"Chrom: So you can watch my back?
Robin: That's part of it, yes. But I also want to be there when you find the next me, face down in a field. I want to help you make this army stronger. I want to help you forge new bonds."

Bio:
Chrom is the most recent lord of the Fire Emblem series. He is the main character of Fire Emblem: Awakening. Prince of Ylisse and descendent of Marth, he leads the Shepherds in order to protect his kingdom.
Robin is the tactician of the Shepherds. Found in a field by Chrom, he/she serves as a customizable avatar character in Fire Emblem: Awakening. He/she also serves as a main character in the game. His/her origins are shrouded in mystery. Also known as the Avatar and the Tactician.
Robin could either be a female or male in Smash. Or the gender could be hidden if Robin was a hooded figure, as seen in much of the art. Personally, I prefer female.
Pairing up is a new mechanic introduced in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Replacing rescuing, it allows to users to team up, gain a stat boost, and built their relationships for supports. Increasing a pair's support level increases their stat boosts. Characters can receive up to an A class support without marrying. If the characters are the opposite gender, there is the possibility the two could marry, in which case the move up to the S Class.
Playstyle:
[collapse=Jaytalks]
Chrom and Robin would be a team, much like the Ice Climbers. The difference is that they can switch places. For the most part, the character in the main position will be doing most of the attacks. With their smash attacks, a second flick like with Link's forward smash results in a second smash attack from the partner character.
Individually, Chrom is a slightly heavy character following the beatdown archetype. Robin is a lighter character following the mix up archetype.

CHROM & ROBIN
Playstyle: I've seen a few ideas about how they would work as a tag team (IC style, "transformation" style and one that was more unique, that had the off member stay in background [like PT] much like how they do in the game during Dual Support). So I've come up with something using the Dual Support style that I don't think has been suggested. Dual Support allows for the off teammate to block an attack or add an attack during the battling teammate's moves. I think this idea should be transferred to smash. The basic idea is that the off teammate could be used to extend a combo or as a combo breaker.

[collapse=Chrom & Robin by ToothiestAura]
Chrom
General: Chrom represents the direct fighting side of the duo. I see Chrom being a spiritual successor to Roy for this moveset (which really means his attacks will have fire effects, blue fire effects).
Playstyle:
-- Special Moves:
- Standard Special: Rapier
Chrom takes a step forward and stabs with a rapier. This move has the most range of any of his moves. While not that powerful, the sweetspot on the tip of the rapier can do significant damage. It hits a shielding opponent like a Mr. Saturn.
- Side Special: Shield of Seals
Can be aimed straight up or directly forward and any angle in between. Leaves Chrom vulnerable from behind. Can block projectile and attacks. Once this shield blocks five attacks (one for each stone) it starts to glow. While glowing it causes damage to an opponent who hits (akin to a counter) and can reflect projectiles. However, it can only take five hits while glowing before it reverts to it's normal stage.
- Up Special: Aether
This is only similar in name to Ike's Aether.
Chrom will perform a quick slash directly in front of him followed by a stronger slash upward. The first strike will heal Chrom slightly and the second will do additional damage to shields.
- Down Special: Dual Support!
This move switches the active fighter between Chrom & Robin. However, using this move can extend a combo. When inputted during the end of an attack, the off teammate will tag in with an attack. (For example: Chrom lands a hit, and then Robin jumps in striking with a spell. Then Robin is free to launch a projectile after the opponent who, is presumably, being knocked away. The offensive switch will offer no invulnerability frames. A defensive switch turns the move into a pseudo-counter: when inputted while being hit by an opponent the off teammate will switch-in and attack, there will be some invulnerability frames on the attack. Both the offensive and defensive switch will have a cooldown time. When input not during an attack or while being hit they simply switch places very quickly, the quickest switch in game; no invulnerability frames.
Chrom Switch-in quotes & Techniques
-- Smashes:
- Side Smash:
Chrom unleashes a strong forward slash imbued with blue flames. Charging this move will create an explosion of blue flame when released. Similar to Roy's Standard Special, though the explosion is not as powerful nor as big.
- Down Smash:
Chrom performs a quick spinning slash at his feet imbued with blue flames. Think Roy's Project M down smash.
- Up Smash:
Chrom performs a stab directly upward, imbued with blue flames.
-- Basic Moves:
- Combo:
Two slashes with Falchion followed up by a headbutt.
- Side Tilt:
A quick, spammable stab with falchion.
- Down Tilt:
A slash at the opponents feet, has the potential to trip the opponent but has poor range.
- Up Tilt:
A quick overhead slash.
- Dash Attack:
Chrom performs a double drop kick using falchion to vault.
--Aerials:
Neutral Aerial:
Chrom will slash behind himself with Falchion and in front of himself with his rapier. Poor range, but it is one of his quickest attacks.
- Forward Aerial:
Chrom stabs forward with Falchion. Reasonable power and range.
- Backward Aerial:
Chrom performs a quick slash which briefly turns him around.
- Downward Aerial:
Chrom performs a slash below himself and follows up with a stronger second slash. Not much knockback, on the first strike but enough holding power to keep an opponent there for the slightly slower second strike.
- Upward Aerial:
Chrom brings his sword up in fashion similar to Ike's Up Tilt. Bigger damage and range than most of his aerials, but less knockback.
-- Grabs/Throws:
Chrom stabs forward with his spear, good range.
- Pummel:
He headbutts his opponent. Slower than most pummels, does slightly more damage too.
- Forward Throw: Think Halbredier in FE:RD.
He jumps up into the air spinning his spear, bringing it down hard on his opponent.
- Backward Throw:
Chrom tosses his opponent behind him and lazily tosses his spear into them over his back.
- Up Throw:
Chrom slides his spear under the opponent and flings them upward quickly.
- Down Throw:
Chrom throws the opponent to the ground and then stabs them with his spear.
Spoiler: ROBIN
Toggle Spoiler
General:
Playstyle:
-- Special Moves:
- Standard Special: Ignis
Robin will read from his tome and it will glow with blue flames, the blue flames will stay on the tome until his next attack. The next attack Robin performs will be increased in power, and will also gain pink flower petal effects. If you switch to Chrom before your next attack, Chrom will gain its effects. As shown by blue fire and pink petals on Chrom's Falchion.
- Side Special: Lifetaker
Lifetaker is the class skill of Dark Knights. This heals half a unit's HP when they kill an opponent.
After some casting lag, Robin will produce a moderately sized ball of green lightening (Again based on the skill's icon - it actually more closely resembles green wind. Wind seemed more suited for Galeforce and I wanted all three types of Anima magic represented in Robin's Specials.) It will move forward slowly and dissipate quickly (think Luigi's Brawl Fireball). It will do moderate damage with little knockback. It will heal Robin 1/3-1/4 of the damage done.
- Up Special: Galeforce
Galeforce is the class skill of Dark Fliers. Galeforce allows a unit to move and attack once more after killing an opponent.
Robin would perform an attack very much Like Fox's Up Special; it would have a little starting lag, could be aimed in the same 8 directions and would be a tackle imbued with purple wind (Icon for the skill). Here's where things get interesting: if it comes in contact with an opponent, an additional attack is added at the end. Furthermore, if Robin hits an opponent with this move they will not enter freefall. Robin will get the ability to "move" again afterward. Note that this extra ability can only be used once in the air (before touching the ground) to keep things fair and similar to skill's in game usage.
- Down Special: Dual Support!
This move switches the active fighter between Chrom & Robin. However, using this move can extend a combo. When inputted during the end of an attack, the off teammate will tag in with an attack. (For example: Chrom lands a hit, and then Robin jumps in striking with a spell. Then Robin is free to launch a projectile after the opponent who, is presumably, being knocked away. The offensive switch will offer no invulnerability frames. A defensive switch turns the move into a pseudo-counter: when inputted while being hit by an opponent the off teammate will switch-in and attack, there will be some invulnerability frames on the attack. Both the offensive and defensive switch will have a cooldown time. When input not during an attack or while being hit they simply switch places very quickly, the quickest switch in game no invulnerability frames.
Robin's Switch-in quotes & Techniques
-- Smashes:
- Side Smash: Thunder
Robin creates an orb of thunder and unleashes it forward. A projectile smash, like Megaman's Megabuster. Moves very quickly, it is a multi-hit attack capable of stunning.
- Down Smash: Fire
Robin creates two orbs of fire on either side of himself, then detonates them. Robin's most powerful smash.
- Up Smash: Wind
Robin waves his hand above himself creating several orbs of wind. This smash move does the least damage, but the most knockback.
-- Basic Moves:
- Combo: (I liked the idea of magical combo I read in someone's moveset, but I wanted to stay somewhat original.) (This idea comes from Injustice: Gods Among Us - if you've played it you may be familiar with a Combo of Sinistro where does 1 or 2 normal hits and then creates three energy spikes at different time intervals to hit his opponent. This combo would be similar.)
This move would be truly unique - the only ranged combo. It starts off with a quick and low damage tome smack, but then Robin opens his book and casts a spell. Robin's spell tome will glow and three pillars of magic will appear (or less, if the button is pressed fewer times). The first pillar will be short fire magic, the second pillar will be medium sized wind magic and third will be a larger thunder magic pillar.
The main thing to remember with this move is that each successive hit gets further away from the Avatar and thus leaving him more open to attack. Connecting the slash and continuing with combo is not recommended, because the opponent will likely be able to close the distance and interrupt your attack. The same goes for characters with longer reach and the first hit of the spell combo.
- Side Tilt:
Robin creates a gust of wind with good range. Low damage, however.
- Down Tilt:
Robin slams his tome on the ground it then emits a small burst of fire.
- Up Tilt:
A bolt of lightning strikes from above Robin and strikes the ground at his feet. Comparable to Pikachu's down special on a much smaller scale of course.
- Dash Attack:
Robin jumps and spins engulfed in flames, when he lands flames shoot from the ground. One of Robin's more powerful moves.
-- Aerial Moves:
- Neutral Aerial:
Robin spins twice, engulfed in a tornado.
- Forward Aerial:
Robin strikes hard with his tome. Possible meteor.
- Backward Aerial:
Robin detonates a quick fire orb behind himself.
- Upward Aerial:
A bolt of lightning strikes from above Robin, hitting his tome. multi-hit.
- Downward Aerial:
Robin unleashes a bolt of lightning beneath him. Good reach, low killing power, more of a stunning move.
-- Grabs/Throws:
- Pummel:
Robin will create a ball of wind in the palm of his hand and slam it into his opponent. This will be a very quick pummel, with little damage.
- Forward Throw: Arcwind
Robin grabs his opponent by the feet and jumps into the air, spinning rapidly in a green tornado and then releases the opponent in front of him.
- Backward Throw: Arcwind
Robin grabs his opponent by the feet and jumps into the air, spinning rapidly in a green tornado and then releases the opponent behind him.
- Up Throw: Arcfire
Robin throws his opponent above his head and follows up with a heavy stream of fire from his hand. Most damaging throw, but does the least knockback.
- Down Throw: Arcthunder
Robin throws the grabbed opponent onto the ground and then strikes them with three bolts of lightning.
Final Smash: Rally Spectrum
Rally Spectrum is a class skill of Grandmasters (The promotion of tactician). It increases all the stats of friendly units within range by 4 for a turn. So, this would affect both Chrom and Robin. Naturally, Robin would yell, "Time to tip the scales!" and then he would grab his tome as if performing Ignis, but instead of blue flames and petals Robin's tome is covered in an aura of rainbow flames as is Chrom's Falchion. When imbued with this rainbow flame all aspects of Chrom & Robin get stronger: they are faster, stronger and immune to damage. This will last about the time that Wario Man lasts. The cooldown on Dual-Strike will be lifted.
[/collapse]
Chances:
The chances of Awakening rep are quite good, with the Awakening Stage Arena Ferox being a 3DS stage. Who it will be is where everyone differs. Chrom individually has the best chance, but if Sakurai goes outside of the box, this would be one of his options. If IS has any say, this might be something they suggest. This would add diversity of movesets to the roster while representing a key aspect of the series,
Arguments and Counter Arguments:
There are problems with the ice climbers on the 3DS version. Therefore, there will not be another team up character.
The game is over a year out from release. They have time to fix it. If Ice Climbers can be fixed, there's nothing stopping them from adding other team up characters.
Why would FE get basically two newcomers? It's such a small series.
The pairing of these characters best represents the pair up system in Fire Emblem: Awakening. It's one of the key features to the game, and represents the game's most important aspects.
This over Chom and Lucina?
While I love that concept, the game's pairs up these two characters far more, regardless of whether or not Robin is female. The game begins and ends with these two characters. Their relationship defines the game.
But Robin has no real appearance?
This could easily be remedied by Robin having a hood. Or like the villager, just using Robin's default appearance. Either gender could be selectable or they could just pick at the select screen.

-- Special Moves:
- Standard Special: Rapier
Chrom takes a step forward and stabs with a rapier. This move has the most range of any of his moves. While not that powerful, the sweetspot on the tip of the rapier can do significant damage. It hits a shielding opponent like a Mr. Saturn.
- Side Special: Shield of Seals
Can be aimed straight up or directly forward and any angle in between. Leaves Chrom vulnerable from behind. Can block projectile and attacks. Once this shield blocks five attacks (one for each stone) it starts to glow. While glowing it causes damage to an opponent who hits (akin to a counter) and can reflect projectiles. However, it can only take five hits while glowing before it reverts to it's normal stage.
- Up Special: Aether
This is only similar in name to Ike's Aether.
Chrom will perform a quick slash directly in front of him followed by a stronger slash upward. The first strike will heal Chrom slightly and the second will do additional damage to shields.
- Down Special: Dual Support!
This move switches the active fighter between Chrom & Robin. However, using this move can extend a combo. When inputted during the end of an attack, the off teammate will tag in with an attack. (For example: Chrom lands a hit, and then Robin jumps in striking with a spell. Then Robin is free to launch a projectile after the opponent who, is presumably, being knocked away. The offensive switch will offer no invulnerability frames. A defensive switch turns the move into a pseudo-counter: when inputted while being hit by an opponent the off teammate will switch-in and attack, there will be some invulnerability frames on the attack. Both the offensive and defensive switch will have a cooldown time. When input not during an attack or while being hit they simply switch places very quickly, the quickest switch in game; no invulnerability frames.
Chrom Switch-in quotes & Techniques
-- Smashes:
- Side Smash:
Chrom unleashes a strong forward slash imbued with blue flames. Charging this move will create an explosion of blue flame when released. Similar to Roy's Standard Special, though the explosion is not as powerful nor as big.
- Down Smash:
Chrom performs a quick spinning slash at his feet imbued with blue flames. Think Roy's Project M down smash.
- Up Smash:
Chrom performs a stab directly upward, imbued with blue flames.
-- Basic Moves:
- Combo:
Two slashes with Falchion followed up by a headbutt.
- Side Tilt:
A quick, spammable stab with falchion.
- Down Tilt:
A slash at the opponents feet, has the potential to trip the opponent but has poor range.
- Up Tilt:
A quick overhead slash.
- Dash Attack:
Chrom performs a double drop kick using falchion to vault.
--Aerials:
Neutral Aerial:
Chrom will slash behind himself with Falchion and in front of himself with his rapier. Poor range, but it is one of his quickest attacks.
- Forward Aerial:
Chrom stabs forward with Falchion. Reasonable power and range.
- Backward Aerial:
Chrom performs a quick slash which briefly turns him around.
- Downward Aerial:
Chrom performs a slash below himself and follows up with a stronger second slash. Not much knockback, on the first strike but enough holding power to keep an opponent there for the slightly slower second strike.
- Upward Aerial:
Chrom brings his sword up in fashion similar to Ike's Up Tilt. Bigger damage and range than most of his aerials, but less knockback.
-- Grabs/Throws:
Chrom stabs forward with his spear, good range.
- Pummel:
He headbutts his opponent. Slower than most pummels, does slightly more damage too.
- Forward Throw: Think Halbredier in FE:RD.
He jumps up into the air spinning his spear, bringing it down hard on his opponent.
- Backward Throw:
Chrom tosses his opponent behind him and lazily tosses his spear into them over his back.
- Up Throw:
Chrom slides his spear under the opponent and flings them upward quickly.
- Down Throw:
Chrom throws the opponent to the ground and then stabs them with his spear.
Spoiler: ROBIN
Toggle Spoiler
General:
Playstyle:
-- Special Moves:
- Standard Special: Ignis
Robin will read from his tome and it will glow with blue flames, the blue flames will stay on the tome until his next attack. The next attack Robin performs will be increased in power, and will also gain pink flower petal effects. If you switch to Chrom before your next attack, Chrom will gain its effects. As shown by blue fire and pink petals on Chrom's Falchion.
- Side Special: Lifetaker
Lifetaker is the class skill of Dark Knights. This heals half a unit's HP when they kill an opponent.
After some casting lag, Robin will produce a moderately sized ball of green lightening (Again based on the skill's icon - it actually more closely resembles green wind. Wind seemed more suited for Galeforce and I wanted all three types of Anima magic represented in Robin's Specials.) It will move forward slowly and dissipate quickly (think Luigi's Brawl Fireball). It will do moderate damage with little knockback. It will heal Robin 1/3-1/4 of the damage done.
- Up Special: Galeforce
Galeforce is the class skill of Dark Fliers. Galeforce allows a unit to move and attack once more after killing an opponent.
Robin would perform an attack very much Like Fox's Up Special; it would have a little starting lag, could be aimed in the same 8 directions and would be a tackle imbued with purple wind (Icon for the skill). Here's where things get interesting: if it comes in contact with an opponent, an additional attack is added at the end. Furthermore, if Robin hits an opponent with this move they will not enter freefall. Robin will get the ability to "move" again afterward. Note that this extra ability can only be used once in the air (before touching the ground) to keep things fair and similar to skill's in game usage.
- Down Special: Dual Support!
This move switches the active fighter between Chrom & Robin. However, using this move can extend a combo. When inputted during the end of an attack, the off teammate will tag in with an attack. (For example: Chrom lands a hit, and then Robin jumps in striking with a spell. Then Robin is free to launch a projectile after the opponent who, is presumably, being knocked away. The offensive switch will offer no invulnerability frames. A defensive switch turns the move into a pseudo-counter: when inputted while being hit by an opponent the off teammate will switch-in and attack, there will be some invulnerability frames on the attack. Both the offensive and defensive switch will have a cooldown time. When input not during an attack or while being hit they simply switch places very quickly, the quickest switch in game no invulnerability frames.
Robin's Switch-in quotes & Techniques
-- Smashes:
- Side Smash: Thunder
Robin creates an orb of thunder and unleashes it forward. A projectile smash, like Megaman's Megabuster. Moves very quickly, it is a multi-hit attack capable of stunning.
- Down Smash: Fire
Robin creates two orbs of fire on either side of himself, then detonates them. Robin's most powerful smash.
- Up Smash: Wind
Robin waves his hand above himself creating several orbs of wind. This smash move does the least damage, but the most knockback.
-- Basic Moves:
- Combo: (I liked the idea of magical combo I read in someone's moveset, but I wanted to stay somewhat original.) (This idea comes from Injustice: Gods Among Us - if you've played it you may be familiar with a Combo of Sinistro where does 1 or 2 normal hits and then creates three energy spikes at different time intervals to hit his opponent. This combo would be similar.)
This move would be truly unique - the only ranged combo. It starts off with a quick and low damage tome smack, but then Robin opens his book and casts a spell. Robin's spell tome will glow and three pillars of magic will appear (or less, if the button is pressed fewer times). The first pillar will be short fire magic, the second pillar will be medium sized wind magic and third will be a larger thunder magic pillar.
The main thing to remember with this move is that each successive hit gets further away from the Avatar and thus leaving him more open to attack. Connecting the slash and continuing with combo is not recommended, because the opponent will likely be able to close the distance and interrupt your attack. The same goes for characters with longer reach and the first hit of the spell combo.
- Side Tilt:
Robin creates a gust of wind with good range. Low damage, however.
- Down Tilt:
Robin slams his tome on the ground it then emits a small burst of fire.
- Up Tilt:
A bolt of lightning strikes from above Robin and strikes the ground at his feet. Comparable to Pikachu's down special on a much smaller scale of course.
- Dash Attack:
Robin jumps and spins engulfed in flames, when he lands flames shoot from the ground. One of Robin's more powerful moves.
-- Aerial Moves:
- Neutral Aerial:
Robin spins twice, engulfed in a tornado.
- Forward Aerial:
Robin strikes hard with his tome. Possible meteor.
- Backward Aerial:
Robin detonates a quick fire orb behind himself.
- Upward Aerial:
A bolt of lightning strikes from above Robin, hitting his tome. multi-hit.
- Downward Aerial:
Robin unleashes a bolt of lightning beneath him. Good reach, low killing power, more of a stunning move.
-- Grabs/Throws:
- Pummel:
Robin will create a ball of wind in the palm of his hand and slam it into his opponent. This will be a very quick pummel, with little damage.
- Forward Throw: Arcwind
Robin grabs his opponent by the feet and jumps into the air, spinning rapidly in a green tornado and then releases the opponent in front of him.
- Backward Throw: Arcwind
Robin grabs his opponent by the feet and jumps into the air, spinning rapidly in a green tornado and then releases the opponent behind him.
- Up Throw: Arcfire
Robin throws his opponent above his head and follows up with a heavy stream of fire from his hand. Most damaging throw, but does the least knockback.
- Down Throw: Arcthunder
Robin throws the grabbed opponent onto the ground and then strikes them with three bolts of lightning.
Final Smash: Rally Spectrum
Rally Spectrum is a class skill of Grandmasters (The promotion of tactician). It increases all the stats of friendly units within range by 4 for a turn. So, this would affect both Chrom and Robin. Naturally, Robin would yell, "Time to tip the scales!" and then he would grab his tome as if performing Ignis, but instead of blue flames and petals Robin's tome is covered in an aura of rainbow flames as is Chrom's Falchion. When imbued with this rainbow flame all aspects of Chrom & Robin get stronger: they are faster, stronger and immune to damage. This will last about the time that Wario Man lasts. The cooldown on Dual-Strike will be lifted.

Chances:
The chances of Awakening rep are quite good, with the Awakening Stage Arena Ferox being a 3DS stage. Who it will be is where everyone differs. Chrom individually has the best chance, but if Sakurai goes outside of the box, this would be one of his options. If IS has any say, this might be something they suggest. This would add diversity of movesets to the roster while representing a key aspect of the series,
Arguments and Counter Arguments:
There are problems with the ice climbers on the 3DS version. Therefore, there will not be another team up character.
The game is over a year out from release. They have time to fix it. If Ice Climbers can be fixed, there's nothing stopping them from adding other team up characters.
Why would FE get basically two newcomers? It's such a small series.
The pairing of these characters best represents the pair up system in Fire Emblem: Awakening. It's one of the key features to the game, and represents the game's most important aspects.
This over Chom and Lucina?
While I love that concept, the game's pairs up these two characters far more, regardless of whether or not Robin is female. The game begins and ends with these two characters. Their relationship defines the game.
But Robin has no real appearance?
This could easily be remedied by Robin having a hood. Or like the villager, just using Robin's default appearance. Either gender could be selectable or they could just pick at the select screen.
