Fire Emblem x Smash Bros

People bitch about the cast being both bloated and a poor embodiment of the series diversity

How would you rebuild it?

Ideally, Marth, Hector/Edelgard/Anna, Ephraim, and tiki. That way you have the whole weapon triangle plus a manakete.
Otherwise, it should just be Marth + current mainlord/character.
t. Fire Emblem fanatic.

> Leave Marth and Robin
> Give Robin chargeable Up and Side specials like Hero
There, done.

>Marth
>Robin
>Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude all rolled into one like Trainer

Have one rep from each era. Marth because muh first game protag, Roy to represent GBA era and yets face it he's iconic in smash now, Ike for gcn/wii era, Either robin or corrin for 3ds era, personal vote goes for robin and I would like Edelgard for the new era get a non-sword user in the game.

Just keep it as it is but remove Corrin. I really don't care about the clones, they can stay. Corrin is the character no one likes, no one asked for and felt like a waste.

>remove a unique character
>keep clones
Fuck no.

Marth with Alm alt
Palla
Mount/Dismount mechanics Sigurd/Seliph
Hector
L'Arachel

>Le weapon triangle
>Pretends to be a Fire Emblem mechanic
Older games didn't have a WT, the newest games don't either.

Fire Emblem should have 1 Sword user, 1 Magic User, 1 Axe User, and 1 Lance
Not 6 sword users

weapon diversity or exchange some heroes for villains

>Marth and Ike are immutable, permanent Smash tenure
>Roy and Corrin are easily retired

Awakening is the big question since Robin is perfect, but Chrom and Lucina feel way too popular as Nintendo characters to pull

From there it's a goody bag of 1 to 2 of whoever is popular enough and has a cool gameplay hook. Lyn, Hector, Lysithea, Dimitri, Claude, Tiki, Dorothea, Leo, whoever the fuck

It is the absolute most iconic thing about fire emblem, whether you want to admit it or not, faggot.

Lucina can stay as an alt costume. Sakurai is retarded with echoes

The opera theme says otherwise.

No. It really isn't. Only a secondary would say something like this.

Cut Roy, Lucina, Corrin, and Chrom. Add Tiki, and maybe Blyeth if you want a current game rep.

If you really want, you can cut Ike as well, since the Tellius games aren't really relevant outside of Ike's personal popularity.

Weapon triangle started in genealogy, and has existed in 11 games since then.
Seriously kill yourself.

To me Fire Emblem's most iconic thing was having fuckload of characters all deployed and supporting each other with friendship and then ruining that by letting anyone die and seeing if IntSys felt like letting the script change to reflect on it this game.

Nah, keep Chrom for the infighter aspect and personality. He spent Smash 4 as Sakurai's chew toy; he's earned his due.

The implementation of the triangle was shit in 4 and only went on to become needlessly complicated, especially in Awakening/Fates with all of the subsystems tacked on.

Awakening doesn't really need more than one rep, and Robin fills that role just fine.

Put in my waifu Celica

Get the most iconic 4 and call it good. Maybe if that ends up being too many sword users, diversify it a bit by making those sword users clones and taking up 2 of the other slots for magic and other weapon users.

What does that have to do with the fact that it started early in the series and has existed in 11 of the 16 games? Speaking of 16, three houses still has remnants of the weapon triangle in the form of breaker skills.

Marth
Ike
Robin
Edelgard or a Black Knight echo if you’re generous
Stages need a rework too, one actual location from the games is sad

Marth
Camus
Byleth
Maybe Ike

It surely wouldn't make people happy about the bloating but I think the franchise would be represented better

L'Arachel? What did you think she would do?

I knew FE as the permadeath game

In case it wasn't obvious as fuck, he just wants characters he likes.

Didn't see Palla, the rest seemed kind of reasonable

>making Lucina a Marth costume
Realistically, what do people who propose this actually assume it'll help? At most you're just taking an option away and killing off four of Marth and Lucina's colors each in return for nothing.

Attached: 1529999598740.gif (500x446, 797K)

They should just make a fire emblem themed smash game

It just hit me that FE used to be known as a small series about strategy that had permadeath as it's main feature, and now it's notorious for being waifubait and having generic anime swordsmen in smash. It hurts a little to think about it.

Make Chrom & Lucina a new duo character somehow

Remove the clones and echos.
Marth/Ike/Robin/Corrin is fine. Hopefully any new characters will use something other than, or in addition to the sword. Robin's really the only character that does the game mechanics any justice.

Replace corrin with camilla. Beeg anime tiddies and big axe moves. would a wyvern mount be too big?

>her mount is corrin

Attached: monstersinc01.png (438x341, 321K)

I always thought it was stupid how people acted like an axe would make a character fundamentally different from a sword. There's nothing about the shape of the weapon to make it any different from Ike, the dude even does Hector's Armads crit as his up aerial.

It really isn't. That's like saying the most iconic thing about Mario is different worlds. Yeah, that happens in most Mario games, but that's not the "most iconic thing" about it or anywhere close to the first thing that comes to mind about the series.

>Camillafags.
Fuck off.

Marth, Ike, and Robin themselves would make a good roster. If you wanted more, it seems Hector, Anna, or Tiki would be favorable among FE fans.
As someone who has only played nu-FE I would want someone from 3H like Dimitri or Lysithea, but not getting associated with Smash is a boon in its own right.

I personally take no issue with the FE cast.
I wouldn't mind if one or two were dropped for a more unique FE character (not Roy though because hes my main along with Ness).
That said, I can see why people are annoyed by so many of them since they all do tend to be somewhat similar at least.
I wouldn't mind losing Lucina or Chrom for a different FE character though. Preferably with a different weapon type.

>t. Fire Emblem fanatic

t. Doesn’t know shit about FE

Being a fan of something doesn't mean I want an unnecessary bloat of characters from the series.
Ike had his time, he should have never been in smash 4.

Ike was never loved before Smash, bro. Ike was called a Gary Stu and a shitty poor man's Hector. Only a person who doesn't like FE would like Ike.

>most popular FE character shouldn’t have been in smash 4 because he had his time

Keep Marth, Ike and Robin, add Hector, Dimitri and Anna. Represents all eras and includes all the most popular characters. Lucina doesn't even make top 5 in female popularity polls anymore after Heroes rolled out their gacha waifus, turns out she was just ISIS shill after all. Include Roy, Chrom and Lucina as color options for Marth.

>IKE IS MY FAVORITE LORD SO HE ABSOLUTELY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT NEEDS TO BE IN
Jesus Christ kill yourself.

>all these people keeping Ike
The games flopped hard in both japan AND west, and was the sole reason the series was about to die before Waifuwakening had to come save it. He doesn't even HAVE a unique weapon, so the "muh weapon triangle" argument goes out the window too
You fuckers don't realize that if every character was in based on importance to the series and game sales, Corrin and all THREE awakeing characters would be in a much better spot than Mr. "My game almost killed the series"
Do you what a character in because you like them, or because they're important in repping the series? If you say both, then you can't have Ike

>Ctrl F

Look I get it, no one wants another sword user. But how the hell would Edelgard have a interesting moveset. All I can see is implementation of the Crest and thats it.

Well, I reckon it's pretty neat as it is.

Which has nothing to do with the relevancy/representation of the series.

>still the most popular even with the two worst selling games
The absolute state of Fire Emblem (((((fans)))))

Lucina and Chrom become alts instead of alts, or get rid of Chrom.

People are desperate to have more waifus but all the popular characters in FE are males so they just default to begging for the newest shill waifu. Byleth makes sense since he can be a she as well, has interesting moveset, unique weapon and is the main character. Even excluding Byleth, Dimitri is by far the most popular three houses character in every poll post-launch now that people have played the game, turns out people like a good design and well written character arc over literally Hitler but as cute grill

>Which has nothing to do with the relevancy/representation of the series.
>represents the GC/Wii era
>but it doesn't because I SAID SO
Keep digging that hole deeper

>Ike with an Ephraim costume
A lance cannot be mapped to a sword's movements, they are fundamentally different in the ways they are used. If you argue that Ephraim would use a sword instead of a lance to match Ike's moveset, you're retarded.
>Corrin with a young Tiki costume
No. Tiki's and Corrin's dragon abilities have nothing in common aside from wings, and Tiki certainly can't morph her limbs like Corrin can. Tiki also isn't going to be flailing about a sword in combat, so the only moves that Corrin has that Tiki can replicate are Bair, Up special, and the projectile part of Neutral special.

at this point might as well make a separate Fire Emblem Smash
with Advance War characters as unlockable

>People bitch about the cast being both bloated and a poor embodiment of the series diversity
You're mistaken. Those aren't people.

>no archers
>no clerics
>no beasts

It literally only ever comes up in the context of fe fans trying to justify wanting more fe characters in smash. I doubt its mentioned even once in the majority of FE threads on v.

Simply add Hector and bothleth's

Which didn't exist in the first three games and doesn't exist in the newest two

Why doesn't Marth have his binding shield in smash?

Already had a sword & board fighter

The Fire Emblem bloat is really just because of luck and happenstance.

Marth, Ike, Robin and Corrin are fully unique characters, while Roy was initially added as a clone of Marth, and Lucina and Chrom are both glorified alt costumes that didn't take any development time outside of just getting rid of the sweetspots on their attacks (and Chrom having Ike's Up B).

Four unique characters, all of which are the protagonists of their respective games, and some clones isn't that bad for a long running series with over 14 games that's recently broken out in popularity. It's like how Star Fox only really has the noticable amount of characters it has because Falco and Wolf were built off Fox's base.

Out of 16 games you fucking retard it IS iconic. Also one of the games you mentiones is a remake, two if you count FE3

WE LIKE IKE

>Also one of the games you mentiones is a remake
Meaningless because they added the WT to two other remakes

Anyways, the weapon triangle isn't in 30% of the series. Hardly the most important feature ever.

The triangle existed in fates and exist as a skill in three houses.
Not counting heroes nor the spirituality of it in three houses, the triangle is present in 11 of 16 games.

Everyone but Marth gets the pink slip, bring in some more Zelda and retro reps to fill their slots.

>The triangle existed in fates
Which was two games ago

Someone with common sense.

Attached: SPOILER_yuh.png (583x405, 164K)

Marth, Roy, Ike, Robin. That's it. One rep to represent each era of the series.

Attached: IMG_20190623_183803.jpg (1365x2048, 426K)

Marth (Lucina)
Ike
Robin
Newest shill rep

This is the least offensive list possible for the next game, trimming the fat without gutting the series and still including a newcomer.

Pink slip young link, toon link, and ganondorf (until he gets a more unique moveset)

Just because it is a series staple doesn't mean it's iconic

How can you claim to be trimming the fat while keeping Ike?

Marth/Lucina (either an alt costume or an echo fighter if they still do those), a mage character that has 8 different characters like Bowser Jr, someone new from Three Houses

Ike is the most popular male character in the series.

The fates royals are some of the absolute most popular characters in the franchise. Should they all be included in the next game?

Toss Roy
Toss Lucina
Toss Chrom
Add Hector
Add Byleth as a versatile fighter, like Robin

>rebuild it
You can't, at this point. Cutting any FE character will inevitably disappoint someone, and that's no fair. Best route is to just limit FE newcomers in future installments, and add more fan favorites instead.

The three Links are more distinct from each other than Marth, Red Marth, Slightly Less Feminine Marth and Dad Marth.

>Marth (OG lord)
>Ike (popular, distinct from Marth)
>Robin (Awakening saved the franchise, represents Avatars, has magic, could probably use a moveset overhaul)
>Edelgard (I'm not even a Beaglesfag she's just the best way to represent Three Houses)
There, it's perfect.
I really don't understand the reasoning behind representing every weapon type or not doubling up on them, that really doesn't have anything to do with who should be in the roster.

>Keep Marth and Robin (+Lucina, shes just an echo freebie)
>Cut Corrin and Roy (taking Chrom with him)
>Have any other characters be different classes.
There, now people won't be crying about swordies and they just need to make whatever classes they pick have a good moveset.

>some of the
>not the most

No because they aren't the protagonists, they don't represent an era which isn't already represented and they aren't THE most popular character in the whole franchise

No they aren't, only Camilla comes close and she would be a kino inclusion

Smash and heroes secondaries opinions do not and should not count.
The fates royals are without a doubt the most popular characters in the entire franchise.

Lads, I don't think the average Smashfag cares whether Ike's games flopped or not, they just want to play as the Unga Bunga with the giant fucking sword.

Attached: 1532096802723.png (718x623, 496K)

Because I think going down to just 3 is too far, and Ike has less baggage associated with him than Roy or Corrin, people generally don't dislike him.

And it's nice to have a beefy swordsman swinging a big fuck-you sword in contrast to the other twinks.

This is good, but I'd keep Ike as the most well-liked character from the series. And liberal use of alts. The biggest thing would be to get rid of the shitty self-insert characters Robin and Corrin.

I'd make it as
Light swordsmanL Marth / Lucina
Axes: Edelgard / Hector
Spears: Ephraim / Dimitri
Heavy Swords: Ike / Black Knight
Manakete: Tiki / Nowi

The fuck? No it's not, it's just a random mechanic that isn't even in every game.
Permadeath is more iconic. Hell, limited-use weapons are more iconic.
What does the number of games it's been in have to do with whether it's iconic or not?
The Heal staff has been in more games than the weapon triangle, is the Heal staff the most iconic thing in Fire Emblem?

That's just untrue you flying faggot.

Marth, but make his alts different lords
Ike or Hector, but not both
Robin
That’s it, anything more is really overdoing it

Where's the archer or cleric?

Also the only reason anyone even likes ike to begin with is because he's in smash.
He would be the most literal of who's if he didn't get shoved into brawl to save the mess his games caused FE to get into.

>marth (with roy, chrom and lucina alt costumes like how alph is a costume of olimar)
>robin
>Byleth - a Pokemon Trainer-style character who swaps between Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude for attacks
Fixed your roster

Edelgard mechanically has the least to stand out of any of the main Thee Houses choices. Byleth has the whip-sword, Dimitri's polearm makes for something that's got different range and attack arcs than a sword/axe along with cutscenes where he's throwing it and fighting unarmed, and Claude as a more pure bow-fighter would be different from the "bow on neutral B and only neutral B" archery of Link/Pit, with optional wyvern mount if you really want to make things weird.

>I would like Edelgard

Attached: 15662814163023.png (445x554, 426K)

I’d buy it so long as they take at least 1-2 characters from every game

5 characters is enough, otherwise I'd put a mage in there. A pure archer or cleric has no place in smash, really. But 5 really is enough.

Not a part of the weapon triangle.

>removing robin
>adding dragons of all things
Stop being a faggot you idiot.

Marth, Ike, Robin, and Corrin are fine. Their movesets are distinct enough and even though their personalities are basically the same, if you're only going to let lords in, you have to take what you can get.

The only real way to celebrate the character diversity of FE is to go off the rails and start adding characters outside the main cast, but Sakurai would never do that. He cares more about representing different games than he does representing different playstyles.

Remove everyone who isn't Marth and keep one extra spot open for the newest game main Lord/character.

Valid points those faggots will never admit.

>only considers movesets
>their movesets arent even that different either
>doesn't consider better choices for characters themselves
Add skull kid instead of young link, and ghirahim instead of toon link; both links have stuff from their own games to actually make them have more unique movesets to differentiate themselves from base link, but they never bother to do it.

Attached: 1562340718183.png (450x422, 165K)

Byleth would be the only acceptable addition to the FE list, and even then it would only be if they either

1) Made full use of the Sword of the Creator as a weird whip sword thing
2) Made Byleth into a sort of Robin-meets-Shulk character where you switch between sword/axe/lance/gauntlets for different fighting styles (and weapons break after too much use)

They can't just add another melee character. Not when they have 4 slightly different marth clones already.

>Byleth
>Sword
She/he has a whip sword like Ivy

Everyone suggests Tiki but how would she work? She can't do anything in human form and dragon form has Ridley syndrome (large and flies all the time) but worse

Most sensible post regarding this Ike faggotry

Would it be possible to do a Bowser Jr/Hero type deal and have multiple characters as alts for the different weapons? Like have a swordie that is Marth and relegate the Red Marth, Boy Marth, and Boomer Marth to alts and do that with lance/axe/mages/archers//whatever

They weren't popular at the time but they are now (try finding a copy of Path of Radiance), and Ike is one of the most popular characters in the series, easily top 3 at worst.
You have to perform mental gymnastics to justify not putting in a fan-favorite character just because the sales of the games he was from were underwhelming.

>Fan Favorite*
*Of smash and heroes secondaries.

My only hope is that if the next Smash does cut back a ton on characters that the FE group is struck down to maybe 2. The series ever getting more than that was always a bit absurd to me to begin with, and most of the reps' popularity (at least in the west) is just from Smash in the first place.

Also
>Thread talking about trimming the bloat
>Several posts keeping 5+ characters

What a joke

I don't HATE Ike, and I hink his inclusion is justified.
But THEN they go around cutting the Awakening lords because while STILL touting the retarded popularity argument for Ike, and then replace them with characters like Hector.
You CAN'T use popularity for one character, then completely ignore it for the the others because you don't like them.
Ike isn't important to the series, but he's popular. the Awakening lords have the privilege of being BOTH, so they have a much better reasoning for sticking around than Ike does

>only considers movesets

Not just talking about the movesets, the Links have more varied proportions than the Marths. Plus Toon Link has a non-standard design that stands out more than another generic bishie anime swordsman.

But, have you considered unga bunga with big axe AND she's a cute anime girl?

Ike is based in his own game, actual Fire Emblem fans like him more than secondaries
>waaah but that's not MY opinion so it can't be true that other people have it
Cope

That was one of the reasons Fire Emblem Warriors seemed like a good idea. The games are already filled with clones, why not copy and paste the same moveset so you can represent as many characters as possible?

Unfortunately, that didn't work out, and in Smash, it'd be a shitton of extra work.

Personally I'd rather finally ditch Corrin and put Byleth in. Whip sword works just as well a replacement for their extendo-arms/legs.

>secondaries
Look maybe nobody has told you this but minorities are usually secondaries guess where you fall in? Series didn't die after Awakening since it was saved by it and shitty gacha. But at this point you are the secondary homo!

>People are exclusively using Ike's popularity as a reason to keep him around.
>But then want to cut equally popular characters like Lucina and Chrome.
????? Your arguments make zero fucking sense you iketards.

Marth
Ike
Robin
Hector
Ephraim or Dimitri
5 is ideal but if I wouldn't say no to Tiki being added. They won't ever get rid of echoes though, not with them already finished.

Leave as is and add 2 more reps.

>Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude all rolled into one like Trainer
This is actually a really stupid idea, stop posting this.

Keep:
Marth
Roy
Ike
Robin
Corrin

Make into alt costumes:
Lucina (Marth)
Chrom (Roy)

Add:
Byleth. Have their primary form of fighting be Brawling Prowess, hand-to-hand combat, with various weapons for Smash and Aerials (example: FSmash an overhead axe swing, USmash an overhead semicircle staff sweep, DSmash a sword sweep forward-to-back). Neutral B uses a bow that fires Light magic arrows, Down B is Ragnarok that creates an upward burst of dark fire on the ground and a swirl of dark fire in the air (hold B to send it out farther). Final Smash uses the Sword of the Creator to perform Ruptured Heaven, where Byleth leaps forward and slams the ground creating an AoE burst and any opponents caught in the burst are then struck with a supercharged Ragnarok before being knocked away by a powerful swing of the Sword.

Ike is fucking based though. He was blunt as fuck to some people and straight up didn't take shit.

There are more people who like FE because of Smash and Heroes than actual oldfags. Face it, grandpa, you're outnumbered.

>doesn't respond to wanting a more unique moveset
>doesn't respond to having better reps than just a different version of link
Should we get Mario, paper mario, rpg mario, doctor mario, striker mario, and party mario then? Or would you rather have Mario (Doc skin), Dimentio, Fawful, Geno, and Waluigi with a moveset based around all the sports and party spinoffs?

Same reason people want Hardin.
>armored lance-wielding villain
>armored axe-wielding villain

Only difference is Edelgard has a vagina so anybody who wants her is clearly some sort of waifufag, right?

When will "Ike is only popular because of smash lol" end?
It isn't true, Ike was praised for being the first Lord who wasn't a noble, and in general he has always been one of the most popular character in FE, along with other characters like Hector
His games didn't sell well only because there weren't many copies and their marketing was awful (PoR was released at the end of the GC, RD was a sequel of a game which didn't sell much, and also it was released near Mario Galaxy), the few who played the games really liked them, and Ike
Also a lot of people have emulated it
Smash only cemented his popularity, "he wins the poll because of Smash and FEH secondaries lol xD" isn't an argument and isn't true, show me a poll before 2008 in which Ike isn't in the top 5 if you are right then

Marth/Lucina/Roy as one slot, maybe find another character to fit to keep it even.
Ike/Chrom as one slot
Robin stays, but buffed
Corrin stays
Boom, fixed without removing anyone

How about not removing a unique character and playstyle simply because YOU don't care about him?

I mean, yeah when she's next to three equally important characters in her game that each have a more unique gimmick to them.

Do I need to link my post again?
I DON'T HATE IKE, and I'm FINE with him being on the roster, its just his fans are absolutely insufferable with their popularity faggotry

Attached: shadow dunk.gif (480x270, 1.5M)

I would keep Marth, Ike, Robin and Roy

Make Lucina an alt for Marth

Revamp Roy's entire moveset like for one giving him a projectile like how the Binding Blade can throw out fireballs in FE6

Add in either Lyn, Hector, Byleth or Edelgard as the last rep

I wouldn't. I'd really rather not have my main get fucked over for the sake of "representation." Instead I'd focus on beefing up the rosters of other franchises in Smash with interesting characters and high value echoes.

or Lewyn as tome user.

>stop liking a character I hate!
Maybe if you'd stop insisting he be removed because you don't care about him while lying about/ignoring the facts, people would stop correcting you and making you upset.

Such as?

Make Lucina an alt
Delete Chrom and Corrin
Add Dimitri

I NEVER said he should be removed you massive faggot, I just said that his fans should stop ignoring the popularity of the other lords when it comes to the roster

Imagine bringing up sales when talking about a series that had historically always had piss poor sales. Fates didn't do too hot either. It's 3 separate games. Take its 1.5m sales numbers and divide it by 3 and it's now among the worst selling games of the series.

Marth (Lucina alt costume)
Either Arvis or Lewyn
Hector
Ike
Robin
Some Fates or 3H rep, haven't played them yet

Do something like bowser jr. Marth is the main slot and instead of changing color you change into a different fe lord.

How are they ignoring the popularity of Marth and Roy when they talk about Ike?

It's pretty much impossible to separate because he was one of 2 FE characters in Brawl, and at the time one of the most recent FE characters to boot.

He also doesn't have someone who's really splitting the vote for almost anything, unlike more recent games where there's a full-on ensemble cast of "main" characters that are way more popular than Titania/Soren ever were.

I mean Awakening alone you have Chrom, Robin, and Lucina as main characters drastically appealing to different people, and Tharja for the honk honk big tits. Then Fates with Corrin, Azura, and the royals. Now Three Houses with Byleth and the three lords.

As much as Robin doesn't deserve to be there, he's actually fun to play as. I wouldn't mind giving his moveset to someone else.

>I wouldn't mind giving his moveset to someone else.
Nobody wants Celica as a character.

The Ike/Roy thing is also because of weird happenstance.

>Melee comes and adds clones
>Brawl is developed, clones can't be clones any more, they need to have different weight / feels to them
>Roy needs to be different to Marth
>Marth's whole thing is being fast, so Roy needs to be heavy
>That makes no sense for his character
>Meanwhile here's a more well-known and well-loved character who wields a massive sword that looks like it should be slow and heavy
>Make the logical step to swap Roy out for Ike

And then

>Fans want Roy back
>Roy gets added back in
>There are now two Marth not-clones and a Marth clone

Dude

You do realize the sales are almost entirely physical, and to buy one it was a full-priced game, right?

If it did have 1.5m sales, you'd actually multiply it by some unknown amount because a good portion of the people who bought one would then buy another as DLC.

>Fates didn't do too hot either
All three games are counted as one, no exceptions. it works like that with every other series with multiple game versions, this is like saying Gen One didn't sell the most because all of them were slit across four games
>hey Lucina and Chrom are popular too, and ever more importation to the series. Their game helped revive it, if any game deserves more than one rep, its theirs
>LOL FUCK AWAKENING, SWAP THEM OUT WITH TWO EQUALLY AS BORING BUT LESS POPULAR CHARACTERS, THAT WOULD MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY

Have you played Ike's games? The 'slow and heavy' part is just untrue even with the big-ass sword. Wish Ike had been accurately represented from the start

To be fair, I don't think Ike was meant to be replace Roy in Brawl. Remember he was one of the "Forbidden 7" found in the game's files, along with Mewtwo and Dr. Mario.

I think the only character that actually had a clear cut replacement was Young Link, with Toon Link taking his spot in Brawl and Smash 4.

Would be nice if they fixed my fucking Levin Sword too. Getting real sick of having C-Stick Smash Attacks turned on just so i don't have to have Robin swing the shitty bronze sword in the air when the Levin is avaible.

This character is the most original of all the FE characters and he's the one that got the most shit on; it's unfair.

PUT IN UNGA AXE USER!
but honestly hector/edel character would be fucking great. A spear user too would be nice representation since fire emblem is becoming a poster child again. I'm surprised really there are more fire emblem characters than pokemon characters but I guess sakurai just has good taste.

Marth
Lucina
Tiki
Ike
Robin
Dimitri

>Imagine bringing up sales
Does it bother you that the series is doing better now? 3 Houses just outsold all the older FE games. The sales = popularity carry weight
>Fates didn't do too hot either
It did better than the older FE games. Either way sales matter. If awakening hadn't done as good as it did the series would be fucking dead. Cope.

how to have fun with robin in smash? just seems so slow and no punch to attacks. I know you're supposed to levin in the air but really every move feels so fucking weightless with such low output in % and knockback.

Marth
Ike with an axe
Lucina with a lance
Robin

There I fixed the roster and shut up muh triangle retards

Fuck off with your worst house you cockgoblins.

'been playing that character near-exclusively during all of Smash 4's lifespan and so far all of Ultimate too -
having fun is difficult; (s)he has an amazing gameplay and fun tools but is overall fucked by Sakurai's random decision to turn him into the "representation character". Slow, limited ammo, never got buffed, final smash still brings up an already-playable character to help..

my love for the character is the only thing keeping me going. though i honestly think this game (ultimate) is the clunkiest, most unfinished fuckup of a Smash Game. at this point i just want Smash 6 already but there's so few Robin players that i'm sure (s)he'll never make the cut.

Attached: 1496777322037.png (500x382, 73K)

I dumped too much time into this series, and Ultimate is the first where I'm seemingly fighting the controls as much as the player. I imagine I need a new controller but there was a LOT of noise about turning accidentally, air dodging when you didn't want, turning accidentally, etc.

Attached: 1532284810281.png (500x375, 240K)

yeh no; even with a brand new controller and a perfect wifi - the game randomly eats your inputs arbitrarily. Air-dodge-to-death is the biggest example but there's also the Tilt attacks with the C-stick that don't repeat when re-used; leaving your character completely immobile, waiting to get their face cleaved.

it's honestly the most unresponsive Smash game to date; even including Brawl.

That's kind of a loaded question because years of rosterfagging has led some people to be landmines of seething when it comes to certain characters. It's hard to explain game design in text too just like it's hard to explain flavors. That's also asking a shit ton out of me, but fuck it I'm feeling autistic this morning.

I'm in the same boat. It's really weird because I was perfectly fine at Smash 4, even online, but with Ultimate there are times I can't fucking stop a dash from happening when I simply want to walk, and the turning stuff happens constantly to me too.

Pig Ganon.

Attached: 1518752959385.png (1800x1519, 2.31M)

ive got an ethernet adapter and it still doesn't feel very good, at all

I'd love to see the jusitifcation for no jump momentum, neutered DI, much higher "short" hops, floatier physics, ledge magnet hands, but we'll never get them. And formerly holistic and fun-feeling characters like CFalcon, Meta Knight, Falco and Marth are butchered

The visual changes like red lightning KOs, symmetrical characters mirroring, more attack effects are great but the gameplay loop took such a fucking dive

By a low input delay monitor, make sure your opponent also have a low input delay monitor as well.

Three Houses kinda does, but only at higher skill levels.

Marth, Ike, Hector, Dimitri. Lucina can be kept as a clone

Pig Ganon was my fourth choice for zelda, I don't typically include him in my lists though because I feel greedy. My only worry is that being both a zoner, a heavy and a swordie, he embodies the wi-fi metagolem in its entirety and would have to be shit forever so shitters don't complain about losing to him. I do think that having the large hitbox he would have with trident attacks would be a step towards having a viable heavy character Sakurai willing. The whole archetype is kind of hard to work in platform fighters since they're based highly around mobility.

The tilt stick things fuck me up so bad I have to avoid Plant, Snake, Bayonetta and Hero entirely.

His name is actually just Ganon. Ganondorf is the human form.

Iconic means what something is known for. Dismissing someone's claim as not being iconic 'because he's a secondary' actually supports his points since if a mechanic is only known/thought of by established or hardcroe fans of the series, it's not iconic since most people don't know it.
The most iconic thing about Mario is the mushroom. It's a key element of gameplay that differentiates Mario from other platformers despite not being in all of the games. Fire Emblem's weapons system is also a unique element of gameplay that differentiates FE from other strategy RPGs.
What are the most well known/iconic FE games? I'd claim 7 and Awakening. Weapon Triangle is a key part of both games.
>They added the WT to two other remakes
How can you say this and still not recognize the importance of Weapon Triangle to the franchise?

She's a fucking mouthbreather
>what should I name my evil alter ego
>hmmmmmmm
>considering I'm about to become emperor and I wear lots of red, I should probably name myself something that has nothing to do with it
>how about.... flame emperor?

>clones can't be clones any more
Explain Falco to me please. I'll give you Falcon and Dorf feeling different enough, but Falco/Fox were still identical minus their reflector.

Agreed
Having Ganondorf appear in Melee was a mistake, that version of him is too liked to be cut, but too wrong to stay
When was the last time we saw Ganon as a demon pig?
People have forgotten that design and mostly remenber the human incarnations of him.

All that they really need to do is just put in Sigurd as a fighter with a mount/dismount mechanic and Leif with the Lightsword and weapon triangle; and a villain.

Leif is almost too based for smash bros.
Actually a healing staff that has a chance to miss would be perfect as an item in this game

Attached: Leif Normal.png (1600x1920, 1.24M)

>Remove Chrom
>Make Lucina an alt for Marth
I would remove Corrin as well but that's just me not giving a fuck about the character

Keep marth ike and corrin, remove lucina and chrom, turn robin into celica

Marth
Lyn (bow+sword)
Ike
Robin
Edelgard

Keep Morth, Ike, and Robin. Morth because OG, Ike because too many fags would whine if he got the boot and there really isn't a better heavy swordsman off the top of my head (despite Ike being slow is fucking incorrect, he has great spd growths), Robin because in a series where almost all the MCs have prfs, he's one of the only ways durability can be shown.
If Corrin is to be cut, replace with Tiki. If Corrin is to stay, make more of her moves use dragonstone. I don't care either way and I can see arguments for both.
Add Anna, she uses all physical weapons that she pulls out from her inventory, axes, bows, lances, and swords. Fuck heroes Anna, what a shit design.
If another must be added, azura

>When was the last time we saw Ganon as a demon pig?
BoTW

I'm pretty sure there's no units that have a greatsword/heavy fighting style aside from Ike.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but i think Ike as a whole should be replaced by an Axe user (i'd say Hector ; though i don't know the character much, he's at least the MC in his game from what i understand).

Awakening saved FE's ass, so Robin deserves to stay; but Chrom should just be an Alternate skin to Roy (if he even stays). And i know Corrin (like Robin) has an original fighting style but... from my POV, Corrin suffers from the same thing as Ike - they both nearly killed their series and don't really deserve to be there.

-Marth (Swordfighter)
- Hector/Edelgard/Walhart (Axe User / Replacing Ike)
- Robin (Fully-fledged Magic User; more darkness-related attacks added; maybe more references to Grima)

and in addition :

- Byleth (In a scenario where the Belmonts don't make a return; Byleth would make a great replacement for the whip mechanics. But if the Belmonts are here; unecessary)
- Dimitri/Edelgard/Claude : might be an already popular & stupid idea but compiling them all three into a Pokemon-trainer-like mechanic could be nice. Claude for fast attacks, but shit at close-range. Dimitri would be good at melee and have an Ike-esque reach on top of dealing medium damages - but a shit recovery. Edelgard as a Charizard-esquivalent - great reach but slow as fuck and her Recovery would be a spin on the Pin-attack of Corrin; having her stab the stage with her axe to get back up.

Marth Ike Robin. Solid representation of the history of the series (Japanese exclusive, brought over to the west, and nuFE), and all have unique movesets.

Corrin pure Dragonstone moves:
>Bair
>Dair
>UpSmash
>Neutral Special
>Side Special
>Up Special
>Down Special
>Fsmash
Total: 8

Corrin pure Sword attacks
>Fair
>Upair
>Side tilt
>Down Tilt
>Up tilt
>Get up attack
>Ledge attack
>Dash attack
Total: 8

Both are used:
>Jab
>Nair
>D Smash
>FSmash
Total: 4

It's a clean 50/50 split actually, the disparity between the sword attacks being easy to use neutral tools and the dragonstone moves being difficult to use high power moves with lots of special effects is a large part of the reason why the kit feels so good for me to play.

Oh fuck I wrote Fsmash for final smash.

Fuck I didn't finish it yet, I've only seen him as the spider

it isn't """"really"""" Pig-Ganon though. I'm not gonna spoil you but let's say that thing really is "too big for smash".

More like too pig for smash.

Lucina as a separate character is pretty much just "Marth with training wheels", it would make her more interesting to play if she were to have Marth's tippers.

Because the matter is all perception. If Cloud's alternate costume were an echo called Claude then people would go "wtf why are there two Clouds?" Lucina could literally be a Marth costume that retains all gameplay changes and people would go "I'm glad Sakurai finally fixed that"
Think about the unlocking process, where you unlock fucking marth, then a new challenger appears and it's fucking lucina, then a new challenger appears and it's fucking roy, then a new challenger appears and it's fucking chrom. To a simpleton, this is a personal attack.

Falco's Jab, Utilt, Fsmash, Fair, Nair, Uair, Down B and arguably Bair were completely different, and his Neutral B, Up B, Side B, Dtilt, Uthrow, Bthrow and Dair worked differently8

Keep it as is and Add:
Byleth (Controls Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude like Pokemon Trainer)
Hector

Perfection.

This is fucking retarded and was obviously written by someone who started at Awakening and only went back to older games to look cool

That actually solves a problem I've had with people asking for three houses characters, is that three houses is so character-based you can't get the full picture with just one.
Weapon triangle fags are the worst, they don't care about gameplay much at all. It's like wanting every pokemon type represented.

Get rid of Corrin, Chrom, Robin, and Roy. Replace them with Lyn, Camilla, and Byleth.

i mean how is this not true? there are like furry niggas and dragons and shit in fire emblem and almost everyone is a blue haired sword faggot lol. robin and chrom are the only uniques one, roy chrom and lucina are absolutely unecessary

You don't need "the full picture" for a crossover fighting game, you just need the central player character.

Yeah, I forgot to put that I only think it's a good idea ironically. OP is a based retard.

Whip sword is too cool to leave on the bench.

i understand getting rid of Corrin Chrom and Roy but why Robin?
out of all the FE characters in smash, he's the only one with something original to offer.

He's a gamer.

You type like a fag.

Then he should want robin to stay.

>Meta Knight
was never fucking fun, get your head out of your ass. In Brawl and PM he was way too good so anyone halfway decent with him would just wither curbstomp or play a ditto, and in 4 he was so mediocre that you couldn't get far with him anyways
Also the justification for jump momentum and ledge mechanics will always be balance pretty much, and the short hop thing is negligible

Much like Lucario, or Captain Falcon, or Ness, or Jigglypuff, Ike is a popular character, so his chances of being cut are low. I still don't even see why cuts are necessary. The game should be like DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi; just add a hundred characters. It's more fun that way.

Indeed, thanks to Corrins small dragon form, and the fact that in fates she fights with mid transforming moves makes Corring the best Manakete to add.

>The Fire Emblem bloat is really just because of luck and happenstance.

Sakurai: wow I keep accidentally adding characters from my favorite series whoops haha

>Marth, Ike, Robin and Corrin are fully unique characters, while Roy was initially added as a clone of Marth, and Lucina and Chrom are both glorified alt costumes that didn't take any development time outside of just getting rid of the sweetspots on their attacks (and Chrom having Ike's Up B

> and some clones isn't that bad for a long running series with over 14 games that's recently broken out in popularity.

I never understood this argument. It took 20 years to become a B tier franchise.......so it deserves to be treated like an A tier?

It became worldwide popular with Fates, so Nintendo is shilling it as hard as possible.

>being a dragon makes a move automatically unique, even though the only move that isn't similar to anything already in the game is side b
>SWORD MOVES DON'T COUNT THOUGH, JUST AESTHETIC

Also nair uses the sword as well though so Corrin technically uses more sword than dragon, lmao.

How the fuck do you look at Captain Falcon/Ness in 64 all the way up to Banjo Kazooie in Ultimate and think "yeeeesss, the saaaales are what mattersss"

i would make them more diverse instead of being sword clones
robin is the only one that has a unique playstyle

just play Hero, he's a way better Robin

Fates barely sold better than Awakening and neither are within the top 10 best selling 3DS games. 3H isn't going to end up in the top 10 best selling switch games (might not be ever)

This seems like a ton of effort to make FE a B tier franchise when other Nintendo games have made those sales since they started.

Actually all of them have unique playstyles

>B-b-but the same moveset

Tippers and different moves have a massive effect on playstyle

>3H wont end up in the top 10
What a stupid statement to make, its the second most popular Switch game next to fucking Smash.
>B-b-but show me the sales
At the next quarterly report, dick.

It literally does matter if you're a franchise that isn't Fire Emblem. Do you think it's a coincidence that Mario and Pokemon have 10+ characters and Zelda is the only other IP with 6+ characters?

Also Banjo sold better than literally every FE game LMAO

>What a stupid statement to make, its the second most popular Switch game next to fucking Smash.

Even if 3H sold double of Fates it wouldn't even be within the top 5.

It doesn't matter period, show me a statement by Sakurai or Nintendo that says it does, or admit you're doing nothing but Theorycrafting and recognize how completely worthless your posts have been

You have no idea what the word "unique" means, do you. Lacking tippers does nothing to change the fact Lucina and Chrom are 1:1 Marth and Roy/Ike in moves, weight, animations, and physics.

You said "They share the same playstyle" which is objectively wrong by a large margin for all 4 characters

>Zelda is the only other IP with 6+ characters
>three Links
>two Zeldas
>Ganondorf
That's hardly something to be proud about.

>4 franchises have 6+ characters
>3 of them are among the most popular video game franchises of all time
>NUH-UH JUST A COINCIDENCE

That still doesn't make them unique characters.

It actually does in terms of gameplay, or are you gonna tell me Toon Link and Young Link play the same?

>>two Zeldas

Have more differences than each other than most FE characters do despite being literally the same person LMAO

Your entire post is blatantly wrong on multiple levels. I think I recognize you., we've had this argument many times before. Play the game fag.

Still incredibly lazy. I know you people wouldn't mind the entire roster being every iteration of Link, Zelda, and Ganon throughout the Zelda franchise but I think it's both lazy as shit and retarded.

Know what would make them unique? Having different weapons, stats, physics, etc.

I'm like one of the ten people that doesn't think we should fellate FE characters when they happen to decide not to be a clone so probably. Corrin wasn't any more unique than the non-clone newcomers of Smash 4

They are all Unique as is

I feel the same way. I wouldn't so much if Sheik had never been introduced, but since she is and Sheik was a one-off character, why does EVERY OTHER one off character in Zelda that was more important than Sheik was in OoT get neglected?

Midna and Ghirahim would've been fine.

Hero is Robin for people who are too tiny-brained to play Robin

uhhhh....because they're not muh protagonists which i totally believe in(not just because it's convenient for fe), and is totally consistent with smash rosters logic. btw please give me edelgard, tiki, annna, and black knight next game

Technically speaking, every Mario character aside from Rosalina and Plant were protagonists at one point

Sheik should have been replaced with Impa who would keep Sheik's moveset. As for the Links they could have been replaced with Zant and Ghirahim.

If you adore clones.

Heres how I fix it. Cut it down to just Marth, Roy, Ike, and Robin. Keep Chrom as an echo, but cut Lucina due to not being needed. Same applies to Corrin, Corrin is forced and not exactly needed.

If we need to keep the number of reps the same, Add Anna and Hector. Simple and easy.

what? literally every series with three or more reps only uses reoccurring characters, with the only exception being FE and Shiek. FE is because of the cyclical cast, obviously, but Shiek is either a holdover form the swap mechanic and fact that both "everyone is here" and the fact that she's just Zelda.
The "important characters" meme isn't just a meme, Skull Kid and Midna mean jack shit in the grand heme of Zelda, they were literal one-offs inb4 muh uncofirmed theory that Skull Kid from Twilight Princess was from Majora's Mask

It's especially weird because he let Roy off the hook two sentences ago.

>what? literally every series with three or more reps only uses reoccurring characters

Uprising. Also lol at having to limit it to 3 or more characters. If Xenoblade followed that "uhhhh EVERY SINGLE GAME HAS TO GET A NEW REP" rule FE fans made up it would also break that rule.

> FE is because of the cyclical cast, obviously

It's because Sakurai is obsessed with FE.

Dark Pit is a low-effort clone and Palutena was there since the beginning, but yeah, its another exception.

He himself had reservations about adding Corrin, he thinks there are enough fighters already.
>UHHH PLEASE GIVE BLACK KNIGHT AND ANNA EVEN THOUGH SHE JUST SELLS WEAPONS SO IMPORTANT
Black Knight was one of the main villians in two games with the most popular character in the series, and Anna has been in nearly every game and is the series' unofficial mascot. Try harder, not that I want either anyways
