Responses: OrionGold - Yes, but they will be saved for last.

Donkey Kong

Lissa: You know, outside of that bright red tie, Donkey Kong isn't all that different from your average lumbering gorilla, is he?

Robin: I wouldn't say that. He's perhaps slightly more competent than most primates, but that tie does seem to be his only distinguishing physical trait…

Chrom: Well, if his tie ever came off, I suppose he could prove his identity with his exceptional barrel throwing skills.

Frederick: Donkey Kong's unique talents aside, he still has the superhuman strength of a gorilla. His punches will leave quite a mark, his palms pounding against the floor will cause the very ground to shake, and he can carry you off the ground like you were an infant. Suffice it to say this fighter's arms are as potent as any weapon.

Lucina: Don't worry, Falchion can match the power of any giant gorilla!

Chrom: I…don't think that battle cry exactly does the divine power of Falchion justice, but I suppose it works for the moment…

Diddy Kong

Lissa: So what signature moves set Diddy apart from other primates aside from that trademark cap and shirt?

Robin: Well…I hear he plays a mean guitar riff…

Frederick: There's also his famous Peanut Popgun. This rather rustic looking gun shoots deadly peanuts as projectiles. The potency of these peanuts will increase as Diddy Kong charges his gun. If he charges too long, it will quite literally blow up in his face.

Lucina: I never thought I'd hear a peanut be described as "deadly…"

Robin: At intense velocities, just about anything can be turned into a deadly projectile. If anything, peanuts are a pretty clever substitute for bullets. Sometimes after hitting an opponent, the peanut will leave behind a tasty snack Diddy can use to restore his health.

Lucina: Well, at least we don't have to deal with actual guns or bullets. I've heard stories about those in other realms…They sound like horrifying weapons.

Robin: True, although I'd say my lightning bolts can be equally as horrifying. Allow me to demonstrate!

Link

Chrom: Imagine if we had a swordsman of Link's caliber in the Shepherds. He would be an invaluable asset to us.

Lissa: I dunno, I think Link works fine solo. He's his own one-man army. I mean, he's got the legendary Master Sword, that indestructible shield that blocks projectiles, his clawshot, a bow, that boomerang that draws in his enemies, all of those bombs…This guy really is a jack of all trades!

Robin: You gotta wonder where he keeps it all.

Lucina: Link has managed to save Hyrule countless times, but certainly not without help from others along his journeys. I don't think any one man can accomplish such feats alone.

Chrom: I completely agree.

Frederick: Well, we can worry about the possibility of recruiting Link later. For now we have a battle to focus on.

Robin: Right. Link is adept at fending us off at long range and he can hold his own in close combat. Thankfully, I can do the same.

Zelda

Chrom: It appears we're in the presence of Princess Zelda of Hyrule. While Peach is normally docile and helpless in Mario's crusades, Zelda is more fiery and take charge. In Link's most famous adventure she assists the Hero of Time from the shadows. It's refreshing to see a proactive princess that can hold her own.

Robin: Ha, ha! Listen to you! You're starting to sound like Flavia.

Lissa: And whaddya mean "refreshing?" Are you implying that I don't pull my own weight?

Lucina: And what of me, Father? Do you think of me as some indolent layabout? I had thought I was giving it my all, I hope I haven't been shirking responsibility…

Chrom: O-Oh, no, no! Lucina, your have unshakable determination and you are a swordswoman par excellence. I'm sorry if I implied otherwise.

Lissa: Hey, how come I don't get an apology?!

Robin: Back on the topic of Zelda, I must say I am impressed with her control over her magical abilities. She doesn't even require the use of a tome! It'd be nice to not have to worry about using a tome as a conduit for my magic.

Lucina: You say that, Robin, but you've mastered mystical techniques outside of using tomes, correct? After all, you did float down onto our battle with Captain Falcon in rather dramatic display.

Lissa: Oh yeah, I remember that! And Robin also traps his/her enemies with the binding magic of his/hers. How come you never pulled any of those fancy tricks during our wars, huh?

Robin: If I were to float around like some sort of pegasus on the battlefield I would find myself riddled with arrows from enemy archers. As for my binding magic, it's nothing more than a flashy way of grabbing enemies. Trust me, flinging your enemies around in a battlefield is not as helpful as it is in Smash; it takes a lot more concentration than you realize. There is a crowd watching here, isn't there? Why not give them a show?

Lissa: Hmm, I dunno…

Robin: Anyway, we should be wary of her Phantoms. She can conjure these using dark magic and they serve as both offensive and defensive measures. If we manage to damage these Phantoms, she won't be able to summon them for quite some time.

Frederick: Din's Fire will also do immense damage if you are caught in the core of the blast. Be vigilant of this.

Sheik

Inigo: Can you believe that some people think Sheik is a man? I for one know a true woman when I see one!

Lucina: I'm not sure we have any conclusive evidence on Sheik's gender.

Inigo: Do you need any more proof than a gentleman's intuition?

Lucina: I would like an actual, official statement, yes. Sheik is quite androgynous, so gender is hard to pinpoint. Although I'm no different I suppose. I was able to conceal my identity and gender with little effort, just like Sheik.

Inigo: Yeah, apparently without that beautiful flowing hair of yours passing as a guy was a cinch for you. I bet it has something to do with that flat-ah!

Lucina: Please, finish that thought, Inigo. That flat what?

Inigo: N-Nothing! It doesn't matter, really! C-Could, uh...could you stop pointing Falchion at me…?

Robin: *clears throat* Inigo's abysmal manners aside, Sheik is quite a nimble and quick opponent. We should be careful not to let Sheik catch us off guard. Be mindful of her grenades dragging you in and her Bouncing Fish move.

Ganondorf

Lissa: You know, Ganondorf kind of looks like Robin's father if he were a lot buffer.

Robin: That's an…interesting connection. I suppose both my father and Ganondorf are adept at using the dark arts. Although Ganondorf is probably more a threat than my craven of a father ever was. Not that…that's a good thing.

Chrom: Hyrule has fallen before him on numerous occasions. Every time he is defeated, he is eventually reincarnated and another hero must rise to defeat him. It's a vicious cycle of despair, but the hope the hero clad in green brings always shines through.

Lissa: I get how there are multiple Ganons out there, but why are there also so many Links and Zeldas in Hyrule? Doesn't anyone find that weird?

Lucina: Perhaps there are multiple Hyrules as well? All of Link's adventures seem too inconsistent to be connected.

Frederick: So you would think, but evidence has risen that there is but one Hyrule where all of Link's adventures take place. Hyrule's timeline is a bit hard to follow, I must admit. Best not to think about it too hard...

Robin: Ganondorf's moves are very similar to Captain Falcon's, but slower and more powerful. We should use this sluggish movement to our advantage.

Lissa: You would think the King of Evil would use more of his dark magic rather than using the same moves as a flashy bounty hunter…

Toon Link

Lissa: Link was already cute before, but now he's just insanely adorable! Look at those cute little cat eyes!

Frederick: This incarnation of Link has earned the title of "Toon Link" because of his rather animated appearance. He's similar to the more iconic Link in terms of abilities, but Toon Link is faster and lighter than him.

Chrom: I hear instead of riding Epona, you're more likely to find this Link sailing or conducting a train.

Robin: Riding a train everywhere doesn't exactly scream "gallant knight," certainly...

Lissa: These warriors from other realms have so much amazing technology. Riding around in metal carts are high speeds to your destination while relaxing in plush seats…*sigh* It sounds like a dream.

Frederick: If you ask me, a faithful horse suits a traveling solider just fine.

Lucina: This Link may be younger in appearance, but he still brandishes the Master Sword with confidence and ferocity. Let's be careful.

Chrom: It's a shame the Master Sword looks a lot like a small knife in this form…

A/N: Don't expect every chapter to be this long. I just didn't want to have this chapter be only two characters, so I continued onto LoZ. Also, if it seems like I skipped Mr. Game & Watch, don't worry, he'll be analyzed later. Stay tuned!
