Comments on Twitch in a nutshell when Corrin was announced : 6% - Yay! Corrin! Man,this is awesome! 44% - Oh my god! Not another fire emblem swordsman,we already have 7! 50% - Wait...Who even IS Corrin?!
+Random Person I'm one of the 44% and 50% XD. It seems odd to me that they would choose her over Wolf who is also getting a game but had a lot of popularity.
"Another sword character, eurgggh." But more characters use punches than anything, hell the sword fighters aren't even alike with a few exceptions like clones. "Eurgggh ANOTHER Fire Emblem character, just like the others." HE TURNS INTO A DRAGON. That's original there.
+VN Reader Plus they all fought dragons, so now we can have a dragon fighting, dragon fighters from a series where the characters fight dragons while at stadium about dragon fighters
+VN Reader It is a shame though, even if they play out differently, they're still only putting swords on smash... If they're gung-ho on lords, why not give Hector and Ephraim some love?
NEW PATCH NOTES! Corrin: Corrin's special attacks now deal no Damage to Jigglypuff Jigglypuff: All attacks now deal 4x damage to Corrin while he transforms Greninja: Nerfed again.
+11wildy Same. I already do a decent Robin secondary and main Lucina (though I haven't used her too much in the recent months), so this will be awesome. Also plan on making Bayonetta a secondary of mine. Granted literally 75% of the entire roster is essentially secondaries for me as I'm pretty decent with almost every character out there. Only ones that I'm really terrible at is Wario and Lil Mac (though I have gotten kinda better with Mac than when Smash was initially released.)
+Sjono I think it's a joke about a reaction on his game's first trailer... In fire emblem awakening characters didn't have feet, and in fates they do have feet, so on the first fates trailer people were like "OMG they finally have feet!" like it was the only important thing.
Haters gonna hate. Fire Emblem has unique fighting styles and is one of the best franchises out there. There's nothing wrong with adding more characters from this series.
I remember voting for Corrin in the Ballot. I was crossing my fingers, hoping for the best. My friends said I was crazy, saying Corrin will never appear in Smash. And bam! Corrin confirmed for Smash. Oh man, is it February yet??
Dragon Ascent? That is Rayquaza'a signature move; and I will definitely get this guy because it is the only character as close as you can be for now to be a dragon (Charizard is not a dragon). Oh and Jigglypuff.....You will still get wrecked by Corrin you puny pink balloon, I cannot wait to use Dragon _"*_*_enter move*_*_"_ on you!
+Dragon Garchomp I love water types, and somewhat like marth, but marth is really underwhelming, and greninja is really meh. This character made me smile :]
Bracketmeister It is temporary, so it doesn't count. So Charizard is never a 'proper' dragon. And 'proper' dragons can learn Draco Meteor, Charizard cannot.
Corrin is a character unseen in Smash, he doesn't really fight with the sword. He's freaking awesome and unique, unlike Lucina, who's a clone. I like her, but her spot was wasted.
+hardrockmusickid Lucina's model was originally just a skin for marth, they then decided to slightly modify her stats to make her her own character. She didn't take anyone's spot if she wasn't added no one would have been added to take her place.
Hey i got a new character for the Shulk Back-Slash, Down Smash spammer i saw yesterday -_- but i love fire emblem *-* and his moveset fits more my styl than Robins so yeah i like him xD
+bachn vfxbgebvdcb Honestly... it was expected. No matter WHO was shown off today, there was going to be super angry people losing their minds. I know who I wanted in Smash and even THOUGH... I didn't get either of them, I was pleasantly surprised with who we got and with the final character I was like "NO WAY..." out of pure disbelief.
+Alfred Kamon no shit people are butthurt its another fe sword fuck with a counter. SIX FE and only 5 zelda and 2 DK characters , something is wrong here
Who ever says this is a Generic Sword, Character needs prayer and mental care. Cause many of them believe that every sword fighter can turn into a dragon.
I never expected another FE character, but I always thought that if we got one from Fates, Aqua (or whatever her English name is) would be cool since she has water powers or something and wields a lance. Corrin would have been my second choice. Then I see Corrin is confirmed, and now I feel happy, but also slightly sad. I'm happy for Corrin because I already like the character and the design, plus they have a unique moveset and I want to use them alongside Robin. I'm sad because this is yet another FE character, and I do feel there is too much representation in terms of characters for this series. Also, the only thing we get from Aqua is the theme of Fates. No mention or trophy. :( Can't wait till February!
Kamui/Corrin's moveset history in Fire Emblem Fates: -Dash Attack: Lethality skill -1st Jab & Side Smash: Dragon Fang skill, 2nd hit -Neutral Special: Dragon Fang skill, 3rd hit -Side Special: Dragon Fang skill, 2nd hit (Critical hit variation) -Taunt 1 (assuming it's a taunt, could be an ilde animation): Dragon Fang skill activation -Taunt 2: Female Kamui/Corrin victory animation (-Front Aerial: Dual Strike animation. Guessing from the position of their body, might as well be nothing really) If anyone else can provide any more, please add as a response
6 Pokemon characters are in smash and no one cares... 6 fire emblem characters are in smash soon and everyone is annoyed Why? It's good they have lots of representatives
This wasn't said, but Counter Surge is not a standard counter aside from attacks passing. The main difference is that you dodge and take the power from the attack and use it to buff your counter. Likely, this will have low power since it activates automatically without needing an attack, like Lucario's Custom Down-B.
I think they used a good camera angle and an attack that's not really noticable in order to trigger the counter attack. If you watch carefully, you can see a red spark shortly before the attack activates.
Where did Ryoma come from in the art at the end? Wasn't he on the other side? Also, I think Corrin wouldn't get in going by the rate Fire Emblem games are released. We'd have either FE15 or even FE16's lord/avatar in the next Smash.
+Aaron the flexing seahorse The character who is essentially his reflection in the game (Azura) is also barefoot. I think it makes them stand out, particularly in their part of the story.
+ToluDude Actually when you do a combo with Bayonetta, she'll fall to the ground like everybody when they do an Up-special. So that will make you vulnerable to a grab or attack especially with the unlimited air dodges this game has.
+Daniel Rutledge I don't understand why so many people don't want sword fighters. There are so many characters that punch and kick, why are sword fighters looked down upon?
I like how a lot of people in the last few recent days have been complaining and making salty comments about corrin because he's a FE character. And the funniest part is how they all say"Nintendo is using him for marketing the new FE that's coming out. Blah blah blah he's nothing but an advertisement" NO SHIT. Sakurai literally just said that at the beginning of this video that he was made to be put in smash BECAUSE he wanted people to check him out and the GAME he's coming from: FE Fates. Of course it's a marketing strategy. And a good one! Most badass move set I've seen out of all the fire emblem characters. The best part is that we were actually suppose to get just ONE more character before 2016 but he's giving us extra that we didn't even ask for. Well done sakurai. You did great this past whole year making smash 4 one of my favorite games of all time :)
9 Mario characters. 6 Pokemon. 6 Fire Emblem. hypocrites I swear...even 6 Pokemon were in Brawl and now you have the audacity to complain about 6 Fire emblem characters. So. Sad. Poor. Sakurai...
Both Pokemon and Mario are two of Nintendo's most popular and importantseries, so it's only natural they get so many characters. Fire Emblem, on the other hand, is an extremely niche series and it's not even close to being one of Nintendo's top franchises ore even one of the most recognizables / successful. So yes, having the same amount as Pokemon is an insult to more important franchises such as Zelda, Donkey Kong or Metroid.
I love how they say "his sword is not his primary way of fighting," yet everyone complains about another sword user. Was it like this with Robin? He's holding a sword too. I will admit this is quite a few fire emblem characters, but there's much more Mario characters.
I kind of saw some Fire Emblem character after Sakurai talked about making Fire Emblem characters for smash bros. either way though, I'm beyond hyped. Gameplay looks dope and original!
I saw, this, screamed internally of happiness, then after the live stream, called my friend, told her this, and after I was done talking I ran around the house with the trailer playing.
I don't understand why anyone wouldn't buy the special version of the game, if you're going to play one eg. Birthright the, you'll want to play more and you can get all versions (Birthright, Conquest and the Dlc: Revelation) for a better or equal price*. There is also some things like an art book that will come with it but for most players the game is what matters
If you look in Amazon Uk you can still see fire emblem fates standalone (without a subtitle for the edition), I think they'll just cancel the order or inform you that the game has been separated and ask if you want to get one of the games/special edition or cancel the order if you preorder it.
Corrin doesn't seem as bad as everyone though of him at first... When I saw his trailer I was kinda let down but now that I've had an in depth look at him, he looks pretty cool. And hey, I'm all up for dragons.
I'm don't know why people are so salty over Corrin. When you look at in on paper the fire emblem stats are exactly the same as Pokémon. Both have 6 characters for use, and both are popular Nintendo exclusive series. Sure its common knowledge that fire emblem is not as popular as Pokémon but it makes a hell of a lot more sense to add Corrin over characters like Goku
+Mojo Robo well it at least covers a bigger width from both sides. It's definitely one of the most defensive counters in the game. Plus spacing the water jets to juggle them into the air will be very dangerous in the right hands.
After a solid week and a half of play, there's two things that I feel need to be nerfed on Corrin: The charge shot and the counter. The charge shot I feel has way too much damage and launch power. It's primary purpose is supposed to be to harass or potentially set up a follow-up with the bite or a smash, bit the full power shot is comparable to Samus' full-power Arm Cannon in kill power while the bite is pretty much an afterthought. As for the counter, its base knockback is ridiculously high, on top of being an AoE and launching nearly vertical.. Doesn't matter who you are or what attack you used, if you're around 60% there's a good chance you'll die to it. And heaven help if you hit it with a serious attack, because it can kill from 0% if the hit is hard enough.
Playing Fates made me so glad that he made it in. Got a good laugh out of the OBVIOUS change between the canon design in game for female Kamui/Corrin and the difference of it in Smash. Looks like she put some pants on. ahaha.
+Gemm Cirk Except the fact that he does have some tool that will prevent him from being E tier. You can't go by that norm you speak of all the time, just look at sheik and rosalina for example. Corrin will be at least mid tier and not bottom tier because he has good tools with bair having ridiculous range, and he does have good combo starters with dtilt, utilt, f-air, and uair, he may even a have grab combos to. A character with that many options is never a bottom tier character. End of story. Plus he has a zss paralyzer which guarantees that he will have a strong camping game like what zss already has.
+Wesley Miller Yeah, i know, i was just using the joke that everyone uses when every newcomer is announced. He seems very versatile. Although there is something that bugs me about the dragon fang shot. When charged completely it can stun an enemy for a fairly long time, but once doing the shot, the bite follows it and there is a huge gap where Corrin is vulnerable. In other words, if you fail the shot from distance, Corrin is wide open to attacks, and i am just wondering if you will be able to cancel the bite after the shot.
the bite only happens if the enemy is really close to corrin, when he fired it at diddy kong, its end lag was the same as zss parlyzer, so its obviously a good projectile
+Gemm Cirk look later in the video where sakurai talks about the songs, you see corrin fully charge the dragon fang shot and it didn't bite anyone because no one was near corrin and ryu was frozen for like 4 secs, the move is the same as zss neutral b with a hitbox if someone is near Corrin, the move is really good actually.
REALLY! ANOTHER FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTER! I would have understood if it were Chrom (understood, not agreed with) BUT BETTER CHARACTERS WERE PASSED UP FOR THIS! Banjo Kazooie, Shovel Knight, Wolf! ALL CHARACTERS THAT WOULD MAKE NINTENDO MILLIONS!
Why Chrom over Corrin? Chrom is literally just a boring sword character. Corrin is half dragon. If anyone wants him over Corrin then they're just biased :/. The only character that I don't care about in your choices is Wolf. Wolf to me is so meh.
>I would have understood if it were Chrom Awakening was released 2013, a year before Sm4sh was ORIGINALLY launched, and there are already three characters from that title. It's time for Fates' characters to shine. This was a marketing decision to promote Fates, which takes precedence before fan favorites, like it or not.
Comments on Twitch in a nutshell when Corrin was announced :
6% - Yay! Corrin! Man,this is awesome!
44% - Oh my god! Not another fire emblem swordsman,we already have 7!
50% - Wait...Who even IS Corrin?!
*5 fire emblem characters I meant.
True 😅
+Random Person ... Im actually one of the 6%... and I'm not ashamed about it its awesome and a huge surprise to me that he appeared
+albert brito same here!
+Random Person I'm one of the 44% and 50% XD. It seems odd to me that they would choose her over Wolf who is also getting a game but had a lot of popularity.
"Another sword character, eurgggh."
But more characters use punches than anything, hell the sword fighters aren't even alike with a few exceptions like clones.
"Eurgggh ANOTHER Fire Emblem character, just like the others."
HE TURNS INTO A DRAGON. That's original there.
Ahem
*goat dragon of the sea
+VN Reader Plus they all fought dragons, so now we can have a dragon fighting, dragon fighters from a series where the characters fight dragons while at stadium about dragon fighters
+Noah Hartman Corrin, the legendary Goat-Dragon swordsman....I can't even say it with a straight face xD

2:48. Unfortunately, it lowers his defense and special defense by 1 stage
+spindash64 LOL
+spindash64 XD
+spindash64 also required for him to become mega Corrin
+spindash64 shoulda just asked ryu for some shoes Kappa

NEW PATCH NOTES!
Corrin: Corrin's special attacks now deal no Damage to Jigglypuff
Jigglypuff: All attacks now deal 4x damage to Corrin while he transforms

Dammit! Not another nerf!
Only (6. Gen) Pokemon fans will understand xD
But thats too great

DISAPPOINTING

EVER
+Captain Karnage
AND his game is coming out early 2016. So excited for this, although I hope to finish Xenoblade Chronicles X until then.
+Demibrot or pokemon
Meanwhile, when everyone is hating on Corrin, I've already decided to main him
+11wildy I already mained Robin so this will be perfect for me.
same here
sonicrulse1011 I'm going to get a Robin Amiibo and teach it everything I know so it can be my partner!
+11wildy Same. I already do a decent Robin secondary and main Lucina (though I haven't used her too much in the recent months), so this will be awesome. Also plan on making Bayonetta a secondary of mine. Granted literally 75% of the entire roster is essentially secondaries for me as I'm pretty decent with almost every character out there. Only ones that I'm really terrible at is Wario and Lil Mac (though I have gotten kinda better with Mac than when Smash was initially released.)
Gonna main
Cloud
Bayonetta
Corrin
"My real family is the smash family"
+Trainer Crimson He/she will be THE Brother/Sister character... in the Smash family.
+Trainer Crimson ....wait.. It all makes sense now! hes teaming up with the fire emblemers to conquer smash bros, for FE.
+GamerDragoon so that explains why there so many of them...
+Comrade Kick no, it's his Birthright
+StarMarxman No it's their destiny to fight the legendary heroes of smash
Dude can buy armor but not shoes
Would YOU want wet shoes?
+Sjono I think it's a joke about a reaction on his game's first trailer... In fire emblem awakening characters didn't have feet, and in fates they do have feet, so on the first fates trailer people were like "OMG they finally have feet!" like it was the only important thing.
Ya, someone need to hit him up with a pair of Jordans
It's got something to do with how he turns into a dragon.
+Fierce Deity Link 鬼神の仮面 dont need armor either but whose caring
Corrin is one of those characters that I hoped was in, but didn't expect to see them... and now that they're here, I'M HYPED!
Ikr??? This is so awesome
+Soni Adobi and he gets a Chainsaw Sword!
AYYYYYY HYPEEEE
Haters gonna hate. Fire Emblem has unique fighting styles and is one of the best franchises out there. There's nothing wrong with adding more characters from this series.
Rookie
"Has unique fighting styles"
Yet half of the roster consists of swordfighters and clones.
This "One's Thoughts" remix is amazing
So excited for both Fire Emblem Fates and for Corrin in Smash.
Yep
Corrin loo is so cool :D
3:44 Ill buy Corrin just for the two music tracks for both Fire Emblem stages. I just really love that melody.
I agree
Yeah, it is very good.
Ah... So beautiful...
Huh, what? Oh right, he was talking. Too busy listening to that amazing music in the background. >w>
+StattStatt Aqua's Song is sooooo good, HOLY SHIT. I'm almost more excited for the music than anything else
+Alfred Kamon Actually, EVERYTHING we've heard from the soundtrack is so good.
+Alfred Kamon yes jesus christ. I want this so bad right now. The song is beautiful, and i want the remix badly @_@
imagine you put someone sleep with that
Rather bummed we're not getting the Japanese lyrics, but oh well
I'm maining him. No arguments needed.
Aaaand, same.
Gotta say, based on current info, I still prefer Robin. However, Corrin is definitely on the list.
Well the "HE IS A DRAGON" argument is pretty convincing anyways
That remix of Lost in Thoughts All Alone...just...WOW.
I remember voting for Corrin in the Ballot. I was crossing my fingers, hoping for the best. My friends said I was crazy, saying Corrin will never appear in Smash. And bam! Corrin confirmed for Smash. Oh man, is it February yet??
+Flipnote Maker Sadly....no T_T
+Flipnote Maker *gives Time Machine* have fun
now it is
0:35 "Wii fit and Robin" what about the devil themself Villager?
Dragon Ascent? That is Rayquaza'a signature move; and I will definitely get this guy because it is the only character as close as you can be for now to be a dragon (Charizard is not a dragon). Oh and Jigglypuff.....You will still get wrecked by Corrin you puny pink balloon, I cannot wait to use Dragon _"*_*_enter move*_*_"_ on you!
+Dragon Garchomp I love water types, and somewhat like marth, but marth is really underwhelming, and greninja is really meh. This character made me smile :]
i mean he is a dragon
RUSH
+Dragon Garchomp Charizard X is dragon...
Bracketmeister It is temporary, so it doesn't count. So Charizard is never a 'proper' dragon. And 'proper' dragons can learn Draco Meteor, Charizard cannot.
Corrin is a character unseen in Smash, he doesn't really fight with the sword. He's freaking awesome and unique, unlike Lucina, who's a clone. I like her, but her spot was wasted.

NOT ONLY is this the 20th F.E. Smash has now, but Corrin looks OP AF!... I can't wait to play as him/her *smiling devil face emoji*
more range than shulk.....
someone's time is over....
Hey i got a new character for the Shulk Back-Slash, Down Smash spammer i saw yesterday -_-
but i love fire emblem *-*
and his moveset fits more my styl than Robins so yeah i like him xD
+xendingalot
Corrin: "Now it's Dragon Time!"
*uses Dragon Install from Guilty Gear*
SHULK TIME IS OVER
He isn't "feeling it".
xendingalot XD
Everything about Corrin makes me excited about his inclusion, especially the music.
LOVE the sound of music that comes with him. Especially the vocal version of lost in thoughts all alone. Its so beautiful :')
Holy fuck the salt is real
+bachn vfxbgebvdcb Honestly... it was expected. No matter WHO was shown off today, there was going to be super angry people losing their minds. I know who I wanted in Smash and even THOUGH... I didn't get either of them, I was pleasantly surprised with who we got and with the final character I was like "NO WAY..." out of pure disbelief.
+YuseiTheSynchroHero I'm glad I finally see a mature comment about this situation.
People are just being butthurt
+YuseiTheSynchroHero I was happy with Bayonetta, just not Corrin
Why do you think his armor is white
+Alfred Kamon no shit people are butthurt its another fe sword fuck with a counter. SIX FE and only 5 zelda and 2 DK characters , something is wrong here
I'm actually happy Corrin got in.
If just for how much I like his design.
Who ever says this is a Generic Sword, Character needs prayer and mental care.
Cause many of them believe that every sword fighter can turn into a dragon.
Finally get to hear most of Aqua's song!
I never expected another FE character, but I always thought that if we got one from Fates, Aqua (or whatever her English name is) would be cool since she has water powers or something and wields a lance. Corrin would have been my second choice. Then I see Corrin is confirmed, and now I feel happy, but also slightly sad. I'm happy for Corrin because I already like the character and the design, plus they have a unique moveset and I want to use them alongside Robin. I'm sad because this is yet another FE character, and I do feel there is too much representation in terms of characters for this series. Also, the only thing we get from Aqua is the theme of Fates. No mention or trophy. :(
Can't wait till February!
Kamui/Corrin's moveset history in Fire Emblem Fates:
-Dash Attack: Lethality skill
-1st Jab & Side Smash: Dragon Fang skill, 2nd hit
-Neutral Special: Dragon Fang skill, 3rd hit
-Side Special: Dragon Fang skill, 2nd hit (Critical hit variation)
-Taunt 1 (assuming it's a taunt, could be an ilde animation): Dragon Fang skill activation
-Taunt 2: Female Kamui/Corrin victory animation
(-Front Aerial: Dual Strike animation. Guessing from the position of their body, might as well be nothing really)
If anyone else can provide any more, please add as a response
... Who is this?....
+Mr. Game & Watch The new avatar from Fire Emblem Fates
+קירבי Kirby Likes He-BREW Because you know the character so well right ? -_- Game isnt even out in the US and people hating...
A bowl of corn
Funny coming from Mr.Game and Watch
+Gabe Nozea Respect your elders! Mr. Game & Watch is a PROPHET! lol
Biggest troll in Fire Emblem chooses to ditch important life decisions to join Smash lol!
This family, or that other family? Hmmm... Nah, I'll go for Smash
Like in real life
That's why he's really you.
Yato...
The god of calamity confirmed for smash.
Loving the English version of the main song. Can't wait to hear it in Fates itself.
Look at all that salt poured on the opened wound now.
I wish we could have heard more of that song!
You can pin your foes, more like you can IMPALE your enemies.
NO MERCY!
Must have learned that one from Garon
This is amazing!! I was hoping for a fire emblem villain but this will do just fine.
6 Pokemon characters are in smash and no one cares...
6 fire emblem characters are in smash soon and everyone is annoyed
Why? It's good they have lots of representatives
Corrin is in smash... just saying that gives me chills. my most wanted of my 2 ballot characters got in....
He seems cool, but I would have loved to see a new Metroid character like Rundas instead of another FE character
Whos Rundas?
+ultrasupervids and that's why Rundas isn't in Smash sadly.
***** I actually voted for him as well.
This wasn't said, but Counter Surge is not a standard counter aside from attacks passing. The main difference is that you dodge and take the power from the attack and use it to buff your counter. Likely, this will have low power since it activates automatically without needing an attack, like Lucario's Custom Down-B.
+SilverWayvernGaming Where did you get that information from?
+meowmere While it's not said, it does show Counter Surge by itself, with no attacks. It's right at the splash art for it.
I think they used a good camera angle and an attack that's not really noticable in order to trigger the counter attack. If you watch carefully, you can see a red spark shortly before the attack activates.
Ok, I watched it again and it's not really clear... So you could be right.
meowmere Maybe I am wrong. I did see the stance, but it looks like Lucario's custom Down B. Guess we'll find out when Corrin is released.
Finally. A Nintendo character
Where did Ryoma come from in the art at the end? Wasn't he on the other side?
Also, I think Corrin wouldn't get in going by the rate Fire Emblem games are released. We'd have either FE15 or even FE16's lord/avatar in the next Smash.
my only question is, why are they barefoot?
+Aaron the flexing seahorse The character who is essentially his reflection in the game (Azura) is also barefoot. I think it makes them stand out, particularly in their part of the story.
Fierce Deity Link 鬼神の仮面 moral of the story, shoes are for squares
Firestar1992 thanks for the info/insight
Fierce Deity Link 鬼神の仮面 shoes + human = ⬜, shoes + not human = 💯?
+Aaron the flexing seahorse
Because Japan is into some weird stuff at times.
To be honest, I wasn't sure about Corrin when I saw his trailer, but now I'm really intrigued to the point where I might want to make him my new main.
I thought male version was female version until I saw actual female version...
I think this last update for smash brothers was a good one. Very happy with it! :)
looks really cool but nooooo this could have waited for 5mash. Oh well R.I.P. Wolf IceClimber and Indie Game characters....Better Luck NX time
+13hurtandersonn I see what you did there.
I am actually so hyped for Corrin, I don't know much about the character but their moveset look fucking amazing
Is it just me who thinks he's going to be broken as fuck? I guess we'll have to wait until he gets released with bayonetta.
that side b cancel
Bayonetta is gonna be broken as heck.
a dual sided counter? I think so
+Conor Armstrong His Side B would be so broken in Doubles...
+ToluDude Actually when you do a combo with Bayonetta, she'll fall to the ground like everybody when they do an Up-special. So that will make you vulnerable to a grab or attack especially with the unlimited air dodges this game has.
I just gotta say there are no songs on the coliseum stage that I enjoy, but now both of the "lost in thoughts all alone" songs change that.
And yet another swordsman and Fire emblem character. Smh
+Daniel Rutledge I don't understand why so many people don't want sword fighters. There are so many characters that punch and kick, why are sword fighters looked down upon?
Kresnik's key no what really got me pissed was it was another Fire Emblem character. What had 5 already.
*cough* *cough* Mario and Pokemon characters *cough* *cough*
+PokemonBreeder Gohan cough cough two of the most popular Nintendo franchises in history cough
*cough* *cough* yea
I like how a lot of people in the last few recent days have been complaining and making salty comments about corrin because he's a FE character. And the funniest part is how they all say"Nintendo is using him for marketing the new FE that's coming out. Blah blah blah he's nothing but an advertisement" NO SHIT. Sakurai literally just said that at the beginning of this video that he was made to be put in smash BECAUSE he wanted people to check him out and the GAME he's coming from: FE Fates.

The best part is that we were actually suppose to get just ONE more character before 2016 but he's giving us extra that we didn't even ask for. Well done sakurai. You did great this past whole year making smash 4 one of my favorite games of all time :)
9 Mario characters. 6 Pokemon. 6 Fire Emblem. hypocrites I swear...even 6 Pokemon were in Brawl and now you have the audacity to complain about 6 Fire emblem characters. So. Sad. Poor. Sakurai...
LMAO!! And! What's your point? they don't count. THEY ARE POKEMON. Lmfao
Exactly 6. Are you not counting the Pokemon rather than ash. LMAO. Are you dumb?
Both Pokemon and Mario are two of Nintendo's most popular and importantseries, so it's only natural they get so many characters.

So yes, having the same amount as Pokemon is an insult to more important franchises such as Zelda, Donkey Kong or Metroid.
Anyone else noticed that Corrin is like Roy in Melee, they are both fire emblem characters from upcoming FE titles.
So many ungratefuls in the comments.
If Corrin has any jab-locking capabilities, Dragon Lunge, is the #1 easiest move to set up a jab-lock combo.

I was gonna say no more FE (they now make 13% of the roaster) but I gotta admit, Corrin is pretty badass. And their move pool looks wicked fun.
I love how they say "his sword is not his primary way of fighting," yet everyone complains about another sword user. Was it like this with Robin? He's holding a sword too. I will admit this is quite a few fire emblem characters, but there's much more Mario characters.
Because a non sword-user Fire Emblem character was too much to ask.
RIP Hector & Ephraim
Everyone ,including me, staring at pictures of their ballot choices,
"Hello darkness my old friend..."
+Rogue Yoshi Corrin wasn't from the Ballot though, that was the other one.
I'm sooooo hype for this new character!!!
3:03 The reason why I like Robin more than the other FE characters
i love that gameplay. My future main ! I can't wait february !
The thing I'm most excited for is seeing kirby copy that dragon fang shot. That's going to look hilarious.
Corrin looks awesome! Gonna be my second used FE character after Roy
He's going to be great in doubles with that side special
Heh, Dragon Ascent. It's the signature move of Rayquaza (the Pokémon) and now it's in Smash with some other guy instead.
Corrin is so powerful, he stole Mega Rayquaza's signature move!
"but I'm no ordinary swordsman!" - corin/robin
I kind of saw some Fire Emblem character after Sakurai talked about making Fire Emblem characters for smash bros. either way though, I'm beyond hyped. Gameplay looks dope and original!
I bought Corrin a week ago. I can't beat Cloud yet but I keep practicing
6 Fire Emblem characters aside, I like how unique his play style is.
I love this character...so much unique ...weirdness.
It's bad to think this but he could have took the place of shovel knight, or shatae, or banjo kazooie or even sora
that's not how it works
Even though this is another Fire emblem Character, at least he isn't a clone of the other ones.
This Direct Is Such A Disappointment
+GoldenTanookiMario5471 IKR I HATE IT GISH I WANT TO BREAK THE GAME
10/10 Would disappoint again
How
+GoldenTanookiMario5471 To you, to me it was the best one.
How's it a disappointment? They announced 2 new characters as well as stages, and Cloud's release date. That's pretty exciting if you ask me :/
Solo Robin mains no longer exist. We all want to pick up Corrin as a secondary, lol.
I saw, this, screamed internally of happiness, then after the live stream, called my friend, told her this, and after I was done talking I ran around the house with the trailer playing.
I so can't wait to main Corn.
Such a fucking let down.
why I'm happy about this
Salt
+Bk Big Fish this is great. Though he's probably mad that one of the characters he wanted wasn't included
+Kresnik's key well fire emblem now has a majority stake in smash
+Reggie is ready His body was too filled with salt. He must train to be ready.
If they had put Corrin in Smash when it came out he would have been an awesome secret final boss.
I think we should be thankful that Masahiro Sakurai doesn't think "What am I doing all this work even for?" yet.
I don't understand why anyone wouldn't buy the special version of the game, if you're going to play one eg. Birthright the, you'll want to play more and you can get all versions (Birthright, Conquest and the Dlc: Revelation) for a better or equal price*.
There is also some things like an art book that will come with it but for most players the game is what matters
If you look in Amazon Uk you can still see fire emblem fates standalone (without a subtitle for the edition), I think they'll just cancel the order or inform you that the game has been separated and ask if you want to get one of the games/special edition or cancel the order if you preorder it.
+Poop Poop and im sitting here in germany still waiting to get an release date for Fates...
fuck my life >
Here in Britain we don't have one either.
Same for Spain, it's safe to assume all of Europe is screwed
Same for Spain, it's safe to assume all of Europe is screwed
first i went "sigh, another emblemer?" then i realized he was a dragonborn
Dang in February. I have regents for classes in January D;
So Corin can use Rayquazza's Dragon Asent?
-corrin uses dragon asent
-It's super effective!
mega charizard aint got shit on this up air.
Corrin doesn't seem as bad as everyone though of him at first... When I saw his trailer I was kinda let down but now that I've had an in depth look at him, he looks pretty cool. And hey, I'm all up for dragons.
has anyone noticed he hasn't talked about his other aerials
I'm don't know why people are so salty over Corrin. When you look at in on paper the fire emblem stats are exactly the same as Pokémon. Both have 6 characters for use, and both are popular Nintendo exclusive series. Sure its common knowledge that fire emblem is not as popular as Pokémon but it makes a hell of a lot more sense to add Corrin over characters like Goku
A Fire Emblem character with a counter down special? This is revolutionary stuff, guys.
+Mojo Robo
well it at least covers a bigger width from both sides. It's definitely one of the most defensive counters in the game. Plus spacing the water jets to juggle them into the air will be very dangerous in the right hands.
Ah, fuck off
ShulkReks I'm sorry that jokes are beyond your understanding.
Mojo Robo yep, no humor here
I know. A counter that hits both sides and flings people upward.
After a solid week and a half of play, there's two things that I feel need to be nerfed on Corrin: The charge shot and the counter. The charge shot I feel has way too much damage and launch power. It's primary purpose is supposed to be to harass or potentially set up a follow-up with the bite or a smash, bit the full power shot is comparable to Samus' full-power Arm Cannon in kill power while the bite is pretty much an afterthought. As for the counter, its base knockback is ridiculously high, on top of being an AoE and launching nearly vertical.. Doesn't matter who you are or what attack you used, if you're around 60% there's a good chance you'll die to it. And heaven help if you hit it with a serious attack, because it can kill from 0% if the hit is hard enough.
Playing Fates made me so glad that he made it in.
Got a good laugh out of the OBVIOUS change between the canon design in game for female Kamui/Corrin and the difference of it in Smash.
Looks like she put some pants on. ahaha.
Not sure why people are so disappointed, he's probably one of if not the most unique sword characters
2:00 It's a claw, not a bite.
Expectations: ¨Damn, he is gonna be broken as hell!!¨
Reality: E-tier.
+Gemm Cirk Except the fact that he does have some tool that will prevent him from being E tier. You can't go by that norm you speak of all the time, just look at sheik and rosalina for example. Corrin will be at least mid tier and not bottom tier because he has good tools with bair having ridiculous range, and he does have good combo starters with dtilt, utilt, f-air, and uair, he may even a have grab combos to. A character with that many options is never a bottom tier character. End of story. Plus he has a zss paralyzer which guarantees that he will have a strong camping game like what zss already has.
+Wesley Miller Yeah, i know, i was just using the joke that everyone uses when every newcomer is announced. He seems very versatile. Although there is something that bugs me about the dragon fang shot. When charged completely it can stun an enemy for a fairly long time, but once doing the shot, the bite follows it and there is a huge gap where Corrin is vulnerable. In other words, if you fail the shot from distance, Corrin is wide open to attacks, and i am just wondering if you will be able to cancel the bite after the shot.
the bite only happens if the enemy is really close to corrin, when he fired it at diddy kong, its end lag was the same as zss parlyzer, so its obviously a good projectile
Wesley Miller But in the first shot to diddy, he didn´t fully charge it.
+Gemm Cirk look later in the video where sakurai talks about the songs, you see corrin fully charge the dragon fang shot and it didn't bite anyone because no one was near corrin and ryu was frozen for like 4 secs, the move is the same as zss neutral b with a hitbox if someone is near Corrin, the move is really good actually.
I wanted Sora from Kingdom Hearts but he looks cool to
REALLY! ANOTHER FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTER! I would have understood if it were Chrom (understood, not agreed with) BUT BETTER CHARACTERS WERE PASSED UP FOR THIS! Banjo Kazooie, Shovel Knight, Wolf! ALL CHARACTERS THAT WOULD MAKE NINTENDO MILLIONS!
AND PUT SOME SHOES ON!
Why Chrom over Corrin? Chrom is literally just a boring sword character. Corrin is half dragon. If anyone wants him over Corrin then they're just biased :/. The only character that I don't care about in your choices is Wolf. Wolf to me is so meh.
>I would have understood if it were Chrom
Awakening was released 2013, a year before Sm4sh was ORIGINALLY launched, and there are already three characters from that title. It's time for Fates' characters to shine. This was a marketing decision to promote Fates, which takes precedence before fan favorites, like it or not.
+Edward Hammond You would rather Chrom instead of a character who turns into a dragon?
I don't think I'll ever understand you.
Banjo would play like duck hunt. Shovel night would play like toon link. Wolf would play like Fox. Corrin is a fucking Dragon. Deal with it.
