Marth vs Celice, the eternal smackdown

[mark_asphodel]

So.  

DLC.

I haven't seen verification of it yet, but this thread (caution: contains gameplay spoilers for FE13 as well as DLC discussion) on GameFaqs seems to point to a fairly unbelievable roster for Celice's army in the afterlife.  Based on the arsenal of weapons mentioned...

Levin and Sety (both packing Holsety)
Celice and Sigurd (confirmed; both wielding Tyrfing)
Cuan and Altenna (in case one Gae Bolg wasn't enough... Cuan at least is confirmed)
Aless (presumed user of Mistoltin)
Shanan (presumed user of Balmunk)
Julia (presumed user of Naga tome)
Finn (unless someone else is using 'Fin's Hero Spear')

If this is the case, the holy line of Ulir would sure like to know why no users of the Ichival got invited to the party.  Also, no mention of what Leaf himself has on hand; I'd assume the Light Sword, but maybe not.

I think two Holsety users provides a new illustration of the term "overkill."

Meanwhile, Marth's army has a comparatively pathetic two holy weapons at their disposal-- Marth's Falchion and Krom's Falchion.  And no dragons to slay.  Sounds like an uphill battle, guys.  As one poster put it, "Krom is a dumbass."

The cracked-canon potential of these chapters boggles the mind.

Hector: "So ... dual Wolf Beils?"
Eliwood: "... no."

Hahah.

I so want to see that as a comic. Particularly Eliwood's reaction.

As for Hector, he should've trained his little girl as an axe user!
