I'm just wondering how many of Robin's appearances are going to present.

'Kay, so, just woke up, way behind but saw the vid, etc etc-

That was fucking amazing. I... Is Lucina a Marth costume or a Marth clone? I really hope it's the prior, but hey.

Have to admit, though, Captain Falcon's debut was pretty amazing.

On the website, Lucina doesn't get the proper icon length reserved for Smash newcomers. A clear example of some deep-seated hatred towards women.

Or, given it's the right length on the mobile site, it was some sort of mistake while setting up the regular site. But that doesn't let me get self-righteously angry, so I'm going with the first theory.

@Pulse: The costumes don't get their own sections on the website. Right now, it seems she'll be this game's version of Roy.

At the same time, she only has a small block instead of a triple-sized one like the other Newcomers, and she's basically a footnote in Robin's trailer.

I sure said that!

She has a normal newcomer sized block on the mobile site, she has her own page with a newcomer banner, and she even got her own intro tagline. She is a separate clone character. Now end this stupid argument.

Pfft, this got a chuckle out of me.

I'm just curious: Although I'm not going to, how many of you are now going to main Robin or Lucina?

[up][up]Ah, I wasn't aware of that bit.

Excuse me.

[up]Well, it depends on a lot of factors, but I'll certainly look into it.

And yeah, Falcon continues to be amazing.

Lucina's mask appears in what appears to be a taunt, something that Marth definitely won't have. Even if all of her moves and her properties are the same, and the latter won't, she'll still be a separate character.

I doubt I'll main either of them, but I'll probably try out Robin at least. I owe it to him after doubting him even after he became one of my most wanted.

i cant imagine maining anyone in this game.

i'd probably cycle through a huge selection of characters considering how many awesome additions there are.

I'm gonna try all of them. And then probably settle for a handful of favorites.

Also, Robin's "LOL, didn't read" gif makes me laugh more than it should.

Wow, Robin, Lucina (is she from Awakening?) AND Falcon announced?!?

They better give us a lot of newcomers who are unlockable.

[up][up][up]Lucina is the true identity of the Masked Marth that appears early in Awakening's story, and that's all I can say on that.

So I just got home (like an hour ago), watched the newcomer video and read the thread up till now. Time for my unimportant input!

RE:Lucina & Robin: Hate to say it, but aside from being wow'd at the video itself, I'm not ecstatic about these characters as, well, characters. At least not right now. I know very little about Fire Emblem (except that it has awesome music) and have only just started looking into the series via LP of the first game and plan to work my way up from there. However, that LP has convinced me to at least download Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones onto my 3DS, and I heard that game was kind of newbie friendly, although not as much as Awakening apparently.

That said, I do like how Robin's fighting style looks, and given enough time, I may end up getting Awakening because of Robin and Luncina's inclusion.

RE: Capt Falcon: Although I've never used him much, I'm glad the trailer had him in it. The trailer overall looked real nice.

Aside:

Off-topic, why are the Base Breaker, Fan Dumb, and Hate Dumb entries removed from the YMMV page?
The person who edited Fan Dumb and Hate Dumb out said that they are now classed as Flame Bait and are no longer to be listed on the pages. I can't seem find a thread confirming this, but the pages for the tropes themselves have the Flame Bait banner and notes at the end of their descriptions saying not to add them. And someone merged Base Breaker into Broken Base, although I'm pretty sure those two items have different meanings.

It was a Skylanders joke. That sort-of-but-not-really-Spyro The Dragon thing Activision is doing.
