*Walks in and sees discussion*

... You know, I know SmashEra has had far worse things brought up.

But I'm out for the night.

Someone call me when we get to either Portal or Dixie Kong discussion.

I really hope they reveal the sixth character when Byleth is released. If they sell the season pass with no characters revealed, that'd be some shit, especially if you were disappointed with the first pack.

In an alternate timeline, we got Leif instead of Roy and Celica as a Robin echo instead of Chrom.

Celica as a Robin Echo would have been perfect. Much more original visually and mechanically.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a Seth reveal with the announcement of SFV: Switch Edition

Wouldn't Ike make more sense?

Roy only got in because they needed a quick clone of Marth to pad Melee's roster. Hell, Lyn didn't even exist when the clones were added in Melee, did she?

I'd say her one and only chance was with Brawl, and well...
Wouldn't that be instead of Ike? I doubt Lyn was even a concept in someone's mind when Roy was added.
Lyn as a Marth clone would've been terrible
I just said Roy because Lyn's game is his' prequel.

I didn't put that much thought into it.

I was gonna say, that'd be terrible, but then I remembered that genderfluid Seth is a thing


Nah.

1. Sakurai didn't need to choose Byleth
2. Sakurai didn't need to choose Chrom
3. Sakurai didn't need to even make Robin a sword user

We coulda gotten Celica instead of Chrom, one of the House leaders instead of Byleth. Or hell, Sakurai could have straight up gave us Micaiah instead of Ike.

Edelgard was right because blue is ugly. Yellow is alright and that's why she let Claude live.

Fire Emblem has a more exciting assortment of Assist Trophies in Smash over the playable characters.


I have no clue who that is, but right on.

Endeavor is a character in My Hero Academia who viciously abused his family, forcing a woman into marriage with him until she produced a son with both of their powers after like four kids. His wife was driven insane by all the abuse and scalded their son with hot water whereupon she was confined to an asylum.

By the way he's a good guy now because he wants to be a real hero for his son, and we know he's not a bad person because he sends his wife her favourite flowers.

Yeah, fuck Endeavor. Deku becoming #1 can't come soon enough.

Sounds like a great guy.

Ike should stay because he's a gay icon.

The rest of these goobers can get lost.

Wait. I'm lost. Did people actually think Lyn was an option when Roy was added to Melee?

If I were starting from scratch with Fire Emblem right now for Ultimate, give the same number of "slots," I'd actually probably hew pretty close to what Sakurai did.

Marth (+ Lucina echo)
Lyn
Ike (+ Chrom echo)
Robin
Byleth
Anna

Marth as the OG, Ike is a must, and I personally like Robin as a unique Awakening rep (with the other two as clones) and Byleth as the Three Houses rep. I think Roy and Corrin are the only two dead weight characters.

So cutting those two, I'd go with Lyn as the best choice for the GBA era, since she's endured as a popular character and would have a pretty unique moveset. And I personally would slot in Anna as the eighth pick, to have another female character a nice "across the series" option. I could see Tiki filling a similar role, or maybe what's her name from Heroes... just a sort of "out there" character that doesn't really use swords.

Chrom wouldn't work as an Ike clone.
