Marth and Roy were cool in Melee. Ike was a poor man's Roy. Everyone after that is just lame.

They could have spiced it up with an axe user like Hector or an Archer, etc., but Hackurai chose not to.

I agree. Kinda wish they just stuck with Marth & Ike like in Brawl. Maybe either Robin or Chrom.

so sakurai makes clones because he wants to save time

but he wastes time with all these fire emblems and making them supposedly "unique" from each other

HACKurai fam. he could be making characters we actually care about unique

This. Hector or Edelgard with an axe, Ephraim or Azura with a lance, or a pure magic user like Micaiah would have been much better than Chrom or Lucina.

Marth and Ike make sense from a repping standpoint. Robin too, especially since they play kinda cool.

The rest don't really belong in the game.

Roy was added as a rep since his game was new at the time and he's stupidly popular in Japan for some reason.

Lucina I think is okay as she's one of the better characters from Awakening.

Fates OTOH was a complete wasted opportunity to include Azura. Ike actually has an interesting playstyle and should definitely stay.

Chrom is pointless they should just make that Roy's moveset and drop Chrom. Add Tiki, Hector, and maybe a 3 Houses character.

I agree that Roy, Lucina, and Chrom are all completely expendable. But Corrin's moveset is so unique that I really hope they keep him/her in for future games. Character-wise, Corrin is a dud even compared to most FE protagonists (Fates was garbage) but that moveset is just so damn fun. If the lineup for the next Smash was Marth, Ike, Robin, Corrin, and one other rep from a more recent FE game (Edelgard please) that would be ideal, and I don't think many would be upset about the franchise getting five reps if they all had unique movesets.

My only problem with it is that as reps from a game entirely built around different weapon types every single one of them uses sword. And of course the similarity that we are getting clones of clones now.

Ike and Roy have absolutely nothing in common besides that they're both lords with swords


@Conflict The fuck you mean

they both got fire swords, and their neutral special attack is the same chargeable fire attack that damages you down if you hold the B button for too long

What's funnier is that sword is pretty commonly the worst weapon type in most of the games repped by the lords lul.

FE6, swords are pretty bad cuz lances and horses are king and Roy himself is pretty terrible, Ike is pretty bad in the GC game's higher difficulties, Marth is bad in general, Chrom and Lucina are good only because they got ludicrously beefy stats and can use lances on promotion (though Robin is better), Robin is good cuz he can use magic, too, etc.

If Lyn made it in and was good, it'd be the biggest offense cuz FE7's swords are hilariously underpowered due to axe enemies being already weak and lance enemies being not only powerful but by far the most abundant.

Basically in a series where lances are commonly always the best weapon type, we don't have a single lance user, despite the existence of Sigurd or Ephraim. No Axe rep either, despite Hector

I don't think *Awakening spoilers* father-daughter incest made possible by time travel would produce an offspring good enough for combat.

You can't. Lucina doesn't appear until after Chrom gets married

I'll give ya that Corrin has a pretty unique moveset, but it will never sit well with me that (at the time) they used an entire DLC slot for a flavor of the month character.

Fire Emblem representation in Smash is wasted potential. For all the weapons Fire Emblem has, its frustrating that Sakurai keeps gravitating towards Sword users.

All this talk of having "an axe user" or "a lance user"......

How about we have characters that we dont have to just make up 100% of the moveset for? Its not like Lynn, Hector, etc have ANY personality whatsoever either.

What a terrible franchise to pull "characters" from.
