Haha I love the imagery of Cap getting a contract to literal eliminate Fire Emblem characters from the game by punching them super hard

He's taken so long to reveal because he's been assassinating every other fire emblem character. God knows what he did to Roy...

Yeah, this latest trailer kinda sapped my excitement from me. I'm sure they're fine characters in their games but Lucina looks suspiciously cloney and the tactician(is that really his/her name?) doesn't really wow me at all. I think I'll take a break from this for a while. Never had second thoughts on Smash before. :ohdear:

what

are you actually worried about the game as whole because you don't care about two characters on the roster

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
Lucina was a Marth clone in Fire Emblem Awakening so


And also this means I can play as Lucina instead of Marth and that's cool.

More female characters is always good but we are pretty much drowning in sword guys at this point. Doesn't seem like Shulk is such a sure thing anymore, at least.

5.83 isn't all that much. (Link, Toon Link, Marth, Ike, Lucina, half of Robin, a third of Mii Fighter.)

People are getting really weird itt about this trailer.

A single trailer which showed two new characters that haven't been predicted by any leak, and confirmed Captain 'motherfuckin' Falcon's return, is bad.

gently caress it, if I was Sakurai I'd basically refuse to release the game out of spite if this was the reaction I got.

I wish the female characters' faces would come in styles other than Peach, Villager or Generic Female. what they did to ZSS was a big step backwards but I feel like we've had that conversation already.

How the hell does a character announcement in a game that will most likely have over 40 characters sap away your excitement? :psyduck:

In fact, this may be the dumbest loving post in the thread so far, and this thread has had plenty of dumb posts.

Because this means Chorus Men from the leak are probably gone, along with Shulk(admittedly, I don't really care about him). The Sneaky Spirit might just be a Brawl-Era Animal Crossing stage. Representation without playability. Granted, empty speculation, but it hurts to go from 100% certainty to 0%.

The leaker said in his defense that he confused Shulk with Robin and that he never knew the full roster from the onset. Basically nobody knows what the gently caress at this point.

It was just a random guess to begin with. Your fault for assuming it had to be true because it got a few things right. I mean, I can get being disappointed if you wanted the Chorus Men in and now it seems like it's in doubt, but that isn't really Robin and Lucina's fault or anything. Iunno, you're still being kinda weird.

I can't tell how many people actually played Rhythm Heaven because the chorus men were like one minigame in a game full of different minigames/characters

Also if Chorus Men were in the game their hitbox would be like Ridley's

This game clearly needs more Western appeal to balance out the stench that all this anime has left on my precious video game where my Gorilla-Tie man punches Giant-Head Boy in the face.

They could just have a more interesting Rhythm Heaven character planned than Fat Head White Thing.

Does it matter if the leak is true or not at this point? There's only two left on it. Shulk is probably still in the game, his hopes never really rode on the Gematsu Leak or not. It's really just a 'Are Chorus Men in the game yes/no' thing at this point.

I'm not like upset about it, but I can definitely see where you're coming from.
With the exception of Star Fox every franchise brings in a set of wholly unique characters in terms of style and interaction, and here we get two more wholly uninteresting :circlefap:SWORD:circlefap: characters from Fire Emblem.

I know that they have unique abilities between one another but it's just not something the game thematically needs more of when we're used to wildly unique "related" entries like Kirby and Dedede or Mario and Peach.

Can we talk about how it seems like Nintendo has made a deliberate effort to include more female characters (and/or female skins for characters)?

They should have had Brittany as an alternate skin for Olimar, I don't understand why they didn't considering they did do it for the Wii Fit Trainer, AC Villager, etc.

We don't know they didn't, yet. I mean, it took them a while to reveal female villager and all, and they still haven't explained what was up with the Dark Pit tease in Palutena's trailer.

Because the Wii Fit Trainers are both "Wii Fit Trainer", but Brittany isn't Olimar. None of the costumes announced so far change the character's name or identity, and it's doubtful that any will.

Yeah seriously, I didn't believe the leak but the whole appeal of it was that it guessed a bunch of poo poo right because they were educated guesses. And the one he ultimately got wrong was the main character in a game from which two other characters were revealed today.

That being said I didn't realize the Chorus Men were in a single mini-game from Rhythm Heaven so they are probably a long shot.

I thought the leak was supposed to be for the Choir Boy characters from Rhythm Heaven, not the tap dancer troupe characters from Rhythm Heaven Fever. The Choir Boy characters have appeared more than once maybe I think?

And yes if a Rhythm Heaven character gets in, I'd vote for Flexing Wrestler or Karate Man over anyone else
