He's more of other side of the coin, with one side being Chrom. To me, he inherently isn't a curveball character. I was thinking more like the Chorus Men, characters that have no real reasons to be considered a plausible candidate outside of that leak.
I'm pretty sure Shulk has blonde hair...
This makes me worried it may happen
It looks pretty white to me. But I won't argue with you on what.
I doubt it, but a few cameos would be nice.
Technically, the avatar concept is already recurring.
Welcome to the boards! Don't worry, we don't bite. Unless you say something stupid in which case we crunch your head off into oblivion.
Welcome to Smashboards! Thanks for showing your support for Robin!
I have used the Chrom avatar for just about everything since I played Awakening... I've jsut sort of got used to using him as a part of my identity at this point. xD
Can I just call you Chrom 2.0 then?
One of us, one of us, one of us!
I'd rather not. I had enough traumatic head-crushing with GoT this week.
Sure why not, I could get used to that. I find I could identify well with Chrom which is part of the reason I use him as my Avatar.
HEY, I've seen you both on Youtube and in the IGN PotD comments. Welcome to the Boards!
I think of the sword being more of a tool than a true weapon for Robin, something usable given the proper situation but nothing to be relied on. Every tactician needs a plan B.HEY, I've seen you both on Youtube and in the IGN PotD comments. Welcome to the Boards!
At any rate, I agree with your idea of Robin leaning more heavily towards the magic side with regards to her moveset. As you said, I also don't see Robin as a "master of the sword" (for me, it has to do partially that her jacket just makes her look closer to a mage than a mercenary or swordmaster). Also, from a completely irrelevant standpoint, I think that Robin should incorporate magic more since magic is often seen as a weapon of the "intellectuals" since its mastery comes moreso from taking the time to study and experiment with the arcane arts as opposed to pure practice and combat experience like sword combat. Since magic typically is used by "intellectual" individuals, I feel it would be a strong representation of Robin as it would exemplify her intelligence and support the fact that, as a tactician, she must have a great intellect in order to prevent losses in combat for the Shepherds.
Agreed. Honestly, I think the sword should barely play any role, if at all. Make it a relatively light sword so it doesn't cause much of a problem, and only use it for a few attacks, but otherwise have a tome out at all times. Robin can still be a tactical character even when 90% of the moveset is magic.HEY, I've seen you both on Youtube and in the IGN PotD comments. Welcome to the Boards!

No, long before I even starting visiting Smashboards (I lurked here for about a month as a guest right after the Direct) I would lurk on the IGN PotD page and just scroll through the comments to read what comments people were making on the pictures, I also used the IGN page because sometimes the descriptions would explain part of the pictures I might not have understood. I do the same with Youtube, and you'd be correct with the GameXplain remark, they're one of the channels I watch for Smash Bros. discussion when I get the time.
Tomes make the Levin Sword basically obsolete outside of something such as Tomebreaker which is a lot more situational than simply having a physical option for something resistant to magic. That being said I always imagined Robin using the brave sword if they went for the Grandmaster appearance and the bronze sword if they went for the Tactician's look. But maybe that's just me.
Well its nice to know I at least stand out a little (unlike Kellam..) but every time I heard of a "Smash board" I never thought it was LITERALLY smashboards(.)com until I heard about it on Japan Time smashbros podcast. I read a few things here the past few weeks but this was the first thread that interested me enough to get me to start discussing things with everyone.
I think the original Tactician design would be better. It's more iconic and would be easier to make, I think. Ike's Radiant Dawn update isn't really a comparable situation.
Completely different situation. Ike has always been in his starter outfit. Ike was updated to look like his appearance in the next game, but its still his starter outfit. Same thing with Roy. If Robin is added, it'd be the same thing.
In all promotional art for the game, the Tactician's outfit is used, and it's more Iconic, as it's what the avatar is always in during the cut-scenes.
Plus I want to see how they animate the robes

. No shame in having a Chrom avatar. He's a pretty handsome guy and an all around cool character.
Well, I'd probably force myself to like Robin's play style regardless. As Robin is one of my most wanted characters, I'd just adapt to whatever he/she offers.
Given my borderline obsessive devotion to the Fire Emblem Franchise as a whole, I can't even imagine myself not liking the playstyle of any FE character that was added, especially Robin, who is one of the FE characters who I feel would have an easy-to-create, and thus, easy-to-like, playstyle because of the many options for variability that she has.
I think its more likely we'll get a remake of the Jugdral games, but we'll see. I do think they may go with the "Tactician" name, though.
Maybe all the Game of Thrones hype will convince Nintendo that all the incest is cool in the game. I've never played them so I'd love a remake.
I'm definitely thinking the Tactician will be appearing again. In a remake of the Jugdral games I definitely see the Tactician coming back as well as a new addition. Probably not outright replacing the game's existing Tacticians, but perhaps working in conjunction with them.
No way. Within a month of playing the game, 90% of us will be playing the character who is most fun and fitting for us, myself included. Unless I specifically hate a character like I do Sonic, I'll go with who ever works.
Don't bother. I just accept that I'll have to miss things.Haven't checked this thread since Friday, and just read all 14 pages to catch up....where's my life
Calm your **** guys, I can't keep up.
As for the 3 hours thing its not like we all sit here posting to this page all day... right? >.>
