New SSBB AT: Lyn!

Glotnot | September 11, 2007 | News | Wii 
Lyn of Fire Emblem joins the cast of Brawl. No, not as playable, but as an Assist Trophy.

Joining the ranks of other characters that were wanted to be playable but just didn't make the cut (pun not intended), she'll slice your foes with a powerful slash.
A young girl from the Sacae plains, Lyn (whose true name is Lyndis) makes a guest appearance from the Game Boy Advance game Fire Emblem.

She wields what looks like a classical Japanese sword, so she’s similar to Samurai Goroh, but her sword strokes are a little different from his reckless slashing.

You’ll get helplessly cut down if you suffer a solid blow from this blade. If you call her forth as your ally, grab your enemies to make them easier for her to hit.

    I was a little disappointed this morning when I found out she was an Assist Trophy. I've wanted her as a playable character for years. It's a shame she's just an Assist Trophy...

    Oh well, at least we get Lyn in all her 3D glory. She was one of the better main characters in Fire Emblem.

    Her speed would have most likely matched or been better than Marths'...would have been an amazing character. Shame she didn't make the cut

    She was in the first major FE game shipped to USA for the GBA, right? With Hector and what's his face xD I used her more out of the three heroes in that game.

    I would have liked to have her as a playable character too. At least she is in the game as a Assist Trophy.

    Well I got my wish to see Lyn in SSBB, but she's only a TROPHY?!? Well I suppose that would sound nicer under a different context. I guess HAL can't figure out how to make just any Nintendo character playable competitively.

    I've never played Fire Emblem, but she looks like she would have made a nice character, this game needs more females, but she still looks like a pretty good AT

    They really should have just made her playable. At least she looks nice.

    Haven't played any FE games, but this is a pretty cool update. It looks like she'll be one of the more useful ATs

    I was suprised that a character of FE of 2003 was added to the game. I firstly thought it was a character, but fortunateley its just a AT.
