Real talk. Why is Lyn not in over Chrom when she's more popular when Smash veterans know of her because of assist trophies and FE fans acknowledge her as the most popular lord. What gives Nintendo?

Which game is that, Heroes?

I'm a dumbo it's Warriors; Heroes is mobile.

Chrom is an echo, so he requires less resources than Lyn who most likely would have to be a newcomer due to her focus on Iaijutsu or quick draw.

Which game is that, Heroes?

Fire Emblem Warriors.

Erdrick is almost guaranteed to be in as everyone and their grandmothers are saying they have proof of him. (Verge, Tansut, Hitagi, PolarPanda, Xenother, Etc.)

When did Polar say Erdrick was in?

Master Chief is Deconfirmed, Cuphead is Deconfirmed, Dante is Deconfirmed, Travis Touchdown is Deconfirmed.

I hope that Steve could at least get in Smash through a possible 2nd Fighter Pass.

Sad to see Travis, Dante and Chief deconfirmed for Ultimate doh.

Happy about Erdrick.

They didn't have to make a new model or moveset. Despite criticism of Chrom's model, he doesn't have the specific corner cuts AT models have.

 

[PsySmasher]

Which game is that, Heroes?

It's from Fire Emblem Warriors.

 

[PeridotGX]

Here's an interesting video.

Maxwell? Exellent taste.

Calling BDee a generic enemy? Mediocre taste.

Sans is trash? Terrible taste.

I'll still watch his videos, but with disgust.

I haven't checked up on leaks since Grinch got busted, what's new and floating around?

Were obviously getting Joker this month and maybe a direct whether next or the end of the month.

@ShinyLegendary Why tho

What did I do again?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Master Chief is Deconfirmed

I thought that was debunked?

Chrom was probably the most easily implementable Smash character in history, being a clone with a pre-existing model.

 

[Deleted member]

Which game is that, Heroes?

I don’t think so.
It shows an “X” buttom, impossible to have on a phone game.

Maybe it is FE Warriors or Awakening.

Chrom was probably the most easily implementable Smash character in history, being a clone with a pre-existing model.

Lyn kind of has a pre-existing model too doh.
Sure, it is an assist trophy model, but still a model nonetheless.

Because Lyn flinging around that katana like Roy wouldn't look too great.

Chrom at least feels looks he's an aggressive all-or-nothing fighter.

Plus the Assist Trophy Lyn model looks awful on any closer inspection, while the Chrom Final Smash model looks... relatively decent.

We knew the windbox was huge, but this is how it is. Crazy, considering how much smaller most stages are.

This is also what people think of 's d-air and u-air.

 

[Deleted member]

Which game is that, Heroes?

Fire Emblem Warriors. The Dynasty Warriors Fire Emblem game.

Chrom is an echo, so he requires less resources than Lyn who most likely would have to be a newcomer due to her focus on Iaijutsu or quick draw.

Truthfully, I would have accepted Lyn as an echo if they went the extra mile with Chrom as an echo by giving him some of everything.

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

**** I meant Warriors I'm dumb.

Don't forget that "GeNo iS a FiRsT pArTy"

Seriously get your crud together Intro, Also Sans is not trash Sans is amazing and is in Smash.

Even more than the character that was criticized for being a recolor?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

While y'all were sleeping I was on that NUZLOCKE GRIND.

It wasn't pretty.

This is Part 9 of my Generationlocke, and Part 6/8 of the Sacred Gold portion of the run

Spoiler

Summary:

Recap:

• With Lance out of the way, we can now access Kanto.
  • Hooray!!!!! /s
    • Arceus why can't this be over?
• Foci (Staryu -> Starmie), Trish (Chimchar -> Infernape), and Simba (Luxio -> Luxray) are added to fill the vacancies left behind in Lance's wake.
  • To the surprise of absolutely nobody, none of them make it out of this update alive.
• Drayano made some changes to the sequence of Kanto so you face the Gym Leaders in the order you face them in the original Kanto games.
  • Neat
• After an uneventful S.S. Anne, we move on to Pewter City
  • Apparently we're supposed to get more Hoenn starters here, but whatever.
  • I do backtrack to get the other two Sinnoh starters though.
• Brock goes down easy to a combination of Leafy and Foci.
• Up next is Route 3. Let's get Blue some levels since she'll be useless again-
  • Blue gets hard countered
    • 
      • You'll find this is a recurring trend this update.
• Okay, fine, whatever. Swoosh (Swablu -> Altaria) is added.
  • I really hope Swoosh makes it to the end since I love Altaria and would love to have it in further runs.
• Mt. Moon is easy in this game. It'll be noth-
  • Surprise Rival Fight!
    • ****.
  • It's nothing too difficult. Thankfully our team is balanced so we can counter his team.
  • He sends in Gengar, I send out Simba
    • Luxray is Electric/Dark Type
    • Gengar has Focus Blast
      • Of course
  • Simba gets blasted
    • Of course
  • Woody cleans up with Sucker Punch to finish the fight.
• Onwards to Cerulean I guess.
  • Candice (Snorunt -> Froslass) is brought on to the team
  • It's also worth mentioning that I'm limiting my captures on Routes in Kanto until a certain something happens, so I'm pretty much running off of the Pokémon I caught in Johto minus a few cases.
• Turns out you need to complete the Power Plant event before fighting Misty, but that didn't stop me from going to the Cape like an idiot anyways.
  • Woody gets sucked dry along the way.
• So, we go all the way to the Power Plant and then all the way back to Cerulean and then back to the Power Plant to complete the event.
  • Having Swoosh with Fly is a blessing. I'd like to make that known.
• So, with everything finished we cockblock Misty's date and take on her gym.
  • Her gym trainers aren't too bad
    • Candice gets special countered
      • I've never hated Mantine more than ever.
• So, all I have is Leafy for this fight. It shouldn't be too bad, right?
  • Wrong.
• Misty's first Pokémon is Politoed. Nothing too difficult, but it sets up Drizzle which is annoying.
• Up next is Lapras. Nothing too difficult again. Just set up screens and-
  • Leafy gets freeze-dried
    • Nothing quite like a good old fashioned critical hit, right?
    • There goes to OG Champion Team
• So, now I've got nothing to really fight Misty.
  • Thankfully, Foci manages to clutch out a win for us.
    • Never have a loved a Starmie more than when Foci got a critical hit to win us the match
• In the wake of Woody, Leafy, and Candice's deaths Kaija (Lairon -> Aggron) and DigDug (Digglet -> Dugtrio) are brought on.
• DigDug hard counters Lt. Surge so we don't even have to mention him besides this one line
• U(p next is Celadon, so let's go there.
  • Turns out Saffron, which I need to go through to get there, is still closed due to the Blackout that was supposed to be fixed by the Power Plant
    • "Go the long way" is what they tell me
      • :/
• Along the "long way" Foci gets special countered, Kaija gets water blasted, and DigDug gets freeze-dried
  • I'll admit that Kaija and DigDug's deaths were the result of my own tired, stupidity, but Foci got countered by another ****ing Mantine
    • For the rest of my life I'll carry a grudge against ****ing Mantine's and their Mirror Coat or whatever the **** it's called.
• TurtleLion, Corona, Triton, and Sleepy are all brought on to fill team slots.
• Fuschia city has a neat new event where you have to fight Cloysters?
  • We got a shiny one with Skill Link though, so I'm not complaining.
• Now we fight Janine
  • I'm pretty much relying on Foci since he's all I got for this one.
  • She sends out Venomoth
    • Uh-oh Bug type attacks
  • Swap into Trish to tank a Bug Type attack
    • Psychic
      • Meant for Starmie
        • ???
    • Trish gets psycho blasted
      • 
  • The fight is closed out by Sleepy and Swoosh
• Sakura (Vulpix -> Ninetales) is brought on at the very end for the coming gyms

Comments:

• I'm at 32 deaths. That's over a box full of dead Pokémon.
  • I'll admit some of them are due to bad playing, but this is also a difficult ROM hack.
    • This isn't even the hardest one of them
      • I'm considering altering my rule on transferring Legendaries because of this. Maybe I'll do it for some.
        • You know what? Screw it. I will.
          • Rule Addition: If a Legendary Pokémon is in OU or below within the generation being played, they can be transferred
            • I'm making an exception for Renegade Platinum since it might as well be Gen 7 with the changes implemented.
          • Another rule addition that I've added is in regards to the use of save editing. Alongside changing levels and EVs to catch up, I'm allowing the alteration of IVs given the following stipulation for the sake of fairness: the only number that may be added is a 1 (31 is the highest value allowed with this)
            • i.e. if a Pokémon has an IV of 7, I can make it 17 by adding a 1 in front of the 7.
              • Again, this may seem incredibly lame, especially given that other people have made it through these games without these stipulations, but these are games where stats matter more than anything else. As you can see, even with these "safety rules" my team is dropping like flies. I don't see this changing anytime soon.
• I'd also like to comment on how much I enjoy watching team compositions change in Nuzlockes. You really get some diverse teams and I like that.

Anyways, I guess for Kanto we'll just go by 4 badges at a time. This means I've got Erika, Sabrina, Blaine, and Blue coming up before we're finally ready to fight Red. Wish me luck everyone. I'll surely need it.

Erdrick is almost guaranteed to be in as everyone and their grandmothers are saying they have proof of him. (Verge, Tansut, Hitagi, PolarPanda, Xenother, Etc.)

Banjo is looking more likely than Steve.

Master Chief is Deconfirmed, Cuphead is Deconfirmed, Dante is Deconfirmed, Travis Touchdown is Deconfirmed.

I must've missed this. How did Dante and Travis get deconfirmed?

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

Heroes and Warriors are the two crossover games of the series. Which is why I was confused to see Chrom from Awakening alongside Lyn from Blazing Blade. I always get the two messed up, even though Heroes is the mobile gacha and FE Warriors were by the same people who made Hyrule Warriors. That's gonna be a yikes regardless on my end.

 

[PeridotGX]

A bunch of Smashboards users play together in a lobby on Splatoon 2. Hopefully getting people here will help it have 8-10 players consistently.

I'm terrible at splatoon, but why not.

Sakurai played Fire Emblem Awakening during the development of Smash 4 and he wanted to choose a character from that.
He was originally going to chose Chrom, but we got Robin.
Now that Echo-Fighters are a thing, we got Chrom.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

How did Dante and Travis get deconfirmed?

Their creators said it IIRC.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh my lord what have I done?

Plus the Assist Trophy Lyn model looks awful on any closer inspection, while the Chrom Final Smash model looks... relatively decent.

Fair enough. I guess Chrom was the easier one to make with the time and budget they had.

Not to mention they still use her brawl voice, that nowadays sounds out of place for Lyn.

That last part is iffy. Some PR Statements shouldn't be taken seriously. I definitely wouldn't say that Master Chief or Dante are disconfirmed.

[Deleted member]

I must've missed this. How did Dante and Travis get deconfirmed?

IIRC The company and Creator behind No More Heroes mentioned that he won't be a DLC Character and that they should port the Main Series to the Switch.

Dante I forgot but all I remember is people saying he was deconfirmed and that he was, apparently.

 

[Deleted member]

Master Chief is Deconfirmed, Cuphead is Deconfirmed, Dante is Deconfirmed, Travis Touchdown is Deconfirmed.

May I have the evidence for this, please?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Y’all should friend request me on the Switch if you haven’t. I’m thinking if bringing back the Splatoon 2 group.

too much waifu

But on the other hand, this:

I don’t know how I feel about this

Real talk. Why is Lyn not in over Chrom when she's more popular when Smash veterans know of her because of assist trophies and FE fans acknowledge her as the most popular lord. What gives Nintendo?

because us Lyn supporters apparently deserve less than what she’s been given Smash wise

 

[Graizen]

Erdrick is a great character.

But to say that Erdrick is more of a Brave character than other characters?

No he is not. Not even close.

I suppose she'll get her chance another day...

real talk tho why isn't her AT now voiced by Wendee Lee like in Heroes/Warriors

also I straight up think Sakurai just hates katanas in general

 

[Gentlepanda]

[UtopianPoyzin]

May I have the evidence for this, please?

Master Chief and Dante were deconfirmed by their respective developers on twitter, and the cuphead devs were campaigning for cuphead to be in smash, when they wouldn't need to campaign if they weren't already in. Travis I'm not sure about

 

[Idon]

Oh my lord what have I done?

It's just luck.
A lot of people replied at the same time without knowing that someone else replied as well. We're all just essentially saying the same thing.

 

[Fenriraga]

What did I do again?

The Bowsercide. :V

 

[Deleted member]

>using imgflip instead of imgur

You know when you play a Pokemon game and you choose the inferior starter because you know nothing about the other options? So you stick with the run even if it's not at its most efficient? It's kind of like this except I have no real excuse to not try out imgur. I just saw imgflip first.

 

[Deleted member]

Don’t go there thinking that Lyn would be impossible to add in Smash doh.
She has a pre-existing model like Chrom from her assist trophy form in 4 and Ultimate, which could be used in a possible port on the next Nintendo console to make a fully playable version of her on it.

Sakurai would only need to worry in that situation about the moveset, mostly if he wants to make her a non-echo fighter.
