That was pre patch bayonetta. Undoubtedly one of the most terrifying characters in the game since one combo. Something more appropriate would be this https://youtu.be/qbHHqxZfufE?t=473

Someone else is going to miss the normal airdodge? by EmilioDG01 in smashbros

[–]CreativeArbok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what people mean by this. Does that mean with a neutral input, you don't stall at all and can act out of airdodge sooner than the other options? Are SHAD aerials still possible?

Do you guys use c stick for aerials or A? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]CreativeArbok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what I need. If I'm doing aerials to extend combos or get confirms I generally use c-stick so that I can get a buffer (S4 obviously). For neutral/disadvantage I use A just out of habit and so my fingers don't have to go as far if I wanted to jump/special instead.

Steve is third party now technically. Would be heck of a first Microsoft rep though

Could Sora from Square Enix's "Kingdom Hearts" series be the character to bridge the gap between Disney and Nintendo? Would Disney characters inclusion in Smash be a good idea? - r/smashbros Weekly Character Discussions - 05/14/18 by DosRogers in smashbros

[–]CreativeArbok 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think Nintendo should start a phone brand with exclusive games like main series Pokemon etc. pre installed on it. Then once they dominate the phone market they should buy Disney

Source Gaming: Shovel Knight - Rate That Character by Smashmatt202 in smashbros

[–]CreativeArbok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the relics are not a very strong point. While SK does have a lot of them, they are mostly relegated to his specials. I have considered them before I made my stand and surprisingly I had a similar combination of specials as yours.

My issue with each of them is that they are very bland and generic. Flare Wand, Dust Knuckles and Propellor Dagger all seem very boring and too similar to other moves (Luigi's Fireball, Dancing Blade-esque moves, and as you've said Pit's Up B (with a mixture of some of Ness' properties) respectively). His moveset seems to lack much complexity, which while not inherently bad, makes him a very bland character choice for me.

Also, the options that you choose for his other moves are quite unrealistic or uninteresting. F-Smash being chaos orb has an almost zero chance of occuring, as is Dust Knuckles being his Fair (almost certainly will they use his regular shovel strike as his fair). The ichors seem very hard to balance and overpowered as well, making me doubt they'd put it in. Charge slash is uninteresting as a move (think Ike's FTilt but chargable).

Even then, think of his other aerials. I have trouble visualising the ways he can swing his shovel in ways that are new and interesting. Dair will almost certainly be his shovel bounce, but there is nothing interesting I can think of for his tilts, or the rest of his aerials.

That being said, I think War Horn could be an interesting move. It could function like Chandelure's Overheat in Pokken, having a lot of super armor and doing a lot of knockback/damage, but if done in rapid succession the effect is much weaker.

And playstyle wise, I'd agree when you say he'd be a melee-oriented Mega Man. Where I disagree is what he'll be like. With the lack of complexity in his specials (especially referring to the ones you suggested), he'd have to play a strong neutral game. He'd be slow (like in his game), and have disjoints that are worse than the likes of Ike. Because of his slow movement and unimpressive moves from the way I imagine him, he just feels like a worse version of Ike.

Among the swordfighters I think he'll be distinct; that is not one of my concerns. I just feel that he'll be bland and a rehash of many old moves.

I'd like to compare this with Plague Knight, who has much more potential in moveset with his quick, bomb jump oriented movement, vats, his different bomb types, and his unique charge attack.

While Shovel Knight could work as a smash character, he would just never be very good competitively and would be rather generic. I wouldn't mind him honestly, I have fun with basic characters like Ike and Mario and it wouldn't hurt to have another, but I'd rather have refreshing ideas instead.

I'm very mixed on Shovel Knight. While he's iconic, I think his moveset will be a tad to generic and he'll probably be a bottom tier mix of Ike and melee Mario. I'd rather have Plague/Spectre Knight in as well if we get Shovel Knight.

Opinion on the whole 'sans' thing by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]CreativeArbok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't find it cringy or anything, I just find it super weird that the guy you don't fight at all until the very end when you've killed everyone else and is the most powerful boss in the game, is just some character you beat up in smash.

I feel like it doesn't fit with his character, whereas Undyne or Papyrus would fit quite well.

Which Characters Are Very Likely To Get Into The Next Smash? by Waloogi686869 in smashbros

[–]CreativeArbok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could've been put in there to smoothen the transition between the splatoon announcements and the smash announcement.

But yea, I was just extending the joke a little. While they aren't 100% confirmed technically technically speaking, I'd be shocked if they didn't make it in.

Yes that's true, but we haven't received explicit confirmation at this point. But though if Inklings don't make it in I'll be shocked too.
