My friend and I were talking about what LOZ characters we would add in Smash the other day and I want Sidon, Midna, and Twilight Princess Link that can change to wolf form.
I’ve always wanted Midna as a playable character, but they keep relegating her to assist trophy status :(((
I think Sidon or any Zora would be cool. It’s kind of strange that we don’t have any other Zelda races really represented in Smash besides Hylian (and Gerudo I guess). I’m really surprised we didn’t get any of the Champions at least as assist trophies…I guess we have to make do with their spirits
I’d be so down for one of the Links turning into the wolf too! If not that, then maybe he could show up for some of Midna’s attacks if she were to ever become playable
its a shame that the cast of zelda is huge, and theres tons of characters that have good potential as fighters, but weve been stuck with the same three characters since the second game, youd think theyd have added at least one new zelda character by now, with it being one of nintendos biggest names.. but were stuck with 3 links and 2 zeldas :(
Totally agreed
And Hyrule Warriors showed that you can give these characters really unique movesets as fighters. That’s why I’d really like a new Zelda rep as DLC that’s someone we haven’t seen before, but I think they’re going to go with really big names and/or characters from upcoming games (though I don’t know how much will come from the latter, since it seems like they decided who would be DLC a while ago)
What would you think about Toon Zelda and/or Tetra as a possible chance for DLC characters? I feel like Tetra could have some very unique, yet fun movesets and then Toon Zelda could have some moves that are from a combination of games like Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks.
I think it’s possible, more so for Tetra because they said they are developing new movesets for DLC characters and I think she would have more to pull from. They could give her some of her moves from Hyrule Warriors too.
My issue with either is I really don’t like having multiple versions of the same character. Like I love Link, but I’m kind of frustrated that there are three versions of him in this game. I think it would be better if they had different movesets from the default Link (Young Link using his masks would be really cool), but they’re pretty much the same aside from speed and weight. That’s why I don’t really want Toon Zelda or even Tetra since it’s still Zelda…I want a brand new character from the Zelda franchise like Impa. If I had to choose, though, I would definitely go with Tetra.
I don’t mind clone/similar characters in terms of movesets, but when they’re actually the same character (i.e. 3 Links) it makes me roll my eyes a little. I get why they have to be here because of the “Everyone is Here” theme, but it just makes me sad that half of the Zelda reps are just Link.
Hello! I was wondering are there any characters you would like to see for Smash Ultimate DLC?
Hello! That’s a tough question, because there really isn’t anyone that I really want to get in at this point…
I would definitely like to see a new Zelda rep. It pains me that we haven’t gotten one since Melee, and that we really only have Link, Zelda, and Ganon as characters. I think Impa would be a really good choice–I would love to see her Hyrule Warriors design and she could potentially use her big sword and naginata with elemental effects. I would have liked Skull Kid, but since he’s been relegated back to Assist Trophy status I’m not sure he has a chance anymore.
I would say Isaac as well because my brother is a huge Golden Sun fan and he really wanted Isaac to be a fighter…he was heartbroken when he was revealed as an AT again.
I do think it’s slightly possible for current AT to become playable fighters through DLC, but I’m not holding my breath for it. It seems like Chrom is still a part of Robin’s final smash and the Chrom Mii costume is still in the game, so if there can be multiple types of Chrom on the field why not a playable Isaac along with his AT? But again, I don’t think this is very likely to happen…
Other than that, I will be fine with any DLC as long as it makes people happy. I’d love to get characters that seem impossible to get, like Sora, for what it would represent. I’d honestly like a Three Houses character too (someone who uses an axe or lance though) but I think people will lose their shit if another Fire Emblem character makes it in (which makes me want it even more sometimes). I don’t think this is too likely though, since they said they had begun planning these things before Xenoblade 2 came out deconfirming Rex.
will you be watching the direct tomorrow?
Of course! However, I won’t be able to watch it until later tomorrow night because I have a nonstop day of class, work, and then driving.
I will definitely share my thoughts in some capacity once I do watch it, but I will be disconnected from the internet until then to avoid spoilers :)
I already got my boy in Smash, so anything else is just icing on the cake!
The Grandmaster of Ylisse is headed to Otakon! My promoted Robin cosplay is all ready to go, and I couldn’t be more hype to cosplay her now that her husband is joining the Smash roster :)
I’m so proud of how this costume turned out, I made everything except for the fire prop, which was bought from GiveWaveStudios, and I got help from my lovely aunt for sewing!
I’ll be wearing her on Saturday, but I’ll be at the con tomorrow too wearing Belle (she is much easier to purchase items in!).
If you want to meet up, let me know! I’d love to get to know you in person :D
People are trying to predict what new echo fighters will be put into the game, and some think Chrom is a likely candidate as an echo for Ike for a few reasons.
1. If you go to the Smash website, you can watch short videos showcasing each fighters’ moveset. A good amount of these videos feature the final smash for each character--Robin is not one of these characters. And as you probably know, a big part of Robin’s final smash in the last game was a Chrom cameo. He also isn’t in any of the pictures. While there are other characters whose final smashes for this game are still a mystery, perhaps they aren’t showing it because they removed Chrom from Robin’s move since he might become his own character?
2. Another clue comes from Ike’s color palette in this game. In SSB for Wii U, one of Ike’s color schemes was meant to resemble Chrom’s colors.
Ike was one of the playable characters at E3, so people were able to look at his color choices for this new game....this Chrom color palette is gone for Ike now! You can look at this video around the 4:25 mark to see his new color choices
3. I guess for the memes is another reason? Sakurai made it a joke that he wasn’t a fighter in the game by putting him in the reveal trailer for Lucina and Robin all those years back (I suppose I’ll get my chance...another day...). They even poked fun at him in the Palutena’s Guidance for Robin, saying he would have just been a clone of Ike.
Since they’ve made a new class of fighters that are literally just clones, I think they might give Chrom his chance and make him a slightly faster Ike. He could keep Ike’s final smash too...they both can use Aether :3
Conclusion: I’m in too deep and just want my dork husband in Smash. I know a lot of people would be mad about another ~~~blue haired FE sword user~~~ but like we have three Links all with a very similar moveset so it’ll be fine
After Nintendo’s E3 Direct, I was inspired to do a makeup/wig test for my next cosplay, Robin! So happy to see her (and everyone) in Smash once again
I have been building armor and a Levin Sword for her promoted version in FE Awakening--the Grandmaster! I’m almost ready to start priming and painting, it’s going a lot better than expected :)
