History Characters / SuperSmashBrosU3DS

One of the main characters of ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', she comes from the same world as Marth - and is one of his descendants - around one thousand years later, wielding a reforged version of the Falchion. She plays as a MovesetClone of Marth, but lacks the sweetspot on the tip of her sword. As such, she does more damage overall, but Marth still does more damage when landing tippers.

* ChargedAttack: When using his/her neutral special, he/she charges it, which allows him/her to charge their Thunder spell to a more powerful version ([[SpellLevels Thunder, Elthunder, Arcthunder, and Thoron]]), and pressing the button again releases the charge. Guarding during the charge mode cancels it, but he/she keeps the current charge.

* ConfusionFu: The Fruit Toss special can come out as eight possible projectiles; cherries, strawberry, tangerine, apple, melon, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Galaxian, bell, and key]], charged in that order. Each one has different properties, such as the bell causing stun and the key flying scarily fast. This is taken UpToEleven with the custom specials for the Fruit Toss, which further alter the properties of every single projectile.

* OffModel: In order to make them [[PurelyAestheticGender 100% equal on the battlefield]], female Robin's size and physique was changed to be identical to male Robin's, as opposed to ''Awakening'' where she's shorter and thinner than her male counterpart. This ends up affecting male Robin too - to make sure he matched female Robin's height, he winds up shorter than he was in ''Awakening'', and Lucina is taller than him here in ''Smash''.

** "Time to tip the scales!" and female Robin's gloating "Ha, checkmate!" reference two of their critical hit lines in ''Awakening''.

** In a non-magic example, the Bronze Sword is terrible StarterEquipment in his/her home series. In fact, here in ''Smash'', Robin is the only sword-wielding character in the series to not have a blade that is considered legendary or unique. As such, its power has been bumped up to be on par with the swords other characters fight with. This is most notable with fellow ''Fire Emblem'' representatives Marth and Lucina, when just a glance at the weapon stats in those games shows that their sword, Falchion, is a much stronger weapon.

* GlassCannon: As with any ninja, Greninja has high mobility and power, but gets knocked around easily.

* GlassCannon / JackOfAllStats: Robin has the attack power of a GlassCannon paired with the speed and defense of a JackOfAllStats. He/she is capable of doing ''Massive'' burst damage in the hands of the right player. Robin weight is just slightly above average because he/she's tied with Sonic and Pac-Man as being the 24th, 25th, and 26th heaviest character in the game out of the 48 (not counting Miis and Shulk Monado stances) and the average character weight out the 48 characters is 93.541 and Robin weighs in at 95.

* SquishyWizard: The bulk of their strength comes from their powerful offensive spells and the elemental strength of the Levin Sword. However, their use is restrictive to compensate for this power, and they are not the strongest when it comes to dealing with opponents directly without these tools.

* SquishyWizard: See GlassCannon above.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep:
** The Monado's abilities are greatly toned down in ''Smash''. Instead of just granting [[MultiformBalance buffs and debuffs]], Shulk's Monado Arts in ''Xenoblade'' are powerful buffs and attacks. In their original forms, "Speed" allows its target to dodge any and all physical attacks, "Shield" allows the party to NoSell the next enemy Tallent Art, and "Buster" grows the Monado's blade even larger for a devastating attack.
** On the Power Creep side, Shulk is using the original Monado, which in ''Xenoblade'' proper [[AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe can't hurt sentient organic beings]]. Since this would make Shulk useless against everyone besides R.O.B. and Mega Man, we can assume the Monado has been tweaked to ignore this restriction (or [[FridgeBrilliance sentient beings]] ''[[FridgeBrilliance not]]'' [[FridgeBrilliance from Bionis don't count]]).

* GlassCannon: ''Massive'' damage potential in the hands of the right player, but he/she has a light weight and gets sent flying fairly easily.

* WeakButSkilled: An unusual example: Robin's skill with a sword is very unconventional and lacking compared to the other sword wielders for balance purposes. But he/she has an assorted repertoire of spells that can strike from afar and he/she can compensate for his/her lack of sword skill by wielding the Levin Sword on his strongest and/or most useful sword attacks to boost them with added power and range, provided he/she has uses left. The "Skilled" part comes from the fact that he/she has to know when to use them and when to hold back so that he/she isn't stuck using just the Bronze Sword which has poor reach and KO power making it very difficult KO other opponents.

* MightyGlacier: Poor running speed coupled with very powerful ranged and smash attacks make Robin this. Unlike most examples in ''Smash'', though, Robin is not also a StoneWall, and [[GlassCannon can get sent flying fairly easily]]. This, along with their slow speed and fairly high knockback on weak attacks[[note]]Generally not powerful enough to KO, but plenty strong enough to give Robin a bit of breathing room[[/note]], encourages them to weaken enemies from afar before using their Levin Sword to finish the opponent off.

* SquishyWizard: See GlassCannon and MightyGlacier above.

* MightyGlacier: Palutena's default option, due to most of her faster attacks and speed-boosting options coming from custom specials. While she isn't ''terribly'' slow, her movement and attack execution are still noticeably lacking in speed compared to most of the other characters, and her hitbox is very unflattering. That said, however, her attacks have a wide range, and they all hit hard, and while she's fairly light she has a counter and a reflector, allowing her to survive much longer than others of her weight class.

* MilestoneCelebration: His announcement trailer was released on February 2014, a full 30 years since the American release of the original arcade ''Punch-Out!!''.

* {{Adorkable}}: She keeps her humorous, playful, trollish and adorable personality from ''Uprising'', which is especially apparent when Pit activates her Guidance taunts.

* ArtEvolution: Palutena's current design debuted in ''Brawl'', appearing as an NPC and during Pit's Final Smash, although her face was slightly more stern- and wise-looking than her current depictions. The fourth game gives her a cuter, softer face and a more prominent red trim on her dress.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's the Goddess of Light, and the leader of the forces of Skyworld.

* HotGod: Her trailer emphasizes this.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Thanks to a certain leak that up until then perfectly predicted a lot of characters, Lucina appearing instead of Chrom was a big shock.

* OutOfCharacter: Robin (particularly the male version) comes off as a bit cockier than he/she does is in his/her home game, similar to Marth. One of male's quotes upon winning matches comments on how he's always three steps ahead of his opponent(s), and he lets out a mocking laugh when catching opponents in Nosferatu. Less cockily but even more out of character, female Robin will deliver a harsh insult to Lucina, who is very devoted to protecting Chrom, if she beats her, in stark contrast to male Robin's more apologetic one. This is ''even further'' out of character if she's interpreted as Lucina's parent, since it goes against her doting mother character.

** In Fire Emblem, each tome can only cast one type of spell. Here, Robin can use one elemental tome to possibly cast multiple spells like using four different kinds of Thunder spells with just one Thunder tome.

* SerratedBladeOfPain: Robin's Levin Sword which the blade's jagged edges is shaped like a lightning bolt.

* ElementalPunch: A fully-charged up smash deals fire damage. In addition, the Firespin Lunge variation of his neutral special engulfs his fist in [[PlayingWithFire flame]], which charges faster but is weaker. Shocking Lunge imbues it with [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], which stuns an opponent when fully charged but lacks super armor.
