Well, Robin AND Lucina are in Smash. So for the outsiders looking in, that ship is going to be the first thing that comes to their minds, especially since Robin played the heroic knight to save the damsel in distress in his confirmation video.

Not to pour too much seriousness into a question in jest, so much as I am just saying the horse is just a fetid carcass at this point. It is beyond the point of being beaten. It's dead. It's over.
That's true, really. It just feels kinda like Smash Bros has solidifed certain "roles" to characters it features, and usually those getting short end of the stick will just be remembered for that only, no matter how favorite they are to people. Guess what happens to fans who don't like it?

Trying to tolerate something like that as more modest fan that isn't into "poking fun all the time as a routine" gets quite quickly to nerves because it tells me there's not much else to the character worthy looking than being everyone's favorite chew toy, especially if it's a human being that either is dim-witted or has it coming for him due somethin' about himself that makes it okay, kinda like a friendly thing. I was looking for that here and got delivered nothing of a sign on that. One could say I have little sense of humor when it comes to poking fun at others in the expense of what they lack or how they stack. Also I've never been a fan of sociopathic humor (like "played around" pseudo-prejudice to "losers", if they generally well-mannered people and misfortune comes from others rather than them).

On the other hand, I'm just speaking here as a minority of Chrom-fans not liking how he's now being portrayed most of the time, compared to majority of them who is fine with it and fuel it further. As of late now though, it's going to be impossible to avoid it and ATM it has made me almost lose interest to the character because apparently investing on him will only make me feel more annoyed and bitter that he's nowadays Smash's (and thus Fire Emblem Awakening's) buttmonkey of an "Unfortunate NPC". Also the fact that he's now a whiny manchild of a husbando to a lot fangirls and popular artists.
Of course, that'd be saying I have then little tolerance and maybe reasons to like the character, but I just feel like it's like living in what were dysfunctional fandoms as that only "regular" fan who tries to dig into the character instead joining around in fads- (Sonic's furry fandom, Bronies, etc.)

Of course, OOC:ing has been done to Marth and other FE-characters but at least they aren't portrayed constantly in the light where it's always "hilariously tragic" on their end and are shown fluff more than comedic sociopathy. Which is why currently I'm just annoyed with the current "label" Chrom is now having, as now I'm gonna only see him portrayed as a Luigified loser character instead of what he truly is rather, much like the above (but worse).

Well, Robin AND Lucina are in Smash. So for the outsiders looking in, that ship is going to be the first thing that comes to their minds, especially since Robin played the heroic knight to save the damsel in distress in his confirmation video.
I don't personally mind the pair, and at times it has those special things that makes it feel unique from rest (rather different confession image with MU!/Robin + Lucina, the Hot Springs-conversation, the OST-image with Lucina having the very same flowers she got from MU!/Robin). But indeed, this can go in way of other pairings in the future if pushed around.


The difference is that Palutena, well...
View attachment 29398

She was practically asking for creepy remarks. Lucina, though, what is she doing wrong?
Palutena is bit of a mixed bag to me as of late when coming to character. Apparently her wittiness and snark now correspond to her being secretly mean to Pit and also huge egoism that can override feelings of others (basically Viridi's nicer version) and she also now possesses more sexual innuendo than Uprising could ever give to her, which I don't really enjoy.

Does anyone else refer to the male as Robin and the female as Reflet? Because I use it prevent gender pronoun confusion.
I sometimes refer to the male Robin as Daraen and the female Morgan as Linfan, because female Robin will always be the main one in my head, and Reflet just seems more feminine/Marc more masculine to me. Reflet is a pretty name, though.
It's not even the myriad of fanfiction I dislike, it's the fact it's always...ALWAYS Robin x Lucina, which I don't like.
Isn't there a less dysfunctional family to ship?
Interestingly, going by Spotpass, Robin/Sumia is the most popular ship in my area for Robin (and I love Sumia to the point of having Robin's son marry her daughter to at least somewhat connect her to Robin, so no complaints there).

But yeah, as someone else said, a lot of newcomers might have the trailer in mind and that could influence their decisions.

For me, I honestly had no clue how marriage worked in my first run and ended up accidentally marrying a lot of characters. Once you learn the secret, some of the fun goes away though. It was kind of neat seeing who ended up with who. It almost felt more natural, like it actually tied into the story instead of me grinding two people up until they S-Support. That's probably why I have the softest spot for my original playthrough.

Funnily, Lucina actually has someone who she supports as fast with as Chrom supports Sumia. We've got new information, and just about everyone who can marry someone other than Avatar has an option that just plain beats out the rest in terms of how fast it happens.

So, are you ready for the true "canon" Lucina pairing?

Do you feel good because you're a subject of discussion, or do you feel bad for the same reason?

Does it feel bad to have specific things pointed out because they hurt, or good because they are things to improve on?

Or are you one who likes the attention at times, but loses control when it comes en masse?

The reasons are vast, but I'm in no right to pester you with them.

YES YES YES YES.

Sorry, I actually like those two a lot together.:laugh: I supported them because Gerome's paralogue took me a while, and I grew to love their supports and my <spoiler> has grown into quite the beast recently.

Is there a list of all of these, though? I'm just really curious now who the "canon" pairings are for everyone (obviously Sumia supports the fastest with Chrom).

First Gen:

Chrom x Sumia
Lissa x Vaike
Sully x Kellam
Miriel x Stahl
Maribelle x Frederick
Panne x Ricken
Cordelia x Libra
Nowi x Gregor
Tharja x Gaius (this comic is now incredibly awesome!)
Olivia x Henry
Cherche x Virion

Lon'qu and Donnel support equally (slowly) with all women. Lon'qu because he has that phobia. Donnel because he's just an extra. The Avatar also supports equally (slowly) with all of the opposite gender.

Second Gen:

Lucina x Laurent
Kjelle x Owain
Cynthia x Inigo
Severa x Brady
Noire x Yarne
Nah x Gerome

The Morgans support equally (slowly) with all of the opposite gender.

BTW the "canon" Lucina pairing is actually probably my favorite pairing support-wise which owns.

No Cordelia? I figured much, considering that she still longs for Chrom's attention in her supports.

Nah x Gerome is hilarious and my favorite of Gerome's ships.

I'm growing to like Lucina and Laurent a lot as well.

Didn't expect Panne X Ricken. Though that may be because I keep thinking Panne's a Laguz.

Cordelia X Libra is weird too.

Oh and look, someone supports with Kellam faster than anyone else. He does get noticed!

Chrom's was expected. Lissa's surprised me a bit. Sully's makes sense, though I expected Donnel or Stahl. Maribelle's really surprised me (I expected Gaius with the intersection in their stories or Ricken because of him rescuing her and their supports crossing as well, but it makes sense too since both Maribelle and Frederick are close to someone in the Ylissean household to the point of Maribelle being second priority for Chrom after Sumia). Miriel's is kind of random. Panne's is also odd (I was sure Ricken would be for Maribelle since they have the whole thing where Aversa calls him her boyfriend, though I supported Ricken with Nowi and Maribelle with Stahl). Cordelia's interests me- I might try it on my Yarne/Robin playthrough. Nowi's isn't surprising and also has a sweet support chain. I just did Tharja's on my Yarne/Robin run and it's hilarious, though I still prefer her with Libra. Olivia's isn't too surprising and again, they have a neat support chain (which I did on my second run). Cherche's also makes a ton of sense. I'm surprised I haven't tried it yet. I like the attention to Lon'qu's character there.

As mentioned before, I like Lucina's. Kjelle's also makes me happy because their support chain is neat and made her grow on me more. Cynthia's makes a ton of sense, though I've never tried it (though I could see Kjelle and Cynthia switching their highest supports there too, since Owain is in the Justice Cabal with Cynthia and Inigo's personality is a fun contrast to Kjelle's). I've never done Severa's (poor Brady was the odd man out on my initial run), but I've heard it's great. Noire's I've never heard of or tried either. And Nah's is probably my second favorite 2nd gen pairing behind Morgan/Cynthia. It's just insanely cute.

Poor Donnel, Robin, and Morgan. I guess it's to be expected, though- Donnel is a Paralogue and not main story character, and Robin I guess would rub people the wrong way if he/she was given a "canon" love interest since their "My" Unit, plus they can be either gender. The same latter point stands for Morgan.

I don't personally mind the pair, and at times it has those special things that makes it feel unique from rest (rather different confession image with MU!/Robin + Lucina, the Hot Springs-conversation, the OST-image with Lucina having the very same flowers she got from MU!/Robin). But indeed, this can go in way of other pairings in the future if pushed around.
I would like to mention that alternate protrayels of characters isn't new. It's often done for the sake of satire, expanding on an otherwise flat character, or simply experimenting with how Character A would function in Scenario B. Typically said interpertations are based on some sort of trait or action, for example Kirby constantly being portrayed as a sociopath is influenced by details like Kirby Squeak Squad having the infamous plot of "Kirby's cake is stolen and he wants to avenge it" or how Kirby often brutally burns, freezes, electricutes, cuts, crushes, etc. his often times docile enemies.

In the case of Chrom, his protrayel as a loser will naturally cause people to depict him as a joke. However believe it or not, this isn't the first he's been painted as something else. The infamous part of the story where Chrom automatically marries whoever has the highest support caused people to depict him as either a waifu stealing jerk or a flat out rapist (even to the point of ****** LUCINA). There's also the protrayel where Chrom is this person that is constantly furious and will beat up anyone, which is based on his apparent habit of breaking things during training and the "Now I'm Angry" quote. Oh speaking of abusive, he was also depicted as an abusive father too, with a headcanon that he'd beat Sumia because she made a pie that he didn't like. So basically, him being protrayed in a negative way isn't new, in fact this recent depiction is actually tame compared to the others mentioned.

I would also like to mention an unfortunate truth that the writers are perfectly fine with depicting Chrom that way. In fact, staff at Intelligent Systems not stepping up to reject the script of one of their characters being treated like a joke kind of tells me that their trying to play it up as humor or don't care about Chrom.

Would help to have context with the original script, since this may be a dub only thing.




Palutena is bit of a mixed bag to me as of late when coming to character. Apparently her wittiness and snark now correspond to her being secretly mean to Pit and also huge egoism that can override feelings of others (basically Viridi's nicer version) and she also now possesses more sexual innuendo than Uprising could ever give to her, which I don't really enjoy.
The irony is that it's not too far off from the general Greek mythology depicting the gods as jerks or sexual. Kid Icarus plays with the former a lot more for obvious reasons. Though you have to admit some of her actions are rather mean, like turning Pit into live bait to lure out a Hewdraw or casually tossing aside Pit after he failed to defeat Link.

don't surprise me. It's stupid and I can ignore it.

I just don't know where people got the conclusion that Chrom is a rapist. Why do people say that?
Because people have weird...desires, let's call them, that lead them to believe these kind of things? However...

Palutena's a fantastic ****head and the quicker everyone realizes it, the better.
Something along the lines of "Palutena is a sadist and Pit is her chew toy" is not that:083: and has some merit to it.

She's a jerk.

Yes. They are coded as the fastest supports in the game. They are the closest you'll find to what's canon for Awakening in regards to pairings.

So essentially there is no canon?
Good. Most of these are terrible and make no sense. Even if they were considered the "right" pairings by the developers at the time, if canon pairings were ackowledged in the future they won't probably be influenced by what the fans prefer anyway. Besides the fact the personality/dialogue of the characters is different overseas so they probably make more sense there.

Yeah, that is odd. I've heard people claim Chrom to be abusive before, but I honestly never got that from him at all. The closest is that he's the most likely to break things according to his bio, but that doesn't imply abusiveness to me. I break stuff a lot, but I chalk it up to clumsiness more than anything.

Yeah, I remember reading someone talking about a fic they read where Robin was abusing Sumia to get with Chrom. Those people are a sadly vocal minority, from my experience. Usually, the majority is pretty sane. I've seen the same experience in the Pokémon shipping wars. Especially during fifth gen... Sweet Arceus, what some of those fics did to N, Hilda, Hilbert, and Cheren...

Whether I like a pairing or not, it sickens me when people really mess up a character just to get their favorites together or to rant about a character or pairing they hate. I hate quite a few pairings, but I'd never spite them in a story or even to their fans.

Anyway, Spotpassing has inspired me to try and build a decent team of ten for the long haul. I'm still debating on the final four (the first six are Robin with Chrom, Robin!Lucina with Gregor!Laurent, and Chrom!Morgan with Gaius!Cynthia). I'm leaning towards Henry!Owain with Donnel!Kjelle, Ricken!Nah with Lon'qu!Gerome, Kellam!Severa with Frederick!Lon'qu, Yen'fay, Lon'qu with Cherche, Cordelia with Kellam, Ricken with Nowi, Panne with Frederick, Libra!Noire with Virion!Inigo, Emmeryn, and Walhart as options.

They're about as canon as the destined pairings in FE4 are canon: There's good arguments and they mostly fit, but in the end, pairing the characters up is up to the player.

I honestly like this about Awakening. Yeah, some pairings have more "proof," but in the end, you get to choose. I'm also glad that SSB didn't flat out say who Lucina's mother was (or who the spouses of Robin and Chrom and Lucina are).

And if you don't like a pairing? No one is making you do it in your game. Don't like Chrom/Robin or Chrom/Sumia? Put him with Olivia, Sully, Maribelle, or even the Maiden instead. If you aren't a completionist, you technically don't even have to pair up anyone outside of Chrom.

Honestly, every Fire Emblem character in Smash sounds a bit out of character from Marth's "There's no way I can lose" to Ike's "You'll get no sympathy from me" to Male Robin's "I'm always three steps ahead" to Female Robin's "How can you protect Chrom if you can't protect yourself" and finally Lucina's victory quotes against Marth and Ike.

I rather like Lucina x Laurent and Lucina x Gerome too...

mai robin has seuss hat

me is happy :cheep:

Anywho...

Laurent is arguably my favorite non Robin pairing for Lucina next to Morgan because they do synergize well imho. Morgan wins because Galeforce and he's funny, but Laurent is still a close second.

My favorite Lucina pairing is Morgan when they aren't siblings/Morgan isn't the son of Owain (though I still prefer Morgan with Cynthia) and Laurent. I have a Robin/Lucina file as well just to see what it was like, and while their supports are so-so, I like the added dialogue to certain scenes and F!Morgan looks good in blue hair (and is deadly, to boot).

I really wish we could have more files. I don't want to use my battle slots because it's kind of a pain. Seriously, more files as DLC would be cool. I really, really want to try Robin/someone with another kid aside from Chrom and Robin/Robin exclusive spouse pairings, but I don't want to delete any of the ones I have right now. Besides, I'm focusing on my original file right now.

I really like Morgan x Ingio, though I don't know why. Oh and Morgan x Gerome is cute X3.

also hi Gradcidea Shaymin, how are you?

I haven't explored female Morgan's pairings much yet, so I'll see when I support her more.

And I'm fine. School is just too hectic right now. Nice to see you again!

Sassy Lucina is best Lucina tho
Agreed. Sassy :4robinf: is fun too and pretty in character with herself in Awakening (aside from her sort of cold Lucina victory quote, but I've heard they go at it in their non-mother-daughter support, and even when she's her mother, she can occasionally make remarks like in the Hot Spring Scramble, so maybe it is too).
