Template:Infobox Final Smash SSB4 Robin's Final Smash (known in Japan as ダブル Double) does not have a known English name. In this Final Smash, Robin summons Chrom through a warp circle. Chrom's portrait appears briefly as he and Robin attempt to catch an opponent. Once an opponent is caught, the two unleash their attacks: Chrom with the Falchion, and Robin with magic. The finishing blow is yet to be seen.

Origin

Chrom, one of the main protagonists in Fire Emblem: Awakening, joins Robin to attack the opponents, reflecting a mechanic first introduced in Awakening where two units can pair up. The supporting unit can not only boost combat stats, but they can also attack after the main unit, or can block enemy attacks from reaching the main unit. Chrom's portrait that appears is also derived from Awakening: when a skill or a critical hit activates, the character's portrait is shown and accompanied with a spoken one-liner from that character (though interestingly, "On my mark", as seen during the trailer, isn't one of Chrom's portrait one-liners, but rather one of the things he says at the beginning of a battle sequence if he's supporting the main unit).
