Not necessarily. There's a difference between being able to alternate between two completely different characters, each with their own speed, weight, power, etc, and being able to only switch your method of attack.
Yeah, sort of an idea I gave up on after the last Direct.
There is, but Sakurai said he wanted characters to focus on one moveset as his reasoning behind separating Sheik and Zamus from Zelda and Samus.
I still think the best/easiest route for them to go is sword only for melee attacks like jabs and stuff and make all his specials magic to reflect how Robin can use both.
Yes, we catch your idea (no offense here)
sorry XD I keep repeating that don't IYes, we catch your idea (no offense here)
I think we could have Female Robin as an alt costume like WFT
I wouldn't like them to be called "tactician" because that's boring and implies he/she is not a character and has no personality like the Villager, Robin is a name and conveys the fact it's a character, but then again "Robins" would be kinda weird...
Now I know that name is not a random choice. For Daraen (Europe) and Reflet (Japan) I have no idea.
Reflet is "an effect of brilliance or luster due to the reflection of light on a surface, especially of pottery; iridescence." It's from the French word for "reflection".
Perhaps it says something about Robin's status as an "avatar" character, which is designed to reflect the player creating the avatar. Robin admittedly doesn't really reflect the players personality, but his/her appearance can be made to resemble that of whoever is designing him or her.
Eh, sort of. I couldn't make it look like me.
I'm not sure if the Wii Fit Trainers had names in their games, but they definitely didn't share the same one. Villager had no specific name in his games, the developers didn't even give you a default name for him. Both female and male MyUnit share one common name that is commonly used for both genders, Robin. If the character doesn't have a default name then they make up a name that fits their character. If the character does have a default name that isn't shared by both genders of the character then they make up a name that fits their character. I don't want to hear the announcer saying...
Well, as you pointed out, we already got Villager, who is actually a pure avatar character. Robin is only really customizable in appearance and abilities; s/he has his/her own unique personality and backstory. So... I don't think your personal feelings will stop Robin from getting into Smash.Just adding my two million(I ball) butI would rather not have an avatar, unless it is Mii which I do not support either. It does make more sense to have you in the game as a Mii since the purpose of avatars for the most part is inserting the player into the game and if the Miis are customizable. I can not see "Robin" as customizable, and I felt closer to my FE avatars then just Miis so playing as a generic template wouldn't help even if he/she had a diverse moveset. Which is why I would much rather prefer Anna or Lucina or Chrom or Ike and seem these candidates as more likely.
But we did get Villager....... I see you Sakuari
Well it's the customizable appearance and abilities that makes you avatar so unique and makes you feel closer to that avatar as well, but when you strip that away.. :/ this is just why I don't want to see Robin, it is not stopping her or his chances nor should any one take this as if I am imposing my own personal feelings to why characters should miss the roster, it's more universal than that. I guess Villager no having any personality gave him a pass, as well as Animal Crossing being so popular. All just my opinion though, if "Robin" or whatever his or her name is gets in Smash 4, I would not really mind.
We don't want the character in to customize him/her. Sakurai would be wasting his time making characters like Robin and Villager customizable. Making a download option to get your character from awakening or new leaf is a waste and putting a character creation screen for both Villager and Robin would also be a waste. Villager doesn't have a default appearance, but Robin does. I can see Sakurai putting different shirts (and maybe faces) for Villager, but not customizable clothes, pants, hats, shoes, and accessories. Villager will most likely have a female option too. Robin has a default appearance and a simple cloak or hair change won't be that hard to add. Miis are easy as you can just select them from the Mii Maker, many games do this already. Customizing is reserved for Miis, Robin and Villager should not have this option. The medium sized Robin is enough. I don't want to play as the chibi twins, an ugly old dude, or "sexy" Robin. I think everyone wants normal Robin. Zamus can have her heels and big bust, I don't want my Robin to be used for fanservice.Just adding my two million(I ball) butI would rather not have an avatar, unless it is Mii which I do not support either.

You haven't played any game in the series, you're worse than me!
I'm pretty sure only the chibi girl can use it.
That's lame.
Glad to see someone joining in on the support! Not that don't like Chrom, he just is a little bland IMO...As you can see by my avatar(no pun intended), my #2 is dead, I'll try to support my #4 then(tfw Dillon is an Assist), who is my #2 now!
Anyway, I would've chosen Chrom for an Awakening rep, but I don't want another sword user, Robin has many more things to represent the franchise than a blue haired lord would ever have, magic, tactics... oh, and did I mention it would destroy the entire Gematsu leak
I know, I saw some of your old posts, but I guess it was a coincidence that I found you here
Did he even had something like that? Or are you referring to the support conversations, if so, here is one:
Yes I did mean Snake, or a possible Pit Codecs call
Oh... I wouldn't say Sceptile is likely...
We're only getting five pokemon, six or seven would be over doing it. Jigglypuff will be the fifth pokemon to be announced. King K Rool is not very likely at all, the fans who say this are confusing their opinions with Sakurais. Robin is still more likely than Ike and Lucina.
...I would really enjoy debating you on pretty much everything you just said, but I don't think this thread is the place for that.
I have said before that with other character that aren't really "characters" it's okay to give them generic names or a new generic appearance, but Robin is different because Robin is a character and has dialogue, personality . etc. It wouldn't give Him/Her justice as a character if s/he was just "tactician" with the hood up. I think if that were done for Robin, then you should also rename Link "Hero" because some may be attached to link their play through of a LoZ game because they named them George, or Pikachu should be called "mouse pokemon" because some nicknamed their Pikachu in a Pokemon game.
