Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS details about Robin, Lucina and more

Nintendo Everything reader gigamario has translated a bunch of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS from this week’s issue. Most of the information pertains to Robin and Lucina, but there are a few other bits as well.

All of the details can be found below.

Robin

– Uses Levin sword for smash attacks and tomes for specials
– If Levin sword breaks it will regenerate after some time as Sakurai explained in the picture of the day
– Side smash: Horizontal cut with Levin sword, thunder effect adds damage; After number of uses Levin sword breaks and you will use bronze sword
– Aerial front: If you input smash midair, you will use Levin sword (while uses last); the magazine advices to pay attention how many times it is used
– Down special: Violet serpent formed spell. If it hits, it will damage opponent and heal user. If hit behind back, healing effect will be greater
– Side special (giga fire): Does large amount of damage. Shoots fire diagonally downwards and if it hits ground, item or enemy, it will burst into upwards pillar of flame which damages nearby area
– Normal special (thunder): According to charging time, it evolves from thunder to elthunder, giga thunder or thoron. Press b to charge and press again to unleash. If you press shield button while charging you can store the charge and continue where you left afterwards
– Up special (elwind): Launches downwards 2 projectiles and Robin jumps from the momentum. If you use all the uses you can’t unleash projectiles or use the jump effect.
– Final smash (double): Chrom dashes in and slashes while Robin uses magic in midair.

Stages

– There is a great variety of “gimmick” stages in this game and this (Ferox arena) is one of them
– At the beginning the stage is flat but there will appear additional platforms
– If you attack supported platform it will shake left and right or even crumble if attacked enough

Lucina

– Lucina is as Sakurai told earlier: same moves as Marth but dealt damage is same for all parts of the sword
– You can attach or detach the mask at the stage entry or with taunt

Other

– There is also small dialogue kind of thing (between editors?) where they hype the Captain Falcon and my unit announcements
– They may also say that they were surprised that Chrom isn’t in, and Sakurai himself will explain the reasons at page 176 (unclear)
