Reginn Suits Up!
Who is this?
Reginn is a Princess of the Kingdom of Niðavellir. Using the power of Seiðjárn - a scientifically-inspired type of magic-metal fusion - she fights in a Gullinbursti. Basically, she's a horseless cavalier fighter with a mech suit taking the role of her horse. She fights with a mix of the sword she carries and the magical devices that are totally distinct from machine guns attached on her armor.
Why is this?
Well, I'm guessing someone at the Fire Emblem Heroes team was like "We've done Fire Kingdom, Ice Kingdom, Death Kingdom, and Dream Kingdom... What next?" and someone replied "What if we had some robots with loose Norse roots?" and someone said "That sounds awesome!"
And now it's happened.
And it is, indeed, weirdly awesome!
How would she be different from the other Fire Emblem characters?
Well, the bad news is that she has blue hair and a sword.
The good news is that she is in a vaguely horse-shaped mech with machine guns attached to it. If you look carefully, you will notice that Marth is, in fact, not in a vaguely horse-shaped mech with machine guns attached to it. So, she has that going for her in terms of unique traits!
If you look very closely, you may notice the mech in this image.
So... Fire Emblem Heroes reps?
Smash Bros is weirdly hestiant on representing spin-off games, but Fire Emblem Heroes is a juggernaut of Nintendo's non-Pokemon-Go mobile game output. It makes a tonne of money and has a fairly large active playerbase. It even does have some songs in Smash Bros already, but no spirits and no particular home stage - even though a Fire Emblem Heroes stage would be a perfect way of putting in a lot of fan-favourite Fire Emblem cameos at once (possibly even using the Choose Your Legends poll as a reference to decide to include). It also has a tonne of OCs at this point, so it could easily be an all-OC spirit board!
As for whether or not Nintendo should promote a gacha game in Smash Bros morally... They probably shouldn't, honestly, so take this thread as my favourite incarnation of a dubious idea. Though honestly I like Alfonse and Sharena and Anna fine too.
Moveset Pitch!
The main gimmick of this moveset is based on FEH Skill Inheritance, where characters can equip a variety of skills including ones not naturally standard to that character. For this, Reginn has a total of 6 options for her side-special and each direction can have different skills equipped on them. There is also a gach mechanic on her FInal Smash as we had to represent that somewhere.
As the meme goes, for her neutral special… she does indeed wield a not-a-gun-because-this-is-magic-and-not-gunpowder.

She uses the power assigned to the A Skill slot in her down-special. Here are three examples of skills!
Fury
She does a super-powerful charging sword attack, but inflicts a small percentage of damage onto herself. Basically, she becomes Pichu for exactly one move. This move also has a slow build-up, making it very easy to dodge. Good for kills if someone is already stunned though!
Close Counter
She pauses in defense and then does a slice if attacked… like with most Fire Emblem characters.
Lunge
She charges forward, attacking anyone she hits and while spinning them around, causing her to take the position that they were in when attacked. So, for example, if she’s falling off the stage and Lunges, then she could swap spots with an edgeguarding foe to become the edgeguarder and to knock them off the stage.

She uses the power assigned to the B Skill slot in her down-special. Here are three more examples of skills!
Poison Strike
She does a quick sword stab, with a lingering curse after-effect, similar to Joker’s Eiha.
Breath of Life
She grabs onto the opponent and shoots at them with her gatling guns, healing herself in the process, similar to Robin’s down-special.
Quick Riposte
She does a quick strike. This move can be used multiple times in a row to form a 3-part combo of strikes, but it depends on the amount of health she has. 0%-20% allows for all 3 attacks, 20%-60%, allows for two, and 60% or above is just one.

Similar to Hero, a menu appears overtop her portrait. On it, six icons and names appear representing the six skills (explained above) that can be assigned to her two skill slots (A and B). The first one you select becomes her A skill and the second one becomes her B Skill. If you are attacked mid-selection, then you can fill an empty B skill slot right away by doing the down-special again.
These skills all have a set order of appearance (all six appear at once with consistent placement) and the chosen skills’ icons will be displayed by her portrait at all times, ensuring other players know what moves she has access to.

Similar to Zelda, she has a teleporting up-special.
Additionally, when sent into free fall, she loses her mech suit - this helps her fall slower and more gracefully (as her mech suit would have her dropping like a rock) at the expense of not being able to do aerials.

Upon activision, Alfonse appears and does a slice attack, similar to Chrom in Robin’s Pair Up. Unlike Pair Up, however, any foes contacted will be sent to a cutscene Final Smash.
Alfonse, Sharena, and Anna all do dramatic poses alongside Reginn. The camera then pans out to the hero summoning altar from Fire Emblem Heroes, with has a puff of smoke appear around it and a fifth hero appears.
45% of the time the hero is Fjorm, the Book 2 unit and Princess of Nifl. She shouts “This is my all! For Nifl!” and joins the others for an attack, KO-ing at over 100% and launching otherwise.
30% of the time the hero is Eir, the Book 3 unit and Princess from the land of the dead. She calmly declares “Don’t worry. You won’t suffer.” and joins the others for an attack, KO-ing at over 80% and launching otherwise.
20% of the time the hero is Peony, the Book 4 unit and resident of Ljósálfheimr, the land of dreams. She laughs and shouts “Nap time for you!” and joins the others for an attack, KO-ing at over 60% and launching otherwise.
5% of the time the hero is Veronica, the Book 1 villain (turned Book 2/3/4 uneasy ally) and Princess of Emblia. She excitedly shouts “This time, we stand together!” and joins the others for an attack, KO-ing at the objectively-absurd rate of over 40% and launching otherwise.
For some stability, this Final Smash gets standardized when playing on Battlefield/Final Destination stages. The graphics will still be different, but it always KOs at over 90%.
