Krystal For Brawl
(^Really bad quality, ripped off of youtube, converted to avi, pulled pics off of avi in movie maker, then thrown into imageready)
These are compared mostly to Fox/Falco since both of them are the easiest to compare to as they are in the same games. Also I am not a very experienced player so some of the stars/ratings might be off. Forgive me. This is a very early version and expect changes to come.
Jump: ****
Krystal can't jump very high since she’s not a real physical type of person, but she is in shape and can hold her own as she was basically the same as Fox in Star Fox Adventures. Though in that game you can’t jump on command, her jump shouldn’t be very high but it would be a quick one rivaling Fox.
Size: ***
Krystal is a bit shorter than Falco and roughly the same height as Fox possibly taller as seen in the ending shot of Adventures.
Weight: **
Krystal is roughly the same size as Fox and most likely thinner as she has a thin build. So she would be an easy one to throw around.
Speed: ***
Her smaller build but physical fitness puts some quickness in her step. She can be quite a speedy one with changing directions and agility. But her running speed isn’t very fast.
Strength: ***
Krystal wouldn’t be one to have a lot of physical strength. She would obviously have less than both Falco and Fox. But since she has her staff and her strength is increased for most attacks.
Recovery: ****
Krystal has some decent jumps and a low weight. She will be thrown far but her jumps will let her get quite a distance back to the arena. And a hardened mind with some strength in her mind she can come out of a hard hit quicker.
Fall Speed: *** (Is it more stars for faster fall?)
Krystal’s light weight and fur lets her catch the air and lets her fall a bit slower than some others.
Comboability: ****
Krystal’s staff was all about combos in Adventures and though she won’t have full access to those in Brawl. She can still get some combos put together with her chained attacks.
KOability: **
Krystal isn’t one with a lot of strength to do some hard damage in one hit. So most of her attacks go to getting the opponents percentages up quicker and higher so her attacks will send them farther.

(Stretching because she’s hardly even getting a work out with how much she’s pwning)

Imitating the shield in adventures but instead of having the large dome around her there is just the bubble shield.
