Maybe Poltergust could blow enemies away if not held, but WHEN held, it pulls them towards him and he auto-grabs them when they get close.
I agree, missiles should be able to be aimed, and that would make samus even better. I used Fusion Samus because of ice missiles, and that is the only version that does. Alt. Costumes exist though for a reason, and I would want them here in this game if it were made.
Edges are going to kill you in this version. If you choose to drop off of the ledge, you go into a falling animation and you cannot grab the ledge again. The same thing goes for wall jumpers.
Actually, in Prime 3, Samus was able to use Ice Missles. Her Fusion Suit as an alt. would be nice. My only problem is if ZSS were in, you don’t have the pieces of armor. Then again, that’s contradictory against canon to begin with.
That sounds nice for a planking solution, but it sounds extreme. It should be tested more than anything else.
If competitive play is your point of relevance than shouldn’t we just revamp luigi’s entire move set? When’s the last time you saw a luigi do well in a tournament that mattered? Luigi’s game in general is what you should be concerned about if you really want to make this game “better” and more balanced. He already has an amazing set of normals that when spaced properly leave him relatively safe. Throwing in one or two “bad” moves is what makes characters feel more balanced. Not giving them a shit ton of really really good techniques. All that does is make the game more spammy.
facepalm
You don’t balance out characters by giving them shitty moves. That’s just bad design. They should be balanced so that they have advantages and disadvantages in certain situations. For example, in Street Fighter, Chun-Li has difficulty on wakeups and lacks a solid anti-air. As another example, Pikachu is a glass cannon in the Pokemon games, especially when equipped with the Light Ball.
It would be better to revamp his move set, but his normals are all good, given his Smashes are very powerful on their own.
We don’t even have a good idea on HOW to revamp his moveset anyways. I see what you are getting at though. Make Luigi his own diverse character.
Some changes to him:
Poltergust is Side-B. Pressing B shoots out a boo. Holding B shoots out a chain of boos that grab the opponent that draws the target in. Also acts like a tether off stage.
As a continuing contrast to Mario, Luigi now shoots Ice Fireballs but in the same way he already did. When hit at higher percents, the Ice actually will freeze his opponents.
Up-B now goes higher and has a arc like it did in Smash 64.
Some changes like these can be made, but revamping his whole moveset outside of specials is very difficult.
