Angel Land's Strongest Human, Magnus, enters the fray! -Assist Trophy confirmed-

[Oracle_Summon]

Magnus seems like an Assist Trophy candidate alongside Eggplant Wizard.

 

[CadePirate]

I kinda hope they put Palutena, Dark Pit, and Magnus were all in it. Maybe DLC post game?

 

[CadePirate]

I want Dark Pit, Palutena, and Magnus.......Maybe we will see DLC characters?

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Chuggaconroy supports Magnus and so do I.

 

[Deleted member]

wow, only 2 pages?
After playing Uprising, my view of Paletuna stayed the same, but Magnus, oh good lord
Anyway, am I late here?
I think if we get another KI, Magnus role would get expanded, as seeing in the last chapter he appears, he doesn't have time to answer Pit's question
Btw, there's a Magnus club? If someone could tell me how to obtain it

 

[Oatmeal.]

I support Magnus 100%. I just wish he had a larger role in Kid Icarus: Uprising so that he'd be a more likely candidate.

 

[Freduardo]

The only advantage Magnus has over Palutena/Medusa is that his move set is even easier to transfer cause you played as Magnus in the game and Kid Icarus played like a 3d Smash when on the ground. And Kirby Triple Deluxe plays like 2d platforming smash, cause Sakurai's imprint is undeniable.

But it's not like Palutena doesn't have an easy to find move set, she's a boss. She has been in more than one game in the franchise unlike Magnus. And ranks higher in popularity.

Kid Icarus Uprising just managed to be so good and have so many characters that would fit in perfectly in Smash Brothers that it really just makes me wish for franchise specific smash brothers offshoots, which other companies have essentially made versions of that aren't smash brothers quality, but some quite good towards the end of the following list: (Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion, Playstation All Stars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash Up, and Jump Ultimate Stars). I would play the Kid Icarus one lots.

And the zelda one lots.

And the pokemon one lots.

And the F-Zero one lots.

And every other one lots

Apparently I greatly enjoy smash brothers and Nintendo characters, amazing I'm on this type of message board.

I like both Magnus and Palutena, but I like Magnus more. However, Palutena is more likely.

 

[Dinoman96]

According to chuggaconroy, he saw Magnus as an AT.

[StaffofSmashing]

Poor Maggy...
On the bright side, he's guaranteed for Smash 5.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Even if I'm sorry because I like Magnus in Kid Icarus, I'll have to post this and sound like a jerk. so I apologize in advance for being stupid.

 

[Deleted member]

At least he's an Assist

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

At least! I always thought it was the better role for him, honestly.

 

[Altais]

To be honest, I was not expecting him to make it in as playable, at least not before Palutena. Nevertheless, I am thrilled he at least got in as an Assist Trophy; I rather liked the character.

 

[samsparta21]

Disconfirmed by Chugga. Dammit.

 

[Dinoman96]

Yep.

[TeenGirlSquad]

He seems to take damage, like Starfy.

Holy crap... He took out Villager at just 61% damage!

 

[Freduardo]

He seems to take damage, like Starfy.

He also seems to have a double jump, and up air attack, a jab, a forward tilt, and a block and dodge roll.

I wonder if they worked on him as playable and just found him to close to being Ike light?

 

[Altais]

Heh, when you summon him, he even says one of his lines from Kid Icarus: Uprising, "Sorry I'm late, but I had other business to attend to."

Angel Land's Strongest Human Magnus has other business to attend to.

 

[Frostwraith]

Hey look, it's my thread.

He's an Assist Trophy and, honestly, never had much of a chance as a playable character. At least, he is in the game.

 

[Altais]

I hope they make Magnus a more effective Assist Trophy in the final project than he was in the demo. I really think they should give him the attacks he had in Kid Icarus: Uprising, particularly his 3-hit sword combo, his dash kick, and his fire-whirlwind attack. If nothing else, it would make him stand out a lot more.

Was sleeping in the same bed with Lyndis but had to be called for his turn to Assist.
