If everybody is already harder to KO weight doesn’t matter that much. Besides the game is mostly about offense not who can take hits better. Bowser and DK would’ve been top tier in Melee then.
http://kdingo.net/champ/pics/main.php?g2_itemId=6666 Interesting choice for a newcomer, I’ll put money on seeing him lol.
This is a different game, though.
Now that the likes of Bowser and DK have super-armor on their moves, they’ll not only take longer to knock off, they’ll be able to take away the advantages that speedy characters had against them last time: speed and priority.
There’s a reason why people say that Ike was a good “n00b killer”. He’s a bit on the slow side, but he hits damn hard, and was able to kill some of the light-weights at about 40% or there-abouts, according to some reports I heard.
Basically, speed guys will have a much harder fight ahead of them, as opposed to DX/Melee. That’s why you’re hearing so many people complain about the lack of L-Cancels and Wave-Dashes…it’s REALLLY going to put a damper on the parades of those who loved to rush down and spam stuff… 
And also…great comic.
The limits and effects of the heavy armor have not been confirmed yet. I doubt it works like the hyper armor in VS games and can break or be stun thrown.
Secondly, based on the Mario vs Bowser tutorial vids heavy armor isn’t ever-present or can be broken with a strong attack, so I don’t see it being a big deal unless certain big guys can abuse it with certain “safe” attacks.
Lastly, according to everyone who played it is much harder to KO characters overall and if floaters like Peach still exist it won’t make much of a difference if they’re light weight and has DI.
RE FOX:
If fox is going to be faster than mostly everyone like he’s been previously, I say it only MAKES SENSE for him to be lighter.
Oh, and the Falcon Punch should have 2 frame startup. YES.
And should have Heavy Armor during it so you KNOW it will it hit!
:lol:
hey, i made that “Lucario being at a disadvantage in a game where people fight” the other day 
The weight thing is a nice touch, Sonic being light shouldnt be so bad, with all that speed, but then again, they might just throw him as average, so w/e to what they do.
and regarding that squirtle being able to stick to the walls…he might just take turtling to a whole new level
haha…bad pun
In that same token Jigglypuff would be under the same circumstances eh?
Oh Noes Pikachu vs Squirtle is bad news!
Yeah, some of the weights are odd. But Ike should be around Link weight because he’s only really a “heavyweight” due to the big-ass Ragnell, not his own size. And the reason he’s slower than Link is because Ike could kill him or anybody else in the game at a much lower percent. MUCH lower. If he was exact Link speed and had that ridiculous power it’d be a hack.
Although it is worth mentioning that the guide classifies Link as a heavyweight in Brawl.
ivysaur’s a girl, so obviously she has to weigh less.
haha
Charizard should be able to OHKO Ivysaur, Bet on it. Charizard would give Lucario a run for his money too. Charizard is up there on the hard to ko list, right, i mean he is the heavy of the PokeTriad, if i recall.
Nooooo, now everyone shall be reduced to playing characters the way they were intentionally designed. Well, we’ll break the game sooner or later, it just takes time.
No it doesn’t. Sonic is already confirmed to be faster than fox, yet he weighs more. So your argument of “Speed = Light” doesn’t exactly hold up.
In case you guys are interested (and I KNOW you are,) the full version of the Angel Island theme is available for download. It was on some sonic music compilation cd.
Here’s the post from smashboards: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=138826
…seriously.
nice find, i’ve been wanting to hear this whole song for awhile now
That’s why it doesn’t hold up? are you serious?
First off, IIRC Sonic was last playable at E for all, and there has been changes since then.
secondly, if sonic DOES weigh more than fox at this point, who can say he’s NOT a feather weight? Seeing as he wasn’t on the list, after all.
That, and well, sonic might end up doing less damage than fox anyway.
I always thought it was common sense for the speed of the character to be taken into consideration when you’re designing how well they can take hits and how much damage they do.
Does anyone else ever have trouble of loading smashboards? Seriously, I have always had consistent problems with loading that site. I would probably be a regular poster there if I didn’t get so many “Problem loading page” messages.
yeah smashboards sucks. cool guys hang out in the smash hub.
Go Smash!
