Alright General thread, I've been playing SMRPG lately at nights. I recruited Geno yesterday and today I got through beating Yoshi in a race, so, we're gonna talk about it.
Geno: If Geno got into Smash Bros. the one thing I see as a (big) flaw/drawback of his toolkit is that he would be SUPER floaty and easy to kill - He doesn't have much defense, but he's super powerful, super agile, and very diversely skilled. I don't see him as some crazy complex character and I think that's why he could easily make a picture perfect fit - He's familiar enough to a lot of other Smash characters, but unique enough to where he could still easily stand out among the cast.
Mallow: I think he'd be a full mage like Robin, except no sword. In particular, I could see him being the first character to heal (HP Rain) without it needing to be a drain (Unless we've had someone else who can just heal on command?). I think he'd be a pretty heavy character but still able to move pretty well (like, hard to move, but easy to use) - There's a lot he could do and he'd probably be a bit more far-fetched (read: not copying stuff) than Geno. Seeing that he'll probably be an assist, I think him coming out and using a bunch of his attacks at once would be great - Maybe crying.
Boshi: I'll humor
Zinith
some - He's passionate about a pretty cool character imho and I like talking Echo Fighters.
First, let's talk his personality. He's to Yoshi as what Wario is to Mario, so he fits the Echo dynamic on that end well - He has a soft spot, though, more than Wario. So, he's like Yoshi with a bit of a spunk attitude. How do we implement that in his moveset without making any actual big changes?
-His Smash attacks and others would just have more attitude in animation. we don't know Yoshi's final smash in this game.
-For his specials, I could mainly see him being a faster, but weaker Yoshi. I also see him running out of stamina, so all his speed can't just be in one go
-Given that all final smashes are being streamlined, I could see Yoshi's being more different - For Boshi's, it'd probably have a horde of Yoshi's persuaded by cookies, similar to the opening of Melee. If Yoshi were to get this as a final smash, Boshi would have more Boshi's on the screen and possibly a Croco cameo
So... A bit more changes than the typical Echo, but if you were to trim it down some: He runs faster, is less strong (or some mechanic closer to Lucina's; can't quite think of what that'd be), animation quirks, and that's it.
Now, really, only Geno has any shot in hell, but it's a nice topic to discuss. If someone else has played a game recently and wants to talk about those characters in Smash, I'd LOVE to hear from them! (Even if I'm unfamiliar with the game - If it's a Nintendo game though, we can talk characters)
