Modder Makes Chrom Playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

This is news? I'd think it would be more in the "weirdness" section.

For a second there I thought it said that they hacked him into the Wii U game. 0_0

I can see why Sakurai didn't want Chrom to be in this game. He would be to similar to Marth in terms of swordplay.

Cool, but eh. Chrom is the most forgettable and boring lord in the entire series (even more so than Eliwood).
Nothing about him stands out, aside from having access to an awesome version of Master Lord class, which SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO DLC ROY, EIRIKA, AND EPHRAIM.
sigh, for a game that's supposed to be the "All-Stars" game for the series and sell almost entirely on fan service (would've been the final game if it didn't sell well), they managed to get so many things wrong.

It was only a matter of time.

He should have been added to the roster in SSB4.

@AVahne Ehhhh
Whether or not he's more forgettable than Marth is kinda debatable. I've heard more people say that Marth is more forgettable, although I personally liked Marth a lot more than Chrom. But yeah, it kinda sucks that they chose to do Chrom of all characters, although if my favorite lord was in instead...well that would look kinda ridiculous. You can probably guess who it is from that.

@Ducked He doesn't really have anything unique to stand out among the other swordsmen, and we already have a few reps from Fire Emblem. Would kinda be a pointless decision. Robin was a much better choice, since we hadn't seen a Mage represented in Smash Bros. yet. This isn't even mentioning that Chrom is basically the most boring and forgettable Lord, although I suppose that's not as important.

@L8T He's a better character then Ike IMO. Adding him wouldn't hurt anything. He's got a pretty good fan base too.

@L8T
Personally, even if he doesn't have supports or base conversations to develop him, I think Marth is a much better character than Chrom. He has more accomplishments, faced bigger threats, and dealt with more hardships than Chrom. I'm not entirely sure if I could figure out who your favorite lord is. The only character I think would look ridiculous in Smash Bros. would be Elincia, but I'm not even sure if she counts as a lord.

Its just a skin, not really impressed. Was hoping he had original moves like Shadow and Ridley.
They might as well should have made Erika and just rip and modify Lucina's sound

@Ducked
Adding him would be a bit of work for the dev team and Sakurai though. Even if they made minimal changes to make him less cloney, they still have to spend many hours balancing him out and making sure he plays fine. Not to mention all the animation work, rigging, bug checking, and whatnot just to add a single character. It's a lot of work just for a pretty unnecessary character.
And interesting opinion. Personally I think that Chrom cannot hold even a single candle wick to Ike, but that's just me.

@AVahne I see I'm one one of the few that thinks this. I guess you're right. I'd still like to see him added as DLC.

@AVahne The one I was thinking of was actually Sigurd. I'd love to see him in Smash Bros., but there's the minor problem of the fact that he's always riding a horse, and never gets off of it in game, since he starts off in that class, and the dismount command was removed for some reason. It would be kinda ridiculous if he was riding a horse, so I suppose the closest character we can get it Seliph, although at this point there's not really much unique they can do with either of them.

@Captain_Gonru
Hm, considering they only seem to want to put main characters (more recognizable than sub characters), the only other mages who would fit in Robin's slot are Micaiah and maybe Celica. Sanaki could also be considered, but that'd be stretching things.

He still looks too much like Marth (well, he is Marth's direct descendent) that I have to wonder why they even bothered with this.

On another note, I love how Sakurai basically used Palutena's Guidance with Robin as a hilarious in-game response to the fans as to why Robin was selected to be a playable character rather than Chrom.

@AVahne Well, they could've made Chrom the Marth clone instead of Lucina, but Lucina was the better choice to get another woman into the game rather than another guy who already looks pretty similar to Marth anyway.

@L8T
Well, even though he was a Knight Lord and thus rode on a horse whenever he was playable, it'd be weird if he couldn't fight unmounted. So I don't think he'd be that weird of an addition. Sadly we'll likely never see him added, but at least one of Ike's alternate colors pretty much emulates him.

@BulbasaurusRex
Maybe, but like you said, they probably wanted to get more women in the game. Besides that, I think Lucina was considered the more popular character, so she was chosen over her lord daddy.
Besides, she's also the only other lord in the series to have some kind of father still alive by the end of the game (even though technically HER father is dead, but at least she still has alternate universe father). The only other lord with this status is Roy, whose also the lord with the biggest harem XD

@Captain_Gonru I honestly do see where you're coming from with that. In fact, I thought something along the same lines when I heard Robin was announced, and I wasn't expecting him to be in for the same reason. For a mage character, though, I think Alvis would be a good fit. Not only is he a mage, but he would also be a good villain representative, since Fire Emblem doesn't have one of those in Smash Bros. Although, he hasn't been in a game for years and therefore basically has no chance, and even if he did the only way he would get in is if Sigurd or Seliph was.

We need another fire emblem character like we need another kid icarus character-- both of which we need about as much as another hole in the head.

Model swaps on their own really aren't that impressive anymore. Would have been impressive a couple years ago, but that train has sailed.
People are doing WAY more advanced things with Brawl now. I mean look at Project M, which hacks Brawl into AN ENTIRELY NEW GAME.

That isn't Chrom. Why does he have feet?

Chrom got his chance today.

@Ducked He's a better character then Ike?Brother he would be clone of him.how can you even say that?But Chrom is better then Ike!That's hilarious!

@midnafanboy Ike was boring. Chrom had so much character development it was absolutely amazing!

@Ducked But Ike fights for his friends!How is that boring?

I'd take Hector over Chrom in Smash. We needeth Axe-wielding Lordth..

Yes, a Project M: Wii U Edition with playable Chrom, Ridley, Snake, Rayman, and Waluigi would be awesome.

@outburst I'd much rather have Boyd playable, more characters from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn please! Also, those 2 games released in some way (e.g. VC, HD/3D remaster) so everyone can experience them without spending like £200.

@Grumblevolcano

Path of Radiance HD and Radiant Dawn Wii VC!

Can't remember where I saw it (might be a dream) but Sakai wanted both chrom and Lucina but seeing as they both fight like Marth (according to lore) he decided to opt for just Lucina since there are no female sword users.

I was hoping Donnell would appear

@AVahne

If Awakening never came out, I'm pretty sure Micaiah would've got Robin's slot. She'd be an awesome playable character but Robin is still a very unique addition to the Smash 4 roster.

@midnafanboy

Ike was boring?!? He's arguably had the deepest character development of any FE main character. Ike had a pretty intriguing coming of age story from new recruit>mercenary commander>general. Chrom may have the respect of the Shepherds but Ike earned respect among the Greil Mercenaries, nobles, generals, laguz and soldiers from every country of his entire continent. I like Chrom but he's a cookie cutter FE lord. Ike wields a better sword, better animated Aether, and battled a god. Noone touches him

I'm pretty sure this happened a while back anyways (probably before smash 4 even came out actually). The smash modding scene is amazing

Ohhh. I thought it was a PSA. Well, this is still pretty neat anyhow! I haven't gotten into Brawl customs for quite some time now (transporting files and stuff was always time-consuming). Perhaps I'll get into it again someday.

@Turbo857 I didn't say that if you read my comments one of them was me defending him,the other was a joke.So i think you got the wrong guy friendo.

@midnafanboy

Wow, lol. Absolutely right. Sorry 'bout that, mate.
