On the surface, Sigurd seems like yet another Marth clone, but here's the twist...he's a Marth semi-clone with a unique gimmick that I'll discuss later.

That's right, Sigurd can mount his horse in Smash, not unlike mounted units in the series...kind of. The mounting system was intended to be a full system in FE4, but because of space reasons, it was limited to just Seliph. In any case, I wanted to bring to Smash via Sigurd for the sake of making him stand out among his fellow FE Lords.
Normal Attacks
Jab / Forward+A: Sigurd thrusts forward with his lance (9%, small knockback)
Back+A: Sigurd swings Tyrfing behind himself in a downward arc (8%, small knockback)
Up+A: Sigurd twirls his lance above his head (13%, OK knockback)

Aerial Attacks
Air+A: a downward, wide crescent slash with large coverage (14% with a meteor effect, OK knockback)

Down+A: Sigurd thrusts his lance diagonally downward in front of himself (17%, medium knockback), then performs a thrust behind himself (17%, medium knockback)
Special Moves
B : Javelin Toss; Sigurd tosses a lance forward (11%, OK knockback). The angle can be slightly altered with the control stick.
B + ← → : Headlong Rush; Sigurd assumes a readying stance and twirls his lance before performing a powerful thrust while his horse quickly gallops forward (20%, medium knockback)
B + ↑ : Momentum; Sigurd jumps off of his horse and rises into the air without going into freefall. His horse immediately disappears if it falls offscreen.
B + ↓ : Dismount; Sigurd dismounts his horse and sends it back to where it came from via Warp.
Sigurd can also be knocked off of the horse if he sustains a powerful enough attack, and the horse itself will disappear if it sustains enough damage. In addition, while on horseback, Sigurd cannot crouch, grab and throw, use items, grab ledges, or use his double jump, down tilt, edge attack, get-up attack, or most of his aerials.

Final Smash: Override
Based off the Engage Attack from Fire Emblem: Engage, Sigurd points Tyrfing forward, which summons a bolt of lightning that hits multiple opponents (10%). If it connects, Sigurd gets onto his horse and pierces forward with his lance (45%, devastating knockback). This can be used regardless of whether Sigurd is on-foot or on horseback.
