No unique characteristics as a fighter (he’d probably have been a hybrid of Marth and Ike anyways), so cut him and you’ll get a clone instead. It might’ve been more interesting honestly to have Lucina as the costume swap for Marth and just not’ve changed anything. It sounds like a Fox/Falco type of situation though, but I’m planning on using the customization features anyways so you can always differentiate Lucina yourself. Hopefully she might even have different alternate moves, and her specials are just slightly modified.
It’s cool to know that Sakurai played FE13 and immediately had the inspiration for Robin. It makes me all the more excited to play that character. Can’t complain about four characters though - Sakurai wuvs us.
This coming from the man who genderbent half the crew from Akaneia…
Friendly reminder that every FE rep not Marth has been on the other end of the tier list than Marth. Considering how much he’s been nerfed so far, I think we know where everyone else will be placed.
I also laugh at Sakurai’s reason for not including Chrom.
