Depends, do you want a good answer or the troll "Winnie the Pooh" answer?
'Cuase if you have the same weapon (although having a completely different appearance and size) and are related you MUST fight exactly the same, right?. If it helps the argument that they're not similar Tiki mentions in her support to the Avatar that Chrom is nothing like marth. She says that Chrom more so resembles the hero Anri who came before Marth.
Well, more fire would sound appealing. You know, something that will make Roy more then a cheap Marth wannabe. I wouldn't be ******** about Roy much if he wasn't an inferior Marth, but as long as that stigma is imprinted in my head, expectations are not strong. A similar thing happens with Mewtwo, who's bad design gave me a sour taste in my mouth and is the reason why Mewtwo does not sound appealing in Super Smash Bros.So what you are saying is we needed more ph1r3? I agree. All of Roy's attacks should have fire involved, and Roy should even breathe fire like Bowser/Charizard.
What was wrong with Mewtwo's ''Design'' in Melee?
He sucked. Like, really bad. Though personally I don't see that as a reason to exclude him: Samus sucked really bad in 64 IIRC but still came out decent in Melee.
A lack of synergy with his attributes. A large target with a light frame and a slow falling and dashing speed, with attacks that don't exactly compliment Mewtwo's style of play.
you said ''Design'' not Moves..
So semi-clone then? And I believe what Tiki said had more to do with their personalities than anything.
And like Ganondorf, the best way to make them awesome again is by giving them swords.
Actually, assuming a hypothetical FE6 remake gets bundled with an FE7 remake, I had an idea for a gameplay mechanic that could solve that little issue:
How is Chrom "Deserving"?Chrom.
And if you are Habanero, Isaac.
Depends, Marth in FE1 (and maybe FE3, tough to tell) and in Smash never really fenced anyone (the latter up until Brawl for 1 special move). As for speed that's debatable, FE13 draws it's cutscenes out really long, while Marth, who was never seen as a fast character up until Melee (play FE1/3), and Ike who's ridiculously fast in FE9/10 is slow and sluggish in Brawl.
So if you concede that their play style can differ from their source material then why did you think he was going to be a clone in the first place? I mean if it can change, then there's no reason for it to be the same.
Bowser junior confirmed due to blood ties.
So Koopalings deconfirmed then.Bowser junior confirmed due to blood ties.
He could be unique, but he could also end up like Lucas (who was added early in development, still ended up as a semi-clone, and who also did not follow source material). All that aside looking at what we know about Chrom so far and how he fights in game, he has not caught the interest of anyone bar a gimmicky tag team with Lucina that has already failed to work in Brawl, and in some ways how he fights does resemble Marth's fighting style from Smash. It's not that unreasonable at this point to see him as a character with a large chance at being semi-clone (as I stated in my first post about not being able to imagine a unique moveset). Yes, as you said, it's entirely subjective, but it does say a lot when it's a widely held opinion.
Damn... You've all been at this for quite a while for Roy to be the inly relevant FE character... Now I see why you're all so desperate for info...
Roy did not have serious competition for the third FE character spot until FE13 was announced, which was September 2011. 1.5 years ago is not a long time ago.
Keep in mind that Palutena had absolutely no moveset potential before Uprising. So when we got Uprising's first trailer, many people went to Medusa because of moveset potential "that would make sense and not be completely made up."
Radiation doesn't give you cancer, it kills cancer.
If Roy could breathe fire, I'd like him a lot more...So what you are saying is we needed more ph1r3? I agree. All of Roy's attacks should have fire involved, and Roy should even breathe fire like Bowser/Charizard.
Yes, radiation can give you cancer
1 and 4 are kinda understandable, but if 2 and 3 mattered, we would have had Another F zero rep by brawl and Zelda and Peach would be cut.
Well there was some discussion earlier that Roy might be able to breathe ice if Ninian is his mother, considering she is an ice dragon.
Suddenly Medusa sounds more interesting than Palutena...
He might have had more competition had I been around... Oh well, not like it matters. It would just have been more of the same.
I am talking about how Roy was seen as the only likely choice for a FE newcomer up until FE13. If there was another realistic choice aside from Roy it was some placeholder "FE13 lord".
WELL, you should remember this was before we knew much about Uprising at all. A lot of my ideas for why Medusa would be more interesting were because I was basically making up everything based only on her being a goddess of darkness. Was even suggesting things like her forming the lower half of her body into a snake's body to "slither" around in the air as an Up Special. Most of the theme I had given her in my head revolved around her forming snakes out of dark magic to attack from a long range.
