Fire Emblem character suggestions - Ton - 09-06-2009
The poll will be later. I just want a feel for who we're kicking around. I (and others) don't know this series very well, so if you could put an explanation of their fighting style, a couple attacks, and maybe a picture of them, that'd be great.
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Koopaul - 09-06-2009
This is a difficult one. Fire Emblem lacks characters that are iconic/ memorable to the series as a whole (aside from the obvious ones)
They have a new cast often throughout the series. So in term of importance, its hard to know what character to choose.
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Ton - 09-06-2009
Yeah. The goals I'm setting here are A) a female character and B) A non-sword user. Hopefully that will help. Like with other decisions, I can be swayed from this.

Mmmm... If you like a female character non-sword usser, maybe the best option will be Micaiah (A perfect charact of the last Fire Emblem)
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Black Boo - 09-06-2009
Micaiah would probably be best for this. She's a mage, she has a large diversity of attacks, and she's female (duh).
Any thirds to this motion?
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Kosheh - 09-06-2009
*poops on topic* does this work
Recently just got into the series, and I have to say Sothe. im gay for him
![[Image: 424pxsothe.jpg]](http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9017/424pxsothe.jpg)
Rogue class; he's got good agility and his specialty is picking locks on doors and treasure chests. His signature weapon in Radiant Dawn is the Kard, a dagger that has a good crit rate.
He's a Rogue which is a promotion of Thief; and in Radiant Dawn he's a powerful character when you first get him ('cuz he's already promoted)
With this being Smash, you can be a little more flexible on character canon. Skills that rogues have in Fire Emblem are Pick, Steal and Shove.
Rogues can pick locks without a door key.
They can also pickpocket enemies that have Drop items (in other words you don't have to kill the unit, just steal their shit)
and Shove, which lets you push an allied unit out of the way 1 space (not sure why you'd use it, though)
Anyway way; if you want me to make up a complete character for him, heh OK
Imagine a character that's between Marth and Sheik - an agile FE-style character but rather light in comparison to Marth. That's Sothe. I'd say he's about the same running speed as Metaknight - which is a little quicker than Marth and a little slower than Sheik.
halfassed specials lol
i haven't thought of a B attack yet. Maybe something similar to his animation for a critical hit in FE10.
Side-B: something similar to Ike's - but instead, he travels at blinding speed, so he'll go through enemies rather than stop upon contact. It's weaker and has OK knockback; it's a good side-recovery
Up-B: Similar to Captain Falcon's except upon contact it's a throat-slice/kickoff.
Down-B: A counter. whoa. The window for it is longer than Marth's and does about equal damage to the enemy's attack but little knockback.
so uh yeah.
edit: wait what the hell no sothe is awesome what's this about a non-swordusing female this topic blows now what am i gonna do with micaiah
SACRIFICE MY HP TO OTHER MEMBERS the enemy to death?
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Kairos - 09-06-2009

Sorry dude, but we're not sexist (at least I hope we're not), and we've got too many sword users as is, though Sothe could be DLC later on if we expand the roster of non-sword-users first so we can keep some sort of equilibrium. (this however would probably be much later, and I'm not promising anything, I'm just an idea guy here)
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Kairos - 09-06-2009
How
was that post sexist.
It was acurate.

A dagger is not a sword, there's a rather large difference. Just pointing that out.

i'm not being sexist it's just
The extent of Micaiah's attacks are
Light-based magic
Sacrifice
and Shove
Now I understand Marth and Ike had purely made-up attacks based on animations from FE, but...
Micaiah...honestly, I can't even imagine Micaiah raising a hand to anybody except to do magic, and you don't want a pure magic user or she's just gonna end up being a Zelda clone.
and you know where that went
I'm not purposely being sexist, it's just part of Micaiah's character - she's really a pacifist.
If you want a character from Radiant Dawn, I'd go with Heather - although she's too minor IMO which is why I went with Sothe.
Heather's pretty much Sothe except...can't promote to Whisper [hence can't use Bane - an attack that lowers the enemy HP to 1]
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Black Boo - 09-06-2009
Heh...wow guys...the sexist comment was kind of sarcasm.
Anyway, I know very litlle about the series and characters, so I should just shut up now.
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Kosheh - 09-06-2009
Additionally I would have said Leila from FE (GBA first one) - a female thief
but she isn't playable, is Matthew's fling and dies in the same chapter she's introduced
but she'd be perfect
BTW, if you're going to be canonfag, Marth, Roy and Ike are Lords [the characters in the game who are pretty much "captains" - if they die the game is over]
There are only two female Lords in Fire Emblem: Micaiah and Lyn...and Micaiah isn't really a Lord.
Leaving...Lyn
![[+]](images/collapse_collapsed.png "[+]")
SpoilerSothe's also in both the US FE console games which is
uh
well he shares something in common with ike ok!!!!!
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Ton - 09-06-2009
Hm, I didn't know Mickjhfgklshg was a pacifist. That's kind of a snag. I don't want to use Lyn because she's ANOTHER sword user. Ike/Marth/Roy are already similar. I'd hate to water them down further.
RE: Fire Emblem character suggestions - Alpha Six - 09-06-2009
Just use Sothe, I like the idea.
