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

[Mr. Johan]

I'd go to photoshop and make my avatar-lookalike, but I'd be better off just having a picture of default Robin in that case.

Even right down to the hair too, since just applying conditioner to it makes my hair bleach blonde.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

Morgan Robin, Morgan Robin, Morgan Robin...

Also, yukata Lucina. Maybe they could give Pikachu Hilbert's hat, Nate's visor, and the cosplay outfits from OR/AS. Jigglypuff could get Lyra's hat, May's bow (or her old bandanna), and Hilda's hat.

Cosplay Pikachu would seriously make me consider maining him. The outfits are so cute and Belle Pikachu with Light Ball wrecks everyone on ORAS battlespot. It's so fun to have an electric mouse send icicles spiraling down onto your opponents dragon type

Sakurai could have continued the trend with , , and by making Lucas with a very similar but slightly different moveset, but then people really would have been complaining about the amount of clones.

Also is in a conquest now, so we should all try to show our support and beat that other lame excuse for a dinosaur
I mean he can't even fly or breathe fire like a normal drag- oh wait...

Personally, I can see Lucina and even Dr. Mario being okay as clones, but Dark Pit? I really think that clone spot should have been handed off to a different character like Lucas or maybe another somewhat popular character who might not deserve a full new moveset, such as Daisy.

Oh, Yoshi can't breathe fire? YOSHI, MEGA EVOLVE, GOOOOO

New typing: Fire/Dragon
Signature move: Is this canon?

I love my Pikachu Belle. I recently got a Light Ball via Dex Nav and she is now a beast. I'm using my Raichu for the Maison instead, though (along with Absol and Vileplume/Bellossom- not sure on which evo to go with).

Well, if you still have an Oddish, it can learn Moonblast at level 50 something (for some reason none of it's evolutions can) And a Vileplume with Energy Ball / Sludge Wave / Moonblast gives you fairly good coverage. Vileplume also got a +10 Special Attack to it's BST this generation, so I'd personally use that. Swords Dance Bellossom works as well if you need a physical attacker.

It's a Gloom, and I have no clue why it can't learn Moonblast. What a weird choice- most evos can learn their pre-evos moves later except cases like stone evolutions or Eevee's non-stone evolutions like Espeon where it changes typing. I'll probably make her a Vileplume either way, though.

NO GAMECUBE ADAPTERS...

WHY

Ahem, what's cooking mamas. I'm about to get my Smash U in 2 days hopefully. Can't wait to join ye!

 

[Deleted member]

So, I just turned 23 years old today.
23, the tenth prime number, and which make 2 + 3 = 5, my favorite number with the 2.

[ThunderSageNun]

Are you my twin
except different eyes
hello twin

"who's that hedgehog that looks like my twin?"

I guess that with a million players playing the game ending up with similar looking Robin's is possible

 

[Aunt Jemima]

I'm one of those lame people who use the default Avatar and kept my name as Robin

also TIL pink F!Robin is best Robin

 

[AustarusIV]

So I went ahead and found this...

Apparently, Santa's a Chrom supporter. Go figure.

 

[Raziek]

I'm pretty sure that's just Santa disapproving of Robin's rampant enthusiasm for breeding child super-soldiers.

Some of the marriage options could lead to the naughty list as well. My male Robin married his best friend's daughter, and my third Robin married a rabbit guy who's the son of a couple of her friends. And then there's Nowi...

[ThunderSageNun]

what did I do wrong

 

[Pazzo.]

If you could change one thing about Robin in SSB4, what would it be?

I'd give him/her slightly more running speed.

 

[AustarusIV]

Find a way to implement Ignis into his/her moveset.

It could probably replace Nosferatu, adding more magic power to their tomes/Levin Sword while cutting back on something else (like their overall weight or speed).

Just something off the top of my head.

Morgan alts for both genders.

I'd probably tweak Nosferatu or replace it with something else. With how slow it is, it usually doesn't come in handy too often. Then again, I have been surprise-Nosferatu'd before by a CPU.

There's also the fact that Robin can't Nosferatu unless s/he is a Dark Mage or Sorcerer. I like the Ignis idea @ AustarusIV suggested, or maybe Robin could have different swords with the ability to switch them around a la Shulk's Monado. Any of them breaking would still lead to a short time of Bronze Sword, though.
Levin Sword- Can cover distance.
Killing Edge- Speedier, but lighter. Could also function a little like Marth's tipper.
Armor Killer- Heavier, but stronger.
Silver Sword- A stronger Bronze Sword, the happy medium of the group.
Wyrmslayer- Strong against ATs, bosses, and Pokéball Pokémon.
Soothing Sword- Heals a tiny bit of Robin's HP (would need something to make sure it isn't broken).
Glass Sword- The strongest of them all and not as slow as Armor Slayer, but breaks VERY quickly.

 

[Raziek]

Literallly everybody is sleeping on Nosferatu's usefulness and I cannot understand why.

IT'S A COMMAND GRAB.

Do Smashers just not grasp how ridiculously good that is? >_>

wat was i tagged for

isn't it obvious? for being 'cool'

 

[LIQUID12A]

sure, ofc, but there's clearly an edit there, suggesting that she typed my name when meaning to tag someone else.

Just wanna know for what.

Wait... isn't the default? I only see her alt, , whenever I go to the css.

Hooded alt so I can spout out Palpatine quotes while casting Thoron+.

[SyncNatsyu]

I was gonna ask this in the jiggs social but it's not active enough.

Does anyone else sometimes feel that a Jiggs walking towards you is the most threatening thing ever? not specifically for robin or anything just in general.(I'm totally not looking for ways as a jiggs main to scare people)

EDIT: Kinda reminds me of a Bowser in ssb4 walking...

That pink fairy puffball just taking a leisurely stroll over to you is horrifying. Will she grab? Fair? Use pound on your shield? If you want to make people feel threatened with her, you're doing it right. If you want to make them so scared they'll cry, just throw them off the stage.

Actually, no, I don't.

 

[False Sense]

Hmm... I think I'd have to provide two answers for this one:

1.) In terms of Robin him/herself, I'd like to have at least one reference to Grima. I'd like to be able to see Robin unleash his/her inner dark god in some capacity.

2.) In terms of Robin's gameplay, it'd be nice if his/her grabs (including Nosferatu) had just a little more range to them. As it is, they're surprisingly short. Even a slight buff to their range could be a huge boost.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I love what they did with Robin in this game.

Literallly everybody is sleeping on Nosferatu's usefulness and I cannot understand why.

Do Smashers just not grasp how ridiculously good that is? >_>

Well, it's not the easiest move to use (making the most out of it requires a certain level of skill and precision to pull off), and a lot of people don't know how useful a command grab is.

Heck, I doubt I even fully grasp how ridiculously good it is.

You need to really feel it At least the way I think is like I replace a punish with a Dsmash or Fsmash with a Nosferatu and heal myself.

Also I finished my last test and I'm finally out and graduated from High School. My holidays begin today and I'm going to play loooots of Smash.

Nosferatu is also good after conditioning your opponent. For example, if you keep attacking your opponents after a jump they're eventually gonna respond with a shield if they don't already. Train them to do that, then bam, nosferatu.

Also congrats on your congratulations. May the tactics be with you and always be in your favor.

 

[Mr. Johan]

A lot of people shield on reaction when I come down on them from the air.

They still haven't learned to avoid that yet. Think I siphoned at least 1000% from them at this point.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

Jab 1 > Nosferatu is fun and works a lot of the time. If you just got off your opponents stock and they're thirsty for the kill with predictable moves, get ready to punish with Nosferatu if you're at a high %.

 

[Drakonis]

If you could change one thing about Robin in SSB4, what would it be?

I'd give him/her slightly more running speed.

Change the Levin Sword to any sword (except the bronze one, of course).
It just bugs me that Robin would be stupid enough to pack high level magic... and then more firepower that targets resistance instead of defense. Not only that, but also in an elemental type he/she already has covered in spades!

...

I can't be the only one to think that's kinda stupid on a characters that's otherwise such a loveletter to FE mechanics, right?

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

If you could change one thing about Robin in SSB4, what would it be?

I'd give him/her slightly more running speed.

The only thing I would change about Robin is to have his/her Final Smash include other Awakening characters, complete with their charming personalities. Morgan since he/she is Robin's child, Tharja because CREEPY HILLARIOUS STALKER IN HD, and maybe another fan favorite that doesn't have to be related to Robin. I can see why they didn't do this though, since adding all those extra characters, voice clips, and different attacks would take a LOT of work.

 

[Dropkick Laser]

If you could change one thing about Robin in SSB4, what would it be?

Entrance with Robin either floating down with his hood like in the trailer, or his sword-flourish from Awakening.
Arcfire charges to Bolganone if you hold the input. Really just for style points.
Yep, more running speed.
Ignis-enhanced smash attacks. Though maybe lightning and fire together would be a bit too much...
Victory screen with Chrom and Lissa. Because Lissa is just too cute. Fits in story-wise too.
More alts? Of course I'd love more alts.
Possibly more range on Nosferatu?
Ok, maybe that was a bit much for "one" thing I could change.

And @ Drakonis , while I would have agreed with you a couple of months ago, at this point, the Levin Sword is always going to be Robin's calling card. And one special, even one as intricate as thunder, is not "spades." I do see where you're coming from, though. Long live LS.

Well they already put in the effort to give them some damn feet. Anything is possible at this point.

A Frederick Assist Trophy would have been fitting and pretty hype. Just him dashing across the screen, very strong at the beginning and near useless at the end

Change one thing? Umm... Maybe change Arcfire into a flamethrower. 'Cause you know... that's what it did.
