Chrom (クロム, Chrom) is the main character of Fire Emblem: Awakening, descendent of Marth, father of Lucina, and close ally to Robin.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Chrom aiding Robin in his Final Smash.

Chrom appears in Lucina and Robin's trailer. He first appears at the start, where he is shown lying on the ground after being incapacitated by 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 color scheme for 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 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 playable 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 Marth and Ike, while Robin provided a plethora of unique moveset options. 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.

Trophy

Chrom appears as a trophy in both versions of SSB4.

NA: Prince of the Halidom of Ylisse and descendant of the Hero-King Marth. He leads a militia force called the Shepherds that protects Ylisse. Though he can get reckless when training—things end up broken—he can be counted on in the heat of battle. He and Robin combine their skills in Robin's Final Smash.

PAL: The prince of the Halidom of Ylisse and a descendant of the Hero-King Marth. Chrom and his militia, the Shepherds, swear to protect the people of Ylisse. Despite being more than competent in battle, he's rather careless in training and always seems to be breaking things. He and Robin combine their skills in Robin's Final Smash.
