Don't get me wrong, Robin's still a big, big fave. Why would I wanna leave behind such big cinnamon roll of tactics and magic that also appeals on my biggest favorite things from FE?
*Snuggles his Robin-amiibo*
However, as you see, when Chrom got de-confirmed and became the massive joke character after that, I think it left me not only salt, but quite "half-empty" with having an FE-char I really wanted to see in Smash since then. Robin appeals to me very much, but again, going to him after a deconfirmation filled with saltiness is definitely different than having bee his supporter all along - like, I liked him, but he was "all I had" - especially when bummed about how Smash-fandom was such a jokesters on Chrom. I would count a lot times where I wish I wanted all FEA-chars be confirmed and, remembered how I was crying for real when it seemed so. Alas...
On Roy, when I became to like him after Project M rejuvenated his potential, it was the time he seemed dead and buried overall and Chrom-jokes ran rampant. It led me quite hate the Smash-fanbase.
Around then, I discovered his personality which I found admirable and strong, and then made plenty friends through him in Tumblr and Deviantart. It then made me become his supporter, and just wonder about possible times. Least I would expect to be thrown on a ride like this.
Figuratively, I had now my own battle like yours after completely losing the last one and having to suffer all the consequences to this day- which had me be left still hole unfilled about having an FE-char I wanted to see in Smash after Chrom, Lyn and whatnot were not in. Roy also being basically deconfirmed/dead despite me getting into him more.
It's easy to be Robin's fan, but Roy-fans were absolutely chivalrous to this day. I got to be one of them after digging deeper to him in my own personal experiences.
Now with Roy being in, two halves are filled for me in FE-chars and I wouldn't be more happier to now have a magic user and a amazing swordsman to use together. I mean, I got into FE throguh FE7 and went then to Awakening, which then would lead me to FE6. So yeah, this is very blissful time for me.
