The Official Krystal Thread ;)

It would be awful if Krystal had the staff and the adventures attire and pulled out a laser gun all of the sudden.

Awww I picked a bad day to stay offline for awhile. I seriously think that this thread is one of the touchiest on the board. (granted that the other threads don't get hentai posts) I think thats why we get the random posts like "I'd do krystal", because they can see that the thread reacts by complaining about it for a couple pages. Maybe my observations are wrong, but thats what it seems like.

On topic: I'm down with option three for the spirits. But I'm not set on anything, even the moveset that people assume is a given. Note that all because she *might* use the staff as her primary weapon, does not mean that it's her only means of attack. Take Link for example. His primary weapon is a sword, but his special include a bow, boomerang and bombs. Only one of his specials used his sword.

I'm not bashing anything, I just think that we should all stay open-minded when it comes to... just about everything in Brawl. I don't think that Sakurai will base her *whole* character off one game. It's just something to consider because I could see this thread being bombed by people complaining that her B moves aren't what we thought, or that everything isn't based off what we think it should be based off of.

true, however, the point of specualtion is to speculate

and I'm with VV on the laser gun comment

yes there's no rule that says she couldn't have elements from all the games as a brawl character. Its possible for Krystal to have her staff and a gun and grenades and magical/physic powers or any combination of the aforementioned items.

FS should be something where she summons dinosaurs and they wreak havoc on all the opponents. This might look mechanically, if you could imagine it, like if you combined Bowser's final Smash with Pit's.

or perhaps a better way to put it would be like the Excitabike AT expect longer, and with MUCH bigger summonables.

 

[vesperview]

That would be highly incoherent, if Link doesn't have items from OoT this time around because he only has TP items, why should they break that rule with Krystal and give her elements from all of her games? Plus Assault elements would get in the way of the Staff's moveset.

Oh I agree. All of the character threads are made for speculation, but since Krystal is been talked about so much, I don't want people to mistake speculation for fact. I also agree with pulling out a gun out of nowhere, but this is brawl and anything can happen.

Edit: This just came to me. When they revealed Zelda and Link with the new TP design, everyone assumed that since Zelda's character model was based off Twilight Princess, that she would get her rapier from the game. Which is another case of mixing speculation with fact....

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

I don't think that people naturally assumed the thing about zelda... it was brought up as an option, sure, but I don't think it was the dominant mentality

 

[LordNannyKnuckles]

I personally don't think that Sakurai should mix Krystal from Assualt and Krystal from Adventures, unless he gave her a whole new attire which was a reasonable mix between the two. Seeing a whole bunch of staff moves then a few gun ones implemented here and there (Or Vice-cersa) would seem awkward to myself, but I could see it working for other people. For it to work for a majority of people, I'm sure, Sakurai would have to find a pretty even mix of the two.

She could get the rapier as down b if Sheik doesn't return.

can't the staff shoot some sort of energy thingy-ma-jigs?

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

yeah... that's what most people assume her neutral B will be

 

[Titan05]

Nah, a blaster just seems really... out of place.
The staff has plenty of awesome moves.
If you do the pterodactyl idea it will be to reminiscent of Ridley and Charizard. The spirits seem like a good idea.

The sword Zelda uses in TP doesn't look like a Rapier to me. Rapiers remind me of Sabers, however, I just started fencing...

A sabre is made for Slashing, the rapier is made for thrusting

pretty much everything here is correct:

spirits= krystal's most unique option for a FS

staff= better than blaster for Krystal

Zelda's sword= straightsword... a rapier is thin and not sharpened for slashing. it is exclusively a stabing weapon (like what fencers use)

The rapier is sharpened and can slash, I think your talking about an epee

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

yeah... ignore me... I was confused but still.. zelda's sword was not a rapier... a rapier is FAR thinner

 

[vesperview]

Zelda's is a rapier

It's just like it.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Actually I think I know what kind of sword Zelda's might be but it will take a bit

 

[Titan05]

Phew, at least I'm not the only one who didn't think it was a Rapier. Playing Soul Calibur teaches you something about weapons...

Anyways, Krystal's Staff shot fireballs in SF:DP, which can easily replace a silly little blaster.

 

[vesperview]

But it shouldn't be replaced with a silly little blaster lol.

Misread your post, yeah it should replace the blaster.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

actually... zelda's sword looks a lot like my favourite sword of all time: the Jian. except Jians are chinese and zelda is of mideival mythology so it would have to be a european equivalent

 

[Titan05]

Zelda's is a rapier

It's just like it.

Zelda's Sword actually looked like:

Notice that the guard isn't covering the entire hand but rather creates a t shape.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

actually... zelda's sword looks a lot like my favourite sword of all time: the Jian. except Jians are chinese and zelda is of mideival mythology so it would have to be a european equivalent

It doesn't look anything like a Jian

It looks closer to the European Zweihander if anything and that's not the sword I was looking for

 

[vesperview]

Is the same sword in the Zelda picture the same sword she uses in the final battle of the game when she is possessed by Ganon?

 

[Procrasticritter]

yeah, actually the staff has a really great moveset built into it, so there would be no need for a gun.

staff also makes for some great combos (i.e Kilik in Soul Calibur)

I would hope Krystal could have some combos that look like that =)

haha, yeah Kilik ftw!

And aren't we all glad we have something else to discuss rather than Krystals attire?

"Mission Accomplished"

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

yeah I see the zweihander there... I mean it's modified to look more fitting of a princess but it looks closer to a Zweihander than anything else. (except that zweihanders are bigger and heavier... two-handed right?)

I guess I was just omparing it to the Jian in bredth and length



... so basically, in conclusion, Krystal will be wearing a loincloth and bikini top for brawl

 

[crotch protector]

it looks like a good old fashioned European longsword doesn't it?

or is that a bit fat?

ummmm........krystal, or something.......

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

it looks like a good old fashioned European longsword doesn't it?

same basic shape but the size is WAY off

 

[vesperview]

I think I'm going to avoid coming to the Krystal thread from now on, seriously. DISTURBING!

 

[Elysium]

Just ignore it vesper.

Anyway we have a little while until the update. Whose guessing Krystal for Tuesday?

 

[vesperview]

They used to update characters on tuesdays or wednesdays, I'm really hoping for a newcomer today to be either one of the three characters in my sig after Ness, thus Krystal is included.

 

[Elysium]

I hope so too. But I fear we might have to wait for more vets to come first, though I could be wrong. Rumor has it that either Luigi or Falcon will be announced first, but a Krystal update wouldn't hurt anymore. lol

 

[vesperview]

Come to think of it, there hasn't been a veteran update in months I think, wasn't Peach the last one?

 

[kaid]

Krystal in tanktop and Vest, plus shorts. The Tomb Raider look goes well with the staff, while still being semi-modern AND showing off her feminity.

 

[Elysium]

Yeah something like that, but we'll see. I would much rather want to see a newcomer for the update, not a vet. But thats just me

 

[kaid]

Like this, but with a staff.

 

[vesperview]

Your picture file is missing its extension and is not seenable.

 

[kaid]

Is it fixed now?

 

[Elysium]

Alright, Lame update....Maybe tomorrow

 

[roy_owns]

I'm very disappointed they could of given us something else like... ZELDA'S SPECIAL MOVES!
