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

[~ Valkyrie ~]

I'm sorry my robinites.

I found a new avatar ;_;

I thought it would only be fair that I post my old robin avatar in hopes that someone will claim it.

Putting the source here.

On the other hand, that artist... so much ChromxFeMU-shipping...

EDIT: As much as there'd be different color combinations, I'll rather use the default male one throughout the game. Maybe because Villager already took my fancy already with it's "colors".

I actually think Robin is the best mother for Lucina.

Now, ChromxF!Robin's supports on the other hand...they could have used more work.

They were really hilarious, but I might agree, they came off as bit too much to the awkward side - at least the first two.

I walked in on a woman bathing once.

The seeds have been planted. I'm just waiting for her to walk in on me so we can get married.

ITS THE ONLY WAY.

 

[Hong]

In the Famitsu article, it looks to me like he's using the Levin Sword for that thrust attack, and it labels it as a Side Smash.

Also, that slash with the Levin Sword we saw in the trailer seems to emit some sort of electric pulse on the ground that goes behind and in front of Robin, so I think that may be a Down Smash.

Hey. That's right. Forgot about the shockwaves.

I stand corrected. I'll fix the movelist when I can get around to it. Thanks.

I propose to literally everyone I see naked.

Someday those guys from the locker room will get back to me.

Even with limit break on all my units, I highly doubt they will make the opponent have anything less than a 80% hit chance with a machine gun.

Lucina!Morgan

Pick a god and pray.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Sometimes I forget that Lucina can be either Morgan's sister, her cousin, his mother, or his wife. Bonus points for the latter option possibly being a Morgan fathered by a Chrom-fathered Inigo or Brady, thereby making the relationship Aunt-Nephew.

Awakening family trees are weird.

Well, she can't be HIS mother, only HERS.

But yeah, thank Naga the characters on my different save files can't meet each other. It would be super awkward.

 

[Delzethin]

So we know that Robin's jab combo changes depending on the tome he has equipped at the moment. It's a really unique mechanic that gives Robin players some room to alter how that attack works to best suit the current phase of the fight.

But I wonder...what chance is there really that Robin's jab is the only move affected by that? Wouldn't it be a bit of a missed opportunity to have only one move do that? Could there be other moves that also change that we just haven't seen yet? Robin's n-air, maybe? U-tilt? One of his throws?

I like Robin's moveset except for Nosferatu. Sakurai acknowledges that Robin doesn't use dark tomes, so I wish his down B was a different move.

What could she have as her down B instead of nosferatu?

 

[Mr. Johan]

Counter, obviously.

 

[Saito]

What could she have as her down B instead of nosferatu?

Ignis.
Powers up the next attack

Vantage
A fast dash forward. Faster than Robin's max running speed of course.

That aside, Nosferatsu is fine.

Smash is known to let characters do things they normally couldn't do.

 

[L2 Sentinel]

But the Robin we are getting is clearly not one of those other classes. S/he is wearing the tactician costume. Besides, there are no classes that can use Dark Tomes and wields swords, so Robin clearly didn't recast. Further more, if we consider Robin's reclass options justification for moves, Robin has access to every single weapon type, so why not give him/her a Staff?

Simply put, Robin's reclass options are not strong justification for moves. They should have stuck to things s/he has access to as Tactician/Grandmaster, since that's clearly the class Robin is in Smash.

What could she have as her down B instead of nosferatu?

A number of things. An easy one would be Counter, which every Fire Emblem character has. But it could be another move using the sword, or even a move that changes based on which tome s/he is carrying. It's not like Nosferatu was the only thing that could have worked.

I know. One only needs to look at Ness to see that. I'm not upset about Nosferatu, I just personally would have preferred they didn't include it.

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

*Shrugs* It's one move. Not like Ness and Lucas, where their entire moveset is stolen from Paula/Kumatora. And besides, dark magic makes sense on Robin 'cause story reasons.

 

[Reila]

No thanks.

Robin is da bes.

I bet he just learned shadow gift.

"Oh you think I can't learn how to use the magic in this tomb? Give me a few months"

What do you think Robin spent all his/her time doing after the events of awakening? NOT studying?

 

[Hong]

Robin got a command grab for the same reason she got Arcfire:

By design, she relies heavily on projectiles to compensate for her lack of speed. Thunder is great, but since it's a charged move, if you ever hope on storing any of the advanced spells for later use that means you are going to lose one of your projectiles for the time being. Arcfire and Nosferatu help to leverage this vulnerability.

I actually think Robin is the best mother for Lucina.

Robin (either) is the best parent for pretty much all of the kids. The only ones who Robin might not be the best for are Gerome, Yarne, and Severa, and even then I'm not 100% positive.

Is Nosferatu a command grab though? Does it function as a grab? I never thought of that...

It's a presumption, and I full accept I can be wrong when I say things like that. Seems most likely, though.

At the end of the day, we probably won't know if it can bypass shields until retail.

Edit - I'd give this a read.

Yeah, seems like a pretty logical speculation. I was just confused if there was information regarding the move I had missed.

Depends, actually. I find that Robin isn't the best parent for Lucina either because that means I can't marry her to Morgan or Robin!Owain, Robin!Inigo, etc. which means I can't abuse Dual Strike+.

But Robin!Lucina is technically the best Lucina skillwise since she can get all just about all the skills.

(Then again, Lucina has more options to make her insta-pwnage than just Robin so...)

 

[Reginleif]

Robin is the best parent for every kid, without taking into account anything else other than the modifiers and classes the kid will have.

Depends, actually. I find that Robin isn't the best parent for Lucina either because that means I can't marry her to Morgan or Robin!Owain, Robin!Inigo, etc. which means I can't abuse Dual Strike+.

If Robin is Lucina's parent how can she/he be Owain's or Inigo's? I abuse Dual Strike+ with Robin!Lucina and Libra!Inigo

 

[Folt]

I meant an Owain or Inigo with Avatar as his father as Lucina's husband.

I suggested the Neutral Air as possibly being affected as well some pages back. Simply because it cannot involve "Smash Aerials" due to lack of control stick input. If it's any more than the Combo Finisher, though, it's probably only the neutral Air.

Still waiting on that 4 pic POTD that shows the various variations of the Combo Finisher.

Pardon me for asking, but is this confirmed to be true? I can't recall seeing it officially stated anywhere, and there were some suggestions that the wind attack that Robin uses could be an up-tilt or Elwind used on the ground.

I'm a little curious, since I really want the jab to change based on the equipped tome. That would be such a cool detail, I think.

If you looks closely, it resembles the end of his Combo string. You can just notice him finish a slash before casting it.
