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 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.
Shadow?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.
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayI'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 sure said that!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.
Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.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.
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?

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.
