Because I'm bored.

I hope there's more to be found as we discover more about Robin. Really digging these throwbacks, the team really goes far and wide to represent FE more truly than before.

Anyway. here we go:I did some research on the weapons used by Robin. All of them are actually recurring in the series, so even people who haven't played Awakening but have played other games in the series might recognize some of his spells and weapons:
Tomes:
Thunder - All Fire Emblem games
Elthunder - Genealogy of the Holy War, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Awakening
Arcthunder - Radiant Dawn, Awakening
Thoron - Shadow Dragon (original), Mystery of the Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Shadow Dragon (remake), New Mystery, Awakening
Arcfire - Radiant Dawn, Awakening
Elwind - Genealogy of the Holy War, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Awakening
Nosferatu - All Fire Emblem games except Shadow Dragon, both original and remake.
Appears as Dark magic in Gaiden, Binding Blade, Blazing Sword, Sacred Stones, and Awakening. Appears as Light magic in Mystery of the Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, and New Mystery.
Swords:
Bronze Sword - Radiant Dawn, Awakening
Levin Sword - Shadow Dragon (original), Gaiden, Mystery of the Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, Shadow Dragon (remake), New Mystery, Awakening
- Seems to be based on the spell-casting animation from the Mage Class in Fire Emblem's GBA-titles, aesthetic-wise.
Cover:
Cover:
- Excalibur's "wind cuts" are used as a basis for Robin's jab.
- The re-occurring large "wave" from FE's wind magic is used as a basis for Elwind-move (Up B): interestingly having Robin fire two of them like the artwork for the tome suggests.
Robin's idle stance is based on the one from Awakening.
The difference now being that Robin has his hands full with a tome and sword. (Also switched the tome's position in hand)
What is also noticeable is how the Robin has the book open most of the time, presumably for shorten his time spellcasting in a fighting turf like Smash Bros. This is took from the aspect of tomes being open when casting a spell.
