There's going to be events in NA that have the full roster available. Probably going to see it then.

There's always hope that someone else will do it, but the Robins don't seem to be most people's first choice when you get only one or two plays.

If only they had been at E3. I did play that demo so I could have at least tried. Instead I used Ridley and Ganondorf.

Welp, it looks like he isn't getting a new one... this is slightly awkward... happens at around 1:57

What if Chrom (if it’s really him) is only replaced when he’s in battle?

If they replace him with someone, that'd be fantastic, but I'm not optimistic...
It definitely is optimism being used. Only other way Chrom pulling double duty makes sense is if they somehow pull a FEH excuse on us

Clearly this is part of Sakurai's apology for not including Chrom in 4. Now he's in the game twice as much!

This is indeed strange. I second the notion that Robin has missed the chopping block for some additional tweaking time.

I'm rather disappointed that they use Robin's render as the cut-in instead of the one from Awakening, but I suppose it makes sense what with all the alternate costumes.

I was personally thinking they'd pull an Outrealms excuse instead of an FEH one, but we'll just have to wait and hear their explanation for this. If we're getting one at all, that is.

Eh, maybe they all just come from different worlds with each Robin bringing their own Chrom.

Though I can still choose to believe that Lucina and Male Robin are from the same world and his Chrom is the one that got beat up even if I'd like it if Chrom was also from the "prime" world.

They're all toys, and the owner has as many duplicates as he needs to fill out his fantasies. That's really all there is to it in Smash.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Seriously, why can't they let them be real? Though it does make other questions easier perhaps.

So someone can be both a playable fighter and a Final Smash assistant but Assist Trophies can't be fighters in the same game? The rules about who gets in and who doesn't are really confusing.

Maybe that's because they're all fan-made.

That's right... Sakurai never stated an Assist Trophy cant be both playable AND Assist! So it's always a possibility! That means characters like Shadow, Isaac and Skull Kid still has a solid chance! DLC Please!!!

Yeah, this is pretty much the conclusion I came to the moment I saw Chrom as part of Robin's Final Smash. Can't say for certain until we see them in the same fight, though.

Well that frick frackin sucks. Young Link was disappointing, but it really feels like they just forgot about Robin. On the flip side though, from what I can see in the gameplay my main actually is looking pretty good!

At least you don't main Lucina.

So THIS was the thread where we discussed Robin being portrayed more often as a tome user. I was looking all over for it!

There's another point I'd like to bring up on the matter, if you guys don't mind. In Awakening's opening cutscene, there's a quick little scene where Chrom, "Marth", and a Hooded Robin all ready their weapons against Grima. Here, Robin exclusively wields a tome. So... yeah. Just wanted to point that out. Carry on with your day. :p
