Hey Medusa fans, long time no speak! Just thought I'd share for those who might not have seen so far that Sakurai talked about Kid Icarus Uprising recently as part of the
Harada's Bar series on YouTube (it was also highlighted in
Nintendo Life). Nice to see him talking about his old series at least!
On a separate note, did we ever think about a moveset for Medusa based on
Kid Icarus Uprising Together Mode Powers? That's what Palutena's movesets for both SSB4 and SSBU were always based on right? There are a few moves which are more characterful for the Dark non-angel team which I think would work well for Medusa:
Darkness- causes blind effect on targets
Virus - causes sickness and weakness in surrounding targets
Spite - sacrifices health and cause an explosion (this move can only be used by the Dark aligned non-angel team!)
Poison Attack - poison buff on attacks
Petrify Attack - petrification buff on attacks
Just thought I'd share for fun! And, just as we wait for the final DLC character in the challenger pack (with rumours of bonus characters on the way) I thought I'd just mention that as much as I suspect it will be someone like Phoenix Wright if you believe the leaks, I still hold a tiny sliver of hope in my heart for Medusa if bonus characters are indeed brought in at a later date. Even just as an echo character! If both Light and Dark characters can share the powers shown above, there's no reason Medusa couldn't use the same ones as Palutena even if it looks a little odd with her using light themed moves. I'd just make them all purple light, similar to the purple light effect already used in the barrier smash move.
