We have already discussed Robin's new palettes here, so I merged your thread into it.

Hair and robes change, from what we're told. The most interesting one is the white palette, which endows Robin with black hair. Could be a Sephiran reference. We'll have to get a good look at it.

Just a hood? That seems slightly boring. Then again, Lucina has her mask.I...I...I just want to put the hood on

It won't sound boring when you can pretend Robin is Palpatine with all the lightning magic.

I mean...it's basically just an add-on. Not really meant to be "fun", just something I know others (myself included of course) would like to see.
Oh, and I'm supporting this as a taunt, not a costume.
Costume wise, I'd really want to see Dread Fighter, Sage/Sorc, Grandmaster...yeah

In that case, can we call Galeforce "Faleforce?"Warriors should be able to learn Maleforce.
Because it "fale"s at being balanced.

Ridley is such a weird scenario... He's well supported, but the dev team (or Sakurai or whoever you want to blame) seem to think that he's not a suitable character. They've gone out of their way to honor him the best that they can in any other way that they can other than a playable spot. If that's their decision, then we as fans should just accept it (all this is a moot point if he somehow shows up playable.
Robin fans, on the other hand, have known that he was a possible rep that fit into Smash nicely, but from my experience, we've had to deal with a lot of grief before his reveal. I wouldn't go so far as to say that we Robin supporters deserve Robin more than anyone other character's fans do (I think [most] Rosalina fans have been pretty good, as have Shulk ones), but it's great to see all of our hopes and dreams realized in such a fantastic way.
About three days and eleven hours before Robin is released to the world... this is so surreal...

I meant to phrase that to be similar to a child being released to the world by his parents, but I guess you're right.I think you mean the East

It's only a matter of hours before we know what Robin can do.
Keep that popcorn ready.
Having tilts and smashes in the air is a pretty interesting powercreep if I do say so myself.

Are Up-Air Smashes and Down-Air Smashes confirmed, BTW?

I feel like someone mentioned that they were great, but I can't find a source... but...
Shouldn't this be his down one? We see his side one used on Fox (I think) in Robin's trailer, and that's an upwards slash. So unless this is Robin's back-smash (which would be a really awkward animation I think to get into this position), it's probably Robin's down air Smash. If he has a down one, he should have an up one too.

Good point- but dang, Robin has more options to Smash than other fighters can shake at. Seems to put Peach's floats in shame. Definitely has upper hand on Palutena in online. All for this flexibility and power...I feel like someone mentioned that they were great, but I can't find a source... but...

I might think a following scenario when using Robin effectively: rack up damage from far by keep-away game through use of spells or juggling/comboing close with Bronze Sword, and then finish these guys off with Levin Sword.
Edgeguard or gimp the recoveries with Arcfire or Thunder.

That's why I like him, and with recent reports that it regenerates in about 7 seconds, it'll be even easier to rack up damage by using the Levin Sword too.

I'm still wondering how it's going to work when using a cstick.. Will it force you to use the levin sword when attacking in the air with a cstick?
And can neutral air be charged like a smash attack? If so, how? Holding down the A button?

Maybe using different tomes, like standard special shooting a hammer out resemble Milojnir, side getting an eruption like Bolganone, up striking double the amount of times like Celica's Gale, and maybe a triple damage but no healing down special like Ruin?

That's the real gimmick imo.

Don't forget he/she also has Thoron as a potential finishing move. Even if foes stay out of the reach of his/her Levin Sword, they risk giving Robin the opportunity to charge up and fire a Thoron blast.

Wait a second, is that confirmed? Robin has some sort of Smash attacks in the air? If that's true, then that will be interesting.
Now that's nasty. I just wonder how he will preform in battle with all of this power and range.

According to people who played the recent demo, if you just tilt the control stick and use attacks in the air, they'll just be standard air attacks that use the Bronze Sword. However, if you smash the control stick like you would when you use a Smash attack on the ground, Robin will instead pull out the Levin Sword and use that to send opponents flying.
Yes, Robin's looking pretty promising at this point.

Oh, right about that. I hope the charge doesn't take too long to pull that off. It seems to launch them upwards however which might make them easier to come back due bigger blast zones (incase Thoron won't KO and they become helpless).

Might compensate for the breaking tomes.

Counter. Every other FE character has it, so why not Robin?

Very interesting... Robin is shaping up to be even better and better.
Excellent idea- I had completely forgotten about how these two could work together. Wow, the the Levin Sword being so awesome and the pressure that Thoron puts on opponents, Robin really is bringing the thunder.

That's interesting.
Seeing as how the Bronze Sword apparently combos people, you could possibly use Robin's Bronze Sword attacks to juggle opponents or use them for comboing. Then, you would finish the opponent off with the Levin Sword. That's a pretty interesting strategy...
Dare I say that he's one of the best looking fighters in the game?
I dunno if I would laugh hysterically or cry miserably.

The fact that his specials are based off of tomes kinda wrecks this idea. I mean, it could be something like the Counter skill from Awakening.

He takes his tome, blocks, and then slaps the opponent with the tome.
