Agro Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Something I didn't realize until now, but Lucina's opening title has a question mark. Has that happened for any other character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reveal has made me question my life... That's just Sakurai acknowledging of the Gematsu Leaks and trolling us about Chrom not being a playable character.

Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqaQpGnMbj8 Never occurred to me that the silver Captain Falcon was just the Metal Box. Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 2 more Fire Emblem Reps? Guess I can deal with that..... Would have been nice to see a newcomer from a more Niche franchise though (Olimar from Pikmin was a great example of this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Until Awakening Fire Emblem was niche outside of Japan I always thought that Marth and Roy in Melee made a huge impact on the west. Because of this we got 2 games for the GBA and 1 for the Gamecube. I know that Marth was received especially well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Roy hadn't even come out in Japan yet before Melee, and Marth wasn't too popular yet. Ike helped it along quite a bit. He's generally well liked in the west, definitely more here than in Japan, and he got two fairly popular games that were released internationally. By that time FE was getting more popular, but Awakening is definitely what made it into a hugely popular franchise for Nintendo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Man there are STILL people angry that they put in 4 FE characters into this game. "Why put 4 characters into a game no one knows about." Seriously, some people. Anyway, something that was noted about Lucina is that her recovery from falling after her Nair in the trailer was virtually nothing. Like, Marth had issues with this in the demo, but Lucina looks like she can be a great aerial character. There's also the thought that she may be faster than Marth, who was already pretty quick, albeit maybe they slack off on the power more. Man, you don't know what I wouldn't give for her to play exactly how I think she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah Fire Emblem wasn't very well known at all, it's a shame. Plenty of people don't even realize how many there are. (More than half the games never made it out of Japan.) And of course people complain.....So we're still not sure if Lucina is her own character yet or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 So we're still not sure if Lucina is her own character yet or what? Slowpoke... Lucina has her own character page on the Smash Bros website. I'll let you fill the blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Pic of the day. Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth's--it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She's also a little bit shorter than Marth. With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot. That is why you can select Lucina individually. By the way…there's probably no chance you'll be able to see this in the game, but Lucina has the mark of Naga in her left eye. As much as I love Fire Emblem, my favorite part of that reveal was probably Captain Falcon. Before the trailer had even begun, he put Chrom out on his ass. Then he nearly takes off Lucina's head with a normal punch (the sound effect was like a small sonic boom), and casually brushes aside her sword thrust before that awesome kick. Robin came in and saved Lucina, but it took 3 people to handle the Falcon. All the while he's got that cheeky little smirk on his face: Man's a legend.

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 That's cool to know with gender-switching characters. And this basically confirmed Lucina will play like Roy without the fire, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I imagine she'll be even more similar to Marth, maybe even a faster version instead of a slower one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Again, I hate how Lucina is a clone of Marth. Sakurai didn't even hide it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think the think that bugs me most about Lucina is that she looks SO much like Marth. Regardless, should be interesting seeing how the two differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 From what we've seen so far, she may be as much of a clone character as the kind we had in Melee, which is why a lot of people, myself included, thought she might just be a reskin. But since she's not a reskin, hopefully she'll have enough differences to justify it, like with the semi-clones in Brawl. Though I am extremely satisfied at the mere idea of 4 FE reps. It's awesome.

Regardless, should be interesting seeing how the two differ. Again, I hate how Lucina is a clone of Marth. Sakurai didn't even hide it either. She is a descendant of Marth, so she's supposed to look and be like Marth but I do get the point. I'm certain there will be differences however. And honestly, I do not mind one or two semi-clones with such a huge cast of characters. And in this kind of game, even slight differences can be huge. If she's slightly faster, slightly shorter reach, etc, etc, she'll play different. So I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I hope we get a costume where she's in her Marth disguise. Bonus if they even use her deeper voice. Yukata Lucina, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 1. OMG FE characters <3 2. Cpt.Falcon is back...huh.. :3 Also I'm fine with Jigglypuff. Her fighting style is likely more unique than a lot of other Pokemon that could be added. Also she's SO KEWT o3o Oh and I like how Marth's and Lucina's swords have different 'best ways to use' =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Since you can apparently mess with voices now, I'm wondering if there's an option to turn them off. Just because characters like Robin and Palutena constantly shouting their attack names will probably get old after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's slightly faster, slightly shorter reach, etc, etc, she'll play different. So I'm not worried. I figured as much. Honestly, it doesn't bug me that much that she is a clone. She wasn't hyped during the reveal for a reason. Sure, I wish we'd gotten another more original character, but as said Toon Link through that out a while ago. I think the fact that she looks like Marth bugs me is because in a large cast having two characters that look (and play) a like is just a bit jarring when everone else has such a unique design. I do like her, and I do agree she will be different enough from Marth, but I just wish she had a more distinct look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
