I just like Roy better, he seems like a character that could become very interesting if given time to work with. I don't really hate Chrom either it's just I haven't actually seen a lot of people genuinely like Chrom as a character in the next Smash it's usually more of they just expect him which is why it's probably why it's hard for me to accept him as a character because it seems no one wants him.
Realistically? Chrom and Lucina seem the most likely. And honestly I think we'll be seeing them both but as one character. Looking at how Awakening is different from other fire emblem games the Dual System is the most prominent new feature and using it right could make a huge difference in fights. I don't think it would be something as simple as a Down-B transformation nor would it be an Ice Climber where both are present at once but something more interesting. The popular idea I've seen (dunno who to credit so sorry
) is the idea that certain or even all specials would be some sort of Dual System move and using the move/s would be what causes them to switch. Example Down-B instead of counter like the other FE characters would be Dual Guard. For explanations sake we'll say Chrom is the one currently out and attacking but uses Dual Guard to block an attack. Doing this causes Lucina to Hop in front of Chrom to block the attack and after the Animation is complete Chrom hops out and Lucina is now the one fighting. That is just one example I've seen but you could do a lot with the Dual System idea. Heck as much as most competitive players would dislike it the Dual System could just be random which would really be more true to the fact that it's all RNG in the actual FE games.
I had an idea like that where the specials are linked to both characters (I'm surely not the first, but I thought of this on my ownThe popular idea I've seen (dunno who to credit so sorry
). For example, Chrom could have a Side-B where he summons Lucina (via magic or whatever) to throw him into a sliding sword attack. If he holds B however, he'll throw Lucina around into the attack instead, then disappear after. They would share the same specials in that regard, but have different properties and A moves. I think holding B to switch would be more efficient, then you don't have to switch characters with every special (but could choose to).
IT'S NOT EVEN THAT BIG! White girls...
This is why I don't fux with you.
And Lugified Marth with Fire or Luigified Marth with a spellbook is any different?
Marth and Ike is great. Anything else... I don't really bother with, unless it's Lyn. Lyn is awesome. I have no set preference for any Awakening rep, aside of finding it odd it wouldn't be Chrom.
No, I just don't want Chrom or Lucina.
I would say it actually lessens the prospective, as this just further makes the Chrom and Lucina idea even more unoriginal, tbh.
Is it really that you don't want Chrom (and/or Lucina), or that you simply want someone else instead?
No, trust me, he just doesn't want Chrom.
He just really doesn't want Chrom. He's probably wants Chrom less than I do, and I really don't want Chrom.
I guess I know who to beat with Chrom when the game comes out then
..
Hence why I'm saying the argument of Rosalina being original means Chrom being original doesn't work. For starters, the abilities between Peach and Rosalina aren't inherently the same thing, the former more relies on physical assault with girl power flare while Rosalina has godly powers with a space motif. Second, what effects Rosalina doesn't necessarily effect other characters. You can't really apply what happens to one with the other, just because she's unique with the Zato-1/Eddie inspired type of gameplay doesn't guarantee that Chrom will be highly unique too.
Would rather have something else. It's just a redundant type of inclusion that doesn't really emphasize the different types of weaponry and skills the Fire Emblem series has. It would be the equivalent of the Pokemon series being represented by Pikachu, Pachirisu, Emolga, and Dedenne.
There is a Chrom support thread you know. I happen to know the OP and he seems to genuinely like Chrom.Also, I feel like the only one around here who actually likes Chrom
Lol is there? I thought there would be, but I honestly can't find it.
chrom is cool cat. people like him, they don't just say as often because it's not cool considering the feeling of inevitability and bandwagoning people have towards the character.I guess I know who to beat with Chrom when the game comes out then
Also, I feel like the only one around here who actually likes Chrom
It's interesting you mentioned those Electric type Pokemons as one Smash 4 Roster video had a guy saying that having 3 blue-haired, male, sword-using protagonists as the faces of Fire Emblem was like having 3 electric rodent Pokemon as Pokemon reps.
Dem Fire Emblem hipsters.
No, people don't like the character because it's literally the worst possible character you can include in Super Smash Bros. A character that is highly redundant with the Fire Emblem characters we already have, plus being an eyesore after being shown a few newcomers with an heavy emphasis on diversity, does not make for a strong choice at all.
I've seen saying this since forever, glad i'm not the only one who thinks this way.Unique Chrom would make everyone happy except Xenoblaze.
Chrom with PH1R3 would make everyone happy INCLUDING Xenoblaze.
On a side note, I don't really understand. Does everyone want Roy back de-cloned, or the way he was?
Because I don't see the point in adding more clones.
On ANOTHER side note, I think this would be the most effective way to represent Fire Emblem in Smash:
Marth: Obviously.
Roy OR Lyn: To represent the GBA era and FE's localization.
Ike: Most popular western lord and has 2 games of his own. Most important other than Marth.
Chrom: Represents new Fire Emblem and its rebirth in popularity.
Too bad it was made months after I got sick of playing it.
I still like both, but I'm really gunning for a MvC style tag-out/support team from them now.
Its the only way they'll be included.
But can they pull off a tag-out/support system akin to MvC gameplay?
