It could be that the reason all the basic Thunder Tomes were featured is because Thunder is Robin's preferred element.
But then again, Robin may just use one tome each of the other elements because Thunder is Robin's preferred element.
Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!Sakurai has just confirmed a couple things in regards to Robin's tomes and the Levin Sword.

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!Just occurred to me that we should probably equate the difference between the Levin Sword and Bronze Sword should probably be likened to the difference in Little Mac's power from ground and air attacks.

The New Age of Awesome is here! Not even the sky is the limit!I don't know why, but I get the feeling that there might be 4 more newcomers left. I get the feeling that Shulk and Marshal may appear along with a couple of other characters in spite of Sal's leak. One of them might be Dixie, mostly due to Tropical Freeze bringing her back to the spotlight. I'd want K. Rool, but I get the feeling he'll be a boss character like Kirbopher said. We still don't have this game's retro character, so I think someone like Takamaru could be that one. His Samurai Warriors appearance gave him a legit moveset, so I think a lot can be done with him.
This is just speculation though.

I have to say, that one looks a lot better than lazy-eye Rayman. It actually reminds me of his "presenting ME!!!" pose in Origins/Legends a lot more now.

Actually, looking back, the only non-Thunder Tome related specials either Robin use in the trailer are Arcfire, Elwind and Nosferatu. I think maybe the Thunder Tome is the only special that has charge properties and the Fire, Wind and Darkness Tomes just use the one move(s).
