Or just work out something with square to do SMRPG Warriors. Playing as Geno, Smithy, Mack, etc could be amazing. Hell, all the protagonists already have multiple weapons associated with them. The Hurly Gloves for Bowser could be a lot like the great fairy in this game, and imagine taking down thousands of mooks with a frying pan.

Joke character would be Mallow Booster.

Nah gently caress this. Regular Mario Warriors is cool. You've got Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Peah, Daisy, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Koopa Kids, Yoshi, Toad, Wart, you knock the poo poo out of thousands of goombas and Koopas and Shy Guys and all the officers are weird poo poo like the dudes who vomit up spike balls or the fire breathing dinosaurs from World or any number of awesome goddamn Mario villains

I wouldn't rule it out just yet:

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/09/hyrule_warriors_producer_would_love_to_work_with_mario_and_company

quote:

Hyrule Warriors producer, Hisashi Koinuma, certainly isn't against further collaborations with Nintendo, with perhaps more hack 'n slash action on his agenda. Speaking to Eurogamer at the Tokyo Game Show, Koinuma-san declared that he'd love to work on a Star Wars title, for one, but then mused on what would be an intriguing Nintendo project.

One of my ultimate dreams would be using that character with the red hat on top. There is a Smash Bros. coming out, we do see a lot of different characters coming together in an all-star roster, so hopefully in the long run we can work with Nintendo on something with a similar line, where we can provide or deliver something Nintendo can't in a sense with their own IP.

Hyrule Warriors is already about a wizard who pulls characters from multiple universes/timelines/whatever, so something of the sort with a smash-bros-esque roster would be bananas.

However, unless there's an actual announcement it's not worth getting our hopes up for. I don't expect it'll ever happen.

Why not? Hyrule Warriors was a huge success, I'm definitely expecting another Nintendo collaboration at some point.

Yeah, feeling matters a lot in this game.

Of course you can train yourself to anything. As I learned well by slamming my head against the Wind Waker level 2 unlock on WiiU, which made the Wind Waker go from my worst to my best weapon in the game.

I really wish Rapier Zelda had a better 'kill lots of mooks' move. Its actually pretty good at dealing with everything else so far, but that mission you have to A rank in the bottom of the Adventure map to get access to the Great Fairy was absolutely miserable because its tight and she doesn't just naturally clear out a lot of mooks while you're bursting down a Captain or whatever.

I had to actually go and farm two keeps to barely squeak over the KO requirement before Fi died.

I really wish I had the Dominon Rod or Wind Waker for that one.

EDIT: Wait... I'm pretty sure that used to be the Wind Waker level 2 unlock map.

huh.

I like to use the one where she fires a bunch of light arrows up into the air. You can reorient yourself right before she busts out the bow. You use the zig-zags in her attack string to mess up the enemies in front of you, and then immediately turn and fire on the enemies in another direction (I find that behind and a bit to the side works best, but aim wherever they're the thickest).

It's not a great move if you don't know about the redirecting, but it's great and messing up crowds and taking keeps once you do.

I'm surprised at how low-leveled a lot of the Wind Waker map seems to be. I'm in the second area now (past the first headwind) and the missions there are still easier than a lot of those on the first Adventure mode map.

Most of rapier Zelda's moves are pretty decent if you're fully charged up with light, except her C5. That move is awful because it has basically no range to it so you really only end up hitting guys that are right next to her, which ends up being like two or three KOs at best.

That's the giant triangle one, right? It looks so awesome, but it pushes enemies away before killing them or something, and ends up hitting practically nobody.

Zelda with light is good against crowds and giant bosses, and Zelda without light is good against big monsters (moblins, etc) and named dudes.

They got that move right with Tetra and Young Link though, thats what baffles me. Just give it a draw-in like Fi's C6.

Mash Y to add a spin-dash to the end of any attack chain which just bowls through mooks in front of you. Hit Y in mid-air for a homing attack, up to 3 times.
