It was an Awakening reference <_<. I wasn't bashing anyone XD.Let's not bash people please. It's not helping. @ Silverfox117
Anyway, Robin's slow because Nintendo made him slow(even though people wanted him a little faster...he traveled the ****ing world on foot and boat).
But Lucina's fairly fast in spite of that, so...?It's because those aren't legs under that coat! Robin is actually a ****** on magical stilts.
That actually makes sense from a lore perspective!In Awakening canon, Robin isn't a physically fit character. H/she is a book worm that probably never ran in his/her life.
I'm preeeeetty sure that's what Zareidriel and I were referencing with our talk of stilt legs.Could also be the lack of feet.
/gg
You truly are always three steps ahead!I'm preeeeetty sure that's what Zareidriel and I were referencing with our talk of stilt legs.
Just sayin'.
I almost replied with that myself, but decided that it made me sound like too much of a smart***.You truly are always three steps ahead!
Or a Swordmaster.Robin needs to reclass to Assassin
The same way that Toon Link carries all of those bombs and arrows.how could she run fast while carrying all these books and swords
This is probably the answer that is closest to the actual truth.Sakurai overestimated how powerful Robin's kit was, and slowed him down in an attempt to keep him balanced.
Nah, reclass to Sorcerer. Armsthrift + Goetia is broken, no need for speed.Robin needs to reclass to Assassin
I actually went and tested this out yesterday by giving Robin Speed Walker and Sprinter gear while keeping his scores as close to 0/0/0 as I could manage. The 30% speed increase would definitely make Robin an extremely threatening character in the hands of somebody who's more experienced with him than I am.He would probably be kinda op if Nintendo buff his movement speed imo.

I have a replay of this if anybody's interested in seeing it, but my last recording corrupted and I'll have to record it again.
I've edited and uploaded the recording (awful quality, audio out of sync), but I'm not sure whether to put it here or in the video thread, since it's a video that's directly related to something discussed in this topic, rather than a display of ability with the character under normal dircumstances.let the people see
Toon Link.The Robins are carrying two swords and like four heavy *** text books. Let's see you sprint to class like that.
Items don't have weight values in Awakening, but the tactician class (Robin, Morgan, and Robin's second child) has as much Mov as lords (Chrom, Lucina) do, before and after promotion, and you can give them perfectly identical equipment too. So, balance aside, Robin should be about the same speed as Lucina.The Robins are carrying two swords and like four heavy *** text books. Let's see you sprint to class like that.
