Corrin
- “I've made my choice.”
- —Corrin, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Corrin is the main protagonist and avatar unit from the Fire Emblem trio of games, Fire Emblem Fates. Corrin was born as a member of the Hoshido kingdom royal family, but was kidnapped and raised by the royalty in the Nohr kingdom. The game revolves around the avatar as they are given the choice to join the side of either Hoshido or Nohr, or join neither side and instead head to the kingdom of Valla to destroy the entity who created the war between Hoshido and Nohr.
Corrin is a newcomer to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and like Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Robin in the game, the player can choose to play as male or female Corrin.[1] Corrin was released internationally as downloadable content on February 2016. Unlike other DLC newcomers, there is no exclusive new stage to download alongside Corrin; However, two new songs, the original and an arranged version of the main theme of Fire Emblem Fates, "Lost in Thoughts All Alone", are added to the Coliseum and Castle Siege stages instead, and two other trophies of his foster older brother Xander and his real older brother Ryoma from Fire Emblem Fates are added only in the Nintendo 3DS version. Much like Robin, Corrin's design can be customized in their debut games, though uses the default design in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
Corrin's primary weapon is the Omega Yato, the final form the Yato blade takes in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation. However, like in Fire Emblem Fates, Corrin can also transform parts of their body into those of a dragon for some of their attacks, giving them range. Corrin's neutral special move is Dragon Fang Shot, which transforms their arm into a set of fangs that fire a chargeable water ball that stuns foes for a brief time. Their side special is Dragon Lunge, in which Corrin jumps and thrusts their arm downward, transformed into a spear-like weapon. Their up special is Draconic Ascent, in which Corrin flies up with a pair of wings. Corrin's down special is Counter Surge, which is a counter move that fully transforms Corrin to counterattack. Their Final Smash is Torrential Roar, which turns Corrin into a dragon to catch opponents, followed by them roaring a stream of water that blows their opponents away.
In terms of equipment options, Corrin can use the Sword, Cape, and Shoes equipment. Corrin is the only Fire Emblem character to not use Boots for equipment.

3DS Fire Emblem Fates (2016) | Corrin's side special, Dragon Lunge, is no normal attack–skewer a surface with a lance-like arm, and it will suspend you in the air. Pin an enemy while doing this, and you can keep them in place and then follow up with a flying kick forward or back or just jump up. You can only thrust the lance once before landing. | Corrin's side special Dragon Lunge is no normal attack–skewer a surface with a lance-like arm and it will suspend you in the air.

N/A | Corrin blasts two columns of light on either side. If one hits an enemy, Corrin transforms into a fearsome dragon and unleashes a maelstrom that launches anyone unlucky enough to be caught. The light columns shoot straight up for a short moment, so using this move high up after knocking or throwing enemies overhead is very effective! | |
