Yyyyyyup.
Uh, Ike is totally more important than other lords.
Prehaps, prehaps not. As I've said in the Ridley thread about similar assumption, we assume because of a particularly view we have on a character that we tend to project that onto the development team should hold a similar idea when we don't actually know if they do or not.
None of what I just said had any assumptions in it whatsoever. You might want to go back and read my post more carefully.
I've only beat two FE games so far, but I know enough about the series and will play more, as I just started using emulators. I also can't use my emulators right now because my computer sucks and the one I'm using right now isn't mine. Why are you assuming that people who started with awakening know little of the series. Not everyone has the time and resources to play every single game in a series.
Uh, technically since Awakening is the newest game, if it was your first FE, then yeah it does mean you have less experience regarding the series then people that have been playing it for years. But not that really matters, since that wasn't my point by asking if it was your first FE.
Making a 'pattern' from one instance..... Right. And if you truly believe that Chrom is more important to the series of Ike, then it just shows your inexperience. Xenoblaze, guide me.
You argue importance based on opinion of one character archetype being more bland then another. You seem to be suggesting that Ike should have more priority then Chrom or any other character because of that. There is no proof that such a standard exists yet it's regularly brought up as much regarding Ike as people argue that Awakening popularity is enough for Chrom to get into the game alone, which neither is a good argument as there are little evidence for both theories. It's all really the same problem with different assumptions being made being made by projecting how we view the characters towards the development team as if we know how the process works. I am aware I may be possible misunderstood your intention or misread a into what you were trying to portray in the first part of the post, I still have a problem with your last statement:I can't believe there are people even trying to argue against that. Was Awakening your first FE or something? If you really believe you are not making an assumption there about those that think it may be physically possible that priority isn't entirely in Ike's favor has just never played another FE game prior to awakening, then I'm not sure what your definition of one is.
I'm just going to stop you right there because a lot of you just posted had a lot of assumptions yourself in it, and you seem to be misunderstanding a lot of what I've been saying.
Fair enough, if that was all it won't have matter that much. As much as I generally like Ike, I tend to view that people overstate him as acharacter but that's another topic but at this point that a discussion for another time and place for me.
Actually Katarina was the last character DLC.
I wouldn't mind this. I would also like them to do a remake on the 6th game as well.
They should remake 6 & 7, and have Roy's stats be dependent on who Eliwood marries in 7.
LMAO Anyway, IS thinks Ike is popular.
Awakening wasn't my first game.
I'm sorry, I've changed my mind. I do believe Ike is more important to the FE series than other lords, except Marth. I just believe in that the only Marth should get special recognition in smash. This series needs cuts to move forward and they cant be wasting all their time to bring every single veteran back. Series that I believe are cut worthy are Pokemon and Fire Emblem, these series have so many characters that could fit into smash. It's a good idea to have cuts in these series because Sakura Samurai can just find another character that's just as unique and fans will usually love them just as much or close to it. Mewtwo is only wanted for nostalgia reasons, being the strongest, coolest looking Pokemon from the original, generation one. I never said Chrom was more important than Ike. Chrom only has a role in one game, Ike has a role in two games, I agree with you on that. Although I still do believe that the only things that characters from Fire Emblem like Ike, Lyn, or Robin should be judged on for smash are...
I agree with this. Even though I would love to Ike return, we don't exactly know what the odds of him returning will be.
Wait what? Now I don't entirely agree with Colaya initial approach on the situation that block of text you wrote didn't really help your position a whole lot.
That's in part of what makes this situation more complicated. Because Fire Emblem is one of the few series in smash that has had directly cut character in a series section that has only previous had two slots to begin with it does raise a realm of possibility that the same thing could happen again. However so much of it is based on factors that only Sakurai and his team could possibly known meaning all we generally have to discuss is different degrees of argument by Ike's smash and game popularity, to Awakening success to character personalities, and even the split that awakening did present in the fanbase. Outside of Ridley, I think the Fire Emblem characters are in general the most hostile and polarized group among the smash community at this point and time.
), it becomes pure chaos.
I wasn't trying to help my position at all. I just felt like writing a big, long block of words.
Final chapter of awakening. Battle on Grimas back. Evil Robin attacks from the background periodically.
Yeah, I have to agree. Worst case scenario for me would be Ike being cut, and Chrom being added, especially if Chrom has some of Ike's move/properties (like you said). And that's it. Only 2 FE characters: Marth and Chrom. How disappointing, but nothing's impossible...
