I think Sakura is the second strongest of the 8 we got. I'm not sold on Maria beating Clarine but it might be possible.

Probably not. At first I thought that maybe since she's at least had a game released in the US it's a possibility, but that didn't help her against Lachesis so FE1/3/11/12 really is just that weak here.

Don't disagree that Sakura would probably be one of the strongest; I actually expected her to win this outright but I guess Elise is more popular.

also i think Sakura would beat Priscilla, and Clarine would lose to everyone, so the horse doesn't have much to do with it. Lissa just isn't that popular compared to some of the other 3DS characters.

...Doesn't that just reinforce the idea that Awakening should hold more credibility than that? Being a SpotPass character in Awakening is literally the only exposure advantage Lachesis has over Clarine since neither had their game released outside of Japan, but FE6 should have the advantage over FE4, especially where characters directly related to FE7 characters are concerned.

I think you are underestimating FE7 a bit. FE7 was the original FE boom in North America and I think it did pretty well in Japan as well. As long as they aren't picking crazy fights like Lucina, they can be fairly competitive. Also remember that Ephraim beat Leo and Chrom in the first gauntlet. Awakening and Fates are strong but they don't instantly beat just anyone.

Did he? I forgot that. I'm happy, though, because FE13/14 just auto-winning disappoints me. This just isn't one of those times where the older game has the better character. There are a lot of better FE7 characters, whereas I think Lissa's actually a pretty good character.
