I recall this thread coming to the consensus that Marth was sort of a Roy clone in Melee rather than the other way around. It stands to reason that Ike takes Roy's power moveset (he is pretty damn powerful) and Marth gets a new one more appropriate for his character.Dark Ninja said:MARTH NOT OUT!!
The Fire Emblem Icon is still the Falchion
Marth's Sword!!
It also has the added benefit of rebalancing Marth.

Hm? I said I think Ike is just straight out replacing Roy. My personal prediction is that Marth will stay.Haunted One said:

They might make Marth a faster Ike clone, but I can't see Marth being included with a different moveset (even if it is his old one). The problem is that Marth and Ike look too similar. They both are swordsmen with capes and blue hair. It would be pretty bad game design to make them separate characters, since people who aren't that into fire emblem would probably get them confused regularly (especially since Marth is Japan only). That's why i think math is a clone, a costume, or gone, and Ike likely absorbed most of the Marth moveset.
If they add another FE character, it should be Lyn(female, fast) or Hector(since he'd have an axe based moveset) since they would offer much more appearance and moveset variety. Or i guess Black Knight for a villain, maybe an Ike clone

I will try to find it used at the local used videogame shop. I hope its cheap. I have so many GC games to get through (Killer 7, Eternal Darkness, & Wind Waker) and Wii games (Scarface, Paper Mario, & Barnyard).

Its a joke. When I first joined NeoGaf, I convinced Lobster aka BlindN-Fan that I traded Twilight Princess for Barnyard.

ah, oh yes, I agree. It's early and I didn't have my coffee yet etc.ShockingAlberto said:
Although... Marth has blue hair, Ike has blue hair.. maybe Sakurai doesn't want to confuse people and keeps Roy the redhair around (or the green-haired Sothe).
nah, Pikachu and Pichu were included in the first game as well, those looked similar already.
Having a female Fire Emblem character in this game sounds great.
Along with Zelda, Peach and Samus, that will make four females, which is much needed in a game which will have 30+ characters. (No, Jigglypuff and Ice Climbers doesn't count >_>)

From Fire Emblem, Ike appears! The fact that he can wield a two-handed sword with a single hand is a testament to his magnificent strength.
His brings his special move "Aether" with him as he crashes the Brawl party. Try for a single-stroke finishing blow with his mighty blade!
This game looks ***ing amazing with every character !!!
WOW hoch 1000 !!!!

They just need to give Marth the Fire Emblem shield. That should make him look distinct enough from Ike.
The Black Knight is stated to use Grail's fighting style, just like Ike... though I don't think there will be clones this time, considering the existence of the Assist Trophies...

So, this would be the first non-returning, unrevealed character.
Hm. I wonder if this will set a trend of new characters for a while.

Unlockable characters weren't shown on Melee's website until after the game's release iirc. Snake is a 'hidden' = unlockable character for sure, but I don't know about Meta-Knight. Could be an unlockable as well, so I think we'll 'only' get the starting roster in the upcoming weeks/months.Kreed said:

I hope they come quicker than that, but if its once a month and doesnt include secret characters, that would be pretty good.

Let's see, it's August. We'll assume the last update we get will be December 2nd, something like "I hope you enjoy playing the game!" and maybe the secret characters shown some time after.
So, today was August 1st and we got a new character. That leaves September, October, November, and December for unrevealed characters. Using Pkunk's list, there just happens to be four remaining series we haven't seen yet.

This is the first Wii game to actually have next-gen quality character models. Cool. Ike looks fab.
I'd be amazed if Marth and Ike were in the game together, though, myself. Both look WAY too similar to be in it, IMO. Blue Hair, blue tunic, big sword... I don't see it happening, personally. I think having two characters who are visually almost identical is a mistake. They were pushing it with the Pichu/Pikachu thing.

I wouldn't count him out. if anything, he might just be joining Marth and Roy so there'll be a trifecta of that group of characters (like the Mushroom Kingdom and the Hyrulians)
...or not. Man, Dec 3rd needs to come faster. I think the update today counted as a slight megaton.

I'd like to see Hector rather than Roy.
Him and Ike are the strongest lords, anyway.

Please DON'T use the word megaton, especially for a character update that is NOT surprising at all. Master Chief in SSBB WOULD be what you'd call a megaton (kind of) but this, no
A new sword-wielding character from Fire Emblem... I wonder what this means for Marth and Roy... I suppose one of the two will not be in Brawl.

Nice! But where is peach!?

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Woa, awesome update.
For some reason, kinda makes me want to see Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia in the game now.

EktorPR said:Wow, completely unexpected. After Path of Radiance, Ike became possibly my favorite character in the Fire Emblem canon. And he looks ****ing great: the model is amazing. I hope now that since Ike is in, Marth and Roy get replaced with this other PoR beauty:
Agreed. She was one hell of a brutal tank.
Can you imagine being a red headed, long braided, armor-clad woman with a GIANT AXE standing over Pikachu, attempting to cut it in half? :lol Only in Smash, man

This really makes me wonder if Meta-Knight is a secret character, as it seems really weird to not have his profile yet.
