Total Fire Emblem Lineup Discussion (UPDATED with FE10 info)

[Deleted member]

I wish there was a purpose built Nintendo swordsman fighter, then we could really sort things out...

Anyhow, I support Hector and Ephraim (weapon triangle), and Ike (two games). Marth is staying, obviously.

Dang, thats a lot of blue.

WARNING; DO NOT READ ANYTHING IN BLACK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Wow, I've been seeing a lot of solo Fire Emblem character topics here... but if you think about it, the entire FE lineup should be discussed as a whole. Unlike asking for other characters (Whether it be Sonic, Little Mac, DeMille, whatever), the inclusion of one FE character dramatically reduces the chances of other characters as a whole -- because there are only a limited number of slots.

So instead of picking which ONE FE character/lord has a chance of making it in, let's take a look at the lineup Nintendo will choose. Here's my analysis of each (Courtesy of FESS for the pictures, which are just necessary for showing who each lord is):

Marth - Lord of Dragon of Darkness (FE1) and Mystery of the Emblem (FE3).
Marth's chance isn't bad. He is, after all the first lord. Also, he's the only one to be the lord of two games. But since Fire Emblem isn't like Zelda, in that pretty much every other game takes place in a new world, he doesn't have that definitive attachment to the series. Still, he's the first. And he appeared in Melee. Frankly, I think his chances are bound to Sigurd's chances.

Verdict - 85% chance of returning. Higher if Sigurd doesn't make it.

FE Gaiden lords (Alm and Celica) - A resounding no for obvious reasons.

Sigurd - Lord of the Genealogy of the Holy War (FE4), first generation
Sigurd has a very good chance, because of his popularity (and Sakurai wanted to include him before). He could potentially replace Marth, which to me is kinda weird since he seems to have the power of Roy. But I'm thinking if Sigurd's in, Marth would have to go. Hey, they're also both Japan-only! (Which may change with the VC) Remember that! Too many blue-haired characters running around would be confusing. Although Ike is also blue-haired, he has a dramatically different outfit, too

Also, if the castle stages in the trailer are rom Fire Emblem, it has a pretty good probably of being Velthomer or Barhara, two castles from Grandbell in FE4, by a comparison of flags. (Most notably, the flags appear to be a sideways version of the animals that adorn the flags of Jugdral, the continent in FE4/5). If that's the case, Sigurd is 90% in. But since this is not definite yet...

Verdict - 70% Chance of making it. Higher if Marth doesn't make it.

Celice - Sigurd's son and Lord of the Genealogy of the Holy War, second generation
Celice... I doubt it. He didn't get mentioned in Sakurai's polls I believe. But if he does decide to go all clone-happy again, Celice might be Sigurd's clone -- maybe faster and weaker.

Verdict - No chance.

Leaf - Lord of Thracia 776 (FE5)
Poor guy. He did appear in FE4, and starred in FE5. But FE5 kinda failed (bad timing, really), and he isn't really popular either. Practically no chance... unless he was a clone (but they'd probably pick one of the other choices here as a clone. IF they use clones, god forbid).

Verdict - No chance.

Roy - Lord of The Sword of Seals (FE6)
Roy has a low chance in my opinion. He was only an advertisement, really. Eliwood would have a higher chance, but I even doubt it for Eliwood.

Verdict - 40% chance of returning.

Eliwood, Lyn, and Hector - Lords of The Blazing Sword (FE7)
Eliwood has a low chance, because he frankly isn't that popular (maybe he is in the US, but I'll explain that in a bit.) Lyn and Hector have pretty low chances as they had "co-starring" roles as lords. Also, they weren't mentioned in the poll, I think... (IIRC, the poll had a bunch of FE1 characters, Sigurd, and a handful of Path of Radiance characters. And for the record, yes the poll doesn't matter much because of its inclusion of ridiculous characters, BUT the characters there have better chances than characters that aren't. Think of it as a bare minimum list of candidates, in a way.) Just because they were in the first US game doesn't make them nearly as popular in Japan. (Yes, I know Sakurai said he'd try to hold back on Japan-only stuff, but the characters should be at least pretty popular in Japan to begin with). However, Lyn is still reasonably popular. Her sword style is different, and she's female. Hector also gets a small boost because of his axe-lord awesomeness.

Verdicts:
Eliwood: 10% chance
Lyn: 50% chance
Hector: 40% chance

Ephraim and Eirika - Lords of The Sacred Stones (FE8)
Ephraim and Eirika are really screwed. They don't have much popularity at all... Only thing Ephraim has going for him is his unique spear-wielding abilities...

Verdicts:
Ephraim: 40% chance
Eirika: No chance

Ike - Lord of Path of Radiance (FE9)
Ike has a VERY good chance of getting in. Ever since PoR, he's topped Sigurd in popularity. Not only that, he's also very popular in the US. He's also the star of so far the most recent FE (but not for much longer). He's been in the polls, AND he has a unique fighting style. (Aether will definitely be in the game >| ) Also, he's known internationally. Wait, can it get even better? Yes it can.

*SPOILER*




Ike is one of the lords in FE10, making him the only playable lord TWICE, other than Marth. Of course, he's also the most recent, so that just gives him even better chances.



*/SPOILER*

I don't really need to say more.

Verdict: 99.9% Ike WILL be in Brawl.

*HUGE SPOILERS FOLLOW!!!!!!!!!*
Micaiah - Lord of Goddess of Dawn (FE10)
Micaiah is indeed the lord of the new Fire Emblem. However, the fact remains that she is a mage, and that just makes it harder for them to implement her. However, she does have a handful of outfits to choose from :D. But anyways, let me make this clear about the possible FE10 leaders. All of them have a lower chance, simply because uses up a solid Tellius slot. With characters from Jugdral (FE4/5) and Elibe (Roy/Lyn/Hector) competing for representation of other FE worlds, characters from Tellius are gonna have much less priority. Because of that...

Verdict - 60%

Sothe - Protagonist in Goddess of Dawn
Sothe had a good chance. His knives offer something different than swords -- probably a really quick Sheik-like play style. Also, he can kick like a badass in the movies. AND he's been in FE9 as well. However, he has a couple problems. One, he isn't the main lord. Two, knives are frowned upon, according to Sakurai. Sure, Sothe can still kick like a badass, but he isn't Sothe without his knives. Also, he has the Ike-pwning-Tellius factor going against him

Verdict - 40%

Elincia - Queen of Crimea, and central character in Part 2 and part of Part 4
Elincia has a very small chance. Again, she's a sword user, which doesn't exactly help. Her role wasn't the main role in either story, even thoguh she was a very important supporting character. Yes, she does have a lord role a few times in FE10, but that's not enough. Again, she has the Ike-pwning-Tellius factor going against her.

Verdict - 1%

Tibarn - King of Phoenicia, and a lord character in part of Part 4
I would really love to see Tibarn in Brawl. He's definitely the defition of badass... He can fight well in human form, and also transform for a whole aerial moveset. Like Sothe, he appeared in both games as well. However, like Elincia, his role wasn't central to either game. And once again, he has the Ike-pwning-Tellius factor going against him.

Verdict - 20%

Black Knight - NOT A LORD.
The Black Knight isn't a lord. Yes, he appears in FE10. Yes, you can control him. Yes, I think I know who he is. That doesn't mean **** though. The Black Knight will NOT make it in Brawl. He's way too overpowered (can you imagine throwing a huge pile of armor around, or have him jumping around!?), his role wasn't central enough, he was a cliche character, he has the Ike-factor going against him, and again, he's too ridiculously strong. I just put him here so I could say that. His ONLY ONLY ONLY possible chance is because he's an antogonist character. That gives him a 1% chance, with me being generous.

Verdict - 1%

As for all other non-lords: 0%

So overall, Ike definitely has a FE slot. Fire Emblem can have anywhere from 2 to 4 slots, practically speaking. Also, Marth will definitely be guaranteed if 3 or 4 slots are there. So given that, here are the most possible lineups in my opinion (1 being the most likely in each case):

Two slots
1. Ike and Marth
2. Ike and Sigurd
3. Ike and Lyn

Three slots

1. Ike, Marth, Sigurd
2. Ike, Marth, Lyn
3. Ike, Marth, Micaiah
4. Ike, Marth, Roy
5. Ike, Marth, Sothe

Four slots
1. Ike, Marth, Sigurd, Lyn
2. Ike, Marth, Sigurd, Roy
3. Ike, Marth, Sigurd, Micaiah
4. Ike, Marth, Roy, Sigurd
5. Ike, Marth, Sigurd, Sothe

You, like the makers of all the FE games apparently have a fetish for dudes with blue hair. Anyhow, here's how I break it down:

1. If Ike comes with Brawl, than the Black Knight will too.
2. Roy is honestly cooler than Marth so Marth will make not it back in (Search Marth dance guide)
3. Lords are cool and all but....
BOYD, NASIR, SOREN, and VOLKE PWN!!!!
So says Zues (Walks away)

 

[Brawlmatt202]

I'd like to take the time to say that the Fire Emblem character on the list with the least likely chance of beinf in Brawl is Eliwood.

Come on, he is just way too similar to Roy, am I right?

*sigh*

1. Why? The Black Knight most certainly isn't needed for Ike to appear. The opposite is true though. But even then, if Ike would bring any other character from Tellius with him (which I doubt, but it's possible), it'd be Micaiah, not the BK. I'm not claiming that I know who is and who isn't going to be in the game, but seriously, it's common sense.

2. Yeah, no. Marth is deserving, Roy, not nearly as much.
Roy is also unpopular for a Lord. Sure, Marth was not a very good Lord either, but if I'm correct the whole thing about Lords being uber-units started in FE4 which was after Marth's games anyway.
He was also in two games, one of which was the original Fire Emblem, compared to Roy's one game. Not to mention that Roy's game is not that popular anyway.
Simple as that, really.

3. Yes, they're pretty cool. In Fire Emblem, that is. They have no chance to get in Smash Bros though.

 

[Kirby knight]

Well considering Eliwood is Roy's dad...

Anyway, I think Marth will return, being in the first FE game paved the way for all fire emblem games that followed after. Not to mention starting in 2 games (I'm playing FE3 at the moment).

The only thing I don't want to see is over representation of one FE game. Some people like Ike and some people want the Black Knight, I highly highly doubt that they'll both(if any)get into brawl. If FE9 is going to get represented then Ike is going to be the posterboy.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

2. Roy is honestly cooler than Marth so Marth will make not it back in (Search Marth dance guide)

So says Zues (Walks away)

1. I've seen this been used a few times on this forum, and I honestly can't understand it. Why does BK automatically get in if Ike does? Ike can get in just fine on his own, and if he does bring someone from FE9 or 10, there are plenty of other characters like Micaiah, Sothe, Elincia and Tibarn (who are all main characters in someway in FE10) besides BK. In fact, I'd say BK simply has too much competition to be considered likely at all, and really his only saving grace is that he's a villain character, but that doesn't really warrant an inclusion in itself.

2. Komayto pretty much nailed it. Marth is far more significant to the FE franchise than Roy, so if one goes (which is very likely), then it'll undoubtedly be Roy. Marth's only drawback is that neither of his games were released outside Japan, and I can only see him going if Sakurai only wants one blue haired swordsman and believes Ike is a better choice. Roy however, while his game did revive the franchise, comes from a fairly unpopular game (all the GBA games didn't do too well in Japan), and his game never got outside Japan either. I personally liked Roy in melee, but I'd actually be more surprised if he actually returns in Brawl, as there are just too many things going against him.

3. Non-Lord characters are tricky. Technically they could get in, but the only thing that really makes them stand out is there popularity. They generally don't offer much to the storyline (considering as they can be killed of and forgotten about), and because there's very little difference between one unit to another of the same class, it'll be difficult to choose which one to choose over all the others.

That and all the characters you mentioned have some Lord equivalent anyway (Boyd and Hector, Volke and Sothe, and at a push Soren and Micaiah, though they use different magic types). The only one who doesn't really is Nasir, though I suppose Tibarn could vouch for a Laguz character (though Nasir and Tibarn are different tribes).

However, the idea that Sakurai will make the FE franchise rep each world is hard to argue. For all we know, he could just add characters from Tellius, especially seeing as it has two games now. Granted it'd be nice if he took characters from as many different games as possible, but it's hard seeing as there are 10 games and feasibly only 4 slots at the most. And seeing as I'm sure Sakurai doesn't want to upset the Japanese fans by adding the less liked GBA lords, and I believe he doesn't want to upset international fans either by adding one of the Japan only Lords (the only ones he could really get away with are Marth and Roy). Therefore, the Tellius games seem to be the only games that'll please everyone.

Of course I could be mistaken and Sakurai might want a large range of representation for the FE series, but I personally wouldn't be surprised if he does focus on the 3D games.

 

[Brawlmatt202]

Actually, I kind of agree with Volke. Even though he's secretive, he plays a major part in PoR, by telling Ike the story of his father.

He's also a pretty **** good fighter.

Though I'd have to say Sothe might be more likely then him.

 

[xianfeng]

Sothe isn't a lord, he's a Jeigan and Elinicia's chances are much higher than Sothe's considering she was actually popular in FE9 whereas he was hated, now they are both overshadowed, she's still better.

 

[Stryks]

BS on the black knight part in the 1st post, hell I dont know much about FE, but the fact that black knight is the enemy of ike in PoR (ike will surely be in brawl), and the fact that hes returning and now PLAYABLE makes his chances even higher, overpower? please mewtwo is the most powerful pkmn, and yet there he is, bowser is freaking huge and powerful in SM64, tada we got bowser, ganondorf has the triforce of POWER, and look at that hes in, please BK can be in brawl, and has a high chanc in making it...

 

[xianfeng]

No villain will get in until all the lords are in, it's unfair also Ephraim's chances should be much lower, FE8 was hated worldwide for it's lack of difficulty, a good plot or any character development.

 

[Stryks]

Im not saying BK should be in b4 everyone, im saying Ike gotta be in, and since BK is ikes main enemy, has appeared in 2 games, and is now playable, the guy has a chance...

 

[Komayto]

Bah, LukeFonFabre, awesome job making my post look bad.

Sothe isn't a lord, he's a Jeigan and Elinicia's chances are much higher than Sothe's considering she was actually popular in FE9 whereas he was hated, now they are both overshadowed, she's still better.

Actually, if I'm correct, Sothe's stat growths are not bad so he's not a Jeigan.
But I still don't understand how Sothe could get in considering that Micaiah and Ike are the two main characters of GoD. Sothe is pretty important too, but Micaiah would come before him and Ike would definitely come before Micaiah, so...

Yeah, that scenario wouldn't play out well.

 

[xianfeng]

Actually, if I'm correct, Sothe's stat growths are not bad so he's not a Jeigan.

Titania had good growths too. Sothe is a Jeigan becaus he is a promoted character that comes very early in the game with good stats, then most of the units can overtake him (They can have 30/30/30 levels, I'm pretty sure) and he has small exp gain.
Just because he has good growths and can turn out good doesn't mean that he isn't a Jeigan, Oifaye, Titania and Seth were all very good units.

But I still don't understand how Sothe could get in considering that Micaiah and Ike are the two main characters of GoD. Sothe is pretty important too, but Micaiah would come before him and Ike would definitely come before Micaiah, so...

Yeah, that scenario wouldn't play out well.

Elincia is more important than Sothe too, you know she's the main lord of the 2nd part of the game (then she becomes minor compared to Ike and Micaiah) but still she's important and more popular than Sothe and a female to boot. Tibarn too and he's a Laguz.

 

[Komayto]

Titania had good growths too. Sothe is a Jeigan becaus he is a promoted character that comes very early in the game with good stats, then most of the units can overtake him (They can have 30/30/30 levels, I'm pretty sure) and he has small exp gain.
Just because he has good growths and can turn out good doesn't mean that he isn't a Jeigan, Oifaye, Titania and Seth were all very good units.

Ah, okay. It's just that I never really considered characters who can be good in the end without massive experience-hogging to be Jeigans. I guess my understanding of the archetype was a little bit off then. I didn't think Titania was a Jeigan either.

Elincia is more important than Sothe too, you know she's the main lord of the 2nd part of the game (then she becomes minor compared to Ike and Micaiah) but still she's important and more popular than Sothe and a female to boot. Tibarn too and he's a Laguz.

True, but as you said, she too becomes minor compared to Ike and Micaiah, so that's why I didn't bother mentioning her.

Well I can assure you Titania was defiantly a Jeigan, she was even a Paladin to boot.

Spoiler

Sothe can however promote because there are now 3 promotion ranks.

True, but as you said, she too becomes minor compared to Ike and Micaiah, so that's why I didn't bother mentioning her.

Spoiler

Still more major than Sothe, plus she gets a whole section and she was more important to the story in both FE9 and FE10 and she has a custom Class, whereas Sothe has a generic one (there's another Rogue named Heathe) a

nd she was more popular than him in FE9. I'm not saying she stands a good chance but defiantly a better chances than Sothe.

I highlighted this for spoilers just in case

 

[Brawlmatt202]

True, but as you said, she too becomes minor compared to Ike and Micaiah, so that's why I didn't bother mentioning her.

Ike ane who, again?

 

[doctorzoidberg12]

I think roy is out marth is staying and if any other FE character come it's goin to be lyn because she was the very first lord in America and was the main character for part of the game.

 

[xianfeng]

But she was very unpopular in Japan (allthough Hector was more unpopular), Roy is out for sure and Marth is so back.

Brawlmatt202 the main character in Fire Emblem Goddess of Dawn is Micaiah or Mikaya.

 

[LemonManX]

Well, if Roy is out "for sure" then give us Sigurd.

Sigurd > Ike.

 

[Konuk]

Can anyone tell me why BK is a bad idea besides of his undetailed role in his game and that he's cliche' . He will make a great villian addition and Cool looking *cape says it all, all capes do*

 

[xianfeng]

Well, if Roy is out "for sure" then give us Sigurd.

Sigurd > Ike.

Ike is far more likely than Sigurd.

Ike: Worldwide - Sigurd: Japan only: Ike wins here
Ike: 2 game - Sigurd: One game: Ike wins here
Ike: Ranged Sword and Axes - Sigurd: Sword and Lances: draw
Ike: Worldwide popularity - Sigurd: One country popularity: Ike Wins here

Ike: 3.5
Sigurd: 0.5

Yeah Ike wins.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Not seeing Ira here makes me sad.

[xXIke-SamaXx]

i wich ike get in maY BE HE will be with vanguard costume he will be

very cool

 

[Diddy Kong]

Wait wait Xian, did I get this right? Ike gets AXES!? :D Well that doesn't really has anything to do with Brawl, since I'm pretty sure he'd have Ragnell there... But it's still good news! Now he's not only limited to swords, which are a little overused.

I don't get the big deal with Sigurd... Ike is world wide, MAIN hero of 2 games -since as far as I've seen he's still the most important character storywise in FE10- and more populair than Sigurd so Ike will clearly get priority over Sigurd.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

Sigurd has huge fanbase in Japan though, and almost everyone who's played his game seems to think he's awesome. However, the same goes for Ike, and due to being known internationally, I'd say he's probably more the most popular between the two worldwide. And seeing as Marth was the most requested FE character for melee, I'd say Marth is also more popular than Sigurd too.

And that's why I don't think Sigurd really has that high a chance, seeing as both Ike and Marth will no doubt get in before him, and then it seems a bit redundant to add another blue haired swordsman. Simply put, I can't really see Sigurd getting in the game simply because both Ike and Marth would get in before him, and with other unique characters from the franchise, adding another blue haired swordsman just seems like a waste to me. It's nothing personal against Sigurd, I just don't think his chances are as great as some people claim them to be.

Can anyone tell me why BK is a bad idea besides of his undetailed role in his game and that he's cliche' . He will make a great villian addition and Cool looking *cape says it all, all capes do*

Adding a villain from a FE game gives a lot of emphasis on their respective game. While villain characters are a nice idea, I really don't think that the FE franchise needs one, especially as there are so many of them and there isn't really one to represent them as a whole. And as 'cool' looking as the BK is, that's not really a reason to add a character into brawl, that and the look in general is generic itself.

To me, the BK doesn't really strike me as that interesting a character. He'd be a powerhouse swordsman, but seeing as Ike will most likely fill a similar role, it doesn't make him anything special. And while he appears in FE 10, he's still a fairly minor villain who seems more like Ike's rival than anything else.

That and the BK's true identity has been revealed now, but I'm not sure how that would affect his chances overall.

 

[Nintendo Advocate]

Im not a fan of Fire Emblem, and have actually never played the series. The first time that i've heard of the series was on Melee, when i was reading Roy's and Marth's trophys. To tell you the truth, in my opinon, these characters have the most chances of getting in:

Roy
Marth
Ike
Lyn
Black Knight

But, those are just my picks, and my opinon on who'll get in, not facts or anything. I don't hate the Fire Emblem crew, so don't flame me please.

 

[EnFerris]

Am I the only one who thinks freshly created characters don't have any place in Smash Bros? That's not without its exceptions, but I seriously think Ike needs a bit longer before he is considered a classic or All star lord. We need to see how time treats PAth of Radiance as a game. I've actually heard a lot of fire Emblem purists complain about it, although it is the only game I've played.

I think we need to distance ourselves from the fact that most of us have only played Path of radiance, and think about things in broaer terms.

 

[megachao24]

I can assume these characters likely for the Fire Emblem team:

Marth
Ike
Sigurd

The three above need no explanation, so I'll skip to the possible candidates for the fourth slot.

Roy: Although he is somewhat liked here in the U.S. and can have a new moveset, his chances of coming back are slim at best, and the fact that he's mostly a advertisment for his own game hinders his chances greatly. So, we may not see him back anytime.

Lyn: The first Lord the rest of the world see, and gain some pretty good first impression as a overall decent unit. Although she does have a much different sword play from other lords, she just can't cut it with the worldwide popularity guru that is Ike. Plus, the game did poorly in Japan, and only moderate across the globe. I'll say this; it's Sakurai's choice she deserves a spot or not.

Hector: The first and only axe lord in Fire Emblem. He has the most potenital for being the GBA rep and a unique moveset, but he also faces the same problem as Lyn... It's either he's in or not.

Ephraim: The first lord to purely use a lance the whole way through his game. Also has potenital for a unique moveset, but also faces the problem of any GBA lord, except worse.

Leaf: A side unit in FE4 and the star of FE5 (the hardest one). I am unsure how he may get in, though with the magic sword he may have diveristy in his moveset. Although a SNES lord, he does not be reconiziable enough to be a slot in the game though.

Mikaya: The new star of FE10, she is the most likely one to take that possible fourth slot. With magic on her side, she can be the magic rep of FE. Though I'm not sure she is guranteed for that slot however.


*gasps for air* Man that was longer that wanted it to be.

You've never played FE? Well, you really should, it's an awesome game! Path of Radience being the best so far!

Yes, I'd say your choices seem to have the best chances of getting in, although Sothe is also suspected to have a high chance, as well.

 

[xianfeng]

Not seeing Ira here makes me sad.

<=(

Ira has a 0% chance because she's generic.

Am I the only one who thinks freshly created characters don't have any place in Smash Bros? That's not without its exceptions, but I seriously think Ike needs a bit longer before he is considered a classic or All star lord. We need to see how time treats PAth of Radiance as a game. I've actually heard a lot of fire Emblem purists complain about it, although it is the only game I've played.

Fire Emblem pursists praise it for going back to the FE4 roots and PoR is on the best seller's list and Roy's game didn't come out for a month until after melee was released.

I think we need to distance ourselves from the fact that most of us have only played Path of radiance, and think about things in broaer terms.

Well it's a popular game worldwide, praised by FE fans, praised by reviewers, why not add in a representative from one of if not the most popular FE continent.

Ephraim: The first lord to purely use a lance the whole way through his game. Also has potenital for a unique moveset, but also faces the problem of any GBA lord, except worse.

Keep in mind according to the Japanese people FE8 was the second worst and according to the rest for our FE games, it was the worst.

Leaf: A side unit in FE4 and the star of FE5 (the hardest one). I am unsure how he may get in, though with the magic sword he may have diveristy in his moveset. Although a SNES lord, he does not be reconiziable enough to be a slot in the game though.

If anyone from Jugdral gets in, it will be Sigurd.

You've never played FE? Well, you really should, it's an awesome game! Path of Radience being the best so far!

Have you played the Japanese only FEs? Also FE9 was easy, not FE8 easy but FE7 HHM was harder than FE9 HM, if only Maniac Mode wasn't removed oh well FE10 has a maniac mode!

although Sothe is also suspected to have a high chance, as well.

Sothe is a Jeigan, he doesn't have high chances.

 

[EnFerris]

In any case, I think all the Swrod Lords could be rolled into Marth with alternate costumes. The alternate costume idea has seemed to fall by the wayside, but I am stilll a staunch supporter. Given the Ephraim hate I've been picking up on, myabe Sigurd should be included with a spear. I think I'll adjust my signature accordingly. Regardless, Ike is was too new for my tastes. I like characters that have withstood the test of time.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

To xian:

How is Ira generic? She is one of the most poular Female lords in Japan,not to mention she's just plain bad *** and good looking(From my perspective).

I think she would be great.But xian,do explain.

How is Ira generic? She is one of the most poular Female lords in Japan,not to mention she's just plain bad *** and good looking(From my perspective).

Ira's History

I think she would be great.But xian,do explain.

Not a lord
Not a main villain
Not a character of any special importance

She has 0% chance and she is generic in terms of Fire Emblem characters.

Did you even read the Link?Even though she isn't a lord,that doesn't make the character insignificant.

Your arguments are still lack luster....

Even though she isn't a lord,she isn't"Generic".Generic would be the enemies with no names.>_>

She still has to get in after Marth, Alm, Celica, Sigurd, Celice, Leaf, Roy, Lyn, Eliwood, Hector, Eirika, Ephraim, Ike, Elincia, Micaiah, Sanaki, Medeus, Alvis, Zephiel, Nergal, Lyon, Ashnard, Black Knight, Jeigan, Cuan, Oifaye, Marcus, Seth, Titania, Sothe and probably many others (those are the lords, the villains and the Jeigans) she has NO CHANCE.

Problem is with Ira, that she's not a Lord... And Lyn could easly have a similair moveset to her. Ira might be populair in Japan, but noone knows who she is in the West, where Lyn is very populair. Also, Ira was very difficult to recruit, so some people might not even know her.

Ira is killed more often than she is recruited.

Depending if Sakurai keeps his promise to consider the people outside japan,Lyn,without a doubt,would be more preferable(I like Lyn alot anyway,one of my favorite characters).

But the akward thing is...Ira is more popular than Lyn in Japan.

If Lyn is in the game,I would like her to be in Blade Lord form+Manni Katti.Sol Katti sucked.>: (

One suggestion I've heard a couple of times is to put Ira in the game in the Japanese version, but have an alternate skin that is Lyn, and when it's released internationally, Ira is replaced by Lyn, so Sakurai can please both fanbases. It doesn't strike me as a very likely option, but it seems to be the best way for Lyn to enter brawl. Personally, I'd love Lyn to be in brawl, but unfortunately it doesn't seem that likely.

And yeah, what was up with the Sol Katti sucking? You'd think that her most powerful weapon would, you know, actually be her most powerful weapon.
