Hi Diamond Foxies!
I came here to **** on your opinion.
I came here because I saw people in the RTC thread citing "uniqueness" as a pro for Krystal.
However, I just don't seem to see the uniqueness in her.
Can somebody explain a bit of her powers, but as of now, I see Krystal as not very unique, as the Elemental Blasts and Quakes seem extremely generic to me.
Do your best on Krystallizing me, as I don't see it yet.
It's not necessarily the elemental blasts or quakes that make Krystal unique.
To me, her uniqueness stems mainly from the idea that she could be the only character to use a
physical bo staff fighting style on the entire roster for most, if not
all her
normals (A-button moves). People
then tend add the elemental blasts and quakes for her
specials (B-button moves). So, in a way, the elemental blasts and quakes are just the tip of the iceberg.
After that, we can factor in her telepathy for something like her Final Smash. Perhaps the most common suggestion of her telepathy I've seen would be for her to contact the Cloudrunner creature from Star Fox Adventures. This would lead into her re-enacting the opening of Star Fox Adventures, where she was flying on the Cloudrunner while it was blasting away at General Scales' ship with fireballs. This would kind of sound similar to Zero Suit Samus' Final Smash. It would theoretically look and act a lot differently than ZSS's Final Smash, though. Also, it's not a Landmaster, so that's a definite plus. But that's just a suggestion. They could do something totally different with her telepathy if they wanted.
After that, we could opt for for her to use some of the weapons from Star Fox: Assault for a few moves if needed. Personally, I'm not fond of this idea myself. I'd much rather have her resort to her staff alone because it is so much different than what other characters on the roster are doing (especially when compared to the other Star Fox characters). We have a lot of fisticuffs, swords, magic, and projectile weaponry in Smash. It'd be nice to see a
physical staff fighter for a change. But that's just my opinion.
By the by, I wouldn't personally want to seek to "Krystallize" someone. I don't want to shove ideas down someone's throat. The best thing we can do is talk about what it would be like, but it's hard to convey what something looks like in one person's mind to another without visual aid. I'm sure it's like this for other people who are supporting other characters.
