And I think that's the first time I can clearly hear the English version of the game. Neat.
this also marks the 2nd time that a character slot was used to advertise a FE game(Roy was in melee to advertise his game in JP).
on another note, I kinda wish they could have picked someone other than Corrin. I personally find it odd that the number of FE reps(Marth/Roy/Ike/Lucina/Robin/Corrin) are equal to the number of Pokemon reps(Pikachu/Jigglypuff/Mewtwo/Charizard/Lucario/Greninja) despite one series being magnitudes more popular than the other.(smash representation has relatively been balanced to how popular each series is, with Mario and pokemon universes getting the most reps, and LoZ/Kirby getting a handful of reps, and less popular titles getting less) I kinda wished they introduced a villain but instead added a 6th sword user(he also uses a lance, but still its a sword) to a representative list who all use swords.
