Which reminds me...why the hell are there like 10 characters from Fire Emblem and about 6 of them are echoes? :dahell:

6? Thought it was just Lucina and Marth. But a lot of them came in with the Wii U smash, which got some people heated. Corrin pisses me off tho.

Actually.... 7
All of these characters are from Fire Emblem and are echoes

Marth
Ike
Lucina
Roy (Marth's Echo)
Corrin
Robin
Chrom (Roy's Echo)

The only character here that plays significantly different than the rest is Robin.
Not sure why Nintendo chose to have so much Fire Emblem representation.
There are a number of characters they could have used to replace some of the redundancies of these characters.

I was hoping for Alucard to make an appearance.
That long list of characters starts to look significantly smaller when you remove the echo characters and any characters that share similar moves.

Still a fantastic game though. I just wish they mixed characters up a bit more and gave them significant differences.

This is incorrect.

These are the official echoes:

  • Dark Samus (4ε) - Samus' Echo Fighter
  • Daisy (13ε) - Peach's Echo Fighter
  • Lucina (21ε) - Marth's Echo Fighter
  • Chrom (25ε) - Roy's Echo Fighter
  • Dark Pit (28ε) - Pit's Echo Fighter
  • Ken (60ε) - Ryu's Echo Fighter
  • Richter Belmont (66ε) - Simon Belmont's Echo Fighter
There are 7 total echo fighters and they are not all FE characters.

Roy is not an echo fighter(he always played differently than Marth. Even back to the Melee days Roy played differently. They share a few similar moves and then ones that do have different attributes. Anyhow they are not echo fighters.

I never really cared for Smash, will I still enjoy this? Also how is the single player?
If you don't care about Smash then don't bother. I always knew you were an Xbox cheerleader hyping up Phil Spencer.:scust:

Get out of this thread while you have a chance and go play Gear of War 8.

I misspoke referring to them as echo....but what I'm really pointing out is that across the characters I mentioned I don't like that:

A: They come from the same game (a game I don't particularly care about)
B: Their move sets are similar. (It's not enough difference for me like say; Captain Falcon VS Mario)

And I'm not saying those are the only ones. I know there are others. I just had mentioned that I didn't understand why Fire Emblem was getting so much representation.

Negged.

Nah but jokes aside the game is fun as hell and the SP is the best of the series so far from what I've seen. The World of Light mode is like a lite rpg take on Smash Bros with themed battles/conditions from "spirits" which are basically images of characters across various games and franchises. Classic mode is themed after individual fighters games.

I'm just pointing out you were pathetically wrong and I am calling you out on this slander. How dare you.

You on that well technically shyt.

Marth and roy are essentially the same character except roy is slower, has fire and his sweetspot is diff. He might as well be an echo.

The FE characters that dont play anything like each other are marth, ike, corrin (and thats a stretch) and robin.

The rest might as well be echoes of marth.
