Elmas the showoff series#

This situation is very similar to Robin and Chrom from Fire Emblem Awakening where it is very much Chrom’s story that Robin is just a part of. She is actually the team’s leader and you even get to hear her internal monologue at points which make her feel like the main protagonist. Xenoblade Chronicles X feels like Elma’s story that Cross just happens to be a part of.

Lin and Elma are the other main characters but of the two Elma is definitely the more popular character. Unlike other avatar’s in Smash like Robin and Villager, Cross does not have their own personality and this makes him a hard character to bring over to Smash as he may come off as uninteresting. Cross is the player character and cannot be removed but they are an avatar with very little personality. These characters are Lin, Cross and Elma.

Many of them are optional but there are 3 characters that you always have to use in every story mission. Xenoblade Chronicles X has more playable characters than the original Xenoblade game. So in today’s Dream Smashers I give you Elma, humanity’s sharpest BLADE!Įlma is both the first and last character you see in the game (not including post-game content). That character was Elma and while she unfortunately missed out this time that does not mean her chances are completely gone for appearing in the Super Smash Bros franchise in the future. Xenoblade Chronicles X launched for the west a week before the final Smash DLC was revealed and so many people cite that game as one that both deserves the promotion more and could have easily had a new, unique, character added. Fire Emblem Fates was lucky in the placement of its launch but it wasn’t the only Nintendo game to be so close to the release of DLC. Both of those games have issues however, with Splatoon being out for 9 months worldwide before this DLC launched and with metroid not being out for another 5-6 months after the DLC.

Elmas the showoff series#

Fire Emblem is not exactly a minor series for Nintendo and they believed that this promotion would be better suited to a new IP like Splatoon or even to promote a more unpopular game like Metroid Prime Federation Force. This upset a lot of people but one specific reason was that they believed Fire Emblem Fates did not need the promotion. According to Sakurai: Corrin was chosen thanks to Fire Emblem Fates being a new game and so the character can act as an advertisement to help promote the game. A lot of people were really upset over Corrin’s inclusion as a the only first-party newcomer to be added as DLC in super Smash Bros for Wii U & 3DS.
