Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

Well, spoilers, but since you asked, no. Lucina impersonates Marth for the first section of Awakening. I think her true identity is revealed somewhere around Ch. 10-12.

Her fighting style is so similar though that I expected her to just be an alt costume for Marth.

And yes Robin is the main character of Awakening. It's the player avatar that you customize the name and appearance of. The models shown in the trailer are the generic default name and appearance.

All right! Robin and Lucina, this is a awsome! I really like that Chrom and Female Robin are alternate costume too. Amazing.

Heh, that was probably the greatest trailer ever.

My first reaction when they revealed Lucina was "at least it's not Chrom".
Looks like I spoke too soon.
Oh well, ain't a big Smash Bros. fan anyway so don't particularly care who they reveal.

That was a great trailer. Oh and I think chrom is in alternate of ike while Lucina is an alternate of Marth. Remember the ? In her introduction?

Out of all the newcomer trailers, that one was without a doubt, my favorite. I know what newcomer I'll be maining!

Show me your moves!!!
Is it wrong that I was more hyped for Captain Falcon then the two Awakening characters (even though I love Fire Emblem).

@CaviarMeths Thanks!

The big mystery now is: What is Chrom?

Well, huge hype smile all over my face aside; I loved the video with the reason for that being it wasn't what everyone expected. Secondly, it means FE getting more reps for Smash and rightfully so! Sakurai almost had me with the Chrom trolling, and of course Captain Falcon; who out of the three missing veterans, I feel he's the most important of them. A bit random that he was there of all places but whatever. Oh and FemRobin, that's awesome too.

Robin mentioned something about his tomes....could it be that he gets limited use out of some of his moves before he's stuck with just the sword?

@Dreamy Great minds think alike, I was thinking the same thing.

Smash Bros. Website updated.

Whoa. they should have made it more obvious on who's playable and who's not

If only the Smash Bros. site can load so we can find out. >: (

Today is the day that the internet exploded. Nobody knows how it happened but the consensus is that it was probably due to the new character reveal for smash.

Chrom is the blue-haired, sword-wielding crown prince of Awakening. Every Fire Emblem game has one!

Except Fire Emblem 6 and 7, which both had red-haired, sword-wielding crown princes.

The Smash site is a mess at the moment, but it doesn't look like Chrom has his own place among the playable characters.

This also confirms that the Gematsu leak was fake... and that retweet had no meaning...

Shulk deconfirmed...

@CaviarMeths No I meant; Marth skin, Assist Trophy, Lucina's Final Smash? ._.
