I REMAIN STEADFAST IN MY ANTICIPATION FOR TAKAMARU. I BELIEVE.

Oh my God that was so refreshing. To recap:

- Captain Falcon concern trolling got a bullet in the face
- Everyone won the jackpot with regards to who the new Awakening person would be
- Fire Emblem is now Mario/Zelda/Pokemon tier
- Gematsu leaker got the legs snatched from under themselves with yet another Rosalina style swerve (still believe Shulk and Chorus Men are a thing though)

No it's not. 4 characters vs 5 for those series. And the leaker got Chrom wrong; he's a final smash.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

That's a very lucky prediction...

 

[Cse]

sooo

Robin is newcomer
Lucina is Marth alt
Chrom is part of Robin's final smash

this is correct?

If Lucina is just an alternate costume for Marth, why would she get her own "Smashes in" portion in the video? Doesn't that only occur for discrete characters?

 

[Sponge]

Who the fuck is Chrom.

Who the fuck is Lucina!

WHO THE FUCK IS ROBIN?!

Jesus, Falcon is the only redeeming part of this reveal. Too much Fire Emblem shit.

Spoiler

Yeah I siad it.

Some people can never be pleased.

 

[Forkball]

Will buy Lucina Amiibos.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

So what's the deal with Lucina in FE? Is she like Marth? Is that why she might just be a Marth costume?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

And welcome back, Captain Falcon!! When are you ever getting a new game of your own?

Damn, Sakurai.

 

[foxuzamaki]

My god

 

[Sendou]

Who the fuck is Chrom.

Who the fuck is Lucina!

WHO THE FUCK IS ROBIN?!

Jesus, Falcon is the only redeeming part of this reveal. Too much Fire Emblem shit.

Spoiler

Yeah I siad it.

4 reps is what I consider a good number from the best Nintendo IP.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Neither was Snake and has Kojima asked early enough he would have been in melee

You mean if Kojima groveled sooner...

 

[CassSept]

Wow now that the character pages are up, Falcon looks AMAZING.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Are we sure Lucina's an alt? 'Cause that would send me back into the pissed mode I've been in since E3.

 

[BGBW]

Chorus Boys fans must be nervous

Well I still have hopes for a Rhythm Tengoku character, but now it could be anyone.

 

[Mariolee]

Capt Falcon has a page on the site now.

http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/captain_falcon.html

Look at this badass motherfucker

 

[Axass]

Also, if freaking Robin was revealed before release, no way trees unlockable newcomers lol. We'll definitely see Shulk and a Rhythm Heaven rep in the next few months.

Sure, just like it was "implied" in the 100% correct salromano leak that those were the only newcomers.

New pic of the day:

Pic of the day. Robin, the avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening, joins the battle!! As a master of tomes and the Levin sword, Robin's not like any other swordfighter. You can also select Robin's gender when you play.

 

[Azure J]

sooo

Robin is newcomer
Lucina is Marth alt
Chrom is part of Robin's final smash

this is correct?

Seems that way, but all the Lucina photographs have me wondering now...

Edit: Oh man, I just realized, there better be a way to play Robin with the hood up at all times.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Sure, just like it was "implied" in the 100% correct salromano leak that those were the only newcomers.

What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with what I just said.

 

[Village]

The roster has blown wide open.

Lucas fans must be happy
Chorus Boys fans must be nervous

That feel when you can't upskirt Lucina...

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Ike is already a reskinned Roy, except slower and stronger.

So like Roy, she'll be in the middle between Marth and Ike. Also. Ike's A moves are totally different.

 

[Dryk]

Ike is already a reskinned Roy, except slower and stronger.

They share Counter, that's it

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Are we sure Lucina's an alt? 'Cause that would send me back into the pissed mode I've been in since E3.

Either an alt or a clone.

 

[Kouriozan]

Website...too...slow >.<

 

[Jintor]

sakurai pls

 

[TWILT]

4 Fire Emblem reps...not that I'm complaining. Maining Lucina for sure.

Where's Shulk tho ;_;

 

[PsionBolt]

Next question: Why does Robin use the Levin Sword most of the time, but a Bronze Sword sometimes? Are weapons, like tomes, limited in use? That'd make some sense.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Told you guys not to expect Shulk!

 

[Golnei]

That feel when you can't upskirt Lucina...

It's a shirt. It'd be easier to take upskirt photos of Marth.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Are we sure Lucina's an alt? 'Cause that would send me back into the pissed mode I've been in since E3.

She's not a newcomer, so probably an alt.

 

[MrSaturn99]

And welcome back, Captain Falcon!! When are you ever getting a new game of your own?

Yeah I wonder too Sakurai

 

[georly]

Either an alt or a clone.

Definitely not an alt but she moved suspiciously like marth, which makes sense considering the story of the game. She's one of the few 'acceptable' clones. (unlike ganondorf/ falcon)

 

[Papercuts]

Okay, yeah, Chrom is definitely just a final smash for Robin.

Not sure what's up with Lucina though.

 

[Gleethor]

omg @ Sakurai's second Miiverse post.

 

[j.rob]

FALCON LOOKS SO BEAUTIFULL

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Either an alt or a clone.

This shit better get clarified in the next daily pic.

 

[Diprosalic]

thanks to those who sent me links, i snuck to the bathroom and watched it there lol. couldn't wait.

not surprised that they made it in, this game is supposed to be a 3DS seller first and foremost.

 

[SliceSabre]

Looks like Lucina is a clone since she doesn't get the newcomer tag on the site.

 

[JediLink]

Okay, time to calm down now and actually analyse what this all means.

• First of all, no dicks will be sucked today.
• The new character is Robin. Pretty safe to say that no one expected this.
• Lucina has Marth's moveset, meaning she's either a clone or an alt.
• I really don't know what the deal with Chrom is. He barely appeared much. I don't think he's a newcomer or we would've seen some of his moveset.
• Captain Falcon is back, finally.
• For the first time ever, the Gematsu leaker is wrong in a major way. This does damage the credibility unconfirmed parts of the leak, but we can't say for certain that those parts are false - only that this part was. Also, this gives us some more information about the extent of what he really knows. Maybe he just saw some gameplay of Chrom and just assumed Chrom was the FE newcomer?
• Now that Captain Falcon - someone who we all thought was going to be a secret character - has been revealed, Sakurai has once again proven that he can't be predicted.
• On a similar note, Sakurai's troll status is maintained, with Chrom's "Maybe I'll get my chance some other day" or whatever it was.
• Spoiler

  Ridley might still have a chance.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Next thread title should be

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread X: Falcon Emblem

 

[Mr-Joker]

Who the fuck is Chrom.

Who the fuck is Lucina!

WHO THE FUCK IS ROBIN?!

Jesus, Falcon is the only redeeming part of this reveal. Too much Fire Emblem shit.

Spoiler

Yeah I siad it.

There will be laugher, rage and tears this is Smash Bros it takes no prisoners.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

sakurai pls

;_;

 

[Omzz]

Lucina's moves are exactly like marths. Won't say alt i suppose at this point. Just a clone

But Chrom is part of Robin's final smash

 

[Save 'N Quit]

If Lucy is a clone that's going to be so disappointing

 

[3DShovel]

So disappointed that Chrom isn't playable..

 

[Kriken]

Nice to see Smash Bros offer more choices

 

[Beelzebufo]

Looks like Lucina is a clone since she doesn't get the newcomer tag on the site.

Clones are newcomers, she's probably an alt.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Welp, I still want Shulk in and he better rep true leak or not. This is pretty cool though.
