For reference. The derp is in the Wii U/3DS general discussion thread.I'm so out of the loop it's scary. I just heard the Roster Discussion Thread got temporarily locked only to come back and see it's been locked again. Permanently. You guys must've really gone wild in there.
But I'll check it out. Always up for some derp.
99.9% certain, unless they replace him with chrom, if they go that direction like i said in a different thread, Nintendo will get no sympathy from me
Good to know, thanks.
Considering his popularity, reception, unique-ness, and competition, I'd say his chances to return are pretty high. Not anywhere near 99.9%, but he's clearly the second mostly likely FE character, behind Marth. The only way I see him not returning is if Chrom gets his moveset and therefore Sakurai prioritizes him rather low, and he ends up not making it, but I very much doubt that will happen.
See my post last page.
Would bet RD myself, makes Ike clash a bit more with the rest of the possible roster.
You do realize the every guest artist interpretation was just the character dressed up as the standard generic outfit for the class you recruit them as? Pretty much the reason Micaiah is dressed up as Tharja.
Wasn't that actually a work-around as they share the same models in-game?--- said:
Considering he topped out in the Western Poll I took, I'd say very high.
You forgot Alm and Celicia. Though I really don't blame you, most people forget them anyway.
More like IS look in three years he went from Scrawny to Bulky. Hector trained with Eliwood 12 years of his life. Big differences there
I can see it in both games, if only Ike got to use Axes in PoR.
That's the problem with Chrom, underdeveloped and overshadowed by Robin and Lucina.
That's an overly narrow superlative if ever I heard one. Seriously, most of the existing FE lords are either boring or copies of other Lords.
Wouldn't say that exactly, there are some major differences between several lords whether it's class, personality, or story wise. Closest clones would probably be Marth & the FE4 lords and Roy & Eliwood, but I'm still positive that there are still major differences between each of them (Back me up Chrono) and the latter are kinda ironic being father & son.
Pretty much, the other big factor is that the story was very inconsistent which pretty much prevented all possible character development. As much as I love all the Gaiden references, the game would have better if it had just stuck with Gangrel with Grima as the main plot (probably a clone of FE3's story, but with a few big differences) and maybe have also gotten rid of the time travel stuff.
I think that is most apt way of putting Chrom's situation. Ike was nothing more than another (blue-haired) swordsmen who had to compete with two female sword-wielders (Lyn and Eirika), an axe-wielder (Hector), and a lance-wielder (Ephraim), yet Ike had the biggest fanbase of them all. Why? Because people LOVED Ike as a character, and not only was he a good character (and amazing as an unit), but FE9 was on the same quality as FE7 was for most people.
GameFAQs views him as the single-most likely newcomer for Smash 4. More likely than Ridley, K. Rool, Mewtwo, Little Mac, Palutena, or Takamaru.
I find this to be utterly disgusting and is why I don't pay attention to their thoughts on a Fire Emblem character (with the exception of a select few who don't follow bandwagons due to recentness). I can name on two hands characters with better resume to get in than Chrom.ChronoBound said:
Chrom is one of those characters who does fit under the "expected but not wanted category". Those type of characters don't give me good vibes in regards to appearing in Smash. Zoroark was like this, but to a slightly lesser extend (I know you like him, just mentioning that many didn't, but expected him anyway), and it's not hard to guess where he's going...
What? So your justification for Chrom not getting in, is because he is too similar to other Fire Emblem characters?
Oh I'm not denying that Chrom has no chance whatsoever, I'm just expressing there is a possibility of being overlooked due to bringing nothing to the table in particular.
That is not as bad as some people suggesting that Chrom should replace Marth.
I have actually seen a few people at NeoGAF who have said Chrom will replace Marth because he is Marth's descendant, though nowhere near as much "Chrom is going push out Ike. Deal with it."
I actually don't hate the idea of Chrom getting in, simply because almost any other suggested characters on a semi-frequent basis (Leaf is rarely brought up and Anna is one exception) makes me groan. I actually do like the idea of a Chrom and Lucina tag team, but I don't think we're going to get that. It's just that I feel that Roy would be a better choice overall and I don't think any character that fails one of Sakurai's criteria should be placed in Smash.I'm just going to sit over in my corner thinking about how I thought Chrom was a cool guy and I'd be glad to have him. Not over Ike, but still...people need to chill out hatin' on Chrom so much.
Besides, "Chrom's the Bomb!" is an awesomely cheesy crowd cheer. Just like"We Like Ike!"
