Ooooh I really like this idea. The Ultra Beasts have a lot of potential for fun/interesting stage hazards. Nihilego could latch on to a fighter and mess with their movements or force them to throw out random attacks. Celesteela could rocket across the screen or burn fighters as it takes off. Xurkitree could flail about and zap fighters. Guzzlord could eat players or devour parts of the stage. Maybe you could fight the Ultra Beasts and make them your ally upon defeating them, similar to Pyrosphere Ridley.
Most of Sonic's A/non-special moves are taken from that game. Would probably only be natural to do the same for Tails (Though borrowing from Battle would help alot)
This plus Impa. I was literally just looking back at what we have and I was like "Dang, this is pretty damn near perfect." It's funny because the return of every single past fighter really was something we didn't know we needed, yet here we are. Dixie and Impa would just be the cherry on top.
Personally I'd rather just not have her than have her potential squandered by making her an echo, she's too deserving of a character to be given that treatment.
I'd rather have Dixie playable as an echo, than not have Dixie at all, but that's just me.
Eh, to me it wouldn't really be dixie, it'd be diddy with a ponytail, and I personally think she deserves better than that
But with that mind set, do you consider Lucina as "Marth as a girl" or Daisy as "Peach with a new hairdo"?
He wasn't playable in the demo. Someone mentioned this thing about the tail before, but no one has backed it up with evidence?
Lucina pretends to be marth in her game and she uses the same sword as him (it's different but still the same sword I believe), even though they have different fighting styles technically, at the end of the day Lucina is another standard sword user who'd never get in as a non-clone and her fighting like marth isn't so crazy out of character since she literally pretends to be him.
If they're gonna go to all the effort of redoing all those animations why not just make her a unique character anyway
Again, this is where I fall into the camp of "I'd rather have her than not have her"
Apparently, Diddy's personal trailer shows his jab, and his jab finisher is different.
Yet he wasn't actually added, and our lineup of newcomers for the last few smash games have pretty much all been characters that were relevant outside of retro picks
It's in his character trailer.
They’d probably borrow from Fighters for most of his moveset and use Battle for his Final Smash like his Energy Ball arm cannon:
Huh.
I just figured Dixie would use her hair in place of Diddy's tail.
Because recency isn't an iron-clad rule, it's more like a guideline or a consistent trend. Lack of recent appearance doesn't automatically disqualify a character from being playable, let alone considered.
I did too, but in the same time, maybe they found it difficult to animate or something?
To have her hair match Diddy's tail in his old jab would require a really jacked up animation, and would probably be impossible to get it to match Diddy's hitboxes and hurtboxes 1:1 during the move.
You're absolutely right. We should have Ryu Hayabusa! Marco Rossi! Duke Nukem! Earthworm Jim! (no, seriously, Jim's series situation is so bad right now that Star Fox has it easy in comparison).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sakurai had considered putting Pit in the very first Smash, despite him not being in a game since 1991 at that point in time. Only thing that stopped him was not being able to get the wing physics right in the simpler engine. When he has an idea in mind, he'll usually get a chance to do it sooner or later.
Fair point (though Lucina does not have the same sword as Marth, she has the same sword as Chrom). I disagree though about Lucina being a standard Sword user, and I feel like they truly could have done something unique with her if they really wanted to. The only reason she's an Echo now is because Sakurai originally planned for her to be a Marth alt (because she disguises herself as Marth).
Ah, I see. That is an interesting change, but I wonder if they'd specifically change something about a fighter just so that another character can be an Echo of them? Like at that point is it even worth it?
I think you might want to lower your expectations a tad.
Like take off like at least 20 and just have 80 characters in smash?I think you might want to lower your expectations a tad.
I don't know Sandbag seems pretty likely.I think you might want to lower your expectations a tad.
Actually she does wield the same sword as Marth. Falchion's hilt and handle just got reforged over the 2000 year time skip.
The characters are in order of first smash appearance and the echoes are right next to their counterpart.
