You kid, but a pack of DQ characters might still have made people happier than Goku, Goku, Goku, Goku and Goku.Let's get Erdrick into Smash and Slime into Fighterz. Just imagine Broly getting decimated by a bunch of Slimes forming into a King Slime above his head.
Also, I'm gonna uhhhh plug some more of my art here if you don't mind.

I realized I never drew female Erdrick before, so I had to rectify that ASAP.
I forgot to reply to this one , but that's really good art, and you really have a defined style there.Let's get Erdrick into Smash and Slime into Fighterz. Just imagine Broly getting decimated by a bunch of Slimes forming into a King Slime above his head.

When I get the time, I should rework the template. He isn't here yet so this will be fun after my exams are completed. I had a blast making this.I dont think erdrick should play like link, but probably more like him than an FE character. I liked seeing the moveset because it shows he could have a lot of different weapons and attacks, but I dunno if i would give him a boomerang when he could have something much more different.
It's interesting to mix and match because we can see the mvoes that are already in smash, but yeah there's too much potential in making them unique . Like I also wouldn't give him fire breath for fire magic, and stuff like that, but it's still cool to easily visualize. Also, I think a whip could be interesting, tho i wouldnt put something like that for a f-air, personally.
Other than that, I think you did a pretty neat job with itNomadLuminary
I'm not sure how I feel about tension for now cuz i think it'd be really cool but at the same i might rather have another magic for down b. (tho the menu idea kinda fixes that maybe) Well, if ever i make a moveset i'll try to include it in another way, and I probably wont do the 'menu' thing, just to try something different, but anyway i like seeing the different ideas
You could keep that one as 1 template that uses moves in the game to display them easily.
I could make Erdrick into a complete Magiknight and less of an all-rounder then. Limit me with just his Sword, no shield.
I dunno I think it could be cool to have some shield stuff, even hits like palutena. (especially if it has super armor during the hit like her)
There are parry moves in Dragon Quest. Let's see what I can do if I just limit Erdricks spells to Zap, Healing and Kaclang. Keeping his traits to sword mastery and parrying/countering.
We have too many counterers already, I want something more original personally. And everyone can parry now
Oh I got it. How about monster taming from Dragon Quest 5, and the monsters franchise.We have too many counterers already, I want something more original personally. And everyone can parry now
Kaclang was an interesting idea tho. I wouldnt have thought of using it before someone brought it up.
Yup, well there's that leak rumor about slime being in one of the skills. So that's something.
I feel nowdays DQ parry and counter is more organic then FE system tho. I think they instead of turning it in a attack they could just add the fitting sound for a Block or Perfect Shield + Forward Smash. I see Erdrick been full of Classic Midi sounds for his actions.
I was thinking of the parry to be essentially, once it happens, the opponent gets stunned. Almost like a shield bash.
Ah , ff6. So good. My 2nd FF And usually tied 1st with ff7 for me personally.
Anything would have...
I wish we had outside DBZ Toriyama characters. Give us Crono or Shu from Blue Dragon
(throws a slime that looks happy to be thrown, and hits others on contact)
That's so good! I'm honestly not familiar with the fisticuff tree in Dragon Quest 8 nor the bow so I'm kind of surprised they were here. The back air reminds me of something out of villagers kit so I quite enjoy that. Is the Nair a circle similar to Clouds? If so that is interesting. Is the Blockenspiel similar to a parry? And also the bang jump is very interesting, I don't think anyone I know thought of that idea.While I was outside I thought up a moveset. Here it is
Attacks:
A: Jab or kick
AA: Shield hit
AAA: Bigger sword hit finisher after knocking someone with the shield hit.
A-rapid: Multi-fist (fisticuff)
Forward-tilt: Wind Sickles (fisticuff) -> Hands charge up to then launch a wave of arcing wind forward, having great range but not a lot of knock back (maybe just a small wind box along with the damage)
Down-tilt: Leg Sweep (staff/pole) -> Use a staff weapon to sweep forward on the ground. Has a chance to trip.
Up-Tilt: Sword/Axe swing going up OR Whip hit upwards like the belmonts.
Dash Attack: Running Elemental Slash -> An elementally charged up slash like a fire slash in DQHeroes, or other sword skill like Luminary in DQ11
Forward Smash: Gigaslash ->Huge lightning infused sword attack forward and towards the ground.
Up Smash: Shining Shot (bow) -> Shoots upwards with a shining arrow that hits upwards and then rains down around erdrick to hit all around.
Down Smash: Whip attack on both sides like the belmonts OR Boom -> Big explosion all around erdrick. Third idea is a strong mace hit back and forth.
Neutral-Aerial: Axes of Evil -> Swings and spins around an axe hitting back and forth, with an effect on it like in the games, providing a big hit box around.
Forward-Aerial: A good Sword strike like some of the sword characters.
Back-Aerial: Boomerang throw backwards (doesn't go too far, and only does a weak arm hit if boomerang is already out) OR Slime throw
Up-Aerial: Axe/Sword swing up OR Bang -> could act like Ivysaur's up-air to some degree.
Down-Aerial: Whip hit downwards or Bow shooting arrow downwards -> A bit like Megaman's down-air, but faster startup and no spiking hitbox.
Specials:
B: Sizzle -> Casts fire that moves forward in a wave motion close to the ground, and also sweeps backwards at some points. (Good as a setup, or making opponents go in the air) Powered up version stays longer if charged with tension.
Side-B: Zap -> Casts lightning that goes forwards and upwards. Is more powerful version and a longer arc if charged with tension.
Up-B: Bang jump -> Casts bang downwards, causing an explosion shooting erdrick upwards. Does not put in free-fall, but can't jump after it. (Can be useful to quickly go in the air after someone and following up, or shooting arrows downwards at someone on the ground, etc) More powerful blast and height with tension charge.
Down-B: Blockenspiel (shield) -> Both a blocking ability as well as an attack. Take reduced damage and no knockback, and attack at the same time (maybe with a small delay?) with the shield. OR Tension up which has a bit of startup (or Feel the burn, which would act like Incineroar's revenge in smash).
Grabs: Slime could come out as part of grab or some throws.
Final Smash: Gigagash. Super powered up version that hits a big and wide arc forward. Maybe even party members showing up and using MPathy to give mp to erdrick to use the powerful move, almost like a DBZ spirit bomb moment.

And that's it. what do you think?
You can use anything from it if you want, though I dont mind seeing completely different sets so dont get rid of your own, too
Oh I don't plan on that. More like fuse together.You can use anything from it if you want, though I dont mind seeing completely different sets so dont get rid of your own, too
Is fisticuffs kind of like a boxing thing or is it more martial arts. Also, I'm guessing the idea you were trying to emulate is similar to the Roy nair I was pitching on my template.I tried to use a little bit of everything in the series, to make the character super diverse
I always like fisticuff in the games, even if focusing on weapons is usually better for the end game. The nair spin could be like cloud, but my original idea was more an horizontal spin, so it would mostly hit front and back, but I like the wider spin too like youre thinking. What I like about the horizontal spin tho it's that it could spin more, kinda like bayonetta. And yeah I tried to come up with something different for up-b
It could be interesting if it was more like Erdrick takes half damage, reflects the other back and receives 0 knockbacks.
Fisticuffs just means fighting with fists. But in Dragon Quest it's unarmed skills. You can get a boost in strength to compensate for having no weapon but it starts to fall off when you get towards the end of the game.
I mean, just seeing the character designs and renders in game would(will?) be awesome ;p
I just want to see Toriyama do his take on Mario, Link, Cloud, and a few others.
It's such a shame that stopped happening. I guess there weren't as many opportunities for it this time, but that was one of my favourite things about the lead-up to Smash 4.
Nope. I’ve been waiting for the very same thing since the last DLC speculation days from Smash 4.
Honestly I'm curious on how he would do Joker. It's just something so outside of his style.
It's a good one, the only thing that I think is that Zap should got on Neutral B, as it's the Signature Spell for Hero Class and the one probably Kirby will copy.While I was outside I thought up a moveset. Here it is

And that's it. what do you think?
I get pissed enough when we get non-canon movie characters. Non-Dragon Ball characters? Gross. No.
Seems to be a reskin of Link, it looks quite nice.
Found this. It's a nice hypothetical model.
If it was detailed better, I wouldve said it was legit. Although I'm hoping the actual model (if he does get in), has a much more classic Toriyama face.
My belief is for two reasons. One to make the reveal that much more poignant, but also perhaps Erdrick is (as much as I disagree with the idea) not as significant of a deal compared to cloud.
