I prefer female Robin because I'm female and prefer playing as my same gender. Male Robin's voice is pretty great, though.
it's the same for meXD i prefer the male one because i'am male and i love the blue alt:)

Female Robin is cute, specially with her pink alt and she has dem twintails as a plus.
Male Robin is badass and his white mage alt is amazing too.
They both have very fitting voices but male's is sexier.

Tough choice but I'll go with female because why not. :p

This, pretty much. I played as female Robin first since I am female and I always like playing as my own gender. I'm doing a male Robin run right now though and he's grown on me too, though. And his voice is pretty awesome. I wish he still said the correct scale-tipping line in his taunts.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I prefer :4robinm:'s colors, even though I'll mostly play as :4robinf:. Hers are fine, it's just that green and blue are two of my favorite colors, and that black-haired white-robed color is so cool.

Female Robin, it's the only one I've chosen in the original and the one I'm most personally attached to.
There's also the fact that watching a vid of her supports with Chrom was what made me buy this game in the first place, thus my first encounter with this great series. So it's thanks to her that I finally stopped missing out on such a great franchise(Intend to do Shadow Dragon & Light and Shadow next)

Oh, and that she's cute. I think it's important.

I like the yellow/blonde Robin a lot. The red one looks cool too, but I'm not a fan of the solid red hair.

The yellow one caught my eye first. The red is maybe my favorite outside of the default (which I'm still debating if I'll use that as my main color or not- I feel weird using default colors), but I wish the robe and hair were slightly more different from each other in shade.

I only played Male Robin in Awakening, I guess thats the one I will go with.
And I like his alts more than the female Robin.

Amazing how this is a dead even split as of right now because I like both male and female Robin.

I've actually been expecting it to get pretty dead even eventually.

I can't really explain why I expected it, other than that I felt that both gender choices on Robin gave their own significant advantages over the other in Awakening.

I'm actually doing a male Robin run right now, and I think I'll definitely use him, too. He's a pretty cool guy. I just slightly prefer the female one (though I adore male Robin's voice!).

Female Robin is so cute, and cuteness is the only thing that matters in the world.

Female, becuase KAWAII DESU JAPANESE VOICE! But male has Hair Color 13, which was the only change I made to Robin in my initial playthrough (other than eyes, asset, flaw, name, and birthday), so bias.

ESPECIALLY Grima Robin.

Though the "I'm the fel dragon, Grima." line sounded kind of seductive. :096:
Haven't gotten to that part on my slow :4robinm: playthrough yet, but wow, I'm not the only one who got that vibe from that line when :4robinf:!Grima said it.

I have yet to use female Robin, so I'm sticking with male Robin. I've become quite fond of my short, brainy Grandmaster in Awakening. I also much prefer the ditzy antics of female Morgan(I have seen some of male Morgan's supports, though). The female is all right, but pigtails just aren't my thing.

I really like them both, but if I have to choose...I'll say :4robinf:. I love her hairstyle. Embarrass

My Robin in Awakening was female so definitely female.

Although mine didn't have pigtails. She had the same white hair but it was cut short and covered one eye. I also used Voice 3.

As far as relationships go, I found RobinxChrom to be a very rewarding one. I loved being Lucina's mom and it was especially touching the moment
Lucina tried to kill me after discovering that I was Chrom's betrayer in the alternate timeline.

Being romantically involved with Chrom also made me feel like our bond was that much stronger each time he supported me in spite of
my constant struggle with Grima's influence.

I do wish that they had a Grandmaster outfit for them, especially F!Robin.

Male Robin, he's just cooler, and has more swag *shot*
Plus love the way his VA says "Time to Tip the Scales!"
And I sort of look like him according to my friends.
Plus RobinXLucina is my OTP.

I really dont care much about this and I like both but in one side I prefer the male version the most and in the other side we need more femaline characters and she has a nice look; so its very hard to decide in which who.

I went with Chrom x Robin too. It was kind of an accident, but I really like what it added to the story, especially the stuff you mentioned in the spoilers and being Lucina's mom. Plus, Morgan and Lucina make cute siblings.

This and Rightful King Morgan are the only redeeming factors of this otherwise boring and cliche pairing... ChromXSumia 4 life!

That's why I love :4lucina:/:4robinm:. Having a broken Morgan helps too.

I'll probably end up picking the male one the most because of the awesome black hair and white/red costume.

Male Robin. While I generally play female characters when given the option, the marriage aspect of Awakening led me to going with Male Robin. After two playthroughs, he's the one I'm more familiar with.
I'll alternate between the two in Smash (mostly because I can't pass up on Anna colored Female Robin).

I thought I would only use male Robin but now that I have the game I'll play both. I like the way F!Robin shouts spells more than M!Robin's way. Also "Time to to tip the scales!" > "Let's tip the scales!". She also has the "Checkmate!".

I really like the difference between their victory quotes against Lucina as well :
M : Lucina, I hope I didn't hurt you.
F : How can you protect Chrom if you can't protect yourself ?

I love how they added that. Did they do the reverse for when :4lucina: wins?

I played Awakening with a female avatar, because having a couple made up by Tomokazu Sugita (Chrom) and Miyuki Sawashiro (Robin), who are my two absolute favorite voice actors, was quite a dream and I needed to realize it.

My character looked quite different from this Robin, however: short, raven hair and a cynical look in the eyes, just how I like it!

So I'm not particularly sold into the default female Robin that's in Smash, therefore as far as designs go I prefer the male... BUT, if there's an option for Japanese voices, you can bet I'll play as female Robin.
