And the fire sword.

Yep, that adds A LOT, ooh you can have like swinging swords and stuff... BUT WITH FIRE! It's a lame excuse and you know it :p
No, there being more people that like Roy then Chrom.

Personally I don't really care either way.
Hmmm... Are you underestimating Chrom fangirls? But then again I'm sure Roy has more of a fanbase among those that actually play smash... Meh whatever I'll keep pushing Robin even though it probably won't happen =D

Roy having a fire sword and having different attributes made him cater to different players. I know my brother loved Roy, and I loved Marth more.

I'll admit that a large reason for me liking Chrom so much is because Awakening is my first Fire Emblem game. I just like Chrom.

My guess is that regardless of who gets in, either Roy or Chrom, they will probably end up with moderately unique moveset. It wouldn't be entirely unique, but it would be different enough from the other two.

The way I see it, if development on a FE6 remake is in progress, then I could see Roy getting in. However, if that is not the case, I think we're going to get Chrom.

Oh my god a clone with a different playstyle? WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO? I feel like I can mindlessly bash Roy all day =P

Just out of curiosity, but why did you decide to have Rosalina in your roster?
It's generally a way to represent Super Mario Galaxy, besides stage inputs. I know that Rosalina's inclusion may not happen, but Daisy and Waluigi wouldn't do any better, as the former only appeared in one mainstream title, while the latter has no mainstream involvement whatsoever.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO FIRE EMBLEM DISCUSSION!!!!!

I'm still in full support of the Tactician. While it may not be as popular as Chrom or Roy, it would definitely add more variety to the FE roster being a magic/sword wielder. I would also say it's more important than Chrom in Awakening (of coarse, it's debated), and more important to the series overall having appeared in multiple games, which is why I really would be dissapointed to see Chrom or even Roy instead.

Likelihood....not very, I'll admit, but I think a lot of people, myself included, would rather see someone that doesn't use just a sword and isn't just a one-off as the next rep.

I agree completely, however, I also have Roy in my roster too.

They could always change his moves, besides possibly using a lance I don't see what Chrom brings to the table and it seems like people want him in just as a advertisement to FE13.

My ideal line-up would be Marth, Ike, Tactician, and Roy in that order, but I prioritized other characters before Roy in my roster, so I left him out. Hell, there are still many others I'd add before Roy.

Also, I should point out that Chrom doesn't use ONLY a sword. It's just his signature weapon. The Tactician, on the other hand, can vary between a sword-based A moveset, and a magic-based B moveset and aerial game.

Fan service and a flaming sword.

I know, but if Chrom were in Smash, that would probably be the only weapon he'd use. That's why I've always been more with Robin.

I'd like to mention that I like Chrom because i'm just a fan of him to start.

However, there is a harsh reality that people need to face. Because it's a business, Sakurai is going to go to Intelligent Systems and ask who they want. As i've said, unless there are plans to revive Roy and his game, then I quite honestly see no reason why Intelligent Systems would decide on Roy. Again, unless he is going to be back in a remake which is entirely possible.

On the other hand, this may not be the case. Intelligent Systems may be very proud of their Fire Emblem: Awakening. We've already seen Arena Ferox as a stage. If you ask me, it would be incredibly strange for Roy to be in Smash Bros. with a stage that is from a completely different installment in his series. A stage may not confirm a character, but it comes pretty damn close. For example, if everyone is going to get a boner over the boxing ring stage because they think it confirms Little Mac, then there can't be a double standard that Arena Ferox doesn't confirm Chrom. (I think both stages hint at said characters, but there isn't any confirmation yet obviously)

What do I think? I think we get Chrom. While I do like him, I must admit that recency is his biggest helper. The best case scenario for me would be Marth, Roy, Ike and Chrom, but I think we all know that that isn't going to happen. I'm holding out hope that Roy can be DLC if he doesn't make the roster because then everybody will be satisfied.

Also, I will say that Roy's inclusion in Project M is interesting. Basically it's a reprise of Roy in Melee, but hey the problems Roy had is being patched up.

See. Like. I don't have any legitimate ties to any FE character outside of FE:SS. So, for me, **** Ike/Marth clone, Marth clone, and Marth clone. (Chrom, Roy, Lucina)

So naturally, Tharja, Eirika, Ephraim, Black Knight, Hector, Lyn, Caeda, Micaiah, ect are all better choices to me. I think it's why I like Medusa more than Palutena.

I still don't understand Tharja. Shes not a main character. She doesn't even play a role in the main story.

She's ****ing awesome.

So Geno, basically. Or like, a "fan favorite" type situation. Like every other FE choice besides Marth, Ike, Roy, Chrom, and Lucina. lol. I mean, honestly. We're never getting anything cool from that series. We all know that is fure sure.


Most reasons i've seen are because of what she wears. Or because she's a waifu. I can't even remember what reasons i've seen that make sense unfortunately.

Black Mage smasher ftw.

Why? Why would you do that? Its just mean. I'll never understand HATING Justin Bieber, and One Direction so passionately.

And, they're cute as ****, so that probably has to do with it.

You had me sold with Tetra (Main focus) and SS Tetra.

And I really think Junior is a dream. That's it. He suffers from what I think will ultimately be Krystal's demise. Sakurai doesn't give much ****s for newer parts of games.

Just kidding. :p I'm neutral towards Bieber, and I like What Makes You Beautiful.

Yeah, I don't understand this either. I don't see people getting really excited about a Pilotwings character or Nintendog just because of a stage. It's also possible that Sakurai has them in to show off their games as a result of not having any characters planned.

oooh. Fire Emblem and stage discussion.

Perfect place to say that I pulled out Brawl today so that I could have a nostalgiattack with Toon Link and Peach.

I was playing on the Castle Siege stage, and I guess I never really paid all that much attention before but, IT'S BEAUTIFUL. The details are gorgeous.
And you know when you transition into the throne room part, THERE ARE KNIGHTS IN THE BACKGROUND.
Holy crap! I never realized that. It made me want the Black Knight as a playable character, (won't happen though), and for a badass FE stage for the Wii U. I'm generally a Mario and Sonic kind of guy, but Ike was my dude in Brawl, and all of these beautiful, intricately armored human beings form the FE series are getting me excited for a FE character reveal. I want, Marth, Roy, Ike, Lyn, Maiciah, Black Knight, Sothe, Chrom and Lucina now.

But I'll settle for Ike and a cool Wii U Stage. And Sonic. And Mewtwo. And Falco.
