Do you see how fast those weapons get worn out? Bronze is cheapest and most durablenote , hence why they carry a bunch.

Well from my experience hardness=brittle when talking of metals so since iron and steel are harder they're more likely to lose their edge/break, etc., but I'm not a professional blacksmith so I might be wrong

I think they were trying to go for a contrast. A Bronze Sword is the weakest sword (outside of the gimmicky joke weapons) while the Levin Sword, while not the strongest, is pretty up there and filled with magicy goodness.

I imagine the bronze sword contrasts visually better than an iron/steel sword would with the Levin Sword. But I haven't played FE:A

Not really. The generic sorts of weapons don't get fancy-looking until you get to the Killer and Silver weapons, with bronze weapons looking more like worktools and iron and silver being pretty basic designs. Levin Swords, meanwhile, are shaped like lightning bolts, a design that's fairly unusual even by the standards of high-ranked weapons, beaten out only by some of the Regalia.

Also, fun trivia: Awakening considers the Bolt Axe, the axe equivalent of the Levin Sword, to be a Regalia.

And just the Bolt Axe. The Levin Sword and Shockstick are apparently among the "standard" set of weapons.

Amusingly, nobody actually swings a Levin Sword in Awakening. Even in melee range, they just raise the sword to invoke a lightning bolt to come down and strike the target.

Bronze weaponry also can't be resharpened.

His comment to Falco is technically correct though since Falco is a pheasant tongue

[up][up]And neither of them have established love interests, which can't help things. Samus' supporting cast that survives for more than one game can be counted on one hand, and the closest thing to a love interest Falcon has is a person who's his sister in another universe.

I sure said that!

Can anyone here vote for a Sword Ganondorf for Smash, at least just once? I've been trying to spread the word so that people who want a more canon moveset can regain hope even if Falcondorf's still here.

If we were to get another Ganodorf I would rather prefer to get him in his pig/boar form. It would go along well with the two Links and I guess now two Zeldas we have.

[up]But if it's literally the same character model, the developers won't have to work on it as much.

It could even be an addon to the current Ganondorf assuming that the 3DS's problem with transforming characters is loading character models on the fly and not just loading moveset data.

Eh, I got no reason to want regular Ganondorf changed. Literally no reason to vote for it. Toon Ganondorf with a double sword mechanic(something that's not completely done as a full moveset, as Pit/Dark Pit only do it for a select amount of attacks. It's not their biggest thing at all. The other factor is is the double sword is not the main focus either. I'd like it where there isn't a bow in the way of making it a true dual-sword moveset. They still give the feeling of it to a degree, but I think double Katanas would be far more different overall if Toon Ganondorf did it).

That said, I voted already for a character that has practically no chance, yet more than getting a complete moveset change for an already existing playable character in this particular iteration of Smash. And likely any game to come. I can't see Ganondorf ever getting a super overhaul of a moveset to the point his original version doesn't exist Smash-wise. Sakurai's never done it once, and he has reason to never bother(it alienates previous players). I'm okay with that logic since he still updates characters a decent amount anyway, to make them feel a little different, making them easy to adjust to.

[up][up][up] That picture is in fact the best possible argument for brawler Ganondorf, because look at that mofo taking on a fully armed hero with his bare hands.
