Hail to the King, Baby

Youtube user Relax Alax has uploaded another video in his Know Your Moves series, which focuses on Little Mac. In this series, Alax analyzes and explains the design choices that go into each Smash 4 character's move-set. His latest video touches on the techniques of boxing, why Little Mac's stance is so important, and why being a 17 year old kid from the Bronx might make him naturally weaker than some of the cast.

If you are feint of heart, be warned: There is mild Amiibo abuse in this video (no real Little Macs were harmed in the making of this video).

Previous episodes of Alax's Know Your Moves videos can be found here. To keep up with his new releases, follow him on twitter @ RelaxAlax RelaxAlax !
Who would be the most interesting character to see next? Leave us a comment below, and maybe that character will be the star of Alax's next episode!

Relax Alax always has good commentary, and always good editing. Love his work.

There's a part of me that wants this series to be called "Show me your moves" but that's probably just me.

I'm sad Li'l Mac isn't considered good, even now. I really want to play him because I like his character, and I feel like there's a chance that he'll be able to do good with him.

Mac is easily a tournament viable character, and no amount of player ignorance or mixed opinions is gonna change that. Play who you want and don't let scrubs tell you otherwise.

WELL, AT LEAST THAT'S OVER NOW!
This means that there are no more bad For Glory Macs...right?
...plz?
:cry:


Great stuff. I actually have a friend who played a lot of Mac when the game first released, and he happens to be a boxer. He will probably like this video.
On an unrelated note, how do you make drop-through platforms that don't move on Stage Builder?

It just goes to show how inspired all the newcomers have been this time around. Even something as small as movement animations can be design that way for specific reasons that call back to that character's identity.

RIP Mac Amiibo, 2015-2015. Cause of death: Diddy proving himself stronger, causing owner to throw Mac out.

Came for MU experience, got something even better. Very nice change of pace for character analysis, and interesting lore theory.
