So, here is a copy/paste of something I did in the Wolf thread. A bunch of questions that I want everyone's opinion on. I know some of you here are also a part of the Wolf thread, so if you've done this before, feel free to ignore it. Otherwise, here:
- What do you all think Krystal's pose will be like in her official artwork? How to you want her posed?
- You think they'll port over Krystal's model and textures from Assault and upgrade them, or do you think we'll get a redesign?
- How do you think Smashified will make her? Like Isaac and rebuild Krystal's Assault model, or paint her from scratch?
- What do you think Smashified will do for her outfit? Assault, Command, Adventures, or a mix of them?
- Where do you think Krystal will end up being on the tier lists?
- I've seen this on another thread, but who on the roster would you be willing to sacrifice to get Krystal?
- Number one hope for Krystal in SSB4? Gameplay wise, ascetically, etc?
- Would you main Krystal or make her a secondary, tertiary, quaternary, etc?
- Do you like Krystal as a character in gaming, or just like her as, well, the stereotype all Star Fox fans get?
- Fighters in SSB4 that you have trouble fighting against in general?
- Do any of you have a local Smash scene that you go to/would like to go to?
- Anyone here have a YouTube, Twitch, or Twitter? Might as well support each other like we do Krystal.
- What do you all do out in the real world? Jobs, school, military, underground mafia, etc?
- Favorite color?
1. Most likely some kind of subtle nod to some of her official art from a previous game, and I don't have any real preference as long as she looks cool.
2. Very high chance there'd be a redesign that incorporates elements from all of her outfits. All of the Star Fox characters so far have had their Smash outfits be hybridized versions of what they wore in various games in the series, and I don't see why that'd change with her, especially since we've already had one DLC character get a redesign. That said, they might or might not include her tribal outfit from Adventures for a single costume, kind of like Shulk and his swimswuit.
3. It depends. There's (apparently) a really well done 3D model of her already that they
might use as a point of reference if they decide to do a full 3D model like with Isaac. On the other hand, they might just go with pseudo-3D art like with previous characters.
4. If they go the 3D route, most likely based on her Assault outfit but updated. If they go with original art, probably a new design.
5. We have absolutely no way of figuring that out, lol. The stuff that makes a character good or bad has nothing to do with who they are and what their abilities are and everything to do with the little pieces of data that go into how they work in Smash. Attack speed, attack range, attack
power, mobility, combo/string ability, kill power, ease of kill setups, offstage prowess, all things that we wouldn't know until if/when she gets in.
6. Ideally, since she's more or less a frontrunner, I wouldn't need to sacrifice
anyone. But if it was her only way of getting it and I
had to pick four, it'd probably be some combination of bonus clones and Mii types.
7. First and foremost, make her so well designed and so fun to use that it leaves people wondering why there were ever doubters and why it took so long for her to get in. Beyond that, I hope she'd have a more staff-focused moveset, mainly since we're really lacking in staff wielders
and magic users in Smash, and the techniques from Adventures would be unlike anything we've seen on the roster so far.
8. This question's a little different for me, since I focus on fewer characters than a lot of the people who frequent this thread, lol. I don't see her being my
sole main since Robin clicks with me so well and was my most wanted newcomer originally, but if she synergizes well enough, she could easily be a co-main or a secondary that I'd bring out for Robin's bad matchups. At the very least, I'd use her as a pocket character to use when I want to catch opponents by surprise.
9. I think she has a lot of potential that hasn't been used very well yet. There's a lot they could expand on with her backstory or who she is as a character that could make for some really compelling character interactions.
...I mean, she's pretty and all, but that's not the
main reason I'm interested in her.
10. Generally, the ones where I don't know the matchup very well:
et cetera. A good Villager is an absolute
nightmare for me with the projectile walls they can put up...unless I can grab the lead and take advantage of how much trouble they have making comebacks.
11. Things are actually pretty active around here. There's a weekly Smashfest I go to (my only way of playing the Wii U version so far with my limited income, as frustrating as that is), and as of recently, weekly, biweekly,
and monthly tournaments that I can't get to because I can't afford the entry fees.
12. Funny you should ask! I have a Youtube chanel
over here where I've been doing ongoing Let's Plays, and a Twitter account
here where I post updates on said Let's Plays among other things!
13. Not a whole lot right now, unfortunately. I made it 2 1/2 years though college before my health deteriorated so badly that I was in near-constant pain, could barely sleep, and was suffering multiple panic attacks a day from the stress, and I basically had no choice but to drop out for the sake of my sanity and well-being. I haven't been able to find steady work, either, since I don't have a college degree and since those injuries that destroyed me in college are still there because I haven't had the money to treat them properly. I only lasted two weeks at a movie theater back in December thanks to what I now know is a birth defect in my feet that causes excruciating pain if I spend too much time on them...something like the 9 hour shifts on consecutive days that ended up making it so I could barely walk without screaming.
And this is from someone who had a 4.0 GPA in high school and a 3.4 in college despite having one of the busiest majors on my campus.
I'm one of those cases a lot of people want to believe doesn't exist, and I can't tell you how many times I've had someone spin my story to try and blame me for my own misfortune just so they didn't have to question their worldview. The reason I've been focusing so much on Youtube and making connections with people online? Because pretty much every other opportunity for me to have a career I can survive on has been taken away from me.
And thanks to what happened three and a half years ago...anything less than that would mean spending the rest of my life alone and in unending pain I would be powerless to stop.
14. Azure blue. I've always found it calming, in a way.
I almost feel like this is missing a
15th question: What other characters do you support?
But beyond all of that, it looks like we're only a couple hours away from our turn in RTC again. Is everyone ready to counter the arguments that brought Krystal's rating down the first time? Let's make our voices known.
