Ah, dammit. I am so upset with myself for not sharing this image when Chrom was announced. I completely forgot about it.
Congrats to Chrom fans. (And also fans of Roy's moveset who've never played Roy's game, I suppose!)

With how much hate FE and its characters get from English speaking Smash fans, I'm not even a little surprised.
Well, Chrom may have been the best FE pick in general given 4's treatment of him probably made some more accepting of him. I don't I see too much hate for him. Apathy maybe, but not too much hate.

I think it took until Warriors and now Ultimate before he started losing the "Memetic Loser" label.
People love stories of triumph like that. Of course, once he's finally free, what then?

Peeps though prefer portraying him as about as stupid messup as Luigi is today though. 
Still, makes it more fun for me to pair him with other former Memetic Loser:

Idk if its allowed to be posted here or not, but I figured why not. If not I apologize in advance.
Due to Chrom having more differences than your average echo, as well as Roycord doing very very little with Chrom I decided to, alongside other Chrom players, make a discord specifically for him! We also dont think many roys will play chrom and vice versa and due to their differences wont play all that similarly. So I think having a dedicated server for him is for the best.

Also I am so happy hes finally in. He deserved it.

I really hope the rumor about being able to instantly unlock characters via amiibo turns out to be true. If so, unlocking Chrom will be the first thing I do.

I only want to be able to play as Robin at the start via the amiibo method. I'll be more than happy to unlock the rest of the characters normally.

That's cool dude. I don't have any Amibo but even if I did, I don't think that would be the first thing I would do. There's something satisfying and nostalgic about unlocking your peeps the oldschool way, ya know?

Figured I would share this monstrosity with you guys. The other day I went on the Smash website and the colors on my iPad glitched out, leading to whatever this is.
Jedah confirmed as a Spirits Boss.

Chromrades, something is amiss. Earlier today, Daisy managed to overtake Chrom on the poll in this thread. Luckily, we managed to tie it back up, but we should remain vigilant. Go there and vote for Chrom if you haven't already.
Yes this is very serious business.

Something to bring in that's... interesting on a hindsight:
Chrom's still Robin's Final Smash, it seems.
Imagine if we had to see this incase Robin was back around E3 already.

I think the uncharged Fsmash did about 18-19 damage (bout a percent or so less than Smash 4 Roy's sweetspotted Fsmash)

The Chrom Mii costume is still a thing.
So you can have Robin summon Chrom to beat up Chrom, Chrom Kirby, and The Chrome From The Fire Embull.

Aside from minor animation differences and the lack of sweet/sourspots, nothing aside from perhaps his standard special but there isn't a whole lot of footage of either Roy or Chrom hitting their mark with that so it's hard to tell just how strong they are for now. Seems to just be a quicker charging, weaker version of Roy's though.
Quick charge seems good to me as aside from a shield break, when are you ever going to land a fully charged flare blade?
After a shield break (at like 0% because at later percents they can mash out before the move is fully charged LMAO) and pretty much no other time. It really depends on if Chrom Blade is still powerful enough to be a useful edgeguarding or punish tool, if it retains even a fraction of Flare Blade's power, it will pretty much be strictly an upgrade. Another advantage of Chrom's is that the move can seemingly indefinitely store its charge (more like Quick Draw than Charge Shot) and turn around multiple times while holding its charge which allows you to read and punish rolls. Sadly though, again, almost no footage of either move hitting their marks for obvious reasons so we'll have to test this once the game comes out.
All around seems like a good trade for the power loss so long as it isn't ridiculously weaker. No recoil damage either I'm assuming for what that's worth.
Yeah and if you get a shield break you can keep spinning around until they're about to recover from the stun and then hit them. Also a bit sad that Chrom's third taunt isn't based on his victory animation from Awakening but maybe he'll have it as a victory animation.
Probably. Then again, I'm jaded from Lucina, so who knows.

He actually does have it as a victory animation. I don't have a video at the moment, but it was during a tournament hosted by Nintendo of Spain today.
Thanks Spain and also Opossum

I managed to track down the video of the match. Right at the end you see the victory pose.
I hope he says "well fought" or I guess anything from Awakening, really nice to see it either way. By the way, I've heard that his up special has super armor like Ike's, anyone seen footage of that? Oh and one more thing, Zelda and Ness have been seen with new victory themes, which likely applies to everyone else from their series. Which means it's likely that every series will be getting a new victory fanfare. Just a small detail.
New as in, different from the E3 build? Interesting.
Yeah, seems like those were placeholders (with the exception of those who had entirely new/derivative fanfare to begin with like Ridley) which makes me wonder if characters whose voices have been recycled since Brawl were also placeholders. In this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eA5b9jwxk-8 you can hear Zelda's new fanfare. Not entirely audible over the voices, but you can hear enough that it's noticeably different. I'll try to find a match that actually shows the victory screen with a Fire Emblem character but those are rare.
I know the Corrins have a Fates one.
Don't get my hopes up for new Lucina lines, please.
Roy and Mewtwo seem to have the same fanfare as before. Perhaps fanfare will differ on a character-to-character basis rather than strictly on series. And yeah I wouldn't get my hopes up for Lucina considering how much her animations didn't change.
Ideally, yes, every fighter gets a unique victory theme, but I doubt it.
Also, yes, and today I am oddly angry about that. Like, more than usual.
