So, about that pay-for-play DLC...

Wow.  Pretty Marth is pretty... pretty unnerving, that is, with those eyes.  IDK, man, he's beautiful but he looks like the hypothetical offspring of Ike and Soren to me.  Tellius!Marth is a strangely compelling thing to behold.

Also, I think we can finally lay to rest the oft-spouted delusion that Ike is now the "real" ambassador of Fire Emblem to parts worldwide and the inclusion of Marth in, well, just about everything is just some sop to Super Famicom nostalgia because the Japanese are weird and like shitty games.  Nintendo expects you to pay extra for extra Marth content, OK?  They're banking on the fact that you love him.  Their first-ever offering of paid DLC as a company is extra Marth, with sparkles.  I think that says something.

It says goddamned Sigurd is not the "most popular Lord in Japan," OK?  So you can put that one to bed as well, or set it on fire for all I care.

So, which "Marth" ends up in Super Smash Bros 4?
