Back when Brawl was first released, Ike was accused of replacing Roy when Roy didn't return for Brawl. This was mainly because both characters had stronger close range moves than Marth, and they both had a fiery Neutral B that could create an explosion.

Looking back, even before Smash 4, I know for a fact that Ike is too different from Roy to be one to "replace" him. Same for the deal between Lucario and Mewtwo.

Roy's even more different from the other Lords in Smash this time. He's almost as strong and as heavy as Ike, but he's also faster than him, too. Roy seems like a middleground between Marth & Ike, in a way.

Still, it's good that, like with Project M, we can have Marth, Roy, AND Ike all in the same game. Plus, we still have Lucina and Robin if that's not enough Fire Emblem representation for you.

Speaking of which, the Fire Emblem series now ties for 3rd Place with the Zelda series for most characters in Smash 4, with both of each series having 5 playable characters, here.
