Done and done. The Queen needs some more reinforcements in this fight.
Though, frankly, and I know this may be argued as boiling down to personal bias, but I don't think Hades deserves that slot as much as Medusa.
Hades is the new Geno, that fan favorite that garnered a lot of attention despite being in one game.
God forbid Hades x Medusa becoming a canon couple (That could make the Palutena x Medusa fans very unhappy). But who cares, that means more deliciousWe don't know who the next villain will be in the next KI. But based on what I said, the main villain will probably be Hades again, with Medusa as his henchmen again.
I doubt he'll be a one shot.
Sakurai was probably not expecting Dark Pit either. Considering Palutena's and Robin's trailers, he was probably at this point still considered as an alt for Pit.
You're right, the Lord of the Underworld would most likely be a Wario clone with such moves.
Well since Palutena/Athena was the one who turned Medusa into a monster and the Greek Gods and Goddesses were pretty much perverted, had a sick sense of justice and did whatever they want Palutena x Medusa could work. Too bad Nintendo won't go that far.God forbid Hades x Medusa becoming a canon couple (That could make the Palutena x Medusa fans very unhappy).

Hades WaftYou're right, the Lord of the Underworld would most likely be a Wario clone with such moves.
Hades being a falcon clone or semi clone would be as much disrespectful as Ganondorf still being one. After finding out that Ganondorf's move set didn't change I just gave up on him. Smash Crusade still has the best Ganondorf so that's still a plus.Hades Waft
On a more serious note, I seriously "fear" that if Hades is playable, he would be unoriginal as a fighter (despite being an original character), with Falcon and Ganondorf (especially Ganondorf). His projectiles as a boss aren't that notable either, there's just many.
Funny quotes aren't enough to me, compared to Robin's tome for example
I actually like Falcondorf. I simply want the deadman volley and he would be perfect.
He uses various energy based attacks through out the final battle. The real problem is figuring out how those attacks would work in smash bros.
You mean the various projectiles he uses? That's the reason I think he would look better as a boss. Only the first part of the boss battle is really exploitable to me.
To be fair, she have a teleport ready for this, and the uppercut can work well as a Smash.
Now that I think about it, the uppercut as uair would be awesome. It would make her an unpredictable character when it comes to recovery.
An up-air that work as a recovery would be kinda OP don't you think?
Even if it's purely vertical.
i figure it's range would be similar to little mac's up b and would have a bit of a diagonal tilt but not too much. the teleport would have a lot of range but would also do no damage. we don't know if it would be op until we see it's execution. what i do know is that it would make for a very interesting character to useAn up-air that work as a recovery would be kinda OP don't you think?
I feel its much easier to make moves for medusa. i will never argue this but there are still moves that would work well with hades like those purple orbs he summons that later launch at the player shortly after or that ground punch he does where his arm gets stuck ect ect. But he would still make for a cool boss. what if he could (temporarily) destroy parts of palutena's temple.You mean the various projectiles he uses?

By the way, we are talking about Sakurai's character, he can do what he want with him... This applies to Medusa too, in fact. Afterall, he took liberties with Palutena's special moves already... Or the twirling baton attacks
An underworld stage where we fight on the great sacred treasure against Hades would look cool too.
Its interesting we are responding to each other on two different forums :D
Because Sakurai is bound to be biased when it comes to characters that HE personally created (Kirby, Dark Pit, ect.). I had a bad feeling that Pitooey would show up for that reason alone. There's a slim chance for Medusa to be DLC, but the addition of a fourth rep would be enough for the Smash fans to rage even more (Like they hadn't already done so with Dark Pit).Sad that Garbage Pit got in iver Medusa. She could have easily been a Palutena clone. Heck shes more prefered and would have gotten way less hate then dark pit because she's appeared in more then 1 game, is significant to Nintendo, a villain, female, female villain and great design in general. Ugh why did he add playable trash over the goddess of darkness.
I thought I would be dissapointed by Dark Pit inclusion, but considering he is a clone, I'm not. He was always considered in the game, as a costume, but added as a fighter along Lucina and Dr Mario. Among the costumes, only Alph could had been a separate playable character too, but I don't see the point in a pikmin clone honestly.Sad that Garbage Pit got in iver Medusa.

I wonder if dark pit's inclusion will make it so neither Medusa or Hades become playable as dlc due to too much kid icarus representation. But that will never be able to be proven so what ever.
It's actually cause he was originally an alt tho
True that, but that still doesn't mean that Sakurai would like to cut his own babies (Dark Pit, ect.) any time soon. Which is rather unfortunate for greater choices like Medusa and Hades to begin with.
Sakurai will get "bias" no matter what. The problem is that the choices he'll make will be debated, no matter what. It's a lose-lose scenario.
Honestly, I hated Dark Pit's inclusion, but I'd be A-OK with Medusa. I'd just prefer that K. Rool, Isaac, and Dixie get in first. But I really, REALLY like the idea of adding a female villain. And one that's legitimately dark and sinister. She's a nice contrast to the rest of the KI cast. I'd rather it wait until next Smash at this point, and Dark Pit can get cut (well, he probably won't be, but it won't both me that much I guess).
