Took this on the mobile smash site. Lucina is her own character. I guess the main site is derping or having trouble keeping all the characters in a rectangle or something.

 

ALTERNATELY, because her into image and Robin's are the same.

But you see, it's very hard to animate woman, and it's less time consuming than making a trophy for a game that they're not making, especially one that's shaping up to be one of the biggest system sellers for a console that they've been half-assing so that, when sales are bad, they can blame the sales.

Anyway, I think Chrom is supposed to be an alternate skin for Lucina. I was not expecting Robin, but that was nice. I was hoping for Shulk, though, but this is just as fine.

He's Robin's final smash. A pair attack.

 

Lucina and Chrom sharing a body would be weird because Chrom fights really differently than Lucina...

Chrom's style of fighting is closer to Ike than Marth but has elements of both.

Potentialwise, Chrom's pretty mediocre whereas Ike was borderline bork in RD.

So for a split second in the trailer you can see the blue flames on Ike that I mentioned earlier. From the motion and sound I think it's his Eruption, which means the screenshot from an earlier daily update that showed Eruption wasn't finalized. I'm glad they did this for aesthetic and lore purposes.

 

And yeah, Chrom ain't got nothing on Ike (and their style isn't really similar, either, Ike played similarly to the Mercenary/Hero classes). I mean, has there been any other FE Lords where their games are easier if you go solo with them, using no other units?

So seeing as 5 characters is basically the limit for any single franchise, let's see what we got:

 

Mario: 5

Pokemon: 4

Fire Emblem: 4

Zelda: 4

Kid Icarus: 2

Metroid: 2

Donkey Kong: 2

Kirby: 2

Sonic: 1

Star Fox: 1

Pikman: 1

Mega Man: 1

Animal Crossing: 1

Wii Fit: 1

Mii Maker?: 1

F-ZERO: 1

Yoshi: 1

Pac-Man: 1

 

Zelda and Pokémon are still the only two games I can see getting to 5 at this point. We're at 35. That's more than Brawl.

Zelda and Mario might end up getting 6, honestly. I can't imagine they wouldn't put Ghirahim in, but I also can't see them cutting Ganondorf. Mario must have someone else they can put in to not be outnumbered, not that it needs it.

Close enough.

Zant was also much. much less popular, due to how badly they handled the last part of TP.

 

Ghirahim is the fan favorite antag easily, possibly moreso than even side characters like Groose in popularity.

 

And very few people like Dorf.

He's in if they go 6, I'd agree, but I don't see them cutting the main antagonist of Zelda.

 

He better be an assist trophy at the very least tho

How dare you?

How dare you?!

I mean very few do, he's a really poorly written character bar in Wind Waker... And I mean in terms of LoZ, not SSB.

 

Just stating the likely truth. Their popularity is at least comparable. I mean, I haven't seen a playable Groose reveal for Hyrule Warriors, but I've sure seen a villain Ghirahim reveal. And they're going after hype a bit there, too.
