I mean, it's similar. But you can't really call it Chrom's outfit and a disconfirmation. A color swap could be a very close, but you'd be really grasping for straws to count out characters based on this. Who knows what we'll get.​

Like i said in a earlier the costume is from Hero status from Fire Eblem Radiant dawn if you saw the picture and chroms costume looks different from ikes this is the radiant dawn costume =



this is chroms costume
see the difference ?
Um, I conceded to certain points, but you are now just being a bit rude. I do see a difference. Yet I could post the exact pictures and ask if you see a similarity, because there are quite a few you may need to take note of.


Furthermore, If sakurai wanted them both in, I doubt he would use such similar designs.

I said two posts ago :

I concede, if Ike appears in this new game similarly; I wasn't aware the super giant shoulder pad and revealed arm look was so popular in Radiant Dawn. I really should play some Fire Emblem.
Yet, from an objective standpoint, it still makes Chrom seem signifiantly less likely.
Obviously Sakurai went to great lengths just to make Marth and Ike look more differentiated. From what I understand, Fire Emblem is a vast game; it may deserve three reps, but the three blue haired swordsman argument really gets to me.

Hello!
IKE! :D

And this doesn't affect Chrom (who's basically confirmed), people. :p Fire Emblem's a 13 game series. It can get three characters, haha.
"Basically confirmed"...based on what? Blind support? He has blue hair so he must be in it? He was in a game that came out? I'd really like to know.

I remember when Geno and Krystal and Ridley were "basically confirmed" during the Brawl era.

Oh come on. This might just kill the chances of an FE:Awakening rep unless Sakurai puts one more in. I'm only half happy about this.
Only way for that to happen now, cut Lucas and add in Chrom, FE is big enough for 3 reps, wasn't expecting May to get a character revealed, I just hope Ike's poor recovery is fixed this time around, he had the worst recovery in Brawl.

i don't think he would since 4 swordsman is enough in my opinion at least while i think another Fire emblem representative would be nice and for Chrom to be that rep and it would make since but i don't think we need to do something like a Ryu , Ken and Akuma example not to the say that they're the same thing or anything

I look at this as we're going to have 3 FE reps. Ike wasn't cut likely due to his popularity and unique moveset. Still could get Chrom, though I prefer they mix it up and give us a non blue hair male swordsman from FE; magic weilding Robin, Basilio, Basilio, Robin...

This is cool. Personally I prefer Roy but having Ike in here adds to the fun. Hopefully he plays better than in Brawl.

This sounds like you are making a case against Chrom. you don't think who would what?
And I dont even understand the Street Fighter reference.
It would be strange to have three blue haird sword wielders who are all the main protagonists of their games, when Chrom is only in one and Fire Emblem is a vast game of 200+ characters and incredible move potential. Meanwhile Ike is now sporting a similar design to Chrom, and Chrom would be the only character to be the lead (or even in) one game.

Flavor of the month. Bring in Anna.

Well he definitely looks bigger (stronger) than his brawl model. Do you guys think he will be a little slower this time around because of this size increase? Or just stay the same?

Ike's... back? They're not replacing him with another FE character? What? WHAT?

I don't know what to believe anymore.

This game needs more swords.
There are SOOOO many characters that fight with their hands and feet; it was getting a little redundant.

Roy was a clone and that is why he was replaced by Ike. Ike was original thus is not cut. No trend. It was one transition. I don't see why it's so hard to believe. Nothing against Roy or Ike or any potential newcomers. I just find it ridiculous that a one off is looked at as a trend.

I'm just going to delude myself into thinking there'll be 4 Fire Emblem reps. Then we could have all previous FE reps, while including a new one. And 4 is such a nice number. I have some no doubt that this will happen.

We like Ike, but is Roy our boy as well?

But seriously, he looks overwhelmingly badass. Hopefully every idiot who thought that Chrom was gonna replace him will shut up for once.
