Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

[Pazzo.]

I have a semi related question for yall. What's your most farfetched fire emblem head canon?

I personally think that Miriel has a form of autism... but that's just from me knowing a few autistic people similar to her.

I personally think that Miriel has a form of autism... but that's just from me knowing a few autistic people similar to her.

I was just wondering yesterday why she hasn't been brought up at all (or her son for that matter). Guess she doesn't have any popularity/good stats or something?

Beats me. Her personality wasn't particularity pleasant, and I didn't fill out much of Laurent's supports on my first playthrough.

Yeah, I really didn't think much of Miriel either. She was just kinda there to me and nothing more.

 

[Drakonis]

Used Laurent on my current playthrough, since I wanted to try out more mages and archers. He was pretty good, but he's kinda bland Support wise. He's mostly the straight thinking man from what I saw, but with less of Robin's quirks and more obsessive compulsion.

Miriel always was pretty uninteresting to me.

Kinda missing any directly Robin and/or Smash related topics here today. Anybody got any ideas?

 

[Pazzo.]

With Palutena clearly being OP, we can expect Robin to summon 'you know who' for his jab.

When the end of Radiant Dawn says Ike "left for another world", it was only because no one in western Tellius saw him again. He actually just left for Hatari, possibly because Nailah invited him, possibly because he felt he was needed more there, possibly because after two wars, he wanted to get away from the memories. Eventually, he settled down with some woman who didn't appear in the games. She might or might not have been a laguz.

Related to that, Priam might be a Branded.

And this one isn't mine, but I read somewhere how someone thought Ilyana might be diabetic?

It's actually kind of interesting how Miriel and Laurent are juuust a little different in personality. Miriel is really distant and logical about everything (I've seen a couple people call her a Vulcan >_>), and when her emotions do come out (like in her S supports), she has trouble expressing them. Laurent sounds similar to his mother when he talks, but he's a lot more active in his friends' lives and might care a little too much. Notice how a lot of their C supports start: Miriel usually gets fascinated by something the other person is doing, but Laurent usually butts in and tries to help the other person or give them advice (and also usually gets on their nerves >_>).

Please. None of the newcomers so far look as powerful as Sheik or Bowser so far.

I know that you're just joking, but the only character who doesn't look like an extreme specialist is WFT and perhaps Greninja.

I feel like Miriel and @MorbidAltruism would be best friends on account of their affinity for elevated diction.

 

[Kotor]

I am more surprised to see Gaius associate himself with any food vaguely along the lines of healthy. o.o

Edit - Then again, maybe they have candied chips or something. Mmmm~.

Maybe he heard there would be sweet potatoes there and traveled to great lengths to taste the "sugar coated" potatoes.

She has ocd.

I can take comfort in how the only thing Chrom has going for him now is the leak, and how their is evidence on him being scraped or something.

 

[Hong]

Robin can fix any leak by reclassing to Plumber.

 

[False Sense]

This basically sums up all Smash speculation at this point. All our hopes and dreams are stuffed in that little box.

Hopefully that Ridley missile will leave a dent in Gematsu.

Quick, someone draw Robin in Mario-style overalls!

(What would the Plumber class promotion be, anyway?)

Gods! Everything the Shepherds had tried to do over the course of Awakening was for nothing! Chrom is the true vessel for Grima!

(Am I the only one who's noticed that Chrom's name is misspelled on the box?)

I'm willing to bet that's apart of the joke.

Well, when I posted that, I imagined Robin coming into Smash Bros as a luigified Mario, only not actual Luigi.

I'd figure the promotions for Plumber are all the various powerups Mario has, so we'd have Fire Robin, Cape Robin, Tanuki Robin. idk

 

[AustarusIV]

Has that picture already been posted in the Chrom thread? I'm sure that it'll get a couple of laughs over there.

 

[Saito]

(Am I the only one who's noticed that Chrom's name is misspelled on the box?)

This question got me curious so I did research.

Gamefaqs origins.
Apparently someone misspelled it I would assume during a big argument or something along those lines and now everyone over there calls the guy Chrob probably as an inside joke.

I don't know how I should feel about this.

Oh well, I lol'ed anyway.

I was posting a bit in GameFAQs, so I'm aware that it originated from there. My guess is someone on GameFAQs made the Bomb Shelter pic.

I can take comfort in how the only thing Chrom has going for him now is the leak, and how their is evidence on him being scraped or something.

As far as I'm aware, there's no "evidence" of Chrom being scrapped. However, there have been a couple of teasing hinting that Chrom might not be our rep, but we don't really know what its hinting at truthfully.

The first is Id~Purpose on Arena Ferox.

The second is "And don't worry, Ike can still use Aether."


That's really about it.

 

[Hong]

Half of the people who are still asking for Chrom in the game cannot even spell his name right, anyway.

I still see "Chrome" make his way onto lists with like 30 characters on it. Some people even enunciate it that way.

 

[Delzethin]

So in other news, we overtook the Palutena thread a while back. So even if you count confirmed characters, we're officially #3 on the site.

Wow...sometimes you guys surprise even me!

But we'll never ever surpass the Ridley thread (or K. Rool's), even at this rate.

 

[Saito]

They've had support since before FE:A was made.

Don't worry.

At least we will get in the game.

 

[Delzethin]

Unless, say, a Direct in August were to reveal K. Rool as a newcomer and show footage of Ridley as a boss at the Pyrosphere...

Of course, it'd be better if they just revealed Robin instead. I'm telling you guys, "the scales have been tipped" would go memetic. >_>

How would that be in Robin's favor if that happened?

You're right that the phrase would go memetic, though. The Sal believers would have their heads spinning for weeks.

 

[Hong]

Hm. What if possessed Robin is added to Smash Bros, as a villain to Marth?

Take note how Marth now has the sigil of Naga on his cape in Smash Bros, specifically the one from Awakening (<--- Sakurai has obviously talked with the team thoroughly). Of course Marth in the context of Fire Emblem was over and done with eons before Awakening happened, so he would never have had to respond to Grima, Gangrel, and of course the vessel of Grima himself. Perhaps Marth would follow the sacred charge of the Altean bloodline to vanquish the fel evil once again.

Basically, it would just make for a cool reveal trailer that would serve as some delicious Fire Emblem fanservice, and just look all-around cool for people unfamiliar with the series.

 

[ToothiestAura]

I'm back, my brethren. Did I miss anything good? Or just 40+ pages of filler?

 

[Hong]

Welcome back.

For the most part, not a lot of movesets these days. We've had a fair bit of Awakening love chat, as well as discussing the many reasons why Chrom is not guaranteed.

 

[Drakonis]

Hm. What if possessed Robin is added to Smash Bros, as a villain to Marth?

I' like the basic idea of it but unless they where only presented in the trailer that way, it'd just bug me if the playstyle also was based around possessed Robin. That's not the Robin I like so much.

Also if Robin was shown as evil in the trailer, unless they also had a second meeting style ending to it, people who don't know who Robin is would probably get a wrong picture of the character.

Of course, I have nothing against a taunt and/or victory screen showing evil Robin, it IS part of the character, after all.

 

[Hong]

Well, the trailer could have Ike intervene, and Robin could snap out of it. He is the most perceptive of the three.

 

[Stalkos]

The first is Id~Purpose on Arena Ferox.

The second is "And don't worry, Ike can still use Aether."

Wait, this is serious?! Id~Purpose is a song in Arena Ferox? Why I never heard of this? Then again, most of the footage I have saw doesn't have the original audio of the game on it. But maybe this song is in there too because is one of the most known or to have the most meaning to the players. Or Sakurai purely trolling us.

And yeah this "still use Aether" bothered me for a while too, but Sakurai posts are translated from japanese when he posts isn't it? There is a chance that this may be some kind of mistranslation? Or Sakurai trolling again.

Also, still waiting for the Plumber Robin.

For one thing, Id~Purpose was played way back in the Smash Direct. And yes, it is confirmed, Id~Purpose is one of the two songs in Arena Ferox.

 

[Stalkos]

For one thing, Id~Purpose was played way back in the Smash Direct.

I really didn't associated that the Id~Purpose played on the Trohpy Quiz meant that the music was in the game. But basically, seeing that the 3DS stages have 2 musics per stage, and following the melee criteria, where some stages acted as a home stage for different characters, I could assume that Arena Ferox can act as Robin stage.

So, can I get hyped?

Also, what is the first music of Arena Ferox anyways? Fire Emblem Theme? Duty? Conquest?

Id~Purpose. As far as I'm aware, Id~Purpose is the only known song for the stage right now. They'll have a second song, but based on what I've heard it wasn't in the demo.

 

[False Sense]

I'm no expert on mistranslations, but as long as Sakurai's original comment stated something about Aether returning, then it would basically mean the same thing. And considering it's a short sentence with Aether as the focus, I find it unlikely that it would have been so messed up in the translation process that it would lose its intended meaning. Though I suppose we could always just find someone who can read Japanese and have them translate the original.

Now, about the Id~Purpose matter... I have to wonder why they would choose that song specifically to have on Arena Ferox. First off, the 3DS stages only get two songs each, so I assume they have to be pretty careful about choosing which songs they want to use. Not to mention that it's highly possible that the first song would be a rendition of the main Fire Emblem theme, so that would leave one slot for a song left. So why Id~Purpose? The song itself has no connection to Arena Ferox, so it's not like it's basically required for the stage, and the song happens to be very closely tied to a certain main character in Awakening, so having the song without the character to go with it would be a little awkward. And there's plenty of other great Awakening songs they could use for the stage ("Don't Speak Her Name" comes to mind), so why would they go with Id~Purpose? I can think of two explanations for this:

1.) Sakurai just really liked the song and decided to have it play on Arena Ferox, not caring about how it's the theme song of a character who a number of people wanted in Smash.

2.) Sakurai decided to make Robin a playable character, and chose the song specifically for him/her. After all, it would be a perfect song to use for a reveal trailer.

Naturally I'm leaning towards the second. Why specifically Id~Purpose? Sakurai would KNOW the meaning behind the song, and I'm sure he'd know the proper song to pick. That's the only logical explanation to me. IMO Id~Purpose really does help Robin a lot.

I agree, I think it does help Robin's chances. I mentioned how the song was not "required" for Arena Ferox as it had no real reason to play on the stage. I think if Robin was a playable character, the song would be more necessary to have.

Though wouldn't it be a slap to the face if Chrom is playable and Id~Purpose is the song they use for his reveal trailer?
