At that point, you might as well just judge their skin color holy crap. How does it being from Fire Emblem matter when you admit to knowing jack **** about the series?
Because Fire Emblem has been done. I don’t like the idea of having to set aside a slot in every installment for another character from ANY series just because they change all their characters every time.

You can tell me the properties of Marth and Roy's swords are different, but you'll never convince me it's not just two dudes swinging their swords in very similar motions. Not everybody studies the comptetive scene to care about this.
It doesn't take a competitive player to notice that one has tipper sweetspots and the other has hilt ones.

I haven’t played three houses. Nor do I intend to. It’s not my cup of tea in gameplay, setting, or aesthetic. He’s done Fire Emblem 7 other times. I wanna see something new. Not just a new weapon. A new thing period.


Wonderful 101
Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem
Astral Chain
Dillon’s Rollin Western
Rhythm Heaven.
Mysterious Murasame Castle
Golden Sun
Arms
Devils World
Famicom Detective Club
Mach Rider

Plenty of new toys to play with without needing to raid someone else’s toy box. And without breaking out the same playset for the eighth time. I don’t care what be excessories you bought. I wanna play with something else.

I’m gonna run this analogy into the GROUND

Well yeah. This is true too. Well, at least for Mario. Maybe not Zelda. But definitely Mario.

Forgot about Geno. Damn it.


Like what? A different protagonist with a different personality? A new weapon? Not enough. Because it’s still Fire Emblem.
This just seems like such a backwards way of looking at things to me. We play as characters, not franchises. I'd take an interesting character from a pre-existing series long before some schlock like Earthworm Jim or something just because it's new.

"I don't like it so it's wrong and it doesn't belong in my Smash game"

Just admit it, that's exactly what this argument is.

But we're saying Three Houses doesn't just give you a different character. It's soundtrack has hip hop, trap, and dubstep, the general structure of Fodlan and the academy can make interesting stages, and its cast all have visually unique characteristics and designs.

Like the only thing it shares with other FE games from a first impression standpoint are turn based strategy rpg, the artist, and the fact that it's from Fire Emblem.

But it sures take an imagination to say the two characters don't just swing their swords in near similar motions.

Not implying Fire Emblem fans do this, but why is it a fan-rule that Zelda characters can't be in due to being one-shots yet this doesn't apply to Fire Emblem?

Always found that confusing me.

Here's a repost from the old thread by the user The DanMan051 for context.

"Time to contribute some madness:

Which roster would y'all prefer-- Ultimate's roster or the "Chihuahua roster": https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77071304

Strawpoll here: https://www.strawpoll.me/17716462/r

For reference, this is a super infamous gamefaqs user who wants Sakurai fired and thinks they'd do a better job."
Thanks, DanMan, hope you don't mind me digging up this old post.

So, now you should be educated, brain cell loss aside.
Obviously the Chichuhahua roster is superior. Additions such as Bowser. Jr, Villager, every Third Party, and every single Fire Emblem character ruined the franchise. And such icons like Savvy Stylist, all four Champions, Lana from Pokemon, and the Girl from Haji no Mori, are just what it needs to reclaim it's name.

I liked your reply even though you called my boy Jim "schlock," that's real friendship. I might have had to get stabby if it were someone else. Haha

probably because Zelda hasn't really got any one shot characters in smash yet, other than Sheik

Man Awakening's story is weird. It predominantly focuses on Chrom in one third, slowly gives Robin more importance by having him singlehandedly develop the strategies to defeat Valm, and then the last section is dedicated to discussing Robin's importance in the story. The final map and ending is literally dedicated to him (even the song, Id Purpose).

2014: wtf is this kid icarus crap
2019: Wanting Medusa to be Palutena's echo, ignoring Hades and Viridi's superior popularity just to fill the give-everyone-an-echo quota.

A very, very small part of me is still irritated that Magnus isn't a playable character.

Edit: the sad thing is that it dawned on me that nobody probably remembers him.
Magnus is really perfect for an AT. He's a minor character who helps Pit but you never really explore what makes him tick throughout the story. Maybe in the eventual 2037 sequel.

Since we're nearing that time of year again, does anyone remember how people thought Medusa or Skull Kid would be our "Halloween" rep?

Made it even more difficult to take seriously when Simon was just revealed.

I heard about Skull Kid, but I never knew people considered Medusa.

We should totally have a group PM for discussing SW/SH. Ya know, a group PM were the national dex isn't brought up every other minute.

If anybody does want that, let me know and I will make it.
