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

[mimgrim]

So a shift in my moveset idea.

Dspecial is going to work the same, but it is now aesthetically fire now instead of dark.

Uspecial will now be dark based instead. It will work like this; Robin will create two dark spheres of energy that circle around Robin. After this Robin can do multiple things with them, leave them in place, send them in any direction, hit them, or jump on one of them and then the other. To leave them in place a air dodge or spot dodge must be preformed. You can send them in any direction with the control stick, but only one at a time, and even have limited control over them. If you hit them they will explode. To jump on one of them you do Uspecial again, if he summons them in the and you double tap the Special button he will jump on the first one immediately after summoning them.

Dead Chrom for final smash. Robin just tosses him at people.

This thread is starting to creep onto Shulk and Isaac territory. Have any of you seen how big this thread is?

Of course, it's nothing compared to Ridley's thread, but still...

You simply cannot compare anything to the Ridley thread.

But, wow, you're right about Shulk. To think that Robin, of all characters, could eventually match up to Shulk...

You know, one thing I was thinking of was giving the specials very simplistic names that are not element specific. Like, for a special that fires projectiles, it could be "Smite" or "Barrage" or something.

I say this because it leaves doors open for custom special moves. So like, a wind variant of a projectile passes through enemies, a thunder version pauses in the air and acts as a timed bomb, and a fire version is like the thunder version, only acts as a mine.

There are so many interesting implications for Robin when it comes to the custom special move system, though we can't speculate much on the subject until we know what her special moves are.

So many possibilities for a move set that can be explored...

I hope Sakurai realizes this potential.

Sspecial - Tornado

Uspecial - Balls

Dspecial - Mine

Nspecial - Charge

Can't get more simple then that. xD

I don't think we really need to worry about moves' names when it comes to custom specials. We've seen Kirby's suction change into ice breath.

I might seem like Johnny-come-lately with this, but count me in.

We're damn near guaranteed to get a character from Awakening, and while Chrom may be a good choice for the most obvious reason (main lord of the game, considered to be the main character by most), Robin's a better choice for all the not so obvious reasons. His (or her) hybrid swords-and-magic fighting style would be a breath of fresh air when Fire Emblem's two reps so far are pure swordsmen and Smash has very few magic users, and Sakurai said uniqueness is a major part of deciding what characters to add. The new modular movesets could allow for many different spells and skills that'd let players tailor their version of Robin to suit their playstyle, just like in Awakening. The inclusion of both male and female versions of the Villager and Wii Fit Trainer open the door for Robin's male and female incarnations to both be playable. And hey, he (or she) becomes just as important as Chrom by the end of the game.

Can I say I'm impressed by all the support? We've--can I say we yet?--cracked the top 10 in character threads despite nearly all the others having a 9 month head start. If we'd been--heh heh--paired up when the others had (or, more realistically, if we had known as much about Robin during Awakening's development that we knew about Chrom), this thread might be unseating Palutena for #3.

So I guess to all fellow tacticians: Today, all our planning and discussing may come to fruition. We may be left waiting for longer, or maybe another character will reveal themselves to represent Awakening. But for better or worse, time for us to see if our thoughts are shared by the developers. Time to see if these invisible ties will give us the future we've hoped for.

And just maybe...time to tip the scales.

 

[Drakonis]

Welcome! Glad to see the streams of new supporters show no signs of stopping :3

6 hours until we might find out more...

All of those quips!

Wish you were around here sooner. No shortage of humour around these parts, but the more the merrier. We can't always have Robin, but we can always have a good time. This way, no matter what happens, we always win.

 

[Nightshade98]

Holy crap the thread activity went up a lot, 10 pages more. Glad to see the support, I completely forgot it was already E3 so I guess we'll see what happens today and hope for everyone's favorite tactician. Now I go back to lurking in the shadows.

 

[Pazzo.]

Here we are loyal Tacticians... let's hope that our favorite avatar get drafted this morning. *Crosses Fingers*

 

[DarkChaosGames]

1 hour away for the Nintendo presentation... part of me expects the character reveals to be reserved for Sakurai's 90 minute smash bros. discussion. Time will tell.

On that note, do we have any idea what time we're going to start seeing Smash stuff specifically during E3?

 

[DarkChaosGames]

No idea I'd like to know as well, from what I understand there is a 90 minute time slot reserved for just smash and another 90 minutes for an "unannounced 3DS game".

In the mean time I'm going to watch all of the character reveal trailers....

I was under the impression that Nintendo's segment of E3 was three hours total, so wouldn't two 90 minute showcases would take up the whole thing? Then again, I'm still not sure how this whole thing is set up. I just hope I don't miss anything for some reason...

[ToothiestAura]

I wanted to get my updated Robin moveset out before Nintendo's presentation, but that isn't going to happen.

 

[DarkChaosGames]

Alright thanks, so the smash Q&A is after the tournament. Can't wait!

My body is ready.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

I wish you all luck.

I've never been 100% in Robin's camp, but I'd not be grieved to see her, like Corn or Rye.

 

[Drakonis]

All right, folks. Let's do this!

 

[Smallgenie549]

All right, folks. Let's do this!

Can't wait!

 

[Weeman]

Let's go oh the hype!

 

[Smallgenie549]

Wario and Ganondorf!

 

[Drakonis]

Miis confirmed... Good for their crowd, I guess. The leak worshippers are probably going insane right now.

 

[DarkChaosGames]

Miis... ugh... Only thing I can say is for the 'amiibo' segment one of the icons showed Lucina, and since smash is the first to support it that may hint at Lucina being in, but perhaps I am looking in to it a bit too much?

Tom Nook was shown as well.

Ugh... At least it proves nothing about the second leak.

Probably, but I'm still unsure how the Amibo statues actually work. Are they like additional fighters running around like ATs? Do you transform into them? Why would I use an Amibo of a character already in the game? Will they be used as Physical DLC later down the line? We might find out later on, but there's still a lot of questions.

EDIT: Palutena confrmed, too. Now that one I like a lot.

 

[Delzethin]

Well...sometime you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains. I kind of had a feeling we wouldn't see a third Fire Emblem reveal so quickly after Ike.

That said...could there still be a third character they're waiting to reveal at the invitational?

 

[Minato Arisato]

Not to kill the Robin hype, but...um...wasn't that Lucina?

 

[Drakonis]

Wasn't what Lucina?
The only time I saw her was on the Amiibo pictures, and that doesn't really say anything... yet.

@Belzethin I'm fairly certain we'll get at least one. A lot of people speculated they announced so much FE stuff to lead up to a character reveal but apparently it wasn't. Unless Sakurai is a huge troll again and sprinkles more reveals throought the e3 coverage.

We got 3 new characters last e3 I partially expect to see a third one here. Probably pac-man if he is in (as much as I don't want him...) maybe people will finally get an answer as to whether or not Ridley is playable, and if either of them aren't shown THEN I would expect a Fire Emblem rep.

 

[IronFish]

Dang it last thing we needed was a point in the leaks favor, but two? Ugh...

 

[Minato Arisato]

The second part of the leak hasn't been proven. Don't give up hope, guys.

 

[JaidynReiman]

Dang it last thing we needed was a point in the leaks favor, but two? Ugh...

Palutena was expected anyway. Actually, Pac-Man not being in the Digital Event actually hints AGAINST him. That's the prime opportunity to show off Pac-Man and that's when Mega Man was shown last year. It'd be really weird not to get Pac-Man announced in the thing most everyone is watching, but we'll see how things play out.

 

[IronFish]

The second part of the leak hasn't been proven. Don't give up hope, guys.

I know it's just that we got Palutena if you were paying attention

 

[IronFish]

Leak worshipers are probably flipping their stuff right now

 

[Drakonis]

I'll be watching the Invitational for as long as I can and will try to follow the Q&A afterwards, though I'll suspect missing out on the latter due to it being at 4AM MEST >.<

If there will be another reveal I don't want to miss it.

 

[Reila]

Oh well, it is a true shame we are most likely getting freaking Chrom over Robin. Not to mention Ridley's chances are abysmal now. Oh well ;_;
