I'm hoping I can find an Ike Amiibo in some store near where I live. I'm SOL with Shulk though.
Yeah, unfortunately you're probably not going to see many Shulks around, if any. They're already all taken over here (which I'm sort of surprised about, but not entirely).
I wonder if my local is taking pre-orders on Robin and Lucina yet - they're not up on the website yet, at least.

speaking of amiibo silliness, some guy wants ten grand for a misprinted Diddy Kong, and someone else wants £1000 for a Marth with two swords

Robin is just more of a interesting character then Marth seeing as how he/she is the first Fire Emblem rep who can use magic, throw used up equipment like the tomes and levin sword and has the first ever healing move in Nosferatu.

They went up on the Nintendo Store extremely stealthily and sold out before I had any idea that they were there. :sadsheep:

On the bright side, though, at least we have a Robin player in Top 16, which is pretty impressive compared to the nearly 800 entrants to the event. That'll help Robin's visibility.

Hopefully, the metagame will advance rapidly so that we can get more ATs, and more strategies to add to our repertoires.

Oh Dear God, I stay away from computer for a few days and there's 10 pgs full of words for me to read.
You people talk too much :4pacman: that's why I love you guys

TBH now that we have a new main-series game on the way, I have minimal care levels for if SMTxFE ever comes to be.

I would care more if it was like, Devil Survivor or Persona characters, but I really don't care for any of the main series protags.
Oi, what about Hitoshura from Nocturne


He's one of the most op chars in the game <3

Ninian? Who is?
*googles*
Oh... o.o


Why is everyone in Fire Emblem so beautiful?
Ninian is awesome. I want this dancer girl from the new game to be her decendant of sorts :happysheep: I can't help but see similarities. Everywhere.

Anyway, anyone doing a Robin cosplay HAS to post a pic here, ok? <3 I don't care if it's well done or whatnot, just post 8D

...I wonder if I can preorder Robin Amiibo to where I live :s Feels impossible to me.

Missed Nairo games with Robin. Where I can watch them?

Oh yeah, I finished Hector hard mode with a total of 25 resets (had a lot of luck too) ;p it was fun. Really missed more interactions between characters. Canas for example got my interest, but there's so few supports.
Picked Sacred Stones next and Seth is pretty much a beast ;p

Man, that stinks. I'm really worried that I won't be around when the pre-orders are up for Wave 4; I really want Robin and Lucina, and I have a feeling that both will sell out quick. :(

Hey, at least you have a chance. 8D
Where I live, Amiibos aren't even available, and I doubt they'll ever come here, with Nintendo pulling outno!notthat! of the market. :sadsheep:
...well, truth to be told, I'm sure they would be expensive as hell too, if they were available, something around $50-60, if I did the math correctly.
...maybe someone can send me surplus from Europe?:happysheep: wishful thinking! let me dream

Meanwhile, I have zero new preorders for anything other than Wave 3. :cry:

Well I'm back from the convention and I'm feeling pretty worn out from all the fun and excitement. Didn't enter the Smash tournament there since the whole thing was a bit of a mess. It was a cap of 128 people and played a best of one match with 2 stocks. Between that and the fact that I really didn't want to be stuck in the gaming room that long, I didn't feel it was worth it. I barely even played Smash 4 through out the con, since they only had one setup, occasionally two, playing Smash 4 outside of the tournament. the main one was playing 8 player smash all the time. I think I only played a collective amount of 5 games and won 2 of them.

I found plenty of other FE copsplayers including: Robin (not including me) Hector, Jaffar, Chrom, Lucina, Inigo, Donnel, Tharja, Henry, Marth, Olivia, Gaius, Miriel, Gangrel, and Lute. We had a Fire Emblem photoshoot where we had a good time and took some photos. Had a lot of people compliment my Robin both in cosplay and in the few times I played Smash. I cosplayed Minato as well on Saturday since 1/31 is a rather important day in Persona 3, had some fun with that as well. Found several other cool cosplays, got plenty of pictures, and had a really good time. Though it was pretty funny that almost everyone who recognized me as Robin, mentioned something about tipping the scales. That got me thinking for the next con I go to, I'm going to carry a little scale with me. :seuss:

I'll probably post them on the fan art thread since I've got quite a bunch of photos I took from the con. I did find a couple other people playing Robin, but once they saw me and watched me play they realized I was cosplaying Robin for a good reason.

It is always really cool to see someone cosplaying as a character in a fighting game, and watch them play really well with said character. I found someone cosplaying as the Villager and he was really good with them too. Didn't get to see any other smash cosplayers matching up, but was still fun.

Good to know that you met so much people cosplaying Fire Emblem, I cosplayed as Robin on saturday and I found a really good Lucina and a Marth. Sadly I couldn't find more people cosplaying FE and not so many ones recognized me as the tactician but the people that recognized me where really exited. I had a good time doing my first cosplay and was a good experience.
Still played some friendlies in the Smash 4 setup and I made people respect Robin with the Nairplane. Maybe I put some pics in the fan art but well, good that you could pose with a FE group. At least I got some nice pics with Lucina.

Plus he is the first Fire Emblem smash character to have a projectile. The only one. Ever.

I like this
So what would Charizard's human form be?
Blegh

why would you want to see him as a human



....try imagining him as the prince at the end, but auburn-haired

...Um, no.

To me, Roy is the Lefou of my little Charbin OTP. The cartoonish stooge of the main villain Gaston who's more than willing to assist him in any way he can. And Chrom himself is Gaston, because...

EDIT: Although after reading the headcanon of the fanartist who made this fine piece of work, I now accept the idea of Ike being Gaston, and Chrom being Lefou instead.

So I'm deliberately going after more nair-planes and good Naga it feels so good, yet so dirty. Gimping someone with double nairs and having them die at 50% doesn't feel right, but at the same time it's really satisfying to just watch them struggle effortlessly trying to come back.

It feels bad though when you're going in to Elwind spike someone like Mario, and they reflect it back and you are the one being spiked. :c

Forgive me for being a :079: but I just learned that you can choose your victory pose in every smash game, including Smash 4, by taunting right when its says "GAME!" So I did a bit of pointless testing as both :4robinf: and :4robinm: (most I ever played as him) for those just as behind the times as me.

Up: :4robinf: "A good tactician has nothing to fear." (that winning smile yo) :4robinm: "I'm always 3 steps ahead!"
Left: :4robinf: "Hah! Checkmate!" :4robinm:"The key to victory lies within."
Right, despite being the same taunt as left, brings in Chrom.
Down seems random but I could be wrong.

To activate the special quote vs :4lucina: hold left for :4robinm: and accept Lucina's judgment. For the obligatory sass, hold right as :4robinf: (if you're not doing this as :4robinf: you're not playing her right).

Well guys I'm going to be honest, Codename S.T.E.A.M. has actually managed to interest me. As long as the demo is just a small look and not what the whole game will be like, I'll be picking it up in March...

I was already in the "possibly will buy" category, but the demo sold me completely. Unfortunately we have to wait until May here (I know about the region lock thing, but I'm planning on upgrading to a New XL, so that probably won't work for me :/ )

I feel like Ike and Robin are the new Fire Emblem alphas of Smash. I think Marth has been dethroned.
Probably because Marth got nerfed from Brawl to 4.

Tho' Robin is pretty awesome.

How does he do that anyways?

Um, I am not sure, seeing as the spell is going up, it should send Robin up not down, though..... ARGH! My head hurts.
I am so using this later in my years, that to funny XD.

I was wondering about Mario. I never knew him to have any manner of reflect period. Next thing I know, I'm trying to Elwind him and I'm the one getting Elwinded...
