Lucina for smash 4

[The Steelback]

Opinions on the apparent clone/alternate of Marth? What do you think she is? Happy to see her?

Personally, I'm hoping that she's a clone of Marth and picks up Roy's old spot: A slightly slower Marth that's geared more toward power in general rather than a sweet spot.

[Sadist Sedated]

Not really sure what to expect from her, but I'm glad we're getting two new Fire Emblem characters. Robin offers a far more unique moveset, so it'd be a bit disappointing if Lucina were put in instead of Robin - getting both is perfect, though.

If you wanna keep bringing in more Fire Emblem characters, Nintendo, be my guest. biggrin

[YunaSama]

She looks like a cool character... But I'm more exited for Robbin... He looks like a really interesting character to play... And you can play him as a cool-looking female too... cat_whee

[GYAKUTEN TITTIES]

I'm happy because that's another waifu in this game for me.

It needs to be renamed Super Smash Waifus

I kind of hope she isn't a Marth clone, even though she's basically a ladyboy Marth.

Could really not give a s**t. I could accept Marth being there and having Robin and Ike be completely different in terms of play styles and movement, but Lucina looks weak.

She was probably put in because of fan service for the series.

The alt argument as far as Lucina is concerned is ridiculous. Does the alt for Wii Fit Trainer have his own page? Nope. She has her own page, and people are dismissing her as a Marth alt costume because: 1, her moves so far are too similar to his; 2, the front page of the website has her banner smaller than Robin's; 3, same banner also doesn't say Newcomer on it; 4, her outfit looks like his (it was like that in FE:A because she disguised as him, so of course they're gonna keep it that way for her Smash reveal)

She is a clone. The people saying otherwise aren't gonna accept that until Sakurai comes out and says it himself. Until then, they are gonna be putting down/out right ignoring all other evidence that says otherwise.

Or they could just be butthurt Shulk/Issac fans (I know I'm disappointed neither was revealed, but seriously...I know this is the internet but have some common sense...)

All her moves look visually identical to Marth so....at this point there's no arguing that she's a clone.

That said, we can always hope that she's at least a good clone that plays completely different. or maybe even have lot of unique customizable specials

I was ok with the idea somewhat as I don't care for Marth to begin with, but then they denounced Chrom as an assist who would have been great and pretty much revealed over the other half of the video that the spot was taken by an all too familiar move set character.

I'm thoroughly disappointed.

Like if they want to make Marth again, but different in some way, just bring back Roy for the fans.

[Starlogical]

To be fair, either Lucina or Chrom for FE:A would've made for a pretty cloney experience overall (then again, it could be justified if you've actually played Awakening.
I'm just glad they decided to put in someone that's a mage.

On another note, I was highly disappointed when the footage of Captain Falcon was him mostly getting beaten up by Robin.

I still would have preferred a clone Chrom over Marth with longer hair so I could differentiate them, but I have to admit I'm pretty satisfied Robin popped in at least.

And you know, the inevitable Captain Falcon that people seriously considered wasn't going to happen.

[Rojo Espada]

She's either going to be a clone like Roy was or just a skin for Marth.
Either way I'm still a bit disappointed that she'll be on or the other but I'm still excited that she's in the game anyway.

[nasa peepo]

I'm not a fan of Awakening, so I couldn't care less.

I'm still waiting on Ness. I mean I know he's a part of the core cast but I'm still worried for my main.

Aoki-Star

I agree, I didn't like Captain Falcon's treatment either.

No one ever thought that. Falcon has been a flagship fighter since the N64. It's the same reason why Ness will show up before release too.

Now you can argue that they rid it of Metaknight, Jigglypuff, and Ganondorf, but they really did it due to the amounts of characters they have for those games anyways (Kirby has 2, Pokemon has 4, and Zelda has 4). Dropping out their only fighter from F-Zero and Earthbound doesn't seem like a likely thing to do.

To be fair, I should have put "some people" because I have come across several people worried he wouldn't pop up for whatever reason, mostly being the late introduction.

Either way, you can't claim 100% on anything.

Extremely happy. The first character in Smash series since Sheik's appearance in Melee that actually make me excited for the game. Now only if we could have Simon Belmont and Midna.
