Seeing how each Smash game adds its fair share of new franchises, I don't think it's too far-fetched to think that at least one new franchise will be added in addition to Splatoon and, with pretty much all of the big Nintendo franchises already in, I do think smaller franchises might get a chance to the spotlight, including Chibi-Robo.
While I've never played any Chibi-Robo game, I've always liked the little guy's design and I'd love to see him become playable eventually! I'd love to be added to that support list if possible!

In my dream of dreams, Chibi-Robo is picked as the one non-popular/ballot character to be added into the game. I know he's not the most popular (Unfortunately this thread proves it with how inactive things are and the fact he almost never gets mentioned in other threads/newcomer predictions/dream rosters, etc), but damn if the little man doesn't deserve a spot in Smash. Note, I'm not saying there can't be more than one non popular/ballot character, but I really only expect one.
I know the Chibi-Robo praise the sun was just for Dark Souls Remastered coming to Switch, but I still can't get over the fact that he's such a specific choice to use as a character in that promotion. A burning symbol with Chibi-Robo, literally any other situation would have pointed to him as a Smash character. I think his chances are ever so slightly helped by the fact that he was receiving a sort of revival at the time the roster was being decided with Photo-Finder in 2014, and Zip Lash along with his Amiibo following suit in 2015. Regardless of the quality of those games, that does position him as one of the few characters that fit the "relevant" crowd's ideas for newcomers. That might have also been enough to put him on Sakurai's radar, because seriously, he has NO representation in Smash despite having 5 games at this point. Even Starfy is at least an assist trophy...

Sorry that quote always made me laugh. If you know TheBitBlock he’s actually a huge Chibi-Robo fan who hates Nintendo’s mismanagement of the series. He can be.....Harsh, to say the least, with how brutally honest he is when it comes to Nintendo’s problems.
well yes he could be treated better, but i think there are those at nintendo have a small place in their hearts for him

Chibi-Robo has been my most wanted character ever since before Brawl was released. I'm afraid I'm not too optimistic about his chances, but you never know.
I've played every game in the series except for the Japan-only third one, and while the first is definitely the best one, I've enjoyed them all.
My idea for how he would play is something that would require careful balancing in order to keep him from being too over- or under-powered, but if it's done right, I think it could make a fun character.
In the most of games, Chibi-Robo's battery doubles as his health meter, so when he takes damage, it comes out of that same battery meter. My idea to translate this over into Smash would be to make Chibi-Robo constantly take damage, sort of like Lip's Stick's effect, though not necessarily at the same rate. Walking, jumping or attacking would cause him to take damage even more quickly. However, for his down B move, he would pick up his plug and plug it into the ground. Now, as long as he's plugged in, instead of taking damage, he's healed at a steady rate instead. However, being plugged in would leave him tethered to that one spot, so he wouldn't be able to go very far without unplugging, leaving him somewhat vulnerable.
As I said, though, that could be a little difficult to get the balancing right, but I think it could work.

its an idea that has been suggested a few times i think but i think the balancing would be far to difficult

Although I've only played a bit of Chibi-Robo on GameCube, I'd love for him to join smash. He could have an interesting moveset and is from a series not yet represented with a fighter, which is a plus in my book. I don't expect him, but it would be a nice surprise. I'd like to be added as well.
ok you are added, welcome

So ummm bump. I was looking for some Chibi Robo Smash stuff and saw this:
made by a guy that goes by evilwaluigi on Deviantart
I think it looks pretty cool, I love the alts. I still think CR should be in Smash.

Moreso it's just the fact that this game is all about fanservice. We're getting a bunch of the changes and characters people have been asking for over the past decade. Chibi-Robo isn't popular enough to warrant the attention when that's the goal. Geno, Skull Kid, and Isaac are my top three predictions right now for who the last newcomers in the base game will be.
It's possible it might happen in a later game if Sakurai is working on it, given his record for picking somewhat obscure characters. Chibi-Robo is a possibility under those circumstances, but just not for Ultimate.

Add me! I've never played a Chibi-Robo game, but his design is just so adorable and I wished the series fared better, each revival it gets is just poorly done and it's so disheartening. He deserves so much better!
And hey, if they can make stuff like Pikmin and Fire Emblem become some of their best sellers with extra effort and love, then they can do so with Chibi-Robo!

yeah it would have been nice if became an assist trophy at least maybe a song from his game, going for the popular choices isnt such a bad thing its just unfortunate that a lot of my characters arent that popular

Imo the third part presence has gotten kinda outta hand. I much preferred the idea of one character per company. Roster getting messy, especially if the Dante rumor turns out to be true.
i havent heard that rumour but im calling fake, i guess with the ballot there was probably loads of third party ideas and thats why we have such a large presence
