'''Robin''' ({{ja|ルフレ|Rufure}}, ''Reflet'') is a playable newcomer in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He was confirmed during a live stream, alongside {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSB4|Lucina}}, on the official ''Super Smash Bros.'' website on July 14th, 2014. Like in his home game ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Awakening}}'', players can select either male and female versions of Robin, similarly to {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSB4|Villager}}, and {{SSB4|Corrin}}. | '''Robin''' ({{ja|ルフレ|Rufure}}, ''Reflet'') is a playable newcomer in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

In the English version, David Vincent, who is male Robin's first voice option in ''Awakening'', reprises his role, while Lauren Landa voices female Robin in place of Michelle Ruff from ''Awakening''. In the Japanese version, both Yoshimasa Hosoya and Miyuki Sawashiro reprise their roles as the voice actors for the male Robin and the female Robin, respectively. | In the English version, David Vincent, who is male Robin's first voice option in ''Awakening'', reprises his role, while Lauren Landa voices female Robin in place of Michelle Ruff from ''Awakening''.

Robin's [[List of swords#Levin Sword|Levin Sword]] is an excellent weapon, courtesy of its great KO potential, which also extends to his aerial attacks, which, when used with the Levin Sword, have fearsome KO potential. The Bronze Sword is not to be disregarded either; while it is immensely weak and has unimpressive range, it is always available to Robin and can easily combo. Robin's unique durability mechanic can also be used to his advantage; his depleted tomes and broken Levin Swords are surprisingly strong, which makes them unorthodox KO options. | Robin's [[List of swords#Levin Sword|Levin Sword]] is an excellent weapon, courtesy of its great KO potential, which also extends to his aerial attacks, which, when used with the Levin Sword, have fearsome KO potential.

However, Robin has numerous weaknesses. His overall mobility is arguably the worst in the game, due to his dashing speed being the slowest in the game, and his air speed being average. Robin also has a very poor defensive game, as several moves are slow in regard to startup lag and even more so in ending lag. Robin's range is also startlingly lacking, as while the Levin and Bronze Swords provide disjointed range, they have very short reach. This not only forces Robin to trade blows frequently, but it also makes him glaringly susceptible to combos. Due to this, Robin has a severe lack of oppressive options in his moveset. | However, Robin has numerous weaknesses.

Robin's durability mechanic can massively turn against him, as the loss of any tomes puts Robin in a lot of trouble; losing Thunder leaves him unable to zone, losing Arcfire prevents him from starting combos, losing Elwind makes it very hard to recover, and losing Nosferatu prevents Robin from healing and forces the use of his poor grab. | Robin's durability mechanic can massively turn against him, as the loss of any tomes puts Robin in a lot of trouble; losing Thunder leaves him unable to zone, losing Arcfire prevents him from starting combos, losing Elwind makes it very hard to recover, and losing Nosferatu prevents Robin from healing and forces the use of his poor grab. | ||

|dthrowdesc=Magically slams the opponent onto the ground, launching them vertically. Its extremely low base knockback and low ending lag makes it an excellent combo starter at almost any percentage. Its low hitstun until high percentages, however, prevents true combos into moves other than his neutral attack and up tilt. However, at high percentages, Robin can follow up with an up aerial for a safe KO; when performed correctly within the proper percent window, this combo is inescapable for every character except {{SSB4|Bowser}} and {{SSB4|Charizard}}. This combo is referred to by players as the "Checkmate". | |dthrowdesc=Magically slams the opponent onto the ground, launching them vertically.

|nsdefdesc=Robin casts [[fireemblemwiki:Thunder (magic)|thunder magic]] from his [[fireemblemwiki:Thunder (tome)|Thunder tome]]. It is a chargeable projectile with distinct properties for each charge level: Thunder (a fast, weak, and short-ranged spark) is produced when the move is uncharged, followed by [[fireemblemwiki:Elthunder|Elthunder]] (a yellow, stronger ball of lightning with more range), which is cast when briefly charged, then [[fireemblemwiki:Arcthunder|Arcthunder]] (a red, gradually accelerating and multiple hitting sphere), and finally [[fireemblemwiki:Thoron|Thoron]] (a powerful, long-ranged electrical energy beam that can stretch across the length of any stage; holding the special button also increases the beam’s damage and length) when fully charged. Each of them has its uses: Thunder and Elthunder can be used as an anti-pressure option, Arcthunder can be used for briefly trapping opponents for a free follow-up and has some off-stage KO potential, and Thoron has the highest KO potential of all of its versions, also making it useful if Robin’s tome is about to expire. Takes ~3 seconds to fully charge. | |nsdefdesc=Robin casts [[fireemblemwiki:Thunder (magic)|thunder magic]] from his [[fireemblemwiki:Thunder (tome)|Thunder tome]].

|desc-pal=When Robin is found at the start of Fire Emblem: Awakening, he (or she!) discovers that, even without his memories, he is a master tactician. In this game, his attacks are powerful, but in true Fire Emblem style, how many times his magic can be used is limited. This also applies to the thunder magic his sword is imbued with. | |||

|desc-ntsc=Robin's magic is powerful, but it has limited uses before needing to recharge. Thunder can be charged in stages, will become Thoron at max charge, and gains damage and speed with its charge. Arcfire creates a flame pillar, perfect for dealing with an edge-clinging foe. | |||

You can charge Thunder in steps, and when it's fully charged, it turns into Thoron, increasing its speed and dealing more damage. Arcfire creates a flame pillar when it hits something. Use it on an opponent who's clinging to an edge to stop them getting back on the stage. | |||
