This morning, Nintendo dropped three Smash Bros. bombshells named Lucina, Robin, and Captain Falcon.
The Internet was quick to react.

For starters, you must check out this new art by Kozaki Yusuke (via TinyCartridge):
Of course Twitter was quick to respond to the big reveals with jokes:

Kellam was also added to Smash Bros. today, but nobody noticed.

All this FE/Smash news is amazing, but I hope Sakurai knows the fans won't rest until this guy takes the stage: pic.twitter.com/PlUjadaoqi

There’s some concern that Lucina is just a Marth clone:
…and Lucina is a Marth clone? Why didn't she get the newcomer treatment on the Smash Bros site?

The thing I'm salty about is, lucina looks basically exactly like a marth clone :S

People are undoubtedly psyched about Captain Falcon, too:

There’s also concern that Earthbound’s Ness still hasn’t been announced:

None of these characters are Ness. I'm going to a bar.

But really, there’s only one character that NEEDS to be in this game:
And can you imagine Professor Layton as a Smash character
Like his final smash
"This reminds me of a puzzle"
