Eh, the coloring is either off in the scan or the 3DS version. It's far too yellow. In the video Elthunder was golden while Arcthunder was gold with some purple. But, I figured it out, it just looked weird. Perhaps it is a clash effect that is making the attack brighter?
That is purely speculation. There is no proof that Chrom is the cut character.
But remember, speculation =/= fact.
Oh okay. Darn the semantics haha. So the wind tomes also has limited uses? This raises so many questions. Like how fast can you regenerate them.. once per stock seems a bit insane.
I do like that back stab mechanic.
Hahaha that it a hilarious signature
Are you referring to that scan that was mistranslated? It said nothing about Chrom being cut for Lucina, just that Lucina started out as a Marth alt before being made her own character.
'd.No.
Does that mean you can use the Up Special multiple times in the air?
Very possible. Each day so far has been better than the last speculating Robin's moveset. We've already had quality, constructive discussion for 18 pages.
It doesn't mention that, but it debunks the theory that the Up-B is a single jump that can be used multiple times - it explicity states that you fire two shots down.
Edited to my old post that they mention a way to recover Levin Sword / tomes. Didn't understand the context but my personal guess is when you lose a stock.
It was from the big "Ban MK" phase of smashboards, thank you!Hahaha that it a hilarious signature
That would be pretty crazy. So if that's the case, we can't just spam most (if not all) of our tome spells/special attacks, and have to use them wisely. Tricky tricky tricky..
That...sounds bad...No recovery if you run out of wind uses? That would make him the only character in the game that loses his third jump through up B. Wish you could fire only one at a time for conservation of uses. I wonder how many uses he has though and if the uses reset on death. If he had maybe 5-10 uses per life (assuming each up b uses one use) it wouldn't be a problem but design wise it just seems like unless you make his character significantly more powerful there is no reason he should be the only character to lose his up b simply because he used it a little.
Just to add that they do confirm that you will recover the Levin sword / tomes after a certain amount of time but that there is a way beside that to recover them (and my interpretion there was when you lose stock).
Unfortunately the article doesn't discuss how many uses tomes / Levin sword has at all.
That's why I'm thinking that part was just semantics. And what they actually meant was you can only use it once or twice then you fall, instead of actually losing your Up B.
Sorry to say but in this case the text is very clear that you actually lose the Up-B. I've read the text several times and there is just no room for doubt, unfortunately. It explicity states that in the case of the up-b not having anymore uses you won't be able to fire of the projectile and thus not jump.
That's not the case, sorry. The word in question here is ミス, which is basically just the english word "miss". So it depends on the context of miss, and how they use it here. I just have no idea.@Chauzu 's mention of "recovering" the lost ability with something like "hit" reminds me when enemies would occasionally drop weapons in Fire Emblem upon defeat. So in this case, the more hits you land, "recovery" time is decreased.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up! Well then, we all need to be sharp when playing Robin then. I wonder how many of us are actually that detail-oriented to main Robin successfully and effectively? I know this is definitely the type of gameplay I love!Sorry to say but in this case the text is very clear that you actually lose the Up-B. I've read the text several times and there is just no room for doubt, unfortunately. It explicity states that in the case of the up-b not having anymore uses you won't be able to fire of the projectile and thus not jump.
My japanese isn't the best but in this case I'm very confident.
We are discussing Waifus, hows that creepy?
I think that's the animation that would happen if you run out of charges/uses and you try using your tome again (mainly because you see Robin just standing there as it discards, instead of right after an attack.) If the tomes don't regenerate via cool down, I can see them being charged back up (or rather, re-summoned) either by attacking or what you mentioned with the taunts. I just can't see the whole Popo/Nana situation where if you lose an Ice Climber you have to wait until you re-stock to get your partner back. Well actually, I can, I just don't want that to be the case lol. That would be a bit unfair, but I guess it depends how effective Robin is without (most or all of) his special attacks.
yeah i just don't see an ic case here, while weaker at least when nana is gone you can still use specials, if its the same for robin then having no specials at all would gimp him too much imo to be a fun character to play
Thank you for the link, it appears that most of our speculation was accurate. Unfortunately, we were also correct about Elwind. I wonder if you respawn with more "Elwind" spells, I would assume that to be the case.
In that scenario, I think it would make Robin even more interesting to play. You have to manage how much you use your B specials and when they run out you're left with your mastery of melee, so you have to be both smart and have a mastery of both melee and ranged attacks. It would make more sense though if you can respawn the tomes on command instead of death. So far we haven't seen an Ice Climber type character. Even Luma is respawnable, same with Little Mac's KO move. I'd like to think the tomes would be easily respawned.
Honestly, the Robin news was appreciated, but no one really cares because they confirmed a Guile taunt for Lucina. Unfortunate.
So new info's were leaked by the last Famitsu:
Robin's Forward Smash
This move strikes your opponent with Robin's Thunder Sword. However, as you can only use Robin's Thunder Sword attacks a certain number of times, once you've run out of uses, this attack will hit with a regular bronze sword instead.
Forward air attack
When performing this move, if you were to smash the analog stick in the forward direction, Robin will attack with his Thunder Sword for additional electric damage. But like all of Robin's Thunder Sword attacks, you can only use the improved version a finite number of times.
Down+B: Nosferatu
Purple-black smog in the shape of a snake appears right in front of Robin when this move is used. If your opponent is hit by it, he or she will be "cursed" by the spell. When a cursed opponent is hit, Robin's health meter will recover. What's also interesting is that if the cursed opponent is struck from the back, the amount of health Robin recovers will be larger.
Neutral B: Thunder
Hitting the button once will activate a charging period for Robin's Thunder spell, and hitting it again will cast it. The amount of time Robin charges will determine the version of the spell cast (Thunder, Elthunder, Giga Thunder, or Tron).
While charging, you can also hit the shield button to cancel the move and store the charge -- the next time you hit the B button, Robin will resume charging from wherever you left off previously.
Up+B: Elwind
When this special move is performed in the air, Robin produces two green projectiles that he sends flying downwards, which simultaneously propels him upwards. However, you can only use this move a limited number of times. Once you've exceeded the number of uses, Robin will not produce the projectiles or jump higher.
Side+B: Giga Fire
Robin produces a projectile that flies diagonally downwards. When the projectile comes into contat with the stage, an opponent, or an item, it will generate a pillar of fire that spreads upwards, and deal area damage to anyone nearby.

Also with new info's about Lucina (She apparently start with the mask and she can remove/put it back with a taunt Guile style, and the already known info Sakurai gave us)
I'm even more boring when it comes to marriages for Chrom. I always have him marry Sumia. xD
