His game was literally called Dr. Mario. It's very similar to Tetris, but it has its own gimmick based around viruses and such that sets it apart. I always liked DM more than Tetris coming up.
That said, there are other characters who 'starred in their own game' so to speak who didn't get unique logos. Toon and Young Link being easy examples.
Another is Diddy Kong. Ness and Lucas.
He shares his logo with the rest of the Mario fighters.
Actually, he's probably just Mario in one of his hobbies like being a professional golfer or tennis player. He could be an alternate Mario I guess, but it wouldn't be the first time he managed something with much less practice than something like that would actually take.
He's different. In one of his Smash descriptions it even made note of why he was slower due to going to medical school and such. It's not just Mario in weighted clothes, it's a Mario with a different life / path.
Pretty sure it was joke about his supposed PhD weighing him down. Normal Mario could simply leave it at home and not carry the excessively heavy document around with him.
i guess so, i haven't really been hearing about the buffer system either. Just going off of acouple months ago
I highly recommend looking into things such at attack cancelling, pivot cancels, RC Grab Boosts, tilt NAir turnarounds.. etc. It's all invaluable stuff that goes a long way in gameplay, even in less serious play simply learning it will give you a better understanding of Ult's complex buffer system and could make you feel more comfortable with it.
Definitely gonna research them in depth more. I've most definitely pulled all of these things off but don't know the actual meaning of em and would know what they were. Especially the buffer window in ult.
I'll DM you if you have anymore questions as to not derail the thread.
The complaints about GSP have nothing to do with that. It doesn't work like the system is clearly intended to, and even the way it way intended to work is pretty screwed. GSP is in no way a measure of skill.. or ANYTHING really, and that's a problem. It's a literal arbitrary number in a pool of arbitrary numbers, even the Ult matchmaking system doesn't give a hoot about it because it'll pair players with wildly varying GSP rankings in matches. That's not even getting into the problems people tend to have at lower GSP (2.5M or less) with rulesets and such, people cheesing for it, the general culture GSP is causing around how people play Elite Smash, the lag.. quickplay and ES are inexcusably abysmal. GSP is but one of many causes. This is the ONLY way to play quick matches of any kind, any there's no designation between casual or competitive play. It's a total mess.
Ken and Ryu both I have a lot of issues with, but Ken in particular is by far the more insulting of the two. He feels like one of the laziest echo's we've ever gotten, such small things could've gone a long way to make him feel less.. atrocious.
Yes. That feeds into the lack of consistency. They may have just called him one to justify his inclusion as the first.
Whatever the reason, Ken just doesn't feel like an Echo Fighter if his overall mobility is better than that of Ryu's. And if both fighters have no differences in their attacks, then that basically makes using Ryu pointless.
Ken's Up B is totally useless compared to Ryu's.
The Control Stick combinations alone are pretty much why I never bothered to purchase Ryu for Smash 3DS / Wii U.
The only one with any real differences I know of is the neutral B one as I'm not super familiar with them, but the way they're set up with their combo game and such.. it's just clear it was intended to use them with the arcade stick / d-pad move layouts. It makes me mess up with them a lot, as does the weird always facing the opponent decision.
Sakurai played SF when he was younger. He may be a bit biased.
Yeah but he set out to make Smash vastly different from traditional fighters when he was cooking the game up over two decades ago.. and greatly succeeded, so why he'd try to shoehorn something of that vein into Smash on down the line is really bizarre.
