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

[StaffofSmashing]

I honestly think Style Savvy Girl could be interesting as hell.

I mean seriously. She'd fight using FASHION!

Fabulous!

Virion confirmed.

 

[Hong]

Virion confirmed.

They could also have a Zero Cravat Virion with jet boots as another Fire Emblem rep.

 

[Minato Arisato]

Monday's update:
Pic of the day. Q: "Is that the Falchion?" A: "Yes, indeed, that is the Falchion." The sword from Fire Emblem is now an item. It's a powerful melee weapon, and is rumoured to have once been used to banish the Fel Dragon Grima.

General Forum Responses: RIP CHROM
Robin supporters: YES
Chrom supporter: Um, hello? That's a DIFFERENT FALCHION! Marth has one, too! This means nothing!

This is the song that never ends~

I'll admit I laughed much harder than I should have.

 

[Hong]

If we get another Fire Emblem POTD, the forum is going to lose its collective mind.

Virion would never be caught dead without his cravat.

Watch it be Robin as a collectable trophy.

And then our hype immediately drops flat.

No! That can just be one Robin! She's an avatar character, remember? Maybe one gender is playable, one is a trophy. Maybe it's because Morgan is playable! Huh!

Am I doing denial right?

Your signature goes oddly well with that post...

Why are u so mean

Yes, well, I was quietly cheering the "death" of Pokemon Trainer in Smash...

Why are u so mean

Stuff happened. And now I'm a cynic.

 

[Hong]

I never drew that correlation until now.

No need to cheer quietly near me, friend. We can rejoice together.

I will welcome the chaos.

Perfect. The Ridley thread would be proud.

 

[Hong]

Meloetta = Pokeball because they already have a musical character in mind.

Elphin confirmed.

Sorry, Reyson fans. Laguz are too much like Pokemon, He'll have to be an Assist Trophy.

 

[mimgrim]

So what's going on currently in here?

 

[Yoshi-Thomas]

Robin was deconfirmed so we all cryin'.

 

[Drakonis]

Dawn of the final day (before Nintendo's E3 conference)
-32 hours remain-​

Damn, am I hyped up. Whatever happens, the chances that I'll stay thrilled are high.

As for costumes on Robin I would expect:
Hooded (maybe also split in male and female, depending on how much the models differ)
Male Default
Female Default
Male Grand Master
Female Grand Master

Colours (also determine the hairstyle for non-hooded skins):
Default (black and purple)
Red (enemy unit colour)
Blue (friendly unit colour)
Green (Mark and neutral unit colour)
Lavender (Katarina)
Yes, I stole borrowed that list from Hong.

 

[Hong]

You know what?

The people who are flocking to Robin after Ike was shown and the Matthew Mercer response?

I like it.

Neither of those two things I think should come as a surprise to anyone, but regardless of what happens, it is nice to have more supporters. It just looks nice to see people replacing Chrom on their rosters and stuff with our very own coveted tactician. Don't know about you, but seeing people tout Chrom as a contender, the majority of which know nothing about Fire Emblem, is awful. At least if they genuinely like the character, then I don't mind as much.

Imagine if the fans actually had direct power over the roster... *shudder*

So what's going on currently in here?

I like your avatar.

Largely we are winding down. I still have lots of conversation fodder left, but I try not to post too much of it in one day.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

I wouldn't call Chrom disconfirmed yet.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

I wouldn't call Chrom disconfirmed yet.

Don't be a downer, man...

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Hey, that video was important, you know.

Imagine if the fans actually had direct power over the roster... *shudder*I like your avatar.

What should be expect then?

 

[False Sense]

I wouldn't call Chrom disconfirmed yet.

I don't think anyone was saying Chrom was de-confirmed.

 

[Hong]

What should be expect then?

Can you rephrase that?

You mean what would be expected?

Probably something really boring that absolutely ignores the fact it is a fighting game that is suppose to reflect all of Nintendo's history. An imbalanced mess of no less than 80 characters, with even more bugs and useless specials than Brawl.

Unless you want me to specifically call out characters, which I won't do publicly as no to antagonize the forums more than I already do.

That is what I meant.

 

[Pazzo.]

So, in order to pass the time..

Any ideas for Robin's Taunts?

 

[StaffofSmashing]

Maybe that one thing he does in Awakening... his hand shove thingy he demoes after he kills someone..? I guess it could work as a taunt.

 

[False Sense]

Maybe some of his/her typical victory poses? Like when Robin twirls his/her sword or bows?

 

[IronFish]

Yeah like bowing with a tome to his chest and saying "checkmate" or something

 

[Pazzo.]

'Robin shuts the tome in his hand forcefully while saying 'Checkmate'.'

I like the sound of that...

 

[Baws]

Nintendo E3 is upon us, folks. Prepare yourselves.

So, in order to pass the time..

Any ideas for Robin's Taunts?

The checkmate one is AMAZING. That would be awesome. Another could be doing some sort of pose with Ignis petals swirling around him/her.

24 Hours Later...

Robin flies in like a Robin!
Wow, I suck at that.

Robin tips the scales

 

[Minato Arisato]

I think I've lost all hope for a FE newcomer. I'm in a rut, guys.

I don't know what triggered this, but I'm in a rut, nonetheless.

I haven't lost any hope at all for an FE newcomer. I'm 90% positive we'll get one, I'm just not sure who it will be. I'm about 30% worried it'll be Chrom, 70% optimistic we'll get someone else, and 100% positive I made up all these statistics on the spot.

It's gonna be Robin or Lucina.

 

[Saito]

How come I just learned about this thread?

100/100, has my vote.

Honestly, I think Robin is the character they should use for character customization if that's ever a thing.

Would be 100x better than mii's IMO.

I don't think character customization WILL be a thing, and I don't think Mii's will be playable, either. Robin will probably be represented by the "default" outfit, but can get different hair colors.

It's gonna be Robin or Lucina.

Lucina is better than Chrom, but she still looks like a gender swapped Marth. Even Marth's outfit in this game looks closer to that of Lucina's (honestly I think its a hint that Lucina will be an alt of Marth).

I doubt it.

Yea, I was surprised I found a Robin avi that fits the pink theme I have going on xD.

I doubt this, as Villager has already been shown to have different hairstyles as well. Both genders will definitely get the default size (female will grow a bit to match male's height like WFT), and we may see a hairstyle from each build to represent the customization.
