Even if she has her own visual animations changes but was given her own "slot" because of some engine limitation I'd have to go into dumb arguments of the technicalities of what counts as a "alt costume."

Well now I wait for the big fat italian man, glad Captain Falcon was revealed.

How is everyone today?

[QUOTE=RikohZX;45386947]Fire Emblem Awakening ascended the franchise nearly to one of Nintendo's primary series alongside its main legacies. It's a turn-based strategy series, yes, but everything is a niche technically. It's no surprise that it's pretty damn popular, and if anything it's poetic since Smash Bros helped Fire Emblem even really become a [i]thing[/i] in America (even though the characters are chosen with the Japanese fanbase in mind first, but still).[/QUOTE] I would hardly call it a main series just because one of the games sold well. If it continued to sell well then you'd have a point but it could all very well be a fluke.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/FKgztm1.png[/img] Like this is on the site and everything, it's just not the one they went with.

Still think Shulk > Lucina... Lucina looks just an copy of Marth, at least Shulk would have new moves and represent a new franchise.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;45387001]mario is already in[/QUOTE] The one in the yellow you silly goose.

[QUOTE=Sift;45387002][img]http://i.imgur.com/FKgztm1.png[/img] Like this is on the site and everything, it's just not the one they went with.[/QUOTE] It says NEWCOMER, soo everyone should stop arguing. Please. Please?

[QUOTE=Inspecter;45387008]The one in the yellow you silly goose.[/QUOTE] no that's an alt costume !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;45386925]How about some of you calm down. Don't like a character? Don't play as them. Simple as that.[/QUOTE] waste of space for other more interesting characters

[QUOTE=Hentz;45387007]Still think Shulk > Lucina... Lucina looks just an copy of Marth, at least Shulk would have new moves and represent a new franchise.[/QUOTE] They're also not comparable in the slightest. Shulk is probably still going to get in. It's not like Lucina replaced him.

[QUOTE=Sift;45387002][img]http://i.imgur.com/FKgztm1.png[/img] Like this is on the site and everything, it's just not the one they went with.[/QUOTE] So you're telling us they deliberately chose not to put "newcomer" on her banner when the option was absolutely there?

[QUOTE=Glitchman;45387019]waste of space[/QUOTE] that's the dumbest argument ever how is adding lucina a waste of space when there is no limit to begin with ?

[QUOTE=ashxu;45386971]Has there been any other character with an "x joins the fight" type reveal? Clone characters aren't out of the norm so you can't really point to recycled content as an argument, the two most famous fighting game characters were head swaps.[/QUOTE] Charizard. Veterans in the Smash direct. Lucina's reveal also had "?!" at the end, "Lucina wakes her blade?!".

Clone characters aren't out of the norm so you can't really point to recycled content as an argument, the two most famous fighting game characters were head swaps.[/QUOTE] Not saying that her being a clone is out of the question just saying that it's a little weird that she isn't classified a newcomer on the front page like Robin is, assuming she's a clone she'd still be a "newcomer" right? Why would her portrait be smaller?

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;45387025]So you're telling us they deliberately chose not to put "newcomer" on her banner when the option was absolutely there?[/QUOTE] yes

[t]http://i.imgur.com/n5pjj1P.png[/t] It's probably been posted already I just hadn't seen it yet.

On the desktop site she has a veteran sized panel.[/QUOTE] Just calm the hell down about it all, jesus christ.

[QUOTE=GastricTank;45386866] Also, all the people complaining are probably the people who haven't even played a Fire Emblem game ever lol.[/QUOTE] having played fire emblem, there are too many characters that have swords there are only so many different moves that you can do with a sword robin is at least a bit different, but lucina looks pretty bad

[QUOTE=Maruhai;45387028]that's the dumbest argument ever how is adding lucina a waste of space when there is no limit to begin with ?[/QUOTE] devil's advocate: they can't keep developing characters forever, there is still a deadline to meet and every green light they give to one character idea denies other characters that much time to be developed

[QUOTE=Sift;45387002][img]http://i.imgur.com/FKgztm1.png[/img] Like this is on the site and everything, it's just not the one they went with.[/QUOTE] Not surprising, really. I imagine the reason they didn't go with it, is because they didn't want her to take the attention from Robin. Everyone else with a big banner bring something new to the table, and from our knowledge Lucina is still mostly a clone. She's probably mostly put in as fanservice anyway, since she have big following in Japan. Which is fine, nothing wrong with fanservice.

[QUOTE=XSFOX;45386954]Yeah I'm not stupid, she could end up being on her own character slot for all I know as a special case potentially like Dark Pit despite playing being the same character and that's enough to fulfil the conditions. Regardless I see the potential of her not having the tipper or minor damage changes to be possibly be a clone, but that's not something I can see in the video. Currently the small banner, her animations and attack effects all being ripped from Marth (even specials), sharing her video with Robin and that she's not the same character but gender swapped "thus site page" is why I currently believe she's an Alt.[/QUOTE] Forgot to mention she has a question mark in her tagline.

[QUOTE=Shortyish;45387042]having played fire emblem, there are too many characters that have swords there are only so many different moves that you can do with a sword robin is at least a bit different, but lucina looks pretty bad[/QUOTE] If Lucina is a clone, she's the laziest one in franchise history.

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;45387045]devil's advocate: they can't keep developing characters forever, there is still a deadline to meet and every green light they give to one character idea denies other characters that much time to be developed[/QUOTE] lucina's development time was probably the time it took to make her model + 2 days

Also [url=http://www.smashbros.com/us/3ds/index.html]this page[/url] classes Lucina as a new fighter too. And we also have to remember the moveset customizations, which will probably give her different tweaks than Marth's.

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;45387052]If Lucina is a clone, she's the laziest one in franchise history.[/QUOTE] how can you judge when you didnt even play her for all you know her moves act so differently gameplay wise that it's a fox/falco scenario

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;45387025]So you're telling us they deliberately chose not to put "newcomer" on her banner when the option was absolutely there?[/QUOTE] It's apparently up on mobile's. Like it's in the sites code. That's where it's pulled from You can't be this far in denial dude come on.
