@SKTTR I'm curious, what's wrong with Crash / Spyro / Sora? Both Crash and Spyro have had every single entry on Nintendo hardware, including multiple exclusives, while Kingdom Hearts does have a number of Nintendo exclusives as well. Like yeah, there's an old marketing association between Crash and Sony from the PS1 era but like, that's ancient history now. Master Chief I get, there's literally no connection there. Not even Cloud / Joker's 'well technically...' sort of connection. But other those reps you mentioned aren't at that level.
@BabyYoshi12 Yoshi is one of the core 8 characters, alongside Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, Samus, Fox, Kirby, and Link. They're the original available characters and have been in every game.
I've been thinking about a possible moveset for Rex. From what I've read on a number of fora, most seem to think he'd be able to switch blades with each blade giving him a different set of moves.
While that's a neat idea, it'd basically turn him into a cross between Pokémon Trainer and Shulk, which I don't think is unique enough for Mr. Sakurai. He seems to go out of his way to make each DLC fighter as unique as possible and as close to their original gameplay as possible. Terry and Min Min are perfect examples of this.
The core mechanic of combat in Xenoblade 2 isn't so much the switching of blades, although it's a big factor as well, it's the rhythm and combos that drive the combat. Standard attacks drive arts, which in turn drive specials. Therefore I believe it would be much more interesting to see Rex reflect those mechanics in SSBU instead of blade switching. It'd go something like this:
Rex only has 1 blade: Pyra.
The blade constantly follows the driver but can't be injured like the Ice Climbers.
The closer the blade is in proximity to the driver, the more damage his normal and smash attacks do.
Rex has 2 gauges which gradually fill up.
The first gauge (Arts Gauge) gets filled through normal and smash attacks and has 3 levels. Each increasing level makes his Special Attacks more powerful. Use a special attack and 1 level of the gauge gets depleted. Even at level 0, Rex is still able to perform specials but they're very weak.
The second gauge (Special Gauge) gets filled using his tilt special attacks and this too has 3 levels. Each of these levels increase the power of his Neutral Special which uses the whole gauge no matter which level it is.
Now, as for his tilt Specials, these are all based on his Arts from XC2 while using the Aegis Sword. If you've played XC2 you'll know how these would look in SSBU.
Side Special: Anchor Shot
Up Special: Double Spinning Edge
Down Special: Rolling Smash
Neutral Special is based on Pyra's Special Attacks (Flame Nova, Prominence Revolt and Blazing End) though highly modified to fit into Smash: Pyra swoops in to perform one of 3 different attacks depending on which level the Special Gauge is. The higher its level, the stronger and far reaching the attack is. You need to be aware of Pyra's location when you use this attack.
Final Smash is based on Pyra's level 4 Special attack Burning Sword.
I believe a gameplay style like this truly represents Rex like he behaves in XC2, much better at least than he would with exchangeable blades. It'd encourage the player to mix things up and it has a great risk/reward playstyle which is always fun for veterans of Smash.
Edit: I forgot to mention his stage. I think it'd be cool if it were based on the Leftherian Archipelago. Imagine a scrolling stage in which platforms bring you from one island to the next, including Fonsett Village.
Anyway, whatever Mr. Sakurai decides to do with Rex, I'm sure it'll be great. If he makes it into Smash in the first place that is.
Goodness, I really hope he does!
Hey guys can I get tips on how to get better i'm not knew to this game at all its just my main inlkling gsp is only like 3,000 and something I suck at reading my opponents I win every now and then my highest gsp is banjo and kazooie with about 6,000 but I keep losing with him any tips with these two would be great.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!
(My friend code is SW-7322-1645-6323, please ask me before you use it)
@Snatcher
The most general tip I can give you is learn to use shield, roll, air dodge and grab. Many newcomers forget to do these and spam specials and smash attacks all the time.
However, it's very difficult to give someone tips if you don't know their playstyle and what they're doing right or wrong. All I can say is try watching some vids on YT, there's plenty of them and they helped me quite a lot.
@Snatcher
Look buddy, no offense, but if your highest GSP is 6000 you clearly have a lot of basic training to do. If you were to properly shield and dodge your GSP would be much higher. Try to focus on basic things before worrying yourself over pro techniques like wave landing, dodge dancing, shield cancels and short hops.
@Snatcher Well, you can learn high-level maneuvers like short hopping, anti-air, dodge dancing, parrying, etc. Stuff you should be able to find on Youtube or from any free guides online made by others.
Outside of that, you can also learn set-ups and combos unique to the character(s) you main regularly. You should also understand what advantages and disadvantages your mains carry in order to understand how they match-up against other characters and their playstyles.
For example, I've been maining Inkling recently. I understand she's good at trapping people with her Side-B Paint Roller special that grounds people for easy smash attacks, and her Down-B Splat Bomb that can catch people off guard when used appropriately.
I use her Splat Bomb a lot and it can force my opponent to react in forced situations that I can take advantage of, depending on how I set it up. For example, if they choose to shield my Splat Bomb, I could run up to them and grab them before it explodes for easy damage. If they're trying to recover back to the platforms from below the stage, I could time my Splat Bomb so it explodes on my opponent and launches them further away, unable to recover. Or, it might force them to take a specific path in order to recover, make them easy to read and giving you a chance to attack.
However, these tactics won't work against all characters. Characters with great recovery or multiple jumps (e.g. Pirahna Plant, Metaknight, Jigglypuff) have no trouble recovering, making my Splat Bomb tactic difficult to use. It's important for you to switch tactics and playstyles against these stronger match-ups to give youself a better chance to win. Something you can learn either from fighting more and more, or watching Tournament matches online with players who use your Main.
Keep in mind, I'm mainly a Casual player, so I'm not the best mentor. But my Inkling GSP ranges between 6,000,000-7,000,000, so I must be doing something right.
Marth since Melee
Dr Mario since Melee
King DeDeDe since Brawl
Duckhunt Duo since WiiU
Samus since Ultimate
Those are my top 5 best chars with Marth being my best fighter. Since Ultimate I am kicking absolute butt with Samus.
Fun to play I also enjoy Banjo&Kazooie and Inklink a lot!
