To be fair, Robin's unique Tactician class was made specifically to be equal parts spells and swordfighting; They just started leaning towards the spells in later installments to try and balance out all the other swordfighters.
There are times when I'm legitimately curious on if they choose to have a Black Mage in the game, on whether or not they'll actually do a Black Mage character or Vivi. Cause Vivi is one of the most memorable Black Mage characters, but the Black Mage's whole hidden face with glowing eyes is iconic to the Job class in general. I'd like to say maybe both, but Vivi is a small character meaning it wouldn't be easy to do Vivi as an alternate costume to a Black Mage and vice-versa.
I have no shame in admitting SSF2's Black Mage was one of the biggest reasons why I've wanted a magic-user in Smash since the Wii U/3DS games.
Terry is the one dude that makes me embarrassed to be a Rayman fan..... I swear the majority of the community is not like him lol
I mainly remember him as the guy who just goes around and says "youre most wanted wont get into smash" and then whenever someone talks smack about Shantae he immediately starts asking what you have against her.
He hasn't changed one bit lol
A lot of support bases have "that one" fan.
You’re missing the obvious character from age of calamity:
Yeah, no surprise there. I wouldn't want him in my fandoms either.
Here's the Thing
But would Sonic Team even be okay with it? Bayonetta kinda-sorta-not-really interacting with Shadow in an all-ages game like Smash is one thing, but Bayonetta is a game that deservingly gets 17+/18+ ratings worldwide.
I wouldn't mind it, but those kind of things tend to result in one option being used all the time because it's considered to be superior, either in the whole game, or on a character to character basis. For instance, one assist might be the best for combo extension, and another is the best at killing, and a third is the best at blocking an approach. Those three would be used all the time and others that do the same job would never be used because they aren't as good.
Jesus, even I don't go through so many mental gymnastics to justify my beliefs that Assist Trophies aren't DLC in the same game as being an Assist Trophy until proven othewise.
I think if it was any other Character from Sonic (Besides maybe Silver, Perhaps Rouge and Omega), Probably Not, especially Sonic
I don't think they even need to replace Assist Trophies, just be a thing in and of itself. Like, reasonable characters like Krystal could be made into these assists, while the more bonkers stuff like The Moon remain as Assist Trophies.
The problem with this is that MissingNo isn't an official character. It's just a glitch that I doubt The Pokémon Company will ever allow to be brought up with anything official.
Actually, counters are ironically offensive abilities, as they don't really protect you so much as they are a "no u" button used when you know the opponent will strike. The problem with Witch Time is that it's too powerful at its most interesting, and functions like pretty much any other counter in its current state.
Honestly, I wouldn't put it past them considering his character is stuck in Shadow the Hedgehog nowadays. Even then though I don't think he fits Bayonetta's world aesthetically or tonally since his brand of edgyness is pretty much devoid of humor (I mean, he's not supposed to be like that, but that's how he is in that context), and Bayonetta is supposed to be bombastic.
I'm a Rayman fan as well and want him in Smash
****... Seeing Fancy Pants Man as an assist breaks my heart.
hey just a reminder not to double post. use the edit button instead, please. c:
Byleth?
Emphasis on "third party" in their post
Oh I was not doing a double post I was just quoting two different messages (unless you can quote more than one message at a time?)
You were doing a double post because it's two messages back to back. You can quote multiple posts in one post.
You can do that?
Yeah you can.
I'd argue that
kinda counts as a defensive Stone Wall;Which brings up an interesting - but extremely difficult - question: namely how to best design counter-attacks / armored attacks. Another problem - IMO - with many counters in Smash is that they're highly commital: people either throw them out as a desperation move or as a hard read, and they become not that effective outside of casual settings, the aformentioned hard reads or edgeguards. Still, counters does have its uses, albeit niché. If they're not absurdly powerful like
and 's were. 's design over-emphasizes this as an attempt to allieviate the intentional aerial problems he has). Armor can have its multitude of uses too - see Tough Guy and Rool's Belly Armor, so I kinda lean towards that as the basis of a counter-attack. Perhaps with some damage mitigation on top, although with a slowdown or something else as a (minor) draw back.
That is true, the meta and balancing of the game will be much different from usual if assists are much more integrated into the core gameplay. Ganondorf for example could have a recovery assist that can cover for his bad recovery and whatnot. We've never had something like this before in a platform fighter which is why I'm excited about how this could be implemented potentially for Smash in the future. It'll definitely need a lot of work and balancing to be done with it though, so no Rathalos swooping in and blasting the entire stage to the blast zone.
I don't actually think the entire assist trophy system as we know it should be removed. Impractical ATs like the moon could remain as items. But the practical ones could be reworked into viable and balanced choices for the core gameplay.
That would be the Main Reason yes, But I think a Character needs every advantage they can get in order to get one of those FP2 Slots
yep
there are two types of characters:
characters who will not be FP7
and Magneton
Did you forget that this pass started with a goddamn ARMS rep? A series whose chances were thought to be screwed because Three Houses is newer?
The only thing I could think of is Maybe make a Move have a Counter windowI'd argue that
- Luma's good at controlling space, partly because it can't suffer from status effects and it can attack / shoot Star Bits remotely (and Luma gains a 1.5x damage boost when far away from Rosa). There is a 10 secs cooldown on Luma's respawn (which is shorter in FFAs), so in those periods the Rosa will want to be more cautious.
- She can outright nullify projectiles and items with Gravitational Pull.
- Several of her moves are frame traps or mind game-centric.
- She's floaty and rather lightweight, making mistakes potentially costly for her and thus encouraging her to play in a more defensive manner. This is a bit of a counterpoint; the primary reason she doesn't fit the classic Stone Wall archetype,

Armor in itself is not a bad idea, but there can be characters that are over-reliant on them (I'd argue
So, to go back to the question: How would you ideally design counters?
I do Remember that, But I also remember that Nintendo was giving out Free trial of ARMS in Same Presentation. it looked like Nintendo was promoting a Recent new Nintendo I.P that did very good numbers for a New I.P in the Fighting game genre. ARMS Never had a Character in the game, unlike Xenoblade. Xenoblade can still get character, but I'm just saying that's advantage for ARMS
In my eyes, only two DLC characters so far were utilizing multiple advantages, and they were the E3 Duo:
: Ballot requests, hugely iconic franchise in Japan, the latest game was getting an enhanced Switch port that they promoted using the pack by specifically saying the Luminary's from XI S, not XI. : Ballot requests, former Nintendo exclusive, keeps Microsoft on board while Sakurai is unable to make Steve without draining too much of his newcomer budget.

An ideal "glitching" fighter would be Gyigas
By giving them something other than a damage multiplier. As it stands, most counters are attacks out of shield if they had no combo ability, and had K.O. potential sometimes, and Witch Time is literally an attack out of shield with time to set up. Counter/Reflectors see good use as reflectors, and special counters that do something specific are often better than normal counters as well with things like Rebel's Guard and Revenge helping to stop projectile zoning and recklessness.Which brings up an interesting - but extremely difficult - question: namely how to best design counter-attacks / armored attacks.

I... don't think so. He does go all static-y in Earthbound, but I've never thought of that as a defining element of him. And - while I know a lot of people underestimate how many characters could actually work in Smash - there's no way that version of him could work as a fighter.
Yeah, Mac's moveset has never really struck me as at all representative of how Punch-Out actually works. He's honestly one of the prime examples of Smash sticking gimmicks onto a character that they don't quite fit on (which Ultimate improves on - there's still a lot of (arguably unnecessary) gimmicks about nowadays, but at least they're accurate to the source material). He should be a punish-based character whose main shtick is dodging, shielding, countering, or preempting enemy attacks.
