I'm so excited for Lucina. Suck it, Chrom fanboys. Enjoy fighting doggedly for the Smash Ball as Robin

It'd be interesting if they ever decide to use a dragon character from Fire Emblem in Smash. Probably too OP.
They're boring, don't bother.

I'm so salty about the lack of support for Advance Wars. :-(

Edit : Quoted the wrong post, but I'm on my phone so there's no going back. I'll just bow my head in sadness and shame and take my whining to Nintendo's twitter.
 
Robin looks really cool and I know Lucina was pretty heavily requested around here so that's good to see, but my favorite part of the trailer was how badass they made Captain Falcon :')
 
They did Chrom so dirty here, like they really had to include the inferior version of him instead just to appease the feminists? And relegate him to being a novelty? I was hyped for a Shulk reveal too. I guess Sakurai just wants to drink the sweet milk of my tears

Nintendo has made a general effort over the past few years to include more females in their games. They pissed me off with their lack of inclusion (aka. Brawl having no new female characters at all) so to see Nintendo finally starting to be more inclusive is something we should all celebrate.

"To appease the feminists"? Give me a fucking break.

Pretty much. As I said before, she even has Marth's idle animation. It seems like a copy-paste with minor tweaking. It doesn't take much time and gets another character in the game. Isn't that a good thing?
She has new taunts though which is a nice touch

I guess I should play Fire Emblem. These names mean nothing to me.

Of the FE games I've played I'd recommend 7 (Just called Fire Emblem in NA and EU) and Path of Radiance. I'd say skip Awakening but that has more to do with the character designs than the gameplay, which while not as good as those other two, is still fun.

I feel like there's too many sword users in this game now.

Ike

Marth

She-Marth

Robin I guess?

Meta Knight

Link

Toon Link

Mii Sword

Pit
and possibly Shulk

Eh, I dunno. I guess as long as they're different from each other

Robin's definitely a mage. He has a sword so he's not completely vulnerable from up close, but it's a lot shorter than the standard fire emblem sword. He'll probably be focused on long range attacking.

Good stuff but I'm still waiting for Bayonetta...r-right, Sakurai?? R-RIGHT? = [

Or Amaterasu = D

I think Shulk can still get in. If only because a Xenoblade stage would be amazing visually and the music would be out of this world. That alone should get him or perhaps someone else form Xenoblade a slot. Those should be important factors I think for deciding if a character should be added since those are likely to get more use then the characters themselves.

Robin is a Tactician, Mages can't use swords.

I think Sal Romano's leaker only saw the character introduction videos or had some insight into their creation, and somehow mistook this one for a Chrom reveal. That, or Sakurai changed everything at the last second

From least hyped to most:
Lucina (still a good choice. I just hope she has some different moves from Marth)
Robin (a much better choice over Chrom. FE really needed a mage)
Captain Falcon (who isn't excited about HD knees and falcon punches?)
