Ice Climbers

Chrom: It looks like our Pair Up system is getting popular with soldiers outside our army.

Frederick: In all honesty, milord, these two are better known for their buddy system compared to us. These two are the Ice Climbers, Popo and Nana. When they're not fighting in Super Smash Bros., they can be found scaling mountains and collecting vegetables.

Lissa: I imagine they'll have plenty of time for all of that now…

Robin: These two work pretty well together. They hoist each other up when the other falls, lob shards of ice at their opponents, and pummel their opponents with their mallets. However, if you were to take just one of them out of the equation, the other would practically be worthless.

Lucina: So our goal in this fight is to separate them?

Robin: Exactly. If we defeat Nana, Popo will be left to fend us off on his own, and he'll find that'll be very difficult without his partner. If we were to just defeat Popo first, however, Nana would disappear along with him.

Lissa: One cannot live without the other. It's so tragic yet so romantic! Or, uh, sweet…Are they siblings or lovers? Or just friends?

Robin: The world may never know…

Young Link

Lissa: Hm…No, not too sure about that one…

Chrom: Lissa, what's that list you're laboring over?

Lissa: I was thinking up different variations of Robin and Lucina!

Lucina: Different variations…?

Lissa: I mean, come one! First we have the normal, handsome Link, then we get the cute Toon Link, and now look! There's the young version of the Hero of Time! Why does Link get all of these different incarnations of himself while you guys are stuck as yourselves?

Robin: Uhm, I'd rather stay exactly as I am, honestly...

Lissa: Oh come on, humor my list, will you? Let's see, my first suggestion for you, Robin, is Monkey Robin! You have the brains and magic of a brilliant tactician, but the brute strength and banana cravings of a cute chimp, like Diddy Kong!

Robin: Hard pass.

Lissa: Hmph! Fine. Alright, for you, Lucina, I was thinking Mecha Lucina! We could give you a metal body, laser vision, a propulsion system for great recovery – oh, maybe an arm cannon too!

Chrom: You're not turning my daughter into a robot!

Lucina: Hmm…Maybe I could be outfitted with missiles as well…

Chrom: Oh gods, don't tell me you're actually considering this...

Frederick: Let's return our attention to the battle, shall we?

Robin: Yes, please.

Frederick: You'll find that Young Link isn't too different from Toon Link. He's still just a faster, smaller, lighter normal Link. Aside from his agile nature, he is just a child of the normal Link. Naturally he will not be as experienced and dangerous as his adult form, so this should not be difficult.

Lissa: While you fight, I'll be working out the kinks for Chibi Robin!

Robin: Not in a million years!

Pokémon Trainer

Lissa: Wait a minute! How are you supposed to fight this next challenger if he's hiding in the background?

Frederick: That's the Pokémon Trainer, milday, and he will not be fighting us directly. Instead, he will be using his Pokémon to battle.

Robin: I see. So the Pokémon Trainer acts as the tactician of his team, only he isn't adept in combat like myself.

Chrom: I suppose not every tactician can be as multitalented as you, but I suppose a strategic brain is really all one can ask for in a tactician.

Lucina: Say, isn't that Charizard among the squadron? It was already a formidable foe on its own. Now we have two other Pokemon to deal with.

Fredrick: Those two are Ivysaur, the Seed Pokemon, and Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokemon. These three are actually popular starting Pokémon for new Trainers in the Kanto region. Squirtle is the fastest of the group and can easily rush down an opponent. Ivysaur specializes in wearing down opponents with moves such as Bullet Seed. Charizard, as you know, is a bulky heavyweight fighter capable of taking down fighters who have accumulated high percentages of damage. When one of them gets the Smash Ball, they join together in a powerful attack dubbed Triple Finish.

Chrom: It sounds like they've formed quite the synergy.

Robin: Indeed. I'm impressed by the Pokémon Trainer's resourceful. Thankfully it seems he can only summon one Pokémon at a time, so all we have to do is deplete their numbers one by one.

Lissa: Thoron for Charizard and Squirtle and Arcfire for Ivysaur! Robin's got the elemental advantage down pat! Thankfully Robin isn't weak to fire, torrents of water or razor sharp leaves.

Robin: Lissa, I'm human. I'm weak to all of those things.

Snake

Snake: Otacon, there's this weird guy/woman in a robe here, and for some reason Marth grew his hair out.

Otacon: Tell me you're not so blind that you can't tell that's not Marth, Snake. Those two are Robin and Lucina from the country of Ylisse. They're part of an elite faction of Ylisslian army known as the Shepherds.

Snake: The Shepherds? Do they herd sheep on the side or something?

Otacon: It's just a name, Snake. They may seem like normal sword wielders, and you can expect the same tricks Marth uses from Lucina, but that Robin characters can actually uses tomes to cast powerful magic. You'll have your hands full with that one, but hopefully that arsenal of yours will help you keep up. Unlike you, Robin will run out of ammunition sooner or later, so keep that in mind.

Snake: I've got hand grenades, remote missiles, my trusty grenade launcher and a ton of other handy gadgets, and unlike their magic I'm not gonna run out of these any time soon thanks to the weird rules of this universe. Yeah, I think I'll be fine.

Otacon: Just try not get burned out there, Snake.

-TRANSMISSION ENDS-

Lissa: …Uh, what just happened?

Snake (Redux)

Lissa: Whoa, get a load of this guy! This is a guy who's ready to go war.

Frederick: This solider is codenamed Snake, but some call him Big Boss. His history is rather complex, so I will spare you those details and explain the bare essentials. This solider thrives at blending into the shadows, but since stealth is not the main focus of Smash, Snake brought all of his deadly weapons to blow our comrades to smithereens.

Robin: It's just disgusting…!

Lucina: Robin? What's troubling you?

Robin: I know my tomes wither with use. That's just a given. But you're telling me this guy never runs out of ammunition for his freaking grenade launcher?! Is the future really that forgiving in terms of weapon use?!

Chrom: War certainly has changed…

Frederick: Deep breaths, Robin. There's no use throwing a tantrum over something you can't control.

Robin: *sigh* I know, you're right. Lucina, be mindful of his grenades and the C4 he places on the ground. It's a bomb he can detonate from any location, so make you don't step on it. Since you'll have to go toe to toe with him, be wary of his close combat skills he's dubbed "CQC."

Wolf

Chrom: Oh great, Star Wolf…

Frederick: Star Wolf is a mercenary team that once fought under the ruthless Andross, but since their defeat by the hand of Star Fox they wormed their way into the Sargasso Space Zone, where you will never find a greater hive of scum and villainy.

Lucina: Haven't I heard that line somewhere before?

Robin: This is their leader, Wolf O'Donnell. As you can tell by his stance, his method of attack is a bit more feral in comparison to Fox or Falco. Those claws of his cut deep, and his moves are a lot trickier than Fox's.

Vaike: Wolf is pretty much the polar opposite of Fox, for the most part. Still, they both have equally uncreative names.

Lissa: Well "Falco" isn't much better. He's just "falcon" with the "n".

Robin: Every country has names that sound strange to someone of a foreign tongue. The same goes for different universes. I'm sure names like "Lissa" and "Vaike" sound weird to them.

Vaike: Hah, my name? Weird? You mean downright amazing! I bet they're crying in jealousy over how awesome my name is! "Waaah, why did my parents name me after my own species?! I wanna have a cool name like Vaike!"

Chrom: Is this really what you're choosing to talk about? Take this more seriously, Vaike! We're in the presence of a ruthless mercenary! With your knowledge of the Lylat System, you should know not to treat him lightly.

Vaike: Sheesh, it was just a joke. You sound like the president of his fan club or something…

Frederick: But he is right. We should cut the chatter and rout the enemy.

Lucina: Understood.

Lucas

Robin: Ah, this must be Lucas. He has the type of PSI abilities as Ness but with slightly different properties. This battle shouldn't be too far a cry from our one with Ness.

Lucina: I really empathize with the hardships Lucas went through. Lucas had to deal with the loss of his mother and brother. Both Mother and Father were taken from me, and from then on I had to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders. We've both been through a lot.

Chrom: I should have never allowed myself to put you through so much turmoil. I said it once and I'll say it again: you deserved more, Lucina.

Lucina: Just being with you again, Father, has made all those lonely nights in the future intro trifle memories.

Chrom: Those lonely nights should have never come to be…

Robin: Hey, don't kick yourself over something you had no control of. What matters is we managed to carve a bright future ahead of us. One where your family can live in peace.

Lucina: Indeed. That's all I ever wanted.

Lissa: …

Frederick: Are you alright, milady? You've kept that stern face for a while now. Did something from their conversation strike a chord in you?

Lissa: No, I'm keeping a close eye on that snake of Lucas's. I'm not letting it get anywhere near me. Never again.

Robin: My prank had a bit more of an effect than I realized…

Pichu

Frederick: This is Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon. "It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled." That's what the Pokedex has to say.

Lissa: This is the pre-evolved form of Pikachu, right? It's basically just a baby right now. That's even worse than attacking a cute Pikachu!

Robin: It's especially cruel when you realize that Pichu has to shock itself in order to use its electricity powers on others.

Lucina: So it has to hurt itself in order to fight? How horrible…

Chrom: Who would let such a feeble creature into such a grueling competition like Smash?

Robin: No matter the reason for its inclusion, a fight is a fight. It's basically just a weaker Pikachu, Lucina. We shouldn't have too many problems.

Lucina: O-Okay…Forgive us, Pichu, but you did pick a fight with us…

Roy

Frederick: Ah, yet another familiar face!

Lissa: Wait, should I know this guy?

Robin: How can you not know about Roy? He was the son of Eliwood and the ruler of Pherae of Lycia. Didn't you learn about him?

Lissa: I maaaaaaaaaay have fallen asleep during that one lecture.

Chrom: Did you also fall asleep when we met him in the Outrealms.

Lissa: Hey, I can't remember every face we see in the Outrealms!

Frederick: In combat, a warrior's history is of little importance. It's best we focus on his moves. Much like Lucina, Roy's moveset is similar to Marth's except for one key factor: the way he distributes power in his blade, the Sword of Seals. Instead of the tip, you must be weary of the center of Roy's blade. Most of his deadly attacks will come from this area. His counter also causes severe knockback, so don't let him predict your movements.

Lucina: I must admit, I did not expect to see so many fighters from our universe in Smash Bros..

Chrom: Our world does have its fair share of champions, that much is clear, and I assume more brave champions will eventually rise to carry on the legacy of the Fire Emblem.

Robin: You must be proud to be part of that legacy, Chrom.

Chrom: Me? You flatter me. It was Lucina who took the title of Ylisse's champion, not I. She was the one that was invited to be a fighter in this tourney.

Robin: Hmm, but it was you who used the power of the Fire Emblem to vanquish Grima. I'd say you both do its legacy proud.

Lucina: This question is, does Roy?

Chrom: We'll just have to find out! Shepherds, to arms!

All: Roger!


A/N: That's all the fighters! Thank you so much for reading!
