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

[Weeman]

Emmeryn should learn how to tech.

At least she was reborn as a Pokémon, Hawlucha, and accepted her true nature.
Now she defeats her enemies the best way she knows, flying pressing them.
So in a way you could say i am Emmeryn .

 

[Mr. Johan]

I had intended to get two copies of the game from the start and my brother could pay me off for his copy later. Getting one for free just works out to my favor.

But hey, I guess I have Sonic to fall back on. I just want an excuse to yell "Checkmate!" when all is said and done and I'm walking away with a free copy.

I really hope I see more Ike in Smash 4. Personally I'm a huge fan of having a heavyweight on a team during doubles... Especially if you know how to coordinate.

Though now we have characters like Robin, Pac-Man, and Duck Hunt, who are all newcomers that can control a lot of space if they want to. They too can offer something nice in doubles depending your team cohesion. Arcfire/Arcthunder + Wario Waft in particular can put a fun spin on the doubles meta from Brawl.

Why wouldn't you fight your friends if you aren't going to give them sympathy in the first place?

 

[LIQUID12A]

Why wouldn't you fight your friends if you aren't going to give them sympathy in the first place?

Because I like redundancy, and repetition of overused memes is deemed necessary to get the joke across.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Considering the tournament is 4 stock, I may have to go "Brawl on Easy Mode"

Unless someone can provide grandmaster tactics for staying awake for this tournament that starts at midnight.

 

[mimgrim]

I'll probably mess around with Ike in the beginning just because of his Black Knight inspired alt color.

Well i guess the problem with him, along with the likes of Little Mac and Ganondork, is that they get easily punished in singles. However i definitely see a lot of potential for them in Doubles, Ike in paticular i feel would make a great partner to someone like DHD.

I don't know about Little Mac. He has a lot of moves with little recovery to them,

Inversely, he has some of the scariest punishment options in the game.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I think Mac's gonna be just fine, especially with the FD-centric metagame, and especially with Skid stopping letting him bust moves out near instantly after a dash.

 

[shrooby]

Profit.

No profit.

I liked the way D1 (I believe) put it during that 3DS Invitational ClashTournaments did a bit ago.
Little Mac seems like he'll be the kind of character that completely decimates certain characters while doing absolutely horrendously against others. So he's the kind of character which wouldn't be the best to "main," but, rather, keep as a secondary.
Your opponent thinks they're all good with whatever character and, BOOM, you pull out your pocket Little Mac to hard counter their main.

 

[Weeman]

Well, i don't know, he seems to be on a league of his own, like i feel he's going to be the character that no one will main, but everyone will fear anyways, like everyone will always have some kind of strategy against him for backup. Great risk great reward i guess.
"Little Mac, the most feared low tier to have ever existed."

 

[Archimedes]

Yeah if there is a thing at my gamestop ill probably use a veteren I know like or . I would prefer to play but I wanna win (or at least do good) and I can tell hes gonna take some time getting used to.

But yeah using easy to use hard hitters also sounds like a good idea like and since most people aren't used to the game yet.

 

[Weeman]

I find it rather ironic how a lot of people complain at Gamestop's business practices, yet here at México, Gamestop's prices would be considered cheap. Economy i guess .

 

[mimgrim]

Little Mac has the case of people not knowing how to play him correctly in so far. Once Mac's playstlye develops into a more defensive style, like Melee and PM Falcon, he will become a lot better then he currently seems. Also if people didn't try and spam dash attack and Fsmash so much with him... his on stage game would seem a whole lot better which would make his off-stage game not as much of an issue. Like seriously, I think Mac has the potential to have Melee/PM Falco level onstage game.

Just everyone sucks with him.

That's exactly it. Good Little Macs so far spend a lot of time in the mid-range and wait patiently for an opportunity.

He's basically the Dudley of Smash 4.

Yeah, but in Smash, especially in this one where the blast zones are so far away, there's a lot points during the match where playing Little Mac boils down to:
-Send your opponent flying with any move
-Wait
-Try repeating
Wich leaves him in lots of 50/50 situations, since he cannot follow up or activelly search for his enemies.
Remaining grounded is both his main advantage and his main disadvantage.

 

[mimgrim]

One of these days I really should try to get other fighters just so I know what people are talking about when the compare characters from other fighters to characters in Smash.

But I want to actually get good at Smash first which will take a good long while by the looks of how my progress is going so far. That and I'd have to get over the limited control that I feel like I have in other fighters and find another fighter I am interested in and is actually popular.

Robin should have had the ability to class change into a Manakete. I don't know why I'm putting this out, but it's something that's been bothering me for some time.

Spoiler

Which is probably because they're part-dragon. Would be cool if they were able to transform into an enormous, jet-black dragon (which totally isn't Grima) and spew fire at their opponents. That in turn would help make up for the almost non-existence of Manaketes in Awakening, one of many issues that I found with that game.

I'M REALLY FEELING IT

Bowser Jr. doesn't think so.

If Manakete Robin were a thing, I wish I could have Manakete Robin and Manakete Morgan at the same time

 

[AustarusIV]

...Oh my.

Not only did some people believe that Roy and Lyn had a better chance than Robin of getting in, but that it was more ideal for Robin to be an AT.

I just...Wow, I mean, I gotta say that's a huge waste of potential. Imagine if we actually went through with that, and we were left with Marth, Ike, and Roy as the FE representatives?

I understand that there are people who legitimately like Roy, but a magic-wielding, black robed, brilliant tactician will easily one-shot "ordinary swordsmen" any day of the week in terms of uniqueness.

 

[Hong]

Ignis is the only way to take advantage of the magic bonuses that Dragonstones grant you...

 

[shrooby]

If Manakete Robin was a thing...


I would still keep Robin as a Tactician/Grandmaster because it feels weird to permanently stay in any other class.

Though, sometimes the classes I like to have certain characters in don't make much sense.
Like, I always end Inigo as a Berserker for some reason. Only he could wear that ridiculous getup.

I also like to have Morgan be a Dark Mage and Owain be a Dread Fighter. I even usually try to purposefully pick parents that will allow them to do well in those classes.
Though my most recent playthrough I had Robin marry Chrom since I felt as though I should do that at least one time. But since I didn't pick Magic as Robin's asset, Morgan's magic growth rate ended up being not very effective for a magic-exclusive attacker, so he's a Dread Fighter (with Tomefaire to make up for it). And Armsthrift + Rightful King on three different kinds of weapons also sounded too sexy to pass up.
I didn't want to have two Dread Fighters, though, so LissaxHenry Owain is a Dark Mage. Which is fine since magic attacks are 2 stronk, but I feel as though the decent attack growth which comes from the pairing goes to waste...

It feels weird to have those two completely switch roles I'm used to...

 

[AustarusIV]

If Lickitung was a Pokeball Pokemon...

I would definitely take a picture of it and Bowser Jr.'s Koopa Klown copter "licking" each other.

Hahah, I know what you mean. My Owains typically all go in the Dread Fighter class too, which work out well since Lissa's husband tend to be Henry (or my Avatar for when Henry is marrying someone else).

[.Shìkì]

Oh boy, this escalated quickly...

On another note, is it just me or is the Severa paralogue the hardest of all of them (if you don't count saving all villagers in Geromes that is)? These Guards with their forged weapons oneshot my 3-times-class-changed offtank, there is seemingly endless reinforcements flooding in every single round, and Severa charges in like a moron so a big part of the strategy you could employ is royally ****ed because you have to rush alongside her... GOD.

Use Rescue to delay Severa as needed. You need only one pair and a healer to go down the right passage. Everyone else should SLOW PUSH the central main route. Don't allow over-exposure. Watch for indirect attacks on the side. You can use this to your advantage to attack over the walls to help the Severa escort team.

I don't remember, can you not reach her in time to recruit her?

You can't. Severa is only recruited when she talks to an NPC on the map, which causes reinforcements to emerge from the stairs (to no surprise, as that's what they generally exist for).

It's been a long time since I actually played.
That is lame.
