Hi everyone, my name is Jonah Abenhaim. I'm 18 and one of my passions is animation and more
specifically Japanese Anime. I also enjoy sketching and like to run and bike on my free time.
that I would talk about is Super Smash Bros Ultimate (SSBU). A very
popular character in SSBU is a character called Hero, from a popular long
running JRPG (Japanese Role Playing game) from the mid 1980s.
Anyways let's smash our way in... So Hero's a character that's filled with
lots of RNG (random number generator ) moves. What makes him so
different from other smash characters is that you have this menu icon below hero that you
can activate by pressing down B on your controller which has different spells and effects.
Depending on what you get, there's also an MP (magic power) bar above Hero so you might want to
watch out how many spells you use! Now I won't dive too deep into this but basically while his
moves are powerful they do cost a lot of MP. Like Magic Burst (a magic spell) for example which
will cause a massive purple explosion you can easily get caught in. For instance, if you're unaware
you can get caught in it and have very little reaction time to escape this spell.
A special term called a "thwack" is a slow sword attack but can do massive damage to your
opponent. Now, you might think he's overpowered, like what other pro players may think, but
in my opinion, Hero isn't overpowered Hero suffers from a bad combo game meaning that it's hard
to set up great combos (chain of attacks) if you're only relying on your sword and magical fire attack.
Hero's sword while having a bit of a killing power, also has some added frames. As well, since most
of his powerful attacks cost a lot of MP, I recommend maybe at most 3 or 4 spells that can be
used on him and after that he'll become pretty weak.
So in summary, people really shouldn't complain that Hero should be banned from tournaments if
they don't put in the time and effort to understand the character's strength and weakness by practicing
or learning the match up against him.
So, peace out...
