People have brought this up, but I hate that idea actually. We're talking about how we're trying not to mock Chrom fans if Chrom gets in, and some people propose that Sakurai would troll Chrom fans that way, too? Sorry, I don't buy it. If anything the Robin trailer would start with something similar, but it would be Robin blasting Ike and Marth to oblivion instead (obviously not killing them).
I think it's just a case of something being so horrible that it is funny. We also do the same to the very same character we support, like my idea for the Anna trailer (where it turns out to be said character under the hood).

Jokes aside, for the most part, a lot of people like the idea of recreating the Second Meeting cutscene, but with Ike and Marth instead of Chrom and Lissa. There have been numerous other awesome ideas as well.
I don't think some of Sakurai's PotDs (quote included) have been suitable for children. They could really be interpreted all sorts of kinky ways :troll:

Don't you think that's be a bit.... anti-Chrom? I mean, we don't like him, but that doesn't mean everyone shares our views.
The whole Awakening game is anti-Chrom. If it weren't for Lucina that's exactly how history would've went down. :awesome:

I would normally be against such blatant Chrom-bashing, but @ Reginleif Reginleif is too entertaining to hold it against him.

I'm torn between wanting to laugh because I get the joke and wanting to cry because that scene was so heartfelt.
Really? I thought that part was hilarious.



I just can't take Awakening's story seriously. Starting from Chapter 4 I immediately lose any suspension of belief.

I can't wait to see the Emmeryn Assist Trophy. Of course, when you crack it open, seemingly nothing comes out. Then, roughly a minute later, she comes crashing down on your enemy for an instant KO.:troll:

oh
Wait, so people in this thread do like Awakening?
I was under the impression that wasn't the case for quite a while and that people here thought it wasn't as good as other FE games therefore it's terrible.
...that's good to see :3
yeah so it looks like I was wrong about that after all lmao

Oh, we like Awakening.

But because we love it so much, we'll pick on its flaws. If we didn't care so much, we would have had our say and be done with it. Heck, I doubt most of the people would even be here since Robin herself is an Awakening character. Right at this very moment I have Awakening on my desk, in sleep mode, in the midst of my umpteenth play through of the game.

I also still play Awakening to smash other people's Streetpass teams. Living on a college campus where many people have the game makes things oh so wonderful for me :troll:

One by one they all, fall, downnnn. Unless they have nice items to buy. Only way to be spared. No one is dismissed freely.

Personally, I really like Awakening. I thought it was an excellent game, and a good addition to the Fire Emblem series. I do think that it's good enough to have one of its main characters playable in Smash.

But because its poster boy is such a bland, uninteresting addition to Smash that poorly represents Fire Emblem as a whole, I strongly support Robin, both to properly represent a game and series I love and and to bring a really unique character to the roster.

I would need so much more time on my hand to play Awakening to try out everything I want to do in that game <.< Guess I'll have to make it a tradition to play the game every few years just like I do with FFVII and Shining Force I/II.

And if only I then found the time to try out all the stuff I want to do in Baldur's Gate II, too.

So, for the sake of staying on topic, I have a Robin-related question.

Frankly, things aren't looking too good for Robin at the moment, what with the Gematsu Leak looking more and more real and Chrom, of course, being a part of that leak. There's a lot of talk about how people should just accept Chrom as an inevitability and let go of the characters Chrom essentially kills the chances of. So, after all this, in the event that Robin is actually confirmed, what would your reaction be?

I Haven't the faintest clue, I like robin more than Chrom but it isn't that much of a gap for me personally so I'd be excited for either one... just more excited for Robin, and ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC for Tiki! (Mostly because it would be a very unexpected surprise.)

And just an F.Y.I. I rate it Robin = Tiki > Lucina > Chrom.

EDIT: Liking your post for bringing us back on topic good sir.

I'll be prancing in happiness, then i'll deliver my condolences to Chrom supporters.
