I absolutely love Robin in smash 4 and Ultimate. He's one of those characters that has a massive amount of potential. but there's no reason to seek that potential when easier more broken characters exist in the game. The only thing I disagree with is Levin jab. Jab should always be a way to switch to bronze so you don't burn through your levin sword to quickly.

Robin has always fascinated me. Such a set of unique mechanics, for better & worse. She reminds me a bit of Brawl PT - cool ideas and mechanics with a few severe downsides. also aerial nosferatu causing freefall is so bizarre, thank you for highlighting that lol

The thing I like about Robin even though I don't play the character is that they (along with Byleth) are more unique compared to the rest of the Fire Emblem characters where they use magic in their move sets instead of using their swords for most of their attacks and don't have a counter for their Down Special.

@searchethan8603 7 ай бұрын

As a robin main, we use down b to land on shield, timing your spot dodge as we land on you from the air will give you a great punish. (he also only has 3 uses on this tome so you don't have to worry about it when we run out of it as we don't get it until like 12 seconds again)

Funny that you'd talk about Levin nair in such a way, I have a friend who mains Robin and feels the exact opposite way, lol. He says Levin nair and buffed arcfire are way too good compared to the rest of his kit and dumb down Ult Robin's gameplan compared to 4. Also funny that you'd mention Levin jab/tilts, I actually modded that into the game as part of a stupid mod I made with a friend a while back.

I feel that with how fast and strong most of the cast in ultimate are, robin with unlimited durability would still just be a mid teir (ranked 30's ish, low 40's). Like robin's moveset and physical attributes aren't so good that they deserve to be the only character that gets punish for spamming. At the very least robin's durability should replenish over time if they aren't actively using the weapon. Its pretty stupid that purposely burning through a weapon's remaining durability just to make sure you have enough durability later when you actually need it is something you need to consider.

@dantheman_cunningham 7 ай бұрын

I remember when Sm4sh was coming out, I actually pushed more for Robin over Chrom because the character seemed like they'd have a more interesting moveset than Chrom. And in theory, I think Robin is a really cool idea. A character with powerful attacks that could only be used for a limited number of times has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, they really overcompensated with the weaknesses to the point where it feels like the character just doesn't properly function effectively. It kind of reminds of Ganon, where they have this mindset that he needs all these major weaknesses to balance the raw power he has. But what good is power, if he can't survive long enough or move quick enough to use it. Mind you, Robin is certainly better than Ganon, but he already has so many other weaknesses to balance him out. Making him so slow just seems so unnecessary.

@highlandave8507 7 ай бұрын

This I agree. I expected to be slow, like around Zelda's speed, but slowest in the game? I know Incineroar is now the slowest, but his attacks are pretty fast and Revenge let's him deal with campers to actually compensate for any weaknesses. I think Robin needs a revamp.

Out of all the FE characters added in Smash I hope Robin comes back the most in future entries, hopefully ditching the ressource mechanic to finally be a viable character. He has a super cool and unic character design, and easily stands out among other fire emblem characters, in a way that doesn't feel forced like it's the case for byleth.

@escobar9140 7 ай бұрын

Marth for mascot appeal, Ike for being it's most popular character and Intelligent System favorite, and Robin for originality and uniqueness both in Smash and Fire Emblem while connecting the lore of several Fire Emblem games from Archanea to Tellius to Elibe to Hoshido/Nohr/Valla. Those are the Big 3 of Fire Emblem to me.

@artimist0315 6 ай бұрын

@@escobar9140 yeah I completely agree with that trio being the basic trio we keep in every smash games, as they also represent 3 different fe protagonist (a lord, an avatar and a mercenary). Personally I wouldn't be against other FE rep coming back, such as bringing back lucina and roy both as marth game play variants, and I think Corrin still has an interest as displaying the transformation mechanics in FE (for that they need to be distinguished more from the basic sword gameplay), but even they shouldn't be prioritised in developement and the ultimate reps should be outright dropped imo.

@bluerobin7051 6 ай бұрын

Smash 4 Robin was super fun and my first official main (I've named a lot of profiles after my affinity for his blue alt). He was surprisingly well rounded. He had projectiles, spacing tools, combos, good jump height and air speed. And it was balanced out with slow ground speed and an exploitable recovery. Why on Earth did they nerf him in Ultimate? It's so lame.

@jakksonkobalt 5 ай бұрын

I play a lot of smash ultimate, however I kinda suck. I am the best player I know irl, but if i went to a tourney or try online games, I lose a TON. I main Robin with Jigglypuff secondary. I just like floaty characters. How I would change Robin is increase the combo game. Right now the only combo tool Robin has is Arc Fire, which is also his second most important neutral tool, and the most important safety tool as you need to throw it on ledge before recovering to prevent characters from edge guarding. Such a reliance on Arc Fire makes the character feel impossible for the 10 (8?) seconds it is gone. Robin does get access to insane Z-drop and item throw combos, but the fastest way to set them up is use nosferatu 3 times, which is a laggy move. I love Robin so much and I feel like a genius when everything works. Ways I would improve robin: - Faster Air speed - Easier access to bronze aerials and making bronze aerials combo into eachother better. - Making it so if a move gets interrupted during start-up no durability is lost. - Make Robin's down throw a combo throw and give less lag on forward throw to allow to follow-up arc-fires easier - Make robin's roll cover more distance. - Make elwind's spike hitbox last longer.

@melty2k 7 ай бұрын

Elthunder is more for killing, especially in Ultimate where Elthunder has amazing kill power, Arcfire is mostly for ledge trapping, sometimes it can be used for a kill confirm like arcfire levin bair, arcfire ladder levin up air or even fair, and it can also be used for footstool into jab lock.

Robin is one of the few characters I'd say was completely made obsolete in Ultimate due to DLC. Robin's resources are so so so much worse than Hero's. Thoron does like 13 damage and KOs like 40% later than Hero's fireball

I 100% agree. I mentioned Cloud too, to a smaller extent for that reason. Who does some similar things but doesn't have Robin's lackluster speed and range. Despite his flaws, I have a softspot for Robin he's probably one of my favorite characters in Smash, but I think he could use some major buffs if there's a smash sequel with him in it.

@saxeladude 5 ай бұрын

1:00 this is incorrect in smash ultimate. though fun fact robin can actually choose to not use the levin sword as robin's aerials are programed to use which even sword was used fir previous attack. since smash attacks are always programmed to use the levin sword when availible, and tilt attacks are never use the levin sword. robin can choose which to use for aerials by which grounded attack was used previously.

Arcfire isn't a zoning tool at all, it was never designed for that even in Smash 4, and any competent Robin already knows this. it's a trapping move for when you already have the advantage or to pressure opponents hanging on a ledge. **NOT** something to throw out on a whim in neutral.

@420OngBak 7 ай бұрын

You condition people with thunder/elthunder spam to be careful on approach and you can use arcfire to help zone. Obviously it's not meant to be spammed in neutral but you're just flat out wrong saying that it's not a zoning tool at all. It's the same thing with DDD and Gordo

@sbsb7352 7 ай бұрын

I mean clearly Arcfire can be used for zoning, but is it the safest zoning tool, maybe not??? Saying it is "not a zoning tool" is kinda wrong because clearly Robin was designed to have multiple projectiles for different situations, is arcfire the best at everything, no its not. But saying its used for 0% of Robin's possible Zoning is kinda a stretch too.

@lilbonsly 7 ай бұрын

@@420OngBak Of course you CAN use to zone and wall out opponents, it's a big reason why Robin goes even against Kazuya. But that is not it's main purpose and the misunderstanding that it can be used so brazenly is a big reason why Robin's neutral game gets misunderstood a lot , people see the lili wall of fire and think they can throw it around like it's PK FIre.

Comparing these are tough because ultimate robin can use nosfer. more, gains Levin Nair and its busted ass semi spike but loses checkmate and arcthunder combos. What ultimately drives me to saying smash 4 is better is elwind having less uses and not starting with Levin at the start. Discarded tomes also do far less damage and travel slower and i think all of the moves that use the bronze sword were nerfed, including tilts. I think when compared to the rest of the cast, ultimate robin does better in his environment than smash 4 robin, but smash 4 robin is the better character when you compare the two

I would love to have Robin being able to alternate between Bronze and Levin in some way, like tap to use Bronze and hold for Levin (kinda like Ryu's jabs and tilts). This way you have more control on Robin's KO power and he wouldn't feel AS committal.

He's the only heavy sword fighter in the game and he fights completely different from the rest of the FE squad; no sweet spots, none of all that spacing, just straight savageness. All he needs is more speed, change that NAIR back to his old one, and an update on his moves because there's still attacks he can use in FE that aren't in Smash and that new NAIR of his so trash.
