Only one I care about remotely is Roy, and that's technically not a newcomer.Stop being frivolous, you know he means FE newcomer.
True. In all honesty, I forgot about it when writing the list, haha. The glowing Falchion taunt can definitely leave in its place, haha.I don't know about that. I really liked Niko Mar's "Now I'm angry!"
I think its very likely. Little mac came two months after rosalina, that would put the next reveal in april. Plus its a significant month for fire emblem awakening itself.Not meaning to double-post, but I just wanted to inform everyone that the OP has gone through a few changes, so hopefully there will be little to no typos now.
That being said, anyone else think we may get Chrom in April?
Good stuff! Don't forget to take out the quote tags from my moveset so that it stops getting truncated.Not meaning to double-post, but I just wanted to inform everyone that the OP has gone through a few changes, so hopefully there will be little to no typos now.

Consider it done!Good stuff! Don't forget to take out the quote tags from my moveset so that it stops getting truncated.
You're doing it wrong.
I'll just leave this here for the Chrom supporters.
Of course someone made that a thing...You're doing it wrong.
The Fire Emblem fanbase in a nutshell.Of course someone made that a thing...
Oh, I would have plenty of renditions I would like to post, though I am not sure how well it would check up with the forum Code of Conduct.Of course someone made that a thing...
Hong said:Chronology of Awakening fan opinion
Pre-Awakening Release:
"Who's that? Is he the new main character? KROM FOR SM4SH!"
Awakening Release:
"Whoa, Chrom is cool. CHROM FOR SM4SH"
A month later after everyone has beaten the game:
"Lucina is cool. LUCINA FOR SM4SH!
But isn't she like Marth?"
Post Smash 4 E3 Reveal:
"Can't wait until CHROM IS REVEALED."
A few months later:
"So... How will Chrom play?
..."
Now:
"ROBIN FOR SM4SH!"
"Micaiah enchants the battlefield!"Maybe people should just take a step back, going off that thing Xenoblaze quoted and ask "Do we really need another Fire Emblem rep who uses a sword?
The game has so many different classes, that it almost makes the game seem like **** when all you put in is blue haired pretty boys/or red on occasion with swords.
The game is so diverse, I think they should start showing it.
Remember the Chrom's exalted asspad guys?Oh, I would have plenty of renditions I would like to post, though I am not sure how well it would check up with the forum Code of Conduct.
In some form or another, yeah.chrom is probably in smash!
Stop being me please.Tacky Tomato
Yes, exactly that.What I could make out of that is Takamaru.
Here's how I imagine Chrom's Up Special:So here it is! I finally composed my moveset for Chrom. Guess you could say, it goes beyond just saying that I support him, especially with some of the more noisome arguments that come out of his support base. I'd appreciate it if you would archive it in the OP as well as critique it and tell me if there's anything I missed. After all, with your input, I may very well tweak some things:
[collapse=Captain Hotcakes' Moveset for Chrom]
Playstyle: Chrom is a mid weight rush down fighter who specializes in closing space and creating space for himself. He can weave in and out of fights as he pleases with the maneuvers of his Neutral Special and Up Special. He can also put you where he wants with an additional function of his Down Special. While he's no Marth, his attacks are quick and powerful for pressuring opponents.
Special Moves
Neutral Special - Leaping Slash
Chrom holds out his Falchion for a charge. When he releases the charge, he will jump forward in an arc that becomes longer with charge and do an overhead slash. The longer he charges, the farther he jumps and the less transparent a glow of blue flames will be on his Falchion.
Instant (w/o charge): Chrom jumps a space right in front of himself. The arc is parabolic and takes no more than a second to execute.
½ charge: Chrom jumps in an arc roughly two Stage Builder blocks in front of himself.
¾ charge: Chrom jumps in an arc roughly four Stage Builder blocks in front of himself.
Full charge: Chrom will jump roughly half the length of Final Destination. The arc will be high enough that large projectiles can be avoided during the jump.
Additionally, at any point during the jump, Chrom can end it by falling with his sword raised out. You can do this by pressing down and the attack button.
Chrom occasionally does this attack in Fire Emblem: Awakening, usually when at a fair distance, critically striking, and in the Fire Emblem: Awakening Puzzle Swap panel and the cutscene where he fights Lucina.
Side Special - Dual Strike+
Chrom does a downward diagonal slash before bounding forward and drawing another slash back. His Falchion glows with blue flames as he slashes. Both strikes cannot be cancelled, but the speed into the second slash can be executed quicker by tilting forward and pressing special button again.
> Aether
If the second slash is done during a short point of frames in the animation, Chrom will swing his Falchion to hold it overhead with both hands and slashing forward with reddish-orange flames. It has knockback and will hit with a sparkling effect that glows bright before fading out along with the lifesteal sound when Aether hits in Awakening. Chrom can transfer his damage from 5%-8% between him and heal for the same amount from the opponent’s damage he hits.
Dual Strike+ is an ability first learned in the Lord class which premiered in Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Aether is an ability learn by Great Lords at Level 5 in Awakening and by the Occult Scroll to Lords and Heroes in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the game it was introduced in. It alternates the effects of the Sol and Luna skills by a percentage of the enemy’s Skill stat. It’s iconicity to the Super Smash Bros. series is as Ike’s Up Special in Brawl.
Up Special - Javelin Carousel
Chrom takes out a javelin, rapidly spinning its handle overhead. Upon startup, Chrom will be suspended in place for a second before coptering up. The javelin is only an inch bigger on both sides than Chrom horizontally. Chrom holds out the javelin until he makes contact with a ledge, surface, or does an aerial or special attack.
> Attack Button + Left/Right/Down while tilting: Javelin Toss
Chrom throws his javelin to his left side, right side, or below him depending on the direction the control stick is held along with the attack button. The javelin travels in a straight path, continually curving downwards the more distance it gets. It causes knockback upon hit.
> Attack Button + Left/Right/Down while holding: Javelin Lunge
Chrom lunges to his left side, right side, or below him with his javelin pointing out.
Once Chrom promotes to Great Lord (or Paladin for that matter), he gains the ability to use Lances. Javelins are lances which can attack at either close or at distance. Being the first lord in the Smash series to use an alternate weapon other than a sword, this would differentiate him a fair bit.
Down Special - Counter
“Think again!”, “Have another!”
Chrom blocks in front of him with the Fire Emblem. If he is hit, he performs an obtuse slash from above his shoulder to in front of him in the direction he was hit.
Every Fire Emblem character featured in Smash so far has a Counter as their Down Special, where they respond after being hit by an attack with another. Furthermore, the slash arc and direction vary from lord to lord.
The eponymous Fire Emblem is a mythical object that takes many forms depending on the game it is featured in like a MacGuffin. In Awakening, it takes the form of a shield used as the crest for the Ylissean royal family which has six beads containing the elemental powers of Naga.
Final Smash - Fate of Falchions
“Now…”
Chrom raises his Falchion over his head as it glows with blue flames. He then does a massive dashing slash forward at a medium length. This Final Smash activates when it makes contact with an opponent, where they are suspended in blue haze before Chrom.
A rift portal (the one in the second cutscene of Awakening) opens above the space over the opposite end of Chrom before closing, where Lucina in her Masked Marth outfit drops down.
“As one!”
Chrom and Lucina perform a volley of fierce, blue flaming slashes, doing so while they rotate around the opponent and other opponents who contact them (like Link‘s Triforce Slash.) After 8 seconds, Chrom and Lucina draw their Falchions by their sides before slashing across in a blue glowing X, causing massive damage and knockback to the opponent and whoever else is caught in it. They land precisely with Lucina saluting in with a bow of her head and a hand over her chest before fading away in a blue flicker.
Chrom and Lucina are pitted in a rivalry of sorts in the early chapters of Awakening. They share a father-daughter relationship and both wield the Falchion, although from different periods of time. Their united sword combo is reminiscent of a scene in the Awakening intro movie where they are briefly shown fencing swords. I guess you can consider her cameo as a “consolation prize” to her fans if she isn’t included in the game.
Grapples
Pummel: Chrom knees his opponent to where the shin should be.
Down Throw - Pair Up > Assist/Guard
A nod to the Pair Up system introduced in his game (although not necessarily in the same function,) Chrom shoves his opponent behind his side, where they will be suspended in stuttering idle and walk animations as they are paired. The opponent will follow Chrom a certain distance for 4 seconds before regaining control of themselves or when Chrom moves too far away for them to keep following. Chrom cannot do any other action besides ground movement until he “throws” the character by tilting the control stick where they will dash before him and take damage from any attack in that direction or tilting the control stick plus the attack button, where they will do the first hit in their Jab.
Forward Throw: Chrom quickly winds his arm back before tossing his opponent forward.
Back Throw: Chrom backhand tosses his opponent.
Up Throw: Chrom quickly winds his arm below him before tossing his opponent above him.
Standard Attacks
Jab: Chrom delivers a forward slash, then swiping back diagonally upwards before sweeping his opponent off his feet with a two-hand diagonal downward slash.
Dash: Chrom does a wide forward slash that reaches out before going across his shoulder.
Forward Tilt: Chrom draws out the tip of his Falchion for a quick thrust.
Up Tilt: Chrom slashes a quick arc above his head.
Down Tilt: Chrom stabs his Falchion towards where the feet should be on the opponent.
Forward Smash: Chrom holds his Falchion behind him before slashing above him in a wide arc and brings in down in his direction.
Up Smash: Chrom crouches before hoping up for a fierce uppercut slash, revolving slightly in the air before regaining footing.
Down Smash: Chrom sweeps his Falchion below him, then behind him.
Get Up: Chrom slashes his Falchion around him as he gets to his feet.
Ledge: Chrom lunges the tip of his Falchion forward.
Aerial Attacks
Neutral Air: Chrom crouches as he holds his Falchion out and spins his body a few times.
Side Air: Chrom slashes in front of him, turning around briefly.
Back Air: Chrom jabs with his other hands before thrusting his Falchion behind him.
Up Air: Chrom does an uppercut slash in a wide arc.
Down Air: Chrom stabs the Falchion down between his legs, falling towards the bottom of the stage for a second. Gains fair distance and can spike if whipped out during the startup frames.
Taunts
Up Taunt: Chrom bows as he puts the jewel in the handle of the Falchion before his left eye as he closes them solemnly. The symbol of the Ylissean royal family puffs out in blue flames before Chrom draws the sword to its default stance.
Side Taunt: Chrom steps forward as he extends the Falchion outward, saying “Anything can change!” before spinning Falchion by the handle back to his side.
Down Taunt: Chrom stabs Falchion into the ground, places both hands on the handle, and kneels down facing the screen, saying “My strength is yours.” as if he is speaking to the player.[/collapse]
I still have an extreme confidence that Chrom will be the next newcomer revealed. I had the same feeling for Little Mac before his reveal (but of course I only posted about it in the Smashcast skype chat ).I'm still personally banking on April for Chrom. I think Ike would probably be shown later, like, closer to launch.
But I like using silly food-related nicknames. What's wrong with me using them?Yes, exactly that.
I'm the one that normally make name mocking nicknames. Hence why I was the one that coined the nickname Corn.
Because then you'll become my archerival and we'll engage in gentlemanly duels.But I like using silly food-related nicknames. What's wrong with me using them?
