Because all of the Rhythm Heaven characters' moves are so... well, rhythmic, they're perfect for a fighting game; they already respond to input snappily by design.

[@zeppie_]

The timing on her moveset should be made so that she should be best playable to a beat at a certain bpm. Perhaps her attacks get an extra sweet spot of you do so to give an incentive

[@DannyDog27]

I think having moves that work like a rhythm game would be way too easy to read/punish and wouldn’t allow very much room for mixups. If your opponent has literally any sense of rhythm they can know more or less exactly when you’ll attack. TL;DR if they did add any kind of rhythm game character to smash they’d probably suck

[@tvoltage]

I never thought of this until now, but another good character choice for a rhythm heaven rep would simply be a "Rhythm Monkey". Monkeys show up in SO MANY minigames and have plenty of moves you could pull, like tossing the golf ball, hitting the tambourine. Of course there's minigames the video mentions too you can pull moves from. Like tap trial, monkey watch, fan club, etc. Not sure if they would be able to pull off the Karate Joe moves though. Or any human proportioned character moves. Or rather, the monkeys COULD do these moves but it would look a bit off. But yeah, hmm I feel like this character idea has some legs. Monkeys are so prevalent in the franchise, even if they're more often a supporting role in minigames rather than the character you play as. It makes sense for them to be the face of Rhythm Heaven for Smash, and I'm always a fan of more funny monkeys. That said, Rhythm Girl has better alt options, and getting another girl character is even more epic than getting a funny monkey

i remember seeing a speedpaint of a fake rhythm heaven announcement, it was of the Rhythm Girl, holding a tamborine with the purple Rhythm Monkey on her arm and a Glee Club member in front of her legs.

[@robhillen8007]

Atypical character and franchise choice. Moves having a clear inspiration that's also intuitively what that move would be. Top notch music choice. This is a solid smash fighter concept video! It's not a big deal, but I would have liked a discussion of her classic mode route. Also, I think Uair and Nair would make more sense if they were swapped, since the monkey swings over head quickly while the flip would hit all around and be dangerous for the entire revolution. I have some hitbox ideas for it if you want to hear it.

[@computer-love]

what do you mean "if you want to hear it" *hell yes we want to hear it*

[@robhillen8007]

@@computer-love ​ @eudoxia ̊ The down smash would be two hitboxes; a vertical pill from her head to the foot of the retracted leg, and a horizontal one from her stomach to the foot of the extended leg. The vertical one would send behind her at an upwards diagonal while the horizontal one would send in the direction she's facing at a similar but slightly shallower angle. I think it would be cool if, for the up smash, she does the leg sweep right before the uppercut, which would make it possible to hit grounded opponents that aren't phasing into her without it looking janky. The leg sweep would be a simple horizontal pill that's noticeably thicker than her model, while the pow would be the same but vertically oriented. The sweep would have fixed knockback and obviously be angled to land you in the place where the punch appears. The reason I say the sweep hitbox is thicker is so she can use it to hit below the ledge, but the upwards trajectory of a typical up smash makes it not too powerful of an edgeguarding option. Forward tilt would be pretty simple, being a spherical hitbox on that cover from the club head up one third of the club's length. The rest of the club would be a sourspot, and the hands and arms would be what I call a bitterspot. the sweetspot send at an upwards diagonal with above average damage for an ftilt, but slightly below average knockback. The sourspot would send closer to horizontally out, less damage, but deal the same amount of knockback. The bitterspot would deal much less kockback than both, but deal the same damage as the sourspot. I can't think of what direction the bitterspot would logically send in, so I'll just say it sends strait up because combos and jank. Up tilt would be pretty simple in layout. A big hitbox that extends from around her forehead to a bit above the hands, lasting from right before the hands touch to right before she takes them apart. It would be almost purely anti-air, sending strait up and lacking the power needed to be a kill move. I say almost because you would probably be able to hit big guys like DK and K Rool even when they're grounded, and then combo the move into itself several times because their weight prevents them from escaping. If that seems unfair, it can be an aerial only hitbox so grounded opponents are unaffected by it. Down tilt would also have a pretty simple layout. Sweetspot on the foot, and sourspot on the leg. I really want to say that the foot could two-frame and would spike, but that would almost definitely be broken as heck. Inst'ead, it sends at normal angles and does moderate damage... *to grounded opponents*. if it hits an aerial opponent, it spikes and boy does it. I don't think it would be broken though, since it would be hard to have your foot far enough out to kill them in the bottom blast zone rather than bounce upward off the stage. For her dair, it's just a pill extending from her head to her legs. It would spike for the first couple frames, then send straight up until she hit the ground. She does the landing pose when hitting an opponent and when landing. You can act out of the move after 1 second (I hate stall and falls that don't let you do that until you're already in the blast zone), but if don't act out of it, a small hitbox that just barely covers both feet appears that once again spikes. The initial spike would have regular knockback scaling, but this new one would have fixed knockback so you always die second. Think of it as a reward for dedicating your life to the stall and fall. Theoretically, though, you could hit someone with the fixed spike and then up b out of it back to stage without dying, which would be kind of broken, make people very salty when it works on them, and be hilarious to see happen 100% of time. There is a landing hitbox, but it just trips the opponent and doesn't do much damage. the tripping might be possible to use as a kill confirm, but I think it would be fine if it wasn't useful for much else. The uair would just be a slightly faster and decently weaker version of DK's, but replace the headbutt with a hand swinging overhead. One hitboxe would be attached to and a fair bit bigger than the hand. Perhaps give it a sourspot on the arm, but It would probably be fine without one. Having the flip as the nair, the head would make the most sense as the sweetspot. It would launch away and do moderate damage for a single hit. The torso would be the sourspot, doing slightly less damage and much less knockback. The sourspot would be harder to kill with, but easier to combo into other moves. The legs would deal barely any damage, but would have an autolink angle to make it easier to get hit by the head which would be half a revolution behind. The torso and leg hitboxes would make the most sense being the pill shaped ones so they would cover the most area. You know Sephiroth's bair? Imagine that, but with a tennis racket. It would be one hitbox centered on the net of the racket with almost the strength of that sweetcpot. That might be overtuned, but it's probably not overpowered with how it doesn't have much range. She would wind up her swing to make the startup and power more believable. Fair would just be bair but much weaker and much faster. It would also be a downward swing rather than horizontal to give it more effective area. Maybe a windbox could extend from the tip that slightly pushes opponents down and/or away, but that's adding complexity where it's completely unnecessary (like I haven't done that already). Specials are special and get to have weird non-hitbox properties that I don't understand, so I'll be talking more conceptually. I also don't know much about how projectile hitboxes work, probably because most projectiles are tied to specials. I *do* know that in order for the balloons to be poppable by other players, they have to have hurtboxes that can take damage, but also need coding to not register it as being damage taken by rhythm girl. To make the side b not a bad idea to use, I'd make it so the baseball take knockback like Wii Fit Trainer's side b, but make it so Rhythm Girl can move as soon as the monkey catches the ball. This would allow Rhythm girl to run to where the monkey will throw the ball, and hit it with any of her moves. This would give it crazy versatility and mixup potential, as she can hit it in several different directions and at varrying speeds, leading to many potential trajectories to use to your advantage. Since the opponent can also hit it if they have good timing and it can be blocked by stages and platforms, it shouldn't be versatile to the point of being a "solves all your problems" type move. I think it would be pretty funny if not hitting it allowed it to function as a gimping tool, especially with how insanely telegraphed it would be. What if the umbrella allowed other players to recover with you via some demonic windbox that somehow deals damage? Even worse! What if it's a normal hitbox that deals knockback without putting you in hitstun? The thought terrifies me. I don't know enough about crop stomp to say what the different turnips' properties would be or if they would have such, so I'll just say it's a reskin of peach's down b. Sorry. I know nothing about how final smash hitboxes work, to the point that I don't know if they even use the same hitbox types and formatting as the rest of the game, and this one specifically is conceptually simple so there's not much for me to say on it. I was very much ready for bed when I wrote this, so sorry if it was rambly/incoherent.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Then what would the overall archetype of Rhythm Girl be? Would she be some close range fighter that could trap (I am thinking especially about Built to Scale for ledgetrapping and catching landings, Crop Stomp as a hard punish, etc)? Would she be the Rhythm Heaven version of Ness (average stats, good aerials, a good yet predictable and punishable Up B, side B that are smashes, references to the entirety of his/her series and not just her because he/she has very little attacks of his/her own, references as detailed to their series as much as Smash Bros. Ultimate can spare)? Would she play like Zelda (strong, identical back air and forwards air, a neutral B/down Bthat controls space based on timing and has different attacking properties based on how quickly you get Neutral B/down B out)?

[@robhillen8007]

​@@iantaakalla8180 To me, she sounds like a brawler nightmare with a few powerful trapping and zoning tools. She has a decent offstage presence, ledge trapping, aerial, anti aerial and combo game, and has several ways to get you to high percent and no shortage of ways to kill you once she gets you there. In other words, a very good character (on paper anyways). She does have an exploitable recovery, but that's only a problem if you get hit or go too deep for the offstage plays.

[@iantaakalla8180]

I just realized that down tilt having spiking properties is the best version of Luigi’s down taunt.

[@shengshu3510]

I finally get why jan misali posted that one video about letting the bodies built to scale

[@DrPumpkinz]

I went into this video extremely skeptical, as I find most fan-made Smash movesets to be very poorly designed. I was very pleasantly surprised. This moveset is great. The "make literally every move a reference to something" approach to moveset design is far too overused in fan-made movesets, but it _can_ work well in some cases, and Rhythm Heaven's wacky and eccentric gameplay makes Rhythm Girl's amalgamation of references feel right at home next to fighters like Wii Fit Trainer and Mr. Game & Watch. Additionally, the special moves are unique, interesting, and utilize rhythm in clever ways, while avoiding the trap of being extremely gimmicky or divergent from standard Smash design. Plus, she has three different projectiles and all of them are tricky, which means she'd probably be played as zoner, and I love me a good zoner. I think the only part I disagree on is I think neutral air and up air should be swapped. The Monkey Watch hi-five would work better as an up air, since the monkey on the second hand always slaps above its head, and I'm having trouble visualizing how Rhythm Girl would move when using it as a neutral air. The flip honestly works fine as an up air, but it would also work fine as a neutral air. Think Villager, Bowser, and Kirby.

[@ianmason3357]

I thought the same exact thing about neutral air and up air. And I agree that this moveset slaps

[@yeetoburrito6445]

As someone who doesn't even own a switch and only dabbled in DS and Fever (and forgot about the series for like a decade lol), I now fully support you and 100% hope this happens. For what it's worth, your Rhythm Heaven content got me to bust out my old DS a while ago and charge it up just to come back to Built to Scale, so as someone who absolutely did not come to your channel for Rhythm Heaven content, I really appreciate the nostalgia hit videos like this give me.

Only things i'd change are to give her a paper-mario style 'sweetspot' on her normal/grab attacks; all of them are multi attack anyway so they should do more damage if you hit the attack button on beat with the animation (or if you release the attack button on the final beat) Maybe for extra spice her animations for those attacks could match the BPM of the background music - only if hazards are on of course since it changes her frame-data. Also maaaybe the monkey on side-b should be a mixup; have her launch a fast-ball projectile on tap, or you can hold to charge it; passing the ball to the monkey while taking out a bat - the monkey soft-balls it back to rhythm girl on release with it reaching a sweet-spot range after the same amount of time as he charge was held (max 1 second or 2 beats)

i like to think that for the final smash, if you're caught in the attack and you taunt at exactly the right time you receive reduced damage

You have no idea how happy this made me. Honestly overwhelmed with joy because I can tell you genuinely love the series

Transitioning from remix 10 to final remix during flockstep, very clean

[@scrappedmetal]

would the songs have the sound effects from the games? listening through them all i felt like they were all missing stuff, but some of the sound effects could understandably be distracting in background music. maybe new, more subtle but still kinda punchy instruments could play the sounds the player usually inputs? i guess that would technically make every song a bit of a new arrangement but i'd assume it'd be fairly simple

[@GravityGuava]

Ringside sounds so strange without “Wubba dubba dub, is that true?”

[@hunterst.arnold6646]

I swear, the part where you are going over the new music arrangements is so well done, inserting "I suppose" to line with it's appearance in the song was pretty clever. Don't get me started on the seamless transition between the Flockstep part of Remix 10 to Final Remix, that was PERFECT!

[@CaptainMeleon]

i love how you just post whatever you want and i'm always interested, keep doing everything you like cause it's really fun to watch

[@jeroenjoetjoep]

Never played Rhythm Heaven, don’t know anything about it (other than Let The Bodies Built To Scale), couldn’t care less about the game. But man... I’ve watched 26 minutes in pure amazement! Hats off, jan Misali!

[@seanyproductions]

No joke, this video is what got me into Rhythm Heaven. After watching this my recommended was flooded with RH videos so I impulse bought Megamix on the eShop. Now it’s one of my favorite Nintendo series. thank you for introducing me to this amazing series!

[@DWN037]

I'll accept this moveset only if you can dodge Ringside by pushing the taunt button to the same timing cue as in the minigame Edit: forgot to say screw you, Micro-Row rules, in a perfect world it would get its own new arrangement, screw you again, subscribed

[@a52productions]

I really love all the miscellaneous content you put out -- a lot of it is stuff I'm not into myself, but your enthusiasm for it is so infectious! As somebody with my own wide and unrelated collection of intense interests, I can't help but enjoy your passion. Also somebody should make her in Mugen or something

[@Cutekitty858]

This video rules massively, so much in-depth knowledge/research, engaging commentary, and it's so nice to find someone who loves the Rhythm Heaven franchise as much as I do!

[@Agnes.Nutter]

I’ve been asking for her for years! Nice :D

[@pugglelover135]

Oh my god, the amount of sheer joy I got from watching this video. I love this idea so much (also that transition at 24:00 between Both Flock Steps? Very good 👌)

[@DavidMismo]

*yes* I love Ultimate and all, but to me Smash will never feel complete without a Rhythm Heaven fighter, too bad it's as you say and it most likely won't be DLC (hope we're wrong in this one). This video sounds like a dream -of our generation- to me.

[@CyanSoCalico]

Apart from how godlike this video is as-is and how faithful it is to the entire Rhythm Heaven franchise while being diverse in its references, the "speaking of idles/idols" transition at 8:41 was genius and sent me into a laughing fit

[@gamerkaue88]

I love the absolute mosh of different content this channel has.

[@danieldelmara]

Just want to comment again saying that this is honestly one of my favorite video essays at the moment its such a good analysis and I love how passionately and how well put together this is. Thanks for this and I hope for more in depth rhythm heaven essay content soon.

Imo the best rhythm heaven character would be a generic monkey. I mean, they're everywhere and they're super iconic, it would make a ton of sense

[@Weebusaurus]

This video makes me sad, not because Rhythm Girl didn't make it into Ultimate, but because even when a Rhythm Heaven rep DOES make it into a future Smash game (which I think is at least plausible) it won't have as much love and attention put into it as this.

[@despaircitov3535]

[@Xentipiiides]

i click on a video in my reccomended "oh hey rhythm heaven! that makes sense ive been watching a bunch of that lately" watches it recognizes the intro "...OH YEAH!!!! this is the guy who's on my weird niche math and physics playlist who got me to join the polyhedra discord thing! huh, damn."

[@HomeWingGamer]

What a pleasant surprise of a topic! and a very solid concept for a character to boot! I think the only move i think might need a change is Built to Scale, since standing around and pressing B five times for a single projectile might be not that good to use, even in terms of casual play. Maybe instead it could summon one of the squares to roll forwards to the B-press beat, with that fifth press being the rod hitting the square to deal a lot more powerful of a hit?

[@ashaler__]

misali i SWEAR why do you do all the things

[@givecamichips]

There's one crucial aspect of a Smash character that's been overlooked here: Their Boxing Ring titles! I have a few that I think would be nice: Rhythm Girl 1: Battle Dancer/Dance Battler Pop Star: Song of Your Doom (I was considering Ideal Idol, but that's a bit cheesy) Reporter: Intrepid Reporter Cosmic Girl: Out of Deep Space Pitcher: Fireballer Radio Operator: Starship Director Scientist: Finding a Formula for Victory Rhythm Girl 2: Tap Diva
