Vote for Ayra from FE4 in Smashbros.com Fighter Ballot

The Smashbros.com fighter ballot has been going on since April 2015. It ends sometime in October 2015. I have voted for Ayra (known in Japan as Ira) from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War to appear as an unlockable DLC fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

Ayra is most Fire Emblem fans' waifu, and would represent the Myrmidon/Swordmaster, which has unique moveset options, introduced from game to game. Another reason is that I want Fire Emblem to have a female representative with a unique moveset.

Ayra would be an unlockable DLC fighter, included in the same package as Sigurd. In her original game, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, she was considerably difficult for Sigurd to recruit. The same could be said in Super Smash Bros. To unlock her, you would have to beat Classic mode as Sigurd at Intensity 8.0 or higher 16 times (16 times is inspired by the original game). You'll also get the "Verdane" stage, which is similar to Castle Siege. The stage will give you a warp around tour of the Kingdom of Verdane, the southernmost country of Jugdral. The Omega form of the stage would be set atop a tower in Genoa Castle. However, this stage will also be unlockable. The unlock battle against Ayra will take place on this stage. The stage will also occur in All-Star mode even before you unlock it. When you download this package, it will tell you the instructions on how to unlock Ayra. To unlock the Verdane stage, you must fight 10 battles as Ayra.

The newcomer video would show that Ayra is rescued from the Belhalla Incident in Grannvale, Jugdral, spearheaded by Lord Arvis. Sigurd is shown to be incinerated by Fala's Valflame tome. When a mage was about to use Meteor tome to decimate Ayra, Master Hand steps in saves her, taking her to the Smash Bros. battlefield. The newcomer video has a tagline, "Ayra is last in line to the battle." It also shows Ayra saying in Japanese, "Why not me?!". In the Boxing Ring stage, her title will be "Jugdrali Bloodbather."

Ayra's sword, which is sort of a Japanese sword, Her sword is a slightly longer than Marth's sword. She specializes in chaining combos. Her side-smash is a two-hit move. Her up-smash is a four-hit move. Her down-smash is a four-hit move.

If Ayra were to make it as a fighter, I predict that she would outshine Roy from Fire Emblem: Binding Blade. The Ayra amiibo would be the final amiibo to be compatible with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The Ayra amiibo would be an Amazon exclusive, so that it would not fall into the scalpers' hands.

The DLC package would include Ayra as a fighter, a Sigurd Mii Fighter costume, and Seliph Mii Fighter costume, trophies of Sigurd, Deirdre, Arvis, Quan, Ethlyn, Seliph, Leif, Altena, Shanan, Ulster, Larcei, Julia, and Julius; a photorealistic stage based on Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War called "Verdane", and 16 song arrangements from the game. The stage would only be available after Sigurd has beaten Classic mode at Intensity 8.0 once, and the stage would start off with only one available track. One track will be unlocked each time you beat Classic mode at Intensity 8.0 as Sigurd.

The song arrangements would be:

1. Birth of a Holy Knight - Fire Emblem: Geneaalogy of the Holy War - arranged by Yuka Tsujiyoko
2. Maiden of the Spirit Forest - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Kumi Tanioka
3. Disturbance in Agustria - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Michiru Yamane
4. Lion King Eldigan - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Yuzo Koshiro
5. Door of Fate - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Yuka Tsujiyoko
6. Light Inheritors - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Masashi Hamauzu
7. Across the Desert - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Michiru Yamane
8. Thracia's Dragon Knights - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Naoshi Mitsuda
9. Side Battle - borrowed from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance 
10. Final Holy War - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - arranged by Hirokazu Ando
11. Base - Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - arranged by Yuka Tsujiyoko
12. Charge A - Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - arranged by Yuka Tsujiyoko
13. Battle Medley - Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - arranged by Yuka Tsujiyoko

Ayra's default costume is based on the supplied picture below, which is what her in-game portrait is based on, and based on Fire emblem Trading Card Game series 3. Her second costume is based on the official artwork of her original game and Fire Emblem Trading Card Game series 2. Her third costume is based on Fire Emblem Trading Card Game series 1. Her fourth costume would be based on her sprite as a Myrmidon in the original game. Her fifth costume would be based her sprite as a Swordmaster in the original game. Her sixth costume is based on an alternate outfit that appeared in the Oosawa Mitsuki manga and Gekka Ginyu manga. Her seventh costume would be based on the Fire Emblem Awakening design of the Myrmidon outfit. Her eighth costume is based on the Fire Emblem Awakening design of the Swordmaster outfit, specifically this image. The ninth and sixteenth are alternate characters, who are Mareeta from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Fir from Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, Karla from Fire Emblem (Rekka no Ken), Marisa from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Mia from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Athena from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and Say'ri from Fire Emblem Awakening,

Ayra's default design in Smash Bros. would be based on this:

I will not play Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl will go on sale tomorrow in North America, where I live. It was developed by Sora Ltd. and published by Nintendo. It has been the most anticipated next generation game of all time among established Nintendo fans.

However, I have decided to reject the game for the following reasons:

• Lack of female newcomers
• Lyndis as an Assist Trophy
• Little Mac as an Assist Trophy
• Isaac as an Assist Trophy
• Lack of representation of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu
• Lack of downloadable content feature
• Not enough Fire Emblem characters in the playable roster
• Overall bad roster

I was a big fan of the Super Smash Bros. series. Super Smash Bros. Melee was my favorite GameCube game. Marth's appearance in the game led me to become a fan of the Fire Emblem series, which happened to become my favorite Nintendo game series. The character I most wanted was my favorite Nintendo character, Ayra from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. I wanted Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu to be represented in the game, but unfortunately, it did not happen.

My decision to reject Super Smash Bros. Brawl is controversial. I have been criticized for it.

Lyndis was announced as an Assist Trophy on September 11, 2007, six years after 9/11. That is the fundamental reason why I will not play Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Little Mac was announced as an Assist Trophy on October 18, 2007.

Therefore, my campaign for Super Smash Bros. 4 has begun. It should be called Super Smash Bros. Fracas. Lyndis, Little Mac, Isaac, Samurai Goroh, Waluigi, Saki Amamiya, and Gray Fox have been nominated in Super Smash Bros. 4 as playable characters. Super Smash Bros. 4 will be my comeback Smash Bros. game.

Update:

For the GameFAQs poll of March 9, 2008, entitled "Got SSBB?", there are five choices:

1. Yes, I had a pre-order waiting for me.
2. Yes, I got it off the shelf.
3. No, I'll buy it later this week.
4. No, I haven't decided whether or not to buy it.
5. No, I'll never buy it.

26.65% of participants voted for option no. 1. 7.44% voted for option no. 2. 18.72% voted for option no. 3. 17.82% voted for option no. 4. 29.37%, including me, voted for option no. 5.

I have been criticized for my decision to reject Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They called me names and use profanity against me.

One quote at this thread at Gamespot.com:

Dude your nuts. I bet your one of those people who:Want the game to be called
super smash sisters.Want all the male characters out.Wanted Krystal (meh)
and Midna (GOD OH GOD NO!)

No, none of the claims above are true with me, except that I wanted Krystal. Marth and Sigurd are required in order to have Ayra. We cannot have Krystal in the roster without Fox.

I will campaign for the following characters to appear in Super Smash Bros. 4 as playable characters (in rank order, starting from most wanted):

1. Ayra (from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu)
2. Lyndis (from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken) - appeared in Brawl as an Assist Trophy
3. Sigurd (from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu)
4. Krystal (from Star Fox Adventures) - appeared in Brawl as a regular trophy
5. Little Mac (from Punch-Out!) - appeared in Brawl as an Assist Trophy
6. Jody Summer (from F-Zero X)
7. Samurai Goroh (from F-Zero) - appeared in Brawl as an Assist Trophy
8. Black Shadow (from F-Zero X)
9. Leon (from Star Fox 64)
10. Waluigi (from Mario Tennis) - appeared in Brawl as an Assist Trophy
11. Takamaru (Nazo no Murasamejou)
12. Isaac (Golden Sun) - appeared in Brawl as an Assist Trophy
13. Saki Amamiya (from Sin and Punishment) - appeared in Brawl as an Assist Trophy
14. King K. Rool (from Donkey Kong Country)
15. Geno (from Super Mario RPG)
16. Mallow (from Super Mario RPG)

For the voice acting, Aleisia Glidewell or her Japanese counterpart Aya Hara will reprise her role as the voice of Krystal in Brawl. Aya Hara would act out the motion capture. Whoever voiced Lyndis in Brawl will reprise the role in Super Smash Bros. 4. I suggest that Suzuka Ohgo of Memoirs of a Geisha fame be the voice of Ayra. Super Smash Bros. 4 should be released in Japan on January 31, 2018.

Luigi confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Luigi from the Mario series has been confirmed to return for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is known as the second fiddle and later as "everyone's favorite man in green." He was once my favorite Nintendo character from the NES days up until the GameCube days, when Marth came to America via Super Smash Bros. Melee and overtook him. Marth later passed the throne of my favorite Nintendo character to the obscure female character called Ayra from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. Therefore, in my opinion, the well-known Luigi would represent the old days of my life (1979-2003) and the obscure Ayra would represent the new days of my life (2004-present).

To unlock Luigi in the original Smash Bros., you must beat the Target practice mode with each of the initial characters, and you must face him in a match and beat him after satisfying the aforementioned condition. To unlock him in Super Smash Bros. Melee, you must beat the first stage of Adventure Mode with a 2 in the seconds digit (e.g. 2:42:86). Afterwards, you will see Luigi kick his older brother Mario away and so he can fight you with Peach by his side. You must defeat both of them, and then finish Adventure mode. Another way to unlock Luigi in Melee is to play 800 Versus mode (or Melee mode) matches. Again, you must face him in a match and beat him after satisfying either of the aforementioned conditions. To unlock Luigi in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you must beat Classic Mode with no continues, or play 22 matches of Brawl mode, or have him join you in The Subspace Emissary. With the except of the last method, you must face him in a match and beat him after satisfying either of the aforementioned conditions.

Luigi's Final Smash is called "Negative Zone." When he unleashes his Final Smash, funky world music fades in and the close area is enclosed in the Negative Zone. Opponents who step into the Negative Zone are plagued by random sorts of negative effects, such as reduced attack power, sudden death, increased likelihood of slipping, reduced defense, the Lip's Stick effect, dizziness, reckless taunting, sudden fatigue, deceleration, etc. If you fall asleep or get dizzy in the Negative Zone, you are doomed to suffer Luigi's Fire Jump Punch.

Marth confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Marth, the main character of the first Fire Emblem game and Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo, has been confirmed to return for the upcoming Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is the character who started my favorite Nintendo franchise. His appearance has been graphically updated. He happened to be my favorite character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. That led me to be a Fire Emblem fan. He was the catalyst that opened the door for Ayra from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu to overtake Mario's younger brother Luigi as my favorite Nintendo character. Brawl Marth is slightly taller and stronger than Melee Marth. Marth appeared in the opening cinematic for Brawl. His Final Smash is called "Critical Hit."

To unlock Marth in Super Smash Bros. Melee, you must beat Classic mode with each of the starter characters or play a Versus match with each of the starter characters at least once. To unlock him in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you must either play 10 matches of Brawl mode, or finish Classic Mode using Ike, or have him join your party in The Subspace Emissary. With the exception of the last aforementioned method, you must face him in a match and beat him after satisfying the aforementioned conditions to unlock him.
