Lucina has variable speed based on who her mother is and it hardly matters because I think Ike's speed in his first game is higher than marth'sHurray for clones. Whichever one is faster out of Lucina/Marth will probably get used. The other will remain a shadow. Such a travesty for a character with a shetton of potential.
Anybody know whos in game speed stat is naturally higher?
So much for consistency. It's hard to dismiss the theory just based on that though. Ike and Marth weren't clones.Lucina has variable speed based on who her mother is and it hardly matters because I think Ike's speed in his first game is higher than marth's
So Chrom wasn't added because he would have been just another swordsman, while Lucina reeks of Marth clone.
Yeah, I don't really get Sakurai's comment of "not wanting another swordsman." Lucina somehow got added anyway.
It's obvious why. Lucina is just a skin with slightly different hitbox properties, something that could be finished in not even a week. Chrom would've been a completely new character, meaning that they would have to create a new model, design a brand new moveset, and constantly playtest and tweak him to make sure that he's balanced with the rest of the cast. And considering that only half of the confirmed cast is ready to be presented after two years in development, it's safe to say that it would take much longer.Kinda strange reasoning. He decided not to add Chrom so as to avoid having yet another Fire Emblem sword-wielder, but Lucina got it because she was only a little different than Marth and got upgraded from costume to full-on character.
