The Chibi-Robo for SSB4 Thread!! A little guy with BIG Potential!

[Bradli Wartooth]

I've put in about 5 different ballots for 'ol Chibo, and from different computers so it doesn't look like the same person over and over again.

 

[NeuroticSpirit]

Chibi-Robo is honestly my most wanted character. Easy alternate costumes. The platoon of possible movesets. Even the taunts would be amazing; the yes/no responses and happy point bonus animation. I accepted fate when he wasn't originally in, but DLC has risen my hopes way too high. Chibi-Robo is my favorite game and I'd be crushed if he didn't get in. It's just a matter of getting enough votes. Because honestly it's up to Sakurai's decision and Chibi seems a lot more appealing in a labor sense rather than a third party or indie character.
Jeez I love Chibi-Robo.

 

[fogbadge]

chibi is one of the many characters ive voted for

 

[Swop]

Smash 4 needs less swordsmen and more robots.

Also, a R.O.B. and chibi tag team would look so legit.

 

[Zoljinx]

i love this little guy! i support! would definately love to see him in smash bros.

 

[PreedReve]

I made a moveset for him >3>

Special Mechanic
Chibi-Robo runs off of a battery, hence the power cord he drags. The more energy he has, the more faster and stronger his attacks will be. However, smash attacks and his specials will drain his battery quicker. His battery meter will appear above his damage meter.

Ground
Neutral Attack: Chibi will slap his foes with his claws and head in a three hit combo.
Side Attack: Chibi dives forward, hitting any foe, followed by Telly flying forward, pushing foes backward.
Side Smash Attack: Chibi charges up his water squirter then releases it, pushing foes backward. The longer the charge, the longer the pushing effect lasts.
Up Attack: Chibi reaches upward toward a happy point.
Up Smash Attack: Chibi will charge his Chibi-copter propeller to attack. Can hit multiple times, with the last hit being weaker but having more launch. Enemies above Chibi-Robo will float upward.
Down Attack: Chibi peels a sticker from the ground.
Down Smash Attack: Chibi will scrub the area in front of him with his toothbrush a number of times, each time damaging any foe caught in it. The number of times he scrubs is based on how long the charge was held.

Air
Air Neutral Attack: Chibi will flail in the air.
Air Forward Attack: Chibi will lunge forward with his spoon and will launch foes behind Chibi upon contact.
Air Backward Attack: Telly will lounge, taking Chibi with him.
Air Up Attack: Chibi will reach upward towards a Happy Point.
Air Down Attack: Chibi will use his vaccum cleaner. The vacuum draws nearby foes bellow Chibi closer.

Specials
Neutral
Plug In: Default. When first used, Chibi will grab his power cord. He then can either do one of two things, throw it like a projectile item or use Plug In a second time, to plug himself into the ground. While holding the plug, Chibi will run faster. While plugged into the ground, Chibi will recharge his battery and will be tethered to that spot until he removes his plug or if hit with enough force. Additionally, when used in the air, it will act as a meteor smash.

Plug Dash: Custom 1. Telly pick up Chibi's powercord and drag him in a horizontal line, damaging any foe in the way. The powercord will stick to any non-damaging vertical surface (walls, edges, etc) and will act as a tether/wallstick.

Outlet: Custom 2. Chibi will summon an electrical outlet and plug himself into it. After a few seconds it will dissapear. When used in the air, the outlit will float, acting as a platform that can be used by any of the fighters.

Side
Chibi-Blaster: Default. Chibi shoots small balls of energy forward. Chibi can charge this attack for stronger results and can move while firing/charging. The charge can only be held while the B button is held down but this move cannot be canceled/stored with shielding/dodging. Chibi can charge even when hit.

Chibi-Radar: Custom 1. Chibi will use his radar, locating several hidden trash through out the area. This trash can be used as a projectile weapon by any fighter but they do less damage to the Chibi-Robo that summoned them.

Photo Finder: Custom 2. Chibi will use the Photo Finder to place a random piece of NostalJunk in front of him. NostalJunk will absorb attacks that it them until they are destroyed or fade away. Only one piece of NostalJunk can be out at a time, with the move failing if there is already an existing piece.

Up Special
Chibi-copter: Default. Chibi opens his head to reveal the Chibi-copter, lifting him up and allowing him to float/hover in the air for a few seconds. Any enemy that hits the propeller on the top of Chibi's head will be damaged.

Ladder Utility Bot: Custom 1. Chibi will launch a ladder from his head and quickly climb up it, gaining more height. This can be used in the air and the latter will damage any foe it falls on.

Paper Airplane: Custom 2. Chibi will pull out a large paper airplane and ride it in a horizontal arc. Enemies that get hit by the front of the plane will be damaged.

Down Special
Boom Box: Default. Chibi will fire up his Boom Box, send a pulse out around him, launching foes backward and lightly damaged. This can be charged to increase the strength of the launch. Chibi cannot move while using this move.

Dance Time: Custom 1. Chibi will use his boom box to summon dancing, white flowers. The flowers will damage any foe that gets near them but will not cause them to flinch. The flower will continue to dance as long as Chibi holds this ability.

Chibi-Tots: Custom 2. Chibi will launch Chibi-Tots forward in an arc. When a Chibi-Tot hits a foe, it will latch on it them, continuously damaging them for a few seconds, and fall off. Chibi can charge this for more Chibi-Tots and farther launch.

Final Smash
Summon Giga-Robo: Chibi will summon his predecessor, Giga-Robo to the field and plug himself into it. While plugged into Giga-Robo, Chibi will have unlimited battery power and Giga will copy every move he does. At the end of the smash, Giga will wave good bye to his friend and rocket off, damaging any foes caught in the after burn.

The battery gimmick sounds awesome, I need this, like, right now

 

[Mr. Potatobadger]

A friend of mine came over this weekend. After we got bored of smash after a while, we decided to boot up Chibi Robo, which is my favorite game of all time next to cave story.

While playing, we couldn't help but think Chibi would be an awesome character for smash. There's a ridiculous amount of possibilities for his moveset. It could go so many ways!

Anyways.

I think Chibi has a bigger chance of getting in than any indie game character ever will, even though the Chibi Robo series has sold less than 1 million units as a whole. (Photo finder might have made the Chibi series hit the 1 mil mark) Quote is more recognizable than Chibi, I'm pretty sure.

Also, if there isn't one already, shouldn't we have a thread campaigning for people to vote for Chibi in the ballot? This thread is from like 2012, it isn't exactly fresh by any means.

But it's in the Smash 4 Character Discussion thread, so it's still very visible to the character thread-goers.

 

[Mega Hawlucha]

I forgot Chibi-Robo existed. Oops. I really wanted him in since he appeared in Smash Flash 2, so I suppose its time to support him again.

That amiibo tho <3

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I'm happy that Chibi Robo is getting another game, and it looks really fun. Plus he's getting an amiibo in Japan. Also this new game looks like it may add even more moveset potential to his character.

If he keeps this up he'll be in a great position in the future.

 

[sogeki]

The new game looks sick. Add me to the supporters list!

 

[PWN3]

That new amiibo won me over. Chibi Robo is the most adorable badass not in Smash... Yet.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

If the amiibo comes to the west have fun trying to get a hold of it.

It'll probably make the Shulk amiibo look as plentiful as a Mario amiibo.

 

[fogbadge]

i hope the new game and amiibo come out here

it looks so cool to thrash enemies with the plug

 

[Zoljinx]

just saw the direct. and the only things that interested me was Yoshi's Wooly world, Chibi-Robo, and the announcement of a new Rhythm Heaven (maybe? they only showed a logo that looked like it was rhythm heaven, but i don't know.)

that Amiibo is something i need in my life...

 

[Arcadenik]

Well, now that I have seen Chibi-Robo in a side-scrolling adventure game (finally), I think I want him in Smash. What a surprise. And that amiibo... I must have it! I hope it comes to North America. Add me to the supporters.

Chibi-Robo now joins my list of unrepresented franchises that are most likely to get playable characters (in my opinion) in SSB5. The other franchises are Splatoon (Inkling), Rhythm Heaven (Chorus Kids), StreetPass Mii Plaza (Wandering Heroes, The Mysterious Murasame Castle (Takamaru), and Pushmo (Mallo).

Wasn't a new Rhythm Heaven confirmed a while back?

Also yay Chibi Robo, hopefully this new game gets enough attention that people start voting for him

 

[SmashShadow]

Nice to see Chibi-Robo getting some love again. I doubt he'll make it as DLC but I'd love to see him in the next game if/when that happens.

 

[slambros]

I think I'm already on the support list, but the direct reinstates that Chibi-Robo should be in smash. (Honestly, if he doesn't quite make it for DLC, he's a shoe-in for Smash 5. Shoe-in.)

If I'm not on that support list, please add me. I support wholeheartedly.

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

I've always supported Chibi-Robo since I grew up with his first game on the GameCube (thanks to my sister). I love the new 2D platformer stlye they are going with for the new game. Also I really want that Amiibo. Add me to the supporters list.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Is this a retail game, I'm just wondering.

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Hopefully it is.

 

[fogbadge]

yeah it was its out soon in japan

 

[TheDarkKnightNoivern]

yeah it was its out soon in japan

Oh cool, never played it, I might give it a shot if it releases worldwide

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Guys Chibi-Robo is totally going to use the whip he has in Smash if he gets in and if he does I hope Drake Redcrest is an AT.

 

[smileMasky]

did you guys see his amiibo and new game? it's so cool and adorable. also though this may not apply here but I have used him ssf2 his move set feels a bit meh in that game IDK if it's just me but I would like to see a more polished move set for him

 

[FancySmash]

I've been nominating Chibi-Robo alongside Meowth in the Rate Their Chances thread for some time now, go ahead and add me as a supporter.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Nintendo, PLEASE bring this game to the West along with Style Savvy 3! I need more pint sized helper robots in my life and Smash Flash 2 isn't good enough at the moment.

I want to go to GameStop and buy Style Savvy. Then everyone will look at me strange and I'll be like "Its for me."

Also Chibi Robo amiibo for anyone thats not seen (why haven't u seen it)

 

[Bradli Wartooth]

All these people who show up when a new game gets announced. Hahaha. Support pouring in is always nice, though!

Well I've been supporting Chibi Robo for a while (he was even on my first SSB4 Roster). I just haven't been on this thread.

 

[Zoljinx]

i was already on the support list before the new game came out. i even had made a moveset during Brawl speculation, (not on this forum and probably lost to time at this point.) i absolutely love him and his series, there just wasn't much left to discuss until the new game/amiibo was announced.

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Do you guys think they'll make more amiibo for that game. I'd love a Telly Vision amiibo and for him to return in the new game.

 

[SpaceJell0]

His recent new game announcement has me hyped! I supported him preSm4sh and I still do, no matter how unlikely he is.

 

[SmashChu]

I'm wondering if they are making this game to try and make Chibi Robo appeal to a wider audience. The series has not been very successful. Even this support thread is very small. I'm wondering if the move to a side scrolling game and an amiibo are trying to move the series in a new direction to try and make it more successful.

That's what I thought. Change the style, keep the character. They could've made an entirely different IP for a side scroller, but they chose to stick to an existing one who has never been in a game even similar to this. They're clearly trying to reach new people.

I'm hoping they utilize other Chibi tools and not just the plug. It could be a great new platformer.

I hope they have the normal Chibi Robo style of games for home consoles while testing different genres with portable systems, which they seem to be doing.

Too bad we haven't seen a home console game since the original game. That's probably why it was the best one in the series. It's a shame they probably can't afford to make home console games, much like Intelligent Systems and Fire Emblem. The return is not worth the effort put forth.

 

[StormC]

I have to admit, that trailer definitely got me interested in the character. That Amiibo is to die for.

If not as DLC, it'd be great to see Chibi-Robo in 5mash.
