Winged Characters = Floaty Chars? ex: Kirby

[OnyxVulpine]

I see it as.. Wings, small characters.. makes them lighter and a bit floaty.. Multiple flapping jumps on a heavy character would suck since it would get you almost no where but sideways.

How high you go up is determined by the thrust they designate each flap. So say if they made thrust 1 for Kirby in SSBM, they could increase the thrust you get from each flap. So if Kirbies thrust is 1, you could make a heavy characters thrust in each flap 5, and now he has a jump equal to Kirbies.


Sorry if that made no sense.

I get what your saying.. Like if Ridley was in the game, he has large wings so he would be able to lift himself up quite a bit.

Yeah, he's heavy so each of his wings could generate more thrust than Kirbies for identical results.

Micahc, very good point. But looking at the Body Types of Pit and Meta, they're not really round and squishy like, like Jiggs and Kirby are they? I'd expect them to be heavy characters with about 5 shorthops as jumps, and maybe a medium-efficiency recovery.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

So in terms of Pit, he isn't actually suppose to fly. But hes a small character... but his jumps aren't supposed to be so powerful.. Yet his jumps in the trailers do seem quite powerful.

From what we've seen I don't think Sakurai is created Pit based on the game(s) Pit has starred in. Personally, I've never played Kid Icarus, but from what I've heard and seen, I think Sakurai is giving Pit a whole new personality with his moveset, only time will tell. I just hope that "Wings Of Icarus" isn't as bad as I'm thinking it'll be.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

I never played that game, but when Pit came on the screen the first time I seen it. I knew he looked familiar and his named sounded familiar but I didn't know where he came from.

Some of his moves look **** awesome because I guess I just love dual swords.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

The way the dual swords are also his bow is REALLY neat as well. Ontop of that, you can curve and direct his arrows. From what we've seen, Pit and Metaknight have pretty cool moves, I can see myself maining one or both of them possibly. Like I said before, they're my favourite characters, which is why I have a personal signature with them in it, so I'm REALLY hoping Sakurai does a good job on them as characters and personalities.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Well hey, I'm going to test out all of the characters and see if I really like one. I just fell on Zelda one day and kept using her. One day me and you might be brawling it out for the top ^^

As bad? I'm really thinking if anything, it's the move that will make people hate Pit for a whole different reason. I think that it will make his recovery so good that people will call him cheap.... Thats just me of course

Pit FTW! I'll be maining as him (or at least trying too...)

I started playing Zelda because a friend of mine couldn't beat my Marth, so he resorted to using shiek, so I started using Zelda to show him up..... good times.

[off topic] I'm so desperately hoping that Brawl is Online, Since I don't have time to travel for trny's. I would love to Brawl with some of the bests.[/off topic]

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Actually when I think about it a bit more. I wanted to use a less used character with a different feel.. Then again I thought transforming to Sheik was a cool feature.. And her neutral b could reflect things.

I'd expect that to, and I wouldn't call ?the Jiggernaughts and Kirbies jumps "full jumps," they're all kinda small IMO...

if anyone has played kirby nightmare in dream land (great GBA game, tons of replay value BTW) there's a game where u can play thru the whole game as meta knight. in that he's just as light as kirby, and he can move much quicker. as to elevation, he flies with his wings instead of floating like kirby, and there u have to flap a lot faster. just putting the info out there.

 

[Elysium]

So maybe they will make it where you have to button mash to get the most outta meta's jumps..... or something like that. (I don't know never played the game...)
