We are connected by the mind. :096:
I know I'm not telekinetic (though I wish I was). Also Hong, can I have some tips for Robin game play, because I've been playing a lot of Lv 9 CPUs, becasue not matter how hard I practice, Robin still feels very award and slow to me and I can quiet get him down and I really want to main him. Though CPU's are annoying to verse (stupid perfect shield ****:glare:)

At least ten pictures were of Luigi being hurt or getting hurt. Poor man, he can't get a break. :(
After him getting one whole YEAR solely dedicated to the guy, you'd think he'd be more fine to take "blows" because he knows he's loved that way.

Must be controlled by a post-July Chrom supporter.
So why am I, the post-July-Chrom-fan, still tipping the scales? :4luigi:

Just checked my Fighter Records and Robin is easily my most played character in the game. 11 hours clocked in with the guy.

You know, "Tipping the scales" implies you're at a disadvantage and win.

I have never tipped the scales. I have like a 98% loss rate vs people who are at least as good as myself >_>

Greetings my fellow tacticians! I am new to the Robin boards but I've been playing Robin since day 1. Robin is by far my favorite character to play, but honestly I think my Greninja is my best character (Robin is second though followed by Lucina.) I am loving Robins playstyle and have spent the longest time playing with him. Online my record with him is 66/52, so I'm feeling really confident with him.

I ended up creating a new playthrough in Fire Emblem Awakening where I modeled the MU into this Robin from Sm4sh. I'm dissapointed though about the animations of using the Levin Sword in FE:A. But I hope to get more familiar with you all.

Welcome aboard! I actually did the same thing regarding a new run in Awakening - perhaps to dwell deeper to it's world now that I got out most of it's mechanics. Hope you'll enjoy our humble time here.

I find it slightly ironic that someone with a Chrom avatar is being friendly to the Robin fanbase. But whatever, not all fans are obnoxious. Welcome.

I think you'll find that the Robin community is one of the best and most engaging fanbases around. Welcome.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. While yeah I do like Chrom, he's far from my favorite lord in all of FE. That title would actually go to Ike ever since I played through Path of Radiance. I have yet to play Radiant Dawn however since it's so hard/expensive to get a physical copy now.

For my new smash playthrough in Awakening I'm devising a Streetpass team filled up with characters that have been in Smash along with the FE titles that made it overseas. So my final roster would include: Robin, Chrom, Lucina, Marth, Roy, Ike, Lyn, Hector, Eirika, and Ephriam. I've already got most of them in my Avatar logbook, I just need to work on maxing out their stats and giving them good skills and equipment.

actually there is a bug with using SpotPass characters like those on your StreetPass team. basically if your team includes one or more SpotPass einherjar characters (SpotPass side story characters like Walhart and Emmeryn, and other players' avatars, are fine), the receiving player receives a generic "Outrealm Order" team, instead of your actual team. I don't believe it's ever been fixed.
Apparently it doesn't affect the Japanese version though.

There are those who like both and aren't bitter about one getting in over the other. Like myself, for example. Though as a fighter, Robin is much more interesting, but still. Both are likable characters, I think.

I'm fond of both characters and actually like Chrom more as a character....but I'd be lying if I didn't say Chrom getting in over Robin would have been a very bitter pill to swallow.

I suppose you have a point, there. Robin is the first FE character in Smash that I truly wanted to use. I just couldn't be bothered to use a basic swordsman, but on the flip side, I never thought of including Robin as a newcomer to Smash, even though I loved using Robin in Awakening. But now that we do have Robin, it's pretty much pointless to talk about what could've been. I'm too busy using him to care at this point. And besides, Lucina is right there, and she's exactly like Chrom(combat-wise, anyway), except she's female. She's as close to Chrom as we're going to get.

Equally likable characters, yes. Equally likable fanbases, shoot me.

They painted their own image, but I know there's needles in the haystack.

Yeah, that's true. I still don't see the issue between the two, though.
-Chrom deemed shoo in due to Gematsu
-Most if not all Chrom fans act like stubborn idiots saying that Robin's fanbase has no chance
-Trailer
-Hopes diminished for 15 seconds when Lucina is shown
-Hopes destroyed when Robin is shown
-Anger that these two were chosen over Gematsu's love child
-Unrivalled anger in a fanbase when shown as Final Smash
-Chrom fans ridiculed and some continue to hate on Robin to this day
-Make a DLC group with only 6 members

Basic rundown.

Was this ever a consideration? Because I don't think Chrom would've fought like Ike.
Chrom isn't a slow, bulky mercenary with a claymore. Chrom is a fast, frail swordsman king with Marth's weapon.

Oh, it was a popular idea back in the day, since many people believed Ike was a likely cut due to not being "relevant," and that they could just give his move set to his "inevitable" replacement, Chrom. Obviously, that idea was scrapped once Ike was confirmed.

Oh, I know is a very aggressive and fast swords man but I swear I kept hear people thinking that Chrom would replace Ike, either as a unique character or with some of Ike's moves

Personally, I am not a big fan of Chrom. I tried to like him in Awakening, but it really didn't work; trying to like him soon became forcing myself to like him. I don't like his personality as I think it's an incredibly bland one; in a game full of personalities, I hated seeing him since he is incredibly unentertaining to watch. I also couldn't relate with the guy in the story.
This was applied to the main trio of Awakening as well; I didn't like the main cast of Robin, Chrom, and Lucina. However, I soon began to love Robin after delving into his personality and I started to relate with him even more, so much so that I could list Robin within my top 10 favorite video game characters. Lucina... I'm a bit indifferent on; I feel sympathetic that she was robbed of her childhood and was forced to grow up, but I just didn't care I suppose.

As for Chrom in Smash, it was one that I was dreading since I didn't think that anything creative could be done with him (even after Awakening, I failed to think of an original moveset for him) and I was expecting him. I'm so glad with the outcome that we got in the end! However, Chrom wouldn't really work as an Ike clone or even a clone at all. He has a distinctive sword style, but it is really middle in the road between Marth and Ike.

Honestly up until Ike was revealed I thought Chrom was a certainty, maybe as a sort of hybrid of Marth and Ike, and somewhere between the two in terms of speed and power.
I like Chrom, but I'm more satisfied with what we got in the end, even if Lucina is just a clone.

-Chrom deemed shoo in due to Gematsu One reason why I don't outright believe leaks.
-Most if not all Chrom fans act like stubborn idiots saying that Robin's fanbase has no chance I'll admit to thinking that Robin might not have made it, but I wasn't against either of them.
-Trailer That must have stung.
-Hopes diminished for 15 seconds when Lucina is shown She's exactly like Chrom, so nothing lost there.
-Hopes destroyed when Robin is shown He was a good character in Awakening, and he's good in Smash.
-Anger that these two were chosen over Gematsu's love child Again, Lucina.
-Unrivalled anger in a fanbase when shown as Final Smash At least he does something.
-Chrom fans ridiculed and some continue to hate on Robin to this day Were they ridiculed by the Robin fans, or did they feel they were ridiculed by the trailer?
-Make a DLC group with only 6 members Not sure what this has to do with anything, but if you say so, I guess.

Basic rundown.




Chrom isn't a slow, bulky mercenary with a claymore. Chrom is a fast, frail swordsman king with Marth's weapon.
Chrom is supposed to be well-balanced, but yeah. He's not using a heavy sword, it's more of a long sword. Marth's variant looks more like a rapier.

*quoting mechanics suck so I'm responding to what you quoted from me and not this that's actually quoted. Going in reverse from the last point.*

-The DLC group with 6 members goes to show how desperate some people are. And blind. Another reason for ridicule.
-Chrom fans feel ridiculed by the trailer. Can't speak for the Robin fans themselves as I disliked Robin at the times and didn't have a change of heart on his and Lucina's(especially Lucina's) inclusion until 2 weeks after when I found Awakening cheap and did a full play through.
-It's like if Mewtwo were reduced to Poke Ball summon.
-Lucina is not Chrom. Their simple minds reduce themselves to that.
-True, but these are diehard fanatics we're talking about.
-Except not male, not Chrom and certainly not Chrom. Did I mention she's not Chrom? No? Ok, she's not Chrom. Simplest reason for an obnoxious Chrom fan to dislike her.
-It stung them for taking a dump on their lord and savior Gematsu, and on an unrelated note it stung me at the time because it butted in on a very nearly correct reveal date for Mewtwo. I'm over it.
-Regardless of Robin's chances it was rude of them to act like immature people because of their lord and savior. And I didn't care for the leak at all, nor Fire Emblem as is. And now look at me, the series takes up half of my mains.
-You do well. Leaks are dumb.

Personally, I actually liked Chrom as a character in Awakening. Not one of my favorites, but he was a decent character that we got some good humor and tragedy out of. Really, I wouldn't have minded having him in Smash... If not for the fact that we already had both Marth and Ike, two characters that are quite similar to Chrom and already use the vast majority of his signature abilities in their own move sets. Between those two, I didn't think that anything really interesting could really come from him; even if he was unique from Marth and Ike, he'd still just be another swordsman. And that's another thing; the Fire Emblem series is much more than just similar looking swordsmen, but you wouldn't really know that just by looking at the Smash roster. Key concepts in the Fire Emblem series such as various weapons, magic, and tactics were completely overlooked in Smash, and adding Chrom to the roster would have only furthered the issue. That's why I've always believed Robin was the ideal choice for a Fire Emblem newcomer; not only would he/she have been completely unique as a fighter, especially compared to Marth and Ike, but he/she would also represent important concepts from the Fire Emblem series. The idea always seemed so perfect to me.

I'm overjoyed to know that Sakurai thought the same way. :estatic:

This post made me laugh for some reason.
- I don't know how likely DLC is, or what's even going to be considered.
- I guess it was too hard to say "I was wrong".
- To add insult to injury, Mewtwo didn't even show up at all.
- Chrom's daughter, close enough.
- He couldn't have been all that if he were a character.
- Still Chrom's daughter. Still close enough. I thought the hate was directed at Robin.
- Sakurai. That is all.
- Finally saw the light, did you?
- Even if a leak had something I wanted to see happen, I still wouldn't believe it until proven otherwise.

I don't remember where, but I read that Chrom was designed with some of the other popular FE Lords in mind.
Unfortunately he still managed to pass as a bland character haha.

I don't hate Chrom myself, in fact, I like him a lot. I find him pretty amusing to be honest.
I like Matthew Mercer and Tomokazu Sugita and I'm also a fan of his design as well!

But.. the thought of him as a playable rep in Smash Bros. was horrible to me.
I don't know why. Maybe it's because he would just be another blue-haired swordsman? Along with the fact that Lucina would be revealed alongside him, we might as well call Fire Emblem, Blue-Hair Emblem. It would have been too obvious for him to be a character, considering that he's the main protagonist of Awakening, placed #1 in a Japanese Popularity Poll from a while ago, etc etc.

Makes me appreciate Robin much more, but I'm glad Chrom got some kind of recognition in Smash anyways. He's a part of a Final Smash, has his own trophy, one of Robin's victory poses, and not to mention had some spotlight in another character's (characters) trailer.

Thanks to said trailer, I make fun of him all the time too

I was indifferent to him being a character. But yeah, a blue-haired swordsman is precisely what he is, and because he uses Falchion, how could he have been much different from Marth? It's because of that fact I wonder why Chrom fans became Chrom fans in the first place when Robin was right there with so much more to offer. Well, they have Lucina, and as far as wanting Chrom goes, that's the next best thing.

That's as much as we can hope for with Chrom.

All those Chrom fans must love you.

What he needs is basically a haircut and an alternate sword, and he's just one step below having his name changed to "Chrom" in the CSS, much like Olimar and Alph.

Ok as a speedrunner when i saw you say CSS i totally read that as cut scene skip lol.

Sorry Ive been gone fora while, school and work been gettin pretty moms spaghetti around here. Ike is worse now, but im still doing pretty well with him on wifi, mostly just due to the fact that he punishes super hard and rollings is something a ton of people mistakenly do on wifi.

So, I found the first person on For Glory I want to keep playing with, albeit not with records on the line. Raine, if you are out there, I was the one who used Ike, Lucina, and Dark Pit not order and then proceeded to get my ass kicked. So, I busted out Robin, who was dusty on For Glory and proceeded to go 2-0 against you as Robin, followed by a loss as Dark Pit. I busted out Robin for two more matches and won.

TLDR: Played a crap ton of matches against a really good Robin player who forced me to up my Robin game. It's rare to see a Robin, never mind a good one. PM me if you find this, Raine.

Well, I think there are a number of reasons for that. For one, there are people who are genuine fans of the character; they want Chrom in Smash because he's a favorite of theirs. Though judging by the aftermath of Robin's reveal, it seems like the number of those people is fairly limited. I believe the majority of Chrom supporters were people who thought he was inevitable, and that any other character like Robin (especially Robin considering he/she's a customizable character that isn't on the box art) was basically just wishful thinking. After all, why support something that you "know" is never going to happen?

But after Robin's reveal, a large portion of Chrom supporters expressed great satisfaction with this turn of events, once they realized that Robin was not an impossibility and that he/she was obviously the superior character choice over Chrom.
