- This article is about the fighter's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Crusade. For the character info, see Ristar
Ristar is one of the first 16 characters in Super Smash Bros. Crusade, although he appeared in practically only one game. His sprites have been the same since v0.1 for a long time and have lagged significantly behind the other characters but is finally resprited in v0.9.5 TEST.
Eriko Hanada's portrayal of Ristar was repurposed for Crusade since v0.9 TEST.
Attributes[]
Ristar is a lightweight character, combining being as small as Kirby with the same weight as Pikachu, Meta Knight and others. And yet, his range is one of the best in the game, and a number of his moves hit several times for assurance.
Due to being able to use the side and up specials a number of times in the air, he can easily fly through it, performing mindgames, and overall is an air-based character. His main problem is the fact that he doesn't have any projectiles, but Ristar's main strategy is to fly around, move at almost all times, avoid as many moves as you can, and when they're close enough, which is farther away than many of the characters in the game can reach, Ristar can strike them with his stretchy arms.
His Neutral Special is unique in the fact that not only does it strike from a bit away, but after he uses it, he bounces back, keeping away from the enemy. His down special is definitely not practical on the ground, seeing as it has a very small hitbox, but when use it in the air, it attacks as a meteor smash, going down for a very, very long time. Rarely, though, if you use it in the ground, you can bury your opponent. His up special is good for immediately getting rid of surrounding opponents, attacking them with a small, "get away" attack, then ascends to a very, very great height.
Ristar's critical weakness is his inability to deal with projectiles, and many of the projectiles in the game have high priority, making Ristar have a hard time with projectile campers like Krystal and Goku. Another weakness is having high amounts of lag in his moves, start-up or ending, making Ristar easy to punish despite his amazing range.
