That is very nice artworkI'd put it as an understatement if I were to say that Amaterasu has been by far my most wanted character for Smash ever since I started playing Okami back in 2019 (nearly 2 years ago what the heck).
She has everything going for her in terms of what she can bring to the table: a unique moveset utilizing Divine Instruments, the Celestial Brush, and possibly even the Godhood mechanic; a beautiful artstyle that makes for some of the most visually appealing stage options based off Japanese ink-wash paintings(If she does get in I'm hoping the Ark of Yamato is her stage); a godlike (get it?) soundtrack that's uniquely Japanese (or Ainu for the Kamui soundtrack). She'd be one of the most unique newcomers in all aspects of her representation.
Is she a lock for DLC? Oh heck no! She definitely has her hurdles, ranging from her series's niche nature to tough competition with Capcom's other possible picks (although I definitely wouldn't be against Dante or Phoenix tho). Regardless, she still has a chance and so long as that is fact, I'll be supporting her to the very end!
Here's some art I made in support of her inclusion in like an hour or something in Clip Studio and Photoshop:
Thanks!
Going by the 2.5 to 3 months between the second Fighter Pass reveals and releases, we'll likely find out who FP9 is in March.
Yeah I second that thought. I'm placing my bet on possibly a Mid-March reveal, with a Late March/Early April release.
Yeah that oneCan you post?
Wait are you talking about this one?
Oh ok. I've seen this leak a couple of times but I personally don't believe in it.
I mean, he did say that the reasoning for it was for the upcoming releases of the new MH and G&G games but yeah. I'm willing to take an L in regards to a new Capcom rep.
Praying she does get a spot (Although I kinda want Chief to get the last spot so we can get the appropriate "Finishes the Fight" tagline lol)
Good to see it celebrated
. I loved Okami, it was a great and unique game.
well, we did get Heihachis costume before Kazuyas announcement, so I wouldn't count out a Capcom rep entirely. But yeah, I can't say this speaks out on Capcom being super likely to end things up.
Never thought I'd see the day that Ammy would be one of Capcom's frontrunners lol.
Yeah, I could see the final Mii Wave consisting of a mixed bag from multiple companies, so I still have some faith.
Again, I reiterate. Sakurai stated in the pressentation it will be a while before the next reveal, not that it would take longer
I think the Celestial Brush would be what makes her complex more than anything. I do not expect a similar stance-switching mechanic for her in Smash.
The Celestial Brush would probably be delegated to her special moves. The Weapon swap works for A button attacks because you can change up speed for power or reach.
Right, yes, but I don't see why Ammy's main mechanic should be weapon swapping - not in terms of hitting down-B and getting new normal attacks. I mean, yes, there are multiple weapons in Okami, and you can swap between them. But the same is true of, like, Link or Samus or Bayonetta or Byleth. Changing my weapons is never something I did more than once during any fight in the game, so deciding that's the cool thing about the game that has to be represented in as much detail as possible doesn't make sense to me.
