Ladies and gentlemen, here's Robin's costumes!


The Anna colored one is so awesome! Or is it Red Robin? :p
I'm totally gonna main with that White Mage pallete.

Are the green and red ones meant to represent the Cain-Abel archetype?

Uhm... thats exclusive to MegaMan as far as we know. So it doesn't affect anyone but him. Maybe sonic because the recovery is so similar. Also MegaMan doesn'T go into freefall afer Up-B (I think sonic in brawl did?)
He didn't, but he couldn't use any of his specials until landing.

Let me know when I'm supposed to laugh, okay?

Well, this popped up on 9gag-



And of course, one smart guy's comment was, "Who is using a s***** a** bronze sword?" And of course I laughed.
Monado sure sticks out like a sore thumb.

'Cause it's red like a sore thumb...

Sakurai directly referred to Final Fantasy in his Famitsu article with Robin, calling him a Magic Knight, so he definitely had FF on the mind when he was making Robin.

The White Mage-lookalike alt is intentional.

I sure hope that's an Anna color! Being able to fight as an Anna-colored Robin with a Levin Sword would be close enough to playing as her :p
It's interesting that changing what team they're on will change their gender in team battles. I honestly thought there'd be 16 costumes. Still not disappointed though, I like each one here.

I think I'll choose the blue-haired one for irony ;)


Guess I will just stick with standard Robin. Disappointing alternate colors imo.
Seeing small 3ds pictures is a lot different than seeing them in full, beautiful HD
Just wait :p

Sonic didn't go into freefall, no. Neither did Snake.

So, how many times has Chrom been killed?

Robin kills him.



...Twice.



Then he gets knocked out by Captain Falcon.



Then in terms of Smash, his chances are killed off by being part of a Final Smash...



...And part of a victory pose...



...And a palette swap for Ike.



This guy just doesn't catch a break, does he?

Doesn't explain why he didn't go with Red Mage or Mystic Knight colors, though...

What is it with third party characters not becoming helpless?

Pac-man may be an exception, though, unless he becomes non-helpless by bouncing more than once.

I burst out into laughter when I saw that Chrom palette, even though I called it way back when ike was shown.

Not even the most profound necromancers of Magvelian lore could resurrect Chrom's chances of being a playable character. :skull::skull::skull:

I always thought it was possible, perhaps even likely, but seeing it there...

I'm sorry, but it's just too funny. :joyful:

Is :4lucina: taller than :4robinm:?

I don't know about Awakening, but in Smash 4, Lucina DOES look quite a bit taller than Robin <plus Lucina is leaning a bit back, so she could potentially be even taller.>

It's pretty amusing to imagine that between the :4lucina:/:4robinm: relationship, Lucina is the taller one. :p

Nevermind that this reply came several pages after the first post. =P

Eat your heart out, Chrom :4dedede:

I will be playing the game on the 3DS, so I don't really care about how they look in HD.
But glorious hair animation in HD! You should care! :seuss:

Just like we've always wanted. ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
So the prophecy became true. We didn't want another blue haired swordsman and we got one :troll:

Y'all wasting your time trying to convince her about HD.

I'm ecststic about these colors. Not sure whether I'll be maining Anna Robin or Blood Knight Kirito Robin. Default Robins are also great. Decisions decisions.

There is nothing to convince me about. I appreciate HD graphics, but they aren't a big deal to me.

On the actual subject of the thread, I am starting to warm up to pinky Robin. I wish it was white hair and white coat, but the pinky alt is close enough, I guess.

You'd figure Chrom would be the Pinky and Robin would be the Brain.:4robinf:

But I suppose if you are NOT IN THE GAME*, Robin will have to handle both.:bluejump:

*As playable fighter, Chrom

Real men wear pink :troll:

Gah. The saturation level of the colors is terrible. D:

Hopefully they get toned down some for the Wii U version. Might just be that way to make it easier to distinguish characters on the 3DS.

Let's be honest
You know what's coming
But this increases the dramatic effect and is totally necessary.
Relevant:



Yeah, but really. Seeing highly saturated colors in games always annoys me for some reason. I really do hope they tone it down for the console release, because as of right now I don't really like any of the alt colors for Robin.. I mean, go look at the Lucina alts and see how amazing they are.. After seeing those, I feel a little let down with the ones we have for Robin.

Can't please everybody. I wished :4robinf: had an alt with blue hair. That was it.

That would have been too easy :4dedede:

Fooled ya :troll:

Whenever I see this image, a certain image comes to mind.

And today I decided to share it!



I was too lazy to Photoshop hands.:050:

I didn't even notice Marth had a Roy costume, That's neat.
Neither did I. Shoot, now I've not only got to choose between Lucina and Marth, but now I have to choose between orange Marth and Roy Marth and Tiki Lucina and Lucina Lucina.

The more I look at that picture, the more I believe Crazy Redd's nose is some kind of black hole. It's a bit creepy.
