My dude, you're throwing a tantrum because someone doesn't recognize an anime character from a 7th tier handheld video game franchise and thinking that's absolutely impossible in this day and age.

Take a deep breath and think about how, despite your bad analogies, 99% of people don't care about your dumb anime.
They're talking about the person who didn't know who the Avengers we're. I am the one getting on people's cases about anime characters.

But for the record you're still twisting the argument. I took issue with "10 anime characters who look exactly the same." I don't give a gently caress if someone doesn't like anime but "look how cool I am because I don't like anime" people are annoying. If you can tell Mario and Luigi apart you can tell Marth and Ike apart. And furthermore purposely depriving yourself of fun characters in a fighting game because they're humanoid and bragging about it online is very cool.

It's kind of like how online everyone seems to be passionate about metroid/f zero but in real life nobody cares because of how extremely niche it is

Yeah they own fire emblem games because they don’t have the very weird hang ups goons tend to have around this subject.

Like you can look at the numbers if you don’t believe me. The fire emblem 3ds games sold insanely well.

Strictly anecdotal but I've never met a FE fan irl other than myself, yet everyone and their mother plays smash and Mario kart.

Like seriously during the last smash get together I went to people were STILL asking about who the gently caress are these anime swordsmen

They definitely aren’t the biggest but they outsell what people consider big titles. They crush Metroid as an example.

Plus they specifically boosted those sales by appealing to shut ins who want an anime girlfriend. It was a dying franchise

That's not a great example because despite goons' undying devotion, nobody actually cares about metroid on a significant scale

Yeah but there is also a reason it was a direct focus.

I’ve only played two fire emblem games but they are definitely recognizable if you have paid attention to Nintendo games for basically any amount of time.

Outside like the Wii because I don’t remember much hype then. Hell I don’t even know if any fire emblem even released for it.

The Wii had Radiant Dawn, which was the sequel to GCs Path of Radiance. It was ok (Path of Radiance was better).

Those games are the ones with Ike.

The two games I played only had the new characters, they don’t even mention Ike or Marth or Roy. Fire emblem games aren’t exactly narratively connected. They function kind of like Zelda from what I understand, at least the new ones do.

I can still recognize them despite never playing a game they appeared in.

You should recognize Scarlet Johansson from the movie The Island, which owned and was a big inspiration for the Portal games.

Despite playing a lot of Smash, I never cared about Fire Emblem until I saw someone playing Awakening on the train (yes– in public!!)

At the time I was waiting to get a 3DS until Pokémon X/Y came out, but that dope-looking FE game made me go get one sooner.

Also, she is (or was?) the highest paid female actor in Hollywood. I mean look not everybody is from the USA and we here in this country certainly grow up with a skewed worldview... maybe these ignorant goons are from some small town in... I dunno, South America? And they somehow found this site because of Photoshop Phridays and enjoyed playing the MegaDrive 10 years ago?

No it's true. Not only could I not put names to the faces, I don't even recognize the names. I do not know who Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans are, and it took me at least 30 seconds to remember that "The Avengers" (which I have not seen) probably isn't the one with the raccoon in it.
