Yeah but they all have unique fighting styles in comic books. In FE all you have is sword, axe, lance, bow, anima, dark, light and mamkutes who use dragonstones. And there’s only so many classes to choose from as well, and then you have to consider that a lot of the attack animations are recycled between games making it hard for characters to have unique fighting styles.
The only way I could see this done is if there were the Lords, and then the most recognizable characters for each class. So for example Karel would represent the SM class and Oswin would represent general.
You forgot laguz, which has like 8 different sub species, paladins, wyvern riders, healers, etc. Theres also the different units that use the same weapon but fight differently (Armored Units with a Lance vs Halberdier)
Just because 2 people use the same weapon doesnt mean they fight the same. Mitsirugi and Yoshimitsu both use a katana, but how could you say they’re clones?
And like you said, every Lord is unique.
Plus, if the game was good, 20~ characters would be fine. Thats definitly do-able without getting at all stale in the FE universe. In fact, archetypes would be left out that way (and it’d still work)
I disagree. I would have Guy as the SM class and Wallace as the general since he was the first guy with the knight crest and to use it on the spot. I don’t think this is gonna work out. Oh yeah what about the mounted classes like wyvern riders and Calvary, how are they gonna work?
Karel is easily the most recognizable SM in the FE series due to him being in both FE6 as a prepromote who was the Gotoh of that game with the highest growths of any character in the series, and he was also in the prequel where while not as good as he was in FE6, he was a decent replacement if Guy got killed.
Oswin would be in simply because he is the best general in any FE game period.
Reading this topic, I noticed something off-putting…
Even with the surge in popularity, are fighting games STILL such a niche concept that no other companies so far are wanting to make one?! Soo many random good ideas floating around, all it would take is for one (competent) company to go balls deep and make something potentially AWESOME. How I miss the days, shortly after MK1 and 2 were released, it seemed every other U.S. and overseas developer were trying to make SOME kind of fighting game (and funny how the PC wound up getting the most off-the-wall ones).
I was just giving an example of what would happen if a real fire emblem game was made. One person wants this character to represent the class for the game, another person wants the latter, next thing you know shit goes down. I honestly think Karel can beat Guy in a duel anytime and anywhere and i didn’t like how i was forced to use knight crest so early on Wallace when i could just use it on Oswin once he gets to 20 to max stats out.
I would love this. The only problem is paring the roster down to something manageable. Teemo would have to be at least high tier for me to enjoy it. There’s no point in having him around if he can’t make people rage.
I think that an F-Zero fighting game would be really cool. It’s full of colorful characters with ridiculous backstories and Falcon punches. It doesn’t look like they’re even going to make an F-Zero racing game any time soon though… I’d also like to see a Sega vs. Nintendo fighter. Everybody’s sick of watching Sonic and Mario footrace each other, and Brawl was disappointing. Plus I want to Kirby Shadow to death.
Killer7 would probably have something to whip into a fighting game. Maybe if Grasshopper and Clover (God Hand) compared notes in some alternate universe where they still worked for Capcom.

A cheesy, great song. Like most of the chars in this game.
