Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Remember when everyone just figured that Chrom would replace Ike and that would be that with just 2 Fire Emblem reps? Heh. From Sakurai's Miiverse the other day: "And welcome back, Captain Falcon!! When are you ever getting a new game of your own?" So we're obviously well past the point that Captain Falcon is most known for Smash Bros. and just being Captain Falcon. I do hope we at least get a new F-Zero game during the WiiU's lifetime.

IF Nintendo decides to make another racing game besides Mario Kart, it should definitely be a long-awaited F-Zero game with Wii-U graphics.

Lonk Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Remember when everyone just figured that Chrom would replace Ike and that would be that with just 2 Fire Emblem reps? Heh. I personally would have been fine with 3 FE Representatives. 4 is overkill, even with the popularity of Awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 4's not really overkill since one of them is a clone/semi-clone. And FE is plenty deserving of 4 reps regardless, especially considering how freaking many characters the series has. I find it funny people are saying Captain Falcon beat Chrom so hard he knocked him out of the roster. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think I read somewhere that they didn't have any new ideas or direction to take F-Zero in. But that's bollocks, Nintendo could definitely come up with something awesome if they put their think tank to work on it. And with a Star Fox game after so long, maybe they'll start revisiting other franchises as well. And like the Miiverse post above implies, Captain Falcon is pretty well known at this point just for being Captain Falcon rather than representing F-Zero. So his preceding reputation can help bolster hype behind a new F-Zero. It worked for Pit and Kid Icarus, why not for them? I think Fire Emblem's catapulting into popularity warrants that many now. Awakening is the best-selling 3DS title last time I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well that's not even close. As of May, this is the top 3DS games list. Pokemon X/Y — 12.26 million copies Mario Kart 7 — 9.62 million copies Super Mario 3D Land — 9.27 million copies New Super Mario Bros. 2 — 7.82 million copies Animal Crossing: New Leaf — 7.66 million copies Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon — 3.98 million copies The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D — 3.35 million copies Nintendogs + Cats — 3.5 million copies The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds — 2.51 million copies Paper Mario: Sticker Star — 2.21 million copies Mario & Luigi: Dream Team — 2.08 million copies Tomodachi Life — 1.85 million copies Awakening is somewhere about 1.2 million, I think.

Lonk Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Awakening is the best-selling 3DS title last time I checked. Pokemon X/Y say hi. Regardless, I'm probably just not comfortable with Lucina being in. I didn't like using her as a unit and she was my least favorite of the second generation characters.

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Why'd I remember that so wrong .___. Well, regardless, I've felt FE's shift in popularity IRL too. It's nice to see that kind of progress from Melee where no one knew who the hell Marth or Roy were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she's an infinitely better unit that shitty Chrom, who is also Generic McLord... And FE:A was top seller for its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't like her as a character (which explains why I don't use her too often). Chrom sucks as well while Robin definitely earned his slot on the roster.

Shradow Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah, Chrom was a very mediocre Lord, both in character and stats. Ike will forever be my favorite, partially due to him being in Brawl is what got me into Fire Emblem, partially because he's the strongest Lord (arguably), even in-universe. I also like his character, like his bluntness and the fact he's the only non-royal Lord. And he's just a good old major badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Seeing as Fire Emblem now has 14 games, I think 4 characters is perfectly fine. Is there any more information how the limited use spells are going to work for Robin? I found that really interesting but I don't know much of how it works.

Shradow Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 "Pic of the day. The Levin sword and tomes are Robin's life lines. The Levin sword can be activated by using smash attacks--you can even activate these moves in midair! However, just like in the original game, the Levin sword can be used only a limited number of times before it breaks, at which point it takes some time to regenerate. When the Levin sword is unavailable, Robin fights using the bronze sword." Interesting. So Robin has midair smash attacks. He/she starts off with access to both the Levin Sword and Tomes and can use them interchangeably, and they work off of a cooldown when they break. I hope they buff Captain Falcon enough for this one. The last game butchered him with his hitboxes and priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Alright, that's pretty cool. Still don't know how many uses or what the cooldown time is but should be interesting. Seems pretty tactical which makes sense. I think I'm gonna be spending some time learning how best to use Robin once I get the game. Should be fun.

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 That's cool, though I'm getting the feeling I won't be that good playing as Robin. Just a feeling I'm getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Robin's going to be high risk high reward like snake, Lucina is going to work similarly to Marth but with less priority on the combos and more hard hitting, some what of a mid ground between ike and marth, Chrom will probably work very similarly to Marth or a copy pasta of Lucina. OR I could entirely be wrong, in both cases though I think I'm fine either way, anyone complaining about more things being added is a twat.

Shradow Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Chrom will probably work very similarly to Marth or a copy pasta of Lucina. Chrom isn't playable, he's just part of Robin's FS. So, show of hands, who was everyone's favorite part of the reveal? Lucina, Robin, or Captain Falcon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucina, Robin, or Captain Falcon? You know I was going to type in "if he is playable" but then I didn't want to seem like a crack head. sooo I have that going for me. Probably Robin, I had no doubt in my mind that Falcon was going to be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 My favorite part is definitely Falcon, as I already mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrFE63fpG98&t=38s See, this guy knows what's up.

He's so badass that he traveled to a completely different dimension just to see if the people there can show him their moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think you can guess my favorite part of the reveal. In case you can't, it was Robin, it basically was the thing I needed to fully and completely love the game. I doubt I'll be good with Robin, I doubt I'll be good in general, and Robin looks a bit tricky to use. But I'm going to play Robin a ton anyway. Lucina being a middle ground between Marth and Ike would work (I mean, I pretty much thought of Chrom, her father, as a mix of the two to begin with.).

Captain Falcon, followed by when Chrom said "I guess I'll get my turn another time." (It went along the lines of that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
