They even bothered to render his gun better! What's next, his victory theme is the first 5 seconds of his GX theme but redone?

[up][up][up]Indeed, it is magnificent.

[up]Okay, so why put her in the game as her own full character to begin with if she's just going to be an even bigger clone than Toon Link? That doesn't make sense.

Not only that, the falcon icon on his helmet is a reasonable size, there's detail on the boots and the gloves actually LOOK like gloves! When is he going to get a game of his own indeed?

I wonder how will Robin's ammibo work. Probably there'll be one for each gender. Crack Is Cheaper indeed.

[up][up][up]We don't fully know everything about her. Yes, she'll probably take a lot from Marth, but can we at least wait until Sakurai cares to explain her a bit more?

For all you know she's a clone in the way Wolf and Fox are clones.

How do we know Lucina's a clone. We saw a little bit, but that's a few moves. Many characters have similar moves without being clones. Did we even see her specials? And yeah, completely new, definitely not an Alt at this point.

As for the whole "New Challenger" being singular, can't we just chalk that up to weird wording and leave it at that? Or a bad translation error? Likewise, so it was two. That's kind of grasping at straws a little. Meh on wording, not a big deal.

[up][up]Wolf may be stylistically similar to Fox, but he doesn't blatantly copy moves frame-for-frame.

Eh, whatever.

Still waiting on Shulk and Ridley... pleeeeeeease?

[up][up][up][up]I think we saw Shield Breaker, and for sure Dolphin Slash.

As for the Robin amiibo, I personally think it'll have both genders back-to-back. That might take up a lot of room, though.

[up]Shulk and whoever our Rhythm Heaven character is.

BTW, if any one didn't catch it in the trailer, Ike's flames are now blue.

I know it's a few pages back, but I feel I need to correct something:

I wouldn't be suprised if Sakurai was tipped off by the leak and decided to switch up videos just cause.

Gaming companies don't care about leakers. Or, rather, they can't: from what I remember, info is meant to follow a very set schedule, and companies don't have the time and/or resources to change things around and potentially delay themselves just to spite some rumors from a couple of faceless internet dwellers (and, from Sakurai's perspective, foreign ones at that). Only time I can remember a leak getting official acknowledgement/endorsement was with U Mv C 3, and that was due to a genuine fuck-up on Capcom's part.

Now, onto the trailer: Awesome shit is awesome. I haven't played the FE games, but I'm definitely feeling the hype. Robin looks like an absolute boss, and finally gives the magic side of FE some proper focus after the sword-emphasis from Marth/Roy/Ike. For a player avatar, Robin's certainly very well done.

However, like others I'm confused with Lucina. For a game that's done a very good job making its characters more diverse and unique (Links notwithstanding), Lucina seems very close to being a full-on Marth clone, which seems only further redundant with the emphasis on alts (and gender-bending ones at that). Maybe she's really just a well done alt, maybe she does have some tricks to separate herself from Marth, but right now I'm a bit on the fence.

Lucina does seem to have counter move, but then again Ike and Marth both had counter down b right?

Julep Since: Jul, 2010
#50020: Jul 14th 2014 at 10:26:48 AM

It's obvious what the difference between Marth and Lucina will be.

If you are on the verge of losing a game, Lucy's Final Smash will be a Time Machine that restarts the fight from the beginning.

As for Chrom, Chrom + Lucina is redundant, and picking the female option is a good idea since the first two FE characters were male.

Also, I don't get why only Chrom would be able to use Spears. Lucina can become a Great Lord too. Actually if I am not mistaken, she has access to many more classes than her father. She should even have access to a Pegasus or a Wyvern (incidentally, there are no mounted SSB characters so far, I wonder if they could be included).

Oh my god this Tumblr twit thinks that Fire Emblem is obscure simply because "most" of the games in the series weren't translated, and thus is at least one character slot wasted because of the Rayman trophy tease.

After Pokemon X And Y's leaks caused a one-week delay in the UK release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, I'd say that's BS.

The total number of FE games is 13. 6 of those have gotten translated with the first coming to the US over 10 years ago. What in the world is obscure about it?
