Article on Fire Emblem Wiki Chrom

Chrom (クロム, Kuromu) 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, he, still badly hurt, remarks that he "will get [his] chance another day." He also appears at the top of Lucina and Robin's poster art, and in one of Robin's victory poses.

While strongly speculated and requested, and considered by many people to be inevitable after being implicated as playable in the notorious Gematsu leaks, he does not make a playable appearance in Smash 4. Instead, he appears as part of Robin's Final Smash. 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 the Falchion, while Robin attacks with magic.

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.[1]
