Damn straight.

 

[Jaeger]

I really need to play Uprising.

Nobody is making judgement calls on the final product, we all recognize it is a work in progress and that the final game will be different. But to write off people's concerns about mechanics is unfair. The game was played and people noticed things they didn't like and shared them. They are not concerns "a select few" are raising. Those issues JoeInky brought up a couple pages back are not minor things. Movement options are what makes smash fun and gives depth to competitive play.

These are valid concerns to have.

I'm not sure if you understand what I was saying, and that it was in response to some possible "high tier player" saying he hopes the game fails.

it's a figma.

Yes. It's a Figma, which is a brand that caters to collectors and is well known for having pretty good articulation and accessory counts. It's also getting a re-release later this year I think.

Yes.

Ah, Wonderful. Thanks. I checked Play-Asia and they are indeed doing a rerelease.

Hopefully it doesn't come out before I move.

That's cool! Any chance of a Robin wallpaper?

Went ahead and made one! Hope it's to your liking.

Reposting my others in case anyone missed them.

These are great! Have you made any others?

 

[Hours Left]

nah, Chrom was always a rather bland blue-hair (male) sword-wielding lord even before Gematsu, so it's not like many people really wanted him

I feel like the general consensus was that everyone had resigned themselves to Chrom because A) FE playable character tradition making him the likely choice and B) Gematsu, and virtually everyone preferred the idea of Robin or Lucina over him.

Now everyone wins :3

I find it so strange when people say this, since Chrom is very popular character, especially in Japan. (He was voted #1 in the official character poll.)

And Lucina is really just a female Chrom. Her personality is extremely similar to his, which is fitting, since she's his daughter.

Personally, I would of preferred Chrom over Lucina. He probably would of had a more unique fighting style too. I don't hate Lucina, but I think she's the blandest newcomer so far.

 

[Starphoenix]

Y'know, if Dark Pit manages to use different weapons from Uprising, has some different standard attacks and a non-rehashed Final Smash; I really would be ok with him as a character. Can't be worse than the Star Fox bros.

Even though it does kind of defeat the idea that Sakurai is overly modest with the series he's worked on/likes.

I just started making them yesterday after I felt like putting one together for the Captain

I might gradually work on making a collection of them for all of the characters though.

I find it so strange when people say this, since Chrom is very popular character, especially in Japan. (He was voted #1 in the official character poll.)

I was mainly just talking about here in SmashGAF, where it seemed like he had a lukewarm reception and the dream of tome-wielding Robin was aflame in our hearts.

And also the crazy people vocal Lucina fans.

Though I'd actually agree in that he's a pretty bland pick for me. I didn't think much of him in Awakening.

i dont think lucina's bland really (i actually do like that she's a marth clone since it fits her character quite well) I do agree with you though that chrom and luci do share similar traits and that chrom did have the possibility of being a lot more different than what ike and marth could have been (even from just the few seconds of him being in robin's fs showed that he could have been like a mix of ike and marth) But i do feel overall robin was the best thing for the fe choices and was super glad that he/she got in

I really hope the next (last?) Newcomer video features Captain Falcon wreaking havoc again because it was just too good. From having beaten Chrom off the roster so badly they couldn't even show it to handling Lucina with ease to jumping away from Robin's spell attack in a flashy, taunting manner... so good.

Chrom was voted the #1 male -- Lucina was also voted the #1 female. Apparently the art book consolidates both lists, and Lucina came out as the overall most popular.

My pet weapon-master idea for him could be applied to a lot of other FE (and a few non-FE) characters, so it isn't a big loss.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Chrom hate is retribution for having to constantly deal with people thinking he would replace Ike (My patterns!) and inherit his moveset (Dumbest idea ever).

 

[flohen95]

I never had a problem with the controls. I even played the game on the train home from the shop when I bought it and managed to complete a few chapters (on a low difficulty, yeah, but it was my first time playing anyway). But I can see how that can be offputting.

it doesnt seem to it looks like the rankings are seperate (i think) also funny thing to note there was a ranking for what i think to be the best robin type and vanilla robin was voted to be the favorite lol (

actually i never understood that either ike and chrom are really different characters and i recall that chrom is actually terrible with magic and the like lol

 

[batfax]

Ah, Wonderful. Thanks. I checked Play-Asia and they are indeed doing a rerelease.

Hopefully it doesn't come out before I move.

So far, the Link and Samus figmas have been popular enough to get a bunch of reprints so if you miss it, it'll probably come around again.

On the general subject of Smash figures for those interested, unfortunately, I haven't heard anything about a new run of Pit and Dark Pit. However, both Zero Suit Samus and Lucina have teasers/a prototype floating around and will be upcoming Figmas. Combined with the other figures in the photo, you can make a pretty cool Smash display with a little more flair than an amiibo collection would provide.

Of course, Figuarts have both Mario and Luigi (announced) covered as well. Since Bandai has the general Nintendo license, I hope they capitalize on their strength with Kamen Rider/Sentai figures and announce a Captain Falcon figure soon. Summer Wonfest should be soon, so who knows if anything crazy will get announced there to ride the Smash hypetrain.

To be fair though, Lucina is surprisingly uninteresting once you get her. Her social li.. support convos are definitely better than her dad's, but nothing mindblwoing.

That being said, I'm glad she's in over Chrom because it just feels like it adds more variety to the cast.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Chrom hate is retribution for having to constantly deal with people thinking he would replace Ike (My patterns!) and inherit his moveset (Dumbest idea ever).

It's relly not that unfeasible. The pattern for FE reps thus far had been Marth plus a rep from whatever the latest game was at the time. Chrom is built a bit bigger than Marth so one could assume he might take over Ike's moveset or use a modified version thereof.

Granted, Sakurai didn't really want to cut Roy from Brawl...

I can see why people would have that idea, though.

 

[Moonlight]

Lucina is, I'm sorry to say, not what I'd call my ideal FE addition, since for all of her merits, she's just Another blue-haired sword wielder, and as jazzed as I am about Robin (like totally), kinda wish the ratio would be 1:1 on 'blue-haired Lords' and 'everything else FE'. That said, assuming we absolutely had to have another one, I'm happy it's Lucina. Aside from being a much better design period than Chrom, at the very least she can stand to represent the myriad of great female characters in the FE franchise that Marth and Ike just weren't doing.

actually i think lucina has some decent ones if she has siblings and her convos with the children cast are quite decent tbh

i dont know i kinda the whole blue hair thing i do agree that some other representation of other weapons types would be cool as well. Personally i have to disagree with the whole luci has a better design than chrom (personally i think they are pretty similar but i digress).I do like the fact luci does in a way represent the female cast tho and i am super excited to play as her

Robin is awesome. I think it was an excellent decision to add them.

I don't doubt Lucina's popularity. I just don't understand the sentiment that Chrom was some pariah standing in the way of what FE fans "really want". They are both good characters in their own right, but at least with Chrom we would of had a chance at a bit more of a unique character from a gameplay perspective.

I'm not upset about Lucina's addition, but I don't like the "HA! I got mine, who cares about you?!" type comments that are being tossed around.
