multiple ones, but Roy falls into that mass of other lords that you just put down. In his own series, Roy hasn't done anything in his own series, at least by your definition of it.

Being in Smash Bros. means WAY more than being in any individual Fire Emblem game because Smash means WAY more to the average person than any individual Fire Emblem game.
Then it shouldn't matter at all who they include, since the FE game won't matter that much, thus they should please the fans by putting someone who better at expanding the series. It won't bother the average person, since it doesn't matter to them, according to you.


The funny thing about this is Sakurai has no way of telling the difference between "non-fans" and people who played Fire Emblem. I could tell him that Moltres is my favorite Pokemon. How is he supposed to know whether it's because of Smash or Pokemon?
Uh...because you tell him more than "I like Moltres. :3" I guess? That's how those letters went anyways. Plus given that Pokemon is a bigger franchise than Smash isn't that kind of like saying "I like doughnuts :3" and Sakurai not being able to tell if you like the doughnut food item in smash, or the actual food? (Plus, Moltres is pretty bad for a legendary in Brawl. Why would you like him because of his apperance there? :psycho: )

And no, Marth doesn't convey "the Fire Emblem effect" well enough on his own. People don't write "Fire Emblem was localized because Marth was in Melee." It's "Marth and Roy." Everywhere on every website that has a description. "Are Marth and Roy in this one?" People want them both. My brother used to say "so basically, Roy is Fire and Marth is Emblem, and they fight crime." You can't have one without the other and assume people will accept it. They're bound to eachother forever.
Again, its not these type of people that the roster should be generated for. Marth and Roy don't even exist in the same universe. Given the total disregard to each of their characters, I don't see the problem at all with cutting one, and adding another, since the people are just generating stuff in their head.
