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

[Welshy91]

Grats guys. The only reason I'm not incredibly pissed he's in is because it smashes the Sal Romano leaks, especially since he specifically said Shulk would be revealed today.

 

[Mendelsin]

TIME TO TIP THE SCALES!
THREE FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTERS AND CAPTAIN FALCON?!
NOW THAT'S STRATEGY SAKURAI

 

[Luminario]

(except for lucina and default male robin)
seriously guys theres so much activity I can barely get on smashboards or the official site. LOOK AT ALL THIS HYPE I LOVE IT!

 

[sunfallSeraph]

IT'S HAPPENING. LUCINA. ROBIN M AND F. GEMATSU GETS REKT. CHROM WAS RIGHT AND ANYTHING CAN CHANGE.

 

[IronFish]

gemastu debunked!

 

[L. Lawliet]

Congrats fellas. i'll be tipping the scales in battle with robin. looks like a really cool mage character

 

[ToothiestAura]

Wow, that trailer was just mean to Chrom fans. Whatever, we win. Captain Falcon was too much.

Also, interesting mechanic. The spells are limited in use.

 

[JaidynReiman]

Guys, for everyone thinking we got 5 FE reps:

Look at the website. Only Lucina and Robin were added. Lucina is an alt of Marth and Chrom is part of Robin's Final Smash. Robin is the only REAL new character announced her. Still, THIS IS AWESOME! I mean, everyone was SO SURE it was Shulk. Doesn't mean Shulk isn't in, but damn, this kills Gematsu. I seriously did NOT expect to see an FE rep today!

 

[Sqa$]

Congrats for you guys for hanging through it all and getting what you guys wanted. I like it a lot, personally, just never thought it would happen. Man was I wrong, but definitely NOT disappointed! I hope to see a little more Lucina just to see how she plays since the video focused on Robin for most of it. Love it, guys, hype train to here.

 

[Pokechu]

WE KILLED CHROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES

VICTORY IS OURS

WE KILLED CHROM SO HARD

EVEN INTELLEGENT SYSTEMS HAS US COVERED FOR THAT

GG CHROM NO SLOT FOR YOU

 

[Snagrio]

Gemastu is dead! Praise oh mighty Robin and Lucina!!!

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

SUCK IT GEMASTU!!!!!!

You know what I find funny about this?
Both Robin and Lucina are playable...
But not Chrom so the last leak was fake?

 

[AustarusIV]

YES GUYS YES

WE DID IT

WE ****ING DID IT

I HAVENT BEEN HYPED LIKE THIS SINCE LITTLE MAC

SUCK IT GEMATSU

 

[FalKoopa]

YAHOO!

Congrats, people! WE DID IT!!!!!

 

[Weeman]

Hong must be flippin' right now

 

[DrRiceBoy]

YESSSSSSSS

ROBIN AND LUCINA CONFIRMED ON THE SAME DAY

I'm crying right now...

 

[Stalkos]

No CHROM JUST LUCINA! **** YEAH!

He is a very nice alt skin with own audio and everything. That's enough for him!

 

[Saltwater Gem]

Congratulations guys!

I checked this thread a while back to see what Robin was all about when the idea of yet one more bland swordsman seemed miserable and I was an immediate convert. Glad to see Robin in the game and glad to see that everyone has a shot!

 

[IronFish]

He is a very nice alt skin with own audio and everything. That's enough for him!

nah he's Robin's final smash

 

[Pokechu]

We did it! When the trailer played I immediately thought "Chrom. *sigh* gg robin fans, maybe another time."

Honestly, though. I sorta feel bad for the Chromers. When he said "maybe I'll get my chance another day" I was expecting a tagline like "CHROM AWAKENS!", but nope. Final Smash. Not even an alt for Ike.

 

[SSBCandidates]

I wonder if we can modify its looks to look like our in-game Avatar.

 

[Reila]

I am so happy ;_______;

I had lost any hopes for Robin playable, but she was confirmed (I will refer to Robin as she, since I will play the female variation).

She looks so good ;_;

 

[Drakonis]

**** YES!

Robin playable. Lucina in, possibly as a Marth clone. Chrom Final Smash for Robin. Leak debunked. Germany world cup winner. I got a Job. Everything is right in the world.

We made it guys. And we killed Smashboards for a while in doing so, at least on my end :D
Also thanks to all the people who come in here to congratulate us :3 Also grats to all Lucina fans who read this.

 

[Platsy]

Congrats to all of you guys! I'm super excited for Robin myself. I've always been a fan of book spellcasters.

 

[Sheddy]

I will say as a huge shulk supporter I was hoping for him but robin was my 2nd hope and so congrats guys on getting your character in hopefully the monado wielder will get his chance to shine another time

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Sad for Shulk. (I still believe!)

However I'm absolutely thrilled to see Robin in. I really thought Chrom had won the battle. I'm flabbergasted.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

WOW I....I just...WOW. That was something else.

Congrats guys!

 

[Hokori]

Remember how we talked about how funny the trailer could end up being...That ending...

HILARIOUS! Will be watching several times throughout the day.

This little community of ours stuck things out and we finally got what we wanted.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Robin tipped the scales indeed.

 

[Reila]

There aren't many good pictures of Robin yet, but I think this one will do for the time being.

 

[Deleted member]

And just as I said yesterday that I would support Robin, this happens!
ANYTHING CAN CHANGE, CHROM! THE SCALES HAVE BEEN TIPPED IN THE TACTICIAN'S FAVOR!
I am disappointed that Shulk wasn't confirmed, but I have a large amount of faith that he's playable.

 

[AustarusIV]

HA REAL LIFE HAS JUST IMITATED THE ENDING TO AWAKENING

Hope will never die, indeed!

 

[leprechaunlink727]

I'm not gonna lie, this is one of those characters I always thought had no chance, but congratulations! Quite a pleasant surprise.

 

[Furil]

Robin was my second most wanted newcomer, so I'm soooo happy s/he managed to actually make it in! :D
...but not my most wanted newcomer, the Chorus Men, are looking a bit shaky.

 

[IronFish]

I'm a little glad they went with male Robin in the trailer so they teased MRobinXLucina

 

[SethTheMage]

Well, THAT was certainly unexpected. O.O Totally on board with having Robin to represent FE mages. Congrats, guys! Robin might become one of my mains, since I'm a big fan of mages (as my name implies; I actually named my avatar Seth in Awakening). I think this is better than I could have imagined. The deconfirmation of Chrom is also a very interesting development indeed. I wonder if people will still treat Gematsu as law now...

 

[Banjodorf]

Good god! Congrats guys, I didn't think this day would come!

I think I might even make FemRobin one of my mains, since I was always somewhat hoping she'd make it.

Holy **** though. Today was definitely Fire EmbleMonday.

Edit: Also, is that Jin Kisaragi I'm hearing from Robin? ...Excellent.

 

[MasterMushroom]

THE ENTIRE INTERNET EXPLODED
SAKURAI KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING
ALL HAIL BASED GOD, SAKURAI
OH MY GOD
EVEN THE PEOPLE IN JAPAN ARE GOING NUTS WITH ENTHUSIASM
I CANT BELIEVE IT

 

[Reila]

Also, Sakurai once again spoiled stuff from other games in a newcomer video.

 

[Kymnosk]

Watch Nintendo be behind the gematsu link

They did it so that people could get hyped by possible getting Pacman and Little Mac, and once that was confirmed, the next one was fake so that people would be more excited about the characters not included.

Also I find Robin really cool... even though I never even heard about him
