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

[The_Cardinal]

Alright lady and gentlemen tacticians, I need a little advice.

I've had in my signature some potential mains and secondary characters for a while. I'd like to cut some to concentrate on a smaller number, but I'm having a hard time deciding who to get rid of.

and aren't going anywhere.

: I enjoy both, probably don't want to loose unless I can find a very large, game breaking flaw (which I don't think exists).

: My second favorite newcomer. If anything, I love his physics, as he controls really well.

: Aside from my huge love of Kid Icarus (which I won't get in the way of dropping Pit), I enjoy Pit for the same reasons I played him in Brawl. Good spacing character with lots of fun tools.

: Fun as heck when I play him right. Zoning with the magic satchel is what connects TL to Mega Man, and gives me a reason to enjoy both.

: Best defensive character I've played. Along with his mastery of the air, G&W can go deep offstage with that handy Up-B.

So what do you all think? Who should get the cut, and why? I've played every character in the game, but is there a character that would be a better fit or cover the strengths of two or more of these characters?

Any advice is welcome.

Well if you insist on cutting your character list but keeping Ness and Robin, I'd personally recommend cutting everyone else and focusing on either Pit or Luigi. I say this because they, compared to your characters can afford to be more aggressive, which would balance out Ness and Robin. Luigi has better combos and a fantastic nair that often breaks combos but Pit has more options overall. In the end, however, it's obviously your choice so do whatever you want.

I'm having the same issue...My mains are , , and , but I have some sort of gift with , and strangely love the way plays, I use and because of course I do, and I don't know why but I'm really feeling it for 's playstyle.

 

[Shaymikyu]

and are definitely my top 2, but after that, it keeps changing.

 

[Drakonis]

Currently, a new Conquest is up and running under the title "Ties that bind".
One of the Team is comerades. containing Robin and Lucina. The other two are "Brothers" with Mario and Luigi and "Father and Son" with Bowser and Roy.

Have fun tipping the scales!

Have you tried cup holders?

Man, I'm impressed with how some of you can balance this juggling act with so many characters. I'm considering a fourth character to balance my team (, , , and , aka I have a fetish for swords apparently), but whenever I see the roster I just go "No, no, no, definitely no, Oh God No, hovers over Fox but then hears his English voice, LOL NOPE."

I'm juggling five characters at the moment: , , , and . and are taking priority over the other three, so I might not be as good as I could be with them, but I still perform well with them.

As for Fox, I can agree that his voice is slightly cringe-worthy, but that really shouldn't stop anyone from using him if he fits their playstyle. Falco's voice isn't all that great either, was better in SSBB.

I miss hearing Wolf's voice...

Was listing twice intentional?

I found it clever that they had Robin team up with Lucina. You know, Invisible Ties... that is a pretty nice reference.

I'm sorry Tacticians, but I have to help Luigi. I did aid him in the "Noobs!" Conquest, though.

As for my mains... well, isn't it obvious that Luigi is my main? Shulk is my second main since I love his Monado Arts and range, but I don't think that he complements Luigi at all.
Robin is a secondary for me, though. I am juggling around with Greninja and seeing if he is truly right for me; the patch made me a bit sour.

Yeah, listing twice was intentional, lol. It just shows how much I use her compared to the other 2 swordsmen. I tell myself I need to use and more, especially since I think that on a good day I'm actually best with Marth (tippers for life). But I can't help it. She's just too fun and it helps that I do legitimately like Robin as a character, so there's character love at stake.

I actually think the two characters you play cover each well. You don't really have to be hard pressed to find another character, unless of course, its for fun which I totally get.

Well, is just that awesome.

And it is mainly for fun. I feel comfortable enough using and without feeling like I'm missing something to cover for another character.

 

[CosmicFuzz]

I've been in the same boat as the fellow tacticians, with my mains being and secondaries being

I will most likely drop the dong and old man Ganon because they're too dang big and laggy against the faster opponents.

That song brings back so many fond memories...

There's something about it that I find remarkably beautiful and soothing, and it's always been one of my favorite Smash-original pieces.

I'm thinking I might do the same.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

Oh, talk about mains?
Mains:
Secondaries / not sure if I should even call them that since I use them almost as much as my mains:

I love all their playstyles, the characters themselves, and of course it helps that Xenoblade Chronicles, FEA, Metroid Prime, and SMG are my favorites games of all time, in order respectively.

I forgot this song existed...I..MEMORIES..this is definitely my menu song now. SO BEAUTIFUL

 

[Pazzo.]

I usually have either Brawl's Online room playing or Melee's menu.

As for mains, I decided to focus on three, and have 3-4 as subs. Now to start cutting characters..

 

[Célja]

My mains actually switched once I actually started playing Smash 4. I originally was going to main since he was my absolute favorite from Y and have as a secondary. However once I started to play more I found Robin to be more fun.

Main: /
Secondaries: ,
Thirds : ,
Pocket: ,,,,

 

[False Sense]

In terms of mains... Well, at this point, I can only truly say that I main . He's the character I've used the most and am best with by far at this point. Seriously, no one else even remotely comes close.

That being said, I do have other character I am somewhat proficient with and plan to do more training with, those being , , and (also 99.99% going to main when he comes out). Aside from those, I'm still experimenting with other characters to see what works (or at least, when I'm not trying to train up to become the best Robin player I can be).

 

[Mr. Johan]

All day every day.

 

[Doroco]

So has any one tried the game what time is it mister wolf except robin and scale tipping? Also i main marth and robin, with a casual diddy, pikachu and jiggs

 

[PK Gaming]

Sticking with the bishie sword trio for life

 

[LIQUID12A]

I will not change from this unless the next DLC happens to be someone I really want, in which case Samus is at risk of elimination.

THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T USE THIS AS A MENU SONG BEFORE, IT'S AMAZING:

The only menu music I ever have playing is this and the two Melee menu themes.
Brawl's Menu theme, while great, is a bit too heavy for me, and Smash 4's theme has gotten really old, really fast.

I really wish this was also a menu theme:

This is the one that played during the first Smash Direct.

 

[Drakonis]

My most played characters (still) are:

Tips the scales!
Super fighting runner up! MEGA MAN!
These three wanna be my third best. Like only two others are.
Are also still kinda feeling it.

They appear to be, ah. Touching swords. Ahem.

Fiora knows where this is going.

Ah, I see we are talking about mains and secondaries once more! Allow me to chime in as well. ^w^

is slowly growing on me again, but he is borderline-secondary right now still. We'll see where he falls eventually. If is ever DLC (even as an alt), though, he's taking that spot easily.

 

[Kenith]

Me too...

Main:
Secondary:
I Tried This Character for Fun BUT I LIKE SO MUCH NOW:
Character's I've Lost Faith In (Wanted to play but just can't stand to use):

 

[timetotipthescales]

Well, I'm still figuring out a lot of that whole Main, Secondary, and stuff but here's my general list :D
THE MAINS
"Time to tip the scales!"
"Okay!"
I actually picked up Ness today out of a whim, and he's so much fun to play as! Those magnet F-air chains and his Bthrow is so much fun to play with, and there's so many options to do with him!

THE SECONDARIES
"Tongue or scarf?"
"Stay still!"
I figured that I needed some fast, quick-hitter charas in case of the projectile users not being able to keep up, so I figured that Greninja, and ZSS were quick, and cool enough to be considered secondaries. Still gotta learn how to do that lovely gimp with Greninja, though.

THE THIRDS
"Watch the power of Aura!"
"Kekeke...."
"Show ya moves!"

THE POCKET

 

[False Sense]

Is it just me, or do a lot of Robin players also enjoy playing as Ness?
