    I get it, it's the same as Latios/Latias, but i would've taken them out instead.

    the Doomslayer, I'd assume, like Snake, that they wouldn't let him have realistic guns. Which means no shotgun.

    Still leaves the rocket launcher, plasma rifle and BFG. Maybe chainsaw?

    There's probably some stuff from the glory kills that could be used for melee attacks.

    Completely different idea: Attacks that summon sprites of the demons from Doom 1, kind of like Duck Hunt.

    Bayonetta has real guns.

    "real" "guns"

    They make explosions propel bullets at things, which bleed.

    Yes, they're fancy custom jobs and she enhances the bullets with her magic to make them stronger, but it's bullets.

    Hayabusa is just the most bog standard ninja dude I can think of and I want my Smash characters to be weird and exciting and he is just

    Ninja

    Hayabusa isn't just Ninja, he's The Ninja, specifically the most prominent ninja of two different console generations.

    Like how Ryu isn't dude who does martial arts, he's The dude that does martial arts or how Simon isn't the best Belmont, but he's still the most iconic Belmont.

    I guess we gave up on the spoiler tags

    Ninja Gaiden was a pretty landmark NES game so it should probably be represented, same thing with a Dragon Quest dude

    Shenmue guy would be better though

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Yeah

    But hes still a super bland ninja guy who does all the ninja things and dresses in all black and throws the shurikens and I've seen it 800 times

    We already have a cool ninja, he is a frog and he turns into a log sometimes

    I mean I get that he is from a classic game series

    But Ryu has a unique moveset and throws fireballs and shit

    And Simon has a magic whip and throws crosses and axes and yells about Dracula

    They are both iconic and interesting

    Ryu is the most boilerplate ninja in the world. If I asked someone off the street to describe a ninja they would describe Ryu Hayabusa

    I'm not saying hes a garbage pick and a waste of a slot or whatever

    Just that he is really boring

    I dunno

    You include his ninpo from either the NES games or the Xbox games and he has got some shit going on

    You could argue that Ninja Gaiden (200...3?) was one of the first really major Character Action Games, his moveset is expansive and a ton of fun

    Also: he is smoking hot

    I don't actually have a dog in this fight, I just wanted to say something inflammatory

    I wouldn't buy Hayabusa DLC but I also wouldn't buy any of the confirmed or rumored characters except for, of course,
    DOOM GUY

    Screen Rant released a supposed follow-up from the GBF Fighting Game/Joker leaker with additional DLC characters:
    Erdrick from Dragon Quest
    Minecraft Steve
    Ryu Hayabusa
    And Doom Guy

    With Minecraft Steve supposedly having Alex and Master Chief alt costumes, Doom Guy having a Doom 64 alt and Erdrick having Anlucia and Luminary alts.

    I am

    Skeptical

    But they were right before so who knows, Joker was fuckin out of nowhere
    Minecraft Steve seems likely-ish but the other two seem like real left fielders and not in a particularly exciting way

    ...which weirdly makes me believe it more....
    I would LOVE
    Doom Guy

    Hayabusa is boring as hell

    Nah
    Ryu could have a crazy moveset. Imagine crazy shit like his forward air being the diving falcon. Steve is boring as shit though.

    there should be two versions of Strider, one for NES and one for arcade, and the NES one just sucks ass and the arcade one rules

    So, we already have two Roys on the cast without issue. Could the roster carry two guys who had to be announced as "Ryu"?

    EDIT: You know what? Just roll with that idea for his whole Classic Mode. Call it "Double Dragons".

    Ryu vs. Ryu
    Ryu and Ryu vs. Roy and Roy
    Ryu and Ryu vs. Mario, Wario, and Olimar
    Ryu and Ryu vs. Peach and Pichu

    having played a lot more online (managed to claw my way to hanging around 2.5 million GSP instead of 2.1 million) I've reaffirmed my belief that the absolute most favorable matchup for Duck Hunt is King DDD.

    Like I think with ideal play on both sides the match is like 1:0 in duck hunt's favor. I'll go ever farther and say that I think with ideal play Dedede would not land a single hit on duck hunt.

    More pertinently, even without ideal play the match up is just grueling for Dedede. Dedede can't deal with Duck Hunt's projectiles and Duck Hunt is not scared of anything Dedede has.

    I'm trying to play him but he's got a bit of a curve to him. I'm mostly resorted to playing other people at work because my internet connection at home is pretty janky, but he's got a lot of good fake-outs you can use to just set your opponent off their game early and make them play out of their comfort zone, his edge guarding is okay and his recovery is okay.

    sterica you don't gotta apologize when you're the one doing all the work to set up the tournament.

    now playing inkling? that requires a formal apology letter.

    Lucario rules, I am bad in general though.

    Also I have no idea what to do with against Jigglypuff, since Lucario likes having a bit of damage to boost their aura but then one misstep and Jiggz sleeps you to the sky.

    I messed around with Lucario in Brawl a good amount and used it for WoL for a bit, but put it on the backburner in favor of Ridley in my stable of dabble characters. And it's steadily been growing on me just as a Pokemon over the years. Might pick them up again because having a quick character in my stable would probably be wise.

    Lucario is scary with Aura. Without the aura mechanic I doubt anyone would think much of them.

  • RadiusRadius Registered User regular
    I really like Lucario as a fighter because they've got that kind of Kung Fu style that no one else has.

    Aesthetically though it's a dumpster fire.

    He and ROB were my mains in Brawl, the last Smash game I owned

    I'm terrible at shielding, so his mechanic works really well for me

    Aesthetically, I don't get the hate. He looks fairly cool. I'm not a dog person, but I really like blue, so

    And I imagine he's popular, he's the only monster outside of maybe Lugia that gets promoted as much as the 151

    Like the year Pokemon did a Superbowl ad, it was all Kanto Pokemon plus Lucario
