Ah. Yes, that's all I need.

Robin's nose confirmed as only fire emblem newcomer.

Robin's nose is still a better Fire Emblem Newcomer than Chrom, unfortunately. I mean, a floating nose is pretty unique, you could even change the color of her nose hair!

I was starting to doubt Robin; however, this conversation is objective proof that Robin is in the game. I can finally stop worrying! Thank you so much.

But, at this rate we will overtake the Chrom thread. Huzzah!

Since there is so much activity and I can't turn away for a moment without a flood of new posts to read, and there will no doubt be new posts by the time I finish this, I'll just type this without quoting anyone specifically. Please understand.

I would like to think Fire Emblem fans have actually been treated very well, compared to other franchises.

Have we ever really been trolled so far? I wouldn't say so. If you think you have been trolled as a Robin supporter, clearly you're not a Palutena or Ridley fan. Few things are a more deliberate troll than the Pseudo Palutena trophy quiz, or that "enemy from Samus's past that could appear from the background at any moment, but we'll never show you him. **** you, nerds. You are going to buy the game whether or not Space Barney appears or not. Maybe this will teach you to stop staying up into the darkest hours of the night, jeopardizing your school/work life, just for a ****ing screenshot of a game that will be out in less than a year anyways."

Yeah, they showed the Tiki trophy. At least it was pretty respectful. "Sorry, we were not able to put Tiki into the game, but we gave her character model feet, look! Also, here is the best music from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Please understand."

So guys, what do you think Robin's trailer will be like if she gets in SSB4?

She will wake up in a field where a blue-haired Lord would then proceed to help her up, Kirby will also be in there somewhere doing something.

So guys, what do you think Robin's trailer will be like if she gets in SSB4?

We see all of chrom's army get their arses handed to them, thousands die, Crom asks: Where's robin?

10 mins earlier....

ROBIN TIPS THE SCALES!!!!!

 

[Pazzo.]

So guys, what do you think Robin's trailer will be like if she gets in SSB4?

*Obligatory Smash 4 logo*

The scene opens with a field, and Link, Marth, and Ike walking through it. As they march, a Risen soldier appears. Ike cuts it down, but another appears. Then another, until all three characters are surrounded. They grip their swords, prepare for battle, when a flash of a blade is seen. On of the Risen falls, a sword impaling him. The rest turn to see a cloaked figure.

*Robin Tips the Scales!*

*Gameplay, shows off magic and swordplay, along with both male and female costumes*

At the end, Robin raises a tome, the pages flip, and the Risen are burned with Elfire. More Risen can be seen in the distance, but Robin turns to the three heroes and smiles confidently. The final shot shows the four preparing to fight.

Good grief. I go away for a couple of hours and this thread is 4 pages up. Am I in the Smash 4 social thread all of a sudden?

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

So guys, what do you think Robin's trailer will be like if she gets in SSB4?

Samus is walking alone in the core of Zebes. All of the sudden, a flash of purple! Samus turns around and sees nothing. Suddenly, she's hit by a fireball. She's knocked down. She looks up and...

Purple haired Robin with a fire tome!

"Robin is not too big for this game!"

Cue Sakurai's unending laughter.

 

[Pazzo.]

This is how it goes.

It would actually be interesting if there was an immaculate scale. Completely and utterly un-tipped, only to have Robin jump on one end. It would probably be better than even Little Mac's trailer.

It's unfortunate that an equal analogy for the tipping of scales cannot really be found in the Japanese version of the game.

So guys, what do you think Robin's trailer will be like if she gets in SSB4?

- Smash logo

- Cuts to the dark study seen in the menu screen of Awakening. An open roster of the Smash characters can be seen, with indecipherable text next to each picture, meant to depict biographies and abilities. Meanwhile, grunting and rustling can be heard.

- Scene cuts to a war-styled game board placed on a table in the same room. Figurines of Marth, Ike, Yoshi, and Lucario can be seen while the mysterious person making the noises flashes in and out of the screen, practicing sword strikes and magic motions.

- A lone piece is on the other side of the board, and as if by magic, the piece begins moving on its toward the figurines. As the person's attacks become more dynamic and tense, the figure advances towards to the pieces, knocking them down one by one in sync with each attack the person uses.

- The cloaked person then unleashes an Ignis blast, blasting the table away, and making the study room a complete mess.

- The cloaked figure surveys the damage caused, smirks, and removes the hooded part of the cloak. He/She boldly claims "Checkmate."

- ROBIN TIPS THE SCALES

- Gameplay trailer showing off Robin and the Coliseum.

- Trailer ends with Robin walking towards the exit of the study room heading outside, towards Chrom and others from the Yllisean Guard. Meanwhile, the roster of Smash characters closes shut by a gust of wind. The Smash logo is seen on the cover. The lone figurine is revealed as a Robin figure, as is shown bent towards the spine of the roster. End.

I'll be honest. That's not only wholly original, but way better than what I had. >.>

Good work.

You make the rest of our ideas sound bad!

 

[Mr. Johan]

Well, I had the Nintendo NFC Figurines news to inspire part of that.

And I feel it would be great to see tactician-like set pieces in such a trailer too. Robin isn't just a sword-wielder and magic user after all. Little Mac's trailer depicted him in his own element, it makes sense for Robin to be in a similar setting.

 

[Kind Dedede]

I'd like the open field trailer the best, seeing as how they said they would meet again. Having Marth, Ike & Link find her instead of Chrom (if he isn't also playable) would be like a little mini plot that awakening didn't include. Having him/her getting worked up and getting ready to fight until we see they're in the coliseum and they encounter the stage hazard/boss (Grima?) Would make for a great way to show off new stage, character and hazard all in one easy go while sticking to the script awakening had.

Also like how my question on Robin being female turned this place into a frenzy. Nice! I still married Chrom to Olivia though for free Galeforce.

I like the incorporation of chess imagery into the trailer. That was one of Robin's traits that I really liked in Awakening.

Edit: Oh yeah, I leave for a meal and come back to see that we've gotten another page. I just hope all this Robin support is an indication that Robin is more likely than we thought, and not just some passing trend.

 

[Hong]

It just suits the character a lot better.

I don't think Robin is the kind of character who gets out of bed and fights hordes of Risen in the morning while cooking breakfast. Seems like the moment she finds out she will be fighting like 40 some characters she has never heard of before, she will be hitting the lab, or in this case, study, to best understand her opponents in detail. She will want to know everything about her opponents. Their strengths, weaknesses, experiences, what they are capable of. She's not like Little Mac who really needs someone to tell her how to train or what to do.

In that sense, she would not be far from the story of Snake entering the Brawl.

Well, Robin isn't quite as adept at the art of cardboard box espionage, so dossiers of the fighters will have to do. :b

 

[Pazzo.]

Chess? Heck yes. Maybe Robin's Final Smash will have Him/Her turning everyone into chess pawns then moving them foolishly.

 

[Hong]

That's an idea.

If Morgan is chosen as a character, perhaps she could pretend her hand is Master Hand, and she can hum the Final Destination music while playing with the trophies on a table. :b

Would be really cute.

 

[Weeman]

I could see Robin's trailer being used for Wario too, "Robin tips the scales!" *Wario appears* "But Wario tips 'em back!"

 

[Pazzo.]

On another line of Robin..

One thing that I loved about Awakening was the avatar. FE players already cared about the characters, but actually placing yourself into the game (or at least an extension of yourself), you become 'that' much more involved with them. I know I've said it before, but most war games can't make you think like that, think around the safety of your men.

 

[mimgrim]

Damn. I still can't think of a good Uspecial for Robin. Wind is the obvious choice, but I got that with Sspecial. What's a good way to a Uspecial of fire or lightning but still leaving it as a

type of move.

I agree, I really did like how Robin (or rather, the representation of you and your decisions) was presented in Awakening. I especially like how you can do whatever you want with Robin; you can re-class him/her into anything, you can marry him/her to anyone you want, and what decisions Robin makes can have an impact on the game, whether it was a story-driven decision or one made on the battlefield. As a representation of the player, you have complete control over your own destiny in the game; you can influence what kinds of paths the other characters will take, but it's ultimately you that can do anything you like.

I've said this before, but I think that while Chrom may be the face of Awakening, Robin is the heart. And I think the heart is more important.
