Should the Robins be different?

[NACL20XX]

In Fire Emblem Awakening, Male Robin's model is slightly larger and bulkier than Female Robin's. In Smash, they were tweaked to have the exact same sized model to have absolutely no differences gameplay-wise. I kind of wish that they just went with how it is in it's source game. Have Female Robin be slightly smaller (with a smaller hurtbox) and faster while Male Robin is slightly larger, heavier, and slightly stronger. It doesn't have to be a major difference.

Also, for those worrying, pretend that they'll still have the same character slot. There won't be any separation like Dark Pit or Lucina.

I'm fine with them being the same tbh. Also, since male Robin is taller than Lucina in FE:A, but shorter than her in Smash, that means that female Robin was used for the characters proportions and is the official canon Robin. #waifuconfirmed2k15

@ NACL20XX I keep glancing over your pic real quick and always think that female Robin is actually Maka even though I have seen it a lot. On topic (YES) because it would add a little bit more and that's what I want.

That would make them separate characters, which would make 0 sense

It doesn't make sense for them to be different from a gameplay perspective.

Pointless despite the existence of clones in this game. M. Robin and F.Robin are just head swaps with different voices/personality - same body. Gender stereotypes would hurt the balance more.

To be honest, default F!Robin does not have much to brag about (and artists generally fanservice themselves when it comes to fanart).

But to answer the main topic: No. There's no real reason to have them separate since they both go under the same concept for the character (tactical magic swordsman) and are both, strictly speaking, the same character with the same abilities for purposes of Smash.

Linking to a meme site as evidence...right. Well, don't look at me, blame the model designers. You can go ahead and try to imagine F.Robin having breasts in her Smash 4 model though.

Not to make this thread entirely pig-misogynist, but I think they're in there and they very well could be. Breasts have a way of hiding entirely when under layers of heavy fabric. Sure she's no monster like Palu or Samus but I think a C is entirely reasonable. On a somewhat related note I have a friend with DDs that binds them down for cosplay, afterwards you can't even tell they're there. Breasts can be tricky~

They wouldn't be separate. Same character slot but the males would be taller and stronger and the female would be how she is now height yet faster but her attacks do slightly less damage.

With the way she's animated in-game? Sorry, but I don't believe it.

And that runs into the problem of heavily skewing player statistics, hence why the three clones got spots on the roster that was separate from the originals when they began to diverge.

Look, if you really want differences in how the Robins play then let them have separate roster slots. But I'd still not support it for the reason I stated in my previous post.

it's not wrong though, robin is legit flatter than lucina

This topic is not about bust size comparisons, any further posts on the subject will be considered off topic and dealt with accordingly.

While I think it would be cool and unique I don't really care. I just thought you didn't know what @ NACL20XX meant.
