"However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot."

More clones confirmed? :D :D :D
(Before a clone hate train begins, Sakurai equated that a whole new character and 6 clones take about the same amount of work. So it's not a terrible way of beefing up a roster.)

120 CHARACTER ROSTER

DR MARIO
PICHU
YOUNG LINK
ROY
FALCO
WOLF
GANONDORF
DANKEY KANG
SANIC'S FRENDZ
AND MANY MORE!

Maturity, bitches.
Also I doubt Lucina will be the only new clone so those suspecting only two new characters should probably rethink this stance.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's more different than just "her sword hitbox is different," she seemed a lot swifter than Marth and the move she uses around 2:03 in the Robin trailer looks unique (probably an altered take on Marth's recovery move, less upwards pull but more verticality?)

So I wouldn't really assume Lucina is the exact same but with different hitboxes or anything.

Sooooo basically the last seventy pages are completely useless discussion which could have been avoided if we'd just waited for this Pic of the Day?

Thanks Beelzebuffablo (?) for pushing us closer to OT11 in record time. You also suck.

I <3 you, SmashGAF. I really do :D

So yeah she's basically Roy without fire. Sorry Roy brethrens. He's not even needed anymore.

but Roy uses the hilt for sweetspot and the rest of his sword is wet-noodle territory. that aint "balanced."

I'm on board the clone train so let's do it. Bring back Roy. Bring back Pichu.

Between Melee vets and cut Brawl characters, there's 7 clones from them alone (Roy, Dr. Mario, Young Link, Pichu, Dixie, Toon Zelda, Plusle & Minun). Plus maybe Tetra.
Inferring that Dixie is a slight clone of Diddy, Toon Zelda is a clone of Zelda, and Plusle & Minun is a clone of Pichu/Pikachu but doubled. Tetra could be a Sheik clone but I'd doubt it.
I think the likelihood of a 55 character roster is growing.

Hmm, didn't her eyes got different colour when there's mark of naga?
 
Hell, bring back Roy. Let's just have a whole game of Marth clones.

Marth clone DLC in the form of Chrom too. His sword's power is focused 10 feet behind him, in honor of our fallen comrade, Brawl Snake.

But DLC pack 2 will be Snake in Marth camo and he'll play like Fox.

I'm finally onto Sakurai's game.

Sounded like that was referring to the sword, as in you don't have to bother getting just the tip to connect.

well yeah, but referencing controlling specifically (and not hitboxes) could mean moves could be faster, and if there's no l-canceling (right?) and you do a move near the ground, there may be less recovery. things just point to her being a faster marth

Wow, what a rude post. The feeling is mutual.

We've seen about 10 seconds of Lucina's gameplay. There's really no way to possibly know.

Well from what Sakurai is implying, his attacks are pretty much Marth-like. The difference comes from where the power of the attacks come from.

Marth will probably be the more powerful one, but harder to handle as he will rely on the tip of the sword slashes for power. Lucina meanwhile will be less powerful, but can be a "beginner's Marth" because of better balance of power on the sword slashes.

I pronounce it Lu-see-na, so it's wrong?

Nope. English she's loo-see-nah, Japanese she's Rukina

Like, Robin. Robin in Japan was called Reflet, which is why the url for their page has Reflet at the end, not Robin.
