Thank you all for your support this year, whether you be a long-time fan or a newcomer. It's been awesome making videos for you guys. Making this finale was a herculean trial and I never want to see Filmora open again lol. I'm off to study for finals, see ya next time! - WOOD

awesome work, super comprehensive as always and I love the funny bits you sneak in too! :) P.S. I noticed a few typos/errors so if you need a fresh pair of eyes to give these analysis videos a quick once-over before they're uploaded then hmu. I can't imagine how much work these take so you must be sick of watching them by the time they're finished! XD
Hero is by far my favorite character in smash ever. Both as a DQ and as a smash fan. I don’t care what ppl say about him. At this point I’m numb to the dumb criticism. Ppl have had beef with Sonic, Little Mac, Megaman, Cloud, Pokemon Trainer, and now Hero. That sums up ALL my favorite characters. I’m done caring. Hero is fun. :) Even if he gets banned from tourneys someday , which he won’t, there’s nothing banning him from online.
I'm pretty sure I point this out with every upload, but this channel is seriously great and deserves more for the insane amount of effort put in. "and forces Snake to actually play the game" XD
PATCH 8.0.0 UPDATE: Hero got a minor buff to Kaboom. AttackModule::set_add_reaction_frame(ID=0, Frames=4, Unk=false) that gibberish means that the first "detonator" hit of kaboom will more easily link into the strong "explosion" hit. No more getting hit with one and then shielding the other.
I have since changed my opinion somewhat on Hero's up air. While tricky to use, it's speed and safety makes it stand out in Hero's rather sluggish moveset. It's great for combos out of down throw and is rather safe on shield and landing with it leads to uptilt and upsmash. One of the best acceleratle tools if you can get the tricky movement down
The amount of information and effort put into these videos is actually unbelievable. Fantastic job, I can't wait to see what else you create in the future.
I've been playing Hero for over 200 hours and i still learned something! Really nice analysis and I think you nailed all his pros and cons very early in his release. Good job.
@@LazorJunkieninja It's funny that people remember only the inconsistent RNG based kills that most of the time don't happen even once for set. The rest of the character's extremely glaring weaknesses are not even considered
Every dlc character has a gimmick that spices 'em up from the base roster Terry? 2 side specials and the GO! mechanic Banjo? wonderwing Joker? Arsene Piranha plant? Poison gas Hero? yes Hotel? Trivago
@@PBLKGaming I mean, it's one of very few moves that do damage but no knockback or hitstun in any way. It allows Plant to get a KO at 0% if she somehow breaks their shield that early due to being able to tack on about 50% easily.
Definitely would enjoy seeing a Ridley analysis as well as thoughts. But another one I would love to see is Donkey Kong, as this game has gone on he’s gone lower and lower in these tier lists I’d love to get his frame data and damage numbers. Keep up the great content
That classic clear montage at the end is great, I really miss those cool clips at the end and the victory jingle too. But I guess they now use the newcomer reveal trailers for that.
I think Bounce is actually completely fair because projectiles are so good against him, since it’s really hard to use his spell list when he’s getting hit by them.
The only problem for Hero is his inconsistency. He requires that you win neutral super hard in order to create space and win matches. I feel he is really good in tense situations because of that, as people will be more afraid to do mistakes.
I feel like the debate around Hero is fundamentally different. Banning something for being too good is worlds away from banning something because it's inherently RNG. This is new ground for smash cuz while we've had characters with a pinch of RNG before, we've never had one built almost entirely around it. Peach pulling a stitch face 1/58th of the time, a telegraphed move that can be reacted to and respected once confirmed to have occurred, is different than a decent smash attack you were going to use anyway having a 1/8th change of killing at 50% The debate around metaknight was about cast viability, and OPness. The debate around hero is essentially the debate about items and RNG stage hazards, but in character form.
Eaode honestly, if there’s any character that’s a threat to the game’s meta should be banned, brawl meta knight and smash 4 bayonetta should’ve been banned, but the smash community never did so I doubt Hero will get banned especially since Hero is way less annoying to play against than the both of those characters
The only problem I have with Hero is that it can be difficult for foreign players to read the Command Select in U.S. tournaments. They should make icons next to the words. It would be such an easy fix.
IMO Magic Burst isn’t bad but it’s very situational, like Hatchet Man. They’re both super powerful moves that you’ll never throw out raw, but can be used to punish a shield break or ledge trap the opponent.
@@charKT-7461 nope. depending on the MP and character youre using you can just jump over it or wait it out. if you grab ledge first getup attack will beat it as well as any projectile you toss its way from offstage. If you aren't at like 100%+ or they dont have almost max MP you'll probably live and get launched at a perfect angle to try recovering again it's a very situational move at best
Not only were the specific heroes chosen for their proportions, but it was mostly due to their relevance and popularity. XI promotes the newest release on the Switch (it's hilarious how Nintendo promotes Smash Bros. X DRAGON QUEST XI S: ECHOES OF AN ELUSIVE AGE - DEFINITIVE EDITION) VIII is the most popular game in the west, since it was released back in the PS2 alonside a bonus FFXII disc. Since IX was a DS exclusive and X a japanese MMO, the series has been "dormant" for most people III is the legendary hero Erdrick (Loto in JP). The first trilogy is centered around his legacy and ascencion into legend. XI has lot's of references and plot points towards Erdrick IV - I think he's the odd one out, since Sakurai couldn't use the hero from DQ I, allegedly as he's not as recognizable nor expressive as the other ones (his main design trait is actually using Erdrick's armor in most media), and the hero from V (the one with a turban) is mainly a magic user, being repurposed as a skin for Erdrick.
11 was choosen more than just most recent game. Dq has no official mascot except slime so the the face of the franchise is always the current main protagonist so thats why if they were going to choose one hero it was going to be 11. 4 was put it in because sakurai said he wanted to put in 5 but since none of his promotional art or anything he is from ever depicts him with a sword he scraped 5 and went with 4. 3 is the most popular game in the dq franchise and with all of its remakes has made it the most best selling game. It is also the most popular protagonist and game in japan And 8 was probably just put in due to it being the one with western appeal just like you said. It was the first dq game that actually sold well in the west and it was the first game they changed the name from dragon warrior to dragon quest in the west
13:41 perfect timing. This stage in it's regular form counts the gaps next to the middle platform as ground, and sent me into the abyss in a tourney. I think it's funny that it happened then, and now. But it could be worrisome in other situations. I hope they patch it if they haven't already.
Something I wished was mentioned when talking about tournaments was what to do about the language barrier. It's not my problem it's theirs, but still, it's a note worthy topic. .3.
No. There are too many variables that affect that between staleness, charging, how high off the ground you are for Aerials. It could get misleading. Check ultimateframedata.com if you want every attack's best possible shield advantage.
Basically Hero could be the best or the worst character dependent of luck. Because of that and the lackluster frame data, that means that is not a great character, only a protagonist of Smash recopilations. PD: You should change the "versatility" meter to "consitency" or "versatility/consistency" meter in the veredict, because you normally talk about consistency as well as how versatile the character is. Example: Mario could have a 5/5 in consistency because he has a move for every situation and doesn't have a single bad move, but that doesn't mean he lacks checks. Hero in that sense deserves a 4-5/5 in versatility because it has his down B but only deserves a 1-2/5 in consistency because RNG.
@@bullettime1116 I've lost a few Sudden Deaths because hero has no out of shields , safe moves, and mera doesn't kill at 300% :/ Aside from top decking a fast projectile I don't see how or why it's easy. Opponents can just approach with shield or in the air with faster moves / airspeed / projectiles
As much as I hate this character he will help me to mix up my gameplay for more creative solutions. Thanks for making this video it'll work me know how to beat hero better.
@@GameMasterWLC Lucky. I hardly make myself bigger but I do have invincibility for a bit just not too much since I am afraid of the negativity of that Spell
Otaku-Warrior 001 of course they would. The average player online/offline would have more trouble dealing with Hero. Hella immature to rage quit though. I’m a robin main. Learning a lot through these videos about Hero’s weakness but is still a pain in the ass. So yes, I’m crying salty tears. 😂 lmao
I just realized that the other heroes are smaller than the playable ones. Does that call for a Medium and light weight Hero? Oh my gosh it's like Link but *wizard.*
Would you say Hero or Samus has the better Neutral B? I've gone back and forth on that since he came out, although I'm leaning in favor of Charge Shot.
After Playing Hero for awhile Sir! No! You are WRONG on Kazap Stage 3 It is actually a useful tool But how it's applied is you over the course of the game condition your opponents with stage 2, Frizz stages and down B into being fish netted into stage 3. Basically use smart and wisely.
Keep in mind there are ways to short hand the reading process. For instance. When you're low on MP the menu will always put spells you CANNOT cast at the bottom of the menu. Other than that. Try to get good at only reading the first half of the spell word. Psych, accel, flame, kabo, etc
Because you only get 4 spells/commands out of 21 at a time. If you could bring up just 1 command at a time then they would need to add up to 100%. It's just a probability of the chance they'll show up as one of the 4
@@PBLKGaming Oh damn, very true. If you had a giant Command Select that had 21 slots, then every spell's chance to appear would become 100%. Hadn't thought of that, thanks for answering.
It’s not just DLC characters. Pretty much every fighter has *something* that nobody else has, and those gimmicks tend to get more flashy and complicated as time goes on.
Another contentions piece of his kit and common statement for the peeps who wanna see hero banned is how his command menu forces the other player to look down into the corner and react to 4 different options while hero *knows* he's gunna pull the menu and probably had an idea on what they're looking for. This makes reacting to the spells more difficult and inherently makes them all even more better good. The last thing, and probably the most important is the language barrier. Hero is just about impossible to play/play against internationally because of how the words in the menu change language. It would be sweet if Nintendo added symbols to the list to fix this, but without some kind of option like that hero in tournaments will always be a problem.
@@PBLKGaming absolutely. I used to be hard on the ban train, but ad I played you ret used to the character and their options. As you said Hero is overall a pretty average character all around with just some insane burst options. Hero in online doubles is a whole other level though lmao that shit's the single most frustrating broken nonsense in the world
if you're going to upload a video in 1080p, 60fps, make sure all aspects of your video are actually that resolution, because this video is made up of many, many different resolutions.
@@Druid-T But it's way more than that: look at the compression artifacts on the weight, speed, and air mobility gauges in the early part of the video. The PBLK icon that appears at 19:19, too. Also there are several different levels of recording quality used at different points: likely with different mics and audio spaces. Some might say these are nitpicks, but these are important things to be aware of in video editing.
Thanks. I'm always trying to improve the consistency. But I use the same mic at all times. The script was too long to record it all in one session so things may have sounded different. As far as "compression artifacts" I don't know what you mean. The guages have those spots because it's literally an image on top of an image being faded in. I'm working on getting those fully animated though, so stay tuned.

Hi. Thanks for the update and this video was absolutely amazing!

While tricky to use, it's speed and safety makes it stand out in Hero's rather sluggish moveset. It's great for combos out of down throw and is rather safe on shield and landing with it leads to uptilt and upsmash.

Would you say Hero or Samus has the better Neutral B? I've gone back and forth on that since he came out, although I'm leaning in favor of Charge Shot.
Charge shot is better than kafrizz
But frizz and frizzle are probably better than half charge shot aside from costing MP
You didn't mention he has a shield which can stop projectiles
It's not a huge factor in matchups. More of a fun little gimmick
After Playing Hero for awhile
Sir! No! You are WRONG on Kazap Stage 3
It is actually a useful tool
But how it's applied is you over the course of the game condition your opponents with stage 2, Frizz stages and down B into being fish netted into stage 3.

The time needed to study and navigate the menu singlehandedly keeps me from playing hero...
Keep in mind there are ways to short hand the reading process.
For instance. When you're low on MP the menu will always put spells you CANNOT cast at the bottom of the menu.
Other than that. Try to get good at only reading the first half of the spell word. Psych, accel, flame, kabo, etc
How do you best optimize HP invincibility. I wanted to ask in live chat, but I got put on time out.
Realize that they will always be running away from you. Corner them. Capitalize
What's up with it saying "Sans spells" in the versatility section?
Sans = without
4:34 Just what do these percentages mean? If you add them up, they go way above 100%.
Because you only get 4 spells/commands out of 21 at a time. If you could bring up just 1 command at a time then they would need to add up to 100%. It's just a probability of the chance they'll show up as one of the 4
@@PBLKGaming Oh damn, very true. If you had a giant Command Select that had 21 slots, then every spell's chance to appear would become 100%. Hadn't thought of that, thanks for answering.

Why do the dlc fighters always get a special ability?
There's a lot of non-DLC characters that have unique traits. Little Mac has KO Punch, Rosa has Luma, and Bowser has Tough Guy armor.
It’s not just DLC characters. Pretty much every fighter has *something* that nobody else has, and those gimmicks tend to get more flashy and complicated as time goes on.
So that you buy them. They want money. If balance has to be sacrificed for that to happen, they couldn’t care less.
KamektheMagikoopa1 lmao. The DLC chars are not unbalanced. Joker is very strong, but not broken.
To make them worth buying

I wanted to day once my hero foe get súper mushroom out of hocus pocus and thanks to being huge I juggle him until the effect wore off and killed him

Should've made it purple
Do bowser jr next
I kinda wish he was less reliant on rng with down b.
He’s not reliant on it. You can easily win with just neutral and side B, as both are broken in their own way. Down B is just a side thing

Another contentions piece of his kit and common statement for the peeps who wanna see hero banned is how his command menu forces the other player to look down into the corner and react to 4 different options while hero *knows* he's gunna pull the menu and probably had an idea on what they're looking for.
This makes reacting to the spells more difficult and inherently makes them all even more better good.
The last thing, and probably the most important is the language barrier. Hero is just about impossible to play/play against internationally because of how the words in the menu change language. It would be sweet if Nintendo added symbols to the list to fix this, but without some kind of option like that hero in tournaments will always be a problem.
Language barrier aside, if you know that matchup you should have an idea of what the Hero is going to look for too.
@@PBLKGaming absolutely. I used to be hard on the ban train, but ad I played you ret used to the character and their options. As you said Hero is overall a pretty average character all around with just some insane burst options.
Hero in online doubles is a whole other level though lmao that shit's the single most frustrating broken nonsense in the world

Why is your footage dark?
Capture card doesn't like the switch. Most of the clips I correct the contrast in post but I am unable to do that with the overlay footage
What's mean FAF ?
Watch the frame data 101 video
if you're going to upload a video in 1080p, 60fps, make sure all aspects of your video are actually that resolution, because this video is made up of many, many different resolutions.
Because footage is being pulled from different tournaments, some of which don't have access to those
@@Druid-T But it's way more than that: look at the compression artifacts on the weight, speed, and air mobility gauges in the early part of the video. The PBLK icon that appears at 19:19, too. Also there are several different levels of recording quality used at different points: likely with different mics and audio spaces. Some might say these are nitpicks, but these are important things to be aware of in video editing.
Thanks. I'm always trying to improve the consistency. But I use the same mic at all times. The script was too long to record it all in one session so things may have sounded different.
As far as "compression artifacts" I don't know what you mean. The guages have those spots because it's literally an image on top of an image being faded in. I'm working on getting those fully animated though, so stay tuned.
