Man, Palutena and Miis are the only fighters who have massively different customs. Everyone else just gets "same but different" treatment.

... Though of course, giving everyone hugely different customs would be a ton of work and we would be waiting for the game to release in 2017.

I don't use customs.
Well, sorry to hear that. I still keep no-equip customs on standby, just in case.

[up]To be fair, while the specials reuse animations plenty their actual functions are invariably different. Fireball, Fast Fireball and Fire Orb are about as varied as projectiles can be.

I sure said that!

The only time I ever used customization was to complete the "Get a Fever 8 or more times as Dr. Mario", by giving him a Star Rod to start with.

Well, all the same, even if you never customize the others, Palutena and the Mii Fighters really like to have at least some of their alts on 'em- Palutena's default Powers are overall too reactive, so she loses control of the fight pretty fast most of the time.

I sure said that!

Oh, I do choose moves for my Mii Fighters. I don't give them equipment, though.

I use equipment more often than move changes myself.

Palutena and Mii Fighters' far more unique custom moves are essentially their gimmick. And yeah, Palutena doesn't have a balance set of base specials. It needs a bit more changing up and then she's fine. None of her actual specials are bad at all, but they need to be used in the right combination too.

I could care less about Palutena's gimmick actually (it's actually pretty neat). I simply don't use her as much as the others really and she doesn't really draw me otherwise.

Palutena's default moveset is the biggest tragedy of Smash history and I shall weep for it always.

Well at least she has her best up special by default.

Auto-Reticle is pretty solid, too.

The problem is that she really should only have Reflect Barrier or Counter at one time, not both.

I took off Reflect Barrier for Angelic Missile because I don't get many projectiles.

But I almost never use her counter, or anyone else's. I just keep it on to remind myself I should really practice with it if everyone else is going to use theirs.

Mega-Man's customs are different too.

Palutena's and the Mii Fighters' customs work differently from each other though.

Mega Man's customs like everybody else's still use the same animations, even if the effect is different.

Though his are more different than is typical, especially his Up Specials, een though they retain the same animations. Beat and Tornado Hold both use his "Whoa I'm Jumpin'!" animation but have entirely different effects.

...But seriously, Ice Slasher and Skull Shield for me.

I sure said that!

I like Ice Slasher too. Crash Bomber is too like Snake's C4 and I never know where it is.

I'm slightly disappointed that they didn't use Wheel Cutter for one of Megaman's neutral specials.

Well, it does look vaguely like there's a chance they'll each get a fourth custom special as DLC or something. Not certain, but it looks like there's space in the menu for them. Maybe Wheel Cutter has a chance.

I'm only really disappointed there's nothing taken from 10 and only the Black Hole Bomb from 9.

I'd have slightly preferred it if it was the Classic supporting cast helping Rock out during his FS, too- Five Mega Men is kinda cool from a meta point but from the Watsonian perspective he wouldn't know any of them.

It'd have been nice if Mega Man's default specials weren't all Mega Man 2 and the required Rush appearance.

I'm not sure how Wheel Cutter would work in eight different directions. Maybe you wouldn't be able to aim it? It'd be pretty cool as a recovery move, though, for stages with flat walls, if a bit broken.

Maybe Sakurai just wasn't fond of 10's weapons like plenty of fans were at the time. He could have made the Thunder Wool awesome the same way he did the Top Spin.

I haven't used any customs yet, except for one or two sessions where customs were on and I got bored and used the random button.

I should prooooobably experiment with them more since customs might be getting used in tournaments now...

I pretty much imagine the Wheel Cutter acting as a multihit Hothead item that doesn't last nearly as long.

I imagine Megaman would just drop it on the ground like he does in MM 10, but could pick it up and throw it like an item and once it hit a surface it would keep going as normal.

#73923: Apr 29th 2015 at 4:53:06 PM

Customs are those things that I love having even if I never use them.

Mostly I just use them in place of moves I don't like or for somebody I like to vary some.

I may not like or use any of Mewtwo's customs but by Master Hand I want them.

...Tabuu?

Master Core?

Sakurai?
