The announcement of Byleth into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a> was a universal shrug for the ages. A cold January comedown to slap you into reality after Banjo Kazooie and hot Terry. <\/p>\n Fire Emblem’s popularity though can be directly correlated to Marth and Roy’s inclusion in 2001’s Super Smash Bros. Melee. Before then, the series was only released in Japan, with Smash director Masahiro Sakurai opening the doors for worldwide release which led to crossover hit Fire Emblem Awakening in 2012. <\/p>\n Once popped however, Sakurai’s fun clearly doesn’t stop. Six additional Fire Emblem characters have been thrown in Smash since, nearly all of which have attracted livid western contempt. <\/p>\n So what’s the solution? There’s isn’t one. Instead, we grit our teeth, stomach Sakurai’s whimsy, and rank Fire Emblem characters to death. Absolute death.<\/p>\n For a crash course in understanding the hostile reaction to Fire Emblem characters, Lucina is your holy scripture. A direct clone of Fire Emblem’s Marth. <\/p>\n While clone characters like Dr Mario or Dark Samus offer some visually appealing cosmetic changes, Lucina’s style is indistinguishable from Marth. Bland, forgettable and pointless, Lucina is a prime candidate for obliteration into dust. <\/p>\n The Frankenstein’s monster of the Fire Emblem range; Chrom’s special moves are pulled from Roy, Marth and Ike, cobbling them together into a splattered mash. <\/p>\n Playing the character is an unsettling experience equivalent to cross dipping your breadsticks. Never settle for hybrids, you should always enjoy salsa and sour cream chive separately. <\/p>\n Robin represents an experimental turning point to move away from the stock swordsmen palette, only forgetting to make the character useful or entertaining in the process. <\/p>\n While potentially powerful for those who can master his ranged spells, nobody likes a tactician. Especially one equipped with a poxy lightning sword. <\/p>\n8. Lucina<\/h3>\n
