Nope, I'm pretty sure they were all the same colour. Like Blue outfit and blue hair, red outfit red hair, and green outfit green hair, probably to reference ally units (blue units), enemy units (red units) and neutral units (green units).

He now has a green outfit and brown hair, that's definitely a reference to Mark from FE7.

I don't say you can't win at all or advance normally, I just say you can't do it as fast as with others drivers, that's it.
But speed isn't the sole determining factor, guaranteed efficiency is too, and Nia excels at that.

Nobody but the the five people who OCD over doing absolutely everything in this game like getting Chapter 1 Jin and Malos to Lv. 99 are actually going to care about speedrunning Challenge Battle because Challenge Battle is a bad speed game. Only the main story is worth speedrunning and that's got nothing to do with the mediocre battle system, but the sequence breaking.

Nia is an incredibly efficient character. She may not do things as fast as others but she can secure you tons of guaranteed victories that don't rely on RNG. She's not this incredibly low tier character you make her out to be.

Incineroar is the slowest character in the game, apparently. Which is funny cause I thought he looked kinda nimble, but maybe this game is just fast.

So yeah, Robin no longer the slowest character.

They're probably still slower than the potted plant though

Except M!Robin's green alt has green hair in Smash 4 and not brown hair, F!Robin's red alt had red hair and not blonde hair, M!Robin's blue alt looks like gray hair rather than blue hair and F!Robin's yellow alt has brown hair rather than blonde hair. So Robin's Alts did change across games, much like Shulk.

Edit: I still think it's a travesty in not making Palutena's hair blonde in her Viridi Alt.

Welcome back Opossum Opossum .

In Smash 4 I secondaried Roy, so I will try out Chrom now.

Also I colored your name a beautiful hot pink. The works of Shiny are legendary.

Smash having a distinct lack of People of Colour in the roster outside of Miis and alts for other characters is indicative of a wider problem with gaming as a whole. Sure, Ganondorf is there but he's not great rep at all.

The gaming community, particularly online, being a cesspit really doesn't help when calling for more positive representation.

Shulk
-MALLC is gone

-Monado Switching is faster

-"Aerials seem better", multiple people mentioning Neutral Air in particular

-Neutral Air is "way faster"

-Air Slash's second hit range shortened, but move is faster

-"Ftilt feels quicker"

-Air Slash ledge snap is worse

-There is now a meter on his HUD indicating how much time is left on the active Monado Art
Why did they remove MALLC only now? We've known about it since Day 1 of Smash 4 and it was never patched out.
Also, why did they need to nerf Air Slash, who thought Shulk needed a nerf at all?
that faster NAir is still great though

Oh, I understood you guys meant Robin's hair didn't change at all in Smash 4

I mean, it makes sense.

In comparison, it has the same speed as Tangela and Sliggoo and is outspeed in one point by Chimchar, Tyranitar and Celesteela.

Roy got powercrept hard, I feel there's no reason to play him over Chrom now. Chrom's sword is just better in every case. The only bad thing might be his recovery, extremely vulnerable, Roy might have the edge there, but otherwise, lol poor Roy.

Hold up, MALLC is gone???? Crap, I loved using that thing on for glory and getting sick punishes on people. I'm going to miss it.

But yeah, I applaud the Nair buff, I love spamming that ****, if it's better then I'm happy. Sad about airslash though, I liked using that as an OOS option to kill. If his aerials are improved and his tilts are better I feel he will be better than Smash 4 Shulk still.

What we can take from this is that Rodin should have been a newcomer.
people will say skin color doesn't matter but i wish i could see how anyone would react if i proposed inkling's default costume should be black before they were announced

Doing something faster isn't just for speedrun sake, you know?

The faster you finish something, the faster you get the reward for that challenge, and the faster you can retry and gain more cubes in the process

If you can't have constitent setup that don't rely on Nia healing, sorry but I think you just aren't exploiting the game at it's most broken level. Getting party setup that can survive and deal damages is very easy, with Nia or not, she doesn't influence much or anything at all. Like, Poppi Alpha can be the most broken tank in the game, and yet, you can see plenty of videos of peoples just not using her at all because Poppi QTr is so broken that she can do whatever she want, litteraly. Does that make Poppi Alpha bad? No, but you could better stuff than taking hit and taking damages for hours.

Perfect defense doesn't matter if you can just kill everything in 5 seconds. And I don't think a full party setup as to worry much about RNG at all if you pick the right blades with the right equipements.

Whatever you find this fun or not however is a another question entirely, XB2 battle system isn't perfect for sure, it's realyl unbalanced, but what constist something fun for me honestly depend of my mood and what I want to do, if I want to win I go for the best team possible, if I want to win but go weird, I take a good enough weird team, and if I want to do for the lol, I just take a weird team that isn't great, but still fun. (Those Chapter 1 run Jin & Malos lvl99 you mentionned btw were just for the lol too, they weren't expecting anything good of it, they just wanted to do it because why not? Peoples have just alot of time on their hands sometime)

Air Slash still seems to be a solid kill option. I'd say it's even better now, the problem is that as a recovery, it's way weaker. Ledge snapping was already a problem in Smash 4 and now the reduced landing and faster second hit means you can't punish people waiting at the ledge with a delayed hit as effectivelly.
NAir buff is a godsend, specially if it keeps the reversed sweetspot. I've seen people theorize that NAir will be a good juggling tool now too.
Still worried about his ground moves, FSmash is completely pointless with Corrin and Simon/Richter around and it's super punishable; Side Tilt is also garbage and I hope they buff it.
Also also, please increase his range, the range powercreep is seriously ridiculous and annoying.

So, is Bayonetta still top tier? In E3, she decimated poor Ridley.

I just want to know if she changed.

I’m gonna ask an honest question.

Give me ten characters of color that are actually fit for smash.

Because let’s face it gaming piroritizes white characters.

And that’s really all I will say on that. I’m genuinely curious if someone can come up with ten characters that fit smashes requirements and would make sense

The games I want the most right now are Smash Ultimate, Red Dead Redemption 2 and White 2.

If you are confused about White 2, my reason is because I just want to try it out again.

That was my first Pokémon game.

So do y'all think the concept of echo fighters was underutilized or nah? I keep seeing this sentiment on Reddit.

I think some characters coud have been added, but honestly, I'm pretty cool with what we got, I'm just happy to have DS playable in any form.

I feel that way too tbh. I mean, we got less Echoes than unique newcomers, which is really weird, specially with so many good candidates for it such as Shadow or Impa. It also feels like only Chrom and Dark Samus were included for the fan demand that seemed to be the rule for this one. Ken and Richter are great but they weren't popular picks like Chrom and Damus were. And Daisy... Lol

Except there is a very specific set of fights that are best for grinding each resource in the game and most of them can be done in no time flat with any basic Driver and Blade setup.

If you can't have constitent setup that don't rely on Nia healing, sorry but I think you just aren't exploiting the game at it's most broken level.
I never said I can't do other consistent setups, I'm just saying Nia is one of the best at being consistent, ergo she's just as good in the post-game as anyone else and has some strengths others don't have. Like how you can't solo that mission I solo'd with Nia as Mythra. That's an exaggerated example and you normally wouldn't solo anything if you're just trying to clear things, but it perfectly illustrates my point. Some characters are better at certain things than others, but most characters in the game can do whatever you need at about the same level due to how horribly balanced the game is without resorting to Custom Difficulty to handicap yourself. There is no such thing as an OP character in XC2 because almost everyone is OP in the context of a game with no sense of difficulty scaling.

Yes. I don't even see why they went to the trouble of branding them as such, and the criteria for being one is pretty sketchy anyway.

There are only 2 echoes I want.
One of them is Alph because he deserves justice.
The other one is Edgeworth in case we miraculously ever get Phoenix Wright.

I mean we got a lot but there was also potential for a lot more. Even for dlc there could have been some good choices. We got a fair amount but characters like shadow or even riku or Roxas if Sora is dlc would have been great echos.

It’s a nice concept but can definitely be used more in future games if they happen.

I take your words I guess at this point.

Well, OP drivers or OP Blades? Because for OP blades, I say they are soem who are broken that they are like MK broken compared to others, Poppi QTr being imo the best blade period once you have the best core for her.

But whatever, whatever I say, you like Nia? Cool. You're having fun with her? Cool. You think she is good as she is? Cool.

I like Nia, I have fun with her, I can play her fine because like you said, the game unbalanced. But no matter what, I will always feel that she isn't AS fun as others due to loads of things I just don't think are good choices.

That Nia True Solo run btw, I did it, I died on my first try because I suck at video game and all that good stuff (probably didn't do the best choice on some moment and/or I didn't took the best equipement on that try, I dunno). But I won on my second try.

It was boring as ****, once I won, I didn't feel anything but like I wasted 20 minutes of my life. While I didn't won my Mythra solo run, I alteast felt something because the pace of the fight was quick and didn't drag on and on like a DBZ fight or somethin'.

That's not to say I don't like slower fight, alot of challenge mode tend to take some times, but there, I felt something because I wasn't just taking hit and then dealing hit while spamming level 3 or whatever. No, I did drivers combo, blades combo, use arts that deal more damages on toppled enemy, dodge attack with a evasion move, topple lock enemy with Cressidius, brief, I did the kind of stuff that make me love XB2 battle system.

My Corvin True Solo Run meanwhile was basically spamming one move, but I didn't care because the fight ended quickly, so I didn't have time to get bored.

All of this is to say that Nia is just not as fun to me, because the fun she can offer, others characters can do it better because, like you said, the game is so unbalanced that almost everyone is broken to various level, and to me, Nia is just not broken enough to me to make me want to use her most of the time.

There, that's my true final post on the matter, and to make sure of it, i'm going to put you on ignore for the rest of the night. I know, I'm running like a coward, but I been debating for long enough and I know for a fact that I can't resist to debate more about this, so I feel like it's the best solution for me. It's really late here, and I want to focus my attention on something else, so, say whatever you want about me, I won't care because I be doing something else.

My opinion isn't perfect, your opinion isn't perfect imo, this debate as lasted long enough, end of the story.

Have a nice day.
