Rosalina's Attributes

[Louie G.]

I know that this is the 3rd thread I have made for Rosalina, but quite frankly, the character really interests me.
Needless to say there is more to come.

In Mario Kart Wii, Rosalina was a heavyweight. In Super Mario 3D World, her jump was the best in the game (along with Luigi) and her speed was the worst (along with Peach). Do you think any of these attributes will be translated to Smash? Keep in mind her movement in the trailer, and if that reflects any of the mentioned characteristics.

 

[TimeSmash]

I can see her being medium-heavy weight. Her running speed will probably be slow, but I could imagine her jumps being pretty good. She might have something kind of similar to float since she's like the queen of space or whatever. This is going off the three seconds I saw of the trailer haha

if u like Rosalinda you'll love this http://youtu.be/pPdutb_6DZU

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'm near certain she'll be a heavy weight, maybe medium-heavy.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Some attributes that I could probably bring up would be...

Physical Offense: 3/10; Lumas have variable physical strength
Magic Offense: 8/10
Walking Speed: Equal to Brawl Samus.
Running Speed: Equal to Brawl Mr. Game & Watch.
Weight: Equal to Brawl Lucario.

Rosalina would be very reliant on her magic attacks if she doesn't have a Luma present. Also, the Lumas would make up for Rosalina's weak physical attack power, as the Luma's color can play a factor on its overall power.

[Banjodorf]

Honestly I expect her to be a medium speed, more-on-the-heavy-side in terms of weight (I think that's just MK Wii talking.) with a slower falling speed. (Why would galactic space mama be a fast-faller?)

Walking speed. I don't know. Why does it matter?

As for power, I think she'll be about 5/10, with the Luma making up for the rest. Her attacks seemed to have a decent amount of power, at least.

 

[RyanR]

She seem relatively slow. Which is fine because I don't mind slower characters. (I think shes going to be in the middle in terms of speed)

And I hope she is heavy.

 

[SmasherCat]

What about attack speed? Not fox or kirby speed, but not slow either?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

If the upward and downward aerials mean anything, Rosalina's attack speed might be very manageable for most of her attacks. And her grab attempts seem to be quite fast as well.

 

[SmasherCat]

That's good, she's going to need some speed to combo effectively.

 

[pitthekit]

How dare you call rosalina heavyweight she ain't fat.... Ug lets face it those starbit cakes did a number on her...

You've seen how tall Waluigi is, right? Despite his size, he's actually a middleweight character. Rosalina's situation is not too different from Waluigi's.

Though I do wonder how tall Rosalina is when she's compared to Samus.

 

[extremechiton]

in todays pic of the day, sakurai states that she is tall, and her anti gravity effect makes her floaty.
this might hinder her seriously.

Its up already? Do they do the women line up again

 

[KingofPhantoms]

There we go. That's one known weakness.

 

[Nintendotard]

Sometimes its crazy to see how tall this woman is haha

 

[extremechiton]

its crazy that i get the pic of the day an hour and a half before the day is supposed to start.

 

[SmasherCat]

Haha, that's funny. Will there be another pic in a few hours too?
I guess all characters need some weakness. We'll see how heavy Rosalina is though.

 

[PKBeam]

Rosalina will have super ******** range and a Dair MS that's probably gonna kill at like 10% offstage.
She IS Olimar 2 except even more stupidly good.

 

[MoonlapseOpethian]

I can see Rosalina being midweight. I see no reason for someone the way she appears to be to be heavy in any way. I don't know about Mario Kart Wii, but supposedly she is close to Bowser's weight class, which I personally think is ridiculous. It only makes sense that she'd weigh something heavier than Peach, but still be considered a lighter, or mid/lightweight character.

She looks like she could be a overly broken character due to her range, but her weight, height, and presumably, speed, are going to be her kryptonite.

 

[SmasherCat]

Plus she has a luma to tank hits for her. And decent projectile protection with that d special, so she seems pretty defensive.

I like the Devil fruit moonlapse

Forgot all about that. She can basically use it as a shield on some Kankuro (from Naruto) level crap. lol

Also, thanks. You're probably the first person to comment on my picture despite other OP fans throughout the forum.

 

[PKBeam]

I wonder how she gets the Lumas? Waves her wand and summons them from air? Also what would be REALLY cool is if she moved at the speed of light - blindingly fast attacks and infinite mass, meaning she can strike fast and also never dies from being launched.

 

[SmasherCat]

Haha, I know what you mean. I thought it was just a fruit until I saw the 666. OP fans are nakama though

OT: Perhaps the floatiness can be useful in combos?

 

[jaytalks]

according to Sakurai on Miiverse, she's very light. dashing my dreams for a heavy female character archetype. Palutena, if you make it in the game, please don't let me down.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

And so Sakurai throws a loophole into our attribute thoughts. But it might be possible that she'll still be one of the heavier lightweights, since I don't expect Mega Mewtwo Y to outweigh her by any means.

 

[extremechiton]

so on the lightness scale.
jigglypuff being the lightest lightweight and
mr. game & watch (or some other lightweight character as i do know know the specific weights)

shall we rate her as being perhaps mid to high level light wieght or equal to jigglypuff?

 

[SmasherCat]

Probably a high level light character or low medium, just a bit heavier than peach.
Here's a weight chart.

http://supersmashbros.wikia.com/wiki/Weight

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I'd be more pleased if Rosalina was ranked the heaviest of all the lightweight fighters. She does outsize just about every Brawl lightweight after all.

Edit: I did do a bit of a game with the weight system earlier. The following may give others an idea on what I'm talking about...

I've decided to do a little game with the weight mechanics, and my roster input. This is just speculation on my part...

Weight Value: Character(s)

Spoiler

Super Heavyweights
124: King K. Rool
120: Bowser
116: Donkey Kong

Heavyweights
112: King Dedede
110: Charizard
109: Samus
108: Ganondorf
106: Wario, R.O.B.
104: Link, Captain Falcon
102: Wolf, Mewtwo
101: Palutena
100: Lucario, Ivysaur

Middleweights
99: Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, Sonic
98: Ness, Mega Man
97: Little Mac
96: Pit, Ridley
95: Takamaru, Chrom

Lightweights
94: Rosalina
93: Bowser Jr.
92: Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong

Super Lightweights
79: Meta Knight

75: Kirby
72: Squirtle, Mr. Game & Watch
60: Jigglypuff

Part of this has to do with Rosalina's confirmation as a lightweight character.

 

[SmasherCat]

Haha, we ninja posted each other. Someone's sources are wrong though, because our numbers don't match up.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

What I inputted was just speculation, so it shouldn't be taken seriously. After all, the weight values probably won't stay constant.

 

[SmasherCat]

Ah, okay then

 

[extremechiton]

for ridley being rediculously big, why is he only a middle weight?

 

[SmasherCat]

Yeah, Ridley should be closer to mewtwo's weight. Maybe a few more should be adjusted, but overall this list is looking pretty accurate. It is just speculation afterall.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

for ridley being rediculously big, why is he only a middle weight?

Ridley's body is rather lanky. That's pretty much my only input.

 

[extremechiton]

so a dragon probably bigger than bowser, is lighter than lucario?

 

[Superyoshiom]

Seeing her in the trailer, I can see that Rosalina moves faster than she did in 3D World. Then again, she seems to fly in the air like Mewtwo instead of running like in that game.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

so a dragon probably bigger than bowser, is lighter than lucario?

Okay, I think that's enough with the off-topic talk.
