I dunno. The physics makes it hard for me to tell. I can't chain lightning kicks like I could in Melee, and they're definitely harder to land... but they do send them farther. Strangely, I kill at the same %s in both games, though it might be a bit easier in Brawl.

I think it's about the same, but the sparkliness and that stun makes it seem a lot harder.

Could be wrong... Never really played her in Melee. I was a Sheiker.

Go try her in Melee if you can. Believe me, it's infinitely easier.

Oh no no I know it's definitely easier to sweetspot.

Din got much stronger as well as much more flashy, primarily due to the new graphic capabilities.

I know the Lightning Kicks got the same flashy new look, but I don't know if they got stronger as well.

Someone like DarkMusician probably knows best.


The kick might be a little stronger in Brawl.

That being said, it's much more useful in Melee. Because in Melee not only was it easier to land, but you could combo into it. Like Falcon's knee, it wasn't something you saw every once and while... but something that people based their playstyles around.

I'm guessing you meant it's less useful in Brawl :p
In any case I'm pretty positive it's more powerful in Brawl, considering it now kills at around 60 undecayed which is something I don't believe the Melee kick did, and everyone is harder to kill in general in Brawl.

Oh wow. Yeah dumb mistake.

I just said the exact opposite of what I intended.

LOL, thanks for catching that before more people see it.

It's much more difficult to land a sweetspotted kick in Brawl. Though, the reward for doing so is better since the damage and knockback has increased.

I definitely agree that the knockback and damage has increased in Brawl. Undecayed, this move is basically a finisher whereas the Melee kick as before mentioned could be strung like Falcon's knee.

Um, I think in-between the transition from Melee to Brawl, Zelda borrowed/stole Captain Falcon's Knee power while obvious nerfing it big time. I feel sorry for the cap'n, yet happy for the Principesha =).
