My top 5 would be:
There is nothing FOR her, either when the things people look into for FE characters are relevancy and popularity.
Sure, but that doesn't count her out automatically. It is not like she is guaranteed or anything, because she is not, but neither are any of the characters at this point.
But why though? Why THAT low? I just don't see it being THAT low. Lower than Chrom? Yes. Lower than few others? Sure. Way at the bottom below people like Lethe, Leaf, Medeus, Mia, Sothe, etc? No. I think she is in the top 10 at least.
That at least makes more sense, thanks
) with a Fire Emblem flair to them. I always liked the idea of having Sothe pre-Brawl, but it obviously never came to be.
I never said she was below those characters. It was a hyperbole. Anyway, even then, being in the Top 10 Most Likely for a particular series is not at all an accomplishment. Let's just say she was number ten. Do you really think that we'd get ten more FE characters? Nope. We'd be lucky to get four characters (read as: not newcomers) for the series, and even then she has no shot when compared to Marth, Ike, Roy and Chrom. Lucina would even come above her, especially if Sakurai started to do affirmative action, which he hasn't really done yet.
Micaiah can do physical attacks, using staves, etc up close, but they don't do a whole lot of damage. That is the point and they would reflect that in Smash. You can go up close bt it doesn't do much damage. You will need to work on mastering the mid to long range attacks.Micaiah and Zelda would have similar fighting styles I feel yeah, but that doesn't make it less awkward for her to use physical moves. She literally is meant to keep out of physical contact with ANY kind of enemy in Radiant Dawn, so she could probably end up a little weaker than Zelda even.
What you COULD suggest however is a Micaiah / Sothe duo, with Awakening focusing so much on tag team fighting, I could see this work really well. Think of them as a Zelda / Sheik replacement (Zelda and IMPA are now stand-alone characters
Also, wasn't Sothe once confirmed as an AT at some point? Same with Pegasus Knights?
I was saying it as more of her being one of the top choices, above the millions of others.
Because Ike is not guaranteed to return, only Marth is.
No, I am just saying there are a bunch of characters that would face off for that 3rd spot, from Micaiah and Ike to Lyn and Sheeda.
I just think people shouldn't automatically count her out. She doesn't have the best chances but she does have some. Is there a chance she won't make it? Yes, but the same thing applies to Roy, Lyn, Sheeda, Lucina, etc.
That's fair, we all have that one unrealistic character that we want to see. As you've already found out a lot of us here are very conservative with our predictions.
Ike is faster in Radiant Dawn than he was in Path of Radiance though, and that is the version they are bound to use if he stays.The way I saw it was always:
Marth = semi light weight, fast attacks
Chrom = mid weight, medium speed attacks
Ike = semi heavy weight, slow speed and strong attacks
Chrom can easily be the bridge between Marth and Ike's styles for à more balanced character.
Plus, his main focus is on his strenght. He also has higher strenght growths than speed growths in Radiant Dawn, unlike in Path of Radiance. His caps are also both 37 in Strenght and Speed in FE10, and in FE9 his Strenght caps at 26 only, while his Speed can be raised till 28.
Could work but there are always other choices like Micaiah, Sheeda, Lyn, and Lucina as well.He's also a lot stronger, so that's not saying a lot.
His rough fighting style matches the 'slow but strong'-style he has in Smash. But he could use a few quicker moves, just for balance. Would like his Forward Tilt especially to be faster (come out faster and less lag).
What mainly could become intressting about these 3 exact characters, and this exact spread of how they should be balanced is that it works with the 'Weapon Triangle' system Fire Emblem is so famous for.
Marth has only acces to swords, the lightest yet weakest weapon, Ike has acces to swords but also axes, the heaviest and strongest weapon, and Chrom has acces to swords and lances, which are the medium weight / medium strenght weapons. If Ike and Chrom can have some moves involving axes and lances, and balance the characters out that Marth > Ike > Chrom > Marth ect., it's all in line with that Weapon Triangle, which represents Fire Emblem better than even Mages and Pegasus Knights.
Well Roy is a classic console character that only has a recent appearance as DLC in a HANDHELD game.Have it your way I guess?
His latest appearances is handheld though.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the 3DS and Wii U versions supposed to be the same game? Why would they have different rosters? Was it actually confirmed that there would be version-exclusive characters?
No, they haven't been confirmed, but it hasn't been confirmed there won't be version exclusives either. Most people think the rosters will probably be the same, but even if less likely, version exclusives are still a possibility (though there would probably only be one or two exclusive characters if any).
Thanks for clearing that up.
(Ike and Marth's sisters respectively)
