Fire Emblem Characters for Smash Bros Next Game
Which Fire Emblem characters should join Smash Bros?
In brief
Which Fire Emblem characters should join Smash Bros? The writer recommends Eshmel, Peppe, Cai, Goliath, Dante, and Fabio for inclusion in the next Smash Bros game based on their unique abilities and potential impact. Originally reported by Polygon.
Eshmel
The writer wants Eshmel to join Smash Bros without being another Byleth, preferring their unique fighting style and trident class.
“Not when Eshmel has a unique fighting style (that almost certainly points to their identity in a former life)”
Peppe
Peppe is too weak and hard to recruit for Smash Bros, but could be fun if his kit leans into memes and speed.
“The kid just can't catch a break pre- or post-timeskip! He's the fastest little thing in the world, but his horrendous strength puts him on par with a gnat in terms of combat potential.”
Cai
Cai has a godly spear and can summon ornius dinosaurs for mobility, making him a strong candidate for Smash Bros.
“He can summon ornius dinosaur-birds for his mobility skill and trample anyone who gets in the way.”
Goliath
Goliath is the ideal big dude in armor for Smash Bros, offering tank-like abilities without being too similar to existing characters.
“Give us a Big Guy and make them a tank like Bowser or even Donkey Kong.”
Dante
Dante is a character the writer likes for Smash Bros, but no specific role is mentioned.
“I just like Dante. I think she's neat.”
Fabio
Fabio is the best Fire Emblem character for Smash Bros due to his aggressive magic and unique special moves.
“If there can only ever be one more Fire Emblem character in any Smash Bros. game, it has to be Fabio.”
The bottom line
The writer recommends Eshmel, Peppe, Cai, Goliath, Dante, and Fabio for inclusion in the next Smash Bros game based on their unique abilities and potential impact.
