Smash WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. Robin's Nosferatu is the first ability in the Smash Bros. series that recovers your damage as it gives damage to others. The attack becomes even stronger if you strike from behind! Robin doesn't actually use this ability in the original game, but we added that element to make the character unique. Who knows--the ideas we use in this game may contribute to the original series."

So when's Nintendo going to let me Falcon Punch others off the track in F-Zero?

interesting like ness and lucas

 

[Metallaeus]

Sakurai pls don't let this hint towards Dark Pit D:
Just let him be an alt and we can get this over with.

 

[Reiign]

Why though?

 

[bicth]

this move could be great. striking from behind could be bad for dash dancers, depending on the range of the move. however, it could also be a total bust.

 

[TurnUp]

Is this the first move to do more damage to the back of a fighter?

 

[Young Marth]

interesting like ness and lucas

That doesn't do damage it only heals when hit with a projectile.

 

[silvR1995]

Come on now ...I'm already maining, like, 7 characters. Don't add to it D:

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

Yes, because Robin wasn't already unique. Oh Samurai, you make me laugh.

 

[NekuShikazu]

Nosferatu seems like a good way to help Robin slowly turn the tides of battle. I don't know much about Fire Emblem and the tomes, but if it's rechargeable I guess it'll prevent Robin from abusing to it.

 

[TheLegendOfVenusaur]

Actually, Lucas can do damage with his psi magnet but you're right about it only healing when it absorbs projectiles.

 

[CyberZixx]

Sakurai has gone mad with power.

 

[Man Li Gi]

Oh Robin......

 

[TheLippyLapras]

Oh Mashpotato Samurai, how I love you so.

 

[SFA Smiley]

Why though?

That's what it does in Fire Emblem

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

Inb4 Project M beat you to it Sakurai!

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

This is CLEARLY a rip off of Call of Duty. I mean come on, standing still and regaining health? Doing nothing and damaging opponents? These are the goddamn fundamentals of Call of Duty, and Sakubuttcheeks stole it!

It's a rip off of every modern game ever

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

Its especially a rip off of Destiny! I mean come on, you can fight as a gay ass wizard named Robin on the moon!

A bit over reacting. I left cod for this game. I played cod4-ghosts n robin is no where near a CAMPER. Think about it, how easy on smash bros is it to get behind someone? Sure he would do hmm 10-15% damage n heal as well. Just bust a combo on his a$$ n FINISH HIM (fatality...jk)

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I really thought that was Dark Put for a moment...

I got all excited that he was an alt.

 

[the_irish_dude]

Nb4 PM Ivy....oh wait :-/

 

[Aurane]

I don't know why most people are against Dark Pit as a character of his own yet are perfectly content with Lucina. -_-;

Clone characters allow more characters to be in Smash 4. I'm not seeing a problem in it at all. Which so long as a Pichu-like moveset doesn't come back again, is ****ing awesome.

Riolu 4 Sm4sh.

It's not that we are content with Lucina, it's that she's already in the game so there is no point in complaining anymore than we already have.

 

[Aurane]

What's the point in complaining at all? it's not like you're forced to play as him, that is if he's confirmed.

 

[Keeshu]

I'm not complaining (because I like dark moves) and I haven't played Fire Emblem. But don't Fire Emblems have a bazillion different moves they can pick from? Why even consider using something they normally don't use for a special attack?

I'm still hoping for Alt special attacks for Robin where you can essentially make a moveset out of all the elements they've shown. I don't think it'll happen though.

 

[metaXzero]

What's the point of reacting at all? Why don't we disregard our positive/negative feelings towards announcements and just respond to them all with "meh"?

 

[Fisticuffs]

There is no dash dancing in this game.

 

[Fisticuffs]

I'm pretty sure this is the ultimate shield break punish.

 

[Deleted member]

"The attack becomes even stronger if you strike from behind!"

C'mon Sakurai, we know he's playable...

I'm going to consider this a Shulk tease and go on with my day

One clone: Uugh...
Two clones: Augh!!

 

[itsameluigi1290]

How come Pit has Dark Pit's sandals?

Anyway, I love this move, probably gonna be my favorite of his.

 

[Gabukin]

I'm curious to know if Nosferatu really dazes/stuns the opponent. In the announcement trailer looks like it does, but maybe I'm just crazy.

 

[Aurane]

One clone: Uugh...
Two clones: Augh!!

I'm guessing clones can kill a game, right?

Ah, well. My mug is ready either way. If and when Dark Pit is revealed to be playable, your tears- speaking to everyone- will be delicious.

 

[D-idara]

One clone: Uugh...
Two clones: Augh!!

Not Uugh if that clone is Lucina.

The problem with Clones, especially ones like Lucina, don't really add anything new to a game except minor differences. Why have a copy paste character with little differences to the original when you could have a unique character with an entirely new moveset? Of course, we don't have to play them if we don't want, but it just means that it was a lost opportunity for another character (not saying Chrom, as he'd probably be the same thing). I'm sure people would not have been upset with Lucina if she had an entirely different moveset

Personally, I don't want Dark Pit in the game, as I feel there's better choices of characters to choose from. Again, if he's in the game, I'll have to just deal.

@ F Fisticuffs
Dash dancing is the same as in brawl. Hungrybox used it in the grand finals of the e3 invitational.

Actually, that is not how it works. Lucina's absence wouldn't have meant that another newcomer with a different moveset would have been in her place instead. The only difference would be the lack of Lucina and I'm sure most agree that is better to have her than not having her at all.

Robin can use Nosferatu in FE:A if he turns into a Dark Mage.
