Not all his moves however would utilize this since it would practically be impossible to do so. His other gimmick would be timing moves right to do more damage/extend them a la Marth's Dancing Blade per say. Many moves would also be quite ranged when you take in his small stature. When I say unpredictable I mean a lot of his moves would have disjointed hitboxes and hit where you wouldn't expect them (in vein similar to WFT). Playstyle: I envision Marshal as a light, combo-ing type character whose moves are completely unpredictable.
#RINGSIDE RHYTHM HEAVEN FREE#
So feel free to discuss Marshal in the comments section below. Nothing makes Marshal more deserving than Ridley, Shulk, K. Even if there wasn't, it seems Sakurai has gone back on his word of AC characters being "too peaceful" for Smash so I don't think it would be much of a problem for a Rhythm Heaven character.Ħ. Rhythm Heaven games aren't really violent now are they?Īctually, while Marshal has not been seen doing any fighting there has in fact been some violence in the games. Also, Rhythm Heaven characters ARE NOT Warioware characters!ĥ.
#RINGSIDE RHYTHM HEAVEN SERIES#
This means absolutely nothing considering Sakurai has never come out and actually said he has penalized a series for being created by the same developers. But isn't the series made by the same developers as the Warioware series?

Seeing her in Smash might draw in the type of people who wouldn't usually play Smash just how Villager and even Marshal would do the same.Ĥ. Many people bought Wii Fit so a lot of people know about the WFT. One of Sakurai's criteria is "The character must make people want to play the game." Don't you think a casual character could do just that? Let me explain. Tell that to Wii Fit Trainer and Villager and no I'm not using it to justify his appearance because " other unexpected characters just got in". This series is casual though so why should Marshal be picked over characters from actual action games? This series already has tons of content that could be used for AT's, stages and items.ģ. As such, it can be used to draw more fans to the series. Rhythm Heaven is also a type of series that Nintendo has little of, the rhythm game.

This already puts it as one of the highest grossing Nintendo series to emerge after Melee especially when you consider it only has 3 games. The Rhythm Heaven series is in fact very popular and has sold more than 3 million worldwide. But then, what makes the Rhythm Heaven series important or deserving? If the character and/or franchise is deserving enough to get into Smash and Sakurai can make a moveset for them they can get in?Ģ. Well, neither were Fox, Falco, Wolf, Captain Falcon, Villager and Wii Fit Trainer before they were added into Smash. Marshal has never been seen fighting so how can he be in Smash?

He is also has a character design that feels like it could only be from the Rhythm Heaven games.Īrguments used against Marshal and the Rhythm Heaven series:ġ. This being said, it doesn't seem any move taken from a Rhythm Heaven minigame would seem out of place on him. What makes Marshal a better choice than other Rhythm Heaven characters? Well, out of all Rhythm Heaven characters he has a simple design and seems like the easiest to replicate the Rhythm Heaven minigames into his moveset. If you time his attacks in sequence to a certain universal rhythm they could become stronger (each trick would have the same rhythm.) This could make him a very strategic character that would take lots of practice to be used to the best of his ability. His playstyle could be very unique by one special feature. There are a lot of quirky things they could come up with by using the Rhythm Heaven games in fact. THE BIG QUESTION, what can Marshal add to the franchise? I think the best thing to do would be to incorporate music and the Rhythm Heaven minigames into his moveset.
