>joked that they should get an axe
>then adds ANOTHER fucking sword character instead of any of the other characters with axes
AAAAAAAAAA FUCK YOU SAKURAI YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY
>He then talked about how hard it was to make sword users stand out, and joked they should get an axe.
Ahah what if the next fire emblem swordman s actually an axe user. Maybe a girl too?
nah Edelgard's VA has already said she isn't involved with Smash
Joker's development was barely even started when he was announced. She might just have not been contacted yet.
Wrong axe user, pal.
Why would they suddenly add Hector, a character from a game 15 years ago to Ultimate?
Just so fire emblem can fill their axe quota?
The difference between Edelgard and Hector is that people actually give a shit about Hector
I love how FE secondaries think that the weapon, axe, is the most important thing and not movement type. A cavalier like Eliwood, Camus or Sigurd, or a flier like Caeda or Minerva, would be much, much more unique than Hector or Edelgard. It's a shame that non-FE fans dictate the roster.
Having a horse or a winged dragon/horse would be a nightmare to develop for a fighter. I'm just being realistic.
How about we don't need any more fucking Fire Emblem characters, yeah?
How the fuck would someone on a horse grab ledges?
It'd be better to have nothing at all, or an assist trophy like Tiki (i.e. a character that couldn't be a fighter but is still unique) than a shit tier character solely because "muh axe, muh lace". It just drags down FE.
Rider could grab on, rider could ditch horse. Sigurd and Camus are both supposed to be retardedly strong, anyway. They'd just grab the horse with their free hand and the ledge with their other hand. Camus has a lance, as well, so it wouldn't be "another sword", as if that matters.
Why couldn't Tiki be a playable character?
Just make her manakete form her final smash and build her moves around FEW.
Because her FEW self isn't really true to her character, even her personality, she seems very callous. She's basically a joke character in that, in the way that she fights.
Stop with the “FE secondary” crap. If you’ve heard of Fire Emblem, I can almost guarantee you it’s because of Smash, unless you were a Japanese Nintendo game enthusiast in the 90s with a pechant for strategy games.
I want Hector not solely because of an “axe quota”, but he’s a popular and likable character with a stand-out personality. Being an axe user makes him stand out, and there is more you could do with him than just being a long-reaching character with some weapon hitbox mechanic.
Mounted units would be cool, but like said, they’d probably hell to put in. I would like to see someone like Ephraim battle with Siegmund on horseback, but I just don’t see it happening.
Plus Fire Emblem is stupidly and superfluously represented right now that any character being added from the franchise would leave a sour taste in a lot of people’s mouths. Hell, I’d take cuts if it made the franchise’s presence in Smash not controversial.
If you had any interest in SRPGs in the 90's/00's, you heard of Fire Emblem.
Did he say why Isaac was cut in Smash 4 and why he returned for Ultimate?
Hopefully Falcon punches them out of the roster again

You used the wrong photo
It's really annoying how Sakurai goes "I'm a Fire Emblem fan", yet somehow doesn't seem to know that the series has more stuff than swords. Like, if Fates needed a rep, Azura would have worked fine, if not better, than yet another sword user. Personally, I'd make FE reps for the next Smash be Marth, Ike, Robin, Hector, Ephraim. Marth is the "face of FE", Robin is there to represent avatars (and also has magic), and the other three are very popular characters who'd all be unique fighters, and also use something else than swords.
>If you’ve heard of Fire Emblem, I can almost guarantee you it’s because of Smash
Then why did Awakening go on o sell the best in the series?
hint: it wasn't because of Smash
Wasn't Mystery of the Emblem the most selling title until Fates, or do I remember wrong?
Anyway, if you ask me, Awakening sold well because a) It was actually marketed well (No "Build an army. Trust no one" or just not getting any advertising); and b) It was released at a great time, since the 3DS was hurting for games, and there wasn't really any "good" SRPG there already (So no "Let's release Radiant Dawn the same week as Mario Galaxy, that will end well")
My point is that Smash isn't the reason FE is popular, the games between Melee and Awakening sold like shit regardless of Smash promotion
Smash was enough to get us FE in the first place, but IS didn't necessarily handle the FE7-12 time as well they could have, yeah.
Why would we get FE3H or Pokemon SS rep when ARMS and XC2 were supposedly already too late? There's a narrative dissonance here
>hard to make sword users unique
>proceeds to add in 5 sword users that all have the same moves amd final smashes
Hypocrite?
This artist is so awful, they had to hire a different artist for the cover art.
Edelgard's already deconfirmed by Fortnite
>Sakurai thinks Corrin was a bad idea in hindsight so he'll clearly do the same thing again
Who has the Hector pasta
The cover is hilariously awful
>Picks a literal who axe user over already existing ones because fan service that would go to waste and it being the most recent character of a recent game
sasuga sakurai
remind me again how many people gave a fuck about Corrin when they added him to Smash
No she did the cover art too
They got a different artist for the steelbook and special edition box though and it's a goddamn shame the game itself doesn't have this aesthetic
>he then talked about how hard it is to make sword users stand out
well then maybe we just DON’T make them.
>Sakurai thinks Corrin was a bad idea in hindsight
Source?
yeah just like Celica and Pyra VA didn't
learn how NDA works
holy shit this is deviantart template tier only thing missing here is the ms paint quality
And remember the fucking blacklash that got?
>the absolute state of Fire Emblem
and yet these fucks have the balls to say it’s an A-tier Nintendo series.
>article links a twitter translation by Sourcegaming
>which also talks about this right after
ohnononono Banjofags btfo, Sakurai doesnt want any more punch users
Cuphead is getting in
3H is already looking to be the next FElop
ESPECIALLY the fact Koei fucking Tecmo is working on it
>Fire Emblem: Other EM
Turn the horse into a uma musume. Simple. The rider will simply just sit on their shoulders.
Might be getting a remake
This. Azura offers way more to the table than Ephraim.
I'm getting flashbacks of when people tried to accuse Kozaki of samefacing, the top row is very clearly different
No one gives a shit about Fire Emblem so they're pretty even on that
its old due to the release date
but i should update it
>My most wanted neither punches or kicks
>Third party
>No representation at all or any mention of it currently
>Popularity rapidly escalating
>Would provide a unique moveset
>Would have shock value
I would nut
"Can feel generic" and "doesn't want any more" are two entirely different things. Also Sakurai has no say on the DLC anyway. It's been confirmed for months that the higher ups decided all of it.
>doesn't use any sword skills
uh cronokeks?
you realize im making fun of Edelgardfags misinterpreting it as a confirmation right?
They just have same poses, they clearly have different faces. Plus she did the cover art too.
I agree that they look awful though. I don't really get it. It's not like she can't do dynamic poses and in general her art and designs looked much better before.
> Also Sakurai has no say on the DLC anyway.
>this again
retard
It'll probably sell better than any 1st party Switch game this year except Mario Maker, Zelda remake, and Pokemon though.
And almost every new Metroid game flops, it wasn't just Other M.
The only A tier Nintendo franchises are Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and to an extent Animal Crossing. Wii Fitness too. Games like Metroid, Fire Emblem, StarFox, and almost every other Nintendo IP don't come close. I would argue FE or Kirby is the highest 'B Tier' series though.
except Sakamoto is happy with SR sales oppose the time Reggie said Other M isnt gonna break a million anytime despite their marketing effort.
alao still on the 3DS best seller page
why do you retards compare different series/genres all the time? ISIS doesn't work on Metroid anymore.
>Wii Fit
except Wii Fit Plus was a giant flop
it was never A-tier, just a fad series like Gyromite
My point was that Metroid flops in general nowadays, not just because KT had a hand in Other M.
FE is probably more popular than Metroid nowadays.
WHERE IS SHE THEN?!?!
Ohmori, should you be doing another Lillie cutscene in Pokemon /ss/?
because those fucking japs cant get enough of Tiger Mask
One has to remember that after Sakurai saw the starters, he thought "It will either be Decidueye or Incineroar", so he never even considered the seal.
That depends, how many opera singers are there in Nintendo's exclusives?
Japs liked Primarina more.
Decidueye would have been in if GF didn't intervene.
and we have two boomer nips calling the shots
>echos flops
>I-I-I-its a remake doesnt count
>holy fuck look at Samus returns sales lmao fucking flop FE is the most popular nintendo franchise
>FE is probably more popular than Metroid nowadays.
Prime 4 generated more hype with a logo than Three Houses has done with several trailers and a direct focused on it.
>One interview literally had Sakurai wondering what was the hot pokemon in the movies
>ICY conveniently having Incineroar
Amazing how Game Freak can immediately call the shots on which pokemon can immediately get popular via a chain of events and/or selective strategies.
It's so odd to me that people believe Sakurai when he says he just so "happens" to choose the shillmon of the generation, as if Lucario and Greninja didn't have all the calling signs of being the posterboys of their generations from day 1. Intimidate was datamined for Incineroar almost immediately, gets the role in ICY, and Alola just so happens to have a booming wrestling scene with the Battle Royal. Everything was set up for Incineroar from the beginning even if his shilling came late, all of these things are determined years in advance.
This wouldn't be a big deal if not for the fact that popularity doesn't mean shit. Sobble is the most popular Gen 8 starter in Japan so far, but everything is already in Scorbunny's favor when it comes to being the shillmon. Shit's depressing.
2big
... I still remember when I first played PMD for the GBA and learning about that Lucario statue.
and hah, I'm a Scorbunny fan, but I honestly don't mind Sobble's popularity either. Although I'm not sure if they'd go Fire again for Ash for the next gen. Honestly, Grookey seems like a more fitting pick for Ash. Dunno, kind of makes more sense for me. Hell, I don't even know how the anime's doing now, are they still doing those extreme moments of excessive animating with the REALLY out of place expressions? And Rowlet swallowed a fucking Everstone, congrats, anime, what a way to show that you care about breaking pokemon team standards built over the years while having that NECESSARY Flying type like Noctowl and several others.
Metroid is dead just like Star Fox and F Zero, live with it.
Damn I didn't know Prime 4 got canceled.
Based mommy poster
Do you think Edelgard is as ripped as Samus?
No, anything after that is dead because Prime is going to bomb.
>the richters
That’s because you’re retarded and think the weapon is more important than the character. Ephraim and Hector are both secondary lords with less development than the other lord in their game. The weapon type really isn’t that important.
Gonna sell more than Three Houses.
Excuse you, but a single house in the current market sells pretty well overall. Imagine three now.
You mean like the past 2 FE games and 3H?
