As characters individually Lucina and Chrom are fine. But within an already established Smash Bros there’s an issue I want to bring up.
In Melee Falco and Roy were the original echo characters. Done very well as both played vastly differently from their main character.
Now both Marth and Roy have echoes.
Chrom is an echo of Roy who is an echo of Marth. That’s an echo of an echo.
I know officially Roy is not an echo but functionally he is.
This means we have 4 different characters all based around the same move set.
Marth, Roy, Lucina, Chrom.
I do think that’s way too many with the same base move set.
Ike as flawed as he is is at least a totally different move set. So that’s great.
You could argue, but Wolf and yes you would be correct. However Wolf was not created as a blatant echo of an echo like Lucina and Chrom. Wolf functionally is an echo but still he plays very different. This is an echo character done well.
The other issue is Fire Emblem has that whole holy trinity of sword/axe/spear thing going. Did I get that right?
How come there is no spear or axe using Fire Emblem characters in Smash Bros? Also what about more magic user characters from Fire Emblem in Smash Bros?
So all we have is 4x the same base mode set plus Ike, Corrin and Robin. That’s 4/7 with the same base move set.
What do you think about this?
