So I got through the annoyance that was Ch.2 Lunatic mode now on to Ch.3. Which isn't as annoying.

Also speaking of pairings who goes well with Sumia that isn't Chrom or Henry?

Oh boy, demo of the final build this weekend.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/smashbros_3ds_event2014/index.html

Hoping we get some Robin gameplay then. The Wario logo is present in the page background, so I guess Wario will be available for this demo despite not being officially revealed yet, so maybe Robin will be available for this one too.
Oh my goodness! Perhaps they'll show Wario tomorrow? It wouldn't be too big of a stretch.

Thanks very much for informing!

The mainly upwards focussed arc makes me think Uair.
A Nair would probably something a bit more towards all directions, like a lot of Nairs are.

After watching the video in slow motion when it gets to that part. I think that particular move is a Bair. The upwards arc is more of an illusion in the gif really but watching the that particular part in the video you can see it is more focused to the side and has a different animation from Fair.

My vote would be bair. It seems like the move's arc focuses mostly on hitting behind Robin, with a some extra arc on top and bottom. Plus at the end of the animation, Robin spins around which I don't think would happen for an Up-Air animation. It could be either one though. Whichever, we'll know in less than two weeks!

Have you all discussed much about how, in his trailer, Robin tossed away one of his "empty" tomes like it was an item? How do you think that'll work? How many characters in Smash have both of their hands full at all times?
If he holds an actual item (like a Pokeball or something), I imagine he'd just swap out the item with his tomes depending on which he was using at the moment. I'd hope they didn't make it so he can't use specials while holding an item.
Do you think he'll toss a tome automatically once it's used up? Or that it'd sort of "become" an item once it's dry? Or maybe treated as an item... at all times?

All of this leads up to the one question that's constantly on my mind whenever I think about Robin: Do you think we'll be able to whip out these magical, element-bending tomes and just chuck them at people? Because that'd make me so happy.

Your guess is as good as mine

Actually she'd grab the item with her sword hand since we've seen the sword simply latch on to her hip at points (I think).
I'd love to be able to throw the tomes at people. It'll be hilarious just whacking them with it as they try to recover and watching them fall.

Oh right. Marth and Link don't put their swords away, so that just didn't occur to me... But it would make more sense, wouldn't it?
Except for... aerials. Hmm...

This game needs to just come out already.

Hmm that's hard to say. As a child, Cynthia has always been sub-par compared to the other children such as Severa and Morgan. There is also MU x Sumia, but that's a waste for Morgan imo.

Dude that looks awesome. Just know that Chrom will be starting at you when you are sleeping xD

Really? My Henry!Cynthia x Donnel!Inigo team just freaking wrecked everything. The Chrom!Morgan x Gaius!Severa (I know, I wasted Gaius's potential with Cordelia, but it was my second time playing the game) team was just gravy

Thanks! It's actually next to my computer/Wii U in my apartment's front room. So I'll be playing Smash under it, praying to Lord Chrom I guess lol

Cynthia is great! Sure, she's no Severa, Morgan, or Lucina, but she's probably at the top of the next tier of kids. However, that's with either Henry or Chrom as her dad. If you aren't using one of them, go with whoever doesn't screw up her stats. Which is basically "not Frederick", leaving... Gaius. He shouldn't be too bad a dad, other than passing on super orange hair to go with her shiny silver armor.

And here is M!Morgan.



I'll never understand why some people put the time and effort into making something like this.

But if we do the math, M!Morgan's son (and I guess brother) will be infinitely more powerful than any other potential character born from F!Robin's marriage! The same would be true for F!Morgan's daughter/sister. Think of how godly they would be in Lunatic+ mode, if you put them alone on a map with high-level enemies.

...Yeah, I wouldn't touch that pairing with a 50 meter pole.

That's cool and all, but...

THOSE IMAGES AND THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF THIS SCREAMS DISGUSTING AND WRONG

Wouldn't you agree dear sane people.

Some overreacting going on in this thread lately. I don't mind the Morgan pictures at all. To each their own :)

It's a cute cartoon, gosh.

How can you be weirded out, now? The ritual of proposal and marriage is already an arcane, arbitrary and strange practice as it is. Being offered from one cartoon to another, in a world with time travel, magic, and parallel dimensions is only a fraction as weird as the stuff humans already do.

How did we end up in an incest-discussion again? Last time I caused it but i suggested STEP-SISTER (Aversa), not father/daughter / mother/son. EURGH. Thats literally worse than siblings/half-siblings/cousins intermarrying.

Although, if what the christian and jewish churches say is true, the human society was created through incest. Either that or Adam and Eves sons/daughters doing it with apes... URGH.

I keep really liking this comparison... now if only we had a movie based on this concept.

(Also Morgans are too damn cute things)
How about a crossover where Chrom looks upon a screen of plot convenience so he watches everyone fight against all logic and possibilities :seuss:

(child Robin out-cutes both of them.)

I hope they announce when Robin's (and Lucina's) amiibos are going to be released soon.

Amiibos confuse me. I don't see where some of them, like Robin or Lucina, will be used. Or what about Ness? When will there be an opportunity, besides smash, to use Ness?

SMT X FE is coming out eventually. I'd imagine the Lucina Amiibo can be used to grant her some specific, unique attacks in the game, and the Robin Amiibo can be used to actually let you use Robin in the game immediately, who would otherwise be locked up with ludicrous requirements (like those GODDAMN FOUR RIDERS IN SMTIV) in favor of the main FE lords from all 13 games.

In case you wanted some translated lyrics for Id~Purpose, here they are:
(BTW, I used Google Translator to find out want "vis o san" meant and it means "war o blood")

Reading the translated lyrics gave me some goosebumps. It perfectly represents Robin, it matches his character, captures Fire Emblem as a whole, and it gives the song more meaning.
