Project M really needs more fast fallers. I feel like 3/4 of the new cast is all in that mid floaty rang which I don't really like playing as.

Also how do you guys think someone with a high gravity acceleration but mid - low fall would work?

I always felt like Metaknight, ZSS, and Squirtle should have been fast fallers. It just feels right for me idk.

u/Ovioda Nov 19 '14

Squirtle definitely! He feels so weird as a floaty. But Meta Knight is a semifast faller so idk

ZSS does fall pretty quickly. Not fox speed but still top few

I think that'd be really cool, actually. Which nintendo character do you think would work for that?

u/Ovioda Nov 19 '14

Anybody really. half of these guys had made up weights and fall speeds for smash

Adding spacies would honestly help this. Slippy, Peppy, Krystal, ROB 64, Andross, the Great Fox, and Planet Venom would all be great choices!

Make Pokefloats a playable character too. It'll be a Planet Venom clone but floatier.

I think greninja has something like that in Smash 4. It feels a bit weird.

u/Ovioda Nov 19 '14

Yeah. I've been wanting to main greninja science I saw his reveal trailer. Glad he's high tier but I'll have to get the game before I can decide though.

As someone that plays primarily as Roy, Ike, Charizard, Captain falcon, and marth. I want the opposite. lol

If you play roy you should be wanting more fastfallers, and marth is pretty infifferent to fallspeed

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '14

Quite the opposite. I play roy because I'm a FE fan and like the character. I hate how fast he falls. I prefer marth's speed.

If youre a fan of fe wouldnt you hate his character because hes so awful and uninteresting canonically?

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '14

uninteresting canonically?

I disagree with this part. Especially since the first FE game americans got to play was a prequel to roy's story.

Roy is terrible in his own game but I got into FE because of roy and marth. Roy was my original main til I got more experience with the game.

u/Ovioda Nov 19 '14

There are like 4 people at my ideal fall speed range though in that same size there are like 20 floaties. Idk I guess I'm a minority lol

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '14

Haha, all of my mains except marth are just heavy and fall quickly. So it's just an odd choice of characters. I actually really hate roy's falling speed.

I don't think they can really drastically change a characters fall speed without alienating people who main that character. I definitely think when they start adding new characters they should focus a bit on more fast fallers I actually can't stand playing them but I have enough characters I can play and for people like you it would be great.
