I'm more interested in The Hero, as he seems to be very magic based, with the traditional Thunder/Fire spell + others that cost Mana. No idea how the character will play out in the long run though.
Wonderwing might be completely invincible since that's literally its purpose in the games.
They are his alternative skins, so yes. They probably didn't show them using the same moves.
Yeah--they even have diametrically opposing goals, approach preferences, ect. Honestly, the thing they have most in common is just their double jump.
This is the metric I've been using for years to see if my opponent is well-versed or not in the art of Melee.
seems to be back to SSB4 Ryu levels. He might struggle with zoners but has a rediculous CQC combo game. Here's some high level footage of him vs Joker.
According to the SmashWiki, the DQIV Hero is named "Solo". In other words:
It looked to me like it was more choose-a-special than change-a-moveset.
I think Banjo & Kazooie's overall mechanic may be collecting certain items as ammo. There is the golden feathers for the charge move, but also the eggs and grenades could also be a type of projectile the duo has to collect in the course of the fight. It would make sense to their source material as well.
I just wanted to lock it while I was doing my cleaning, it's back up.
Pretty sure we would have seen something like that in the trailer if it was that important. Even without a detailed breakdown like Joker they took the time to point out Hero's unique menu and MP. Banjo seems like a fairly straightforward bruiser with below average mobility that uses his zoning tools to open up his enemy to his hard hits.
Banjo is still in an early development state (emphasis on a Fall 2019 release) and the trailers only really gloss over some of the things the characters can do.
It seemed to me that Wonderwing has 5 charges, and each use consumes one charge. It was unclear from the footage if there's a way to regenerate charges short of dying and respawning; I find myself hoping there is, because otherwise Banjo would be limited to no more than 5 uses of the move per stock, which seems...weird. No other character has their moves limited quite so strictly, not even Robin.
Was there anything major about Piranha Plant that was not covered in his trailer? Having gameplay to show tells me they know how they want the character to work, and are just bug-testing, balancing, stat and move tweaking.
Will probably depend on how much utility they give the move. It already travels really far with decent startup considering that, and if they're truly invulnerable during the move... then their high recovery is almost completely uncontestable (and that's before getting into non-helpless up b mixups), and it'll be one of the best zone-breaking moves in the game, their trump card when egg-shooting and grenades (which can probably be used like Young Link's bombs) isn't enough. That said it's probably still fairly punishable if used recklessly, so chances are it'll almost exclusively be used for recovery in some matchups, in which case it's unlikely they'd actually burn though all five uses before getting KOed. These kinds of moves are best used sparingly on the offence anyway, limited use or no.
