Who else is ready for /ourguy/ Alm in Smash 5?

He'll be the first left handed Smash character.

>>378243796
If he replaces Ike, sure.

>>378243796
>Literally another falchion user
>will old news by the time smash rolls out
>there are characters that are more popular than him

Kek, why do people ride the OMG ITS NEW XD in smash threads? That's not how it works nor how characters get picked retards

>>378244348
>What is Link?

>>378245547
He meant the first good one, since link is always dogshit.

Id be okay with Alm. I like him.
I feel like at this point Marth and Ike are here to stay, but cycling out others could be fun. Replace Corrin with him, or Lucina. Keep Roy, hes my boy.

>>378245503
Seems to be how it works for FE characters.

>>378245194
This
why is Ike still in smash anyway?

>>378246470
Because he's even more popular than Marth and if both his votes from the Choose your Heroes event, he's the single most popular FE character within the FE fanbase

Nobody played this game because it didn't have waifufaggotry.

Expect a character from the unreleased FE on the switch even though their game probably won't be released by the time of their inclusion, just like Roy and Corrin.

>>378246003
Incorrect or else Chrom would be playable

Sakurai's own words say the character must

>Be popular
>Be unique
>Fit in and not clash with the rest
>Don't be dead in the mud for 15+ years unless you're a retro

Robin checks out, and so did corrin, at least with uniqueness. There are gba lords that are more popular than alm, and the switch protag will overshadow him, so alm is fucked unless IS specifically pushes him which I doubt

>>378244348
alt costume for roy

>>378245653

Don't bully Link, he tries his best.

>>378246470
He's the Yuri of fire emblem.

He's the only Fire Emblem character in Smash that Fire Emblem fans even like. If Brawl handled its Fire Emblem newcomer the same way Melee and 4 did, we'd have gotten Micaiah instead who people used to argue was the worst before Corrin happened.

>>378243796
>Remove Roy
>Remove Lucina
>Remove Corrin
>Add Black Knight as a fire emblem villain rep

There we go I fixed the Fire Emblem representation in Smash

I am ready to see Alm in Smash 5 as an Assist Trophy

>>378243796
I'd rather have /ourgirl/ Celica

>>378246470
Because he's more popular than Marth and is one of the most reoccurring characters in the Fire Emblem series

>>378243796
who?

>>378246470

Because he's gay

>>378243796
I'd like them to clear out all of the old reps and just have it be Marth, Alm and Celica. Maybe one other to tease a new game.

>>378247868
How many votes does Marth have if you add all his games?

>>378247868
He's kinda the first lord of the series bro, been in since melee too, why do newbies want him gone?

>Lyn at #1
So there's hope for her to get out of AT hell after all

>>378247868

>Corrin (female) even placing on the list

>>378248216
nobody really cares about his games
i'd rather have hector 2bh, he's the only non-generic sword lord

When will Nintendo stop shilling this shit series?

>>378248746
Well yeah but it just feels wrong to kick him out

>>378248981
it'd be wrong to kick him out for a literal who like alm, replacing him with a more popular character wouldn't feel wrong at all to me

>>378249307
>alm
>literal who

>>378249596
he is
literally nobody cared about gaiden
people only know about him because of echoes, which isn't even a real FE

>>378249307
I dunno man, it just wouldn't sit well with me even if they replaced him with a top 3 popular character

>>378245653
It's not his fault he's one of the only "balanced" characters. Leave Link alone.

If they wanted to do FE reps right, imo:
>Marth
For being the first.
>Lyn
For being the first in the west.
>Ike
For being in 2 games.
>Robin (or Chrom)
For being in the game that "saved" the series.

After that it's all opinion. But my votes would go to Ephraim, Eirika, and a series-wide rep like Anna or Tiki.

>>378249780
How is echoes not a real FE game?

>>378246685
Fitting for anything connected to Gaiden and Echoes. Two shit games that should've never have been created.

>>378249780
Echoes is unorthodox as fuck but it is unmistakably a FE game.

>>378243796
I'd be surprised if Alm got in given the lukewarm reception of echoes and he's just a fucking sword user.
Celica would be better since she has magic but I doubt she's going to get in either

>>378246665
>Nobody played this game because it didn't have waifufaggotry.

Nobody played this game because it's a faithful remake of a terrible game with terrible gameplay.

I question Lyn since the west tends to not carry that much weight in character selection (Bay Bayo , Mac, and maybe DH) but otherwise, good reasoning all around. Nice to know I'm not the only one who vouches for Anna.

>>378250343
>I don't fucking understand why Roy is popular. No fucking clue.

It's obvious dude, Smash, Le Fire blade, memes, and being a shitty underdog character .

>>378250343
>I don't fucking understand why Roy is popular. No fucking clue.
Likely because of Melee. I can't see any other reason.

>>378248642
Literally best waifu

>>378246470

Canon strongest character in the franchise :^)

>>378249932
If they want FE reps then pick ones that don't play the fucking same
Marth/Lucina/Roy is fucking terrible. All the other reps are fine since they have a varied enough move set and Lyn would also be fine since smash doesn't really have a speedy katana users.


In all likelihood the next smash rep is going to be the lord of the new swtich title anyway.

>>378243796
Yeah another fire emblem character...
>More FE shit
>More shit pokemons like Mimikyu and bewear
>More Mario characters
And that's it, smash 5 will be goty right?

>>378250594
monk pls, least lyn finally has global popularity going for her to remedy that, not him btw.

At least the new lord will probably not be too similar to anybody if Corrin is any indication. IS has become too wary of Smash Bros and pretty much designed Corrin for Smash Bros first, Fire Emblem second.

>>378251349
On that subject, I find it funny how even Sakurai, a confessed FE fan, wasn't sold on the idea of Corrin at first.

What's with the popularity of Robin/Corin? I don't see how anyone could pick them as their favourite character. I'm a contrarian faggot who's favourite is Lute but I can't comprehend why 14,000 would pick the character with zero personality

>>378252896
Considering some fans have Awakening as their favorite and think it's a masterpiece this shouldn't be all that surprising.

>>378252896
Self insert factor and Smash

Yes, s/he shares the the former with Kris and Corrin and the latter with Corrin, but New Mystery is JP onry and Corrin (Male Corrin moreso) is hated for being rather wish washy

>>378243796
I really do hope he makes it in.

Confession, I only voted for her because of her S tier design (when fixed by Smash)
