At this point it wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure he'll be in the game in some capacity, and Kid Icarus already has two Assist Trophies. I normally dislike the idea of alternate costumes being entirely different characters, but I'd make an exception for Dark Pit since he's pretty much just Pit with a different personality.

The Palutena reveal made it seem like he'd be included in some capacity.

It would fit with Uprising, wherein Dark Pit, as played in the Light Vs. Dark multiplayer mode, fights exactly the same as Pit.

The main exception being that he doesn't pray to any god when using Powers.

He even plays identically to Pit in the one level you get to control him, save for spending longer in the air than Pit A power he loses right before the boss of that level, so he's functionally identical to Pit aside from some mild anger issues.

Well, we have newcomers that weren't expected. Which means no one's done codecs for them yet. Let's remedy that with my lame attempts at this!

Pit: Okay, I know Marth is a guy that looks like a girl, but he looks extra feminine today for whatever reason.
Palutena: (chuckles) That's because it's not Marth. That's Lucina.
Pit: Who's Lucina?
Palutena: Lucina is Marth's descendant from a few thousand years after his time. She's from the—
Pit: Wait, she? You're telling me that's a girl?!
Palutena: ...Yes. That's why she's more feminine than usual.
Pit: I thought you told me that's not Marth?
Palutena: Oh Pit...Anyway, Lucina is from the future where the fell dragon Grima wiped out all but a few of her people. She tried to prevent Grima's ascension by time-traveling to the past to her father Chrom's time.
Pit: I can only imagine how awkward that family reunion went.
Palutena: Well, not really...I mean it did get awkward later, but that's another point. She hid her identity by wearing a butterfly mask and passing herself off as Marth.
Pit: How'd she manage to pass herself off as a guy?
Palutena: You tell me, Mr. "Marth looks more feminine than usual today".
Pit: Uh...heh heh.

Regarding Robin. What's your favorite element out of all the elements you've seen him use? For me, it's Thunder and Darkness, which probably isn't a surprise.

Lightning, obviously. I hold that Thoron is basically Robin's signature move.

The spells seem to operate in levels- Thunder! Elthunder! Arcthunder! Thoron!

I can't quite tell if that was several levels of a Forward Smash or a special. Robin also seems to use at least a few "opens with sword slash then hits with magic" moves, which is nice.

I sure said that!

[up][up] Well, obviously. Even Sakurai showed off his lightning attacks more than the other elements.

Also, GameXplain has put up an analysis video of the new trailer. Unsurprisingly, most of it is focused on Robin:

wild mass guessOnce a spell runs out of uses, he needs to wait some time before it can be used again/he constructs a new book. This wait time is shown next to his damage%.

@Pulse: Since they showed Robin having a charging animation, I think the spells work like Pac-Man's Fruit Toss where longer charges changes the attack tier.

[up] according to the video, thunder, elthunder and arc thunder are all used without charging.

of the thunder spells, only thoron uses a charge.

You can make out the tome changing from Thunder to Elthunder to Arcthunder to Thoron in a charge animation... Maybe it's a charge-and-save style special, like Samus' Charge Shot or DK's Giant Punch?

I sure said that!

Also, according to the analysis, the Levin Sword seems to appear when Robin begins to lose tomes, and his swordplay appears to be slower than his spellcasting. It really appears that Robin prefers casting spells.

Someone's excited for Lucina.

Apparently some people are pointing out that she has less landing lag than actual Marth.

I'm interested in Lucina, to be sure, but I do hope she ultimately turns out to be more than a mere Marth clone- Then again, that's basically her character trait for the first leg of the game.

I sure said that!

@edvedd:

Yeah, kinda. I mean, Robin and Lucina from Fire Emblem and Captain Falcon returning are official right?

Uh, please, no snark. I was being serious. I ignore this thread for 2 days, and come back to find 30+ pages arguing about character validity, the validity of that Gematsu link, and fan-created movesets mostly for characters I've never even heard of.

I'd only heard there was supposed to be a reveal, so I posted asking such, hence the 20-30 page Thread Hop, because Fire Emblem is discussed in bulk here. I had no idea Falcon, Robin, or Lucina were announced until this moment.

@Pulse: On the plus side, Roy has a very big fanbase, so i don't think being a clone will impact her popularity much.

[up][up]I could have, I ended up here first. Normally this is a good place for updates beyond the usual, random gameplay pic of the day, without having to check every other week. I did that shit with Brawl. I'm not doing it again man, you can't make me sit through those agonizing weeks of Sakurai's trolling teasing. o_o

[up] It came off as snarky. Well my apologies.
