Moveset Analysis: Peach in Smash Ultimate 

Nice vid! I really like the changes made to side B and aerial down B. Neutral special though… idk. I agree with removing the counter, but Monado Arts? On a meter? With multiple inputs required to use it? I mean I get it, she already sets up for combos by pulling turnips while the opponent is away, but at a certain point it becomes like that anime scene with the guy casting every buff spell on himself before fighting, and that’s already Wii Fit Trainer’s gimmick lol. Also, while I don’t HATE super princess peach, I think there’s a reason Nintendo hasn’t had peach crying to attack enemies in any games since. For functionality, I think a move with a multi hit burst hitbox around her (ala Mewtwo’s neutral air, but with a bigger range), where you have free movement while the attack is active. So if you’re in the air and your opponent is on the ground, you could use neutral special, and swoop down & back up to drag them into the air. So it isn’t always her best air option, it can be like Bowser’s fire breath where it depletes in size if she spams it. And you’d presumably only get to use it once in the air anyway. For the visuals - the fire vibe from SPP could be fine I suppose, but I feel like that would still kinda clash with the aesthetics of the rest of her kit unless you changed how the fire looked (there’s a reason her side b doesn’t make a fiery explosion like it did in melee). She’s already the spin-off rep with her sports & RPG moves, perhaps make the new neutral special using the Star Rod or Star spirits from paper Mario? Stars in general are often associated with her, so having her hold the Star Rod up while a burst of stars & pink magic beams appear in a circle around her could be a cool nod. Or maybe it can be hearts swirling around her like her special items in double dash/Mario party 7?

Peach 😳😳

nice i'm not huge on the emotion gimmick as like, a creative thing supposed to be specific to peach (as in, i find its inclusion weird in super princess peach), since she's not the most varied in emotions usually, but it'd work great as a gimmick in a new game where it could instead be different costumes to act in. lots of development would go into that, of course, even if it's just physics changes, but still.
