Smash Talk

Yeah I did one yesterday but the roster got leaked so shush.

So probably the biggest interest for me with these characters are probably the 2 least expected newcomers being Chorus Kids and Mach Rider. We know Sakurai has said he planned for Mach Rider to be playable in melee but he couldn’t come up with a good moveset for him, he also said this for Pac-man and Villager in Brawl mind you, so obviously he was able to make something work. Chorus Kids were also believed to be cut from Sm4sh due to unused Rythem Heaven icons being found in the Fighter selection.

Both of these characters people just can’t seem to even predict a moveset for. Mach Rider would be totally out of character off his vehicle (although you can say the same for Falcon but he’s more known from Smash than F-Zero at this point anyways) and the Chorus Kids are always together, not to mention their conductor is with them and may play a part.

I can’t for the life of me think of a good Mach Rider moveset, but I’ll try with the Chorus Kids...kinda.

I actually know very little about the Chorus Kids, but the biggest issue with them really is how tf are they going to move around the field, I think there’s 3 options.

1) the easiest way is they’re just glued together, they all hit at the same time and count as one entity similar to how I believe Banjo and Kazooie will be but not like the Ice Climbers. You move one you move all, though I have no clue how the Conductor would be included but him being in the banner doesn’t really mean he’s in the moveset like Mr Saturn, but Mr Saturn has been in every Smash game so it’s 50/50.

2) control them differently...kinda? It doesn’t doesn’t seem possible, it works with Ice Climbers but you don’t have enough hands or even buttons to control 3 people at the same time. Also seems OP as fuck, if this is the case I can’t wait to see Chorus Kids wrecking Bayonetta shit.

3) Maybe the other chorus Kids only appear for certain moves? Similar to Toad for Peach. Maybe it’s the conductor that’s playable but that makes even less sense. I don’t see this one working cause one little chorus kid fucker would look less threatening than Jigglypuff.

So yeah, that’s my take on them. I’m more excited for them than any other character although I’ll probably tear up when Banjo gets his trailer cause it’s like justice at that point...how we need Crash.
