god I hope i'm not that awful with Robin

 

[Chapter Serf]

I missed the Robin tournament?

Whoops, Sorry...

Sorry, @ Raziek and @Zareidriel and everyone else...

 

[Syrek]

I missed quite a bit today. To be honest, I'm kinda glad I never participate in the Robin tournament. I'm well aware of my skills and while I consider myself to be decent at Smash, I know I'd get rekted by MANY of you. Now Mario Kart 8 on the other hand.....

 

[Chapter Serf]

I wish I had $1,000 to burn on nothing but a Smash Brothers friendly:

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

I love seeing Melee Zelda dittos! :^)

Really though, that set is so hype. Like omg.

 

[Pikachewy99]

How's it going fellow Robins? Just checking in briefly, but I see that there was a tourney I missed. I'm sad I missed an opportunity to fight you all.
It would've been a great experience for me.
... Even though I would get utterly wrecked because I'm quite mediocre at smash. Forgive me Robin, for I am unable to utilize your greatness fully. I'm only talented at getting my shield broken and self destructing.

I hope all of you that did participate in the tourney have fun though!

An "I got gimped by @ Raziek 's butter knife support group"? Hmm... I might be up for the task of making a banner, but I don't have computer access.
Besides, I still need to finish that picture of hong and raziek anyways. So until I'm able to get a computer to scan stuff on, I won't be able to show you guys things. If I decide to not be lazy, I'll probably be loitering around and watching this thread.
Always watching

Eh, you're not alone.

TBH, I think I had to go actually learn to use the legal stages themselves instead of just signing up. Not to mention I hadn't played Robin for ages.

 

[Raziek]

I see enough people posting similar things that I feel the need to speak out on this issue.

Being worried about losing should NEVER be the reason you don't enter a tournament.

Unless the entry fee is like $50 or something I guess.

There are two main reasons for that:

1) Especially in this case (with no prize and no entry fee), tournaments are about building a community. Everyone coming together, in this case over our shared love of playing Robin, making friends, etc etc.

2) Even if you are worried about not being good enough, there are few better places to see skilled players play than in a tournament setting. Don't force yourself to sit out because of self-esteem, entering tournaments is one of the best ways to get better.

At the end of the day, we're all friends, and that's what this tournament was really about, not some e-peen contest. Invisible ties and all that, right?

 

[the king of murder]

Honestly the only reason I couldn't join the Robin tournament is because it was a Wii-U only thing. I would have loved to make my Robin get better even if it means losing against you people. I know the Robins here are pretty chill. Really sucks that I can only play on my 3DS but oh well. Congratulations to all of you.

Well, I can at least say, I missed my time. Sorry.

On the other note, something popped on my Twitter:

I wish this was colored so much - it's beautiful~

That and I don't play Robin

As always, you know how to put things into perspective. Raziek. ^_^ You're absolutely right by the way and you inspired me to join the next Robin tournament we have. I really didn't know one was going on until late yesterday to be honest and by then it was too late, even if I wanted to join. But I shan't be discouraged by my abilities to main Robin when going against you all during our next tournament. Thank you, Raziek for making me see that this tournament is more about hanging with friends and having fun rather than being super competitive and what not.

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

Found a nice piece of If fanart on Tumblr. Spoiler'd due to size.

Spoiler

 

[ThunderSageNun]

would you look at that, googling hongori won't result in pictures of doduo but rather some place in Somalia.
Are by any chance replays of the tourney?

 

[Kotor]

This is the greatest thing I have ever found.

Edit: The gif in all its glory!

 

[The_Cardinal]

Just came back from playing some tonight and was reminded how much I don't like anything about this game's mechanics. Real shame because characters like Robin, Little Mac, and Villager are pretty cool compared to a lot of the veterans.

While I do enjoy Smash 4, I do think one of its saving grace is the new playstyles available. For example, if Robin and Shulk were not in Smash 4, I honestly don't know if my love for Marth would be enough for me to keep playing Smash 4 especially since, compared to both Melee and Brawl at least, he's a bit stiffer and less fluid than he use to be.

Preach. I would like this post a dozen times if I could.

Time to man up. Where would the rules and times of the next one be posted?

Check @Zareidriel's "Symphony of Scales" thread in the Robin forums. Next one is sometime in August. With customs.

 

[redfeatherraven]

August. Well, that should certainly give me some time.

I'm not entirely confident in my ability to properly pick up a pocket Robin, but I'll do my best.

 

[Raziek]

To whoever it was who asked, I recorded all my sets and should have them uploading tonight.

I also might host a Swiss tournament before August if interest is high enough.

 

[Shaymikyu]

SAVED.

I need to be around here more again. I've been too absorbed in Xenoblade lots of school work.

How does the game feel?

 

[Antonykun]

I just came back from the Sheik patch thread.
I haven't felt so angry at a stranger.

 

[Shaymikyu]

How does the game feel?

AMAZING.

No, really, though, it keeps getting better and better. The story is starting to really intrigue me, the world is amazing, the battles are fun, and I love all the characters. My main trio though is Dunban, Shulk, and Riki, not because of SSB, but because they work really darn well together. Dunban as the powerhouse and the target since he can dodge well, Shulk for how many things he can do and how versatile he is plus Light Heal, and Riki for being able to put status effects on the enemies and having a super useful healing move. Plus, they're just my favorite three characters in the game overall. As much as I said I adored Riki before going into the game, I might like Dunban even more.

For reference, my last stopping point was

Spoiler: Location Name, In Case It's Spoilery

the beginning of Sword Valley.

 

[Gamegenie222]

I recorded all my matches and send them to @ Moydow . My Internet randomly pooped on me in game 1 vs Jannos yesturday which caused us to redo the whole match and try to reset the stock/percentage .

 

[AustarusIV]

That Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer...

HRRRRRNNNNNGGHHH.

 

[Pegasus Knight]

I'm well aware of my skills and while I consider myself to be decent at Smash, I know I'd get rekted by MANY of you. Now Mario Kart 8 on the other hand.....

We'll compromise. You get to play Mario Kart 8 as Robin.

 

[DrCactus]

speaking of which, I'm pretty annoyed that none of the FE amiibo will have amiibo costumes in MK8.

 

[Hong]

Great Mila Shrine should be a Fire Emblem course and Tiki (retro) representing the series.

It's hard to use the rest of the Fire Emblem cast because many of them are full-bodied humanoids who only star in one or two games barring Smash. IMO Link, at least as an adult, was not a good idea so he doesn't justify the concept. Should have used Toon Link or something.

Link does look painfully awkward in MK 8.

 

[Baskerville]

Speaking of MK8, I'm so hyped for 200cc. That's the one thing that's gonna get me back into the game after playing so much Smash and Platinum games.
Now I can have the HD F-Zero experience I've long dreamed for...!
*internal sadness*

 

[ThunderSageNun]

I'm personally surprised that after Rosalina's Smash trailer they didn't put Kirby into MK8 (which might be the only reason I'd ever bother with MK8 given I hate racing games).
Link just looks awfully forced and unfit.

 

[Weeman]

god I hope i'm not that awful with Robin

We are all awful at first man, the point is that if you don't play against actual people for fear of sucking then you will never improve, specially with such a complex character like Robin.

 

[Pegasus Knight]

I'm surprised they don't farm Kirby out more in general. He has to be one of the easiest characters to put in, art-wise. Seems like it'd be easy to drop him into Mario Party, Mario Kart, etc.

 

[shrooby]

Kirby... Tiki...

I just want Diddy Kong back. ;_;

Adult Link looks so dumb in a little kart, to the point that is awkwardly adorable

like a grown up man going through a mid life crisis...
Actually that's no so adorable.

not can do, we need dem baby and metal characters!
The day baby Waluigi is actually a thing, it's the day I'll cry myself to sleep for seeing such desperation in "creating new characters", if it can even be called that.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

Idk why you guys are complaining about the characters in Mario Kart. We should be glad that we're lucky enough to have amazing characters such as Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach :^)
