I'm going to work. I'd appreciate it if none of you blow up the thread with a shipping argument while I'm gone.

That would mean either Hokori, Hong, or (god help you if the mess gets this big) Shaya has to clean up the mess, or otherwise I find myself walking back in (in 9 hours) to this:

Hear that? Raziek's bringing us pizza!

I feel like every time that I enter this thread I rain likes upon all of the comments. Seriously, you guys are too funny!

Random observation from viewing the Robin trailer for what must be the 800th time has shown me that Robin is the only character in the cast that's wearing pitch black and dark purple as his primary colors by default.

It's a great contrast to the other bright and colorful newcomers, and to the colorful game in general.
It almost makes me feel guilty whenever I change his color... But both the green one and white ones are great!

More surprising is the fact that Robin has that black and purple color scheme and isn't a villain.

Sort of.

Looking back at it, I didn't think this thread got at all crazy. "Crazy" is like a minimum one page trainwreck.

That said, I do agree it is pointless to argue over which Robin is canon. Robin is Robin.

On another subject: Would you be interested in costume DLC for Smash Bros? So, for example, Dread Fighter, Grandmaster, etc. outfits for Robin.

The only character who primarily wears dark clothing?

I'm thinking of two more characters who have such colors as default. A certain evil king and a dark angel.

Still a good point on contrasting with the more colorful characters. In fact, the game having brighter colors also makes the darker colors stand out.

I'd love to see Grandmaster Robin. Same for Great Lord Lucina and Vanguard Ike.

The Grandmaster outfit takes an awesome outfit and turns it even more awesome by adding armored parts while not detracting much from the original design.

The Dread Fighter outfit is pretty cool too and would make sense as a Robin alt considering it's also a class with swords and magic. (It also has axes, but that's irrelevant here.)

That would be cool, but I doubt it will happen. I would be cool with Robin having a Grandmaster outfit or a hooded costume.

Yeah before the Robin reveal I was actually thinking about him being in the game. I assumed he was going to have his hood up the entire time like he does in the cut scenes. Im glad they used default Robin though its nice to see his face. But yeah, a hooded alt would be really cool.

As an alt for Robin. PLEASE.
Or perhaps they should have been included in the game if support conversations (and marriage) were available. Who wouldn't want to see M!Morgan OHKO his opponents with an uppercut punch, or F!Morgan pulling out Toad from her cloak?

Or maybe Dark Pit should be his daddy, so we can have three times the number of Pits. :troll:

:4robinf: and:4robinm: should be given their own character slots. Also, Morgan♀, Morgan♂, and Katarina need to become playable.

If you beat all the game modes on the hardest difficulty with all the above characters, you unlock Grima.:4robinf:

I still want Grima's back to be a stage, but at least I love Castle Siege.

I want Grima's back to be a stage so I can play as Grima on Grima and summon my Grima Assist Trophy while unleashing my Grima Final Smash on Grima and Grima to save my partner, Grima.:4robinf:

Actually, you unlock Robin by beating Classic on the highest intensity.
...

I'm not sorry.

We should probably implement a rule against arguing over which Robin is canon.

Some of you are entirely too invested in it and it rarely goes anywhere good.
Dem gender specific OTPs :troll:

You won't ever see me fanboying over one, don't worry :seuss:

Every player is the most skilled Smash player ever. We unlocked a character before we actually unlocked a character! With a difficult unlocking requirements, no less!

I thought that was more of a reference to the enemy units in Fire Emblem (such as how the green color references the allies and blue color references your units) rather than Anna.

Dark text will not save you.

I honestly prefer none over the other. They each have their pairings that I love, but none are big enough to turn me to their side.

:4robinf: x Chrom
:4robinf: x Lon'qu
:4robinf: x Walmart Walhart

:4robinm: x :4lucina:
:4robinm: x Sully
:4robinm: x Anna

So don't worry, I won't turn to either side despite the extreme temptation to. I can't love one side more than the other.

Not even :4robinm:'s even if he has Lucina.

Does it really matter? Results are never limited by intentions! Regardless of why they chose a red Robin, she reminds me of Anna.

You better not. Also swap Sullyfor Tharja, and Lon'qu for Gerome, and you have my favorite ships. Expect for :4robinm: x :4lucina: x :4palutena:.

Personally I thought that the Green and Red ones referenced the Green and Red Knights of Fire Emblem (Cain and Abel, Sully and Stahl), but it's great to see that a single color can represent so many different things to different people.

My favorite FE:A ship would probably upset someone.
So I probably should keep quiet :x

Tell us.

But make it hard to guess :troll:

No but seriously, I guarantee no flame wars will erupt. At least not here. PM's, you're doomed, pal.

So tell us :)

Well, its not as upsetting as you make it seem. Its :4robinm: x Chrom. I said it was upsetting because it would likely cause the ending of the world because Lucina not being born and all that plus its impossible lol

I honestly think Chrom x Sumia is the best/cutest but I got to admit if there was a M/M relationship it would be the cutest with :4robinm:x Chrom.

Its not very creative I know, but can you imagine a relationship that causes the end of the world?

Yeah, I can totally understand that ho yay pairing. Lucina not existing does irk me, but I remind myself that yours is another dimension and not relevant to mine :seuss:

Nothing to be reluctant about. I like ChromxRobin and ChromxGaius way more than his potential female candidates.

What if it was Chrom x Sumia and then after she had Lucina, she was killed in battle? Then, seeking solace in his best friend after the loss of his wife, Chrom discovered his feelings for :4robinm:

I mean yeah that would be sweet but that would mean Sumia would die :c
Oh... well... there is that... And I do like Sumia, so maybe that idea wouldn't be so great. What if Sumia started having a love affair with Frederick instead then and divorced Chrom?
