My friend and I were actually discussing the SSBB characters a few weeks ago, and she had a theory that Ike was going to be included to represent Fire Emblem like Marth and Roy did in SSBM since of PoR's release. ; 3; I hate hearing, "I told you so~"

I think Marth is still a suitable candidate though, since he was a decent stand alone character in Melee.
Not to mention how sexy he'd be in high definition... *melts*

Marth is a favorite among tournament players, particularly in my area. He has a high tier ranking. So far it seems like the developers are trying to give everyone what they want, and it could go two ways. Either they'll give us Marth because of his popularity, or they'll give us Ike and incorporate some of Marth's moves into his gameplay.

But still, I want Marth damnit.

Well I'm glad he's popular over on your end! D: I know people in my surrounding area couldn't care less.

that's what's been worrying me =_= just a quick peek at any larger smash forum and you'll find tons of examples of so-called Marth fans that like him for his moves/abilities. Not for the fact he's just a swell girly dude. In other words it seems to me that, to the majority of fans (western ones at least!) anyone could replace Marth as long as it's some bloke with OHH COOL SWORD MOVES. With Ike i expect the majority of smash-geeks will be just as content.

Someone from Nintendo must have seen that thread on Smashboards asking for a "manlier" Marth. As in, "I like his moves but he's way too girly!!!" Because they don't wanna learn C. Falcon or Ganondorf or Snake or something. And then someone posted a picture and said, "Why can't they make him look like this?"

It was a picture of Ike.

And now, many months later...it all comes to this. -_-v
