How so?
Because honestly, the thing that makes Roy more deserving is his inclusion in Melee.
Other than that they have almost the same things going for them.
I don't recall Lyn's story getting a prequel starring her identical descendent. But, okay. Though she did have international release and an assist trophy.

I could use this...........
*cough* *cough* Smash Bros Affinity please check it out in my sig *cough* *cough*
I'll just hope there are no copyrights on this.


So, I was working on my revamped roster based on my statement on Sakurai's outlook for newcomers looking for uniqueness and potential, and I was thinking of Bowser Jr's. paintbrush and how he is really unlikely at this point.
Long story short, I remembered Vince from Art Academy, and I instantly fell in love with the idea.
What are your thoughts on the character?

To be fair, I think marth alone could have done the job of promotion. But sakurai wanted clones instead of dedede.
Roy had that special thing for the Japanese fanbase though. It certainly helped getting Fire Emblem revived in Japan with FE6's release. Hence why the Japanese are so fierce about Roy.:roypm:
No Fastblade would be more tsundere.
Loves Roy but is reluctant to express it, so he masquerades his feelings with a hostile disposition.
We all know you are tsundere for Impa to. :reverse:

I don't know, just...
Maybe Roy's importance is...
Just a little...
Possibly...
Overrated?
For us? Yes. But for the Japanese:

Talking about the international promotion though, not Japan's.

But you have a point, regardless. Sakurai could easily bring roy back to appease the Japanese and western fanbase and make him unique.

I'd still like lyn though, I wanted a vergil esque flashy lai style for the longest time.

It's hard to say with Marth he is used ALOT in Melee but that is mainly because he's so good of a character, if you asked most top players why they use Marth that's probably the response you'll get, while with casual play you'll probably see more Roy users they both have their charm if you ask me.

Nobody said he's majorly important. Only that he's currently the most compared to the rest. If anyone's importance is overrated it's Chrom

For the record, they are both very similarly important.
-Ancestors of other Fire Emblem characters (like you mentioned before, only Roy's came afterwards)
-Stars of a game somewhat responsible for saving/reintroducing the series

I guess I have to make everything I say in joke/troll form for people to acknowledge it.
Let me try.

Anyways, what does everyone think of the idea of a 55 character roster.
Is it completely out of the question?

What would your reaction be if the 3rd Fire Emblem character we got was from FE14?
Honestly, I think FE14 might actually be an FE6 remake. IIRC, when asked what FE games they wanted to see in the future, answers from devs were Marth remakes (11&12), Fire Emblem All Star Game (13 due to SpotPass&DLC probably), and Roy remake (14?). But in terms of an actually new FE14, I'd really have to see how the character plays and looks.

Chrom being the ancestor of Marth adds more to Marth's importance, not Chrom's. Considering that's who he's based off of. Just like Eliwood is based off of Roy. Not vice versa.

Slots or Characters?

Characters, Likely, Slots, not likely. That's my opinion.

I still say, ideal Fire Emblem roster would be: Marth, Ike, Roy, Lyn.

Japan gets Marth & Roy
US / EU gets Ike & Lyn

All are the most favorite Lords in their region. All have been in Smash in some shape and form.

Now blast me for liking swords.

lol no 1-2range
lol swordlox
lol no CON for axes
lol for most expensive weapon but still weakest

**** IT I KNOW!

yes, it will never happen. NEVER. I'm serious, a smash with exactaly 55 characters will most likely NEVER happen.

unless smash 5 happens and proves me wrong

Oh if a FE6 remake happens there better be a FE7 one as well.

I'd buy those in a heartbeat.
