Chrom is a mix of Marth and Ike. He took Marth's Dancing/Flashing Blade and Ike's Aether recovery, but his Final Smash is his own style of Aether (ANYTHING CAN CHANGE!). Besides it's still Matt Mercer voicing him right?
Set that aside, I'm not at all excited though for him as we have I think 4 Falchions now in Smash. I would have been more hyped if it was Celica for Smash, either as an original or even an echo fighter of Robin (similar playstyles), because now that we got SoV last year, they should be more exposed to other games (gotta thank Warriors for that).
Well the echo fighters are characters that are really really famous not just in the FE community and a small number of people outside of the FE communuty but ALL of the people who are part of the nintendo community from all series. so Celica who is most likely jsut popular cause of the FE community won't be added to Smash when characters like Chrom,Dark samus,and King K Rool who are popular either by memes or just pure interest in the character then they are in the game.
I was hoping for Celica wielding sword and tomes too but there may still be more characters to be announced or DLC. So long as they don't pick Alm as Echoes representative.
To Makina: Remember how many remember Marth and the FE series debuted outside of Japan? The trope is called 'Marth Debuted in Smash Bros' for a reason. No reason a fairly unknown like Celica can't appear since Marth's series was unknown to the west.
Marth being in smash was so that FE can have more exposure to the mainstream audience and Sakurai knows this.
Celica can't be in smash for the same reason as Marth, cause it will have backlash like "FE has too many characters" and Sakurai will suffer for it, and besides FE does'nt need any more representation.
And Ultimate is supposed to be the game where the "MOST" popular characters will be in it, and I mean "the most" popular, characters known by the majority of everyone who has played a nintendo game, Celica is'nt one of those characters sadly.
I am not against the idea of celica being in Smash( I do actually),it's just most likely she won't get in.
Unless Sakurai acutally does it and I'll be a laughing stock.
I suppose there's logic there. Though considering Awakening is getting old now (6 years now) while Echoes is just a year, discounting it's a remake, and Celica has proven her popularity with CLY2 (not that Nintendo are likely to follow that closely) so she I'd have thought she'd be ahead of Chrom. Either way there's still DLC to hope for.
