Well, if he's not a shadow dragon in Shadow Dragon, then he's not the titular Shadow Dragon, as I thought.

He is. Its just that its the fancy evil title/epithet I was talking about tongue

Basically he is Earth Dragon called Shadow Dragon because he is so eeeevil and he returns back in sequel through dark ritual that changed him so that his class is actually "Dark/shadow dragon".

Honestly, the other fire emblem representative should be Hector, simply because no one else in smash brothers has used an axe...

And this is coming from some one who really wanted Luciana.

At least Luciana has a fair chance of being a cool costume. Including unique voice acting~

Shadow?

Isaac could perhaps be an axe-wielding character.

Honestly, I gave Isaac Gaia's Ax but unless he ends up on the roster with Felix already using the Sol Blade, I doubt he would in Smash based on the fact his trophy specifically described him as a "swordsman".

Aaaaand thats another thing: Why there should be axe or lance or magic using fire emblem character? Is there any good reason that Fire Emblem shouldn't only have sword lords in Smash Bros?

Because it misrepresents what Fire Emblem is all about?

Most people end up getting the stigma that Fire Emblem is all about swords with how it's been represented in Smash.

Because there's so much more to Fire Emblem than blue-haired swordsman?

I legitimately don't get why that's in question.

^^Yes? There is more to Star Fox than space animals with guns but that doesn't mean they should add character from series just to be different.

Star Fox is about mainly flight combat. It's hard to represent that in a series that focuses on on-foot melee combat. Some things you simply can't represent in that series. There's a lot more to Fire Emblem that can be represented that hasn't been.

The theme for Fire Emblem is mainly medieval-themed strategy. So far they've only had the medieval thing going for it.

You missed my point.

I mean, sure, you could give Fox pistols, Falco a sniper rifle and Wolf a gatling gun, but is that really the important part? Is having Fire Emblem character that uses axe meaningful?

Nap1100 Since: Mar, 2012
#31314: Dec 31st 2013 at 9:20:46 AM

Yes. Fire Emblem has always had the Weapon Triangle thing going as a constant theme. It just never gets shown in Smash because they always go for the main heroes, and of course, Heroes Prefer Swords.

When a Lord shows up that doesn't use a sword, that immediately presents some potential to show that theme. To ignore that is frankly a bit stupid.

Personally, I don't want them to add a character if he's just going to be the same.

And in addition to various melee weapons, there are classes who cast spells classes who ride horses, classes who ride dragons, classes who are dragons... There's more than could be reasonably represented, but a little more variety would be nice.

Some days talking about Fire Emblem in Smash just makes me want them to make a Fire Emblem fighting game so people can get everyone they want.

But sadly none of them are main charecters.

In addition Micaiah would kinda not fit as a fire emblem rep.

Meaning the most unique you can get is Hector and Ephraim, but sacred stones is kinda.... an oddball in the series, making Ephraim's chance very slim.

Thinking even more about Nintendo Land, I wonder if we'll be seeing Monita as an Assist Trophy (also, the ? Blocks could be a nice thing replace Assist Trophies in general). She could be like Resetti, but instead of yelling about stuff she would give an obstructive and slightly sarcastic history/description of something onscreen.

Robin is pretty unique, and a main character.

[up][up]I just googled 'Nintendo Land Monita' and good god what-

Anyway, I'd think it'd be neat if we could change Coins to Rupees, or Bananas, depending on stage.

The problem is you as a player make Robin, and thus importing her into any other game is kinda a bad idea.

I guess you could go heavy on the admitantly aswosme cloak, and have male and female costumes.

But thats about it.

A Monita assist trophy should definitely either do the Resetti-like thing, or turn your enemies into weaker, fake versions of themselves made of string and plush.

[up]Personally I think Robin has enough "default" stuff to work, but I see where you're coming from.

Can any one make better excuse not to put Robin in other then "durr, s/he's customizeable". Seriously, that's the only reason why you people argue against her.

You could also make a case for Tiki. True, she's never the main protagonist, but she's been in Shadow Dragon and Awakening, and is fairly prominent, at least from an overall story standpoint.

Tiki would be awsome actualy, always have been a fan of Mamkutes
