Ouch D: That kills the dream of Chrom DLC.At the end of the day, Chrom would just end up being another plain-old sword-wielder like Marth and Ike. Compared with other characters, he lacks any unique characteristics.
okay
Please let playable bosses be fake. It sounds absolutely terrible.

Okay, I might be being a bit nitpicky here, but there's supposed to be a pixel's width between the background and the shadow.How's this? Totally let me know if you want a different color. Really only takes a minute to do.
If we had to get another plain old sword-wielder, Lucina has one thing over Chrom: she's a girl.
Which is fine with me.
Thanks for the translation! Very interesting stuff. Interesting that he did indeed consider her for an alternate costume and it sounds like, aside from that small change, she basically is. At least for those that aren't fond of her inclusion, she probably didn't take up much development time.So, I managed to get my hands on a copy of this week's edition of Sakurai's "Think About the Video Games" column (thanks, Ryce!). Enjoy!
I can only hope. One of my fav Brawl characters and reps my favorite game of all time, I will be crushed if he's not in the game.Anyone else here think that Lucas will make it into the game given that the Gematsu leak now isn't 100% accurate?
Lucas and Dixie are somewhat clones?
As someone who is a Lucas main, I don't see how that can even make sense to work with Dixie Kong...
okay
Good read, thanks!So, I managed to get my hands on a copy of this week's edition of Sakurai's "Think About the Video Games" column (thanks, Ryce!). Enjoy!
I sure as hell hope so!
Chrom has the right idea, off to sleep for me!
It hurts even more now, because Anna would've been: an FE staple, a woman, a unique fighter. Lucina is just scraps.
Sigh. Yeah, she'd have been perfect. I'm fine with Lucina as a compromise, though, assuming that we really couldn't have had another unique fighter.It hurts even more now, because Anna would've been: an FE staple, a woman, a unique fighter. Lucina is just scraps.
This isn't even a question. Lucina ten times out of ten.If you guys had to decide between Roy or Lucina for Marth's clone in the game, who would you choose?
okay
okay
The color was Moonlight's choice, but as for the pixel shadow spacing...how DARE you critique my work. You think you're so cool? Well, you're not! I hate you!!!Okay, I might be being a bit nitpicky here, but there's supposed to be a pixel's width between the background and the shadow.
If it helps any, this Twitter image has all of them aligned correctly at 1x scale.
(Also, that's not Robin's background color; it's supposed to be purple.)

Well, when you can pay players over a million to play chess, having an audience doesn't matter anymore.
Also, first google search "Chess Twitch" gives me this guy. He has over 2 million views total, I think that's decent.
JB-the-Hunter said:High level-Melee isn't really aesthetically pleasing to me. It's exciting and thrilling to watch, but the advanced movement is also often irritating as well. It's very jerky and spastic. The characters look very unnatural doing what they're doing. I understand that it's just the nature of competitive Melee, but I hope Smash 4 finds a way around the awkward looking movement, while still retaining the movement options.

Yeah I love that Lucina was included but the differences between her and Marth are ridiculously small. I wish they would've had slightly different stats like Lucina being lighter, faster and more airborne to go a long with the uniform damage window.okay

Development time.Yeah that's something that makes me scratch my head. Why not have Chrom be a Marth clone, but have the sword be balanced?

So...is Lucina just flat out better than Marth or does she do less damage across the length of her blade compared to Marth who will do more with the tip?

Sakurai said:"What? Not Chrom!?" I suspect a lot of you will ask. Of course, Chrom is quite popular, being the protagonist of FE:A and all. However, I chose Robin and Lucina, and I will elaborate on my reasoning.
Robin appears in the game as a Tactician and functions much like a Mystic Knight (note: FF terminology, but equivalent to magic swordsman). I thought to utilize his all-around nature by assigning swordplay to his Smash attacks and magic tomes to his special attacks--that is, allow him to use magic.
His neutral special is thunder magic that grows stronger the larger you charge it. He uses fire magic for his side special, and wind magic for recovery as his up special.
I played all the way through FE:A and really wanted to include a character from that rich cast in Smash Bros. Naturally, I considered adding Chrom to the roster, but the decision wasn't easy by any means.
At the end of the day, Chrom would just end up being another plain-old sword-wielder like Marth and Ike. Compared with other characters, he lacks any unique characteristics.
I'm clearly not understanding the difference between the two of them.Easier for less experienced players, but not better.

Wavedashing is a fun mechanic. Why should looks be prioritized over fun? I thought Nintendo fans always argued against that.That's fair. I just meant that it is indeed exciting and thrilling to watch. If they got rid of wave-dashing (which really causes some of that jerky motion), I'd be fine with that. Dash dancing causes a bit of it, but that mechanic is important for mind games as well as movement. Cancelling moves in general also causes "jerky" animation, but it's pretty important in fighters.

I'm clearly not understanding the difference between the two of them.
The way I'm interpreting this is that Lucina will do the same amount of damage that Marth would do with the tip of his sword across the entire length of her blade...and with a smaller hitbox as well. That would make her better.
