Mateus Moveset Discussion

[Mirron]

Any moves you wish Mateus had but he didn't? How about any clever traps and plots you have as him? List them here. An in general Mateus discussion, related to his moveset, and his flaws/strengths.

The one...

Where his staff spins around in a circle and the sucks you in and makes you do a little dance.

I got stuck in it 5 times in a row once playing as OK.

I didn't like playing as him though... because I think that it's much more fun to run up and start beating the crap out of someone instead of laying little spiky balls around and waiting for someone to run into them.

Woo! A response. No one seems to like the Emperor. Lighting Crest, the moves name if I remember correctly, is pretty awesome as an attack. And I understand wanting to beat up enemies. I'm just impressed they managed such a playstyle in this game, since a Trapmaker is completely unheard of as a fighting style in most if not all games. Shame that his moves aren't too much better, although Lighting Crest is annoying enough to make up for that.

Emperor, after watching all the videos online will be one of my first handful of characters I want to master, and I totally agree, A trap setter is truly an original, and most awesome Idea for a character.

You're definitely right. No one like the emperor seems to come to mind...

I wish he had the move in the opening movie where land mines appear around his opponents then explode. It looks so badass. I was kind of dissappointed when I found out he doesn't have this move.
Here is a combo I use when I play as the Emperor: Stickbomb-->Lightning Crest-->Air Mines/Land mines/Bomb Attack
After hitting the oppponent with a Stick Bomb, dash to him/her (if necessary) and place a Lightning Crest. If you time it right, when the Bomb explodes, your opponent will still be zapped by the Crest, giving you enough time to do one more attack. This combo deals quite a lot of damage.

Really, I just see him as a magical version of snake from ssbb

Except with only one physical attack. Even that one leads into a magical attack.

Which is why I said magical

Emperor is way different from Snake.

Snake's biggest weakness is his relative lack of mobility but he compensates for this with traps and powerful close range attacks.

Emperor's biggest weakness is his lack of powerful close range attacks but he compensates for this with traps and fairly good mobility.
