Yeah, I'm sure that Robin would probably get some hate at first, especially since so many people think Chrom is an absolute shoo-in. And the fact that he's not every other character the fan base wants. But I don't think that his inclusion will be met with too much criticism, and I'm sure people will warm up to him, especially if he has a unique playstyle he can obviously pull off.
What's wrong with being a Palutena fan?
It's the fans?
I feel the same with Ridley. I know he's popular and all, but every time I read, "that roster in fake because it doesn't have Ridley in it", I want to pull my hair out. Not every Metriod fan is like that though.
I'd be happy, lean back and wait for the game to come out. Honestly I'd be happy with the newcomer selection if only one of either Robin, Travis Touchdown or Isaac makes it. Since Mega Man is already in and I doubt they'll make any cuts in the returning roster that would bother me I'm pretty much chill and happy with every new character announced.
Here's an idea:
And instead of cutting to the title screen, the newcomer punchline cues followed by of course gameplay with Id/Fire Emblem theme playing.
This, but I also assume the Miiverse reaction will feature a lot of "plz put in (insert character who isn't even remotely eligible here) Sakurai." Although that's just kinda how Miiverse would react to any newcomer.
Ugh, Miiverse........ I've seen people ask for the Powerpuff Girls and Goku which seriously makes me question what these people are thinking.
We've gained a lot of support in the last few months. Which is good, we also have a lot of people sharing ideas, strengthening us as a fanbase. I'd like to say everyone here is now at least friends with each other. As for Robin, the chances are getting higher and higher, but we'll have to wait and see
Any popularity gained around the last couple of months won't affect the roster, considering that it has been finalized a long time ago.
Well, whenever a fighting game comes out that I am remotely interested in, I always joke about Goku being in it. But, uh, I don't understand the PPG thing. It's been said too much to be a joke.
I certainly hope so, but if we get Ike back and a FE newcomer I'll still be happy.
From all we know, development could still take a year. They DO say 2014 and I'd rule out most new IP characters introduced in 2014, too. However, Robin was introduced in 2013 and - for that amount of time - has gained a considerable amount of popularity for a character with only ever vaguely defined sex, facial features and combat style.
Well actually 2012 in Japan, so that gave him more time to become popular, but you do still have a point. How much you wanna bet they'll delay the game at least once?
If Chrono's observations of Japan is anything to go by during 2012-2013, Roy and Chrom are the only characters that got a good amount of Smash requests around that time over there.
I dunno, I've always been wary of that. I mean, Chrono's just one guy, and what all did he look at? Just fan sites like this one? Because that's a pretty small representation of the fan base. Most Smash fans are more casual and don't go on sites like this one anyway.
But the casual fans mostly support Chrom, I believe, because they think he's the only one from Awakening who has a chance.
They mainly support him under the statements that he's the main protagonist and the face of the game, even though in actually the focus is more or less distributed between him, Lucina, and Robin.
Delays seem unlikely since there's no SSE and no character like Sonic to single-handedly delay the game. We've already got Megs, we've got enough. I might expect the 3DS version to get delayed if they can't work out whatever issues they had with it easily (ICE CLIMBERS, but Rosa seems to work so maybe not).
Exactly. They likely haven't even played the game.
Uh, I've heard:
To briefly counter all of these arguments, you can just say this
4) Robin is not Awakening's poster-guy.
That's sort of 2 and 3.
True, but she's just... too Marth. Who is already in.
I think you posted literally everything I hate about Lucina detractors in three lines.
Honestly I wouldn't mind her being in if her animations would be so different that mixing them up mid-match would be impossible.
Which is fine. That's a matter of preference.
Sorry, I really should have worded my text better since I didn't mean to come across like that. Aside from what I already stated in my last post here's what I really wanted to say:
Robin because there's more possibilities for him/her in terms of gameplay. Pretty much the same reason why I'd want Robin over any other FE character.
