Chrom: Difference between revisions

Chrom appears in {{SSB4|Lucina}} and {{SSB4|Robin}}'s trailer. He first appears at the start, where he is shown lying on the ground after being incapacitated by {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} in battle. Lucina defends him, but is almost defeated herself. For the majority of the trailer, he is only seen laying on the ground. However, at the end, still badly hurt, he remarks that he "will get [his] chance another day." He also appears at the top of Lucina and Robin's poster art, and serves as a [[Alternate_costume_(SSB4)|color scheme]] for {{SSB4|Ike}}.

In the game, he appears as part of Robin's [[Final Smash]], [[Pair Up]]. In the attack, Robin will summon Chrom through a warp circle, and, if successful at capturing an opponent, Chrom will repeatedly attack the captured opponent using Falchion, while Robin attacks with Bolganone. Chrom also appears in one of Robin's victory poses, where the two stand back-to-back. Chrom also appears as a special guest character during [[Pit]]'s [[Smash Taunt|conversations]] with [[Palutena]] in [[Palutena's Temple]] if Robin is present. In this appearance, he reuses his dialogue portrait from ''Awakening''.

While strongly speculated and requested, and considered by many people to be inevitable after being implicated as playable in the notorious [[Gematsu leaks]], he is not a playable character in ''SSB4''. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], he considered adding Chrom as a playable character, but denied him in favor of Robin, when he saw that Chrom would end up another plain swordsman made redundant by {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}}, while Robin provided a plethora of unique moveset options.<ref>http://www.gonintendo.com/s/233268-sakurai-talks-lucina-s-inclusion-in-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds-why-chrom-didn-t-make-the-cut</ref> This is referenced in Pit's Smash Taunt for Robin, where [[Palutena]] and [[Viridi]] deride Chrom for being a "carbon copy" of Ike, angering Chrom.<br clear=left>

Chrom's costume serves as the basis of a [[downloadable content|downloadable]] [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 3|costume]] for {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s. Nintendo also released a [http://www.smashbros.com/images/dlc/image/qr_sample12.jpg QR code] for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising.
