You get no Sympathy in a "Fire Emblem Discussion"

[Al-kīmiyā']

Hey guys, I'm still working on my want roster. I don't really care for Marth, but I do want a fast swords(wo)man. Who's cool? Also are there any cool archers/projectile fighters in Fire Emblem?

 

[Frostwraith]

Also are there any cool archers/projectile fighters in Fire Emblem?

There are the Archer and Bow Knight classes that use bows, so yeah. Mages can also attack from a distance, so magic could count as projectiles too.

Lyn uses bows on promotion. Also, aside from mages and archers there are also Hand Axes, Javelins, and Magic Swords(like the Levin Sword).

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

I know Eirika is specifically known for using a rapier-type sword. Are there any other major characters like that? I want to have that archetype in my roster, but I don't want to put both Ephraim and Eirika in it(except maybe as an alternate costume). How about this: everyone tell me their favorite characters in each combat style. Then I'll research them.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Well technically most lords can use a rapier and it's a default weapon at the beginning of the game, in fact in most games only a lord character can use a rapier. I recall that Ike, Hector, Sigurd, and Ephraim are the only lords that cannot use a rapier.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

well there's this one guy who uses a Rapier, you might have heard of him. His name's Marth.

 

[FlareHabanero]

What the **** is a Marth?

 

[Robert of Normandy]

What the **** is a Marth?

I think he's Roy's wife or something.

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

I don't like his design.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I don't like his design.

?

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

Yeah, I don't like it.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I don't like his design.

Tough. He's sticking around whether you like it or not.

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

It's like you either didn't read what I was asking for, or it rattled around in your skull for a little bit and fell out.

Is your roster a wishlist? In that case....eh, whatever floats your boat I guess.

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

yeah, that's what i meant by "'want' roster." so who's cool that works like marth/eirika?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

yeah, that's what i meant by "'want' roster." so who's cool that works like marth/eirika?

You mean use a rapier?

Well. Marth is cool...

So is Erika...

But if you want neither of those...

Lucina is closest to them.

Remember though, pretty much every lord can use a rapier, so I assume you mean a "graceful and fast" fighter.

 

[FlareHabanero]

You want one that is fast? Go for Lyn, her design is based on the Myrmidon (and by extension Swordmaster) class, so she has a lot of speed built in right from the start.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Speed yes. She definitely has that.

But she doesn't have the "graceful" thing I think Mouse is going for. She always struck me as more badass than graceful.

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

Well I figured I would probably include Lyn as the samurai type character. I still need another character for using the pointy end.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Well I figured I would probably include Lyn as the samurai type character. I still need another character for using the pointy end.

Well then you could pick Marth, Roy, or Eirika. Seliph or Leif would probably fit the archetype even though neither has a Prf Rapier(though Leif DOES eventually get Rapier access, though it's not exclusive).

Chrom and Lucina both use rapiers but they don't really fit the archetype I think you're looking for.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I still need another character for using the pointy end.

Marth.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Anyway, to answer your original question:

How about this: everyone tell me their favorite characters in each combat style. Then I'll research them.

Fragile Speedster: Lyn
Fencer: Marth
Lightning Bruiser: Ike
Mighty Glacier: Hector
"Lance dude": Ephraim
Mage: Micaiah

 

[Jaedrik]

Yoshimitsu pls.
He's been a guest in a lot of fighters Namco Bandai has worked on, plus he has the pogo and seppuku moves!
Lyn is cool too.
Also, if you're looking for an axe user, you simply MUST choose Hector. If not him, at least Mighty LobsterHorse Conqueror Walhart.

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

Hector is already in. Unless someone tells me about someone cooler that uses an axe. Anyway, Yoshimitsu pisses me off. He ****ing sits in the corner and jacks off to heal himself, then he jumps around on his sword before flying around with a flag helicopter. **** him. My friend played as him in SC2(or 3? The gamecube one). I played as Ivy. I love chain swords.

 

[Deleted member]

Yes, that's why you played as Ivy....

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

Also she's jiggly.

 

[IsmaR]

I also used to play as Ivy because I like whipping people. But I don't think that has anything to do with Fire Emblem.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL
At least IIIIIIIIIII don't have a personal VENDETTA against SOOOOOOOOME characters!

 

[TheKingOfTown]

"Lance dude": Ephraim

"Super badass amazingly strong and fast ultra omega cool Lance dude"

 

[loganhogan]

Someone was asking for the most graceful Fire Emblem character?

Clearly it's Maribelle she's got the porcelain doll hair curls, wears ribbons, gloves, carries an umbrella to battle, is allergic to vulgar vocabulary, and makes Princess Peach look like a tomboy.

Joking aside I think it's Elincia and among lords only I'd say Eliwood, Leif, or Eirika.

 

[IsmaR]

That's a funny way of spelling Gillian.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Most graceful is clearly Oliver.

So much beauty!

 

[Robert of Normandy]

That's a funny way of spelling Gillian.

?

 

[Deleted member]

Pretty sure Lobster Man has the most grace.

 

[•Col•]

I don't like his design.

Agreed. Replace him with Lucina and everyone would be much happier.

Pretty sure Lobster Man has the most grace.

God damn I never noticed how magnificent his hair was until right now.

 

[loganhogan]

I didn't know Red Lobster had hair. I always assumed he was bald.

 

[FireEmblemFan101]

Here's my Idea for the Fire Emblem Reps: Lethe(cat form), Micaiah, Ike, Marth or Chrom, Mia.
Fire Emblem is one of the few First Party games represented in Smash Bros. Either replace Marth with Chrom, or don't do it. Having Chom replace Ike is a horrible idea, Chrom is a descendant of Marth, wields the same sword as Marth, and it would be Roy and Marth all over again.
If they add Marth, he should appear as he does in Awakening, Ike as he appears in Radiant Dawn, Same with the other RD characters. Add Micaiah, because she is a magic wielder, and also SSB4 needs more females. Lethe because she's a powerful Laguz. And Mia because she is a purple haired sword wielder. That's my opinion.

 

[FireEmblemFan101]

I think he's Roy's wife or something.

No, Marth and Roy are from different Games. Marth's from The Shadow Dragon, and Roy is in The Sword of Seals (I believe). Also, Roy is the son of Eliwood.

NO WAI SHUT UP UR STUPID ROYXMARTH OTP!

 

[FireEmblemFan101]

I hate Oliver, I am about to find Reyson in his house, and Oliver orders his guards to kill the mercenaries.
