Palutena [Kid Icarus] Discussion

Discuss whether or not you think Palutena should be added to Super Smash Bros. Crusade.

Support!

I don't see a good reason for Palutena whatsoever. I'd rather have a new fighter instead.

Well, for starters: She is the most important supportive character in Kid Icarus Uprising.
Speaking of supportive, I support. But don't forget to add her poledance taunt from Smash 4.

You can just say she's a main character in Uprising you know that right

If she joins to Crusade, which moveset you could give her (I'm talking only of Special Attacks)?

I'm assuming we'd give her her default special moves from SSB4, or the ones we find the most unique.

I was more careful about using the "main character" term, because although I have Uprising, I still have not completed it (I'm still at the Pseudo Palutena story arc).

Best specials for Palutena (My opinion BTW):
Neutral: Explosive Flame, Side: Angelic Missile, Up: Explosive Jump + Jump Glide, Down: Reflect Barrier
Others: Heavenly Light, Celestial Fireworks and Auto Recital

Auto Recital for Neutral Special, so Explosive Flame can be Up Smash.

But that lazer is a cool up smash, explosive flame for side smash! *Insert character splash*

"Black Hole! Mega Laser!"

Please not. Palutena should decide between one of those.
Idea: Let's give Palutena two Final Smashes.
One of them is Black Hole only, the other is Mega Laser only.

@TrinitroMan - Well, that's nice.

How about this, if Palutena is near to a foe, use Mega Laser. And if she is far from a foe, use Black Hole.

I would like to see her in crusade. She needs better tilts though... (Perhaps making them multi-hit would help, but just a tiny bit) and FSmash/DSmash could use better starting/ending lag. If these latter ones are deemed a little too safe their reach could be fixed by level of charge, having greater range if fully charged rather than gaining more knockback.

Also, just an idea, some of her "Custom specials" Could make for more unique grabs. The Fireworks Down B(?) could make an Up throw while the Fireball Side B would make a good forward throw. It's just more work altogether though so i don't mind if we get sm4sh Palutena translated into crusade

Actually, I thought about multiple Final Smashes in the sense of selectable Final Smashes (like with Ryu and Goku).

Honestly, Palutena is a character I think should be lower priority, but as I think every Smash veteran deserves to be in Crusade, I support her.

She's a better choice than Dark Pit.
