Luigi is a HUGE icon to video games. Marth is very far from that. You are such a ****.
Lol run aways scared cuz you know you're about to be PWNED!
Marth, no popularity? What?! Does the word Japan, mean nothing to you? I mean, this entire game practically revolves around them! Marth has a hell of a lot more popularity than you care to believe. Fire Emblem (Classic Fire Emblem since they're the best games [polls and all say so]) actually have popularity that is which on par with that of the Legend of Zelda! Now if you're going to argue that Legend of Zelda isn't popular, you are then an absolute idiot. Conclusion statement, Marth is NOT unpopular nor "Far from being a video game icon" Fire Emblem (1-3) was INCREDIBLY well received in Japan (else there wouldn't be a third remake of this game [hyped out to make it oh so mother f*cking awesome])
As for your stilly, yet persistant point about blue hair, YES THEY DO HAVE BLUE HAIR! WE GET IT! SAMUS AND PEACH ARE BOTH BLONDE! LINK AND ZELDA ARE BOTH DIRTY BLONDE! (Omg they're from the same game it cannot be!) Just because his hair is a little unorthadox to that of which you're used t, it isn't really a reason for you to assume that they shouldn't be allowed, even returning for that matter.
Which is another thing that a lot of you people seem to forget. HE IS A RETURNING CHARACTER! Which means that even with Sigrud, Leaf, and Roy, Marth STILL made it out on top to be in the smash bros roster. Which again means that he won't simply be ditched because of any silly circumstances as to that of looks.
If you're going to bring up looks again, we'll bring up a slightly deeper analysis of the characters.
Ike: Common mercenary (well not really since his sword is CRAZY and can shoot stuff) ragged clothes a freakin' headband, steel toed boots, not even a real cape but what looks like an old tablecloth wrapped around his neck (it's tied like something he found on the ground) Face it, he lives in the dirt! (litterally... those of you who've beaten RD you know what I mean)
Marth: Freakin' prince! which means symbol of high authority (in this case a tiara as a momento of his sister in addition to it's original representation of military power) clean, SHINY, emphasis on SHINY breastplate and shoulder guards, GOLD LINED tunic, WHITE PANTS, which is probably one of the largest indications to that of he keeps clean, classy leather traveling boots, which are actually wrapped from the ankle to the knee in some sort of material in which I can't really decipher. (Even his boots keep clean! At least the top of them anyway) Marth, clean cut prince. Ike, dirty mercenary.
And since you oh so cleverly pointed out that they are swordsman, I'm going to counter with this.
SO WHAT?! Meta knight is too! So is Link, Pit (sorta) and probably even Ganondorf! What's wrong with another unique moveset to make things different on the battlefield? Yes Marth's moveset is DIFFERENT! Unlike... hm... what was the example you brought up, Luigi?! who only has... 1 or two different moves on his own. Marth and Ike share only 1 move, (down B) OMG CLONE!!!!!???? No Luigi = clone if that's that way you think.
I could keep going but not only is this post long enough, but it's a regurgitation of everything on the first post. Not only that but it's rather pointless now since you left the thread with your tail between your legs knowing you were on the verge of being proven wrong. (indication of a sore loser? I don't wanna play online with this guy)
'whew' that's a mouthful... I'm hungry now...
Okysho out!!!
Marth for brawl!!!
