Hero - Know Your Moves

[@relaxalax]

What characters do you want to see next? I'm genuinely curious so if you see comments begging for a character you want, like those top comments to push them up. I'll also be checking the old fashion way but since we have a couple of angles we could go with the next few (Terry and Byleth aren't too tough all things considered, Sakurai also did it for me f in chat) I'd like to hear who's the most requested. Do you want some Samus or Kid Icarus dives? Or the good ole plumber brothers? LET US KNOW PLEASE OK LOVE U THANKS 5 WATCHING!

[@partyharry7585]

Here's these great ones called Ike and Robin too be considered. Edit: If this guy below me is gonna recommend Uprising, I'm gonna recommend the Tellius and Archanea series.

[@expio4257]

Fun fact: The DQ1&2 heroes are consistently shown to not know zap spells. This is due to zap not existing in DQ1, and the DQ2 hero being the only hero who has zero access to magic. Because of this, they essentially contribute nothing to Gigaslash. On an unrelated note, the hero class in DQ is generally an all around class whose only flaw is that they're somewhat slow. This is carried into smash, as Hero can do *a lot* of different things but has pretty slow frame data and movement. Edit: DQ5 Hero also never learned the Zap spells, meaning only 4 of the seven Heroes that show up in gigaslash actually contributed something. Edit 2: DQ9 Hero also never learns zap, but does learn Gigaslash.

The DQ5 hero is in a similar camp as he himself isn’t actually the legendary hero, his son is. That’s why he uses a staff instead of a sword

The only other weapons Snake himself hadn't used are the Cypher (which act as enemies) and the Covering Fire (an MGS5 feature).

My friends don’t like me always talking about Dragon Quest XI as much as you talk about Persona 5.

[@Super-ln3kz]

ᴊ ᴇ s ᴛ ɪ ɴ does it get better? I played like 2 hours and I can’t get into the story and the gameplay is like most other jrpgs

[@Magic_Ice]

@Super It gets better when you get to Heliodor Castle. But overall once you get more party members then the game gets more fun because the Hero doesn’t have much of a personality so It’s good that the first party member is so good.

[@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283]

DQ surpised me with how engaging the story is. I cany stop gushing about that gane and Octopath

[@DarkGamer364]

@@Super-ln3kz Well most JRPGs start off slow and boring because for some players it needs time to get into the mechanics. But the furhter you go the more options you have and that's when the fun kicks in.

[@mrmwm5446]

@@Super-ln3kz 2 hours is nowhere near enough for a game like Dragon Quest. It's a journey around the (fictional) world, keep with it for a while and you'll end up loving it.

1:22 DAMN STRAIGHT IT WILL (Five seconds later) STICK CONTROLS!! AHH, IT BURNS!!! HOW DID HE KNOW MY WEAKNESS??!?!

[@FrostDriveX]

Damn this video was amazing. Watched it in its entirety and it didn't even seem like 25 minutes.. went by so fast. Great work!

[@brandonwilliams6119]

GOOD!

[@JosepiThe13th]

Ethan7760 You mean Cuphead? He’s not an RPG inspired character.

[@dilobs]

Down b isn't "a" move its a whole move set

[@artemiswetzler4902]

Doesn't it have more spells than the moves a character has??

[@Oreli]

it's three movesets

[@artemiswetzler4902]

Its more than a moveset lmao

[@apyschicduck7960]

9:50 Magic Points,Mana Points,Magic Power....which is it honestly?

[@DragonRagovi]

It's the whole game condensed into a single move. In fact, that's all of Hero in a nutshell. The whole game condensed into a single character.

The bit at 1:33 had big Scott the Woz energy. Nice video Relendix Appendix!

[@atomicwiththreeos]

9:30 actually his up taunt is a reference to DQ8 and it’s Psyche Up ability, which has characters emit a purple aura

[@christophereim4102]

Did you know that Zelda Game's Story and Dragon Quest's Story has strangely similar plots in multiple games? Seriously, DQ3's Plot is literally Link to the Past.

[@ben-ue8yc]

Christopher Eim Link to the Past came out after DQIII lmaoooo.

[@Geneolgia]

I read somewhere that DQ3 inspired a bunch of things in ALttP including the Master Sword.

[@jamesalexander5559]

@@Geneolgia Dragon Quest inspired a ton of RPGs and adventure games. Zelda 2 even references Dragon Quest in the graveyard.

[@tomasfong40]

the sword of light even precedes the master sword

[@christianlopez707]

That's because both DQ and Zelda are basically the same concept but in different genres. They both follow the story of the Yuusha which is basically a story of someone (most specifically someone in their teens) who is tasked with saving the world from some kinda dark lord. Which explains why Hero and Link are so similar, they effectively the same archetype.

[@ethanator6015]

7:09 Why hasn’t anyone made a compilation of Relax Alax attacking rats?

[@command_blockling_400mc9]

me: which move are you going to use hero: down b me: do you realize how little that narrows it down

[@thelemonbread777]

Fun fact: The up taunt isnt a reference to pep powers but mustering strength. Something enemies do before launching an attack on you. This video is still fantastic Alax! Keep it up.

[@daanhuisman1040]

Alax: If i make a single mistake the people are gonna be mad! Also Alax: MP, also your Magic Power (It's Magic Points)

[@skibot9974]

I understand Alax isn’t intersted in this series anymore but I hope somebody makes a similar series

[@deanoor9391]

I love Dragon Quest games, I play them whenever I'm not playing Fire Emblem

[@justjames4]

Alax: "Wanna see the Smash roster without characters that Dragon Quest directly or indirectly inspired?" Kamikaze. Me: "The Kirby characters, Olimar and Sonic are still there, so what happened to the roster? Nothing changed!"

4:41 What about a dild- never mind, I found one. Dammit!

[@b_Wtv14]

The dragon quest 1 hero not only follows in the footsteps of erdrick, but is actually is descendent, also the up taunt is a reference to psyching up in dq8

The way Alax talks about Persona 5 is how I feel about Dragon Quest 11. I dislike most RPGs but the DQ11 demo hooked me hard and now I’m 60 hours in and loving it.

1:35 Jesus, Alax was salty about people correcting him.

[@randomnpc445]

Put yourself in his shoes. You make one error (one that's pretty insignificant, let's be honest) And now a good 50% of the video's comments, at least, are about that one mistake. I don't even make videos or anything like that and it annoys _me._ We get it people, he made a mistake. He's seen the first thousand comments about it, you don't all have to make more.

[@KingZevon]
