Miracle Of Light - Palutena in SSB4 (Featuring Cereza from Bayonetta-series)

[Admiral Pit]

Looks like Lady Palutena's getting plenty of attention today. I like it. Just don't call her "ma'am." :3

Palutena's too big for Smash, if you know what I mean.

You mean her hair? I like her hair, it's very long.

Insert penis/crossdressing/transvestite joke here.

hehe...insert....

 

[Admiral Pit]

I think he means her "brawl size" (fun way to say that) when you use Pit's FS, but without holograms or w/e she uses, she's pretty much a head taller than Pit. Perfectly fine if you ask me. :3

....I was making a breast joke.
Hence the "if you know what I mean. "
As in, "her boobs are too big for Smash".

OH! Oh that's what you were talking about.

Thank goodness.

I...uh....

I totally didn't think it was something terrible.....

[Banjodorf]

I love how essentially everyone thought it was a transvestite joke! That's hilarious!

Don't worry Golden, I got the joke.

Oh, I like it. They're a heavenly pair after all, maybe even godly. <3

I hope Sakurai doesn't think Palutena's too big for Smash.

Take that everyway you will.

 

[Admiral Pit]

You know she isn't. Like I said, she's probably just a head taller than Pit (I think she was in Uprising), and in terms of size, ZSS was roughly around and slightly lower than that. So generally a female being just slightly taller than ZSS wouldn't be too hard to do. Even if she wasn't, as long as she was taller than Pit will make it just fine, but I personally think she should be the tallest character in the game to reflect on her Goddess-like position.

 

[Deleted member]

I think she's quite taller than Pit. I've seen her as sort of an Amazon woman in comparison.
IMO, being around Ganondorf's size works out perfectly.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ganon-size Palutena is the best choice, indeed, Golden.

 

[Admiral Pit]

That's actually a good idea. Still taller than Pit, and still have that feeling of being heavy. I just hope she isn't actually as slow as Ganon, though.

 

[SmashShadow]

That's actually a good idea. Still taller than Pit, and still have that feeling of being heavy. I just hope she isn't actually as slow as Ganon, though.

She is quite fat isn't she.
As long as she's using her awesome staff instead of shooting sparkles like some woman in smash.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ganon size =/= Ganon speed

Watch as Trollutena strikes again.
"Oh, you were expecting me to use my staff? Too bad, I'm using a sword! *pulls out Palutena Blade* "

[Deleted member]

Lol, George Takei never gets old.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Come on, I know Ganon Size =/= Speed. I just worry sometimes. But she is a bit more bulky than the other ladies, I think.D:

 

[Oasis_S]

I hope she floats all the time, and little sparkles of light fall off from her, andand the ground below her is ILLUMINATED. Would be a neat visual effect. I guess the light below her would kind of fade as she jumps. Or maybe, with what I hope will be NEW lighting effects, she herself would project light. That'd be pretty cool on dark stages. Also those little light sparkles would trail behind her as she floats around. Pretty cool.

 

[Frostwraith]

Watch as Trollutena strikes again.
"Oh, you were expecting me to use my staff? Too bad, I'm using a sword! *pulls out Palutena Blade* "

Trollutena: "Sure, you were expecting Ganondorf to be decloned and be a heavy sword user. Instead, Ganondorf is still a Falcon clone and I am the heavy sword user. Problem?"

That's a cool idea. She always has that glowing light crest behind her, so that could work.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

I wouldn't be surprised if she appeared in Dead or Alive.

 

[Frostwraith]

Phosphora and Amazon Pandora say hi.

There is NO such thing. This could even be used to her advantage.

Final Smash?

 

[FlareHabanero]

"Oh, you were expecting me to use my staff? Too bad, I'm using a sword! *pulls out Palutena Blade* "

The irony of course is that the Palutena Blade is a blade in name only and is actually more akin to a gun. This is further emphasized by the weapon specializing in range combat, with it's melee attacks being pathetic compared to the other blades.

Still, the Palutena Blade does seem to be the best weapon that fits her among the 108 available weapons in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

 

[Admiral Pit]

I wonder if one of her moves would be one of those "powers" that Pit could use in Uprising, like Reflect Barrier or Sky Jump or something. Heck, maybe one move has her using Wolf Claws, or even the Power of Caging! *insert special reference here*. :3

 

[Deleted member]

If Zelda can be given spells Link used, the potential for Sakurai to give Palutena some of Pit's Miracles (I think that's what they're called) is there.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Formally called Miracles; now Powers, but it's indeed possible. Heavenly Light would somehow fit her if she doesn't have that move that surrounds her in light during her boss battle. The big blue swirling light that is.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Regarding to powers, the ones that would make sense for Palutena is Heavenly Light, Celestial Firework, Reflect Barrier, Meteor Shower, Mega Laser, and Interference.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Reflect Barrier could be her reflector, Heavenly Light could either be a Down-B, U-smash or D-smash if modified, don't know how the others could be used unless Interference could be a blinding attack.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Well, I was just listing ideas for the powers. Aside from a more fancy version of the Reflect Barrier and Celestial Firework, I don't really expect much use from the others. Though I do like the idea of a blinding attack, but in the case of Super Smash Bros. when I say "blind" I really mean "stun".

Specifically, her blinding light attack (for the sake of consistency, I'll name it Luster Burst) from Kid Icarus: Uprising, where it causes Pit to become blind for a few seconds. In the context of Super Smash Bros., Luster Burst would instead be a tactical move designed to stun the opponent with a burst of light, with the duration being influenced by how long it's charged.

 

[SmashChu]

I think she's quite taller than Pit. I've seen her as sort of an Amazon woman in comparison.
IMO, being around Ganondorf's size works out perfectly.

I'd figured she'd be one of the tallest characters. Something you forget sometimes.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Well, being tall makes sense, but at the same time it should be a little concerning. Large characters in Super Smash Bros. tend to have that stigma of being a big target for combos.

 

[FalKoopa]

I think she should be the same height as Zelda.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Well there are some tall lightweights too, but for Palutena's case, she'd be heavier. She should be okay if she was good with defenses, but most likely she would be. Then I wonder if she'll be able to do certain things like CG or something with what she has, or other tricks.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Well, let's hope that being slow isn't an issue. A recurring problem with large heavy characters is that they are slow, which is blunt with stuff like Ganondorf and Bowser. Maybe as a subversion of the typical heavy weight, make her weak but fast in terms of attack speed?

 

[Opossum]

Specifically, her blinding light attack (for the sake of consistency, I'll name it Luster Burst).

I read that as "Luster Bust." I'm a terrible person.


Anywho, it's still nice to see that after so much time has passed after Uprising's release, Palutena is still one of the more popular newcomer choices. Similar situations, like Ghirahim and Zoroark, stagnated to the point that a request for either of them are more uncommon nowadays than they are common, essentially being more or less flavor-of-the-month (I'm not saying that true supporters for them don't exist, but most of the old support seemed to be so). I'm glad that Palutena has been aging like wine, to say the least. Even if her support isn't the loudest.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I think she should be the same height as Zelda.

I don't know. If anything I'd say that Palutena is more around Ganondorf's height, but the heels do make her look taller than normal.

 

[FlareHabanero]

The reason Palutena is not stagnating because there are justifications to include the character, not some sort of petty bandwagon over what is considered recent. She's a character with very positive reception and is important enough to be mentioned in the series title in Japan.
