Chrom

Line 39:

Chrom appears in {{SSB4|Lucina}} and {{SSB4|Robin}}'s trailer. In the beginning, 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, in the end, still badly hurt, he remarks that he "will get [his] chance another day;" a gameplay video immediately after this scene displays Robin's Final Smash and humorously stating that Chrom will get it today instead, confirming his involvement as part of the Final Smash. He also appears at the top of Lucina and Robin's "New Challenger" artwork on the official website.

According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Chrom was ~~initially~~ considered as a playable character~~, as he played~~ ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' ~~in his spare time~~, but he ~~rejected~~ him ~~in favor of Robin~~ when he saw that Chrom would end up ~~being another swordsman made redundant by the existing fighting styles of~~ {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}}. Robin ~~would seemingly remedy this by providing~~ a ~~plethora of~~ unique ~~moveset options with Tomes and the Levin Sword~~.<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 {{SSB4|Pit}}'s [[Palutena's Guidance|Smash Taunt]] for Robin, where {{SSB4|Palutena}} and [[Viridi]] deride Chrom for being a "carbon copy" of Ike, irking Chrom by saying so.<br clear=left>

According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Chrom was briefly considered as a playable character to represent ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' along with [[Lucina]], but he ultimately cut him off the roster when he saw that Chrom would end up playing too similarly to {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}}, and chose {{SSB4|Robin}} instead seeing him as a more unique character.<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 {{SSB4|Pit}}'s [[Palutena's Guidance|Smash Taunt]] for Robin, where {{SSB4|Palutena}} and [[Viridi]] deride Chrom for being a "carbon copy" of Ike, irking Chrom by saying so.<br clear=left>
