Social "For my Father" - Lucina Social Thread

[Moydow]

We got some new thread prefixes everyone! Everything looks so organized <3

I like the shiny red "Important" one
inb4 it becomes 10x more likely to be completely ignored

Finally managed to get a Lucina amiibo on ebay for a somewhat reasonable price.

By reasonable price, I mean for about 3 times the amount, but hey it's better than the $60+ deals you usually get. Success!

 

[Smoople]

That's pretty a good deal. I'm not that into amiibos but I've been considering picking up a Lucina one. The only amiibo I really care about getting is Lucas when he comes out.

I'm sure that would also be a very difficult find if you are not able to purchase/pre-order at their time of posting.

I've looked into finding the amiibos on eBay but most of them are bids and I'll be nervous to bid because what if I don't get the amiibo and someone else does D:

Jaja, I see what you mean. It's part of the experience though don't worry about it. The first few times I bid on old games I lost them, but after a while you get the hang of it. Of course, you must be sure you want them and stick to the price you want to pay for them and not go over that. If you lost it because someone bid more, don't worry about it and on to the next listing.

I just finished a Marth vs Lucina with a buddy (I was Lucina). The highlight of our most recent match was when both of us caught the other running their hand through their hair in unintentional perfect synchronization with their respective character after a KO at Castle Siege. It was accidentally incredible.

I've also been told that you have to pay close attention to the time when the bid closes and that you have to literally bid in the last 5 minutes or so.
If you do bid but lose, do you still have to pay or...?
I saw a Robin amiibo on eBay that was 2 dollars but I think the bid ended already.

This sounds beautiful.

Nope if you lose the bid you don't have to pay. And yes, pay close attention to the time the bid closes.

The Lucina amiibo page on Amazon recently started saying "currently unavailable", I'm becoming mildly concerned about my chances of getting myself some Robin and Lucina amiibos...

 

[SSJHero]

I am wondering if this thread is appropriate for talking about strings/etc?

Yes, of course.

 

[Buffoon]

Please define "strings and etc" for the layman.

 

[SSJHero]

I would not be able to elaborate.

But regarding the short hop into double fair not being a thing, perhaps the second fair could be side b?

 

[Reckless4Christ]

Yes, Lucina can SH fair and DB before she lands. The DB usually isn't guaranteed though.

 

[FooltheFlames]

A funny video for all you Lucina lovers~<3

Found this over on the Robin social Board
Get it? Becuz Laura Bailey also did the voice for the main character in Saint's Row: The Third

 

[Tacticulbacon]

This thread needs more fanart.

Spoiler

And that's how I got into Lucina.

 

[SSJHero]

I just saw that video before coming to this thread. It was hilarious. Especially the Robin bit at the end. xD

 

[Macchiato]

All they need to do is fix her Nair. Either make it do really high damage or fix the landing lag. Why not both.

You devilish genius.

Yes.

 

[Atrabilious]

Edit:Nevermind.

 

[Smoople]

Less landing lag on all her aerials while they're at it. :3

 

[Reckless4Christ]

Or make Falchion actual size and not fun size

 

[Lichi]

Wild suggestion time? Make her a character with a moveset of her own.

News on IF

 

[Locuan]

I want that game! Also, it's called IF? What does it stand for?

It doesn't stand for anything as far as I know.

 

[Lichi]

Now IF only the amiibos wouldn't be so scarce and have the same price tag as figmas, which are infinitely better.

 

[RosalinaSGS]

If is quite literally "if", as in "What if?" I think it's to emphasise the importance of choices in this game, in contrast to the relatively unimportance they were given in previous games.

Wild suggestion time? Make her a character with a moveset of her own.

But how? She even uses the same weapon as Marth, and probably uses some ancient techniques she learnt from her father, who learnt it from his father..... who learnt them from Marth. Changing her moveset would completely ruin any remaining continuity Smash has.
But here's an idea, how about we give her a projectile! Or even better, a reflector/ absorber/ projectile/ counter/ pocket all in one!!!

 

[Lichi]

I don't know about fire emblem lore, but the sword marth uses in smash is not lucinas falchion. Lucina wields a broader, heavier sword, and therefore should have a less fancy style and harder hitting moves. Something in between Marth and Ike would be nice.
And even if lorewise they should be identical, gameplay wise this is a stupid idea.

 

[Moydow]

They're the same sword, but separated by a few thousand years, so the appearance is different. Though I agree that a lot more could have been done to make her less clone-like.

 

[Lichi]

So the sword has been reforged, therefore it is another type of sword. Kthxbb.

 

[RosalinaSGS]

Since we're on the topic, does anyone know why Marth's sword has a tipper? i.e. What do you think first inspired the developers to give his sword that property?

 

[Buffoon]

You have to be strategic in Fire Emblem; thus, you have to be strategic with the tip of Falchion.

Yes, because fighting styles wouldn't change at all over 2000 years. Especially when taught from one generation of fighters to the next with each undoubtably making minor changes to fit their own needs.

 

[IceAnt573]

Okay...the ancient technique thing is just grasping at straws. Also, Lucina fights like Chrom and both are shown to have...a slightly less refine style of swordplay than Marth. Marth is basically a stabber and a fencer. Lucina/Chrom is a mix of stabs and slashes (in comparison Ike is pure slashes). Also, she promotes into a class that uses lances. That's more "official" material to go off of than Marth (who never got a promotion in his games), Roy (who goes from swordlocked unit to swordlocked unit) and Ike in Path of Radiance AND Radiant Dawn where he couldn't get axes despite having the class of Hero until he became a Vanguard.

Yeah, that's true. I take back what I said before.
