'''Chrom''' is the prince (and eventual ruler) of [[fireemblem:Ylisse|Ylisse]], father of [[Lucina]] and descendant of [[Marth]] who makes his debut in ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Awakening|Fire Emblem Awakening]]''. During the events of the game, he meets and befriends [[Robin]] who joins him and his military band, the [[fireemblem:Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]], in defeating the Fell Dragon [[fireemblem:Grima (character)|Grima]]. He wields [[fireemblem:Falchion|Falchion]], the same sword wielded by Marth. In English, Chrom is voiced by {{wp|Matthew Mercer}},<ref>[https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/1027209533179932672 Tweet by Matthew Mercer]</ref> who has voiced him in the dubbed ''Fire Emblem'' games, while {{wp|Tomokazu Sugita}}, Chrom's Japanese voice actor in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, provides his voice in the Japanese version.<ref>[https://twitter.com/sugitaLOV/status/1027199951409803264 Tweet by Tomokazu Sugita]</ref>

==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Chrom appears as a non-playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' as part of Robin's [[Final Smash]], [[Robin#Pair Up|Pair Up]]. When the move is used, Chrom appears and dashes forward, sending any opponents in his way into the air. Chrom and Robin then both follow up with a series of attacks culminating with a downward blow that launches opponents. Chrom also appears as a collectible [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and an online profile icon, and occasionally appears alongside Robin in their victory pose.

Originally, [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] considered adding Chrom as a playable character, but felt he didn't possess any unique characteristics and would be too similar to other sword-wielding fighters such as [[Marth]] and [[Ike]].<ref>McFerran, D. (July 17, 2014). [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/07/sakurai_explains_why_chrom_didnt_make_it_into_super_smash_bros_for_wii_u_and_3ds Sakurai Explains Why Chrom Didn't Make It Into Super Smash Bros. For Wii U And 3DS]. ''Nintendo Life''. Retrieved August 9, 2018.</ref> This is referenced in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' in the [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance conversation]] for Robin, in which Chrom makes a guest appearance. Chrom also appears in Robin and Lucina's introduction trailer, where he is seen lying on the ground, having been defeated by [[Captain Falcon]].

In the Nintendo Direct broadcast on August 8, 2018, Chrom was announced as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', being an Echo Fighter of [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]]. While Chrom shares many similar moves with him, he also possesses a move that is similar to Ike's [[Ike#Aether|Aether]], though instead of throwing his sword, he slashes upward, sending opponents into the air. Chrom's moves also lack Roy's fire effects, including his Flare Blade equivalent. For his Final Smash, Awakening Aether,<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?category=cat02_fighter Super Smash Blog]</ref> Chrom performs a single slash, stunning any opponents in front of him, and performs his [[fireemblem:Aether|Aether]] skill from ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', lunging forward and launching them away.<ref>Nintendo. (August 8, 2018). [https://youtu.be/P-kQWJrjRV4 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct 8.8.2018]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved August 9, 2018.</ref>

===''WarioWare Gold''===
Outside of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Chrom makes a cameo appearance in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' in [[5-Volt]]'s [[microgame]] [[Fire Emblem Awakening]], where the objective is to direct Chrom to the enemy and defeat them.
