'''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}}. 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 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.

Robin is ranked 37th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the D tier and tied with {{SSB4|Samus}}. Robin's tomes give him a strong zoning game: [[Thunder (Robin)|Thunder]] is a versatile projectile due to having varying effects at each level of charge, [[Arcfire]] is a strong tool for area denial and combo initiation, [[Elwind]] provides a highly damaging neutral infinite and is capable at [[edgeguarding]] due to being a strong [[meteor smash]] at point blank range, and [[Nosferatu]] is self-healing [[grab]]. Robin also boasts high damage-racking capabilities and KO power due to the strength of his [[List of swords#Levin Sword|Levin Sword]], as well as his depleted tomes and broken Levin Swords, provided the player can track them correctly.
