Hell, it took until Ultimate for Fire Emblem to get its first item. Even in Brawl and Smash for Wii U/3DS, Fire Emblem had very few non-fighter trophies, most of which were just copy-pasted models from Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn. Likewise, all Fire Emblem trophies except for Marth and Roy were cut during Melee's development. For the next three Smash games, Fire Emblem would only receive one stage per game, when many other series would get multiple stages. In Melee, Fire Emblem was the only series that had a fighter but no stage, seeing how Akaneia got cut during development. If anything, Fire Emblem has historically struggled with secondary content in Smash. Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kirby, and Kid Icarus also have unique victory themes for certain characters.
