Who would you rather Ike replace? Roy or Marth?

[Smash Ninja]

Everyone seems to be talking about Marth and Ike, but no-one has said a word about Roy. I know someone will probably flame me 'cos im new here, but I just wan it to be noted that IMO Roy is better. But then again, many people like Marth more. On, the subject of Ike, he seems to look a lot better than both f then, but of course, we havnt seen his moveset yet. Sakurai hinted that he was more about power than speed and b quite strong, like Roy was in comparison to Marth in Melee. Discuss what you think is the better replacement choice (if ya want to that is...)

 

[Keitaro]

Honestly, Ike's sword is pretty big so he could be slow but it could be a Ganondorf slow which I see as good. I think he's a better replacement for Roy

I still think they'll put in another person from Fire Emblem and I'm hoping Lyn. I can see her being Top Tier over Ike which is basically the same as Marth and Roy. So if Lyn is in the game, she'll hopefully be the new Roy cause I don't see Ike being it.

 

[Smash Ninja]

Hm, im not that familiar with Fire Emblem, whats Lyn like? Power kind or speedy kind? You dont think that Ike and Lyn would replace Roy and Marth do you???????

I think three is too many characters in smash for FE. Its not exactly one of the huge titles...

 

[Pit 42]

Ike shouldn't replace either of them. Ike should be a brand new character will all-new moves.

Any other FE character they put in Brawl should have Marth or Roy's moveset, but they shouldn't have more than three characters, I think.

 

[RBinator]

Why does Ike have to be a replacement at all?

If I had to pick Marth or Roy, I would say him taking Roy's spot. That doesn't mean taking his moves however.

 

[Keitaro]

Lyn is really fast. I don't know how fast Marth was in his Fire Emblem game but Lyn at least was pretty fast. If she were to play anything like Marth I think she would be an even better character than him.

 

[BuSHiDo]

I don't see them having Marth, Roy, and Ike all in Brawl. It's just too much of the same thing. The variations in their movesets won't be different enough for that to make sense. I definitely think that Ike will replace one of them, but there's even a chance he could replace both. It's not likely, but you never know. I don't really know the FE games so I don't know if there's a main character, or you select one of many and they are all equal. I don't know what Ike's position is in the FE world, but if he's just some side character of the FE games, then I'd assume at least Marth will definitely be staying.

 

[Wizzlecroff]

It says that he can use only one hand with his huge sword. I wouldn't call that slow. I think he will play close to marth or roy, and that those two will be gone. Well, that is what I am hoping anyway. His moves look similar to marth and roy. I guess we will see.

 

[smashmaniac16]

i think they will both return and roy will have a new moveset

 

[Roman.]

I think that Ike will replace roy but there will be a third FE character to come in. Lyn is possible and probobly more likely than others. Ike will have to have a different moveset than marth for he's going to be much slower than marth like ganon is with c.falcon.

That's Lyn. Decide for yourself whether or not she's fast.

I'd rather Ike replace Marth, as long as he wasn't any worse. Lyn would be awesome, but the GameBoy Advance games were sort of a letdown for the people over in Japan, so she'll probably not be put in.

Ike's sword can attack from a distance, and he has a special that's nothing like anything Roy or Marth have. Fire Emblem is a series where every one or two games they switch main characters. Marth, Roy, Ike and Lyn are all Lord class (main) characters, but not from the same games (actually, there's a possibility that Lyn's Roy's mother, but that's rather irrelevant to this topic). Ike's just as important as Roy was, but Marth was from the original game, so has some distinction over all the other characters.

I'd also like to point out that Ike actually was a faster character than Marth, although they could certainly change that for this game...

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I would rather have him replace Roy for the fact that he's a heavy swordsman.

Marth should stay because he is a completely diffirent character.

 

[O D I N]

As a character, in my opinion, Roy>Marth.

I'd rather see Marth and Roy cut, and just add Black Knight. :shrug: That's just me.

If anyone was staying, it'd probably be Marth.

 

[lcampoy8]

i hope ike does not replace anyone

The Black Knight and Ike? Two FE9 characters? Not going to happen. Also, I can't really see the BK jumping all that well...

 

[ShiroinoKaze]

Dude that would be freakin awesome. But then thats kinda cheap because the Black Knight is not only big and heavy, but he's hella fast.

 

[Master_Yang]

If one has to be dropped, it'll be Roy. Marth has the larger popularity (no offense, Roys, I'm a Roy sub myself), he was the first Lord in the FE series and looks to play the most different from Ike. I'm seeing Ike, despite the "one hand" comment, as being more of a heavy swinger than a speed swordie.

 

[O D I N]

He'd be a fast faller. That's for sure. I haven't played PoR in a while, but plan to this weekend.

We'll just have to see.

 

[SiD]

They should put in Hector. We have enough swordsman.

 

[Shadowplusle]

i would rather them keep both marth and roy, but i dont know. ike is still awesome he has blue hair

 

[bloodhunter]

I don't like the idea of replacing anyone in this game. Characters (clones) with similar movesets should just take the minimal amount of modifications needed and thrown in as an extra bonus without taking a slot. This way, everyone wins. Mario/Dr. Mario, Pikachu/Pichu, Link/Young Link ect. In this case I would make Ike a unique character, tweak Marth's moveset and do minimal work on Roy for balancing. Then I would add Lyn. It makes no sense for a game built to be a fan service to have charcacters with established movesets (clone or not) cut. Add to what you already have.

 

[RoK the Reaper]

I'm a Roy player man, don't trip on it. And I've been in the smash community aw hile, maybe 5 or so months and believe me, people do put Roy down. I'm hopin' he replaces Marth.

 

[ylink_underestimted]

Which Fire Emblem is Lyn from? but w/e. if there were more FE reps, they should be from the ones out internationally, like Sacred Stones (Go Ephraim!!). or the sequal to Path of Radience, Goddess of Dawn. is that out in america yet? eh...

 

[EXE]

Lyn could be the Uber fast swordswoman, Marth the all around swordsman, and Ike the Uber strong swordsman.

Then they should add Ephraim and Hector for weapon diversity and Eirika for sex appeal (as if Lyn and Zero Suit Samus weren't enough xD)!

Lyn is from FE7 and GoD comes out in November.

 

[the grim lizard]

I'm sorry, but this is a dumb thread. Anyone who is even wondering about this doesn't know any FE history whatsoever.

Marth is the most important character in the series. Roy isn't important at all.

 

[ylink_underestimted]

Thnx. ive only played SS and PoR.

 

[Tujex]

I think he'll replace Roy. Anyone who played FEoR knows Ike is a power-type swordsman. So it only makes sense if he replaces Roy.

 

[BudDudandSlash]

Ike and Roy will be a team character. Ike Climbers.

**see bold**

No He's Not >.>

 

[ArticulateT]

hm... well, if it had to be anyone, i'd pick marth.

I just think that Roy has more... personality and potential as a character, yet Marth is the stronger fighter out of the two.

I don't know, I just preffer Roy out of the two of them (don't kill me!)

 

[Smash Ninja]

I'm sorry, but this is a dumb thread. Anyone who is even wondering about this doesn't know any FE history whatsoever.

Marth is the most important character in the series. Roy isn't important at all.

But that doesnt mean some people want Marth to stay while Roy gets kicked out. Marth may be important, but in comparison to Roy, he sucks... just my opinion.

Is Ike as important though? Thats a better question...

 

[Ben the ultimate]

I think Roy will be back but I don' t know Marth I think he will be dropped {Replaced by Ike}.

 

[Smash Ninja]

**see bold**

No He's Not >.>

IMO!!!! I said IN MY OPINION!!!! Dur...

___

BTW, lol to BudDudandSlash... IKE CLIMBERS!!!!!! Now that would be awesome!!!!

 

[Truedge]

Technically Roy with Sword of Seals has a ranged attack too.
If they keep Aether's ability, Ike will have a two hit attack, first which heals equal to damage done and second which ignores defense (shield breaker?).

 

[Salaad]

Look at Ike's sword range and tell me who you want Marth or Ike? I want both btw. xD

 

[the grim lizard]

But that doesnt mean some people want Marth to stay while Roy gets kicked out. Marth may be important, but in comparison to Roy, he sucks... just my opinion.

In comparison to Roy, Marth sucks?? Do you mean just stylistically/personality-wise or how good they are in Melee? Because if it's the latter, you're delusional.

Ike is the main character for the most recent couple of FE games. So, it depends on who you ask.

 

[kosmoco]

I would replace Ike for Roy.

 

[uremog]

both.

anyways, Ike's got a huge *** sword = likely to have huge *** range. wahahaha, Fire Emblem go!

 

[axemangx]

Marth is a noob character, having a bunch of cheap strong swipes arent that competiive
