Hypothetical Character Concept - Spyro the Dragon

Posted: 28 Mar 2018 06:59 PM PDT

Now I may or may not be making this partially due to the fact that rumours are floating around about an upcoming remake, but also because I've always been a big fan of Spyro since being young, given him, Crash and the Pokémon anime were basically the things that got me into videogames in the first place. But Spyro is one of the many characters I'd love to see in Smash.

Spyro is kind of a difficult one. Not only because of his situation (Skylanders Spyro's design basically being considered the 'Ghostly Adventures Pac Man' by many fans), but also because him being quadrupedal is kinda hard to work with and his abilities are also similar to fellw Dragon Charizard to a degree, however, I'm willing to attempt to make a moveset for him.

First of all, for statistics, Spyro would have a good ground speed and great air speed, along with being fairly floaty and having a third jump. However, he wouldn't weigh too much meaning it's significantly harder for him to tank hits.

One other minor gimmick Spyro would have is Sparx. Sparx would be present throughout the entire battle, unlike the games where being hit too much causes him to disappear, but there is a reason for that that I will explain later. Simply put, after taking a set amount of damage, Sparx will change colour, from yellow, to blue, then to green. This is nothing more than a visual gimmick much like Mac's bruises and Bayonetta's shadow wings.

Now as for a moveset, it's kinda difficult, as Spyro doesn't have a great deal of things to work with aside from his basic skills. However, I am willing to try and create a few moves for him just to give him a complete moveset:

  • Jab: Headbutts forward, basically the same as Pikachu's
  • FTilt: Lowers his head, then flicks his horns upwards
  • UTilt: Does a quick hop upwards and hits opponents with his horns
  • Dtilt: Simple tail sweep, somewhat based on his whirlwind animation
  • FSmash: Fire breath, decent knockback and damage, albeit not his strongest Smash
  • USmash: Spyro backflips and hits is opponent with his tail, similar to Yoshi's UAir
  • DSmash: Head Bash, does a quick jump and them slams head first into the ground, high shield damage, to reference the rock breaking ability of the move from Spyro 2 and 3
  • Nair: Skateboard. Pulls a skateboard out and does a trick
  • Uair: A headbutt leap that resembles a much faster and aggressive version of his hover ability, gains a tiny bit of upwards momentum when used, akin to Fox's Fair
  • Fair: Sparx shoots out an energy shot, akin to Villager's Fair
  • Bair: A quick side to side tail slap
  • Dair: A diagonal stall-then-fall move based on his falling animation while charging
  • Neutral B: Superflame. A Samus style Neutral B that can be charged, however, it lacks the ability to be stored. However, the shot itself is very fast moving, partially making up for it
  • Side B: Supercharge. A chargeable Side B somewhat similar to Ike's and Sonic's
  • Up B: Whilrwind. A non damaging move that sends Spyro high into the air, but much like Mega Man's and Sonic's Up B's, Spyro doesn't go into freefall and can still attack out of it
  • Down B: Spits an explosive rock, said rocks can actually be picked up mid air much like Diddy's peanuts or Link's bomb and thrown back
  • Grab: Grabs his opponents with his front legs
  • Pummel: Smashes his head into his opponent's repeatedly
  • UThrow: Flicks his opponent high into the air off of his horns
  • DThrow: Smashes his opponents into the ground with his horns
  • BThrow: Bites his opponent then throws them backwards
  • FThrow: Shoots a short range fire blast at his opponents
  • Uptaunt: Looks towards the screen and raises one eyebrow
  • Sidetaunt: Sits down and licks his hand, then quickly runs his hand over his spines as if he's styling hair
  • Downtaunt: Puts on the sunglasses he wore at the end of the first game
  • Victory Animation 1: Swoops in the same way the first game's intro begins
  • Victory Animation 2: Flies in a circle as if using the infinite flight powerup
  • Victory Animation 3: Shocked by Zoe the Fairy's wand, a reference to the autosave animation
  • Alts: Purple (Standard), Green (Original unused design), Red (Superflame colours), Blue (Based on one of the powers used in the Ripto fight), Light Blue, Orange and Grey (Based of of some of the 'Thank you for releasing me' guys) and Black (Based on his burnt animation)
  • Victory theme: The reoccuring leitmotif from the first game

As for a stage and music, Lofty Castle could be a great stage, as it's not too far fetched from the concepts of what's already in Smash. Music wise, Wizard's Peak, Glimmer and Desert Ruins are quite iconic for Spyro music and are the most likely picks as a result.

How different would the Ice climbers be if the backup climber immediately respawned?

Posted: 28 Mar 2018 08:33 PM PDT

Would this improve the character as this might allow for a larger continuous time with wobbles active or would this make it easier to keep them separated?

Full Bloom 4 Melee Top 8 Results

Posted: 28 Mar 2018 10:51 AM PDT

50+ fighters announced on the website in 39 weeks...

Posted: 28 Mar 2018 08:05 AM PDT

For previous Smash games, (At least as far as I can remember for SSBB), Sakurai would generally give weekly character updates and reveals, whether it be veterans or newcomers. Sometimes there was hiatus between posts, but these reveals came over 2 years of known development time. As for Smash on the Switch, whether or not it's a port, shouldn't there be character reveals on the website eventually? If we're going off either theory, there's at least going to be around 50 characters in the game, and they have to post summaries/reveals for all of them before the game releases this year (If they keep to tradition, that is). That means about 1.56 reveals per week if they started doing it right about now, and that number only increases as the weeks go on. So what does this mean for the character reveals? Are they going to start soon do you think? Or, perhaps, are they going to just drop it all on us in a big bombshell at the game's release? Maybe somewhere in the middle grounds, where we get a lot revealed at E3, and then progressively reveal more and more characters until the release?

This calls for some major speculation!

Faster Load Times on Wii U for Speedrunning (Smash Bros. Specifically)

Posted: 28 Mar 2018 11:59 AM PDT

I've been speedrunning event matches on Smash 4 for a while, and I've noticed I'm losing time loading in comparison to the current world record run, approximately 1 sec. per load screen. As the run is of 60 events, those load times are really hurting my runs.

I've tried switching to a download copy as opposed to disc, and this hasn't seemed to fix it. I've heard that load times have increased over the course of updates, but no real concrete evidence to verify it.

I'm about 1 minute away from the world record with my current personal best, and I think this is key in finally achieving it. Anyone have any advice on how to get these loads faster?
