Super Smash Bros.

But if we were going with her being alone, she would still be another sword wielder. Not to mention the whole thing about spoilers. It would've caused a shitfit in the Xenoblade people since it's a major character development for her.

It's been a while since I played the game, but didn't her default weapons were claws? Using them and her tiger familiar (with the super mode having a sword) will be different enough. And it could be pretty awesome if she could summon a bunch of familiars from the game.

No her default was basically chakrems, those are basically for all the beast class Blades with except to maybe a DLC Blade. The claws you may be thinking about is her ripping up a wanted poster of herself.

Literally fucking who???

 

[Nauseated Courgi]

Literally fucking who???

Secondary character from an anime game.

 

[Dark Edea]

There will be a third fighter's pass that has the characters people expect.

Grunty, Robotnik, Walu, Iron Chef and Crash Hedgehog.

What's the issue with Sonic? I thought he was pretty alright in Brawl. Maybe a bit on the weakside, but decent. Snake wasn't too bad, very fun.

 

[Rotollo]

Iron Chef

Final smash

What's the issue with Sonic? I thought he was pretty alright in Brawl. Maybe a bit on the weakside, but decent. Snake wasn't too bad, very fun.

its mostly with missed potential for sonic
>His victory theme is the only one that wasn't made specifically for smash
>his down and side specials are spin dashes
>still only has one remix with one mania song and multiple from forces added in ultimate from smash 4, making him the Third least 3rd party music series other than pre sepheroh FF and DQ
>his stages are Green hill Zone and Green hill Zone with windmill
Its great that he's in but it's shocking how bad sonic feels repped since brawl.

 

[Dark Edea]

Final smash

Yessssss! YES!

Death to America!

It’s not that he isn’t functional or a decent character, it’s that most of his specials are just spin dash, which rewards you for basically running away the whole game. It’s annoying to play against and boring to play.

I’m happy that switch games are getting represented, it’s always a bummer when current Gen stuff gets left out of smash and is irrelevant by the next one, like Xenoblade X ironically.

His moveset is very lazy and like half of his moves are just the spindash. Doesn't use his moves from most of the games. Compare sonic to basically every other 3rd party character since and even snake.

 

[XtrmGamr719]

How would you fix up Sonic?

 

[Rotollo]

How would you fix up Sonic?

make sonic 4 episode 3
No but really here's how I would do it
>replace the jump spindash with a boost that functions like the rush games, meter similar to R.O.B.S at the Hud, let you jump out of it for increased vertical mobility similar to his old side b
>replace windy hill with city escape just for level variety without the checkerboard stuff
>Put in some more music from Unleashed/colors, IDK what fully but have it cap off with Endless Possibilities remixed by the daytona USA guys along with some more Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 tracks

It has properties that break online/offline programming which give it an advantage.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

I have no issue with Pyra and Mythra being in Smash. I do wish that Luigi wasn't done dirty in Ultimate, but I have mained Wario instead.

 

[Jeff Boomhauer]

I don't have a problem with Pyra/Mythra, though I'm mostly just "Eh," with everyone in Fighter's Pass 2 so far. I don't think any of them are bad picks, but I'm not going to be using them extensively. I'm probably just showing my age, but with Ridley, K. Rool, and Banjo-Kazooie in after years of demand, the roster has this feeling of being "complete." Every other character is a bonus.

I do find it funny that people rage at Nintendo wanting to advertise their own games instead of combing through every autist's wishlist.

Same, I've gotten pretty much all my picks. I'm just waiting to see what comes next now.

 

[Manah]

I'm not exactly thrilled over them being the new characters, but I'm not out right dissapointed like I was when Byleth was announced. Kinda feel bad for the Rex fans though. The boy got mega cucked.

What rex fans, rex sucks.

 

[Overcooked Raccoon]

Honestly I was expecting a Namco rep, but I think this was made to hark back to when Rex was planned to be in Ultimate but didn't make the cut due to time constraints. Now he's in the game in Pyrha's taunt, so people can have that.

Glad that smash is dipping back into female reps to make up for the fact it's from another JRPG people will complain about. That and it's two waifus is pretty nice for fans of both characters.

Though the real fucking win is if we get Torna Golden Country's battle theme in the game. That is some of the smoothest fucking jazz in Xenoblade, and JRPG's in general.

 

[Fishious Rend]

If my boi, hank hill doesnt get into smash then we do a propane riot in smash.

 

[Sexy Potoo]

At least she's not another Fire Emblem character, that series is way overrepresented in Smash.

Honestly, Byleth is the biggest reason why people are complaining about Pyra/Mythra.

One of the biggest complaints about Byleth was that everybody thought the Fire Emblem rep stole the spot from Xenoblade. Obviously, that is not the case, but Fire Emblem is very over represented in Smash smash. If the LoZ franchise was given the same treatment as the Fire Emblem franchise, there would be 6 - 8 Links in the game.

Also, Byleth pushed people against anime sword fighters. Sephiroth was well received in smash and he is an anime sword fighter, but people were legit wanting him in Smash due to his importance in FF, and he has a lot of magic to mix up his moveset, so people gave him a pass. But the resentment against sword fighters wasn't removed, just repressed for Seph.
