This was inspired from a thread I saw where somebody said Sparg0's playstyle reminded them of Mew2King and PPMD.

Are there any Smasher's playstyle that reminds you of another Smasher's playstyle in a different game?

Some could argue that it was impossible to make justice to the Monster Hunter series with a fighter, given the endless moveset potential not being able to be all at once. It's not like Steve that he only misses a few references to his game and still is extremely well represented. Some would argue that Byleth is the ideal subject to how the Monster Hunter would've worked while other think that approach wouldn't feel natural.

But Monster Hunter is huge. It's Capcom second best selling IP, only surpassed by Resident Evil but still beating Street Fighter and Mega Man. I can see why Resident Evil was straight up impossible to represent other than with spirits (the horror aspect would've been heavily compromised), but Monster Hunter doesn't have that issue and it's bigger than other Capcom IPs already in Smash. Miis and spirits aren't enough at all.

So this situation is basically ''screwed if you do, screwed if you don't''. That's when Rathalos comes in. The assist trophy is just okay, just like it would've been a stage without a fighter, but the boss fight is a love letter to the fans of Monster Hunter. It emulates an usual battle in the series as well as it can, to the point the items dropped in the boss fight can stun Rathalos or even be used to set up traps when he's attacking.

At the end of the day, the Monster Hunter is just a generic avatar. The true protagonists of the series are the monsters, with Rathalos being the most popular. For obvious reasons, Rathalos cannot be a fighter in Smash (we thought Ridley was too big, but even his biggest forms cannot just be compared to Rathalos), but a boss fight was fair game, and the fact Monster Hunter was the only IP with that treatment...interesting

But it doesn't have to be this way, which is why I want to ask you, is there an IP from any company that you know a fighter cannot fully do that series justice but a boss fight would do it better? I actually do have one.

Romancing SaGa 2 and it's remake Revenge of the Seven are candidates for some of the best RPGs ever made, so they deserve representation in Smash. By itself, choosing just one character to represent the game as a fighter is difficult, but also, a main thing that sets it apart from other RPGs is the Imperial Succession mechanic, which I have no idea how they could possibly implement it to the fighter successfully and accurately. However, the game revolves around the conflict against the main antagonists (The Seven Heroes), and they're probably more interesting and more important than any other character in the game.

Not gonna spoil the final boss since the remake has been out for just about a week, but that battle was build-up for about the whole game and it's probably the most iconic boss fight. Having that boss battle in Smash over a fighter would still do Romancing SaGa 2 justice in my opinion. But what do you think? Do you agree with me on that? Is there a franchise that you believe would benefit more from a boss over a fighter?

Let me know in the replies down below and I'll be reading them. I'll see you people later. Until next time.

I was so pumped to blast the Brawl theme song on my hifi speakers and had to settle for Mii channel (sounded great). I know they're adding stuff piecemeal the way they do, but I wish smash had some songs from the jump. Gimme melee target theme or something, bb!

Smash Bros just isn’t fun playing with joycons. Since the last switch update I have no idea on how to get my GameCube controller to work again. I’m using a Mayflash adapter for which some people stated that one should just buy a first party adapter (my a$$ is broke)

It has been years and I still get the same message for all DLC characters but Piranha Plant… I love Palutena’s guidance and I would kill to hear Pit fanboying over Steve from Minecraft cuz Pit seems like the kind of guy who would do that. I am also simply curious on what Palutena, Viridi, Pit, and Maybe Pittoo have to say about our new DLC characters. As for Snake, I am still disappointed his codec only works on Brawl Characters… it would be nice to see how he interacts with Palutena and maybe being the goddess she is hacks into his codec call and talks to snake himself.

I doubt they will ever update them though it’s unfortunate as these 2 little easter eggs are fun and provide useful insights and tips on how to defeat the enemies.

Tell me, what can you do to fix heavies. I’ve not only played smash but also played nasb 2 and rivals of aether 2 to see what makes a good heavy.

By that I mean not about what got them intrested to become one since I assume in most cases is they won't to showcase their skills to the public and win the cash but how they start off, how to they get to the point they fighting in tournaments and go to the higher leagues, how they get their foot into the scene in the first place.

For the record I am not interested to become a competitive player even though I play pseudo competitive is mostly boil down to deal with travels even in the context of my area I just curious how exactly it happens.
