Agreed but she's pretty good with transfers or a forge. A lavender haired lord is a good idea though, Ilyana's game should be about fixing world hunger.
This is a good idea, I'm going to mention it on the Rating day for Lucina.

, I managed to speed bless/hax Ilyana in my second playthrough. She and Reyson managed to annihilate the Dragons in the final chapter with a Bolting, but she was really useful in general. Capped Str, Skl and Mag too, she was stronger than my Nephenee >.<
Would love to see him take on a design like this for Smash.
This is worth of posting....

Great design! However, I'd like to see Ike even bulkier.
Why are you guys even put this point on a negative light ? if anything it's actually gives Fire Emblem an Identity, and it's true tradition of the series having a Blue haired sword man as a protag. , this point should be viewed in a positive light. In fact Marth/Chrom/Ike, It's easy to differentiate between them and their artstyle identify their gameplay, Marth is Agile and light , Ike is Strong and Heavy, Chrom looks like a mix between Ike and Marth in design wise and that would tell you that this guys is in the middle between Marth and Ike.
We don't need someone in between, we need a unique fire emblem character. Marth is great, Ike is good, Robin is the last piece of FE we are missing, magic. I know that blue haired sword lords are a reoccurring theme in the FE, but that's not what makes the series. I would prefer Chrom get cut in favor of Marth, Ike, and Robin because we don't really need someone in between. It's just that I would prefer FE to not go down the same path Starfox did and become something so dull and similar. I'm not saying I don't like Ike, it's just that I would prefer seeing an awakening rep that would bring a new fighting style to the game. Samurai even said he wanted characters like that.
Why not Anna?
Thane of Blue Flames
Good pick. Strong, sexy, and honestly I felt Fire Emblem's art was at its peak with RD. It took the style established with PoR, and then increased the quality and overall it seems more mature.
I see Anna as a character that will not come before Chrom and Robin. Although she is the series unofficial mascot, she is...Yeah, what's wrong with Anna? They haven't forgotten about the character for over two decades. They're not going to forget her now.

I sincerely hope we never again see characters with almost nothing but kill moves ever again. It has no place in anything remotely similar to a fighting game. The very nature of attacks that are super slow is that they become less and less effective as players not only become more twitchy, but become more aware of the character matchups. I think having a few slow moves like Dedede's f-smash is 100% okay, as it can come out of left-field and also serve well as the most extreme form of punishment. Just the same, I am okay with Ike having some slow moves, but it can't be the majority of his kit. It's not balanced, nor is it really like Ike at all. :/ Needs more than jabs and grabs to control the pace of the fight.
That is honestly a really good point; I suppose (NEWS FLASH) people are just hypocritical.I don't even see what's wrong with Marth, Ike and Chrom. In my opinion, it's not that much different from Fox, Falco and Wolf. Better yet, it's more unique. Or what about the potential Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong? Hell, how about Lucario, Greninja, Mewtwo?
I can't really say much about the Star Fox trio, as I don't really know much about the series, but I don't think the three Fire Emblem lords can be accurately compared to the Donkey Kong and Pokemon trios you mentioned. I would argue that the latter examples you provide all have their own distinct abilities that could make them into unique Smash characters. Dixie Kong, for example, could utilize her hair for whacking foes around or even for flying, despite being similar in appearance to Diddy Kong. Lucario, Greninja, and Mewtwo may share a similar body structure, but each one has their own special abilities that correspond to whatever type they are or what moves they can learn (and this has been the case so far; Mewtwo, Lucario, and Greninja share little in common apart from some superficially similar specials). With Chrom, the abilities he displays in his game are ones that are already used by either Marth or Ike. Despite Chrom having a good amount of source material to work with, most of it would be borrowing from one of the two lords we already have in Smash. So I think that's part of the reason people have an issue with Chrom more so than other "similar" characters. That might just be me, though.I don't even see what's wrong with Marth, Ike and Chrom.

Thank you. I have been saved by a god, a truly amazing experience. Only a being of divine intellect could have explained this well, yet I am a mortal man, who cannot write to the full extent of thy lord. You are a true master of literature, may I be eternally punished for my misdeeds in forum arguments. Forgive me god.
Uh... Well, ok then.
I think it's quite likely we'll see three Fire Emblem characters. I guess that depends on whether or not Ike returns, since I think an Awakening representative is probably more likely than not. I do think Ike has a good chance of returning, though.
The thing about having only Marth, Chrom, and Ike is that Samurai said that this time he wants to add characters that will bring new fighting styles to the game. All blue haired sword lords would go against what he said and would badly represent the franchise. This time around, I think Sakura has learned from brawl and will try to make a better game with characters that stand out more(Rosalina and Little Mac), although I do hope seeing Marth, Ike, and Robin in the same game together.
Is having blue hair such a problem? Being a blonde swordsman is acceptable, though. Link, Toon Link, Shulk, Isaac. Say no to racism.
I don't think having blue hair is such a big issue for Chrom. On its own, at least. Being a blue haired swordsman who has the exact same abilities as two other blue haired swordsmen that we already have is what's problematic.
Couldn't that same logic apply to any Awakening character?
Yeah, but Chrom overall best represents Awakening as he is one of the main characters (and more recognizable).
True, but he's not the only main character. He may be the most recognizable, but that doesn't automatically get him on the roster.
It probably won't be based on patterns though this time. Then again we had Roy and he didn't bring any merits besides being the new lord IS wanted to advertise.
Yeah, true about Roy. You could be right though, Sakurai seems to be changing up a lot for this entry.
Hey, what's wrong with Robin for representing Awakening? He's/She's at least on par with Chrom in terms of importance to the game, and actually has easy-to-make-a-move-set-out-of potential. I know you don't want him in Smash, but you make it sound like he's/she's implausible as a character choice.Which is why I said "one" of the main characters.
There are other possible FE candidates. But they don't feel like strong candidates to best represent Awakening (except for Lucina for at least a close second).
He'll listen to the fans, but I think he'll naturally think Chrom is a better fit as playable.
Honestly, I would LOVE to have both of them. A Fire Emblem mage has been needed, and Robin is the logical choice. Also, as you said, magic allows for a lot of moveset potential.
Nothing is wrong with Robin, I only said she was not a very strong candidate that could easily be picked by IS or Sakurai nor would he best represent Awakening despite being one of the main characters in the game.
So... Why can Robin not be easily picked by IS or Sakurai, and how does he/she not best represent Awakening despite being one of the main characters who is critically important to the plot of the game and can represent important features in the game, such as re-classing and marriage, that a character like Chrom does not represent as well?
Again, I would like to see Robin, but Chrom is the face of Fire Emblem Awakening. Part of this is due to the fact that Robin has no specific appearance.
