Fandom Super Smash Bros. (OOC)

O hey, Sephiroth amiibo soon alongside Kazuya + Pyra/Mythra Later on this year

Now the real question is whether we got Sora Amiibo

 

[Ploegy]

Joker is like my pride and joy when I rp. I love rping him so much. Like he's a mixture of silly, flamboyant and reckless but also serious, cunning and smart. And even after basically putting his own life on the line for his team from a plan that could fail and get him killed, he's likely still very self sacrificial and would likely lay his life down to protect others

I'm gonna need the Pyra/Mythra ones day one lmao

And I'm sure we get Sora one tbh. I don't see why we wouldn't

 

[Kaiju Cat]

Jeff is the more of the shy and timid whereas Paula is the more fierce and outgoing type.

 

[Kaiju Cat]

And Sephiroth is Sephiroth..

 

[Develius]

OMG

Bowser Junior: Dad, I wanna new toy can you~
Bowser: BOY.

 

[Kaiju Cat]

Okay so I’ve been thinking of the recent Doom Slayer and it has me planning my next post for Sephiroth. So much fun.

 

[Kaiju Cat]

It’s not my first time for playing Sephiroth but my first fight.

 

[Develius]

It’s not my first time for playing Sephiroth but my first fight.

Same with Doom Slayer. I've had him face off against some lackeys before, but not against a player/npc character. This will certainly be interesting.

It will be given Seph’s cruel nature.. I’m looking forward to future posts.

I was watching a friend stream the Metroid Prime Trilogy on Discord, and somehow we got to discussing Avatar: The Last Airbender. We were discussing what bending style Samus would be the best at. Everyone stated Firebending while I debated that Samus would make an excellent Waterbender.

Waterbending is both offensive and defensive. It's the most versatile bending style, and mastery of it requires the bender to be flexible and adaptable; that's definitely Samus! Waterbending can create ice, which is handy for taking out Metroids, and the idea of Samus bloodbending Ridley or Raven Beak is sick af!

Because we're such nerds, we started theorizing which styles the other Smash Brothers would excel in. Everyone was surprised when I said that Pit would make a far better Firebender than Airbender, and that I think he'd struggle with Airbending.

Airbending is a mostly defensive bending style that relies on evasion, redirecting an opponent's moves and energy against them, and generally being tricky. Mastering Airbending requires the bender to be in touch with their spiritual self and remove themselves from earthly attachments and affairs. Despite being an angel, Pit is not a very spiritual being (can you really see him sitting still and meditating?) and he has some strong attachments which he can't ever truly remove himself from because it goes against his purpose, which is to protect Palutena and humanity. My streamer friend took my side and emphasized that Pit may be too attached to master Airbending properly, and that Dark Pit would have an easier time with it.

Firebending is a more aggressive, offensive style that relies on the user to be strong-willed and decisive to master it. It's the simplest and most straight-forward of the four bending styles. The style itself emphasizes kicking attacks and pairs well with dual blades. Hey! Guess who does both in Smash Bros.! I can see Pit embracing Firebending's representation of life and energy.

Toon Link would be the better Airbender, and not for the Wind Waker/Hero of Winds thing. The theme of Wind Waker is letting go and moving on. Toon Link is quite good at that as he's had to say goodbye so many times, and he willingly left his old life behind. He doesn't seem to hold any grudges or resentment, and once he finishes one thing he immediately moves to the other without looking back. He'd have a much easier time being able to detach himself and be truly "free", which is what Airbending represents.

So, since I'm such a neeeeeeeerd, what elemental bending style do you think would fit your chosen characters?

Bowser Junior: Dad, I wanna new toy can you~
Bowser: BOY.

Hearing that voice coming out of Bowser is pretty badass, especially the cold way "he" tells the guy to leave his house. Don't threaten Bowser's baby!

Waterbending would only really work for Pre-Fusion Samus~ as the Metroid DNA in her Fusion/Dread-suit wouldn't take kindly to freezing temperatures!

However, I certainly would think that would be her bending of choice from Zero Mission --> Super Metroid/Other M. Though Fusion/Dread Samus would probably benefit from firebending; so maybe she could switch to that.

 

[Kaiju Cat]

Hmm honestly I see Paula being a fire bender simply how aggressive she is with her psychic abilities. Plus she’s the fastest party member.

Whereas for Jeff I see him leaning towards air bending..

 

[AvidElmV2]

I'm personally not sure what kind of bender Snake would be, but it's been so long since I've watched Avatar and even then I never picked up on the intricacies of each bending type.

But, if I have to grasp at straws maybe earth or water. Water seems likely for the point of adaptability, which is Snake to a T. But earth also fits very well as a sturdy and reliable element. I think I recall earthbenders/Earth Kingdom-ers being rather earthly(har har) too, which I think Snake is to a T. Down to rejecting ideas of magic and supernatural ability even when they're very much present in his universe

A Waterbender doesn't need to expose themselves to freezing temperatures to turn water to ice! Waterbenders are shown being able to turn water to ice in warmer settings. Bending relies on chi. Samus could avoid using ice entirely if it's such a problem, though. She'd be able to create water whips if she were a Waterbender too! That doesn't mean Samus couldn't be a Firebender. I think she'd be a great Firebender, but I wanted to think outside the box!

I'm a kung-fu student, so I'm interested in the intricacies of the bending types in Avatar. 8D

I can definitely see Snake being great at either Waterbending or Earthbending. Mastering Earthbending requires patience, stability, and decisiveness. It isn't reliant on spirituality compared to the other bending styles.

This is true.

Either way, waterbending is a pretty fitting power overall. Especially with the gravity suit; meaning she can negate the effects of wading/swimming through water as a whole~

 

[Ploegy]

Pyra and Mythra are my easiest characters to pin down for which style they’d use which would be fire. I mean Pyra already has an affinity to fire as is so it makes most sense for her and the style being aggressive and offensive heavily fits Mythra’s combat style

Roxas likely falls into fire bending as well given his more aggressive nature. He’d probably fall under buying into that fire bending cones from one’s rage, which he has plenty of

Joker is an extremely weird one to pin down. His mentality aligns well with fire, but he’s not an all out aggressor. Air feels like it could be a fit for him but he is far from being spiritual by any means. Honestly water could work for him as well given it’s whole “turning defense into offense” approach. That fits well with Joker and there is fluidity in the way he fights but he might be more chaotic than the average waterbender

Sora is a weird one too because much like Joker I think he fits into the same three categories. Air is less so for him though since I feel he’s too attached to things. Fire probably works best for him like most of my other characters but I do think water is also on the table for him

And then there’s Yoshi. I’m not sure what he fits into tbh

 

[Kaiju Cat]

Well we all know Sephiroth fits as a fire bender too because of his anger and rage.

Airbending Yoshi! XD He lives simply, doesn't seem to have many attachments or concerns, and generally seems to take life in stride.

 

[Develius]

We all know what Bowser's bending element would be~

And the Doom Slayer would also be a Fire Bender too, given he has a portable shoulder turret that can churn out fire as well as the fact that he's... well, killing demons in Hell.

And this cool skin (when you pre-order Doom Eternal or something) also shows that fiery essence~

 

[SheepKing]

Fhskfhsdjdjd As hilarious as it is, Inkling would probably be a water bender. The memo of versililitlity and adaptability seems to fit them pretty well, since while an inkling may have preferences for style and weaponry, they’re always open to swap for what best fits the situation. Plus they’re pretty much the definition of fluid, being a ink based creature that can change shape whenever they so please. Also there’s the whole being a marine creature that ties them even further to it. Chrkfjsfi really the only problem is the actual water aspect of it considering one wrong move and Inkling would splat themself. Though I guess they could create a sub style of water bending based entirely around ink, kinda like lavabending.

Pichu would be a fire bender who specializes in lightning redirection for obvious reasons. Then Isabelle would be an earth bender since her character is all about being reliable and a source of support for the mayor. She’s the rock that supports the town! Andddd most importantly she wears green

 

[Develius]

GrumpySwallow Minako - Samus post out!

Nearly thought I lost everything after power went out in my room for a second, but THANKFULLY the RPN gods were merciful with me this time and kept my stuff~

I'll should be able to get a Bowser post out by the start of the weekend though, if not sooner.

 

[Develius]

GrumpySwallow - Also god damnit, how hadn't I found this gem sooner:

Spoiler: What Putt sees after Samus walks off~

 

[GrumpySwallow]

Well we all know Sephiroth fits as a fire bender too because of his anger and rage.

I can see Sephiroth having blue fire.

Sephiroth and Pit Agni-Kai when?

Fortunately, being "chaotic" has little to do with it. It's like saying Pit should be a great Airbender because he has a great sense of humor like the Airbenders do.

Lol imagine Roxas and Dark Pit going on the journey to learn true Firebending.

Roxas: *sees that his fire went out* ... Pittoo!

Pittoo: What did you just call me?

Roxas: My fire went out!

Pittoo: What do you want me to do?

Roxas: Give me some of yours!

Pittoo: No way! Just make your own!

Roxas: *tries to grab at Pittoo's fire* I can't!

Pittoo: Get some from one of those warriors. Stop cheating off me!

Roxas: Quit being stingy!

Then Isabelle would be an earth bender since her character is all about being reliable and a source of support for the mayor. She’s the rock that supports the town! Andddd most importantly she wears green

Isabelle Earthbending is awesome and hilarious as heck! I can totally see it fitting her too!

Yeah fortunately it’s not but more chaotic movements definitely aren’t normal for a waterbender if I’m remembering things right it has been awhile after all ultimately Joker would be a waterbender who somehow has a fighting style similar to a firebender if he went the water route. He just switches from fluid defensive movements that take advantage of his opponent’s moves and then the next he’s putting on rapid pressure. I suppose this could work in the opposite manner as well with fire. That’s why he’s kinda hard to pin down

Pittoo and Roxas adventures hell yeah! Roxas trying to steal Pittoo’s fire and causing them to get into some petty little fight
