What is going on here? Clone or alt? Spit it out.
Pic of the day. Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth's--it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She's also a little bit shorter than Marth.
With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot. That is why you can select Lucina individually.
By the way…there's probably no chance you'll be able to see this in the game, but Lucina has the mark of Naga in her left eye.

Sakurai highlights this in the 3rd pic of the day.

Wow, she may be even more of a clone than Falco ever was.

And Lucina is confirmed as clone.
She's basically turning out to be Better Roy without t3h ph1r3.
Whatdya mean? I meant I really hope she's got her own slightly different playstyle and isn't just a costume. Which it seems like she is!

So Lucina (I still refuse to pronounce it as Lukina, although the Japanese name suggests it) is basically a poor man's Marth? Easier to handle and thereby weaker?

Not sure why you're singling out Falco here. Falco's just as different and Ganondorf and Young Link. The cloniest clone in the series is easily Dr Mario.

Clone status confirmed.
Now I'm even more interested in Chrom's deal.

eh, I'm just glad we can play her at all. Even she was just a Costume with a different voice isn't bad to me (which it seems she isn't).

Welp, looks like Ken isn't maining Lucina.
It's Roy all over again!
"However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot."
More clones confirmed?
(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.)

So she might not suck, unlike Roy!

So basically, she's a sucky Marth that's easier to use.

So she's basically n00b!Marth?
I guess it would make sense that they'd be cut because they're not as relevant as Charizard in the newest Pokemon games. I mean, people I know solely bought Pokemon X just for the black Charizard mega evolution. He's that popular.
To have Squirtle and Ivysaur back as their own character slot would be kind of weird, neither of them have ever had a significant mascot feel. Personally though, I wouldn't mind if they come back as some surprise unlockables or something. More characters is more fun.
Let me over-analyze the several seconds of Lucina gameplay and spend the next day theory crafting why she's more competitively viable, brb
I pronounce it Lu-see-na, so it's wrong?
Ken hates Wii U Marth though. Where will he go!?
I don't think he ruled out small differences in move properties. That said, if they existed, they probably wouldn't be anything drastic.
not if she has less landing lag!
Ah, random thought: Has anyone bothered to check if (warning: very slight Fire Emblem Awakening spoilers ahead)?Lucina has the Fire Emblem crest in one of her eyes in the in-game model
EDIT: And there it is! Based Sakurai

He expressed interest in Robin; I guess he likes Fire Emblem.
