So the new announcement for Super Smash Brothers was more than expected. We didn’t just confirm one character as expected but two new characters and the return of the Veteran Captain Falcon, but who were the two new characters?
Obviously if you don’t know you’re thinking one of them is Chrom. Afraid not. The two new characters are Lucina, and Robin the My Unit character both from Fire Emblem Awakening. Lucina honestly seems like a duplicate of Marth but not much was seen of her. Robin however looks really interesting with a combination of long distance magic attacks and short range sword attacks. Robin looks like a really adaptable character and personally as a Fire Emblem fan I’m overjoyed at the news but I honestly think Robin will be an interesting character to use.
However, this article comes with a theory. This is twice now we’ve seen anime style cutscenes to reveal new characters the first being Palutena at E3 where she comes in to rescue Pit from Link. Now Robin is rescuing Lucina from Captain Falcon. Honestly while they are nice it seems like a lot of effort just to announce a new character so I’m wondering if this has anything to do with a potential story mode for the game. As awesome as these short clips look I’m really hoping that’s the case.
