Am I the only one who thinks Morgan being Lucina's younger sibling make the most sense? Support wise, Lucina having Kjelle being her sister is out of character. Kjelle, freaking out over a bug? Pshh. She'd kill it without a second thought.
Don't lie to me, you can totally see Inigo freaking out over a bug. :p

Lucina and Morgan as siblings always seemed canon to me as I always (three times) marry Robin to Chrom.

Guys, in case you haven't told each other this already, the way it works is quite simple.
See that future? Never happened. It's the Future Past, so to speak. (And you thought that was a stupid title.) While it may be remembered, your mere existence as part of a group has changed it.
You know who this is said:
“We're not pawns of some scripted fate. I believe we're more. Much more... There's something between us all. Something that keeps us together... Like...invisible ties, connecting us.”
The ties have changed.
No Naga was needed to be involved.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?
Well, if you aren't playing as a female Robin, you aren't given the option to marry Chrom. So, it's fairly easy to not pair them together.

Robin can be male? Wat, dat impssibl doe!

What would be the point if I want to pair Robin with Lon'qu or Basilio? Why is gay marriage not a thing?! NINTENDO!

You know, maybe this discussion is starting to go a little too far...

And of course you people completely ignore my post.
Even on the Internet, I'm a third wheel to other people's arguments.

For any future discussion, please see Tomodachi Life.

Now back to Robin.

It was a little hard to read....

No it doesn't make it any easier. I just end up deleting my Robin♂ to create a Robin♀.

Even now on this file, I keep telling myself I will hook up Chrom to Olivia, but it's never too late! Robin, you still have time! Tell Chrom how you feel, before the scripture has been etched onto the planate tablet of his heart...

So, does anyone have some ideas about Smash related Robin topics that would be worth discussing?
Is robin or chrom the more likely to be in smash?
I feel like robin chances are almost as high as chromes now with Ike being Confirmed.

Is talking about our choices with Robin in her own game of origin really that bad?

Well, at this point, I honestly do think that Chrom is still the more likely. Most people think he's a shoo-in for a reason, after all; he's one of the main characters of Awakening and, most importantly, he's the actual face of the game. He's the most obvious choice for a new Fire Emblem character.

But with that said, I do think Robin's chances have been increasing, and that many people tend to greatly underestimate them. He/She can offer something truly unique to the roster, which seems to be quite important to Sakurai this time around, and what little in game evidence we have seems to point towards Robin rather than Chrom. So, is Robin more likely than Chrom? I'd love to be convinced otherwise, but at this point, I'm going to say no. But Robin still have a very real chance of being playable, I think.

Robin is more likely to be in Smash.
On that note, what's your reasoning here? I'd very much like to know.

What's your logic?
It was merely an arbitrary sentiment; I do have some logic to support it, but I am so lazy that I do not want to collect my thoughts and type it all up. Not only that; but I am not entirely confident in her chances, it might honestly be one of the only characters with a 50/50 chance. Her aesthetic and game-play related diversity along with her prominence and notable role as the Avatar are enough to make her as recognizable as Chrom within the fan-base. However, if Sakurai just caters to Fire Emblem from the surface, Chrom seems the most likely as he is more marketable.

Sooo... apparently we're trapped in a vicious cycle of "What are Robin's chances"->Honest answers->Derailing->"Anybody have anything 'Robin in Smash'-related to say?"->"What are Robin's chances?"->...

I don't think we'll hear much else until after Nintendo's E3 conference, tbh :D

Well, I think Robin had good chances for the same reason Greninja even happened at all.

Toon Link and Lucas, no offence, are bad decisions for a number of reasons, but how those characters were chosen is likely very different from this scenario. Intelligent Systems and the Pokemon Company both have hundreds of characters they got to keep note of for their respective IPs. If Sakurai wanted a unique character specifically, no reason why they would suggest Chrom.

You're right... it's a never ending cycle... just like the Gematsu Leak! :troll:

Speaking of the Gematsu Leak..... If it's true, Robin will not be in the game, as Chrom will be the Awakening rep.

Of course; however, the same could be said about almost every other support thread. If there was anything definitive for any character, there would be no discussion. I do believe that Robin's chances have significantly increased though, upon learning that the trophy quiz theme was hers, I am more hopeful. The stage reveal did not reveal much, but it confirms our expectations... and I believe it is safe to say that we all expect Robin, correct?

AND WHENEVER I TRY TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING FUN YOU PEOPLE COMPLAIN D:<
I wonder if the reason sakurai wants to include gender swapable characters is because it increases the chances of porn being made.
You are very inappropriate.

I think I like you.

Come to think of it, if Sakurai is looking for a unique character... IS shows him Chrom, he says no, then they show him Robin...?

Um...

Well, I think I just answered that question a few minutes ago...
I understand that this is the Robin support thread, I was not necessarily looking for an answer. :awesome:

Then he says, yes!
