Costumes don't get unique idle stances, taunts, win quotes, or in some cases, attacks and Final Smashes, among other things. Look at how vast the difference is between how Alph is seen and how, say, Richter is seen.
when is the same but has stronger specials with little to no downsides? The same would have applied to if one of their turnips was found to better than the other since they're also 99.9% the same. I'm glad to see that the turnip thing was just an oversight tho.Hard agree. Plus if they were echoes of characters from different series (like melee
) they obviously wouldn't work as costumes.
They have different voice clips, but the actual animations are the exact same. That's what matters. Costumes can't have different taunt animations since those affect hitboxes.
I honestly remember the animations being different.
Both Olimar and Alph have voices, but they're weirdly mute in Smash, like Isabelle.
Weird. That'd be perfect to change. No clue on why Isabelle's a silent knight, really.
Like, I figured maybe it was because Olimar, Alph, and Isabelle speak in digitized gibberish, but then again so do the Inklings and they speak in Smash.
I know it seems like a small thing, but Isabelle not speaking Animalese really disappointed me. I'm someone who is actually fine with the beast voices for Bowser, DK, Diddy, etc. but it feels like they gutted part of the Animal Crossing charm in Isabelle's smash appearance.
is the perfect example of the ideal clone/echo. He shares the same moveset and even the same animations as but has different properties and functions (hitstun on blaster, spike on Dair,etc.) as well as different attributes(better jumps at the cost of ground speed)
Even if you include characters like Mario, Ness, and the Ice Climbers, who look nothing like normal humans, this is factually incorrect, not an unpopular opinion.
Wanting to have more non-human fighters in the game is an opinion (not a fact).
It's more than 25%. That's not even an opinion.
The point I was making is that there are too many human characters like Marth and Ryu. Even if we agree that 37% of the roster is non-human, that's still only about a third of the roster.It's more than 25%. That's not even an opinion.
Even if you follow the absolute strictest definition of human, we'd have:
That's roughly 37% of the roster, and that's not even including clearly non-standard humanoids like Olimar and Mr. Game and Watch.
Ok, so what Non-human characters would you pick? Cuz other than Spryo or someother Pokémon I can't see anything else getting in Smash.
Somewhat realistic:
I think you and I have very different definitions of "realistic."
I think the problem is that something like Melee Falco still needed to be balanced versus the whole cast like a non-clone was. The roster has gotten so big that balancing a clone is basically like balancing a newcomer. This might also be why the team seems to focus on new animations more than changing numbers.Melee
It saves time and cost by using a pre made moveset but it's also distinct enough to play differently from the orginal without overshadowing it.
Sad but true. I just wished if wanted to change the numbers they would do it on more moves and in a meaningful way, rather than make them straight up better.
Marth and Lucina are fine. They just need one meaningful difference between them, not different properties to everything. I want a reason to use one or the other, ideally as a matter of preference.
The property difference between Marth and Lucina is the meaningful difference. It affects their follow ups, combos, and kill options. Marth can win insanely early if you can space with him correctly but his sour spot is like a wet noodle, whereas Lucina has a guaranteed hit every time.
Isn't that what I just said?
misread your post, but it sounded like you were suggesting that the sword property difference wasn't enough.
Yeah I'll take your word for it since I only lurk there when there's big news surrounding a character. I'm glad people are excited for their picks but alot of the behavior I'm seeing now is eerily similar to what happened in the lead up to last direct.
They're really only meant for discussion on a character and related topics. It's annoying to see someone argue "Isaac's thread has the most posts so therefore he's the most popular."
I've always thought their developers didn't want them to vocalize when they got hit and stuff.
God, ask and ye shall receive. Sakurai really is the gift that keeps giving. Never change Smash community
Do think Wings of Rebellion needs less frames of invincibility.
You mean the startup invincibility lasts for too long?
I think Arsene Counter (tetracard?) needs to be nerfed. It's too fast and too strong, I'd be happy if either got nerfed. It just doesn't feel fun when it's not even safe to attack a character that's already in an advantageous state (due to Arsene). I think Arsene is fine, I think the Rebel's Guard and Gauge is fine, but that counter is busted.
