    Classic Wario specifically

      Wario is probably the only one that gives OP a run for his money. Smash Wario isn't a good representation of ANY version of Wario, classic or Wario Ware. I don't know WHAT he's supposed to be other than just LE FUNNY FART MAN. For Classic representation you could give him shoulder charge, his various hats from the OG Wario Land game, and his various powers/outfits from the later titles. Or, if they wanted to give him Warioware representation, he could pull random shit from his Microgames. Current Smash Wario is just weird, and not in a good way

        Wario actually does have his shoulder charge in Brawl and Ultimate. Smash 4 is the game where it's missing, because Sakurai genuinely didn't realize it was his single-most iconic attack and decided it wasn't a good fit for his forward smash, and replaced it with a generic punch in 4 without putting it anywhere else in his moveset.

        >Current Smash Wario is just weird, and not in a good way
        Current Wario is Wario World Wario with a dash of "Weird Mario" and he has some stuff from other material(Bike from Ware, Waft from Warioland Manuals). Some of his World stuff overlaps his Land stuff like the Shoulder Charge(his dash attack) and his Ground Pound(Down Throw).
        His representation isn't all that great, but it is better than any fan game take has been.
        Project M taking away the Bike and going full Land purist is garbage. Represent both Ware and Land or don't bother changing Wario at all.

          I think they needed more grappling shit. Throwing is Wario's main thing besides the charge and grabbing/eating shit with his mouth is both bizarre and not even a Ware thing.

        Which is nuts, when you consider that Wario has eight platformer games and ten WareWare games. That's a character with 18 games to their name, far more than most playable characters in Smash's roster has, and yet barely anything from those games got referenced in Smash Bros.

        I’d argue Pac-Man has it worse than Sonic, as he at least has his core ability across all the 3D games: The Homing Attack.

        I'm not even mad about the actual character, they made the correct choice design wise
        (Remember, we could have gotten the ghostly adventures abomination) and managed to craft a lot of quirky classic Namco references in his moveset while still making him feel like Pac-man.

        The actual thing that bothers me Is the representation of the IP itself, literally everything else is underwhelming, Zero music tracks from games like the Pac-man world series and the championship edition series (seriously, how could Tekken get the techno bops but not Pac-man?), And of course, the biggest offender: Fricking Pac-Land, like, why? And Even worse that they decided to port THAT one to Ultimate instead of the far more superior and Iconic Pac-Maze.

        Many things about how they decided to represent Pac-Man bother me, but the stage choice was just incomprehensibly baffling

      Surprised nobody has brought up how most of Pac-Man’s music isn’t even from his own series. Only like, 3 tracks and two are basic remixes of the arcade start jingle, the other is the only Pac-Mania song in the game.

      Nothing from World, Arrangement, Roll, Not even anything from Championship Edition.

      3 consecutive games, still no signs of another sonic rep. Let alone the remixes...

      Sonic still somehow feels rushed after so many years

      >Years of Ridley being too big for smash
      Let's be real. He just didn't want to do it for some weird reason, or Nintendo wasn't pushing hard enough for them. So he came up with a bold faced lie that I'm fricking shocked no one has called out in interviews.
      >Sonic's moveset
      This still pisses me off to this day. Three games later and we're STILL left with this shitty, uninteresting moveset. There's so much to fricking pull from and yet he does nothing. Why? Do they need Sega's approval? What's the reason? Does he genuinely believe it's good?
      >Fire Emblem
      Probably the worst offender of all. Nintendo wants to push it. Fine. Frick it. They want their sales. But swords users... So many. And they're not even super diverse. You have this franchise with many weapons and classes and they just go for the genetic lords, no real fan favorites, just selling their souls out to appease Nintendo for a quick buck. I still remember all the outcry from the Corrine trailer. I'm surprised there weren't death threats or something. But this aspect of Smash is forever sour in my mind.

      He's so lame now, he only fights Kirby due to brainwashing and every other time they fight is pure non-canon fanservice with no reasoning behind it, otherwise he's solely just another of Kirby's allies. Fricking sucks what they've done to him.

    Surprised nobody has brought up how most of Pac-Man’s music isn’t even from his own series. Only like, 3 tracks and two are basic remixes of the arcade start jingle, the other is the only Pac-Mania song in the game.

    I always see people cry about Pac-Man's moveset, but it honestly makes more sense for him to be representative of his arcade roots than to pull a bunch of moves from a couple platformers that released over twenty years ago. Arcade-centric maze gameplay is the default Pac-Man experience, after all.
    That said, I do think they should have at least given him the butt bounce since I could see it being fun to use, at least more than the fire hydrant which feels like a random inclusion even if you have played Pac-Land.

    • 10 months ago

      I still don’t like how much of an excessive zoner Smash made him. The Hydrant also plays into that playstyle. If anything he should have been a close quarters combat character with a focus on a “hit and run” mentality.

      It mirrors the gameplay loop and rhythm of his arcade games far better.

    the biggest problem with FE's representation is the first half of it is incredibly lazy (literally clones of clones) and by the time they realized this was an issue and started creating more diverse characters, they ran into the 1-2 punch of everyone already being sick of it and also them all being non-characters in the form of the stand-in avatar from whatever game came out that week. I don't want to give it too much shit for being blatant marketing since that goes back to melee and frankly applies to every character to some degree, but it just feels especially egregious with FE.
    And also the fact that they kept adding more clones as recently as Chrom in Ultimate. Why?

      You may have forgotten how many people were crying over Chrom not getting in during the Wii U days. Unlike the majority of FE, many were actually invested in Chrom getting in because Awakening was very popular at the time. It was an incredibly easy addition since 90% of the animations are reused. I think the model is even just a touched up version of the FS one. If the assets are available to quickly add one more, Sakurai seems to think it's better than adding nothing, see: Ganondorf in Melee.

          It's probably because Chrom placed pretty high in the poll that was held asking people about what characters they wanted to see make the playable roster in a Smash game the most. Paula and Kumatora might not have placed high enough for them to get any consideration.

        I actually do think it'd be nice if Fire Emblem got more music, especially if we got some more music from the Jugdral games. Fire Emblem is only really overrepresented in terms of playable characters, it could be argued that the series is actually underrepresented in terms of items and spirits.

          What items would they even have? Vulneraries? They already have a few health items. I guess something like the Devil Axe could be cool. Gives you 50% damage if you're unlucky. Or maybe the Fire Emblem itself. But these homies really are fricking over what is essentially a staple of Nintendo's history. It started out as an NES game and was popular in japan. It feels like an insult to the series to just not take its reps seriously, and I'm not even a huge fan of it.

      Preferably none, but maybe throw the FE fans a bone and add Lyn. Give her some stance switching mechanic (attacks change properties depending on whether she fights with a sheathed blade or drawn blade). We'll probably get the guy from the newest FE game, whatever they are. Anna makes some sense as an "Evergreen" fighter, in that she can constantly get her appearance and moveset updated as new games come out, but as far as mechanics I'm not sure what she would or should do.

      From a design standpoint, there is a problem that his most prominent "move" or "playstyle" in Smash centers a round a fire hydrant. A fire hydrant is NOT something you think of when you think of Pac-Man, nor is it anything closely associated with the character by mainstream audiences. And to add to that, it's not a particularly fun mechanic, neither for Pac nor his opponent. I'm glad you enjoy the character, but it was a divisive way to design the character to say the least.

        The Fire Hydrant also makes him an inherent camper/zoner, even with the drawback that it can be used against him.

      >Banjo
      His kit is mostly an accurate representation of the games, but it’s clear that absolutely no thought went into how he would actually function in gameplay. The copy-pasted original moves (think fair and nair) are almost insulting in that they clearly don’t patch holes in the kit. You can’t create a character with cursed movement stats (bad air mobility is a death sentence) bundled with a kit that isn’t cohesive and expect it to be fun or effective.

      I pushed the character as far as I could, even learning giga-autistic stuff like breegull blaster cancels, and he’s still not satisfying or reliable. I’ll always be salty that we waited so long for something so bad (in terms of competitive gameplay). Banjo has more than enough moves to pull from to make a better kit too, so it genuinely seems like the devs had a surface level understanding of the series and wanted to force a surprisingly lazy gimmick on the kit.

        i am really not a fan of this "throw moves from [character]'s series of origin together in a moveset" that nu-smash has been doing alongside this fan moveset especially when they're just pulling out a lot of different items like kirby does
        reminded me of nasb movesets where everyone was just pulling shit out their ass for every move and it was really incohesive
        characters having generic punches and kicks that that suit them shouldn't be frowned on as much as they are but there should be a middle ground between the basic punches and kicks most pre-brawl movesets consist of and the "copy and paste moves from [character]'s series of origin" nu-smash does

    >In the event you exhaust every weapon use, you're granted a generic sword with unlimited use. Very weak, but still lets you be quick.

      Now they have a system they can use for other characters and make it easier to implement. This would also make it MORE reasonable to put in weapon specific users, like swordmasters like Rutger, Karla or whoever who are mainly represented with Killing Edges, or Axe wielders like Hector, or Lances like Ephraim.

          It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than what we have now, and encapsulates Fire Emblem's core gameplay: weapon limitations, strategy and chance. My only straw grasping was the rapier. I only put it in since it's a weapon usually donned by some lords, and is somewhat prevalent in the games. It has a higher crit chance, but it's not too strong, do the stance is what I came up with.

          • 10 months ago

            It's fricking awful and in no way better than what we already have. Marth has always bypassed weapon durability with Falchion having unlimited uses and his tipper mechanic already lends itself to strategic gameplay, utilizing both the strong and weak hits to set-up further hits or force an opponent's movement. He's one of the few with an aerial move that will change the direction he's facing, opening up more possibilities in combat. They got it right the first time and didn't need to rely on hamfisted references to the game. Shieldbreaker was already a Rapier equivalent, piercing a guard, and in Ultimate, allows a kind of critical hit with a headshot.

                Just admit your idea was shit. If there are FE fighters that don't represent FE well mechanically, it's the others. Lucina plays like a standard disjointed fighter, and Chrom and Roy are both braindead rushdown. Ike leans a bit more to making careful movements due to his low speed, but his high power kind of circumvents that. Robin is an obvious outlier due to having to manage uses and the switching between swords. Corrin is probably one of the closer ones due to the layered mechanics of the specials, Dragon Fang Shot has both a projectile and bite that can be charged independently, the pin can stick to walls and starts with a jump if performed on the ground, and follows with a kick or can be cancelled with another jump, etc. Byleth is perhaps on track as well with each weapon having distinct uses and requiring some planning in practice, and fulfills the meme of using more weapons like morons have been clamoring for.

                No one should be defending anything about Byleth. Beyond being a blatant shill pick and a silent protag they don't actually commit to any particular weapon, which means they don't have a playstyle that is meaningfully influenced by any of them.

                A lance user or axe user or bow user or even a mounted character would all have obvious strengths/weaknesses just from the weapon they use, someone who uses all of them without limit gets to ignore weapon characteristics when its convenient

                None of the things you mentioned would make for a meaningfully different playstyle.

                >An axe user wouldn't play any differently than say, Ike, already does
                What axes are we talking about? Big fighter/warrior Axes? The two smaller axes Pirates carry? Hector, Edelgard, FeH Anna? Ike is already an outlier among swordfighters who fudges his attacks with fire pilllars, down-b counter, dash side-b, and a weapon toss. You could make him bare handed and his playstyle would be 80% the same since he just uses brute force for everything. Same with Corrin, since the sword isn't even a big deal for them either. Meanwhile, if you change the weapons for any of the 4 Marths you're basically making a new character.

                >nor would a Lance user play much differently than Marth
                There would be some crossover because Marth uses a fencing-inspired style, but lances are going to be much bigger than his sword. You don't have a character with a big weapon and big reach, then still have them be as fast/responsive as Marth or his clones. There's plenty of variation in possible implementations but you don't make a lance user be most dangerous at close range, and it would be strange if they didn't have weighty movement. They'd be more similar to the Belmonts, but without the projectile based playstyle.

                >Meanwhile, if you change the weapons for any of the 4 Marths you're basically making a new character.
                What exactly is this supposed to mean? Besides Marth's thrusting attacks, an axe would not change anything, and a lance could easily do everything the same. Roy and Chrom are practically already axes with their high power at close range. A Marth with a bit more range and slower attacks would not be a completely different playstyle.

                The third one for axes alone makes Kazuya a massive threat since he can attack through enemy disjoints, and the fourth one for lances introduces a stance to add to the pressure of an advantage state while forcing the enemy to use aerials against a grounded target.

                Axes aren't just 'wild swings with high power', the weapon dictates the moves available to the user (at least when they don't cheap out with magic or down-b counter).

                Marth is a character about dancing at close-midrange, trying to keep in that distance with grazing swipes and powerful thrusts. The only kind of axe moveset that would make sense with that kind of playstyle would be the pirates, with their two small hand-axes. Anything else would be significantly different.

      I'd rather have Megaman Zero representation honestly just because I fear Sakurai adding a character and making them as awful as the Belmonts to play with and against

        I really don’t like how Megaman plays in Smash and how they based it too much on the NES look, yeah Megaman is pretty faithful but I wish he had a weapon switching mechanic as a down b and make neutral whatever weapon is selected.

      Zero is an assist and there's a remix of Central Highway. I wouldn't expect more, tbh

      X is in PMEX Remix with Central Highway as a Stage and more MMX Music like the X3 Intro Stage and Lumine 2nd Phase

        He's implemented insanely well in Card Sagas Wars if you're interested in that game

    I hate gays that think that every smash character is supposed to reference every single move that they have in their games. The best characters in smash are the ones where they had to make up a moveset for them and the worst ones are the ones where they had to make every move they do some kind of reference.

      Funny you say that, because the best character in Ultimate is Steve and the worst is Ganondorf

        I'm always curious about these kinds of fangames, I like Super Smash Flash 2 even if I think the creator should be crucified for insisting on Shonen Jump characters

          Oh and also he should be crucified for the fricking garbage base roster of Fraymakers, there are more interesting choices in the assist lineup like Peppino than there are in the actual playable lineup

          Funny, I don't like Smash Flash 2 either. I could tolerate it before, but now it's just a cheap imitation of real Smash. Some characters like Mega Man used to have completely different movesets due to existing before the official one, but now he's largely been streamlined to be the same. This extends to things like the artstyle, which in gameplay, used to be a somewhat toon-y sprite art, but is now now just a sprite imitation of the official game. The CSS portraits in particular are just traces of official art instead of being their own thing. There's always been some degree of this like the menus and such aping Brawl, but it's hard to miss now.

            SSF2 has a lot I like and a lot I don't, funny you bring up Mega Man since I think they should have either gone all the way on bringing him in line with his official moveset or just kept their old one, I feel he's incredibly half-assed now.

            SSF2 at least doesn't have Crusade's problems where some characters are inexplicably very very well animated and the vast majority are amateur. Mario and Sonic have two taunts, barely anybody else does. Some characters like Toon Link have 3 frames in their idle animation and Sonic has 10+.

              In general, especially now, the movesets feel very uninspired. None of them come close to most of the newcomers from Wii U.

      How is Ashley and Ristar in Smash Crusade?

      • 10 months ago
        Anonymous

        Ashley I didn't try out of lack of interest for the character but Ristar is implemented almost oppressively boringly, down-special and neutral-special both do the same thing with a slightly different animation and up-special is launching himself from around an acrobatic pole, but you have no control over it for momentum's sake and he just flies off in a direction after spinning around once

          That’s a shame how Ristar somehow has similar down and neutral bs like a certain damn blue rodent

    Unironically, why the frick would you base him primarily off Pac-Land? I don't know a single person who likes Pac-Land, let alone who even has heard of Pac-Land.
    Should have taken more from Pac-Man World.

        They were so reluctant to even acknowledge World’s existence in the 2010’s, and all it did was further tank the brand after GA’s failure.

      Because while Sakurai does try to look at what a character's main games have been doing, he still largely goes off of his own memories with a character where he can, and he clearly did a lot of gaming in arcades in the early to mid 90s, so that's where he seems to think to look at first. Hence why most of Sonic's non spin attacks are pulled from Sonic Fighters while nothing is from Sonic Battle. I can only imagine that Pac-Land was his first primary exposure to Pac-Man and somehow that just strikes him as the most obvious thing to look at for 2D source material, and has possibly never even played the World games, especially since that series was long dead by the time of adding him to Smash Bros.

      I am kinda just talking out of my ass here, but I feel like it suddenly makes sense if it turns out most of his action game experience is from arcades while most of his non-arcade gaming time is spent on the genres you CAN'T get from arcades, JRPGs most of all.

      History autism. Pac-Land influenced Super Mario Bros.

    Sonic Lmao, his moveset is nothing but the spindash/homing attack in different flavors. And he gets Green Hill and Spherical Green Hill from fricking Lost world of all things.
    If another smash is ever made I hope Sakurai just steals his Frontier moveset and calls it a day. It's not great, but it's better.

    I haven't bought Sora yet but his trailer really appealed to my petrification fetish so I don't feel much hate towards him.
