The farer of Spirits, Stella

[fogbadge]

You know what a game with this many spirits needs? a spiritfarer! Stella the main character from spiritfarer

so who is stealla and what is spirit farer. well it is a life sim indie where you play as stella a young girl who takes over the role of spiritfarer, along with her cat daffodil, from the mythological charon. given the task of finding stray spirits across the ocean and carrying them on her boat and looking after them until they are ready to move on to the afterlife. you can gather items, explore a vast ocean world, meet fantastic characters and build your ship to included all manner of facilities from a garden to a foundry.

what can she do? well stella wields the everlight, which is described as every tool youll ever need. basically its a ball of light that can take on many forms from a watering can to a pickaxe. she can mine, harvest, construct even catch lightning in a bottle. she would probably be a little similar to the villager. the everlight would take on all manner of forms to fight with.

ok so shes probably a little new to make it in but there's no harm in having a place to talk about the game and the merits of an inclusion in smash

I'm aware of how beautiful this game is. Stella has a neat light pirate theme and could probably have some interesting Natural B specials.

I support.

I can see Stella's moveset being similar to Mii Brawler. It's just a thought. I see Stella have those Mii Brawler kicks and forward A Smash.

She isn't a typical pirate. She has a strong pirate aesthetic and the purpose of her game is basically a variant of it.

The (also sakuna the i was playing before this) was hard to interpret, so I assumed you meant Sakurai played this game.
