But Faw, he'd slash diagonally, as opposed to Ike's vertical slashing, and Marth's horizontal slashing! Totally different.

Now you're getting into the spirit!tongue

Man, so much hate going on for Chrom here. Speaking of hate, am I the only one that finds it amusing that over half the newcomers announced are listed as BaseBreakers?

That's what happens when a franchise has a huge base to break.

I just noticed that we have 30 characters revealed so far!

So easily this game has more characters than Brawl I assume.

Does anyone else think it's probable that one of the two other Star Fox characters will get axed?

[up]Go to Mii Maker, select QR Code/Image Options, then select Scan QR Code and scan the image.

At least, that's how it works in the 3DS Mii Maker.

I had a theory that the Gematsu (is that how you spell it?) leaker works at E3 somehow and knew the Smash Bros characters that would be revealed there, and put in other characters he thought were probable. That would explain why Rosalina wasn't listed, why he put "Pokemon from X/Y", and maybe even why he put Animal Crossing Boy instead of Villager (maybe he saw part of his trailer, but forgot the name?)

Probably not what happened, but if Gematsu is the main topic of discussion now, figured I'd go ahead and throw that in there.

I think if any Star Fox character got axed, Wolf would go before Falco. Even though his moveset is more unique, Falco is extremely popular in Japan and has been in since Melee, while Wolf was the last character unlocked in Brawl.

I don't want to see either go, personally. I would like to see a moveset change or two, and of course different Final Smashes.

I think Chrom can be done well if they incorporate the Duel Support system in Awakening. So instead of the character being called "Chrom" he's really "Chrom and the Shepherds". His regular A attacks would be sword and lance strikes by himself, but when he uses special B moves, grabs, shields, and counters, he calls on other Awakening characters for help.

His regular B move summons Robin to launch a Thunder Attack that can be charged into a Thoron. His Up-B recovery move calls for Sumia to use an upward lance stab while carrying Chrom in a similar way to Pit's Power of Flight. Down-B calls Vaike to do a rotating Axe attack in both directions. Forward-B calls Frederick to charge ahead on his horse. Back-B calls Lon'qu to counter with a slash of his blade when hit. The shield is just Kellam blocking. One of Chrom's taunts summons Lissa to heal some damage.

Chrom's custom moves allow different characters to be used for moves in place of another (like Sumia can be replaced with Cordelia, Nowi, or Cherche for slightly different effects).

This way, every character can be represented.

Yeah, doing that or making Chrom utilize all the weapon styles would be a nice way to make him unique.

Except imagine how much coding something like that would take. All the models that would need to be implemented as well as animations. I could see something like that being done on the Wii U if it was the only system that got the title, but for the 3DS?

i dont see a problem

if the 3ds can handle over 700 unique models and animations, it can handle chrom summoning allies

inb4 Mii Fighters and Palutena, they don't just summon other people. They just have moves. Plus, I think that would diminish the uniqueness of those two.

Speaking of Mii Fighters, I wonder how you can customise them. Do you need to have Amiibo for them? Can you safe multiple movesets and looks for them or are you stuck with one character?

You could make Chrom into a Swordfighter Mii and you'd probably have something pretty close to how "unique" he'd be if be got his own slot.

[up]In her default class line, swords and lances (the latter only upon promotion).
