Fighter: Alear(Fire Emblem 18/Engage)

This is gonna be hella long

For their normals, they use Liberation(can't put the accent sadly)

These are all very genetic sword swings, so let's blitz through them.

Jab: Three Quick Slashes, no flurry.

F-Tilt: Another par for the course attack. Does slightly higher shield damage though.

D-Tilt: Much longer than others like Marth & Roy, but also a bit slower too.

U-Tilt: The juggle tool. You know how to use it.

Dash Attack: A quick, disjointed lunge. As with the other basic lords, Alear suffers in the range department. Use this to approach & pressure your opponents!

F-Smash: It may look far cooler than the other FE Forward Smashes, but the horizontal slice means that it covers less space & is a tad slower. Angle it up or down to hit ledge or.....(let's be real, why the hell would you angle shit up?)

Up Smash: Like Sephiroth's, but Masamune is far longer, obviously. Still, far better than the other characters.

Dowwn Smash: They're all the same, you know how this works.

Neutral Air: A vertical flip is more unique, but again, actually way worse than the others.

Forward Air: Ah, we knew you were waiting for this one. It's just Roy's but a tad longer, & also no sourspots. PS: Roy's is pretty good.

Down Air: Marth's Down Air would be better without the stupid sweetspot requirement. Good thing Alear doesn't have that issue. RIP Lucina, I guess. Eh, she isn't coming back anyway.

Back Air: Literally just Cloud's. Great for kills.

Up Air: The other juggling tool. You don't need anything else. Just like Roy.

Grab, Pummel & Throws: Due to Alear's inability to Draconize, their throws are all super generic. RIP.

Get-Up Attack & Ledge Get-Up Attack: Do not deserve their own talk about, it's a sword character, moving on...

Alear has a gimmick!
Alear has Rings. And no, not the Sonic ones.

If you have no clue what the game is about, go buy it, it's the best Fire Emblem, gameplay wise, the story is balls, but the stories have always been balls, anyhoo
Depending on which ring is currently active, the specials will change. By default, (SPOILERS) is active. More on switching rings later.

Neutral Special: Brave Lance/Killer Axe/Elivagar/Liberation

Brave Lance: Long Ass Stab, decimates shield, it's slow but has armor. Hit's twice.(Small hit then launching hit)

Killer Axe: Massive vertical swing. Think Hatchet Man, but an Axe. Has a critical hit chance(A very high one, too!)

Elivagar: I'm not even gonna pretend like I understand what this means.
Magic sphere which induces a random status affect(Sleep, Flower, Freeze, Fire damage effect, Electric Damage effect, Trip)

Liberation: Chargeable slash. Ike Side B but cooler.

Side Special: More of the same if I'm being honest.

Up Special: Everything but Up minus Liberation which is basically just Dolphin Slash.

Down Special: This allows you to swish between the Ring of (SPOILERS), Ring of the Holy Knight, Ring of the Sage Lord & the Bracelet of the Lonely Heir(wait, a bracelet?)

Final Smash: There's 4(oh god) & they're pretty similar, but one is far better, & I think you know where this is going by now.

1: Override(with Sigurd) Captain Falcon final Smash, but with a horse & a lance

2: Quadruple Hit(with Leif) Generic name, but insanely cool looking.

3: Summon Hero(with Veronica) Through the power of microtransactions, Veronica summons one of the other lords in the game, &  they use they're finisher instead. Fits her lazy ass.

4: (SPOILERS) But it's the best one


Victory theme: As with most Fire Emblem characters, a snippet of the best part of the game's main theme.

Victory Poses:

Number one is the "Ready Yourself" Animation for whenever Alear is  about to attack, except way cooler.
Number 2 is the enemy defeat pose.
Number 3 is.........spoilers, to be clear.

Taunts:
Taunt number 1 is the crit dialogue & pose.
Taunt number 2 is sheathing liberation.
Taunt number 3 changes depending on the ring chosen at the moment.
With Sigurd: "Ready yourself!"
With Leif: "Whatever it takes!"
With Veronica: "You're useless" My god what a bitch
Or....spoilers.

Holy shit that took forever. I'll do the rest later.

EDIT:
Fuck it, we ball

1 Battle theme from every area of the game + Main theme + Preparation + 1 DLC track
And that's it for Alear. I'll do the next fighter sometime soon, after someone posts, so I don't triple.


EDIT: Welp, guess I'll just do it here.
Fighter: Octoling(Splatoon)

Octoling shares their tilts, throws & aerials with Inkling.

Jab & Flurry: Octoshot instead of Splattershot

Forward Smash: Heavy Splatling. Mid Range, slow, powerful

Up Smash: Splatana Wiper. Incredibly fast, a little on the weaker side, but with good range.

Down Smash: Octobrush. Super fast, poor range, poor damage.

Neutral Special: Octoshot. Same as Inklings, basically.

Side Special: Splat Brella. Tap to raise the shield. Tap again to drop it. Tap & Hold to launch the shield.

Up Special: Super Jump. Same as Inklings.

Down Special: Toxic Mist. Enemies inside it move slower & take poison damage.

Final Smash: Booyah Bomb. Just a massive AOE attack. It's really hard to avoid.

Whatever bangers they're cooking up for Side Order
As you can tell, I am incredibly pissed off by the sheer midness of the SSBU Splatoon songs. There's a few good ones, but so many are trash. Like, Metalopod is balls, & the horrible Splattack remix, 5 Now or Nevers, 3 are complete shit. Octoweaponry is eh, Muck Warfare was completely unnecessary...
They need to cook next time.

What the fuck are C & D attacks???
And also it's Up, Left or Right on the D-Pad
There is no "Down" victory pose

Aside from that, cool idea!

You leaked her name on the internet

Getting grounded is the least of your worries

Dawg we are telling you that that won't work. It is not a url , it's a file path, one that we can't see because we don't have the file. Just type out whatever it says

I didn't even consider that

Yikes

Why'd you leak your IRL name

Also we can't see personal files

Sunset Wilds AGAIN?! Why
Yoshi Desert is right there
(Also only 1 3DS track but 3 DS tracks, 2 in the same cup after we already got 4 DS in 8 & 7 & Wii)

I still feel that next game will be a soft reboot, but if not I've got my predictions set.

First off, 4 cups of retros will not be enough after BCP, it needs to be atleast 6

For the tracks

SNES: Koopa Beach 1/2, Choco Island 1/2, Vanilla Lake 1/2, Mario Circuit 4, Ghost Valley 1/2/3

Either way any of these would be getting the BC3 remake so it'd be better.

N64: Frappe Snowland, Mario Raceway, Banshee Boardwalk

Wii completely killed off everything for this game.

GBA: Cheep Cheep Island, Yoshi Desert, Peach/Luigi Circuit, GBA Bowser Castle 2/3/4, Lakeside Park, Broken Pier, Rainbow Road

Tour had so many good remakes and they picked Sunset Wilds & Sky Garden

GCN: Mushroom Bridge/City, Peach Beach, Dino Dino Jungle, Rainbow Road

All of these(besides Dino Dino) have good cases, & if Peach Beach got updated like Waluigi Stadium & Peach Gardens, then it might cook

DS: Delfino Square, Luigi's Mansion, Airship Fortress, Bowser's Castle

This time 7 killed the game off. Could be anything really(except Figure 8/Falls)

Wii: Toad Factory, Mario Circuit, Dry Dry Ruins(okay this one is peak), Bowser Castle

Literally it for the game, talk about milked, meanwhile we have

7: Daisy Hills, Shy Guy Bazaar, Cheep Cheep Lagoon, Wario Shipyard, Bowser's Castle, Mario Circuit

It's kinda nuts how much they could pull from this game. Best Mario Circuit in the series, a track cut from Mario Kart 8(Shy Guy Bazaar), objectively best Bowser Castle in the series, Wario Shipyard, 2 Mushroom Cup tracks are pretty good, and they bring back...Toad Circuit? Rainbow Road? Atleast we got the base 8 courses & Rock Rock, but they dropped the ball with their best entry's(track-wise) representation, which is especially crazy when you realize how many retros from 7 were brought back(atleast 2 in every Wave except 4 & 6; Wave 2 & 3 have 3 retro tracks EACH). Heck, Tour was built off of 7's engine. It's literally THE Mario kart. And yet they keep sucking off Wii for no reason...anyway, they need to do 7 justice(again, the base 8 tracks were prety good)

WiiU: Hopefully Switch 3 isn't 10+ years away or we'll literally have been playing on these courses for 20 years

Could be anything but I'm gonna pick one from each cup

Thwomp Ruins, Twisted Mansion, Electrodrome, Cloudtop Cruise, Dragon Driftway, Wild Woods, Ice Ice Outpost(ew), Super Bell Subway

Tour:

Piranha Plant Pipeline

Bottom Text


Ideally also RMXs would be on the table, but I genuinely do think the era of the series that we've been playing for the last 20 years is over(DS is when retros were first added aside from Super Circuits....whatever you wanna call that. Reimaginings? Not really) They aren't enough tracks for any more than one last game in this style, & the BCP credits do give me that "On to the next one!" Vibe. Combine that with nearly every other Nintendo series doing the same thing on Switch, & I dunno. I'm 90% positive that the next era is coming: if not, see you all in MK9/10 online where ppl pick SNES MC1 & nothing else.

EDIT: Unironically, they could re-release some of the Tour tracks & I'd be completely alright with it, the cities were easily the best part of the BCP(as someone who has played Wii & 7 to death & is bored of seeing Coconut Mall & Waluigi Pinball over & over and over)

Like, Ninja Hideaway carried Wave 1, Sydney carried Wave 2. The Tour tracks are good, some of the best in the series.

Fair enough. Maybe I should keep 150 in mind next time...

https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?i=158680

I'm raising you this one to replace Sky High Sundae(since imgbb goes down every couple days, it feels like)

Admittedly there are a crap ton of Halloween tracks in CTGP DX already, and this is pretty long on 150

If retros are fine...
https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?i=97107
I'll send you the collab link.

Have you tried tapping R instead?

Are you tapping R while walking, or holding it down?

Wait, does mobile not have division sign(not that it's used at all outside primary/elementary)? How did they do that

EDIT: I just checked my phone it's there,are you on Apple by chance?

Common Apple L

I thought this was going to be one of those bait math questions with 2 different answers based on the system you grew up with that you see so often.

On an unrelated note, how did you type a division sign? Are you on mobile?

EDIT: No wait, it could still be one. Problem is I feel that it's an American vs EU sort of thing & there's more EU + rest of World here than Americans

EDIT 2: Nah I'm tripping, it's got nothing to do with region & everything to do with deciding whether to prioritize dividing or multiplying

Brackets first: 6/2(1+2) = 6/2(3) = 6/6 = 1
Divides first: 6/2(1+2) = 6/2(3) = 3(3) = 9

Something like that, I think(yes I know it looks insane written like that, no need to tell me)

That's really good! Although I thought that you'd mention that Psychomeddler is a remix of Alivel Mall.

Also the part where they didn't use Green Greens once in the entire game to show that it really is a new world.(Except the House Replica, of course) This is especially noticeable in the final boss theme, because the past 4 games have Triumphant Return in them.

Damn the lady who made this show died yesterday wtf

That's depressing & the timing is interesting

As my childhood: pretty good. Definitely had better moral points than most of the stuff now(except for PBS which is apparently getting defunded soon so there goes that) which is what should be being taught at that level.

Not a fan of all the spinoffs nowadays, they're all really pointless & retcon-ny.

I'll assume that the main series is still the same as it always was but I haven't watched it in years

Yeah, as long as it isn't reach the top & then fall all the way to the start & get a lap.

Ultras, I don't know about that on a mountain course.
