Violence is on sale today - Anna for DLC! * Waiting for new stock! Bear with us here! *

[Cutie Gwen]

Exactly. I'm content to wait for the next game if needs be.

@ Cutie Gwen , do what I do and help somebody make it by hand. Much cheaper and more satisfying.

While it would be fitting in Anna's character, since I've got a job I might do buy jt as I'm lazy by nature. Pretty sure you know why I'm giving it some time before actually getting it. Thanks for the advice regardless

 

[Burruni]

Just to say about Tiki: She is a Fire Emblem ICON like Anna, given how SMT x FE clearly wanted to highlight their version of her if nothing else. Her main matter would be a fighterly way to interpret Manaketes than a lack of want in the community or lack of importance.

I will advocate my "Manakete spirit" idea until it becomes a thing people can agree would work.

I honestly think it's the most creative and efficient way of incorporating it into her moveset.

I agree.
But neither of us are Sakurai.
Trust me, the roster would have some big changes if I were Sakurai *Evil laugh*

Victory 1: Anna appears out of a rune circle, holding a staff, "Y'know what they say, evil never pays."

Also pardon the double post, I think the like 8 hour time gap is able to skirt by for this one

I lost it at "Don't forget to take frequent breaks!"

I like it. Very creative and does justice to her character. May I add it to the OP? :3

And of course you can.

Damn. Solid Anna @ Burruni

 

[Burruni]

Damn. Solid Anna @ Burruni

Anna is a woman of many wares and above all else, gold on hand. I wanted to embody that kind of trickster arsenal with various tools. Most of all, bring in things from all over in FE history, not just Awakening. The Sleep Staff, Poison status effect, elemental swords that AREN'T LEVIN, etc. I wanted to keep a heavy focus on Staves, Swords, Lances, and... her own sack of gold because that's what most is tied in with her.

I think I did pretty well encapturing her. It's almost like I'm a F-Anna-tic.

I had plans with lances, Levin swords and moolah, but I forgot about staves, and my final smash idea was more merchant based than Anna Fever

 

[Captain Shwampy]

Relax, folks. You don't play your ace when the folding starts, right? Gotta raise the stakes even higher first, and let the little fishies scamper for their pot of gold. And then it's time to read 'em and weep~

Spoiler

In other words, Intelligent Systems aren't going to reveal Anna right off the bat. I doubt she'll even be revealed at all as it stands - she's always been a secret character who appears in unexpected places. She isn't the main shopkeeper in any of the games, if is no different. She'll be there and she'll be fabulous as always.

God I hope so

I was wondering why we haven't seen her yet.
I hope she gets new art .

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I beat FE7 without the secret shops. I couldn't help support Anna Q.Q

I'd buy a cake from Anna's shop...But I couldn't find it Q.Q

Happy birthday based Anna~!

Yay~ :3

 

[taoxadasa]

Yeah, Happy Birthday to my favorite Fire Emblem character and most wanted Smash newcomer!

 

[Kamui Nohr]

These... recent posts of Anna. She might as well be the face of Fire Emblem! With her character and varying use of weapons, she'll be likely to represent more of that lighthearted tone of Fire Emblem should she be included as a Smash fighter.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

She's certainly more important to the series than the Fire Emblem, also, TVTropes calls Anna the Series Mascot 'as far as the fandom is concerned'

 

[SSBCandidates]

I too wonder if FE IF will determine anything about Anna as she might not be there, and many point Kamui and or Aqua as the possible FEIF reps. Sort of offtopic but could the characters from SMT X FE also be considered in league to get in Smash? This also may influence on Anna getting in or not.

Good question. With the game coming soon towards the end of the year, we can guarantee that people might warm up to it by then just like how things went with Hyrule Warriors. Remember when people hated the idea of a hack n slash Zelda game upon the first trailer? It's exactly how people felt when calling SMT x FE a "weaboo animu" title for not being as dark as the games.

Once they see more trailers or information on the game, there will be hype and fans might grow to like the characters/setting. Then it would be the right time to consider the protagonists of that crossover as a likely option. We only know some of the names for now and only seen little of what their abilities are to truly start supporting them in the ballot.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

I like to think that Anna and all her sisters will be the shop keeper for all the shops.

It's too bad the direction for SMTXFE makes it seem like we won't be seeing Jack Frost along side Anna at the shop.

To date I wonder why people in the US even consider themeslves fans of anime and Japanese pop culture when they hate things like SMT X FE and Latin America and Europe have accepted such things as they are yet the US has more saying on what anime should be. Sorry for the OT rant but I really want to give SMT XFE a chance for what it will be.

Wasn't there a poster of him spotted in the reveal trailer?

Still, this could mean he is a ficticional character in the SMTXFE world.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Can we get the option to cut the redhead veteran that got leaked in favour of the best redhead in FE? AKA someone who's got more plus points than weapon power

 

[SSBCandidates]

An Anna skin on Roy would be fine. So my guess is that with Roy being official, chances on Anna have dropped. And if a future FE rep gets in, it might point at Kamui for freshness. This makes me wonder if in future games, Robin will remain?

Yes.
Because Robin has a full original moveset, is now solidified as their own character, and uses magic which Kamui doesn't. The only thing is if there is a My Unit or other Protagonist of FE15/16 who uses both tomes and swords, they made share a slot with Robin like Alph does with Olimar.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

ugh Roy is so lame

At least his design is good, but ughhhh

Was, is, and always will be.

I don't know why people expected more after Doc, Mewtwo, and Lucas were basically unchanged.

Gonna say this once, as thread owner, and only once:

Cut it out. If you want to salt about Roy, feel free to do it elsewhere. This is not the thread for that. Whether you appreciate the character or not, today is a victory for all Fire Emblem fans, and Roy's return does not embellish nor diminish Anna's merits in any way.

We're here to support Anna, not rain on Roy fans' parade. Constructive criticism is fine, abject fury is another matter entirely. If you can't be happy for Roy fans, then at least express it in a decent and helpful manner. Our community does not need in-fighting and name-calling. Appreciate the moment for what it is, cry and stamp your feet if you need to, and when you're done with that, come back and realise that this is a good thing for us all.

Roy looks more interesting than friggin Marth now...I hear FE6 is better than 1,3,11 and 12

Im so sorry

I think Roy designs looks fantastic along with all the other FE characters in this game and I'm glad he's got a couple a changes to his moves and animation.

It's fine, I guess I'm just used to playing "friendship vanguard". :3

I just don't want this thread to turn into a saltfest at Roy's expense, yeah? Goodness knows we don't need to begrudge our fellow fans.

Thank you. Don't get me wrong, I'm seriously hyped that Roy from FE is back for sure in Smash 4, but still we should keep supporting Anna as well. (Who is also my OTHER most wanted FE rep alongside Roy.) Besides, who knows? This very well just may be Anna's blessing in disguise.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Still better than the usual "Kamui would be a clone of Robin" arguments. The fact that those are still frequent on Gamefaqs makes me sick. -_-

 

[Captain Shwampy]

Does Kamui even use tomes?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

A lot of Roy salt is essentially gone...He looks more fun than Marth...Anna would still be better in every way. She's a top tier redhead don't you know

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Does Kamui even use tomes?

From what we seen and without any spoilers, not really. Just dragon abilities that are much more advanced than Tiki (partial transformation and such) and environmental manipulation.

 

[Kamui Nohr]

Having Roy in this game is simply a pre-ballot service to everyone one of us that has played Melee. I believe the Smash team knows he does not represent the overall choice of everyone voting for their favorite FE characters. Whose down for six Fire Emblem reps in this game?!

My only salt about the current thing is that it's about Smashboard news authors posting about leaks. My own fault for going to Smash-related social media a week before E3.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I tood non FE fans about Anna, they like her
