I picked Lucina because she's in one of the most popular games in the series (Awakening) and the only one in the tournament who's playable in Smash Bros. Higher popularity/exposure, higher chance of winning. It also doesn't hurt that she's got the support of tons of otakus who view her as their waifu.

Way to pick a top tier, Goobysacue
Lucy has it free, yeah. I actually think it would have been fairly close if she was left out of it.

XombieMike If only, man. If only... I'd actually love to see these Castlevania characters in a Fire Emblem-style game. I also love that Shanoa is 4-Stars and Soma is the one 5-Star draw.

XombieMike If only, man. If only... I'd actually love to see these Castlevania characters in a Fire Emblem-style game. I also love that Shanoa is 4-Stars and Soma is the one 5-Star draw. imo, 5-star Charlotte. 4-star Al.
Here's a funny story...so a friend of mine knows I'm a big Castlevania fan (how could he not lol), and he has a storied history of unintentionally trolling me. He actually stopped wearing a Lords of Shadow shirt because I would say something snarky about it every time I saw him haha, but he just thought it was cool-looking. He thought that "Vampire Killer" was "Vampire Hunter", earnestly, when trying to talk about music...
So I showed my friends this picture and he says, recognizing it as Castlevania and wanting to share in my enjoyment, "Hey, one of those guys looks like a Belmont"...and the beautiful thing about it to me is that it just so happens no one in that picture is a Belmont LOL

...I am a REALLY happy Fire Emblem fan [with an Elibe bias] this morning.  Not only did I manage to Summon a 5-Star Eirika... I also managed to acquire the service of Ursula, on my first try!  Ursula's design nowadays oddly reminds me of Shanoa.  |

I got the 3* Ursula on my first try. The 4* one on insanity mode is proving a bit more tricky. Also, there's a new summons character banner! It's got Nino, Effie, Setsuna, and Felicia. Also the tournament's current situation (spoiler'd for size). |

Lucina defeated Eirika by more then double the points. After my team's defeat I've gone to join Team Ephraim. I shall resist Lucina as many times as is necessary. (Click spoilers to see the final results of Eirika vs. Lucina.) |

Do we get any extra feathers if we don't use up all our flags? As for the finals, here's what Team Ephraim/anyone who's not Lucina wants to happen. Here's what's actually going to happen. |

It's so one-sided, lol. What is the incentive to fight for a team you know will lose?

You'll be fighting for a character you like. 2. ...That's it, really. lol well, I thought about it for a bit after I posted that and actually, it certainly is much easier to get a higher rank in the less popular army. So there's that, because you do get better rewards for higher ranks. Maybe not actually as much as winning lol, but maybe you also care about leaderboards? Heh |

The thing about these tournaments is that it is a glorified popularity contest. Eventually, We'll wind up with a bunch of niche picks due to fan love.
In some way, it reminds me of the character contest Gamefaqs used to do.

purifyweirdshard Being on the winning team gets you 500 Hero Feathers, but you also get a rank bonus regardless of whether your team wins and loses, and rank bonus offers more then the team win bonus. Lucina is also obviously going to win. She's got like a 5 billion lead, no exaggeration, no typo.

Right, that's pretty much what I mentioned in my last post.
Lucy wins by TEN BILLION POINTS. GG? lol.
Might have been better/closer if they had subbed her out for a more fair brother/sister duo...like say, Raven/Priscilla. She's not in the game yet though, kinda waiting on her, Lucius...and L'Arachel actually. I'd say Sain is my favorite Green Knight Guy, so maybe he'll make it eventually too, but I doubt it lol.
Hm, who else would I like to see...Seth was a cool male wyvern knight. I also miss some of the "general" units from the GBA games, I loved how their attacks animated and the heavy knight guys in Heroes just aren't the same. Same on "Rapier" missing as both a weapon and animation, the rapier lords attack mostly like standard sword users. Oh well ;p
I think that eventually, it would be really great if 5-star units visually looked like their respective class upgrades. It'd be especially fitting for the Nino/Amelia/Dommel style characters (especially Dommel lol) who start out obviously not quite suited for the front line, but usually get very strong later.
It may mostly just be a visual thing, though, not like they gain mounts and per se new weapon types. Just something more visually distinctive than the sparklies.
Oh, and I was going to ask...so I just got a 5-star version of a 4-star I had already leveled to 28. If I merge them, the gold only gets like 80 SP and zero experience. That seems kind of wrong, what am I to do there? Just stop using the 4 and level up the 5?

Upgrade the 4 star unit to a 5 star unit and then merge the 5 star units. The base 5 star unit will receive a permanent upgrade to their stats.
