I know, that's what I dont like about it. It's usually not an issue because we dont have as many. (except for a few times)
Spoiler tag beats a raw link though, because at least you don't have to load up another page.Some of the time it could be better to just post an image and have a raw link instead of the the twitter post.
Or even put things in spoiler tags. It has less impact like that tho
全然間に合ってないけどドラクエの日おめでとうございました！！

That's no doubt. Not just more japanese art, but then we'd actually see more in general too
I'm sure we will, we are guaranteed DQ content during the next month. I'm curious to see what will happen on the 10th of June. And of course, hoping we see our boy.That's no doubt. Not just more japanese art, but then we'd actually see more in general too
So, since we didn't hear any news about the DQ collection, i think that'd be a nice announcement for e3.
ahem, and girl
To be honest at this point, even if it doesn't happen, I'm still happy since this is the year where DQ became much more prevalent here in the west. It's a great start.ahem, and girl
But yeah I'm pretty sure there's bound to be dragon quest stuff. I just hope we dont get too excited from it and think it means something for the smash news, but .. of course it's good for it too XD
I dont know. besides the nintendo direct that had DQ11S, there hasn't been much more yet. At least wait to see what e3 has in store
That picture is awesome!!! Where did you find these?
This. Our boy/girl in Smash is secondary to me to the joy of having the definitive edition of DQXI on Switch. And hopefully more slurprises.
Kingdom Hearts in Smash has slowly grown on me throughout this year, so it's a shame to hear Sora is not in Smash in any regard.
Near as I can tell, it's only tweets that do it, not straight images.
Baby boy. Baby.
I mean I like to meme about it but I dont outright hate sora fans. I'm friends with them after all, plus in all seriousness everyone wants who they want. So just let them like what they like.
Twitter my guy. It's all Twitter.
I have a pretty good feeling I know who it is.
If you didn't have a battletoad in your sig, I'd thought of 'slurprises' only as a typo. I'm guessing it's still a typo XD
It’s a DQ thread! I thought the pun was pretty obvious referencing Slime. .D
oh right. For some reason I never look at slimes as slurpers, even if ive seen that around.
Duh engrish is real
That is a really cool cover.So, I decided for fun to look for erdrick art in japanese, and I noticed that when I used Roto (ロト) I didnt actually get a lot of results for erdrick. In fact I mostly got emblems and armor. I think it's possible that maybe they aren't referred to roto as often as we thought?
When I searched for Yuusha (勇者), even without putting dragon quest in I got results with erdrick, lol.
I wonder if this means that the character really could end up being called Yuusha/Hero.
Also, even though this was for some channel, I liked seeing a female version of the ol' art:
View attachment 224804
Here's something extra, that was official. not sure what it is tho:
![]()
I say make it like typically holding a shield in real life. So that should be parallel.Slightly off-topic, but does anyone have any references for Erdrick's shield? Specifically, I wanna know if the handle on the back is parallel to its sides or perpendicular to them.
On the Famicom art, it's parallel, as Erdrick is holding it in his hand. On the SNES art, specifically female Erdrick's art, she's wearing the shield on her arm.
The perpendicular handle seems to be the most common. It's also in his Battle Road Victory design.
From what I can tell, the upcoming figure seems to have some kinda mechanism to alter the handle's position. It's parallel on one photo, but perpendicular in another.
I'll include all the pictures I'm referencing in a spoiler tag, since there's a lot.
The reason I ask is because it's an important aspect to consider when designing his animations for Smash. How does he guard himself? How does he use the shield to attack? How does he free his shield when he has to free his left hand? The parallel handle feels like it'd lead to more natural animations overall, but the perpendicular handle would make switching between handle-grabbing hand and free hand more believable.![]()
Here, it's parallel. He's holding it in his hand.
Then again, he could be holding it sideways, as shown here.
![]()
(Man, I love this art.)
Female Erdrick's holding it in her arm here. The handle is perpendicular.
![]()
The perpendicular handle seems to be the standard from this point on...
![]()
except when it isn't.
![]()
What?
In Battle Road Victory, Erdrick wears the shield on his arm again.
![]()
Finally, we get to the figure, which to my understanding is the only official modern depiction of this character since BRV.
![]()
Excuse the oversized image. Parallel here...
![]()
and perpendicular here.
Cool concepts. The MP system is pretty similar to what I envisioned, actually.Erdrick Mechanics set - Leveling up and MP systems
In this post I'm going to talk about 2 possible mechanics that could work for a dragon quest hero. It's not a moveset, but instead a mechanics set. Both Leveling up and having Mana points could work entirely seperately, but I decided to put them together here.
MP:
Mana points are used by magical spells, and maybe even some other attacks (like in order to turn them into more powerful skills.)
In order to avoid players being passive by regenerating mana automatically, regaining mp happens on attacks that are landed. (Bonus: on level ups too)
Alternate: Fast automatic mp regeneration.
Level UP:
The hero character would gain exp in order to level up and gain boosts, at least on attacks as well as higher max mp. (speed and knockback possibly too?)
Smash has all kinds of matches (long and short), which means the mechanic has to be limited in some way in order to prevent a character from being overpowered on longer matches, and allow shorter matches to be balanced as well. This can be done by either a low level/strength cap, or resetting levels each stock, or losing 1 level when losing a stock along with a cap.
Gaining exp to level up would be on attacks landed, in addition to some other actions. so that even matches with short stock counts would allow to level up.
Stats
Lvl1(base):
example tilt-attack: 10% dmg
max mp: 10
lvl2: 12% dmg & 12 max mp.
lvl3: 14% dmg & 14 max mp.
(etc)
Magic
(example) Sizz using 2mp. Zap using 4 mp. etc
MP regen per hit: 2 or 3 mp depending on which attack. And no regen on magic attacks.
extra -> mana regained on level ups: 4-5 mp
EXP
exp needed to level up: 100 (lvl2) -> 150 (lvl3) -> 200 (lvl4) -> etc
(note: that's for if exp points get back to 0 on a level up. Else add 100)
Exp gained per attack or spell landed: 30 pts
on shield: 5 pts
on grab: 5 pts
on throw: 20 pts
on KO: 100 pts ?
on item pick-up: 5 pts ?
So, starting out, the hero would need about 4 normal hits for the first level up, but then that would increase by around 2 each time. (so getting to level 3 from lvl2 would take 5 or 6 clean hits). Other actions would give some exp too, but not as much as getting a clean hit or ko.
Everytime someone would get a normal hit, we could see either near it or near the hero's portrait how much exp and mp were gained, either with numbers or bars, or both.
It could feel like attacks in rpgs that give back some mp, as well as gaining something towards leveling up.
This is one way that the mechanics could work in smash, and there are a few ways to design it so that the character is balanced. I think my favorite is a combination of both a low enough level cap (anywhere between lvl 4 to 9), and losing a stock removing a level or 2. Resetting back to lvl 1 when losing a stock could be fine too if the character is designed with fast levelling in mind.
thanks for reading
It was I dad. I must see everyones creativity rofl.
I really like this. How about a level cap of like 10?Erdrick Mechanics set - Leveling up and MP systems

Ya 10 would be fine. I just figured 9 is simple, and like often in rpgs max level was 99, etc. But i think 10 sounds good too :D
Maybe a decent aesthetic idea to that, is have Erdricks weapons slowly change to show the lvl up. Like he starts with the cypress stick and max level is the sword of light. Or we could just keep it simple where the sword slowly glows with light and Erdrick gets a red aura like in that gif you sent me.
I dont think it would work to have a different weapon per level. But if they'd bother making equipment i think it'd be pretty dope to be able to switch manually
Eh it's fine, if anything itll be just like DQ8 where eight turned super saiyan once he reached lvl 100 tension Haha.I dont think it would work to have a different weapon per level. But if they'd bother making equipment i think it'd be pretty dope to be able to switch manually
And Yeah i guess that'd look cool if erdrick would glow a bit more with each level. Could feel more powerful, not quite like goku but people would have to feel a bit like that XD
Well tension's still possible too. That or Pep could be its own set of mechanics. Probably not going to write some myself, but the idea is there
Switching weapons would be a nice visual indication of his level, I think. At least, as long as it's restricted to swords. He could have the weakest sword at level one, represented by that one sword we see in his SNES art, and the Sword of Light at max level.I dont think it would work to have a different weapon per level. But if they'd bother making equipment i think it'd be pretty dope to be able to switch manually
And Yeah i guess that'd look cool if erdrick would glow a bit more with each level. Could feel more powerful, not quite like goku but people would have to feel a bit like that XD
I think that's a neat idea. Though personally I dont like those types of auto-attacks, I like when people can see it coming instead of just a timing anyway.
