Samus morphball (as a Crawl)

[CardiganBoy]

I'm kind of dissapointed that in past games Samus can only use the Morphball as her roll (wich is a very slow roll)
She should be able to use it as her crawl, the Morphball is such an importatnt element in Metroid games and would give a much better feel when playing as Samus.

No down-b complicated mechanics, just crouch and a diagonal movement of the stick, just as the other characters with with crawls.

Also, it would be cool to have the boostball as a crawl attack.

What do you guys think?




No "y metroid can crawl" yokes, please.

 

[LiteTheIronMan]

well there's no reason to not want it. the more buffs to her roll/movement options, the better.

 

[KoRLumen]

If it's like PM, then yeah, I would like that.

Her dodge really should be the strafe from Prime or the Sensemove from Other M. Using morphball to dodge just makes little sense when Samus is such an physically capable character.

 

[CardiganBoy]

Yeah just like P:M, plus the sensemove or strafe would look pretty stylish.

Did anyone see the end of the Little Mac trailor?

At the very end you see Samus's Morph Ball rolling slowly by. Might be a hint. Probably nothing of course, but who knows?

 

[UltimateWario]

They need to make her not have the worst roll in the game.

I don't care beyond that.

 

[Xcano]

I would really, really, like this addition to be in the game. The opportunity for !!SCIENCE!! is great with something like that.

Now if we could only get this into Sakurai's head.

 

[SmashWolf]

Yeah, I've been hoping for this a long time now, but I haven't seen any footage or mention of it yet.

 

[Z1GMA]

I guess we could start spamming the idea over miiverse, but even then :/

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

Crawling(or really, rolling) is good, but I would still rather have it as her down special

Morph Ball Roll
Morph Ball Bomb
Morph Ball Jump
Morph Ball Boost
...Spider Ball?

 

[Altais]

That would definitely make sense. I could really see this happening, since they are going back to all the character's roots more than ever before (such as giving Donkey Kong his roll attack).

If you look close, you can see Samus in a morph ball with no bomb.

We need to perform an inception.

Actually there's a bomb, but the arrow's obstructing it.

 

[Z1GMA]

I just don't know why Sakurai haven't implented it yet ' ~ '

 

[CardiganBoy]

Welp, looks like we may just not see a morphball crawl, at least Samus' roll is faster this time around.

No, they are not. Otherwise, why does that Yellow Rat still have Skull Bash?

I hope at the least one of Samus' moveset customizations is Morph Ball Mode/crawl with the ability to manually drop bombs.

This is how morph ball should have worked from the beginning. I would LOVE it if they made this happen.

 

[TheAccursedHunter01]

Found this image with Samus in the middle of the air but no bomb in sight, thoughts?

Most likely Samus put a bomb down close to Mii Fighter and is not visible because of the tight angle, but I figured I'd put it here anyway.

 

[IsmaR]

The bomb itself could be overlapped/inside of Samus. Some past screenshots had similar appearances with it being obscured.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Because Pikachu can learn Skull Bash in pokemon yellow.

Really? We're beyond Generation 1(or we should) He should be using moves relevant to Generation 3 and beyond!

Anything to make her feel more like Samus in ANY metroid game. How she plays in all the smash games is so unlike how she feels in any metroid game. It's unlike what any other character goes through in the entire series.
