Fighter Idea: Noah from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for next installment after SSBU


King Marth 64

Recommended Posts

Since I did play much of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 around for 3 hours during at launch day and I was looking up for some ideas down for Noah what fits in the next SSB installment after Ultimate as a newcomer fighter. I had some couple of ideas down what I think Noah might have. I haven't checked out what the other classes special moves to pick for Noah's alternate special moves. Here's the list that I came up with so far:

 

Special Moves

  • Neutral: Changing Classes (Since Shulk uses the Monado Artes as his Neutral, what about this Neutral Special for Noah switches the classes and the weapons based on what he uses, he can also change to his main allies' classes and the Guardian Commander class as well)
  • Kirby Copy Ability: Kirby would use the Changing Class, but it uses the Side Specials as the attacks depending on what Kirby uses.
  • Side: Ground Beat for Swordfighter Class
  • Back: Sword Strike for Swordfighter Class
  • Up: Air Slash (He does have Air Slash like Shulk, but it felt it very different from Shulk's version) for Swordfighter Class
  • Down: Edge Thrust for Swordfighter Class
  • Shield + B: Overclocked Buster for Swordfighter Class
  • Final Smash: Ouroboros (The Final Smash Helper would be Mio helping Noah be making the Fusion together in the Final Smash similar to like Dunban, Riki, & Fiora helping Shulk & Rex helping Pyra & Mythra)

 

Costumes: Adventure & Soldier Off-Seer Outfit

  1. C1: Red Adventure Outfit (Default)
  2. C2: Black Soldier Off-Seer Outfit (Alternate Outfit)
  3. C3: Grey Adventure Outfit (Based on Mio's colors)
  4. C4: Gold Soldier Off-Seer Outfit (Based on one of the XC3 Antagonists N's Color)
  5. C5: Black Adventure Outfit (Based on Sena's colors)
  6. C6: Blue Soldier Off-Seer Outfit (Based on Lanz's colors)
  7. C7: White Adventure Outfit (Based on Taion's colors)
  8. C8: Green Soldier Off-Seer Outfit (Based on Mio's colors)

 

Stage

Nations of Keves & Agnus (this would change locations similar to like how Castle Siege handles)

 

Spirits (or Trophies depending on which comes back in the next installment)

Spoiler

 

  1. Mio -> Enhanced Mio
  2. Euine
  3. Taion
  4. Lanz
  5. Sena
  6. Riku & Manana
  7. Guernica Vandham
  8. Ethel
  9. Isurd
  10. Cammuravi
  11. Consolus
  12. N
  13. Queen Melia (as an Enhanced Spirit of Melia (Xenobalde Chronicles 1).)
  14. Queen Nia (as an Enhanced Spirit of Nia (Xenobalde Chronicles 2).)

I'm not really down with Noah, and his only unique claim to fame is the trick sword which you'd expect to save for his final smash. And I like how they relented on doing Rex just to get to the two characters people seem to actually like. So as a followup to that, just go straight for Eunie instead. I think people who don't play these weird anime games will be endeared once they hear her bizarre curse words. And the fact that she's not another "look how big my sword is" that is plaguing Smash and this specific franchise's characters. Build a moveset out of her two canonical classes, Medic Gunner and Tactician. So that's a zoner with both linear shots and floating origami traps that explode. Alternatively, who's the second most popular character...probably Ethel right? I don't think any of the remaining 6 playable characters come close.

For me, I just want a Nopon in Smash, and I was mightily disappointed when the Double Nopon Tag Team ended up being unplayable in the actual game. So if it was totally up to me, Riku & Manana for Smash. They could be an ice climber duo, or a duck hunt style character where hitting one launches both of them. Less Big Swords, More Joke Characters in Smash. You don't need to have played Xenoblade to enjoy the satisfying clang of hitting someone with a cooking pan.

There is already a topic for posting your ideas for potential fighters and their moveset. Of course, it doesn't say anything about making stages or spirits/trophies, so I understand making this its own topic.
