Robin (ルフレ, Reflet) has been confirmed to be a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4. As with Wii Fit Trainer and Villager, both male and female variants of Robin appear in SSB4, just like how players could select a gender for the character in Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Known moveset

• His Special seems to revolve around Spell Tomes. They are powerful, but have limited uses, reflecting a trait that weapons possess in the Fire Emblem series where a weapon can be used a certain amount of times before breaking. Robin's tome changes with each special attack.
  • Thunder is activated using the Neutral special move. The move can be charged, with higher charge changing the move to Arcthunder, Elthunder, and Thoron. The charge can be stored with the shield button.
  • Elwind is activated using the Up special move.
  • Arcfire is activated using the Side special move.
  • Nosferatu is activated using the Down special move.
• When a tome is used up, Robin can throw it away, but it is unknown if it does damage or not.
• For some moves, Robin also uses a Levin Sword, a recurring weapon in the Fire Emblem series that can be used as both a physical and magical weapon. It is activated by using smash attacks. It eventually breaks, but it can be reused after a set amount of time. Robin uses a Bronze Sword when the Levin sword is unavailable.
  • A chargeable downwards slash that hits in front of him, appearing to be a forward smash very similar in animation to that of Marth.
  • An upwards slash in midair.
    • Both of these moves appear to have electric properties.
• Chrom appears as part of his Final Smash, which appears to be a trapping slash move analogous to Great Aether.
