'''Chrom''' ({{ja|クロム|Kuromu}}, ''Chrom'') is | '''Chrom''' ({{ja|クロム|Kuromu}}, ''Chrom'') is the main protagonist of ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', descendant of [[Marth]], father of [[Lucina]], and close ally to [[Robin]]. | ||
==Character description== | |||
Chrom is one of the three main protagonists of ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Awakening}}''. A distant descendant of the Hero-King [[Marth]], Chrom is the prince of the Halidom of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ylisse}}, younger brother to its leader, the Exalt {{s|fireemblemwiki|Emmeryn}}, and the leader of a group of Ylissean soldiers known as the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Shepherds|group}}. The story of ''Awakening'' begins with Chrom, his sister {{s|fireemblemwiki|Lissa}}, and his bodyguard {{s|fireemblemwiki|Frederick}}, finding [[Robin|an amnesiac tactician]] by the roadside who joins the Shepherds. After Ylisse's struggle against the neighboring nation of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Plegia}}, Chrom becomes the new Exalt of Ylisse, gets married, and becomes the father of a baby girl, [[Lucina]]. | |||
During a war against the warmongering empire of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Valm}} two years later, a time-traveling Lucina from the future of another timeline reveals herself, warning Chrom of the looming threat of the Fell Dragon {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Grima|character}} who had destroyed the world in her timeline. Chrom, Lucina, and the rest of the Shepherds work together to defeat {{s|fireemblemwiki|Walhart}} of Valm, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Validar}} of the Grima-worshipping {{iw|fireemblem|Grimleal|cult}}, and Grima himself. | |||
Chrom, like most ''Fire Emblem'' protagonists, begins in the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Lord}} class. His signature weapon is [[List of swords#Falchion|Falchion]], inherited by the royal family of Ylisse as descendants of Marth; Chrom also uses Falchion's counterpart, the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}} or Binding Shield. In addition to Lucina, Chrom can also be the father of another child depending on who he marries. | |||
Since ''Awakening'', Chrom has appeared in a number of other games. He makes an appearance in [[fireemblemwiki:Before_Awakening|an ''Awakening''-based mission]] in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'', where he meets [[Corrin]]. In the crossover game ''{{s|wikipedia|Project X Zone 2}}'', he is one of three playable Nintendo characters (alongside Lucina and [[Fiora]]). Chrom is also prominently featured as a major character in both ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE}}'' and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Warriors}}'', and is one of the many units the player can recruit in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}''. | |||
==In ''Super Smash Bros. 4''== | |||
[[File:SSB4 - Robin Screen-6.jpg|thumb|left|Chrom aiding Robin in his [[Final Smash]].]] | |||
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, at the end, still badly hurt, he remarks that he "will get [his] chance another day;" a gameplay video after this scene displaying Robin’s Final Smash then states that Chrom will get his chance today instead. He also appears at the top of Lucina and Robin's poster artwork. | |||
While he was considered to inevitably be a playable character due to the seemingly credible [[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 swordsman made redundant by the fighting styles of {{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 [[Palutena's Guidance|Smash Taunt]] for Robin, where [[Palutena]] and [[Viridi]] deride Chrom for being a "carbon copy" of Ike, angering Chrom.<br clear=left> | |||

After being summoned by Robin with warp magic, Chrom lunges in Robin's direction. If he successfully connects with an opponent along the way, he'll launch the opponent into the air and repeatedly attack him or her with his Falchion, while Robin will attack with various tomes. Chrom also appears in one of Robin's victory poses, where the two stand back-to-back, and also appears as a special guest character during [[Pit]]'s [[Smash Taunt|conversations]] with [[Palutena]] in [[Palutena's Temple]] if Robin is present. Chrom's portraits and Critical Hit cut-in artwork from ''Awakening'' are reused in the aforementioned Smash Taunt and Pair Up, respectively. | ||

Chrom makes his debut as a playable fighter in '' | Chrom finally makes his debut as a playable fighter in ''Ultimate'', now branded as an [[Echo Fighter]] of Roy. He was revealed alongside Simon, Richter, Dark Samus, and King K. Rool in the August 2018 Smash Direct. Matthew Mercer and Tomokazu Sugita, Chrom’s recurring English and Japanese voice actors respectively since ''Awakening'', both reprise their roles and confirmed such on Twitter. | ||
Chrom’s inclusion was primarily facilitated by popular demand both within and outside of the Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot. In a Famitsu interview shortly following the August 8th Smash Direct, series director Masahiro Sakurai revealed that Chrom and fellow Echo Fighter Dark Samus were highly requested characters but in different regions of the world; most of the support for Chrom came from Japan while Dark Samus’s came from overseas, being North America and Europe.<ref>https://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-on-smash-bros-ultimate-newest-fighter-reveals-modes-and-more/</ref> | |||
Chrom’s normal attacks lack the hilt sweetspot and fire effects of Roy’s Binding Blade, though his Falchion’s damage distribution is consistent throughout the sword. This is identical to how Lucina’s Parallel Falchion differs from Marth’s Exalted Falchion in performance. Attacks such as jab and forward tilt do not have Chrom holding his sword in a reverse-grip like Roy, making his animations slightly different. Chrom’s [[Flare Blade]] is identical in function and KO power to Roy’s and can even be turned around mid-charge, but lack his explosive fire effects. His [[Double-Edge Dance]] is a series of four rapid sword slashes that can be angled to alter the direction of the swings. His up special, [[Soaring Slash]], is adapted from Ike’s Aether in which Chrom launches his opponent skyward before slamming them back to the ground. His [[Counter]] is similar in property to Roy’s and other similar Counters, making it risky to use for edgeguarding offstage. Finally, his Final Smash, [[Awakening Aether]], is functionally more similar to Marth and Lucina as Chrom dashes forward to catch opponents rather than standing still. | |||
===As a background character=== | |||
Despite being a separate playable fighter, {{SSBU|Robin}} continues to summon Chrom in their Final Smash [[Pair Up]] and Chrom continues to appear in one of Robin's victory screens as well. And despite the fact that Robin and Lucina now have an original victory theme inspired by ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', Chrom does not have it and instead uses the standard ''Fire Emblem'' victory theme with Marth, Roy, and Ike. The Chrom {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} costume also returns as an unlockable after being DLC in the previous installment. | |||
