Female Robin is best waifu.

[NACL20XX]

Sorry, I just had to say it. Admittedly, she was the reason why I got interested in Awakening (I was already interested in FE because of Marth (my all-time favorite until Robin) but Shadow Dragon killed my interest back when I was 10), which got me interested in the rest of the series. Just finished Blazing Sword (and now I want Lyn and Hector for DLC ) and started Radiant Dawn.

I know that in Awakening that she's just a player avatar and is meant more to just be an audience surrogate. But in Smash, I LOVE HER. Aside from having my favorite movesets in the series, design-wise, she has a super cute face, all of her hair colors look nice, and she has the best hair style (THOSE TWINTAILS ARE THE BEST). Even if you took away the super ficial properties (i.e. lol shes mai waif cuz shes super hot), I love her personality. Again, I know that edshe's an avatar that is supposed to not really have much of a personality, but I think they did her just right in Smash 4. The cocky personality is both cute and awesome. Also (but this is just an appeal to me), she's the closest thing in this series to a complete nerd/gamer/otaku/blahblah. Her last appeal to me is that she is voiced by two of my favorite female voice actresses: Michelle Ruff and Wendee Lee. I was bummed when Michelle couldn't make this game, but not-Michelle Ruff (Lauren Linda) did a surprisingly good impression, so I don't have too many problems.

Sorry about the creeper post, but Radiant Dawn on Hard mode is the most frustrating experience that I've ever been through. In my opinion, Female Robin is underrated and should get more appreciation rather than the overrated Zero Skill Spamus, whose only advantage over everybody else is the fanservice.

You try to insult a character fighter for her fanservice and obsess over a character from a fanservicey game?

OK, I apologize for my hypocritical statement. I was tired and frustrated. I'll also admit my massive bias towards Fire Emblem, because one, I played through 2 and a half games in this long RPG series while I've barely played about 20 minutes of Metroid Prime, and 2, I despise both versions of Samus in any Smash game while 3 of the 5 Fire Emblem reps are in my top 10 favorite characters.
One last thing. I honestly don't really agree with the internet's general view of Awakening. I personally don't think that it's really as fanservicy as everyone says it is. Aside from the optional Beach DLC, the fanservice is kept to a minimum. I'll just leave it at that because I don't want this to be an essay long comment response and for you to Tl;DR this.

Tl;Dr: I'm sorry about my statement but I respectfully disagree with your statement.

ur waifu is bad and u should feel bad

EDIT: Also, I don't really see why she's an "otaku" like you said. Bookwormish? Yes. Pretty cute? Sure. Deserves more attention than ZSS? Debatable, considering how ZSS is really good compared to Robin imo, but Robin definitely deserves more attention than she gets.

Overly obsessive about anime and all that jazz? Nah.

OP probably could use a Robin dakimakura in the near future.

@ Raziek , you may want to sort this out.

@ Wintropy I think this may technically be on-topic for the forum? o_o

Well regardless, I would definitely buy a Robin dakimakura.

I was more so insinuating that this could turn out to be very ugly very quickly.

Just seems like something more suitable for the social thread.

Yeah this.... doesn't really need to be its own thread.

Feel free to take this discussion to the social thread, but if you do, keep it civil.
