Hey can you do something for me real quick

I want you to pick up :ultmarth:, just for a bit. Learn his playstyle, learn his strengths and weaknesses, get super into him, do a bunch of online matches with him, etc etc

Then pick up literally any other non-echo FE character and try to play them like you played :ultmarth:
Yeah, the WAY you play a Swordie is different (Hell, Lucina is one of my secondaries), but at the end of the day the movesets are to similar to justify having all of them.

If you could add two characters to every playable series in Smash, who and why?

I think Stage Builder is 100% confirmed and we should all get our hopes up.
I bet they had to remake the stage builder not just because the Switch's touch screen is inferior to the Wii U's, but because players can't access it while in TV mode.

I mean the only non echo swordies that one could somehow possibly construe as not unique are Marth, Roy, and Ike

Marth sure as hell ain't getting cut anytime soon

Ike is literally the only heavy swordsman we have

Roy is unique in that he's a swordsman who has to fight upclose, and his whole gimmick of using his sourspots to combo into sweetspots is entertaining and unique as hell

So IDK which one of them you could cut without getting rid of something unique and fun, man.

There's a lot of series that could use some more reps, Kirby, DKC, Metroid and Star Fox come to mind, and I think they've barely scratched the surface with Fire Emblem, Mario and Pokemon.

That's gonna take a while for responses. I'll only do Yoshi

Poochy: Because he's the closest to a "reoccurring cast member" the Yoshi series has, and gatekeepers look for that for some reason. Plus he's blessed as ****!!!

Boshi: He needs to come back BADLY!!! :yoshi:

Maybe it’s because I’m more familiar with XC2 than with X so Rex & Pyra/Mythra’s moveset potential appeals to me more than Elma’s. That said, although depending on who they go with, a different FE character has the potential to be unique, I think I’d pick Elma solely on wanting to see more Xenoblade representation despite me not being that impressed with X so far.

With the only characters I feel that's left to complete those would be Bandana Dee, Dixie, Sylux and Leon.

I would personally cut Roy and Corrin and replace them with an Axe user and Bow user. Neither of them seem popular enough to be worth keeping around (Though, I could be wrong about that.) Anyways with the FIVE generic swordsman we have (Tho, I do think Ike may be an outlier, he still fits into this category), we could cut at least one or two. You'll live.

cutting unique movesets and characters for the sole purpose of filling some kinda fictional quota sounds dumb imo but hey you do you different tastes and all that

step 1: spam sh aerials in the general direction of your opponent
step 2: fall off the stage and get gimped and ****ing die

...chrom is hard
I think Chrom is one of the few bad characters in this game, solely because of that. The only other bad ones I can think of are Mac and Kirby. Bowser Jr and Duck Hunt aren't bad, but I think they could benefit from a couple buffs.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

If you're going to add so much Fire Emblem, at least make the movesets interesting.

In all seriousness though, I don't want either series getting another rep so soon, at least for the Fighter's Pass.

What fictional quota. I don't know how Soccer Guy or Nintendo thinks, but if I were in charge I would pick fighters by popular demand or the most fun and unique movesets, Roy in particular doesn't seem to fit either of these, but I mean if you love Roy so much, then fine.

Change Roy to Chrom or Lucina and you’ve got yourself a deal.

I think there will definitely be DLC after the fighter's pass, I wouldn't mind seeing either series getting a unique rep in a separate DLC pack.

Idk, Intelligent Systems seems a lot like Unintelligent Systems to me sometimes.
