Time can ruin a person, I suppose. Two whole years. Oh, the amount of sheer vitriol I received from certain Roy fans over even daring to like Chrom...it ruined him a bit for me, to say the least. Years of being beat down and such, only to be given the ultimate false hope from the otherwise-100% accurate Gematsu (I'm still fully in the "it was 100% real" camp. It was just outdated: Sakurai outright said he made a Chrom moveset, and a Rhythm Heaven symbol was found with the character icons.), and then beaten down further...
It's not pleasant. Stayed on that sinking ship til the end, but in the end it was still a sinking ship. I'd gladly go down with it again, though.
