Maybe, but Chrom and Marth are actually pretty dissimilar. Appearances aside, Chrom's fighting style is much rougher than Marth's, though not as much as Ike's incompletely trained style. And again- Lances!

There's another Awakening character I'd love to see as an alt for Marth, but it would call for alternate voice tracks, at the very least.

[up]Well I don't think voice tracks will be a problem considering they're adding a Male Wii Fit Trainer costume.

[up][up]Most people would prefer Lucina (Masked), I imagine.

I just wish we could get representation from the other continuities besides Awakening and Tellius. I guess Roy represents Elibe but there are two characters in the prequel that blow him out of the water in terms of potential.

And Nintendo hates Jugdral apparently.

@Pulse: I think it's possible that SSB4's Marth is actually based on them. I mean, look at him!

[up][up]Elibe was not well-liked in Japan and Jugdral has never seen the light of day outside of it and only has a lukewarm reception in its home country despite a cult following online, whereas Akenia has a First Installment Wins element in Japan and Tellius was well-received everywhere. Awakening technically takes place on Akenia, but is essentially a new setting. Nevertheless, it hit it even bigger than any previous game.

[up]That's pretty clearly a variation on his appearance in Shadow Dragon/New Mystery. The boots are the big giveaway, though.

I can understand Jugdral, but Elibe? Isn't that one of the more popular continuities on this side of the coast?

And why does Japan not like Elibe anyway? Is it because they just prefer Aikenia?

Roy's game was kinda unbalanced and weird, and FE7 turned off a lot of veterans with its Forced Tutorial- You may have noticed that Lyn isn't as popular in Japan as she is elsewhere. There's a little Pokemon-style Gen Wunning for Akenia, but not as much as a lot of people seem to think.

Ah, that makes more sense. I don't really know much about Lyn's popularity anywhere, really. All I know is that Hector was one of the more popular lords in the course of the franchise which is why Ike was somewhat modeled after him.

Hector is liked in Japan in a "if only he were in a better game" way, hence Ike's huge popularity.

I really would prefer a spellcaster to another Sword Lord. So, Micaiah or Robin.

Micaiah is massively outshone by Ike in the one game she appears in, and Robin is extremely variable, to the point where even their gender and age can't be said for sure.

[up]Tiki fights by transforming into a dragon.

I don't know about the other game(s?) she's in, but in Awakening, she doesn't really use any weapons. She just kind of uses the fact that she's a dragon.

Manakete attacks are just shooting divine energy out of their mouthes (I think the other games had other manaketes that did different things, like using fire breath or ice breath), but I imagine Tiki could also use her claws, tail, and teeth to fight in a Smash Bros game.

Sheik'd.

Robin could be another character to use multiple models.

@Pulse: They could just base Robin's appearance off the default look, and make them look androgynous.

Or just keep the hood up and have medium height and a unisex voice.

The thing is, Robin's whole point is being massively customizable. It seems counter to the spirit of the character to make a generic version of them.

You could say the same of the Villager.

Since we know that two-gender characters are a thing, that removes the biggest barrier to entry on Robin's part. They could still go with an androgynous voice just to save on production value

Keeping the hood up would add to the mysterious factor too. Would the Final Smash be turning into Grima?

My guess is, if Robin appeared in Smash, his/her FS would be Ignis.

I still doubt it.

You could say the same of the Villager.
Villager at least always has the same proportions and such.

But Villager is still really customisable. And the height is just as asthetic as the hairstyle and eye color. In the end, the character is exactly the same anyway other than stat growths. Robin will just be the default setting like Villager.

And I'd be super disappointed if Robin couldn't transform epically and just did an Ignis...[lol]

For me, the ideal moveset for Robin would be:

B: Fire or Wind or Thunder: A basic projectile attack with a magic tome. Any tome would work really.

B>: Ignis: A powerful sword dash attack with a light blue aura and cherry blossom effects.

B^: Recovery Tactics: Marth's Dolphin Slash with another name. Sorry for the lack of creativity on this one. Could someone please have a better idea?

Bv: Counter: He is a Fire Emblem character after all.

Final Smash: Grima: PLOT TWIST. The Robin you thought you were using is not the Robin you were using. Instead were playing as the evil alternate timeline all along. Now you are an almighty Fell Dragon and can fly through the stage, spawning spikes all over your body and shooting Expiration through your mouth.

My vote- Give Ike a short-ranged Sword Beam for a Standard Special and make his Down Special Eruption.
