Over the weekend, Nintendo showcased the full range of what Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is offering with a casual tournament featuring all characters and items. Konbu’s Roy (from the Fire Emblem series) had been getting attention throughout the tournament for his masterful use of items in each match, but it’s during his match with Brood, who chose the Castlevania series’ Richter, that his Roy goes full anime will a masterful dodge.
As captured by @theSirToasty on Twitter, when Brood’s Richter goes for his Final Smash attack, Konbu’s Roy dodges out of the way as the game zooms in on it. This reminded anime fans of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, as the final major battle between series lead Jotaro and series villain Dio featured plenty of time bending wackiness such as this.
The way Roy dodges around a slowed down Richter reminded fans of Jotaro keeping up with the time-stopping Dio, and Richter’s Final Smash aura further reminded fans of the series’ famous Stand abilities, which drapes its characters in such auras. With one anime moment like this, fans are eager to find out just what the full game is hiding. If you’re interested in this match, you can find the full video here.
