Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

[ToothiestAura]

Hey uh, guys? I've had a little change of heart.

A stance change set is pretty unlikely now, since Sakurai wants us to focus on "one moveset".

Yeah, probably. Nothing wrong with a full mage Robin or a Robin that uses swords & magic for one moveset, though.

 

[Dragon1128]

I have to say, this was something I've been thinking about.

I really like the idea of a melee/mage like character.

Count me in.

I don't think it'll happen, 40% chance I assume, since Chrom is without a doubt going to be in., and Considering they'd either have to give another slot to FE or remove Ike, but it's still an incredibly awesome concept.

 

[Louie G.]

I'd love a sword/Mage Robin, but if we get Takamaru, Shulk, and Chrom too, another sword wielder will make people skeptical, even though Robin uses it a lot differently.
A full Mage set is what I would expect, and it would differentiate him/her from the rest of the cast best.

 

[IronFish]

They should add her/him/Robin as a cleric/priest. Then he/she/Robin could heal himself/herself anywhere in battle. She/He/Robin could attack by beating them with a staff. Also, since female Robin versus male Robin is a problem, why not make her/him/Robin both? That way everyone can be happy!

Uhh they would just be tacticians not priests.

He could have counter for down special if you don't like rally spectrum

 

[Drakonis]

Which is actually exactly what I gave him in my moveset, though with a small twist.

Since I'd almost bet on Isaac making it in, a pure Sword & Sorcery skillset might look a bit redundant. Not saying I would mind it since there's all those fun Psynergies that are different from your usual magic and Isaac and Robin are very different characters. But I still think there's more than just that you could do with Robin.

Nah, we have Zelda (and probably Palutena) for pure mage. Half and half Sword + Sorcery is something no one else does, with sword in one hand and tome in the other.

 

[Rabbattack]

We should add Gregor or Frederick instead.

This is probably better suited for the general Fire Emblem discussion thread.

Unless Gandondorf does it.

It's all still broad. There is so much that can still be done in the field of spellcasting, especially if Mewtwo is out for the count.

 

[Second Power]

Unless Gandondorf does it.

Okay, thanks for the correction. Even then, it's not like it'd be hard to differentiate the two. Before even discussing playstyles, Robin uses elemental magic while most Ganondorf's stuff is... surprisingly, mostly light based. At least, going by OoT Ganondorf and Possessed Zelda.

And I liiiiike punchy Ganondorf

Looking at Smash's Gdorf I'd say it's mostly dark, though I agree it mostly looks like Light magic in the canon.

I like punchy Gdorf too but...y'know.

 

[IronFish]

The move set I made was to show off the skills the tactician/grandmaster class both get and weapons they use, though I can see him switching weapons for a smash attack...

 

[Rabbattack]

One is all and all is one. Robin is Gregor and Frederick.

No, not really. It'd be best to keep discussion focused on Robin here.

 

[IronFish]

I think its feasible to see different hair styles for different costume on Robin, if Pokemon can have models with hats I think they can change a model's hair

 

[Hong]

I think that's the general assumption.

Plus, characters have seen alteration on a grander scale. Wireframe Mac is here, and we will no doubt have the two versions of Wario again. Comparitively, two genders and a unique hair style for each colour is not asking for a lot.

 

[Morian]

I would like to see the shota and loli versions of Robin too, buuuuut I know asking for different build sizes for a character it's not likely to happen.

 

[Drakonis]

Stumpy feet Robin skin :D

Honestly though, I'd be perfectly happy if we got hood down and "standard white hair" skins for both genders. Unless we'll have a character customization mode where we can add or change little details about each character's look I highly doubt "my" Robin will be available anyways - and I'm using the regular body build. I bet that will be the case for a lot of people.

FYI, I use male Robin with blonde combed back long hair in most of my playthroughs. Or in the game's terms:
Male, body 1, face 4, hair 3, hair colour 7, voice 1.

I meant different hair styles, same build along with different color robes

Also seeing Awakening characters with feet will be amazing

 

[Hong]

They could always have the male as build 1, female as build 2 or 3, or something, though they'll probably go full vanilla for default appearances.

I have had a number of Robins, but I think my favourite is the shorter girl, and the long hair with the little ribbons. Black. Voice 1, too.

I'm pretty boring like that.

Boring? I like generic male Robin, no changes at all

 

[NocturnalQuill]

I feel like Robin would be a much better rep for FE:A than Chrom. I don't doubt that Chrom could have a unique moveset and playstyle, but three blue-haired swordsmen would get a bit old aesthetically. Robin could use a mix of swords and magic.

 

[Hong]

Robin revealed: Blue haired swordsman, doesn't use tomes.

 

[Morian]

And wielding the old Ragnell stolen from Priam, replacing Ike.

Would be cool to see Priam as an Ike clone... What else would he be for in Awakening? Like Roy

 

[Morian]

Alt costume for Ike with facial hair and Priam's hero armor would be cool too.

I just had a great idea for Robin's Final Smash : Dual Chain Attack with Chrom for Female Robin and Lucina for Male Robin.

Considering everyone I know marries Chrom if they're playing a female Avatar or Lucina if they're male...uh...well, you get the idea.

My male Robin married Sully.
Though, my female Robin did marry Chrom (just to make Lucina awesome).

I married my male Robin to Tiki on all playthroughs so far. I want to try out Lucina once somewhere down the road, just to see if some of the dialogue changes accordingly.
Female Robin and Chrom go REALLY well together though.

Nah, I feel that's really against the character. Would probably look really cool, but it would be doing the very thing he/she tried to prevent in the game. I'd rather have Grima as a stage (unlikely for WiiU version since it will be very light on handheld stages if it has any at all) or stage hazard like the Yellow Devil.
I'd love to see team-up attacks with several other characters from Awakening as Robin's final smash. Showing off some more of the integral gameplay of the game while still potentially being unique for Smash Bros. "THAT's how it's done!"

Its not a massive spoiler like that one

I think his FS should be Ignis and be like Great Aether but on the ground and with flower pedals

Marrying Lucina DOES change some dialogue. It was in chapter twenty-something or other. I forgot the exact one.

Probably the scene where she confronts him then. Thought that'd be the case.

Guys, I would suggest you to calm down with spoilers now.

Don't forget that visitors may not have cleared Awakening's main plot yet.

 

[Rabbattack]

Then his final smash would be eating bear meat.

To be fair, talking about who you chose Robin to marry isn't really much of a spoiler.

My Final Smash idea was Rally Spectrum. Basically just an overall stat boost with a rainbow effect and critical hit chance.
