You'd think UThrow would be given more knockback growth, since it's damn near useless in any other situation, may as well use it to kill.





In other news, Nintendo partnered with Universal Studios to make Nintendo-themed attractions. I'd say place your bets on the Fire Emblem-themed attraction, but I can't see anything working out with it because the name of the game is killing people. :V

So Blond Marth/Blarth's name is Leon. I see people making communist jokes because Marx and Leon just so happen to share the name of two communist figures, Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky. I also see people guessing Lissabelle's name as being Frida or Anastasia, and trying to associate Camilla's name with communism.

I looked up Camilla's name and I found what the name's origin is, and a woman in mythology named Camilla.

It ultimately originates as the feminine of camillus, a term for a youth serving as acolyte in the ritual of ancient Roman religion, which may ultimately be of Etruscan origin.

You'd think most of Robin's throws would be useful considering it has like, no range I guess.

Oh and also that he's got the most ending lag out of any other character's grabs too.

Lol. We just need a Josef and Friedrich somewhere in there, and I'll be set. :p

The grab lag makes me cry everytime.

Duck Hunt can play the defensive game just as well as Robin, why does he get a good grab? ;~;

Well if this purple-haired man behind Camilla and Felicia's friend doesn't get those names, we could always give them to Kamui.

Thank you for the intro. I was one of the Robin supporters pre-release, with Robin being my #1 wanted newcomer, but I never knew of the character support boards until around Mewtwo's DLC announcement, where I found the Roy thread and posted religiously there till this day. I'm glad to finally be on the Robin board. They may not be listed with Marth/Ike, but they're still my 3rd most used character.

Sure I still want in? Hmmm, it's tempting. I'm between yes and yes, but I'm leaning more towards yes.

Even if I wanted to run, Robin's dash speed wouldn't help. :troll:

With capitalism, I have the power of both paths.



Thank you to everyone else for the welcome wishes. I will enjoy my time here, as evidenced from liking practically everything from the last few pages.
I think we'll get along just fine, dear
Just not as much as @ S Syrek and me, but that should be a given

Maybe I'll even try to hate on Roy a bit less since you're here:troll:

:sadsheep:
His grabs always makes me sad, particulary when I compare him to Ness, since I tend to rely a lot on grabs when playing. I know I shouldn't, but it's rather difficult when you main both.
and let's not even get started on the pummel.
Here I was hoping they'd buff his grabs just a lil' bit in this last patch.

But no matter, I still love to play with you, Robin.:4robinm::4robinf:

PS Help me the Splatoon hype is too real.
The costumes are certainly interesting, though it being a pre-order bonus at Gamestop is annoying. Hopefully, the costumes end up like the Hyrule Warriors pre-order costumes and they'll appear in the eShop at a later date.

I also find it stupid to see people claim that the DLC costumes means Inklings are disconfirmed. Well, if we go by that logic, then I suppose Link will get his chance another day.

Meta Knight would be more appropriate example. The Mii outfit was revealed before him on the site, but no one said "Meta Knight Disconfirmed!"

PMD2 is among my all-time favorite games. Kamex and GlitchxCity's PMD remixes are too real.


This alone makes me feel so powerful. Fitting for the pre-est of pre-evolutions going against the legends of their world.

Speaking of a surge of power...

T-they are???
YES! MY DREAM OF A NINTENDO THEME PARK IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO REALITY!

The costumes are pretty cool, yeah.
You almost gave me a heart attack. I really don't want the Inklings in Smash...

The official picture on the site though.



A little too close to the real thing, isn't it?

:231:
that's the stuff of nightmares. I'm afraid I'm one of those people that wasn't impressed by Splatoon since its reveal, and I don't think anything can change that at this rate. I guess I'm no good wanting Nintendo to develop new IP's, but when they do them, I usually don't care for them for one reason or another.

Even though I'm neutral to them, there's no need to be overly negative about it.

There are better ways that could have been phrased, you know.

I don't care about the game personally, as I don't have a Wii U. I do like the character designs, however, so I'm okay with them being in Smash.

That's really cool about Camilla's name. Fits in with the Roman aspect of Nohr, what with Marx rocking that Iron Laurel and such.

This intrigues me.

You live in Oklahoma?
Nein. I suppose it's perfectly normal for multiple area's of the midwest to be getting severe thunder storms this time of year. (yes, I am aware that Oklahoma isn't in the midwest. :p)

You'd think UThrow would be given more knockback growth, since it's damn near useless in any other situation, may as well use it to kill.
Robin's throws are pretty crappy, but I wouldn't call them useless.

Uthrow? Oh yeah. That one's useless.

It's so sad... :sadeyes: Even with what little use it does have, Dthrow does it's job so much better...


@Royvolution Ream You're always welcome here!
So long as you respect the Meta Knight...:4metaknight:
And Rabins of course.:4robinm::4robinf:

And Zelda...

Don't worry, I'm sure that Mii Swordsman will get some nice costumes.

Imagine Kamui or Chrom as Mii attire.
how appropriate that the butt of the smash community gets a costume after Chrom :p
(Plz remember that I love both swordfighter and Chrom)

I'm counting on a Robin character meet and greet(or whatever the hell Universal calls it). Disney did Sora of all characters for a while, so I can't see why there couldn't be a Robin one.

Wow gunner keeps on getting all the god tiered costumes
Some Fire Emblem-character themed costumes for the Mii Swordsman would be nice.
Probably Chrom because reusable assets.
However, if they don't reuse assets, Kamui would be super cool as an alt. Especially because of that sword design, goodness.

"Robin! Say, 'Time to tip the scales'!!"
"No."
":scared:"
I know that feel.

When I went to Universal Studios Florida, I found a costumed Doctor Doom and was like:

"Do you even foot dive, Doom?"

To which he answered:

"Doom doesn't know what you talk about."

:sadsheep:

Though that was kind of expected.

I like to pretend doom doesn't want to be associated with MVC3 for reasons so he's just pretending. (or the guy in the costume doesn't know what a foot dive is)

The guy was legitimately confused, even though he was in character during the whole thing.

I did it as a joke anyway, wasn't expecting anything significant.
